Chapter 5- Summertime

A certain bespectacled girl is smiling while watching her classmates playing at the swimming pool their octopus-like teacher made, she feels happy and relieved after a very tiring day fighting Itona and Shiro. Her eyes focus on a certain red haired boy whose busily teasing one of their classmates, and to her surprise the said boy looks at her, smirk and waves his hand, shyly she waves back at him.

After a little while the red haired boy went to sit besides his bespectacled classmate.

"What's up Okuda-san? Aren't you going to swim?" He asked.

"Hmm.. I'm a little tired." She replied.

With a concerned voice he asked "Are you ok? Did something happen to you while we're fighting that Itona guy?"

"Ohh.. No.. Karma-kun.. I'm just a bit overwhelmed." She assuringly replied.

"You sure about that?" He asked

"Yes." She answered with a big smile on her face.

Blushing he said "Well I'm glad."

Noticing Karma's face, Okuda reached out to touch his face and said "Are you ok Karma-kun?!"

Upon contact Karma's face turned a much deeper shade of red, he couldn't answer immediately which caused Okuda to be more concerned, with a knitted brow she called his name again and again "Karma-kun? Karma-kun? Karma-kun?"

As if waking up Karma responded with a mumbled "I'm ok, don't worry Okuda-san."

As if nothing happened Okuda let go of Karma's face and said "I was so worried about Korosensei and Hara-san, it's a good thing that you were there to help them."

With a smirk he said "Well Terasaka did all the work I was just instructing him what to do."

"It's still your idea. I'm glad nobody was hurt, especially you Karma-kun." She said softly.

Out of nowhere water came splashing and leaving the both of them soaked.

"Ha… Do you think you could get away from me Karma." Shout Terasaka.

"You too Manami-chan." Kayano said while giggling.

Seeing that some of their classmates have participated in getting them soaked, Karma took Okuda's hand and ran towards them saying "You all will pay for this."
