Chapter 2- Explanations and Secrets

Makoto's POV

I sit up groggily, my head swimming. Ugh, what happened? Then I remembered, my eyes snap wide open. I drank my daily dose of poison, like Silva told me too, but it reacted violently to my body, which is weird because that has never happened before. I put thumb on my lips, biting my nail, a habit I do when I'm thinking. Maybe Silva gave me a new poison that my body isn't use to. Yeah, that has to be it.

"But why would he give me a new one? To challenge my body?" I mutter to myself.

My thoughts were broken though, because the door was opened and I look up to see Karasuma. His eyes were hard to read, but not his body. He was breathing heavy and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"What the hell were you thinking?! Why did you drink Polonium!?" He practically yells at me.

"Hm, so what's it was." I mumbled, grabbing my small notebook, and writing down what poison it was.

"Well? Are you going to answer me?" Karasuma says, crossing his arms over his chest.

"It's apart of my training," I say, nonchalantly, "I'm trying to get immune to poison, though I don't know why my teacher gave me Polonium, I'm use to Arsenic and Cyanide. That's the most violent reaction I've gotten out of poison."

As I explained, Karasuma's eyes widen even more.

"Well, I feel better." I say, getting up from a bed, my weight pulling me down a little bit.

I feel the poison in my body, running through my veins. Luckily, I'm use to this feeling so it doesn't affect me that much.

"Can I go to class?" I ask, tilting my head.

"I guess," Karasuma mutters. "The next class is P.E. Can you handle that?"

"Yeah, no problem." I waved it off. 'I've been in worse situations…'

"Well, alright, but please take it easy if you can't handle it." Karasuma advised.

"Yeah, okay."

Karasuma leaves and I get dressed in the P.E clothing. Walking out, I see everyone trying to hit Karasuma, their knives not even hitting him. I scoff, walking towards the class, but only to be stopped by Korosensei.

"Makoto, are you alright?" he asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure? You drank Polonium." Korosensei says, concern etched in his voice.

"Yes, I'm used to it already. I'm training to get immune to poison." I explain patiently.

"Oh. Well, carry on then!" Korosensei declared, making my eyes roll but I smile anyway.

Karasuma was about to wrap up P.E but I grab everyone's attention.

"Mind if I have a crack at you?" I say teasingly.

"Hey, wait. You flipping drank poison, you sure you're fine?" says a kid with red hair.

"Yup! I'm fine!" I say, stretching and cracking my bones.

Some of the people around me flinched, hearing the noise. I smirked and in my peripheral vision, someone threw a green object at me. I catch it and see a rubber knife with the acronym S.A.A.U.S.O on both sides.

"What is this?" I ask, confused as a held the weapon up to my face for inspection.

"It's a knife made out of Anti-Korosensei materiel. It's harmless to us, but can hurt him. We use it in our training so no one will get seriously hurt." Karasuma explains, as I twirl the knife around in my hand, admiring the light weight.

"Oh, well that makes sense, but I think it would be fun to use real knives you know? It could create tension, fear, and resolve in a young person's heart." I said, throwing the knife up and down.

"Really? Isn't that dangerous?" Said a blue haired kid, his hair pulled back in two pigtails.

"That's what makes it fun." I said, watching as some of the students shiver at my comment.

"Okay, well we have a schedule to keep, so let's get this over with." Karasuma explains curtly.

"Okay, okay." I roll my eyes, but kept my guard up, just in case.

'Hopefully, my training at Heaven's Arena and the Ant fight will pay off.' I thought, my hands tighten around the plastic knife.

Karasuma assumes a regular fighting stance, his legs bent, arms wide, with his knife holding hand in the front. His torso twisted to the side to keep his belly unexposed. From what I can tell by studying him, Karasuma is very well trained by the muscles that were clearly seen from under his shirt and he is very experienced because of how confident his stance is. I fall into my stance as well, one arm out, a little bent with the knife in that hand, the other one goes to protect my head, while my legs bend slightly to give me momentum if I decide to launch myself at Karasuma.

Karasuma starts off the fight by launching himself at me with his knife outstretched. Unfortunately for him, he's too slow for me. I easily dodge his attack and Karasuma stops himself from completely falling over. That leaves his belly exposed, so I try to get into his defenses, leaving myself open for an attack on my torso. Karasuma rolls to the side, making me to have to change directions to follow him. Not being prepared for this, Karasuma puts his hands up in a X block across his face. I come at him faster than should've, but at the last minute, I disappear and reappear behind him, leaving his back exposed for an attack. I managed to land a hit on his side, causing Karasuma to fall over in pain.

"Gotcha! I win!" I say, twirling my knife around my hand, grinning like an idiot.

"Good job. I was surprised, to say the least, about your speed during your last attack on me." Karasuma say and I offer him my hand to help him up.

He takes it and I pull him up. Dusting the dirt off his suit, Karasuma extends his hand out. I take it and shake firmly, looking directly into his eyes.

Karasuma looks surprised by this as well, not expecting a teen to look him squarely in the eyes. Turning to face my classmates, most of them had their jaws dropped, eyes wide by the match.

"That's the first time someone has landed a hit on Karasuma-sensei." the blue-haired kid said, looking at me with awe.

I shrug, not really surprised that these kids haven't landed a hit on him. I mean, he's a pro, he wouldn't let his guard down just so the kids can land a hit.

"How did you do it?! That was amazing!" A really bubbly girl with ombre orange hair asks me, her eyes lit with excitement.

"It was easy, I've had a lot of experience and training. Karasuma is fast, I will admit, but I've fought faster people." I say nonchalantly, like it was no big deal.

"Seriously?!" The whole class said.

I sweat drop and rub the back of my neck. I'd rather not talk about a certain fight, but I know a lot of my enemies were powerful and quick, so I had to be light on my toes.

"I got to hand to you, you're pretty quick on your feet." said the red haired boy, I believe his name is Karma.

"Yeah, I guess you can say that." I shrug.

"How about you and me go toe to toe?" Karma suggested as he throws the knife up and down.

"Sure if you want to, just know, I'm not going to go easy on you just because you're my classmate." I smirk.

"I wouldn't want it any other way." Karma says, devilishly.

"This is a little unnerving." says the boy with blue hair, sweat dropping at our little scene.

"Don't worry Nagisa, I won't try to scare her off." said Karma, a wide grin forms on his face.

"That makes it even more unsettling!" Nagisa exclaims.

"Ha! Like you could! Not much scares me!" I say, proudly.

Nagisa looks me incredulously and Karma's smirk grows even wider.

"Alright then. Hey Karasuma, you cool with this?" asks Karma, his knife twirling impatiently in his hand.

"I guess, just don't hurt each other." Karasuma warns, with some reluctance in his voice.

Karma puts himself into a ready position, and I do the same, studying his form to look for weak spots in his stance. I can tell he's studying me too since his eyes are flickering over my form.

"Ready, start." Karasuma says, his hand coming down like a referee.

Karma launches towards me first, his knife outstretched towards me. I easily dodged his attack, sending him stumbling past me. Karma continues to attack me, his knife stabbing and punching through the air as I avoid it.

"What are you? Chicken?! Can't fight back?" Karma jabs at me, trying to make me angry.

I just rolled my eyes and kept avoiding his attacks. I hear whispers going around the class saying things like "She's good" and "Karma doesn't stand a chance." He sideswipes and I use my own knife to block him and go in for the attack. Knocking the knife out of Karma's hand, I move into his personal space, touch his torso with my knife, and move out as fast as possible without it being too fast. Everyone's mouth dropped open and stare at me with disbelief.

"That's the end. Makoto struck first." Karasuma says, his handing coming down again, signaling the end of the match.

"Good match! That was fun! I haven't done something like that in a while!" I say, holding my hand out for Karma to shake.

"That was fun!" Karma grins, "I have to get better so I can beat you next time."

I laugh lightly and give his hand a form shake. Our eyes make contact with each other and I can just tell that we are going to be really good friends.

~Time Skip~

I sigh as I plop down onto my couch in the small living room that I have. Today went by so quickly, with me passing out today and fighting with Karma. It was fun and I had a blast. I decide to start on my homework, since I didn't have time to work on it in class. I pulled out all of the materials I needed when I heard a loud knock at my front door.

'Wonder who that could be?' I thought, walking to the door and looking through the peephole.

'What! No way!'

I open the door to reveal Koro-sensei waiting patiently outside.

"Hi Makoto. I just wanted to stop by and ask you a few questions if you don't mind." He says, staring at me with his small eyes.

"Yeah, sure." I say, gesturing him to come inside.

He slithers his way while I close the door behind him.

"I can make some tea or something if you'd like." I say politely.

"Thank you for the gesture but I assure you, this won't take long." He says.

"Well, then at least sit." I say, inviting Koro-sensei to sit on the couch.

"If you insist, I will."

He sits down and I put myself in the chair closest to the couch.

"I just wanted to welcome you to E Class. But I'm also very curious about something." He explains.

"What are you curious about Koro-sensei?" I inquire, tilting my head in a questioning fashion.

"Why did you drink Polonium? What made you so inclined to drink the bottle?" He asks, like he's talking to himself.

"Well…." I trailed off, trying to find the right words to say.

"Before I came here, I trained under a very intense teacher. He was very strict and uptight. He taught me very valuable lessons. He also told me that the world is a very dangerous place, especially for a teenage girl like me. So in order to know if I've gotten poisoned or roofied, he made sure I went through a training that specifically made sure what types of poison there are and for me to become immune to them." I told Koro-sensei, kind of stretching the truth just a tiny bit.

"That's very interesting Makoto. I want you to know," He says, laying a tentacle on my shoulder, "I'm glad you told me and I will be here to protect you from any sort of danger, so try not to worry that much about the things your mentor has told you, okay?"

"Yes, I'll make sure." I tell him, smiling at his gesture.

"Well, I'll be off, have a good rest of your evening." He tells me as I walk him to the door.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" I shout as Koro-sensei races off from my doorstep.

I close the door and sigh, my shoulders slump as I realized what I've just done. I lied to my teacher. I feel bad but it's the only way to protect my identity. Not trying to dwell on the past, I start getting ready for tomorrow, it's going to be a long night.

Hey y'all. I'm really sorry that I have not updated in forever. I've been very busy and to be honest, I kinda forgot about finishing this chapter. I'm going to try and update whenever I can, I'll probably beat myself up again if I miss a deadline. Please try to understand. I have a lot of things and problems I have to deal with right now, so adding one more thing to my plate will be hard. Thanks for being patient.
