Chapter 9
Previously
"You're hiding something…." Karma step towards his tamer who step back until he back the bluennette at the wall.
"Wha—?!" Nagisa started before he got cut off when Karma slammed his hands down beside Nagisa's head.
"Ne~ Nagisa-kun…" Karma titled his head to the side while smirking, this made Nagisa eyes to widen more as he didn't recognize the expression on his friend, it was the same on what he saw at the train station when his friend came back from his suspension and during their trip in kyoto but this time it was darker, and Nagisa is scared of it.
"What are you hiding?" Nagisa gulped before opening his mouth.
"My head hurts." He answered. "The one where I was hit during our field trip at Kyoto, it's starting to hurt me… that's why I was leaning at the wall…" Karma hummed at the answer, before asking once again.
"And the limping?" Nagisa open his mouth before closing it and opening again before closing. This continued for a more moments before Karma's patience run out and he slam his hands down beside Nagisa's head to snap him out of his stance and growled darkly.
"Nagisa-kun!" And Nagisa immediately answered.
"I sprained my ankle!" Karma paused waiting for him to add something. "My head was starting to hurt so much when I left my home and it was too much for me to handle that I decided to rest at the park I passed by earlier…" Nagisa then licked his lips. "I rested there for a few minutes and when I can handle the pain I left the park… only to feel it again that I tripped because of it…"
"There are times where we saw him sleeping during breaks and whenever he sleep his eyebrows are always furrowed together and well… it was like he's having a nightmare." Sugino then began to walk ahead, while Karma stood still before following after him.
'Nightmares while sleeping in school?' he thought before looking at Nagisa. "Did something happen to you when I stop spending some time with you?"
'Don't worry, my blue pearl… I'll be by your side everytime… even though I'm scared of what you have… I'll be by your side…for you are mine…' It didn't took long for Karma to arrive at their destination, which made him immediately head towards the infirmary.
"Sumimasen…" I started and turned to look at my capturer, who glance at me and froze. "Hanashite kudasai…" I glared at him, smiling while releasing my blood lust, a blood lust focused towards him and him alone. I made sure that Karma wouldn't feel it though. The guy immediately let go and run away, his other friends following suit. I watch their running backs before slumping down to the ground. The blood lust I release was too much for me to handle but at least it work.
"Nagisa-kun!" Karma shouted worriedly running over me while my cat is now by my side and lick the side of my face.
"I'm fine…" I told Karma-neko as he continue to lick my face. Karma-kun was then kneeling beside me and grab my face and look for any signs of injury, but other than the darkening bruise around my neck where I was grab at, he found none. Karma look at the ground guiltily but I merely smiled at him and hugged him.
"Thank you for defending me." I mumbled and let him go before standing up, hissing when I felt the pain from my sprain ankle. Karma gently grab it while I sat down on the ground and let him look at it.
"It seems to be getting worse." He told and then Karma-neko nuzzled at my side.
"It's okay Red." I stated and notice Karma looking at the cat and then at me with a raised eyebrow. I laugh nervously before explaining why my cat is here.
"Nagisa-chan, are you going home?" The man asked and Nagisa nodded. "Then let's go home together." He added and look to his side, which made them look as well and saw a black car not far ahead from them. Before Nagisa could agree or walk towards the man, Karma stood in front of him and glared.
"Who are you?" The red head growled out, which made Nagisa to snap his attention towards him and for the man to narrow his eyes before giving him a fake smile.
"I apologize." He said bowing his head for a bit. "My name is Kyle… Kyle Rondart… or is it Rondart Kyle?" He questioned, looking at Nagisa who look at the ground.
"Rondart Kyle." The bluennette answered, while Kyle smiled at him, before looking at Karma.
"Sorry about that. As you can see I'm not born Japanese. My father is French and it's my mother who's the Japanese." Karma raised an eyebrow and glance at Nagisa before looking back at Kyle.
"And what are you to Nagisa?"
"Oh! Why I'm merely his uncle. Nagisa's grandmother is my mother's older sister, which made me Hiromi's cousin and Nagisa's uncle~" The man explained rather cheerfully, Karma blink and guessed that Hiromi is the name of Nagisa's mother, who he only saw once but didn't get her name, and what the man said made sense. But there's something off about this man and Karma need to know what.
"Heh~" The red head smirked. "And what are you doing here?"
"Karma-kun." Nagisa whispered. Kyle glance at him with glinting eyes before looking back at the Class 3-E's delinquent.
"I'm a scientist, also a doctor, but I mostly work as a scientist you see~ and I got transfer here so I asked Hiromi if I can stay with them and she agreed so here I am~". Karma was still doubting the man in front of them but then Nagisa step forward and headed to his uncle.
"Then we better get going." He stated and look at Karma smiling. "See you tomorrow." Nagisa waved, which made Karma to wave as well while Kyle walk ahead towards his car and started its engine. Nagisa sat down at the passenger seat and wave again at Karma, who smirked at him, then the car left. Karma watch as the distance between him and his tamer grew. He also couldn't help but feel that something bad will happen.
"Nagisa-kun~" Karma started running towards Nagisa, who stop and look at him, the flowers are in his bag. "Yay~ you're not ignoring me anymore~" He cheered, while Nagisa smiled.
"Eh~? Could it be that you can't stand it when Nagisa's not paying attention at you, Karma~?" Nakamura, who was a few steps in front of Nagisa, smirked. Karma blink and saw Sugino, Kayano beside her as well, before tilting his head to the side and smirked.
"Of course~ I need a daily dose of Nagisa-kun's attention~" Karma teased, Nakamura snickered, while Sugino and Kayano merely sighed, pitying Nagisa for being their target. Speaking of Nagisa…
"Arree…" Kayano started, looking around but there was no longer signed of the bluennette. "Where is Nagisa-kun anyway?" She finished, Karma paused and look around as well.
"He was here a while ago…" Sugino mumbled, Nakamura also look around before looking at Karma asking.
"Did you notice when he left?" She asked, Karma shake his head and narrowed his eyes.
'Why did he left without telling us?' he thought. What they didn't know was that Nagisa was merely hiding at the tree not far from them, lost in thought. It seems that he had another conversation with Kaa-san… a conversation he couldn't win.
'He's making fun of you again! Stay away from him!'
'But… Karma-kun cares—'
'He doesn't care for you! Distance yourself from him! He doesn't need to know how selfish you are! How damaged you are! You are nothing but a burdened! You are so useless! You don't deserve their kindness! Once they will found out about your scars and on what he's been doing at you they will leave you! And you will be nothing but a broken doll! You will be heartbroken again! Karma will leave you again! Listen to me and STAY AWAY FROM HIM! FROM THEM!'
"You're putting quite a fight, little snake. It was a good thing that I can control your mind and thoughts as well as hear them through the chip I put in you…" He then sighed happily as he leaned over to the side and grab a test tube that is half filled with a green liquid. At the bottom of the test tube is a small, small, small chip.
"I wonder… what if a put more chip… can I control your movements?" he then chuckled darkly. "No… I rather not repeat what happen." He then put the test tube back and stood up and look around his room, at his wall were pictures of Nagisa that his mother took of him, dressed up as a girl.
"Such a beautiful lady you will be…" He mumbled and stretched his body. "Time to make the very thing that I promise to Hiromi~" he cheered before stopping. He look at the wall beside him, where a huge picture of Nagisa is found. Out of all the pictures that's been pasted at the wall, it was the most beautiful of them all. It was taken during a festival. Nagisa wearing a female kimono and his hair tied up into a beautiful bun with a flower hairpin to lock it. He also had a slight make up, but other than that, everything is natural.
"Such beautiful little snake…" he mumbled and left the room. "Such beautiful flower…"
"No means no…" Karma growled out, hugging Nagisa tightly from the back.
"But this is your plan Karma-kun." Koro-sensei answered, the red haired boy glared at him.
"I did, but no one told me that you would use my tamer for this…" He growled, Nagisa sighed and look at their teachers as if asking for their help. Koro-sensei rubbed his head not knowing how to help the bluennette while their P.E teacher suggested a possible solution.
"How about letting Nagisa in charge for relaying information, Sugino and Kayano for creating distraction? After all Nagisa is the informant of the class from the very beginning." Karasuma said, Karma's eyes glinted in approval.
"That's fine~" he hummed, finally letting Nagisa go, who sighed in relief.
Nagisa walk towards his school building, slowly trekking up the mountains. He sighed and rub his eyes sleepily.
"Didn't get enough sleep, Shiota-kun?" Nagisa froze, before looking to the side and saw the chairman walking towards him and away from the forest line.
"Board Chairman." Nagisa mumbled, while Gakuho smirk at him.
"You know… your uncle is pretty convincing." He started and grinned when Nagisa flinched. "Keeps on telling me that you're clever and that you never cheated…" He then walks around Nagisa who looks down at the ground.
"How did you know about my uncle?" Nagisa asked, Gakuho shrugs.
"Old classmates, together with the person you called K-sensei." At that Nagisa froze while the board chairman continued speaking as if he didn't notice the bluennette's condition. "Now when I talked to them, they told me interesting stuff." He then grinned at Nagisa.
"Let's make a deal." He started which made Nagisa to look at him shock. "If you passed all your exams and made it to the top 50 at the end of the school year. I might confess to the authorities about your… condition at home." Getting braver, Nagisa glance at him.
"What's the catch with that? You wouldn't turn them over without a catch." He mumbled, Gakuho laugh creepily.
"Your mother is a psycho and force you to wear dresses, abuse if you disagreed. While this K-sensei is doing an—"
"Don't say it!" Nagisa shouted, while the board chairman look at him.
"Sensitive on that topic I see." He grinned before continuing. "While doing that. So he told me the benefits of it, and I may say… I'm quite interested… and I'm already thinking of things that I can use it for."
"In other words, you want custody over me when my mom is in prison, together with K-sensei, because of what they said?" Nagisa summarized and sighed upon seeing Gakuho smirked.
"Clever… you really are observant." He stated before walking down the mountain.
"You're not waiting for my answer?" Nagisa asked, turning to look at the chairman.
"I already know the answer. After all," Gakuho look over his shoulder. "All you wanted is to be saved and be free from your cell."
"How did you…" Nagisa trailed off before looking at the ground and began to walk up the mountains.
"I was right." Gakuho mumbled and continue his journey to head to the main building. "I'm excited to have you as a child, Shiota Nagisa."
"Nagisa-kun~" He called out as he jumped down, Nagisa seems to flinch and look at him with wide eyes, before slowly stepping backwards and turned around. Karma's eyes glowed as he saw this action and walk faster to catch up with his tamer, his bottled up emotion from yesterday leaking out.
"Ne, Nagisa-kun..." Karma called out as he went towards Nagisa who stopped walking down the trail heading towards the bottom of the mountain.
"H-hai?" Nagisa stuttered. Karma smirked at him as he continued heading towards his tamer.
"Why are you spending so much time with Sugino and Kayano?" Karma asked, Nagisa smiled at him.
"What are you talking about? I'm not… well…" He started but before he could continue Karma cut him off.
"Are you avoiding me?" Nagisa froze at that before looking at Karma more fearfully.
'Did he saw right through me?'
"Every time I asked to go home together, or something just to spend some alone time with you, you always had excuses or your already with someone else, like Sugino and Kayano…" Karma's eyes then glinted as he step towards Nagisa until the tamer of the 3-E demon's back hit the tree.
"Ne..." Eyes glinting darkly and Nagisa's eyes widen upon seeing the dark expression he saw two days ago. "Answer me Nagisa-kun... are you avoiding me?"
"N-no..." Nagisa lied, biting his lip. "No I'm not… I just... thought that you want to be alone... so I never bothered to ask you, like that time during our first year… you rejected some of my invitations to spend some time together and well… I thought you still wanted to be alone sometimes..." Nagisa laugh nervously, while Karma blink the dark expression disappeared right after the bluennettes statement.
"But I asked you every time remember?" Golden red eyes suddenly glinted darkly. "I never let you out of my site since Kyoto." Nagisa gulped and answered.
"But remember that time when I left with Sugino, Kayano and Nakamura? I almost tried to ask you then but… I thought you wanted to be alone because you were so deep in thoughts that you didn't notice that I left…" Laughing nervously, Nagisa internally sighed in relief when the dark expression left.
"I guess... your right..." Karma then smiled. "Sorry about that Nagisa-kun~~" he then leaned away from Nagisa and began to walk up the trail.
"Let's just go class~ and let's talk about the sequel of Sonic Ninja~ I have an updated version of their magazine~" Karma suggested as he look back at Nagisa, who smiled and nodded.
"U-unn... let's!" He then run after Karma, who made sure to walk beside him.
'What was that?' Nagisa thought, before flinching when he heard 'kaa-san's' voice again.
'Nagisa-chan~ don't forget to distance yourself from him~'
'But Karma's so scary earlier when I tried to do so...'
'STUPID GIRL! DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID! DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM HIM! HE'S NOTHING! HE'S JUST USING YOU! THAT EXPRESSION YOU EARLIER WAS SOMETHING HE USED SO THAT HE CAN CONTROL YOU! HE'S USING YOU AS AN OUTLET FOR HIS FRUSTRATIONS! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE FOUGHT?! HUH?! DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM HIM!' Nagisa's thought were going to a darker turn when he heard Karma shouted.
"Nagisa-kun!" At that Nagisa blink and saw Karma looking at him, concerned.
"H-hai?" he asked, Karma then chuckled.
"What's in your mind~?" he asked, while Nagisa blushed as Karma leaned closer to his face.
"So-sonic ninja!" Nagisa blurt out while Karma blink.
"Oh yeah, you're always deep in thought when you think about that movie... then..." After that the two of them began to talk as they headed towards their classroom with Nagisa playing his wristband, trying to stop himself from wincing in pain, he made another cut on his thigh and well… it also happen that K-sensei did it to him again, and now, glancing up at Karma, he gulped it was a close call for Nagisa, Karma almost found out about him avoiding the red head, but he manage to avoid it. But how much longer can he lie to Karma when Karma seems to know something is up, from the very moment his dark side began to appear...
After class
The E-class students saw their teacher in high spirit while reading a magazine. Isogai smiled before bringing his gun out and pointed it at their target.
"You're certainly in a good mood, Koro-sensei. Do you have something planned after school?" The class rep asked, firing his gun at their teacher who dodge it by sliding down.
"Yep." Their teacher answered. "I'm going to Hawaii to see a movie. It was only released it America a short while ago. So I'm looking forward to it." Nakamura, together with Maehara and Kataoka, who are standing behind Isogai, look at their teacher.
"No way. That not fair, sensei." Nakamura stated.
"Nurufufufu." Said teacher laughs. "Mach 20 speed is utterly perfect for times like these." He then showed them the magazine cover.
"Sonic Ninja?" Isogai asked, which of course caught the attention of two students sitting at the far side of the class.
"Oooh, it's that superhero flick." Maehara stated as they crowded around their teacher. "Tell us what you thought about it tomorrow." At the far side of the classroom, sat Nagisa and Karma. The former holding the same magazine their target is holding.
"...!" Both he and Karma look at the front before looking at each other, nodding. Half an hour later their teacher went out of the classroom, both Nagisa and Karma followed.
"Well, then. It's about time I got going." Koro-sensei stated, bending his tentacles. But before he could take off, he was stopped by one of his students.
"Koro-sensei, please take us with you." He hums, turning around to see Nagisa and Karma heading towards him. The former being slightly flustered while the latter is walking behind him.
"We were just talking about wanting to see that movie." Nagisa finished, showing tako the magazine Karma brought for them to read.
"Oh? You like that sort of thing?" Koro-sensei asked, looking at Nagisa, who had a small blush on his face and smiled happily.
"I love it! I've been waiting forever for the sequel to come out." Nagisa answered.
"You liking superhero movies is rather unexpected, Karma-kun." Their target stated looking at the red haired boy, who was scratching his head, as if embarrassed.
"I like the director. It's unusual for him to work on a film based in American comics." Karma answered but he added in his mind. 'It's also the reason why I have my tamer beside me.'
"I would like to go as well, Nagisa-san." Said student blink before looking down and brought his phone out, upon seeing Ritsu on his phone holding a sign 'Excuse the intrusion.', he couldn't help but sweat bullets.
"Ritsu… why are you in my phone?" He shakily asked.
"This is to facilitate sharing information with everyone." Ritsu explained saluting at Nagisa. "I have downloaded my terminal into everyone's cell phones. Please call me 'mobile Ritsu'." She finished winking at the bluenette, who couldn't help but thought.
'Basically anything goes for her, too.'
"I would like to experience Koro-sensei's Mach-speed take off once more. The camera image might become assassination reference material." She added, with an arrow on her forward and gestured at Nagisa's front camera.
"Very well." Koro-sensei stated, suddenly had a dark expression. "I will let you all… experience the movie, as well as my speed." He stated and then the next thing Nagisa, Karma and Ritsu knew is that they are inside their teacher's clothes with their heads out and Ritsu in front of Nagisa's chest.
"…" Nagisa was sweating bullets and paling while Karma had a slight sweat on the side of his face.
"…Karma-kun, I didn't put much thought into it when I asked, but aren't we kind doing something unbelievable?" Nagisa shakily asked.
"Guess so~" Karma sang out. "We didn't think as far as our own safety."
"Don't worry. I'll accelerate slowly to prevent it from taxing your bodies!" And then they were off with Nagisa and Karma shouting.
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
"S-so fast!" Nagisa shouted as they look at the view that their teacher always see. Then Karma began to laugh.
"Ahahaha! Awesome I can already see the Pacific Ocean!" he pointed out, just then Nagisa look up and blink.
"Huh? I don't really feel or hear the wind, Koro-sensei. Your head is repelling almost all of it." He stated while Koro-sensei look at him amaze and proudly.
"That's a good eye you have, Nagisa-kun. The secret lies in sensei's skin." He stated pointing at his head.
"My head is usually soft, but it solidifies under high pressure. As such, I won't even succumb to mach-speed wind pressure. Flying at supersonic speeds involves advanced laws of physics that you don't know yet, but" Koro-sensei then showed them a beaker, water and potato starch which caught their attention. "There is something much more familiar to you that works off a principle similar to sensei's skin." With his other tentacle Koro-sensei poured the water at the beaker followed by the potato starch while stating.
"Let's have a little lesson on that 'Dilitancy phenomenon.' First, we'll mix potato starch with water…" Nagisa sweat drop.
'He's started teaching us in mid-flight!' he thought though he was absorbed by the lesson that he didn't heard Ritsu and Karma speaking to each other.
"… Aren't you going to assassinate him, Karma-kun?" She asked. "Right now, when you are such in close contact, would appear to be you chance to do so…" Karma smirked at her statement.
"Don't talk nonsense, Ritsu. Even if I were able to kill him now, we'd still drop into the Pacific Ocean at Mach Speed. We are completely at his mercy. All we can do is sit back and listen to his lesson." Karma then glance at Nagisa before looking at Ritsu.
"Also… I'm not willing to let my tamer get hurt." He smirked at her, while she smiled in understanding. Unknown to her and Koro-sensei, was that Karma was searching for Nagisa's hand and when he did found it, he grabs it, linking their fingers together. Nagisa blink and glance at him before looking back at the lesson Koro-sensei gave them mid-flight. It didn't take them long, they finally arrived at Hawaii entertainment center
"… and there you have it." Koro-sensei stated, landing at the roof softly while removing Nagisa and Karma, who immediately let go of Nagisa's hand, from his clothes. "The latest sort of bulletproof vests also make use of this technology." He then walk away fixing his clothes, while Nagisa and Karma tried to balance at the roof.
"Now you've learned something new. And the movie theater is just below us." Koro-sensei stated, which made Karma and Nagisa look at each other, finally realizing that they've arrived.
"…!" Nagisa then look around and sweat drop. '…. While he was giving us a quick lesson, we travelled all the way to Hawaii!' he thought and feeling the breeze, unknown to him, Karma was watching his every movement like a hawk and watch as Nagisa lift his hand and remove his hair tair. Karma watched in awe as Nagisa became an angel in his eyes, his hair flowing with the wind and the sunset as the background. He immediately took some pictures and used the image he got as a wallpaper before frowning and look over his shoulder.
"Nurufufufu…" Koro-sensei giggled, already in his disguise before dodging when Karma tried to kill him. Nagisa sweat drop at them, while smiling. After a while they all went down and went to the counter for their tickets. Koro-sensei paid for his own, while Karma paid both for him and Nagisa who merely sighed in defeat, he didn't even had the chance to take his wallet out. They then entered their assigned theater room, suddenly Karma commented.
"Woah, its freezing!"
"The air conditioning's on way too high, isn't it?!" Nagisa asked, rubbing both of his arms with his hands. Karma did the same but only on his right arm. When they sat down, Koro-sensei pulled out some blanket form his clothes.
"In Hawaii, they turn the air conditioning up a fair amount indoors. All of you, please properly equip yourself against the cold. Here you go." The tako stated, reaching a pink blanket with his face shaped as a heart printed on it towards Karma, who blink and look at it weirdly before draping it over Nagisa's shoulder, who sat on his left. Nagisa give him a grateful glance before looking back at the screen while the red head accepted another blanket from their teacher.
"How exciting!" Ritsu clapped her hands, already dressed in warm clothes. "I've never been on a movie theater before" She finished, Nagisa fixed the blanket Karma draped around his shoulder, while said red head leaned his elbow on the left side of his chair and leaned his cheek at his fisted hand.
"But…" Nagisa stated which made Koro-sensei look at him. "This is America, so there won't be any Japanese subtitles, right? I wonder if we'll be able to understand the plot…" Karma narrowed his eyes at his tamer low self-esteem while Koro-sensei told him.
"Don't worry about it. You two are doing very well in English. Hasn't Irina-sensei been drilling it into you heads?" He asked. But then he reach out two of his tentacles which had mouths at them towards his students.
"Also, put sense's tentacle in your ear."
"?" Nagisa look at it as he and Karma grabs it before putting it on his left ear, while Karma look at it weirdly before doing the same.
"It will explain any vocabulary used that you haven't learned yet. Let's enjoy the film while doing out best to follow the dialogue." When both Nagisa and Karma leaned back at their seat, they blink when they saw a tray of soda and popcorn in front of them.
"Here have some soda and popcorn." Nagisa grabs one popcorn and soda before giving it to Karma and grabs his own pair of food and put the soda the arm chair while the whole place began to darken.
'Oh man.' He thought leaning back, smiling genuinely with his eyes close and a small blush on his cheek. 'This is making me really happy…!'
As the movie continues, Nagisa was fidgeting in his seat, absorb by the movie. Once in a while Karma would glance at him and smirk upon seeing him getting all work up.
"… G… no, they're definitely H." Upon hearing that both Karma and Nagisa looked at their teacher sweat dropping upon seeing him turned pink and focused only on the heroine. Nagisa sighed in defeat when he realized that while Karma snickered and before they knew it, the movies was finish. They all went out together with the other movie goers. When they were out of the theaters Nagisa stretch his arms up and sighed before tying his hair into twin tails. Karma as usual watched his every movements before looking around for their teacher. Upon hearing a sob behind them, Nagisa and Karma turn around and sweat drop upon seeing their teacher cry.
"Koro-sensei…" Nagisa sighed out before looking to the side and smiled widely. "Sugoi…" he mumbled before running towards the sea that was near the theaters.
"Nagisa-kun?" Karma called out and followed after him and merely sighed in relief when he saw Nagisa standing near the shore. He then look at the sea, wondering why his tamer was so amaze, and saw the reflection of their crescent moon and stars.
"Karma-kun." Koro-sensei called out which made the red head to look at him. "Is this the first time Nagisa-kun's out of country experience?" The tako asked, Karma blink at the sudden question before looking back at Nagisa and blinked when he saw him playing at the waters. His pants rolled up to his knees, and the shoes and socks at the sand where the water won't reach.
"'Dunno," he answered. "As far as I know, the only city he want aside from ours is Kyoto." Koro-sensei hummed, Karma blinked before smirking and immediately went towards his tamer, taking his shoes and sock off, which landed beside Nagisa's.
"Nyuuk!" Koro-sensei yelped as he watch Karma splashes some water towards Nagisa, who block it with his arms giggling before doing the same to the red head. Koro-sensei relax watching them play as if they were kids. Koro-sensei smiled at that, before heading towards them.
"Hai~ hai~ enough of that~ I don't want you to catch a cold because you played in the water and suddenly went home with a ride of Mach 20 speed right after~" Karma and Nagisa stopped panting slightly, before doing what their teacher said. Koro-sensei place a mat beside their shoes and sock, gesturing for them to sit down on it and giving them a towel once they did. Nagisa smiled at him in gratitude before wiping his feet from the water and sand, Karma did the same before they both wore their shoes and shock.
"That's was fun~" Ritsu suddenly stated which made them all look at Nagisa's chest where she was located the whole time. "Karma-kun and Nagisa-san playing like that and I feel like I'm also there~" Nagisa smiled before standing up and Karma sighed before doing the same.
"Then let's play with the others next time?" Nagisa suggested looking at their teacher, who suddenly had a thoughtful expression.
"We shall see~" Koro-sensei sang out before grabbing his students and put them inside his clothes before taking off. And this time, the moment their bodies are hidden from the view, Karma didn't hesitate to grab Nagisa's hand, tightly.
Few minutes later
"That was fun~" Nagisa stated after Koro-sensei free them from his clothes upon landing in front of their school building. "Now that it's reached this point, I've been drawn in and am really anxious for the next installment."
"You just commented that now, Nagisa-kun?" Karma smirked at him, which made Nagisa smiled at him. "But y'know, the last boss being the heroine's brother was pretty clichéd." Karma finished while Nagisa's mood then dampened and look blankly at Karma.
"Eh. Y-yeah…" He deadpanned.
"Through analysis of 1,000 Hollywood movies, I can make an accurate prediction of developments in the final film. Shall I do so?" Ritsu asked, looking up at Nagisa who gave her a defeated look.
"…No, that's okay. You're both such killjoys…" he stated just then they heard their teacher sobs which made them look at him sweating bullets.
"A brother and sister separated their whole lives! What a cruel fate!"
Koro-sensei's weakness #14
Hackneyed plot developments make him cry
"…on the other hand, what sort of adult would have that reaction." Karma wondered.
"…he's been crying since we left Hawaii." Nagisa stated before realizing that it was getting late. Together both he and Karma went and grab their things inside the classroom, while their teacher continue to stay outside crying. When they had their things, Nagisa and Karma head out of the building.
"Thanks for today, Koro-sensei. Goodbye!" Nagisa stated while their teacher waved at them with his handkerchief while crying.
"Goodbye. It's dark out, so be careful." He advised before adding. "Please write up you impressions of the movie in English and hand it in by tomorrow."
"Ehhh? You're giving us homework on it…?" Nagisa asked
"You were able to go to Hawaii for free, so it's a cheap form of compensation." At that Nagisa smiled nervously at him before he and Karma left. On their way down the mountain path, Nagisa sighed heavily.
"Haah…" Of course this caught the devil of the E-class, who look at him.
"? What's up, Nagisa?" He asked, it may seem nonchalantly but inside he was worried because as far as he knew his tame never, ever sighed heavily.
"This is a first time for me." Nagisa stated. "Over the course of five hours, I went to Hawaii while taking a lesson, saw a movie, played with you at the sea and then came back here."
"…Yeaah, you've got that right~" Karma sang out while sighing in relief, mentally.
"On top of that, so as not to tax your bodies, he looked after you with the utmost care and attention." Ritsu said. "I was able to confirm the utilization of his tentacles in warding off wind pressure, dust, dirt, and the like."
"…The scenery today… is what Koro-sensei views all the time."
"…" Karma remained quite as his tamer suddenly look up.
"I have a feeling that the more we know about sensei, the more the meaning of his existence will fade from our minds." They then continue walking down, this time no conversation was exchange between them. Ristu left Nagisa's phone, as they finally arrived at the train station. When they ride the train both Nagisa and Karma was standing side by side, and a few stops later, the school delinquent suddenly felt a weight added to his shoulder which made him look and nearly smile upon seeing the blue haired student sleeping. When they were nearing their stop, Karma woke Nagisa up, who mumbled but complied and sleepily they both went out of the train, by the time they step out of the train station Nagisa was wide awake.
"Should I walk you home?" Karma asked, but Nagisa shakes his head.
"Don't worry I'll be fine." He smiled at him before turning around and left. Karma watch his back before sighing and headed to the direction of his home.
With Nagisa
Nagisa's POV
After separating from Karma, I went to the nearest convenience store and bought dinner for me and my cat. I don't know if mom is there or K-sensei is, but I rather not take the chances of her and him being home and didn't get dinner. When I arrived home however I sighed in relief upon seeing that no one was home. I look around and saw a note from my mom that she's going to work overnight. While there was no note from K-sensei so I began to tense and headed towards my room and open it slowly. I nearly sighed in relief upon seeing that no one was there, except from Karma, who was sleeping at my window sill. I immediately changed clothes and sat down at the bed.
"Karma." I called out, my cat open his eyes before meowing and headed towards me. I smiled and gave him his food at the floor while I eat mine. Once we were done I throw our container at the garbage can found at the corner of my room before grabbing my cat and patted his body while humming. After a while I decided to do my homework, before going to sleep. Though, mid-way when I was writing my essay my door open and I turn to look at it, blinking when I saw K-sensei.
"Be alert tomorrow." He stated, and I tilted my head in confusion, but he didn't elaborate and close my door. I blink multiples time when my door close before hearing my phone beep, which means I receive a message. I opened it and saw that it was Karasuma-sensei texting me about a transfer student joining us tomorrow. I merely blink at it before continuing my homework.
With Karma
Karma's POV
I laid down on my bed, reading the message our P.E teacher send us, before ignoring it and look at my wallpaper. I then went to my gallery where I had plenty of pictures of my tamer, in fact almost all of my gallery contains a picture of him and him alone. I don't know what's wrong with me, but ever since we met I always take a picture of him, unknowing to him or whether I'm teasing him. It's like I have an obsession towards him, heck when I tried to distance myself from him, I was frowning at the lack of images of him, that I immediately took plenty of photos when we started our class as 3-E students. I was skimming over his photo that I had when I suddenly saw a stolen picture of him and Sugino laughing. I immediately frowned, my eyes were seeing red and before I knew it I was already editing the photo and cropping Sugino's face. I did this to the rest of the photos whenever it was my tamer with someone else. I suddenly stop at the 20th photo where it was both my tamer and Nakamura, frowning.
'What is wrong with me?' I thought before throwing my phone to side and glared at the ceiling before sighing.
"I'm probably tired." I mumbled before turning to my side and grab my phone to see the image I took earlier at the Hawaii.
"Good night Nagisa." I mumbled and then sleep claimed me.
The next day
"Karasuma-sensei has told all of you that there's a transfer student coming, right?" Our target asked us, right after roll call. I wasn't particularly interested at the topic of a new transfer student, I was more interested at my Nagisa, who keeps on playing with his bracelet. It looks like a knitted one, with a faded color red and two inches width.
"Nagisa-kun." I called out, receiving a hum in response. "Who gave you that?" I asked, growling inwardly at the thought that someone else gave his tamer a gift. Nagisa giggled as if knowing that he's growling inwardly.
"I knitted it myself." Nagisa answered, glancing at me. "Mom wanted me to learn on how to knit." He finished, what I didn't know however was that the reason why Nagisa's mom wanted him to learn on how to knit was because his mother wanted him to learn more about being a girl, and it seems knitting is a part of her 'teachings'.
"I didn't know you, knew on how to knit." I stated, he smiled sadly at me, which made me frown.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about." He whispered. I blinked, surprise and confuse.
"I was an overwhelmingly inferior assassin compared to him." I heard Ritsu stated, which made me look at her. I glance around and realized that they were all looking nervous including our target. I glance at my tamer and saw him merely looking at the window as if this didn't concern him at all.
"Nagisa-kun." I called out again and he looks at me.
"Hai?" He asked tilting his head a bit to the side.
"Aren't you worried about our new classmate? Even Ritsu was admitting that this guy is stronger than her." I asked and he merely smiled at me.
"Even so." He then look at our spooked teacher. "Koro-sensei will always manage to avoid getting killed, even when cornered." He answered me before looking back at the window. I blink wondering why my tamer is acting like this when suddenly the door open, which made all of us look at it and saw white smoke around the hallway, just then a man, wearing white clothing from top to bottom walk inside.
'!?'
As if suddenly noticing the attention, he lifted his hand and open his palm.
Poof!
A pigeon then appeared which shocked and spooked my classmates that they almost jump in fright. I glance at my tamer and saw him looking at the man with wide eyes, which made me look back at the man.
"Sorry, I must have frightened you. I, however, am not the transfer student." The man told us and suddenly he was all sparkly and happy(?). "I am his guardian…. Well, I'm dressed entirely in white, so just call me 'Shiro'." He told us, and I narrowed my eyes at him before looking back at Nagisa, who looks at me with wide, nervous and startled eyes.
"That startled me." He mumbled and I smirked.
"Well, if someone suddenly comes in wearing white clothes and does a slight of hand, it's pretty startling." I told him and he sighed.
"Yeah. Anyone but Koro-sensei would be…" it was then that we notice our teacher in his liquid form at the very top and corner of the room.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO SCARED, KORO-SENSEI!"
"AND ENOUGH TO USE YOUR SECRET LIQUEFICATION SKILL!" My classmates shouted, while my eyes glinted mischievously as my tamer sighed and write another weakness of his.
"W-well…. What Ritsu-san said was frightening, so…" I nearly burst out laughing as he said that while sweating bullets.
Koro-sensei's Weakness #15
He gets taken in by rumors
Our target then back to his normal form and began to talk to the guardian of the new transfer student. As they talk to one another, with Shiro giving the octopus a yokan, I notice that Karasuma was eyeing the man suspiciously and quietly. I also saw him glancing at our P.E teacher then around the room, his eyes seems to linger at Kayano for a moment though before his sight landed at me and my tamer. I narrowed my eyes upon seeing him a eyeing Nagisa a lot longer than Kayano, which made me nearly to growl and stand up, if it wasn't for Nagisa, who grabs my shoulder and have a confuse expression on his face.
"….?"
"Is something wrong?" Koro-sensei asked, when he realize that Shiro was staring at us. I ignored his answer though and look at my tamer, who was looking at me.
"You okay?" I asked and he nodded, before letting go of my shoulder.
"Do you know him somehow? He was looking at you quite longer than the rest of us." I told him. But he merely shakes his head.
"I don't know. I never knew someone wearing like that before and his voice doesn't sound so familiar." He answered, I was about to talk to him more when suddenly the back of the room was suddenly destroyed and our new student came in.
'USE THE DAMN DOOR!' My classmates expression seems to shout.
"I… am victorious. I have proven myself to be strong than this classrooms walls. That alone is enough…. That alone is enough…." Was the first thing he said, judging by the reaction of my classmates, they were sweating bullets.
'Another pain in the ass has turned up!'
'Koro-sensei's reaction is troublesome, too!'
'He's not smiling or being serious…'
'What the heck is with that half-assed face!'
'Man, this is really interesting.' I snickered inwardly seeing the faces of my classmates and teacher.
"That's weird." I heard Nagisa mumbled, which made me look at him.
"This is Horibe Itona. Please call him by name." I heard Shiro stated, but I was looking at my tamer that I ignored the rest of his statement.
"It's raining outside but he's not wet, he's also not carrying anything as well." I frowned at that before smiling.
"For the time being, please allow me to watch over him." I look at Shiro as he finished his statement. From the corner of my eye, I saw Nagisa getting nervously as he put his hands together and between his legs.
"A guardian clad in white and a transfer student whose words make no sense. They've probably had more than their fair share of problems." He stated, before looking at me and blink when he saw me looking at Itona.
"Hey, Itona-kun, it's kinda been bugging me, well me and Nagisa, but you weren't carrying anything when you came in just now, right? So why aren't you even the slightest bit wet… when it's pouring outside?" I asked, I heard out informant whispered my name harshly.
"Karma!"
"…" Itona remained silent before he glance around the room and stood up before heading towards me.
"…You are probably the strongest one in this class." He stated, reaching his hand out before rubbing my head. "But don't worry. You're weaker than me, so… I won't kill you." He then lifted his hand away from me as he walks towards the front.
"….!"
'What was that all about?' I thought as I touched my head, before grabbing Nagisa's hand which made him give a confuse sound before putting it on my hand, replacing the unwanted touch with his.
"I think I only want to kill those who might be stronger than me." Itona stated as he continue walking, while Nagisa continue to pat my head.
"In this classroom, that means only you Koro-sensei." He pointed at our teacher who was eating the yokan without even removing the wrappers.
"Does that talk of 'strong' and 'weak' refer to fighting, Itona-kun?" Koro-sensei asked. "In a contest of strength, you wouldn't even be able to stand in the same dimension as me, though."
"I can." Suddenly, Itona had the same food Koro-sensei had. "Because we are brothers related by blood."
"?!" All of us, including me, were looking at them with wide eyes, sweating.
"BR…"
"BR…"
"BR…"
"BR…"
"BROTHERS?!"
"Whoever loses will die, brother."
Third Person POV
Everyone couldn't believe at the sudden revelation, are they even serious?
"As we are siblings, there is no need for petty tricks. Nii-san, I will kill you and validate my strength. The time will be after school. We'll have a match in this classroom." Itona declared before turning around and headed to the wall he destroyed.
"Today will be you final class. Say your farewells to them now." And then he left, leaving them shock and silent.
"…"

"WAIT A SECOND SENSEI, WHAT DOES HE MEAN HE'S YOUR BROTHER?!" Yada shouted. Their teacher was all flustered denying the announcement.
"N…NO. NO. DEFINITELY NOT!"
"TO START WIH HUMANS AND OCTOCPUSES ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!" Mimura added, his eyes bulging out.
"Geez, I don't know a thing about any of this! I was born and raised an only child!" At that Koro-sensei was flustered, though Nagisa couldn't but be confuse when their target said that he was the only child.
'Does that mean there were other octopus like him?' He thought, sweat dropping.
"If I'd pestered my parents about 'wanting a younger brother'…. Then things would have gotten awkward!" He shouted as they all imagine a young Koro-sense with parents.
'Do you actually have parents in the first place?!' They shouted inwardly, before Nagisa look around and tugs Karma's sleeve. Said red head, who didn't realize that his tamer finally stop patting his head, look at him.
"Where's Shiro?" Nagisa's asked, Karma's eyes widen a bit before looking around and realize that Shiro was no longer there. Karma frowned before looking at his tamer, who was looking at him. Unknown to them, was that the man they were looking for is sitting at the faculty office, being watched by Irina and Karasuma.
"I apologize for surprising you, Karasuma-sensei. That boy is highly-classified secret after all." Shiro stated looking at the P.E and English teachers.
"It's fully understandable for you, who are on-site, to be uninformed. That being said allow me to assure you. That boy is certainly Koro-sensei's younger brother. That much… will become evident to everyone after school."
Back at the classroom
Lunch break
Itona is seen eating… sweet snacks at his chair, which is also full with snacks, while the E-Class watch him eat, sweat dropping.
"He's really packing those snacks in there." Maehara stated. Koro-sensei, who was eating at the teacher's desk was getting irritated.
"…. You're certainly comparing the two of us excessively even when our status as sibling in under suspicion. It's quite irritating." Koro-sensei told his students before taking out a magazine from a brown envelope that he was hiding in his desk's drawer.
"To improve my mood, I'll just take a look at the gravure book I bought today~ this right here suits an adult's tastes~" Koro-sensei said, blushing. When he look up though… Itona is holding the same magazine as him. The students who were watching them sweat drops even more before thinking.
'They're even the same in liking big boobs!'
"…I can suddenly see them in a more realistic light." Okajima stated, trembling. Nagisa, who sitting at his table, with a bitten sandwiches in his hand, look at the class pervert.
"Is… is that so, Okajima-kun?" he deadpanned, suddenly Okajima took his bag and brought out the same magazine their teacher and new classmate had.
"You bet!" Okajima shouted. "We're all brothers when it comes to liking big boobs!" he finished, Nagisa sweat drops.
'You three are brothers?!' He thought, while Karma, who was standing at the window behind Nagisa, hang his arm around the bluennette and gave Okajima a menacing smile as if asking.
'What are you showing to my tamer/Nagisa?' Okajima gulped before hiding the magazine back to his bag.
"If they really are brothers, then… why doesn't Koro-sensei know about it?" Kayano asked, eating her pudding while seating at Karma's table. Before Nagisa could hear Fuwa's answer, who was behind Kayano and suddenly had a thinking expression at the question, he tuned out and began to think heavily on what's been happening.
Nagisa's POV
Ever since Itona and that Shiro person arrived. I couldn't help but thought about K-sensei's warning to me last night. 'Be alert' he said. But are they really the people that I should be alert of? Do they know K-sensei? And just what is Koro-sensei? There's no way he's an octopus since birth… and… there's no way he's an alien… probably… I glance at Itona, who was also looking up, and upon realizing that I was looking at him as well, he look down at his magazine.
'If he says they're siblings… then there must be some connection to their history.' Nagisa thought glancing at their teacher and back at Itona. 'He might know about the past Koro-sensei has kept hidden from us. The assassin transfer student Horibi Itona. I wonder just what he intends to show us."
After class
Right after the bell rings, Shiro came in and told us to make a ring of desks and we complied.
"A ring of desks…?!" Irina-sensei asked, as she and Karasuma-sensei was standing behind us.
"Yeah. Just like in a real match. It's the first time I've seen someone set up an assassination this way." Karasuma-sensei stated, while we saw Shiro patting Itona's back.
"You must have had your fill of plain old assassinations, Koro-sensei. Let's settle on a single rule for this match." Shiro stated. "If you take even one step out of the ring, you'll be executed on the spot! How about it?" We were shock about the rule but…
"…What the heck. Who would follow a rule like that?" Sugino-kun, who was standing at my right asked. Karma who was standing at my left answered.
"…No, if he violates a rule that has been decided in front of everyone…. Then his credibility as a teacher will decrease. It would be surprisingly effective against Koro-sensei. His hands are tied."
"…Very well, let's go with that. However, Itona-kun causing harm to those watching will also mean defeat." Koro-sensei agreed, while Itona remained quiet.
"Well then, we'll begin on my signal." Shiro stated, lifting his hand.
"Assassination…" Everyone's nervous, I can see it in their wavelengths. Then the white clothes man bring his hand down. "…Start!"
And the next thing we saw… is Koro-sensei's arm is cut… and something that made us nervous and shock. Our eyes were all glued to the same spot. Sensei's lopped-off arm… wasn't what had our attention!
"…Impossible…" Sensei's muttered.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
At Itona's head… were…
"TENTACLES!"
"…!"
"… That explains it. His remaining dry in the rain despite being empty-handed was entirely due to those whirling tentacles." Karma muttered, I glance at him before looking back sharply at Koro-sensei, my mouth gaping as I saw his wavelengths.
"….ere…." I shuddered as the wavelengths were going fast, Koro-sensei…. Is furious…
"Karma-kun…" I whispered, I saw Karma glance at me and when he saw me shuddering, he wrap his arms around and asked.
"Nagisa-kun…?" he then look at our teacher, whose vein was showing while slowly, turning black.
"Where did you get those?! Those tentacles!"
"We have no obligation to tell you, Koro-sensei. However, with this you should understand. He has different parents and was raised differently, but… you and this boy are brothers." Shiro explained. "Still that is quite a frightening face you're making. Has this… brought to mind something unpleasant?" I blink when I saw Koro-sensei's wavelengths responding, he was a having a slight flashback.
"…It would seem that I need to ask you some questions, as well." Koro-sensei stated, his chopped arm finally regenerating.
"You won't be able to, seeing as you'll be dead." Shiro lift his arm and suddenly a light a beam went out, which seems to weaken Koro-sensei, but it also included me. I grunted looking away from the light, while Karma shielded me from the beam upon seeing me react to it.
"?!"
"…" I look at Shiro, over Karma's shoulder and saw him looking at us, more specifically me, before looking back at Koro-sensei.
"When exposed to this pressurized beam ta point-blank range, you cells's viscosity will increase and your entire body will instantly go rigid." He then made a thumbs down sign. "We know about every single one of you weaknesses."
"Die, brother." Itona stated. As he was lifted up by his tentacles before attacking while it may look like that Koro-sensei got hit, which shocked the students and their teachers, Terasaka merely told them to look up when they asked whether he was dead or not. When they did, they saw Koro-sensei hanging at the lights, panting and injured.
"Molting, hm… come to think of it, you did have such a trick at your disposal." Shiro stated, while Nagisa look at their teacher.
'Koro-sensei's hidden escape technique! To think he'd be forced to use it so quickly…!' The blue haired student thought, while Itona look up and attacked.
"Even so, Koro-sensei, we are well aware that your molting has a weakness, as well." Itona's guardian stated, while Koro-sensei dodge the silver haired student attack.
"Nyuuaa!"
"It consumes more energy that it would seem. As a result, that speed you pride yourself on decreases immediately after molting."
Koro-sensei's weakness #16
The time right after molting
"From an ordinary person's perspective your incredible speed wouldn't look any different, but it has a huge impact on such a fight between tentacles."
"URGH!"
"In addition, I see you have restored the arm you lost in Itona's initial surprise attack. That restoration also takes a considerable amount of stamina."
Koro-sensei's weaknesses #17
The time right after regeneration
"By my calculations, your physical performance which has decreased twofold, is now roughly equal to Itona's. Also, how well you utilize your tentacles is greatly influenced by your mental state." The other students were shock about this revelation. But Nagisa also realize that's probably the reason why their teacher is quick to panic. However, as Nagisa look around and saw his classmates' wavelengths, and realize that they were nervous about what's happening and is this really happening to their teacher?
"Unrest at the damage taken from those unexpected tentacles, and a confined ring which doesn't allow you time to collect you thoughts, it must be painfully clear, even to you students, which of you is currently the stronger."
"H-hey…" Isogai started, but Okano continued.
"He's not really gonna be killed like this, is he?"
"Moreover, he has support from a devoted guardian." Shiro raised his hand again and use his special beam.
Koro-sensei's weaknesses #18
His body goes rigid when bathed in a special beam of light
"!" Koro-sensei immediately turn rigid upon being hit by the light. "Urgh…" Itona twirled around and hit the ground with his tentacles which successfully cut two of Koro-sensei's leg.
"!"
"…!" Nagisa had nothing to say, while merely frowned as their classmates gasps.
"Fufufu. Now you must regenerate your legs, as well. Your strength will drop even further, and it will become that much easier to kill you." Shiro chuckled. Koro-sensei struggled to stand up as Itona step closer to him.
"… Be at ease. I am stronger than you brother." Koro-sensei's 'brother' stated.
'Koro-sensei is being driven into a corner! Just a little bit more… if he can pull this off, the earth will be saved!' Nagisa thought pulling his anti-sensei knife from his uniform and look at it.
'And yet… it's just like waiting for your opponent's move before deciding on rock, paper, or scissors… they keep revealing Koro-sensei's weaknesses one after another.'
"Karma-kun…" Nagisa mumbled which made Karma to look at him. When the red head look at him, he saw his blue haired classmate looking at him with sad eyes. "Shiro is revealing Koro-sensei's weaknesses but the truth is, we wanted to discover them in this classroom, right? We of class e… wanted to kill him, right?"
Karma frowned before hugging his tamer and rubbed his back.
"We do Nagisa-kun… we do…" The red head then let him go and look at the battle in front of them, just in time to see their teacher's leg regenerate.
"It appears you have finished regenerating your legs. Now, then… will you able to withstand the next rush of attacks?" Shiro asked, while Koro-sensei remained quite before saying.
"… This is the first time I have ever been driven into a corner. At first glance, this would appear to be an honest assassinations bout, but… in actuality, it is meticulously calculated. They are many things I wish to ask you two, but… it seems that I must win this match if I am to get any answers out of you." Koro-sensei cracked his tentacles, his eyes glinting.
"… You still believe you can win? That is quite a big mouth for someone who is undeniably losing." Shiro shrugs.
"…Shiro-san, you must have been the one to scheme up this assassination method, but… there is one thing you forgot to incorporate into your calculations." Koro-sensei stated, pointing at the man.
"Absolutely not. My calculations are perfect." Shiro denied before giving Itona the final order. "Finish it, Itona." Said boy attack slicing the target, or so it seems. When Itona lifted his tentacles he saw it melting and falling off.
"!"
"Oh dear," Koro-sensei casually stated, lifting his handkerchief that he was holding up. "You seem to have trampled the item I dropped."
'There's an… anti-sensei knife in the floorboard!?' Nagisa thought blinking, before looking down. "Eh? Ah!" His anti-sensei knife was missing, while Karma, who knew about his tamer holding the knife, kept glancing at the knife and back to his tamer.
'Just when did he…!' Nagisa and Karma thought, deadpanned at their teacher who suddenly had a poker face. The next thing they knew is that Itona wrapped up by their teacher's molted skin.
"If your tentacles are the same as mine… then anti-sensei knives would be just as effective against you. The unrest at losing a tentacle would be the same, too." Koro-sensei lifted Itona, who began to struggle. "But you see, sensei is just a little bit more cunning." He then throw Itona, who was still with the molted skin, out. The students turn their heads immediately, looking as Itona tumbled.
"I wrapped you up in the skin I'd molted, so you likely didn't take any damage." Koro-sensei stated. "However, your feet have left the confines of the ring." At this, Itona look at his feet, shock while Koro-sensei suddenly had green strips around his head.
"It's my win. According to the rules, it's the death penalty for you. You won't be able to try and kill me a second time." Itona immediately had a scary expression, and Koro-sensei's face went back to normal.
"If you wish your life to be restored then please come and study alongside everyone in this class. There are some things that can't be easily calculated. That's the difference in our levels of experience." At this the students were already smiling, including Karma, well Karma is smirking.
"I have lived just a little longer than you… and have just a little more knowledge. I became a teacher because I want to impart that experience to all of you. In this classroom, you need to make time to learn from sensei's experiences… or you won't be able to win against me." Koro-sensei finished tapping his head, while Shiro step back, thinking.
'… This is bad. Itona has an intense hatred of studying.'
"Can't win… I am weak…?" Itona mumbled, his tentacles and his face turning black. Koro-sensei flinched at the sudden change.
'Compared to children who merely dislike studying, if he is lectured, he'll cause genocidal destruction throughout the school.' Shiro finished his thought as the black tentacles grew and spread. Itona's killing intent roars and his tentacles writhe, it began attacking the window of the class.
"Black tentacles?!" Nakamura shouted.
"Holy Shit, He's losing it!" Sugaya exclaimed as they all covered their faces from the small debris. Itona then jumped from the ground to the window sill, crouching over it.
"I'm strong. No one is stronger than me with these tentacles. No one!" Itona declared. Koro-sensei remained quiet and then he launches himself towards their target. But before he called attack, itona was pierced by something which shocked all of them as he fell down to the floor unconscious.
"My apologies, Koro-sensei." Shiro stated, showing them a gun hidden in his sleeves. "It would seem that this boy… still had such a mindset which would prevent him from attending school." He then walk towards the fallen boy, moving the desk away from his path, before lifting the Itona and carried him like a sack of potato.
"Though this is his first day after transferring… he will be taking a brief leave of absence. Once he joins this class, he will be in my care until he graduates." He then turned to walk away as the students remained silent. Koro-sensei stopped him for a bit, pointing at Shiro, his expression turning darker.
"Hold on a moment! As his homeroom teacher, I cannot simply let that student leave. That aside, Shiro-san, there is also a multitude of things I'd like to ask you."
"No way. We're leaving. Do you intend to try stopping me by force?" The white clothed man, asked. A vein pop-out of their teacher's head and he immediately reaches his hand out to stop him, only to have it explode.
"Anti-sensei fabric. You won't be able to lay so much as a single tentacle on me." Shiro told him as he wipes the exploded part of Sensei's tentacles, said teacher look at his own tentacles. "Have no fear, he will be allowed to return to school soon enough. March is right around the corner, after all. I will take it upon myself… to serve as his home tutor until then." With that both Itona and his guardian left, as he walk down the mountain, Shiro began to talk out loud.
"Itona is still right in the middle of his growth period, so there is no need to rush his readjustment. With that guy's personality… he won't flee from that school until the earth's destruction. Still, that class… fufu. How interesting. A classroom as erratic as today's weather."
At the 3-E Classroom
When Shiro and Itona was out of sight, the students began to fix their classroom, while their teacher sat at a chair at the front, blushing embarrassedly, covering his face.
"What are you doing, Koro-sensei?" Kataoka asked as she and Okano move their tables back to their proper place.
"It's so embarrassing being involved in serious developments. I'm more of a gag character if anything! So embarrassing…" He mumbled out loud, which made his students to shout.
"You're being self-concious!"
"You were pretty cool when you got angry~" Hazama teased, recalling how their teacher reacted. "'Where did you get those!' 'Those tentacles!'"
"NOOO! PLEASE DON'T SAY THOSE LINES, HAZAMA-SAN! IF HEAR THEM AGAIN, I'LL WANT TO RUN AWAY!" Their teacher shouted, making them sweat drop. "Even though being the vague, elusive type was my selling point… letting you see a serious face like that ruins my character!"
"… you evaluating your own character is kind pissing me off." Kimura stated.
Koro-sensei's weakness #19
When he returns to normal after a serious situation,
He gets embarrassed.
"…but that was a real surprise." Irina finally spoked which caught their attention. "To think that Itona kind would whip out a bunch of tentacles…" This made their teacher to snap out from his state.
"… Hey, Koro-sensei, give us an explanation." Kimura said, gesturing his hands as they all stop arranging their tables, to look at him.
"What's your relationship with those two?" Okajima asked.
"You've always evaded telling us the truth about you, but…" Hayami trailed and Sugino continued for her.
"After seeing that, you're not getting out of here without giving us some answers."
"…."
"That's right. We're students, you know?"
"I think we have a right to know about you, sensei."
"… it's really unavoidable. There's no choice but to tell you all the truth…." Koro-sensei stood up as if he was revealing to them his greatest secret. "…The thing is. The thing is, I'm…." Everyone gulped in anticipation.
"The thing is I'm actually… an artificially-created creature!" he blurted out, his students gave him a poker face look though.
"…"
"Well, duh. And?" Okano asked.
"Nyuaa! What a weak reaction! That was pretty shocking thing to confess wasn't it?!" Their teacher shouted, while his students give each other a knowing look.
"… But y'know, there aren't any Mach 20 octopods or anything like that in nature." Okajima stated looking at Hara, who was looking back at him.
"If you're not an alien, then that'd be about the only other possibility."
"So, since Itona-kun said he was your younger brother…"
"We figure he must have been created after you."
'They're way too sharp! What frightening children!' Koro-sensei thought trembling in fear, it was Nagisa, and with Karma following behind him that bluntly asked him what they wanted to know.
"What we're interested in is what came before that, Koro-sensei." He stated, which made his teacher to look at him.
"Why did you get angry earlier, when you saw Itona-kun's tentacles?" Koro-sensei remained quiet so Nagisa continued. "Why were you born… and what you were thinking that led you come to our class?"
"… you're not afraid of asking aren't you Nagisa-kun?" Their teachers asked, he then waved one of his tentacle. "Unfortunately talking about that at this time would be meaningless." Koro-sensei's face turned red, Karma frowned and went in front of Nagisa as if expecting the angry octopus to attack.
"After all, if I blow up the earth, everything you wish to know will be reduced to dust."
"…!"
"On the other hand, if you can save the earth… afterward, you will all have the chance to learn as much of the truth as you'd like. You should already understand. If you want to know you have only one course of action open to you." His face then return back to normal.
"Try to kill me. Assassin and target. That should be the relationship binding yourselves and I. if you are seeking the crucial answers that I hold… all you can do is assassinate me. If there are no further questions, we'll end class here for today. Until tomorrow." Koro-sensei turned around to walk out from the room, when he suddenly paused at the door which caught their attention before sweat dropping bullet as he blush once again.
'We are hitmen. We seek answers through guns and knives.' Nagisa thought as he and Karma went back to their tables and arrange them. 'Sensei is our target. It if his life which takes our questions.'
Few minutes later
Outside the building, the students saw their P.E teacher instructing his fellow agents, while creating… a monkey bar(?), when the students appeared behind him.
"Karasuma-sensei!" Isogai shouted, which caught his attention and turned around.
"…So it's you lot, what's the matter? Coming in such a large group…" Karasuma asked, sweating.
"Um…. Would you teach us more assassination techniques?" Isogai asked.
"…? More than you already know?" Karasuma asked.
"Until now, we'd figured that 'eventually, someone's bound to kill him' as if it didn't involve us, but…" Yada trailed off. Sugaya continued.
"Yeah, watching Itona this time, we realized that we want it to be by our hands, and not someone else's."
"In the future, if we're beaten to the punch by a strong hitman, we won't understand why we've been trying so hard." Mimura stated, pointing at himself.
"That's why we want to try and kill him in the short amount of time we have." Kataoka stated, Nagisa remained quite as he and Karma hang in the back.
"We want to kill our homeroom teacher with our own hands and fin some answers." Isogai finished, Karasuma smiled as well as his co-agents, who were eavesdropping.
'… they've become single-mind toward the same goal. That's an excellent look in their eyes.'
"…Alright." He agreed. "In that case, I'll hold supplementary training after school for those interested. It's going to be even harsher than usual, though."
"Right!" They all agreed, but then suddenly Karasuma ginning sadistically, while pointing up at the tree behind him.
"Well, then, without further delay, you'll be climbing up and down these vertical 20 meters ropes we just set up. BEGIN!"
"That's harshs!" Maehara and Sugino blurted, their eyes bulging out. Nagisa smiled before stepping forward.
"Karasuma-sensei, can I start?" he asked, Karasuma and the others blink before the former nodded and then Nagisa was climbing the ropes with Karma waiting below to catch him. He didn't have to though because before they knew it, Nagisa reached the top and was about to head down.
"EH?" They all shouted, confuse, while Karma frowned when he saw Nagisa paling and panting harsher, but his complexion return to normal when he was few feet away from them. Karasuma's eyes glinted proudly before looking at the other students as if expecting them to beat Nagisa's record. Nagisa climbed down and grinned at them before bowing at Karasuma.
"Then I'll be going." Karasuma let him go and both he and Karma, who will be skipping it, went back to their classroom and grab their things before leaving.
"You were pretty fast Nagisa-kun." Karma mentioned when they were away from their school campus, Nagisa smiled at him cheerfully.
"Tehee~" Just then they passed a takoyaki stall, which made Karma to stop and buy. Nagisa waited for him. The red head then gave the blue head a drink.
"Arigato, Karma-kun." Nagisa mumbled as he and Karma sat down at the bench near the park. Karma merely hum, blowing the steaming, hot takoyaki before turning to his tamer.
"Nagisa-kun~ Ahhh~" Karma smirked as the bluenette unconsciously did so. When the takoyaki was in Nagisa's mouth did he realize his mistake and blush. Karma laughed and everyone who passed by them thought one thing.
'What a cute couple~'
Two days later
Nagisa's POV
It's the third Sunday of the month, it's time for my third Sunday routine... which is playing tennis.
I like tennis and my mom knows it but there's a catch. Every time I play tennis... I need to wear the girl's uniform and so here I am. At the tennis gym, wearing girl's clothe and waiting for the partner that's been assign to me from the very start since I join here.
"Nagisa-kun." I heard someone called me, which made me smile and look behind me, my azure eyes met another pair of azure eyes, who had the same hair color as me and can be invisible if he wants. Kuroko Testuya.
"Tetsuya-kun…" I bowed and he did the same and look at me before frowning.
"She still hadn't change I see..." he told me and I nodded sadly at that. "And K-sensei is still doing it I see..." he mumbled and i nodded sadly before looking at his neck and giggled.
"Akashi-kun is still possessive I see~" I teased. I'm really comfortable around him, that I let my true self out.
"Sei-kun wants everyone to know that I'm his, especially here where I will wear clothes that reveals all of my skin." At that I raised an eyebrow which made him add. "His words not mine." I giggle and said.
"Shall we go?" Time for me to finally have some fun!
