Sparkle9510 : Your review motivated me to update faster so thank you!
The students stared wide-eyed at Nagisa.
Nagisa just stood there, with his usual smile on his face, as if the fact everyone gawking at him was normal.
Everyone was speechless when a very feminine Nagisa had just came out of nowhere and he easily greeted them as if there was no problem at all.
Screech!
All eyes turned wary when Karma stood up from his chair and walked towards the still smiling Nagisa until he was directly in front of him.
Without warning, he punched him.
His action seemed to shock everyone because they started shouting and some of them even made a move to restrain him.
But they were taken back when Nagisa had easily dodged the punch with the smile still etched.
"Good grief Karma-kun. Can't you solve anything without violence?" Nagisa spoke with a playful exasperation in his voice.
Karma grinned. "So it's really you, Nagisa-kun. Gomen, ne. I had to make sure," Karma said casually but right where Nagisa was right in front of him, he could clearly see the hard glint behind his eyes.
That was when Karma punched him again. But instead of dodging, Nagisa stopped the incoming fist with his hands. He was slightly pushed back from the force.
"Looks like you're still not satisfied with the fight," Nagisa said dryly but still the smile remained. Karma playfully stuck out his tongue before he withdrew his hand and retreated back to his seat.
"Nurufufu~ Now that the welcome exchange is over, Nagisa-kun wants to tell everyone something," Korosensei grinned. At this, all students stared at him in incredulity.
"YOU CALL THAT A WELCOME EXCHANGE?!"
Nagisa, who was unfazed by the shouting students and the cowering teacher, held out his hand in a stop gesture. Every occupant in the room felt a sudden shiver ran down their spines and immediately quieted down. Even the teachers held a slightly surprised expression.
"Everyone, because I am not longer in Class E, I won't be assassinating Korosensai but!" Nagisa's voice was sharp when he saw some of them were ready to protest.
"If for some reason Korosensai is not killed on the day of graduation which is the same day as he will explode, I will kill him. So for the rest of these 2 months, I will not do anything to harm him in any way until the date of the graduation," Nagisa said firmly as he stared at his former classmates.
"Don't mess with me! Who gave you the right to tell us what to do! Not when you suddenly left us without a single word! And you think that you can come back here like nothing happened and order us around?!" Terasaka glared angrily at the smiling blunet.
"And what the hell are you wearing, bastard!? Is that your new hobby since being friends with those shitty main campus students?!" Terasaka shouted, livid with fury when that damned smile did not disappear on Nagisa's face.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye.
Nagisa was suddenly in front of Terasaka and he was terrified to silence when an image of an imaginary snake was coiled around him, squeezing him so painfully that he couldn't breathe when he saw those piercing azure eyes staring at him with that same unnerving smile.
"Terasaka-san, please try to control your temper. Your hot-headness is the reason why people take advantage of you," Nagisa said softly but the words were heard clearly by everyone.
When Terasaka didn't speak, Nagisa turned back to face everyone.
"Recess is almost over. I have to go now. Goodbye."
So with the smile never leaving my face, I casually left the wooden class.
Nobody tried to stop me because even Korosensei was speechless.
They should have known that nothing would be the same.
Karma hated to admit that even he was affected by that unnerving smile. It was then he realised why that smile had haunted Takaoka all those months ago. Both eyes and smile that were filled with such intense bloodlust that could anyone's blood freeze.
Karman's eyes narrowed.
That was not Nagisa.
Something happened to him. That much was obvious. But Karma couldn't shake off the unease feeling when he saw the girl's uniform that he wore.
Somehow, it felt foreboding.
That's why, as he lined up at the in front of his class, he tried to search for Nagisa while obviously ignoring the useless principal talking on the stage. Before, he always hated these once a month assembly but just this one time, it proved to be useful.
'Maybe this school isn't as useless as he thought,' Karma thought to himself when he spotted blue hair in contrast to the normal black and brown hair around him at Class A.
Karma vaguely heard the words 'exams' and 'high school' and some other worthless gibberish before the principal dismissed them. Ever since the final second term exams, nobody had tried to openly make fun of them anymore. Karma immediately walked towards the blue haired boy.
Karma made a mental note that Nagisa was wearing the same girl's uniform before he caught his wrist. Nagisa didn't even bother to look at him when he spoke,
"What's wrong, Karma-kun? We'll be late for class if we don't hurry."
For some reason, Karma felt deep hatred when he heard that soft feminine voice. Although Nagisa's voice was never deep and masculine to begin with, it was never this gentle and soft. Karma mentally shrugged it off before he said bluntly,
"What the hell happened?"
Around him, students were keeping their distance from both of them. Nobody dared to glance a second time when they saw the red-haired devil. Most of them pitied the blue haired 'girl' that was undoubtly in trouble. Because Akabane Karma always equal to trouble.
Nagisa finally turned and faced him, forcing him to release his grip on his wrists. And with that smile that he came to detest, Nagisa answered,
"The answer will come in 2 more weeks."
Then, his eyes darted to his right, making Karma unconsciously to do the same. But by the time he realised he was tricked, he had completely slipped away into the crowd. With his sharp eyes, Karma scanned the crowd for any blue hair and sighed when he couldn't see any.
The hall cleared after a while but Karma stayed back until there was only one student left aside from him. Someone who was clearly waiting for him.
Asano Gakushu.
Karma lazily grinned as he drawled out,
"You want to ask about Nagisa-kun?"
"Shioto-san."
All eyes were directed at Nagisa when the teacher called out. Through his line of vision, it was obvious some of them was sneering at him.
"Can you please answer question 10? But it's alright if you can't. You are a former Class E. I do not expect much from you, especially since English is a very difficult for students like you," the teacher mocked him with a malicious smile. At this, some students openly laughed at him.
Nagisa ignored them all and easily answered with an even voice,
"'O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love... And I'll no longer be a Capulet.' This verse shows that Juliet is asking Romeo to disobey his father and refuse the name of Montague so they can be together. However, if he refuses, then she will do so herself and refuse her own name of Capulet as it is the only way for them to be together."
The whole class including the teacher was left speechless. Nobody expected him to be able to recite the verse so flawlessly. Nobody expected him to be able to answer it in full English. And certainly nobody expected him to do all that with a perfect English accent.
"Thank you, Shiota-san. Now, Akama-san please..." Nagisa immediately tuned out when the teacher called out another student. The other students were also shaking off their shocks and focused back at their own books but Nagisa still could feel the occasional glances.
Nagisa knew that the petty teacher would not say even a word of a praise as doing so would acknowledge him. And he knew they will never acknowledge him.
Not until he gave them undeniable proof of his worth.
Nagisa smiled slightly when his thoughts wandered to Bitch-sensei, the one responsible for his fluent accent.
The school bell rang for break and the students rushed out for the cafeteria.
"Shiota-san?"
Nagisa lifted his head in acknowledgement when he heard Asano calling him.
"Yes, Asano-kun?"
"Do you need any help with the studies? It seems there is a difference with the teaching styles between Class A and Class E," Asano offered with his usual smile.
Nagisa smiled back.
"I appreciate the offer, Asano-kun. I hope it's not a burden."
Asano shook his head but his eyes were still fixed on Nagisa.
"No problem at all. Why don't we meet at the library after school?"
Predictably, the library was completely empty expect for two Class A students. A small pile of Science books was neatly stacked together as Asano was currently marking one book while Nagisa was doing some exercise with the other. Checking over his work, Asano was slightly impressed. He would have never thought that Nagisa was a former Class E with his detailed and complicated answers.
"Your ability to answer these difficult questions is quite impressive, Shiota-san. But I do wonder why you transfer in our class all of the sudden seeing as all of your friends are in Class E," Asano remarked casually when Nagisa received another full mark in one of the set of question.
Nagisa didn't even lift his head from the book when he answered,
"It's because I am still not satisfied enough with my scores. Class A can ensure me that I can be higher than I am now currently."
Asano hummed in agreement.
"But it still does not answer the question as to why you are dressed like that."
Asano paid close attention on Nagisa's face for any change in expression but there was none.
"It's a trivial matter. Besides, I have already gotten your father permission to wear this," he answered and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
Asano rose his eyebrow.
"That is true Shioto-san. However, do you not care about the opinions of the teachers and students? You must be aware that people will be judging you especially when you had transferred from Class E to Class A. They will condemn you, more so with your attire. And I am quite sure you will need some form of their approval if you want to continue to stay in Class A," Asano stated.
It seems Asano finally caught Nagisa's attention when he turned to face him.
And smiled.
"Asano-kun, it's a pity to inform you that you will not be able to manipulate me as easily as the others. I am full aware that you are extracting information from me but just as I've told Karma-kun,"
Nagisa lowered his head and through his bangs, stared right into Asano's face. Asano was frozen onto the spot when an image of an imaginary snake was staring right in front of him before it opened its jaws to reveal two sharp fangs.
"The answer will come in 2 more weeks."
The snake disappeared and a light chuckle was emitted from Nagisa before he returned to his work. As soon as the snake disappeared, Asano clenched his chest in an attempt to calm his too fast beating heart.
Slightly unnerved, he continued to mark the rest of the book.
But he still couldn't help but glance at the seemingly content and innocent expression.
It was clear that everyone wanted to know the answer.
But none of them have realized yet.
Slowly but surely, I am falling in a darkness where none could save me.
I'm really sorry if the plot is painfully slow. But it gets better, I swear!
