Chapter 13: Swim Time

AN: Sorry for it being shorter then usual, iv had some stuff going on lately.

"Huh? Now this is a weird combination" Daichi remarked as he was coming in, and saw five people he did not expect to see with each other. It was Toko, Junko, Cynthia, Katsue, and Ichi. "Okay, you are planning an assassination right? Thats the only reason I can think of you five being together".

Toko sighed. "Well, thats our current topic. We were actually all in charge of preparing everything for the class today, but we moved onto comparing notes. As a side note, I am not the only one who noticed it right? Koro-sensei does not handle sudden changes in the enviornment well".

"Thats true" Cynthia mentioned. "He was clearly flustered when you and Zero suddenly went into attack mode, Ichi?"

"O-oh...you think so?"

"Yeah. That might be useful for an assassination. Anyways, the five of us were just making some notes. ALso, Cynthia...if you got some help and resources from the government, do you think you could do it?"

"I mean, it should be feasibly possible. The only question would be if Junko could build something like that".

"Fuck yeah I can! Especially with Ichi's help, and if we get the government to pitch in as well!"

"Sweet. And Katsue, can you make the shot?"

Katsue Aoki nodded as she heard that.

"Alright then. Lets explore this later then. It could prove interesting".

"...wait, if Cynthia is involved...it probably means poison...will poison work on Koro-sensei?" Daichi wondered to himself.

That was when Koro-sensei arrived in a flash.

"Just letting you know, you will want to get changed into swimwear!"

And then, he disappeared again. Everyone groaned at that.

The school did a ridiculously huge amount of things to bully, suppress, and humiliate E Class. From the assemblies, to the baseball game, to the mountain campus, to the perks that main campus people got, to so much more. And this included the old "these swimsuits are for E class to optimize their focus and ability to learn". For the boys, it was essentially a speedo, while the girls...they had to put up with a full body wet suit that was almost impossible for them to take off themselves.

"Hey, Ichi..." Katsue started to ask as they walked down the hillside. "Will you be okay? I mean, you look like a normal human, but...wont water short circuit you?"

"Ah...well..." Ichi said, a bit embarrassed as he fidgeted a little while blushing. "My artificial skin is made to essentially be waterproof. And so are my other systems. So I will be fine!"

It appeared Ichi did not have a weakness to water, at least.

Shota meanwhile looked around. "...hey, wait. Isnt the pool on the main campus the other way?"

"Fufufufufufufu!" Koro-sensei giggled and his tentacles wiggled. "But you see...I have a special surprise!"

That was when Koro-sensei opened up some bushes, and revealed a huge pool he had built. Nagisa looked at this though, and couldn't help but sigh.

So he did this...wait, is that a water slide!?

"That is right Nagisa! This is my second version of the mountain pool!"

"That is a water slide!"

"And a diving board!"

"Cool!"

And so, everyone ditched their jackets and shoes quickly, and several people jumped in.

I know we are supposed to kill him, so the world does not blow up...but, he makes it really hard when he does things like this!

Toko could not help but think that as he jumped right in.

And while everyone was having fun, no one noticed they were being watched.

Meanwhile, Nagisa looked at what was going on. Alright...should be in about three...two...one...

"Ahhhh! No running by the pool!"

Yep. Still a stickler for pool rules".

"Aww come on, relax Koro-sensei" Daichi mentioned. "At least you dont have to wear some embarrassing swimsuit!"

At that remark, he splashed some water towards him, and caused Koro-sensei to shriek. Very noticably. Enough for the whole class to turn and look at him.

"...what was that?"

Nagisa smiled. It seemed the entire class had taken notice.

"...Koro-sensei, you made this pool...why are you sitting over there, away from the water?"

"Err...well...I..."

ALl the gazes of the students became opportunistic and bloodthirsty.

"...is it possible...you cant swim?"

"Well...I do tend to swell up when I get wet...but...its okay, because I have my handy mucas!"

...and then, five minutes later, after Koro-sensei had accidentally entered lecture mode and explained all about his mucus, they were very much creeped out.

"...thats just...not normal..."

"Error404SanityNotFound".

"Ichi! No, dont crash on us!"

"...I am glad I have Dark Matter infusions, not Anti-matter".

"That was just too much..."

"...yeah..."

"Come on, it was not that weird!"

"""""""IT WAS SUPER WEIRD!"""""""

"Nooooo!"

After swim practice was over, a shadowed figure began to lurk around, and got to work.

"Well well, if it isn't E-Class Scum" one of the regular students said as they walked by on the way to their class. "Harboring a murderer like that".

Even though no one had actually died, that word had been being thrown around at them. And to be fair, one day, they would have to commit murder. Toko knew it. Aria knew it. Faye knew it. But, that was not they were refering to. They meant the two students that had been hospitalized.

Toko shot them a glare, but was pulled along by Shota. "Come on now, they are not worth it".

And so, they climbed the hill. Or at least, they started to, when they ran into someone else. An older man, who immediately flashed a badge! A police officer!

Faye almost on instinct ran over to knock the guy out, but along with Shota putting up his arm slightly to help stop her, also realized herself that it was bad. Still, the fact he, a police officer, was here was no good. What if E-Class got exposed? What if Koro-sensei was exposed? What would the Director do?

"Hello. You all belong to E class, am I right? I am here to question you and your teachers about the student, how about walking up together?"

Crap crap...we cant let him do that!

We will be screwed if he finds out!

The Director will kill everyone, or at least him!

How do we stop this?!

While they panicked, although secretly as they were hiding it, Toko stepped up first.

"Sorry, but you will need to leave. This is private property after all, owned by the school".

As everyone else was shocked by his actions, a few of them immediately understood. The Best Friend. The Diplomat. The Gambler.

"Are you su..."

"Yes. After all, you know its private property, so unless someone, like say, a student, invited you, you cant go any further, right?"

That was when everyone else caught on. Shota realized it at Toko's reaction, because he realized the way he phrased it was a trick he had read before in a detective manga. Aria realized it because after Toko reacted, and she was able to calm down and focus a little, she realized it had been a trick to try and get them to give him permission. And Faye realized it because it was a gamble. She loved risks, thrills, and so on, so she understood that he had been gambling by saying that line, but Toko had called his bluff.

"Well then, doesn't that mean you have something to..."

"Dad!"

That was when one very familiar voice called out. Everyone turned around, and saw Jiro Yamato storm up to the man who, now that they looked closer, shared a resemblance.

"What are you doing here?! You are not interrogating my friends, right?!"

"Umm...no, of course not, sweetie! Of course..."

"And where is your partner?! You did not leave him to do the troublesome things on your own right?!"

"No no! But you see, I am here on a case and..."

"And have you even talked to the principal yet?!"

"Okay okay! Have a fun day, Jiji!"

And with that, he rushed off.

"...that was your dad?"

"Yeah. Usually he is a lot cooler, but I know how to fluster him and get him to leave. We couldn't risk him finding out, after all".

"Alright then, lets head up".

Once again, they proceeded up the mountain, and went to class. However, they were a bit more eager then usual, since they had swim class again today, AKA pool time.

"I don't suppose we could do something about these damn swimsuits" Toko said. He prefered swim trunks after all, and they practically only covered the vital areas, leaving even his hips exposed. Like, the school had various excuses, but this was clearly a punishment.

As they approached though, Faye ran ahead along the side of the pool.

"Faye-chan, no running around the pool!"

"Relax! Its fi..." she started, when she suddenly seemed to slip. Koro-sensei immediately rushed to her aid...when suddenly, she pulled a knife out from somewhere and slashed at him, even getting a tentacle as she grabbed hold of him and threw the both of them into the water!

"Faye!"

"She is going for it!"

Now, as Koro-sensei said, he did have ways to protect himself against the water. His mucus for example, but also the ability to shed his skin. However, he was only able to do that once a month, and he had done that last week. And even if the mucus could protect him, being submerged in an entire pool of water would still take its toll. And finally, she had already taken out one tentacle, and slashed at another.

He had two of his tentacles shoot out of the water to grab hold of something and get him out, but they burst upon hitting something. A net of thin, hard to see wires, made of Anti-sensei material, that was overhead. That was four tentacles. He had to be weakened now. She had played on several weaknesses. She had used his weakness to water, to sudden envirornment changes, and she used herself as bait.

Although she herself was starting to struggle for oxygen, she kept at it...until Koro-sensei managed to grab a hold of her, and burst out of the water, getting them both to land. After a bit of coughing, she took deep breaths as she layed down on the ground.

"That was a very good attempt, but all life is precious and meaningfull Faye-chan. You should not endanger your own life so much like that! And you should obey pool rules!"

...he still fit that in huh?

SOme of them could not help but laugh at that. Enough that a lot of them overlooked Koro-sensei's biggest weakness of all.

After that, once everything had calmed down, Faye had wondered off and was by herself, a bit annoyed. That was when Toko, Miyuki, and Sayuri came over to see what was up.

"You okay, Faye-san?" Toko asked.

"Yeah...just...I really thought I had him" she said. She was not really upset, she was just annoyed. She felt like she had a real chance to make her mark on history there, to kill Koro-sensei, but she failed it.

"Well I think you did a great job!"

"Yeah, you shouldn't feel so down! That was a great attempt!" Miyuki added.

"Thanks, Miyuki-chan. Thanks everyone. I just...I was so close".

"Are you okay though? For a moment I thought you might have drowned" Sayuri mentioned.

"Yeah...I guess..." she mentioned, looking over at Toko. She suddenly had a mischevious smile, and pulled down his swimsuit in that instant. His face went red, but before he could react, she kissed him on the lips and caused him to fall backwards. Now everyone was shocked.

"Wh-wh-what was that?!"

"Thanks, I feel better now" she said with a smirk, as Toko pulled his swimsuit back up. "And its fun to live dangerously, without regret".

"Dangerously?! How is that dangerous for anyone?!"

"Oh Toko-kun, you really are clueless aren't you? Don't you...ah, I will let you figure it out. Its more fun that way".

"Wait...what?"

"She is saying a girl in our class has a crush on you Toko-kun" Sayuri mentioned.

"Technically, I think its two" Miyuki added, though she might have been teasing or joking with the smile on her face.

Meanwhile, from an undisclosed location...

"Did you gather all that data?"

"Yes. It should prove useful to our efforts".

"Good. Then we should start preparing immediately".

Forces began to move and shift in the shadows.
