A/N I like being in an arc I actually kinda know what I'm doing. I might update the cover sometime soon, so if you're interested in that I would stay alert.

Karma's POV
I would've never thought J to be one to hurt herself. Or at least, I thought her cat would've stopped her. He seems to have a plan of some sort, and with the way he hangs around, J, or something to do with J, must have a major role in it.
Once J sat down in her bed, she opened her backpack and took her Japanese textbook out.
"So the main thing you're having problems with..." She starts to say.
"How short of a memory do you think I have?" I ask.
She mumbles, "Damnit."
J sits up, and stretches one of her arms across her chest. "Look, I don't see why you think it's your business. Or why you seem to care so much. My profession is the risk of me being killed everyday, for how many people or things I target, five more will target me. A few scratches on my legs mean nothing in the game I play." I narrow my eyes. "Seriously? Look, I harm myself okay? But don't you think I deserve it? Think of all the people I've killed, think about how early I started killing. Then think about the definition of your name. Don't I deserve this, Karma?"
"Just because you hurt others, doesn't mean you hurt yourself." I tell her. "Besides, haven't you only killed people that have done wrong."
She mumbles something again. It's either a different language, or something I can't understand.
"Look, it's just something you don't have to worry about." She states. She looks back down at the textbook. "And I'm not talking about it anymore. So, we can start tutoring or you can leave."
A Few Days Later
Nagisa's POV
"Why's there a bandage wrapped around your arm?" Kayano asks J as she passes by our desks.
"I got in a small knife fight yesterday." J replies casually. F elbows her. "I fell down a flight of stairs."
"And it gave you a cut?" I ask. A sprained wrist maybe, but that wouldn't require a bandage.
"You know the knife I always have in my sock? It flew out when I fell." J answers. Ahe takes out the weapon, and twirls it around in her fingers. "Apparently F was right when she labeled this as 'dangerous'."
F pushes her forward, and they walk to their desks.
Molly stops, and then says to us. "I don't think it was that. She did fall down the stairs yesterday, but even if her knife did fall out, it wouldn't of been opened."
Molly then walks on too, not giving us time to ask anymore questions.
The Next Week
Korosensei's POV
"Why's there a bandage on your other arm now?!" I exclaim, J keeps getting injured. I can't have an injured student. How will they assassinate me?
"I'm really good at falling down stairs, call it a talent." J shrugs. She throws an anti-me knife around in her hands. "But I should be asking why you don't have any bandages." At a point where it would've been strange to throw the knife at me, because she had just caught it with her left hand, when she's right handed, she throws it towards me. I barely dodge it. "I'm still just as capable to kill you."
Molly shakes her head slightly at me. She's been talking about J lying about what happened, but that she doesn't know what actually happened. She's worried, and it's been making her unfocused. And if she's unfocused, exams in two months might go horribly.
Oh, maybe I'm stressing over nothing. But, what if there's something truly wrong?! Ah! Why is this so much more stressful than three years ago?!
"Shouldn't the cut from last week be healed now?" Molly asks as they walk off. "Can't you take the bandage off?"
Third Period, Phys Ed
No One's POV (Third POV)
It's the beginning of the period, most of the students are making their way out of the building and towards the usual field where they practice "I don't see why you're all so interested in my injuries." J tells a few classmates, that had again come to ask about her new bandage.
"Because you're our classmate and we actually kinda care for you and your health." Nakamura states as a question. "Plus, it's not like you just fell down the stairs twice and got the same injury, but just on a different arm. We wanna know what really happened."
"And, like Molly's said, you keep a switchblade in your sock, so even if it did fall out, the actual knife wouldn't be able to hurt you because it would be closed." Fuwa adds on. "You also have a lot of bandages on, and they're wrapped around your arms. There would have to be multiple cuts, or a few severe cuts to require that much bandaging. The latter wouldn't allow you to move as freely as you have been."
"Look, I'm not exactly honest but I wouldn't lie about an injury. Not to my classmates at least. And certainly not F or Molly." J says, dropping from her casual tone to one more serious. "I may lie about how I got an injury. But what I told you guys is that I have cuts, and that's the truth."
"Why would you lie about how you got cut?" Nakamura asks, adding her suspicion to her voice. "Do you have something to hide?"
"In my line of work, you always do. I would've thought you'd known that by now." J retorts. "But we'll be counted as late if we don't join the group." She runs ahead and meets up with the majority of other students.
"It didn't work Korosensei." Fuwa turns back to tell the teacher, who had appeared as soon as J ran off.
"I wanna find out even if I have to tear the bandages off myself." Nakamura comments. "None of it adds up."
"She'll slip up eventually. Or we could make a game out of it." Korosensei says. "How willing do you think Karasuma is to give up this period?"
"I think he may have said we're just doing drills today." Fuwa answers.
"Great! Let's do it!" Korosensei exclaims. "I feel my idea will be great in improving your skills as well."
Korosensei then moves towards Karasuma, and begins to beg if he can conduct the gym period today. Since most of the students are gathered right there, they can hear this conversation.
"It's just one day. And it'll be good practice for them!" Korosensei pleads.
"Calm down, I haven't even told you no yet." Karasuma deadpans to the overly dramatic octopus. "And I'd at least like to hear your idea before it takes over my class."
"I want to take cops and robbers, and combine it with the civil war. So it's all of the students against one, but every student still gets to practice their skills in assassination." Korosensei explains.
"And why do you want it to be all against one? Isn't it the job for them to be all against you?" Karasuma questions.
"It's just a game. Any assassination attempts towards me will still be greatly accepted." Korosensei informs.
"Do you have a reason for singling a student out, is my question." Karasuma says.
"Oh! I, and many of the other students, wanna know what's actually under J's bandages." Korosensei replies.
Karasuma sighs, than turns to the student in question. "Are you okay with this?"
"Yeah sure." J shrugs. "I don't see what could go wrong. But, if I win, I want everyone to stop asking."
Karasuma turns back to Korosensei. "Go ahead." He steps back from the class.
Korosensei begins explaining his game in more depth. "As you all heard, it's all of you against J. Give me about three seconds to prepare more paint weapons." He disappears for exactly the amount of time he mentioned, and when he appears back he has one large box of ammo, a small box of ammo, rubber knives coated in paint, and a few other items dripping with pigment. "J will be red, and the rest of you will be black. I have ammunition, knives, and I even made some things for the unique weapons of the class. A painted blade for J's scythe. Some painted tips for F's bow. And I went ahead and made two new ninja stars for Molly, who I'm appointing as leader for the black team." The students grab their newly paint modified weapons. "Ritsu will keep track of who's in and out and report current events of the game to you all. We have all the rules of last years few games in place, no physical harm should be done to another student. Any questions?"
"I feel a little out numbered. I feel I should be able to use my abilities, get a head start or something." J says. "I mean I'm against thirty-three other people."
"Fine. You may use any abilities and/or whatever mechanical organs or chips or whatever it is in your brain that gives you Mach 13, etc. And I'll give you a minute head start." Korosensei says. "F, Molly, I want you two to refrain from using these abilities until and/or unless there are only four people left on your team. Any more questions?"
"Do we have to do this?" Terasaka questions from the back of the group.
"Yes, I'm making it a participation grade." Korosensei says. "J, your one minute headstart begins now."
The bandaged student runs off, fast enough that she only appears as a blur. She disappears into the forest covering the Class E mountain.
J's POV
He's made this too easy for me.

A/N This chapter took a lot longer than I thought it was going to, but that was due to me being sick for most of this week. I'm feeling much better now I've gotten medicine and rest I'm doing fine except I have a lot of school work to catch up on.
Anyways, this was an eventful chapter, but I do feel that if a Class E member was injured yet they wouldn't tell the truth about the injury, this is how the students and Korosensei would react.
Review, favorite, and follow as always. I really want feedback for this one, because I'm excited for this little arc I have it makes me feel like I actually know what I'm doing with this story.
