A/N: My precious snowflakes~ Hello again! I am getting a little busier every day which is kind of good considering how lazy I was over quarantine, but that means updates will be fewer and probably shorter. Also, I got into Haikyuu recently and I freaking love it. 10/10 recommend it to anyone looking for an anime to watch. Naturally, I started writing an OC fanfiction about it, so that also takes away from this one. Don't know if I'll post the other one (?) cause I don't actually know anything about volleyball so I don't know how to write about it lol. Back to this fanfiction, I have another two chapters written for sure, but the next arc is a bit more complicated, so it'll take longer. Okay, that's it from me! Enjoy the new chapter and as always thank you to all of you who followed, favorited, and reviewed! You guys are the best~


Chapter 18

Mizuki was surprised. She had been keeping an eye out for the boy with red hair who had saved her and her siblings that day near the park, but he never passed by again. She waited at the park around the same time as often as she could to try and catch him. I can't believe he's in my class and I didn't even know it.

He looked the same as he did that day: a carton of strawberry milk was in his hand, his red hair glinting in the sunlight, and an arrogant look on his face.

"Karma-kun?" Shiota's voice rang out.

"Yo, Nagisa-kun. It's been a while." The boy, dubbed Karma, said with a closed eye smile.

Upon opening his eyes, he seemed to have spotted something and rushed down the stairs past the Shiota and the group of students, "Woah, that's the Korosensei I've heard about? He really does look like an octopus."

"Ah, you must be Akabane Karma. Your suspension ends today doesn't it?" Korosensei greeted.

Suspension? Oh right, he did say something about that the first time we met.

"You really shouldn't be late on your first day back!" Korosensei berratted, his face turning red with anger.

"Gomen, gomen!" Akabane apologized. "I'm not used to a school schedule yet. I'll be more relaxed if you use my first name. Anyway, it's nice to meet you sensei!" Akabane said with a smile, holding his hand out for Korosensei to shake.

Something is off about him. This doesn't seem like him… though I don't really know him I guess… Mizuki thought. Like her classmates, she was glued to the scene happening in front of them. For some reason, Mizuki knew something important was about to happen.

"Same here." Korosensei responded cheerfully. "I look forward to a fun and interesting year, Karama-kun."

Splat!

A flash of red dashed towards Korosensei with a knife hidden in a black sleeve. Korosensei disappeared in a flash and reappeared a few meters away from Akabane with a tentacle missing.

The first person to injure Korosensei… was him. The whole class thought in shock.

"Huh, you really are fast. And these knives really do work on you." Akabane chuckled, staring at his hand. "You know sensei, I didn't expect you to fall for such a simple trick. I just cut the knife up into small pieces and taped them to my hand. And on top of that, you jumped back so far…"

He shoved his hands into his pockets and stalked towards Korosensei slowly. "I've heard you're called Korosensei because you're unkillable, but what's this? Could it be, that you're actually an easy mark, sen- sei?"

Korosensei's face was becoming more and more red in annoyance and anger. Mizuki had no idea what their teacher could be thinking. She knew he had promised to never hurt a student, but so far none of them had actually injured him. Would he be different this time?

Mizuki's hands rested on the knives hidden in her sleeves ready to whip them out. Though the boy seemed to be able to handle Korosensei, she knew their sensei had yet to reveal his true potential and the boy had only caught him off guard.

"...What kind of person is he?" Mizuki heard Kayano-san whisper to Shiota.

"We were friends in first and second year, but he was suspended in second year for violence against other students and was transferred to Class E. With the current situation, though, Karma-kun could be considered a genius." Shiota responded.

"What do you mean?"

"If dangerous weapons are the foundation for foul play and sneak attacks, Karma-kun will excel. He's an expert on that topic."

Mizuki refocused her attention on Korosensei and Akabane-san. Korosensei was standing frozen in his spot as Akabane-san walked away back towards the crowd of students who were all still watching with rapt attention. As he passed by her, Mizuki caught a glimpse of what she could only describe as a truly murderous expression on his face.

He didn't even glance my way. Maybe he doesn't remember me. If what Shiota said was true, then I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't remember that one fight. Mizuki contemplated. She glanced to the side at her only friend and saw him also watching the red head with rapt attention. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, but she was pretty sure it was along the same lines as everyone else in the class.

This boy is dangerous, but he's also the most likely one to kill Korosensei.

Time Skip

Squish. Squish. Squish.

Rhythmic squishy sounds were coming from the front of the classroom as Korosensei sullenly punched the classroom wall. The students were glancing at one another. At first it was in confusion at Korosensei's behavior, but now it was in annoyance as the sound distracted them from their social studies quiz.

Mizuki sighed as she tried to block out the noise and finish the last few questions of her quiz. It had only been 10 minutes, but social studies wasn't too difficult for her so she was able to easily answer the questions.

"Korosensei!" Okano-san yelled at their teacher, "The sounds you're making are annoying! We're taking a quiz ya know?"

"M-my apologies!" Korosensei apologized, looking like a startled cat.

Mizuki glanced to her right when she heard Dummy speak up.

"Yo, Karma, don't come crying when you get that monster mad~" Dummy taunted with an arrogant smirk. You're acting like you weren't almost bawling when you got him mad, baka. Mizuki sighed in her head.

"It would have been better if you stayed safe at home~" The yellow hair minion of Dummy continued.

Mizuki rolled her eyes again and focused on her quiz once more. Honestly, it was none of her business.

"If you were about to be killed, of course you would be angry." Akabane-san's calm voice rang out. He didn't even bother to keep quiet. "Terasaka-san, it's different than when a certain someone wet himself."

"Wh-! I didn't wet myself! Teme, you lookin' for a fight?" Dummy shouted in anger.

"Hey! You guys in the back be quiet! We are in the middle of a quiz! If you don't stop talking, I'm going to assume you are cheating." Korosensei reprimanded them.

"Oh, my bad Korosensei~" Akabane-san apologized in fake sincerity. "I already finished my quiz, you see. I'll just enjoy my gelato quietly in the back."

"No eating in class-" Korosensei cut himself off as he looked at the strawberry flavored gelato in Akabane-san's hand. "Hey! That's mine! I flew it all the way through the atmosphere to keep it cold on the way back from Italy."

So, it's yours. The class thought in annoyance and exasperation.

"Oh? I found it in the teacher lounge refrigerator and just took it."

"I went through so much trouble for that. A simple apology won't suffice!" Korosensei declared marching towards the red head.

"What are you going to do? Hit me?" Akabane-san asked. He stuck his tongue out and deliberately took a long lick of the gelato.

"Of course not. I'll just eat the rest of it." Korosensei said. Just as he was about to reach Akabane-san's desk, loud splattering sounds were heard. Everyone looked down to see Korosensei's leg tentacles misshapen from stepping on the bb-pellets scattered on the ground.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Korosensei easily dodged the three shots fired at him despite the close range.

"Ahahahaha~ Fooled you again, sen- sei!" Karma laughed holding his gun up. "I'll keep up these dirty tricks to kill you little by little. I don't care if they interrupt class. If you want to stop me, you'll have to kill me and my parents. But from then on, no one will see you as a teacher anymore. You'll just be… a… murderous… monster…" Akabane taunted shoving the gelato into Korosensei's teacher's robe. He leaned in and whispered something that only Korosensei could hear before heading for the door.

"Oh, here's my quiz. I'm pretty sure I got all the answers right though! By sensei! Let's play again tomorrow." Akabane-san teased as he headed out of the classroom.

The whole class was watching in silence at the door where Akabane-san had left. Korosensei stood stationary with his stained robes staring at the paper he had caught before it touched the floor.

Mizuki glanced out the window to her left and caught a glimpse of the red head as he headed down the mountain. He's definitely dangerous. He's clearly intelligent and knows his way around people no matter who they are. I need to find out what kind of person he is before I approach him.

Mizuki looked ahead of her at the blue head bent over his quiz. If anyone had the right information, it would be Shiota-san. I'll ask him after class.

Review Replies:

abi'eybie: Thank you for the well wishes:) I'm all moved in now if anyone was curious:p

peach9210: I completely understand what you mean about siblings lol. On Chiba, the reason Chiba tries so hard to befriend Mizuki is because he knows what the rest of Class E thinks of her but also knows it's not true. With how all of Class E is being unfairly mistreated, I figured Chiba is kind enough to want to help her in some way. Based on his character, he doesn't really ask for help and he doesn't talk much to the others, so he wouldn't try to convince the others that Mizuki is not like the others (also because they probably wouldn't believe him) which leaves him taking matters into his own hands and befriending her himself. It was a new experience for Chiba so when Mizuki accused him, he thought he had made her uncomfortable with his almost forced friendship. As for liking her, I made them blush a ton around each other but that's because Mizuki accidentally showed him a very vulnerable side to him so she's both embarrassed and nervous around him (though there are some feelings in there). Chiba blushes around her because I assume he's not used to other's opening up to him or physical affection which makes him just as nervous and embarrassed (but again, feelings are still there just not as strong as I maybe implied). Hope that answers your question! Sorry it took me forever to get back to you haha.

Guest1: That... is a really good point about Mizuki's strength. I didn't actually know Nagisa's weight and just thought it would show off Mizuki's athleticism, but I did not mean to make her that strong. She is stronger than most of the girls, but definitely not as strong as Terasaka or Karma. We'll just pass if off as plot armor.(My bad=_=)

Guest2: Read the chapter and you'll know if Karma remembers her;) The strawberry milk she owes him has not been forgotten though!

Guest3: Aw thank you for your feedback! I'm glad I got Chiba right. He's an underrated character that deserves more characterization and attention.

Guest4: Your vote has been accounted for! Welcome to the Gakuzuki ship!

ILikeFoxes828: As always, your reviews are my favorite! I agree, Chiba needs to man up and just kiss and confess, but he's too much of a gentleman to force that on Mizuki right now. Thank you for your praise! It makes me so happy_ (Also lots of the credit goes to midwifeceremony1 as my amazing beta. Would not be half as good without my author-in-crime). I love your description of Karma~ And I definitely agree, but that doesn't mean he won't swoop in and sweep Mizuki off her feet later (much, much later).

Guest5: Your vote has been accounted for! Welcome to the Ryuuzuki ship!

ILikeFoxes828: (Hello again lol) Glad you're so excited for Karma's grand entrance. Also, WE STAN TSUNDERE MIZUKI (she'll learn eventually).
