Chapter 9: Hello Big City!
Town E was extremely down today. No one could explain why. If the world's happiest person came in there, they would begin bawling their eyes out from sadness. Why you may ask. It wasn't for a reason you'd expect. Was it the tournament? No. They had been disappointed in that but they moved on. Was it their two day trip to the city? No. That had made them excited.
It was the new member of their town. Someone they met a while back. The boys feared her, the girls hated her and Korosensei, Karma and Karasuma didn't outwardly care about her. She donned shining purple robes, a second, inner layer of clothes that left nothing to the imagination, a purple hat and she had blond hair. It was Irina the Witch. What was she doing? Trying to teach magic to the trainees of Town E before the trip to the city.
"Oi!" She yelled to no effect. "Listen to me you stuck up brats!"
Oh yes, she was definitely winning the trainees hearts.
"Do you want to learn something or what?" She yelled again, getting more furious by the second. "That's it! You cop the worst of my spells! The seduction spell!"
She started casting seduction spells on the boys again, but no before a neon set of fireballs got sent down to her.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" She yelled, her eyes almost popping out of her head and landing on the dirt ground.
"You wanted us to use spells right?" Karma said smiling darkly.
"THAT'S RIGHT YOU BRATS! NOW USE YOUR SPELLS!"
She instantly regretted this as all of the teens attacked her at once.
"YOU SAID SO MISS!" "(Evil Laugh)" "NO BIG BOOBS!"
Nagasaki sweat dropped at Kayano's comment.
'Seriously?' He thought to himself.
"Can we move on with the plot now?" Fuwa asked nobody in particular.
"Who are you talking to?" Nagisa asked.
"The readers!"
"Who?"
"ANYWAY YOU BRATS!" Irina said, flames coming out of her hat while she was looking badly burnt. "YOU ALL SHOULD PACK SOME OF YOUR THINGS, SO GET READY!"
"Yes Witch-sensei,"
"AND DON'T CALL ME THAT! My last name is Jelavich!"
"Whatever Witch-sensei,"
The trainees laughed as they walked while hearing Irina go spastic over the fact that they didn't listen.
MIDDAY, TOWN E
The trainees were all packed and ready for the trip to the main city.
"Now class, I need you all to go into groups of six, that way you all can't possibly get kidnapped easily,"Korosensei said with a stern face, that looked more comical than stern.
"Hey, how about we get into our Town Raid groups?" Isogai suggested.
"That's a great idea!" "Saves us some time," "NO BIG BOOBS!"
Nagisa sweat dropped again.
'She just won't let it go,'
NIGHTTIME, CITY
"We finally made it class!" Korosensei said facing all of the trainees, extremely worn out from the trip. "This was barely anything for us!"
'Says the octopus who moves at Mach 20,' everyone thought, paling from the rather eventful trip.
'Flashback!'
'After beginning their trip, Korosensei immediately sped off, never to be seen until the city. Everyone was a bit annoyed with this but pushed on, unhindered by the current trials. Note the word current. Two hours later and everything turned out horrible.
They were attacked by bears, mushrooms, birds, a creature that looked like Korosensei in a bear suit. It was absolutely horrible!
When they finally got to the city, everyone stared at them, frowning at the trainees filth.
"Hey look, it's those Town E freaks!"
They were laughed at. Nagisa's face had gone dark at this, his eyes beginning to glow a light blue. Frightening everyone around them, including Town E. The people ran away after that, calling them freakshows.
'Flashback End'
"Now anyway, let's move on towards where we're staying!" Korosensei said with his oversized bag which had just appeared out of nowhere. "We need to stay somewhere safe from the bandits! We mustn't get ourselves too over-excited about this trip!"
"Hypocrite..." Everyone thought, sweat-dropping.
They made their way through the city, wowing at the lights, the buildings and the atmosphere of the city. The whole place was so lively, it was hard to imagine that such a sadistic person ran this whole place.
While they were walking through a market, they overheard some of the talk about the tournament.
"Town A was so good this year!" "Yeah, they broke every record previously held by themselves!" "And their representative, Gakushu Asano is so amazing!" "Yeah! He took down Town E with little help!" "He even fought off that other kid with a legendary weapon!" "How did they even get it? They are terrible!"
Suddenly they stopped talking. Everyone turned around to the group of kids. There seemed to be a dark mist surrounding them, and it seemed to want to kill everyone around the children. Everyone immediately bolted off, leaving the group of children to themselves.
After a few moments of absolute silence, Korosensei, Karasuma and Irina came out of hiding.
"We really need to teach you all to hide your bloodlust better. How are we going to enter resturants acting like that?" Korosensei said, his face a dark blue.
After a few more distractions, the Town E trainees found the place where they were staying. While everywhere around the place they were staying at was beautiful and elegant, the place that they were staying at for two nights looked run down and seemed to have been abandoned ages ago. The only thing that notified the trainees that this place had been touched before was the big fat sign on the front that simply read, 'E'.
Upon entering, they found that the exterior had completely tricked them. Everything looked polished and clean. Apart from the walls, which still looked shoddy.
"You may be wondering why the outside looks so bad but the inside looks so good. The answer is, when I came to this place, I made some improvements! The Town A may also now get some... Surprises when they get to their area... Nehehehehe!"
"Korosensei!" Everyone said as they laughed from Korosensei's antics and the fact that he stole furniture from Town A's area. Little did they know a certain pinkish, redish haired person screamed in fury after looking in the place that he was staying at.
MORNING, CITY
"Okay everyone, get into your groups and go to the places you wanted to go to! We already wasted yesterday so let's get a move on class!"
Nagisa found Kayano, Karma, Sugino, Okuda and Kanzaki after a bit of time and when the got ready, they found that they had wasted an entire hour looking for each other. This made them stress a little but they decided to still take things slow as they didn't want to rush it.
First they went to the building of the man who ran the city and created the 'Towns for the Trainees' plot. While they didn't really resent him, they were still a bit miffed that he purposely created Town E to be designed for failures and it wasn't just some sad accident.
Then they went to an archery range where some of the best archers in the world were practicing. They had to pull Sugino away from there.
After that, they went to the market that they went to the previous day. It seemed like nothing had happened there the previous night.
It was the late afternoon when they finally got to the last place they wanted to visit. A small alleyway that Kanzaki wanted to visit for some reason.
"Wow, this place is so isolated," Kayano said as she looked around.
"Yep! This is the perfect place to kill Korosensei," Kanzaki said as they walked through the alley. "There's barely anyone who comes here and it really confined! We could block Korosensei from escaping."
"Wow Kanzaki! You thought of everything!" Karma said, amazed that his classmate had thought that far.
The plan for the trip was for Korosensei to accompany all four groups at different times throughout the day.
"Wow, look at what we have here," someone from down the alleyway said. "Some kids thought they could tread over OUR territory."
The whole group turned around. What they found were a group of thugs, all with their clubs out, snickering.
"Oh no!" Kayano and Okuda cried. "We're trapped!"
"Don't worry, they're probably just some pussy cats that came looking for trouble," a certain redhead said, bringing out his regular knives. "Come on, show me you're all not a bark with no bite!"
"You asked for it!" A thug said, smiling under his hood.
-Battle Start!-
"Where did that come from?" Nagisa asked himself, questioning his sanity.
(Attackers: Karma A, Nagisa S, Kayano K, Okuda M, Sugino T, Kanzaki Y) (Defenders: Thug Horde)
"I am going insane," Nagisa said, deadpanning.
Just after Nagisa said that, the thugs started rushing towards the group of trainees. Nagisa reached to get his sword from his back but found the only thing he grabbed was air. Nagisa cursed his luck and he heard the others curse too. The only who looked prepared for this was Karma, who was wielding his regular dual knives. Nagisa rallied all of his friends, ready for a battle with the fists and feet.
Karma managed to intercept the thugs first. Karma first hit them with the handle of one of his knives before kicking them in the nuts. When three of them ganged up on them, he low swept them all, knocking them all over face first. Nagisa, Kayano, Sugino and surprisingly Kanzaki were doing okay at taking out some of the thugs. They were determined not to lose like in the tournament... But of course it went wrong.
It started to slowly fall apart. First Karma got hit on the head with one of the clubs with a comical 'bonk' noise, rendering Karma unconscious and leaving the remaining fighting force heavily weakened. Nagisa and Kayano went down first, being the weakest out of them all. Okuda had been hiding the whole time so she was fine. Sugino went down defending Kanzaki. Kanzaki got taken down by multiple clubs at once.
Nagisa, Kayano and Kanzaki all got tied up while Okuda hid herself using Concealment Magic. Karma and Sugino were left alone.
"Come on guys, let's take these girls back to our hideout," one of the thugs said while looking at Nagisa, Kayano and Kanzaki. Nagisa surprisingly woke up right after the thug said that.
"I'm not a girl!" Nagisa squealed as one of the thugs started choking him, rendering him unconscious again.
"Come on guys, before one of the brats wake up again!"
"Well done boss!"
And the thugs set off, reaching the rooftops and clumsily jumping their way across the vast amount of rooftops. What they didn't know was that Nagisa pretended to get knocked out and had slipped out just as the thugs started to make their way across the rooftops. Nagisa quickly scribbled down a note before chasing after the thugs in the evening sunset.
-Battle Complete!-
(Rewards: Party Members- Kayano K, Kanzaki Y, Nagisa S [Escaped])
"I really am going insane," Nagisa said, looking at the message above him, turning pale at the sight. Nagisa then started dashing off again, catching up with his friends' captors.
Meanwhile...
"Come on you two!" Karma said, unshaken by the events that had happened. "If we want to catch up with Nagisa, we're going to have to get to it now!"
"Alright, alright," Sugino said, dusting off the dust that had settled on him.
Before they knew it, they started following the almost invisible blue tuft of hair.
NIGHTTIME, THUGS HIDEOUT
"What should we do to the girls boss," a hidden thug asked someone.
"THIS!" said a flying red comet as it launched itself against the thug.
"HELP!"
A roar was heard from everywhere else in the hideout as they tried to find the cause of the need of backup.
"Find the little rat!" a thug said. "And KILL HIM!"
The thugs began searching for the intruder, but were slowly taken out, one by one.
"Hey guys," a redhead said to the band of confused thugs. "Long time no see! You guys suck at fighting!"
"You're that kid from before!" "Yeah!" "GET HIM!"
A small laughter was heard from a dark corner.
"Nufufufufu, you think you could hurt my students without me knowing?" a threatening voice asked.
"Korosensei!" Everyone yelled.
"IF you want to fight them, fight me!"
Korosensei appeared in the dim light of the hideout with a few of the thugs tied up to poles around him. "So? Are you going to fight me?"
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
All of the thugs started scrambling to get to the exit. Some even jumped out of the oddly convenient large windows.
"Nufufufufu, I could never hurt them, I technically promised not to harm anyone,"
"Korosensei!" everyone yelled. Even Kayano and Kanzaki who had been concealing themselves during the whole ordeal, when freed by Nagisa and Sugino, came up to Korosensei and hugged him.
"Ahhh, so this is the joy of teaching!" Korosensei said, pink faced from the happiness of his students. "I could see why she did this job..."
