Chapter 3: Karma Time

Another bright sunny day adorned on class 3-E. Now, class 3-E were in PE with their new PE teacher Karasuma. Karasuma chose to become E class's PE teacher to train E class in assassination and help them with their aim, strength and fighting abilities.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!" Shouts were heard and repeated on the oval coming from a bunch of students known as the 3-E class, the supposed 'misfits' of Kunugigaoka Junior High. Every number that was shouted out by all of E class came with a strike with their knives that were in their hands.

"Ah. The sounds of a choreographed exercise regimen echoing across the fields on a golden afternoon." Korosensei watched the E class members as he was holding a small flower in his tentacle. "So peaceful. So aware."

Karasuma, who was next to Korosensei observed the class with his sharp eyes. "Make those knives swing sharply. Treat every single move like a legit kill strike." Karasuma commanded over the counts. All of the E class students were starting to sweat from all of the effort they were putting into each of their swings.

"You're in the way here pal. Physical Education is my department now." Karasuma spoke sternly to Korosensei.

Korosensei bowed his head in sadness slightly. "But I'm lonely." Korosensei complained.

"Find something else to do then like I don't know," Karasuma pointed behind him, "there's a sandbox. Have a field day."

Korosensei started to cry pettily, travelled towards the sandbox, and sat down in it while making a small sand castle. "You don't have to be so insensitive. The kids liked it better when I was their gym coach anyhow."

Sugaya heaved a heavy sigh while resting his knife on top of his shoulder. "Yeah not so much." The whole class now stopped their movements. "No offence or anything, it is just when it comes to exercise you-"

"You set the bar kind of high." Sugino, that was standing next to Sugaya finished. All of the E class students remembered their first PE session with Korosensei.

"Alright." Korosensei started. "Let's try a simple jumping side to side manoeuvre." Korosensei lifted a tentacle. "Watch closely and I'll show you how it's done." Suddenly at top speed, Korosensei was moving side to side, which caused three blurred versions of him only to be visible.

"Are you kidding me?" Sugino, Maehara and Okajima yelled all together with wide-eyed shocked faces.

"Once you got the hang of it, throw in some cat's cradle into the mix." Korosensei threw in come cat's cradle.

"Wow, he's seriously good!" The boys yelled in unison again, impressed.

"Like we could keep up with that." Nakamura remarked with a sly smile, now back in the present.

"We're human beings you know. I for one think our coach should be as well." Sugino stated truthfully.

Korosensei let out an offended sound and went back to crying and he started to build a tower made out of rocks.

"Right!" Karasuma commanded, getting the students attention. "Back to work people."

"Can I ask an obvious question sir?" Asked Maehara from the front of the E class group. "Is there is an actual point to this training, should we be practising right in front of our target?" He finished.

"Whether killing or studying it's the same thing." Karasuma answered. "Drill the basics and they will serve you well."

'Okay.' Nagisa listened on while sticking that piece of information in her head.

"Isogai, Maehara. Step up." Karasuma asked the two males. Isogai and Maehara stepped up with their knives still placed in their palms. "I want you to try and tag me with those knives." Karasuma stated casually.

Isogai and Maehara looked at Karasuma with unsure faces. "Wait." Isogai again processed the information. "Like as a team, together?" He stated unbelievingly.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Maehara questioned Karasuma.

"The blades are harmless. They weren't designed to injure human beings." Karasuma loosened his tie. "Tell you what. Manage to hit me, and you can go home for the day."

Isogai and Maehara shared a look. "Um, okay." Isogai stated, still a bit unsure. Both Isogai and Maehara braced themselves. "Well, here goes nothing."

Isogai took the first swing straight towards Karasuma with his knife and Karasuma dodged it easily. "Come on." Karasuma taunted. Maehara clenched his teeth and went to go stab Karasuma. Karasuma dodged out of the way and grabbed onto Maehara's upper back and arm then pushed him away, making Maehara stumble. Isogai took another swing at Karasuma and he ducked under it easily while a moment later Maehara attempted another swing of his knife towards Karasuma, but he went out of the knife's pathway easily. Both Isogai and Maehara at the same time swinged their blades towards Karasuma to only be pushed away by him.

"See that kids?" Karasuma questioned to E class while dodging Isogai and Maehara's attacks. "Even with two students against me I can dodge their attacks in my sleep. They have got no technique." Isogai and Maehara clenched their teeth at that comment.

Nagisa looked at Karasuma in a mixture of awe and shock. 'Whoa.'

Isogai and Maehara ran towards Karasuma with determined expressions and swung their blades towards Karasuma. Karasuma caught both of the teenage males wrists and threw them both down to the ground with no effort. The boys grunted from the impact of the ground.

Karasuma stood up and looked down at the teenage boys. "If you can't land a hit against a guy like me, you haven't got a prayer against a target whose top speed is mach 20." Karasuma looked up at the class. "See, we have been sparring for half a minute and look." Everyone looked towards Korosensei. "He's had time to change clothes, make tea, and build a model of an Osaka Castle."

"That's so irritating!" Exclaimed Maehara in an annoyed voice.

Karasuma pulled both Isogai and Maehara up from the ground to their feet. "That's why we drill. When the whole class can hit me you have a shot." Karasuma fixed his tie back up again. "Do what I tell you as often as I tell you to do it, you'll become assassins." Karasuma turned back towards the rest of the class. "This isn't recess kids. From now on gym class will be about the basics. Stabbing, correct usage with fire arms, everything you need to succeed."

"Well okay." Sugino mumbled.

"Alright, that ought to do it for today." Karasuma concluded.

"Thank you, sir." All of the students bowed towards Karasuma and walked off into different groups.

Little did the students of E class know a tall and slender figure was standing on top of the steps that led down towards the oval. "Hm." The male figure hummed while observing the students that were scattered around. While the male observed the class, a blue-headed girl caught his eye. He eyed the blue-headed girl and a small but soft smile appeared on his face uncharacteristically. Soon that smile turned into a sly smirk.

Yada, Kurahashi and Hayami that was a girl with light orange hair and green eyes stood close together.

"This is so intense." Yada stated while blushing a small bit. "He's terrifying but cool at the same time." Little did they know, Korosensei heard what Yada said and let out an annoyed sound.

"I know. He wants you to hurt him, and he'll pat you on the head if you do it right." Kurahashi said.

"He's a good coach." Hayami admitted.

Korosensei had an annoyed expression on his face and turned to face Karasuma who was putting his blazer back on. "I know what this is." Korosensei started. "You're trying to take my place as their favourite teacher!" He accused Karasuma.

"Really?" Karasuma stated while facing away from Korosensei. "I'm here by assignment. Like it or not a part of you contract said, and I quote; all new hirers regarding E class are solely the priority of Kunugigaoka Academy." Karasuma quickly turned to face Korosensei and threw a knife at is head. In a flash though, Korosensei caught the knife with a handkerchief covering his tentacles. "And either way, this is not a popularity contest, it's my job. I'm here to help them kill you pal."

Korosensei took off his hat and adjusted it a bit. "Could you not call me that please? I'd prefer the name that my students gave me." Korosensei put his hat back on and looked at Karasuma with sharp eyes. "So that's Korosensei to you."

The bell rang, and all of the students started to walk towards their classroom building. Nagisa and Sugino were in front of all the other students. Nagisa reached up to feel if her small pigtail-like buns were coming out from the top of her head. When she realised they were not, she sighed in relief. Sugino gave her a confused expression, but she waved her hand to brush it off.

Sugino raised an eyebrow but then forgot the matter. "Ah. We've got a quiz in 6th period." Sugino complained.

Nagisa sent him an understanding smile. "Right. They should just let us go home after gym." Nagisa turned her head back around to see where she was walking but sharply halted when she saw a lean figure standing on top of the stairs. Sugino stopped when Nagisa suddenly did and looked at her to give her a confused expression. Nagisa ignored it and continued looking at the figure in front of her.

Standing on top of the stairs was a tall, slender male figure with crimson red hair and glowing mercury eyes with a smirk plastered on his face. Instead of the jumper that the students had to wear with their uniform, he wore a black blazer with no buttons done up, letting it flow through the wind. He had one hand inside his pocket while the other was holding a strawberry milk carton. "Nagisa, hey." The male said. "It sure has been a while." He stated while showing his sharp canine teeth.

Nagisa looked up at the male in awe and shock. "Karma." She stated softly. "Your back." She finished. The boy, now known as Karma gave Nagisa a small gentle smile but was soon replaced with his smirk again when he looked up further.

"Oh, hey." Karma walked down the steps and walked in between Sugino and Nagisa. When Karma passed by Nagisa, he looked at her straight in the eyes and she looked straight at his. Their eyes held some unknown emotions that were shared between each other. Karma kept walking and gently brushed his shoulder against Nagisa's as he passed her.

"That must be the notorious Korosensei." Karma continued while all of the students' eyes were following him. The students were already confused in why he was here and who he was, but what confused them more was the little moment he and Nagisa just shared. "Wow. He really does look like an octopus." Karma stopped when he was right in front of Korosensei.

Korosensei lifted up a tentacle. "Ah, Mr Akabane correct?" Korosensei realized. "I understand your suspension ends today. Welcome back. That said tardiness is a no-no." Korosensei's face turned purple and then back to its original colour.

Karma gave Korosensei an innocent smile with a short laugh. "It's kind of tricky getting back in the swing of things. Oh, and feel free to call me by my first name." Karma took out his hand form his pocket and held it out to Korosensei. "Anyway, I have heard some good things teach. Nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine. Should be a fun and educational year." Korosensei held out his tentacle to Karma's hand and attempted to give it a shake.

Once Karma grabbed a hold on his tentacle, the tentacle exploded with a small pop. Korosensei looked taken back and Karma took that as a chance to throw away his strawberry milk and get a knife out of his pocket to take a swing at Korosensei. Korosensei just in time dodged his attack and appeared a short distance away from Karma.

"Ah. You are fast, aren't you?" Karma stated slyly and then let out a small laugh. Karma looked down at his hand. "And who would have thought that these knives actually work? Just cut one up into striped and taped them on." Karma raised his hand up to show Korosensei the small striped of knife that was on his palm. "I'm surprised you fell for such a move. Pretty easy stuff, don't you think? I'm disappointed it only took that to catch you by surprise, but good jump, if you don't mind looking like a scaredy cat." Karma put both hands in his pockets and walked towards Korosensei. "What are you scared of me?"

Nagisa looked at Karma in awe. 'He hurt him. He actually hurt him.' Nagisa thought. 'That makes him the first, not that surprising to be honest.'

Korosensei's arm grew back as Karma was getting closer towards him. "I heard the call you Korosensei cause you're supposed to be unkillable." Karma halted in front of Korosensei and Korosensei leaned back a little from how close Karma was. Karma bent down a little to get right under and close to Korosensei's face. "Oh, come on. No way you can be this big of a pushover." Karma taunted. Korosensei's face was now turning a bright red.

Kayano leant over to Nagisa a bit while still watching what was going on in front of her. "Hey Nagisa, what kind of person is this Karma guy?" Kayano stated while not noticing Nagisa's look on her face when she kept eyeing Karma.

Nagisa tried to think of the best explanation. "Ah." Kayano looked over towards Nagisa. "He and I were in the same class for our first and second year. He was violent, so violent that they finally suspended him and then shifted him here. E class is where they send you when they don't know what else to do with you." While Nagisa kept talking, Karma leant away from Korosensei and started to walk back towards the stairs he came from. "The thing is under the circumstances he may end up a star student."

Kayano made a noise of confusion. "What do you mean?" Karma reached into his pocket for the very skinny knife he had and started to twirl it around and do different types of tricks with it.

"Weapons and blood are his passion." Nagisa continued while still eyeing Karma. "Trust me, if anyone can kill our teacher it's Karma."

Karma stopped playing with his knife and put it back in his pocket while hiding his eyes underneath his hair. 'Stick around next time Korosensei. I'll show you what it's like to be assassinated. You won't want to miss it.'

Karma then kept walking but slowed down his pace once he was near Nagisa. He leaned in next to her ear. "I'll see you later, Nagisa." Karma whispered to Nagisa.

Karma then went back to his original walking pace and Nagisa eyed Karma walking away up the steps. A small smile slipped past Nagisa's lips. 'See you later, Karma. You don't have any idea in what you're getting into.'


Class 3-E was now in their last period of school. All of the students were seated at their desks while trying to do a quiz, but a squelching noise distracted all of them and all groaned in annoyance. The squelching noise came from one of Korosensei's tentacles that was punching the wall making no damage at all.

Mimura turned his head towards Yada. "Um, what is he doing?" He questioned Yada in a hushed tone.

"I don't know, I think he is punching the wall." She whispered back while eyeing their yellow teacher.

"No, you're right." Isogai whispered. "Karma's smack-talk has seemed to have really touched a nerve."

Maehara leant over his desk to get a better look at what Korosensei was doing. "But what's the point of punching a wall if his tentacles are too soft to do any damage."

Nagisa silently noted down; '4. His punches are soft'.

"Okay that's enough! Could you stop that! We're trying to take a quiz here!" Okano yelled out to Korosensei. That caught Korosensei's attention.

"Sorry yes, absolutely." Korosensei stumbled across a few of his words.

"You sure you know what you're getting yourself into Karma?" Terasaka stated with a sly grin on his face, leaning back into his chair lazily. Muramatsu and Yoshida listened to what Terasaka had to say to Karma and his response. "The jellyfish is pretty pissed off at you."

Yoshida joined in the conversation. "You can't pay me enough to be in your shoes."

"If I was you I would have stayed home with a pillow over my head." Muramatsu also joined into the conversation.

Karma kept on his signature grin on his face and looked over to Terasaka. "Of course he's pissed. Who couldn't be if someone made an attempt on their life? Less the would-be assassins who screwed up and pissed themselves in the process."

Terasaka's eyes filled with a mixture of rage ad embarrassment and slammed his fist down on his desk. "I didn't piss myself!" Karma just turned his head back to the front. "That attitude is going to get your ass kicked!" Terasaka exclaimed.

Karma gave out a small hum and ignored what Terasaka had said. "Now I am thinking about it correctly, wasn't there another person involved." Karma looked back at Terasaka. "Who was it?"

Terasaka opened his mouth and was about to answer but then remembered the small exchange that happened between Karma and a certain blue-headed girl. Terasaka started to pale a small bit, knowing fully what the redhead was capable of.

"Quiet please!" Korosensei suddenly cut in. "No noise during a quiz!"

"Tell that to your tentacles." Mimura mumbled underneath his breath.

"Continue to talk and I will assume that you are cheating!" Korosensei ignore Mimura's comment.

Karma turned his head back to the front. "Sorry Korosensei, my bad. No worries though I've already finished." Karma lifted up his hand that held a strawberry flavoured gelato. "I'm just going to eat this gelato if that's okay."

"Not so fast!" Korosensei pointed a tentacle at Karma. "No eating in class!" Korosensei then took a closer look at the gelato. "Hey! That's the gelato I brought back from Italy yesterday!" Korosensei yelled. All of the student's expressions turned into disbelief and all thought 'seriously'.

Karma took a small lick of his gelato and lifted his head back up. "Oh? I'm sorry." Karma gave Korosensei an innocent smile. "My bad. I just saw it chilling in the faculty lounge."

"This won't do young man!" Korosensei continued to yell. "I flew through the coldest layer of the stratosphere to keep that delicious treat from melting!"

Karma smirked. "Yeah?" He tilted his head. "So, what are you going to do?" Karma took another lick of the gelato. "Hit me?"

Korosensei's face turned bright red. "Of course not. I'll simply have it back and finish what's left thank you very much." Another bang went off and Korosensei looked down at the floor with his face turning back to his normal shade of yellow. Korosensei saw a heap of BB's scattered all over the floor. "Anti-me BB's?" Korosensei exclaimed.

Karma got his gun quickly out of his pocket and tried to aim three shots at Korosensei that he successfully dodged. Karma let out a light laugh. "Wow, that's twice in one day teach." Korosensei lifted up one of his tentacles that was hurt and beads of sweat dripped down his head.

Karma stood up and pointed his gun at Korosensei. "I'm going to keep pulling the same tricks." Karma walked towards Korosensei with his gun still aimed at him. "Class will get interrupted, our grades will slip." Karma stopped when his gun was touching Korosensei's chest. "Let's be straight forward." Karma took the gun off Korosensei's chest and looked up at him. "If you want this to stop you can just kill me or anyone else in this class for that matter." Karma then lifted up the hand that still held the gelato, smashed it against Korosensei's chest, and twisted it. "You just got to let go of wanting us to see you as our teacher." Karma then stopped twisting the gelato and let go of it making the gelato spill all over the floor. "Give us a taste of your ugly side." Karma looked up at Korosensei with an evil gleam in his now golden eyes. "Or you can make peace with all of this, accept I'll be the one to kill you."

Karma walked past Korosensei with a sly smirk and tossed his quiz behind him and headed towards the door. Korosensei caught it with ease. "Here's my quiz, too easy." Karma opened the door and looked back to Korosensei. "See you. What do you say we play tomorrow?" With that, Karma walked out of the classroom.

'Karma's not afraid to go there.' Nagisa thought while eyeing Korosensei that was trying to get the gelato off from his outfit with a handkerchief. 'He knows exactly what buttons to push. Case and point, he drew a line in the sand Korosensei couldn't cross without changing the way we all saw him. It took nerve. It also took honing in on his target's weakness.' Nagisa moved her gaze to Karma that was walking away from the class building from the window nearby her. 'He's clever, he's manipulative, and he's ice cold. He sees what makes you tick and how to exploit it. If anyone can do this, it is him.


After the E class bell went, Korosensei was now flying through the air at his top speed. 'That boy.' Korosensei thought while gliding through the air. 'He's left me with no choice but to go buy another gelato.' Korosensei looked down at Karma's quiz results. 'He's sharp, deviously clever. Mustn't let him bait me. Mustn't give him the satisfaction of losing my temper and killing him. I am the teacher, he is the student.' Korosensei looked back up. 'Yes indeed. I'll have to be exceptionally careful with that one.'


At a nearby train station, there were two students from Kunugigaoka, Nagisa and Sugino.

"See you later Nagisa." Sugino called over from his shoulder, walking away from the train station.

"Bye! Have a good one." Nagisa called back with a small, gentle smile on her face while waving to Sugino. Nagisa dropped her hand and soon after she heard two annoying voices she didn't want to hear.

"Are you kidding me?" A chubby boy with dark-greenish hair stated smugly with a stupid grin on his face. "Is that Nagisa over there? Look at that girl, getting close to the E class dumbasses." That comment made Nagisa clench her teeth and fists.

"Ew, gross." A dark-haired boy with glasses stated that had large glasses. "Got to hand it to her. She has adapted to the crowd she's going to spend the rest of her life with." That comment also made an unknown fire dance in her eyes.

"Hey, did you hear the news?" The chubby male stated to his partner. "Now that his suspension is over, they shoved that Akabane nut over to E class."

"Dude, no kidding?" The male with the glasses answered. "I'd rather be dead then be stuck in a classroom with that freak."

That did it for Nagisa. When she was about to spin around to face towards them and give them a piece of her mind when a loud smash that sounded like a bottle being broken halted her, and the other two males in their tracks. The two males turned to where the smash was heard and jumped back with their faces turning pale.

"Seriously?" A sly but distinctive voice cut in. Karma lifted up the half-broken bottle in his hand. "I can help you out with that. It'd be messy, but real quick."

"I'd rather live thanks." The chubby male stuttered. "Run away!" Both of the males ran in the opposite direction.

Karma let out a satisfied noise and Nagisa turned to face Karma. "Like I'd actually do anything right?" He stated teasingly. 'I'm not going to risk another suspension for this once in a life time deal they're giving me in E class.' Karma walked closer to Nagisa. 'And maybe another reason as well.'

Karma stopped when he was in front of Nagisa. "Hey." Nagisa started, blinking surprisingly up at Karma.

"Yeah, hey Nagisa." Karma stated with a softer expression and tone. "Is it cool if I pick your brain for a sec?"

Nagisa stared up at Karma for few seconds but then shacked her head and smiled gently up at Karma. "Sure, no problem."

Karma returned the smile and both students walked further into the train station, scanned their cards and walked through the gates.

"Word is that you've been keeping notes on the octopus." Karma talked over his shoulder.

Nagisa fiddled with her bad strap that was resting on her shoulder. "Um well, yeah. I kind of have." Nagisa stopped when she was standing next to Karma.

"Does he hate that nickname?" Karma continued and started walking again. "Us calling him octopus I mean?"

Nagisa followed Karma closer to the platform. "Now that you mention it," Nagisa continued, "whenever he draws himself it's always an octopus. That's also the image of the characters he plays in each video game." Nagisa started to sweat. "There is also this thing he does in the sandbox. He digs up a large hole that is big enough for him to fit inside it, goes in the hole and fills it back up so only his face is visible. After that whole process is done he whispers 'octopus trap'." Karma stopped walking once he reached the edge of the platform. That caused Nagisa to stop behind him. "So, no. I don't think he minds at all. In fact, I think it's like his personal avatar or whatever, you know? He loves it."

Karma had a fixated expression on his face mixed in with a mischievous smile on his face. "Does he now?" Karma stated slyly. "That's good." Karma lifted his hand to his chin and Nagisa lifted her eyebrows at Karma. "Oh, this is going to be freaking epic."

"I know that look. You're cooking up something really dark." Nagisa accused.

Karma closed his eyes, his lips turning up into a smirk. "I might be." Karma dropped his hand from his chin. "It's fun right?" Karma opened his eyes back up and turned around to face Nagisa. "I was into this when I thought he was just a monster but, now that I know what his personality is like."

A train horn was heard and a train past trough the train station that caused Karma's hair to be thrown the way the train was going. Karma also had a wide, crazed smile plastered on his face and his eyes widened in a golden colour. "I finally get to kill an honest and good teacher." Karma started to laugh. "I've been dreaming of this, ever since my last teacher went and died." He spoke harshly.

Nagisa watched Karma with widened eyes with her hair also flowing through the wind, and a long strand of blue hair set free from her pigtail-like buns.


A new day began in E class, and Korosensei was looking down at his purse sulking. "My gelato funds, gone. Pinches right out from under my nose." Korosensei eyed the 100-yen coins that were now only in his purse. "With pay day an eternity away. Guess I'll have to make my own now."

Korosensei continued down the hall and opened the classroom door, walking into the classroom. "Good morning boys and girls." Korosensei looked up at the class. He noticed all of the students had solemn expressions on their faces. "Why the long faces?" Korosensei eyed the classroom. "Has something-" Korosensei cut himself off when he saw an octopus on his desk with a knife straight through its head.

"Oops! That's on me." A sly voice stated smoothly. "Yeah, totally thought it was you. Innocent mistake." Karma smirked. "I stabbed it, so I suppose I should get rid of it?"

Korosensei heaved a sigh and picked up the impaled octopus. "Yes, you should." Korosensei headed forwards towards Karma's desk.

Karma played with a new knife he had gotten behind his back. 'Bring it on Korosensei. No worries, I don't plan on killing you physically yet. It's more fun to watch your spirit die first.'

Korosensei suddenly stopped walking, about a metre away from Karma's desk. Korosensei lifted up a few of his tentacles and they turned into sharp drill-like blades. Karma's expression turned from sly, to surprised. Korosensei for a split second disappeared and then reappeared with an active missile, holding onto it with a tight grip so it didn't fly away. All of this commotion caused surprised gasps among the other E class students.

"Observe this Karma my boy; the versatility of these tentacles, and the fire power of this missile taken from the defence force." Korosensei's tentacles started to move around the place, picking up different ingredients and cooking wear. Korosensei then started cooking. "If you think I'm going to let the new kid get away with murder, think again."

Suddenly a hot piece of takoyaki was shoved into Karma's mouth. Karma spat the piece of takoyaki out and wiped his mouth on the sleeve of his blazer.

"Don't you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day?" Korosensei added while holding a plate full of takoyaki. "Your completion tells me you haven't eaten, so please help yourself to some of this delicious takoyaki." Korosensei picked up another piece of takoyaki and held it out to Karma. "I insist."

Karma left his mouth on his sleeve and glared up at Korosensei with a peeved expression.

"You see I'm a giver, I take care of things. Hungry students, would-be assassins, troubled teens. Every attempt on my life is an opportunity for me to play my part." Korosensei smiled larger and takoyaki appeared inside of his mouth, lined up near his teeth. "So by all means, keep at it."

Karma finally let down his arm and looked up at Korosensei with his teeth clenched into a strained smirk, showing how annoyed he truly was.

Korosensei raised his tentacles. "By the end of the day if your body and mind aren't aglow with health and knowledge, I haven't done my job."


After all of the drama in homeroom settled down, E class went straight into their first period; math. Korosensei was writing equations up on the board and explaining how to figure them out. "As you can see; whatever we do this number remains. Now I know the concept of indivisibility is a beast, but if its fangs frighten you I have a method that will help you figure this out easily."

As Korosensei continued explaining the equation, Karma had a crazed smirk plastered on his face while eyeing Korosensei. Karma raised his hand to his blazer pocket quietly and lifted out his gun. Karma dropped his smirk for a concentrated expression. He then aimed at Korosensei and went to pull the trigger on his gun.

"Karma." Korosensei raised his head up from the board to look straight at Karma. "It takes an anti-me BB far too long to reach its mark." Korosensei lifted up Karma's gun.

Karma still had the same expression and movement in place from when he attempted to fire the gun. Karma looked down at his hand, his jaw dropped the slightest bit, and his eyes widened.

"I had time on my hands." Korosensei also lifted up a nail kit. Karma opened up his fingers and looked at the new art on his nails. "Hope you don't mind I prettified yours." Karma clenched his teeth and snarled quietly with his eye twitching.

Karma suddenly jumped out of his chair, rushed over to Nagisa's desk and dragged Nagisa to her feet by her arm to storm out of the classroom. Nagisa kept her mouth shut as he dragged her down the E class' hall and led her to the infirmary. Karma slid the door open, let go of Nagisa's arm and sat down on one of the infirmary chairs.

Karma raised his eyes up to Nagisa's. "Can you get this shit off?" Karma seethed between his teeth, lifting up his newly decorated nails.

Nagisa nodded her head once. "Yeah, sure."

Nagisa walked to the opposite end of the infirmary from where Karma was sitting and rummaged through the different draws. Nagisa found a bottle of nail polish remover and a small cotton ball. Nagisa closed the draws she opened, straightened her back and walked back towards Karma.

When Nagisa was right next to Karma, she pulled out a spare chair next to the infirmary bed and sat down opposite Karma. Nagisa then opened the nail polish remover and tipped a fair amount onto the cotton ball. Nagisa put the bottle of nail polish remover down and held out her hand for Karma's hand.

When Karma didn't lift up his hand, Nagisa lifted her eyes up to Karma's face. Karma was looking down at his lap deep in thought with a pissed off expression on his face.

Nagisa furrowed her eyebrows at Karma's expression. "Karma-"

Karma cut Nagisa off. "Nagisa. I know what you're going to say; you won't be able to do this on your own. Just watch me Nagisa." Karma clenched his teeth and closed his eyes tightly.

Nagisa's expression hardened a small bit. "Do you want this removed or not?" Nagisa pointed down towards Karma's painted nails.

Karma opened his eyes again and his expression softened. He slowly held out his hand and Nagisa went straight to work at removing the nail polish.

After a few moments Karma whispered, "Sorry."

Nagisa for a moment stopped and looked up at Karma. Her expression softened and went back to her task. "It's fine." She whispered, a bit surprised from that one word Karma said.


Home economics came by a few hours later in fourth period. The whole class were split up into different small groups and were all around tables trying to make soup. Korosensei walked around all of the tables, observing all of the students. Korosensei stopped when he was at Fuwa and Karma's station. "Let's see now." Korosensei bent down to have a closer look at their cooking. "How are the two of you going Fuwa?"

"I'm, not totally sure." Fuwa looked up at Korosensei with a concerned expression. "It's got a bizarre tangy flavour to it for some reason."

"Let's give it a taste." Korosensei lent down, got a spoon, dipped it into the pot and took a sip.

Karma walked closer to the two of them. "Maybe it'll be easier if you just start over from scratch." Both Fuwa and Korosensei's eyes went to look up at Karma. "Why not, toss it out?" Karma gave them both an innocent smile and tossed the pot of soup away with a slap of his hand. The soup went up into the air and Karma quickly tried to take a swing of his knife at Korosensei.

Korosensei stayed in his same position after blurring for half a second. "We wear an apron in Home Economics Karma." Karma looked down to see that he had a bright pink apron on with flowers and a giant heart in the middle of his chest. The apron was also paired with a pink fabric hat. Karma blushed in embarrassment once he saw his outfit. The whole class was now looking in Karma's direction with wide eyes and a few people had smug expressions.

"Oh, and don't worry, the soup is fine." Korosensei continued. "I siphoned it out of thin air and put it back in the pot. I also added a dash of sugar." Korosensei lifted up the pot towards Fuwa and she had a taste of the soup.

Fuwa's eyes widened in delight. "That's exactly what it needed!" She smiled up to Korosensei.

Karma heard a chuckle from a station right in the corner of the classroom. "Cute outfit." Chuckled Muramatsu. Karma just clenched his teeth and glared at Korosensei with a blush still adorned softly on his cheeks.


'It's no use.' Nagisa thought when they continued into their fifth period; Japanese. 'Korosensei has weaknesses, we all do. He screws up every now and then.' Nagisa continued to think while half listening to the passage Korosensei was reading. 'His speed drops to human levels whenever he's flustered, sure. But Karma's been so relentless with his surprise attacks,"

Nagisa moved her gaze from her page to where Karma was sitting. Korosensei was right next to Karma and when Karma reached into his pocket for his knife, Korosensei put a tentacle on Karma's forehead. Karma looked up at Korosensei in surprise and annoyance.

Korosensei looked down at Karma. "Even as I was thinking this the red frog, having failed again," Korosensei started to do Karma's hair with all different types of products, "was making its way back. I was starting to get bored with it."

'He has Korosensei on high alert.' Nagisa continued to think while eyeing Karma's unbelieved expression. 'That means no dice.'


After class ended for the day, Karma was sitting and biting his now clean nails on top of a long, broken branch that hung off a cliff nearby the E class building. Karma was deep in thought, looking down at the landscape below him. What snapped Karma out of his thoughts was a familiar aura of a blue haired girl.

Nagisa approached the tree he was sitting on and stopped when she was near the ledge of the cliff. "Come on Karma. I'm telling you not to worry about it, we'll do it together as a group." Nagisa tried to reason with a small and gentle smile on her face. "You can have the sneakiest, most full proof plan in the world ready to go, but if Korosensei has got his eye on you, forget it. He's not like other teachers."

That last comment made Karma raise his head and stop biting his nails. "Other teachers, huh? No." Karma started to remember what happened in second year.

"I'm with you 100% Akabane." Karma and Nagisa's old teacher stated to Karma with a large grin on his face while walking with Karma. "Yes you've had problems, yes you have issues with respecting authority." The teacher started to stop walking which made Karma stop also. "But you're absolutely in the right, without a question. I stand by you."

That last comment made Karma smile a small bit.

"You don't understand." Karma's bangs covered his eyes but soon uncovered them with a smirk on his face. "I want to do it on my own. Let me ask you, would it tick you off to die in some random place?" Nagisa's smile dropped when she knew why Karma was acting this way.

"Oh Karma." A sing-song voice of their teacher stated. Both students moved their gazes towards Korosensei who was approaching the two of them near the cliff. "I feel like tacking exceptionally good care of you today." Green and yellow stripes appeared on Korosensei's face. "Keep trying to kill me if that tickles your fancy. I certainly don't get tired of spiffing you up."

Karma made an amused sound and stood up from his spot on the branch. "Just so we're on the same page here. You pretty much consider yourself a teacher above everything else?" That made Nagisa eye Karma, knowing he was up to something, something not good.

Korosensei nodded, now with his face his normal yellow colour. "That's right."

"Cool." Karma drawled out. "You wouldn't think twice about putting your life on the line to save a student?"

Korosensei eyed Karma. "What sort of teacher would I be if I didn't?"

"That's awesome." Karma muttered. "Good to know." Karma aimed his gun right at Korosensei with a smirk plastered on his face. "So, I can kill you." Karma suddenly leaned back and fell from the branch and started falling towards the ground. "Knew there had to be a way."

Nagisa's eyes widened in shock and fear. Nagisa clenched her teeth and ran to the edge of the cliff, dropping to her knees once she was at the edge, looking over at Karma's falling figure. "Karma!" She yelled loudly with tears threatening to come out.

'What's it going to be teach?' Karma thought while he was still falling, keeping his aim up towards the sky. 'You going to swoop down to save me and get shot in the process, or are you going to be the sort of teacher that lets one of your kids die?' Karma let out a small laugh. 'Whoa. That crap they say about your life flashing before your eyes is true.'

Karma was holding a top student from his class against the wall with Karma's hand on his forehead. Next to them both was a 3-E member, sitting down on the floor watching Karma with a disbelieving gaze.

Karma faced the class 3-E member. "I think he's learned his lesson."

"3-E?" Karma stated with a sorry expression. "The one out in the sticks? Dude that sucks. Still, don't let anyone give you lip over it. I have someone that I know well going there next year and I said the same thing to her." Karma turned to face the male that was being held against the wall by Karma when he stated something. "What? I'm not the bad guy here. All I did was put a bully in his place. Little jerk had it coming."

A small while later, Karma got called to his and Nagisa's teacher's office. "No damnit Akabane. Anyway you slice it you're clearly in the wrong."

The student that Karma was holding by the forehead a while ago was next to the teacher with his arm in cast and his head bandaged up heavily with an injured leg. The teacher had a furious expression on his face. "Are you out of your mind or are you just stupid?" The teacher yelled. "What possessed you into attacking your class's star pupil like a bad dog and thinking that I'll let it aside?"

"But, sir. He was-" Karma tried to reason with the teacher in a slightly shaky voice.

The teacher continued to cross his arms and glare at Karma. "What? Talking badly about the drags? Good for you, injuring someone on principal. This young man happens to have a future. If this interferes with his exams it's all over my head."

'He said he would stand by me.' Karma thought bitterly. 'So much for that I guess.'

The teacher's skin started to peel off little by little revealing his skull slowly.

'Damn. I'm totally going to die.' Karma thought back in the present.

The teacher's face started to peel even more rapidly and his voice started turning deeper into a more demonic tone. "I've been turning a blind eye on account of your grades, but you've tried my patients once too often. Throw a monkey wrench into my career and all bets are off. I'm not shaming you any more."

'This is it. This is how it's going to go down.' Karma continued to think, clenching his fists and teeth.

The teacher now had no skin left on his face and now his voice only sounded demon, not human. "The good news is I've filed the paperwork toward your transformation this afternoon. Best thing for all involved really, but the bad news is that you'll be commencing third year in E class. You'll be happy with that I guess, since your little pathetic bitch Shiota will be there."

That last comment made Karma snap into a terrifying rage and all he could see was black and the terrified look on his old teacher's face.

'Son of a bitch screwed me over. Like hell I would also let that fucker talk shit about her.' Karma was now walking out of the teacher's office with a slow pace and his eyes golden, filled with pure rage. The teacher behind him was lying on the ground, with a terrified expression eyeing Karma. His desk was also cracked in the middle and was trapping the teacher as well. 'So that's it. He's dead to me now.'

After that memory was finished, another memory played before Karma's eyes, back when Nagisa and Karma were in the third term of first year.

"Karma! Look!" Karma turned around and his expression broke out into a small smile once he saw a familiar blue-headed female running his way, waving her hand enthusiastically which held a test paper in her hand. Instead of her bun-like pigtails that she wore in E class, she had her long, waist length hair free from any hair ties.

"Hey, what's up Nagi?" Karma eyed the girl as she caught up to him.

Nagisa stopped running once she was in front of Karma. She bent down and rested her hands onto her knees, catching her breath. A second later she straightened herself up and gave Karma a large smile.

Nagisa showed Karma the test paper that was for English. "Look!" Nagisa stated enthusiastically. "I got 86% on my test today, all thanks to you!"

Karma eyed the test paper with a smile on his face. He looked up at Nagisa. "It was nothing Nagi." Karma then lifted his hand up to pat her gently on the head.

Nagisa looked up at Karma with a pout on her face. "It wasn't nothing! You helped me, so I'll do something for you no matter what it is, okay?" Nagisa then frowned once she saw Karma's evil expression. "But no costumes! That pacifically means any maid costumes! Something serious for a change."

Karma dropped his evil expression and sighed. He was about to shake his head but then he saw Nagisa's eyes start to cloud with tears. His breath hitched. "Hey!" He looked awkwardly away. "No crying. You know I can't stand the waterworks."

"Please." Nagisa drawled out, making her eyes cloud over more.

Karma sighed and then clenched his eyes shut. "Okay, fine." He reopened his eyes and looked at Nagisa straight in the eyes. "I don't need you to do something for me at the moment, but in the future, I'll figure out something, okay?"

That made Nagisa stop making her eyes water. She blinked up at him and smiled brightly. "Okay, deal."

Karma quickly snapped out of the memory. 'What are you waiting for Korosensei?" Karma thought with a crazed smirk paired with wide, golden eyes. 'Let's do this. You either die for real or I kill your reputation.'

A sudden flash of yellow appeared and a yellow net appeared behind Karma, catching him from his fall. Karma let out a surprised and breathy sound once he felt the impact of the net. Karma dropped his crazed expression for a shocked and confused one, arms out wide seemingly stuck to the strange web-like net.

"Well done." A familiar voice talked underneath Karma. Karma lifted his eyes up to try to look behind him while he also tried to catch his breath. "A splendidly premeditated assassination attempt. Full marks!" Karma noticed that his arms and legs were spread out like a starfish, but still didn't move a mussel, only listen to Korosensei. "Neat huh? I knew your body couldn't take being plucked out of freefalling at the speed of sound, and if I moved any slower you would of shot me."

Karma started to snap out of his shock and started to try sitting up from the web but was failing miserably due to how sticky the yellow web was. Korosensei appeared on Karma's right and Karma moved his eyes to watch Korosensei. "What a tangled and sticky web we weave, ey?"

Karma clenched his eyes shut while still trying to sit upward. "What the hell!" Karma exclaimed out of annoyance. "Is there anything these tentacles aren't capable of?"

Korosensei moved under the web he made out of his tentacles and popped up at Karma's left side. "Can't shoot me now, can you?" Korosensei teased and gave out his signature laugh, and Karma stopped struggling.

Karma glared up at Korosensei and kept his gaze to where he was. He was suddenly gone from the left but then heard Korosensei's voice coming from the right side of him. "Oh Karma." Korosensei drawled out. Karma moves his gaze back to the right to look Korosensei in the eyes. "For future reference; students do not die on my watch, ever." The last comment Korosensei stated made Karma's eyes widen, mixed with shock and the tiniest bit of awe. "Take that to heart for the next time you choose to jump."

Karma eyed Korosensei's expression for any trace of dishonesty. When Karma found no trace of dishonesty, he rested his head back onto the web Korosensei made and showed a defeated smile. 'I got nothing.' Karma closed his eyes. 'Un-freakin'-believable. He won't die, the teacher in him especially.'

A small moment later, Korosensei placed Karma back at the top of the cliff where Nagisa was. Nagisa wasn't sitting over the ledge anymore, looking down at where Karma fell. She was standing up straight with her bangs covering her eyes with a serious expression on her face. "I don't get it." She started, with her voice calm. Karma moved his gaze over towards her when he heard her voice. His eyes widened a small bit once he saw how serious Nagisa's expression was. He never saw Nagisa that serious. "How where you so calm the whole time?"

Karma quickly put on a lazy expression. "Eh, no big." He started casually. "What really sucks is that was my best bet. Nothing else I can come up with even touches it."

Korosensei made a disappointed sound that made Karma's gaze look at Korosensei. "Out of ideas already?" Korosensei lifted up different kinds of beauty products and accessories. "But I had a beauty regimen just lined up for you." Korosensei gave Karma a cheeky smirk. "Come on, no way you can be this big of a pushover." Korosensei mimicked Karma.

Karma clenched his teeth and his eyebrow twitched. 'I still feel like killing something.' Karma quickly replaced his expression with a lazy smile and stood up from his sitting position. 'Except, it's different this time somehow.' Karma lifted his arm to give Korosensei thumbs up. "No worries teach." He put down his arm. "You're still dead meat."

A chime of bells went off and Korosensei's face turned orange. "That's the spirit. Never give up. Seems my tender loving care has paid off."

While the conversation between Karma and Korosensei was going on, Nagisa lifted her head up so her bangs didn't cover up her eyes and gave a very convincing smile.

Karma started to walk towards the hill that went back down to the main campus. Karma was throwing up and catching a very familiar looking purse in his hand. "Well, let's head back Nagisa." Karma stated to Nagisa. "We can get something to eat along the way."

Korosensei followed Karma with his gaze and let out a yelp once he recognised the purse. "Excuse me, that's my purse!" Korosensei exclaimed.

Karma stopped walking and turned around to Korosensei. "Come on tech. You've got to stop leaving stud unattended I the faculty lounge."

"Give it back!" Korosensei continued with a demanding tone.

Karma gave Korosensei an innocent smile. "Here you go." He threw the purse towards Korosensei.

Korosensei hurriedly caught the purse with a desperate expression. "Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie." Korosensei repeated. He opened his purse in a flash and his eyes widened. He pointed to his purse. "Hey, this is empty." Korosensei stated awkwardly.

"Well there wasn't much there to begin with. Call it a donation." Karma smiled.

Korosensei made a pitiful expression and started yelling at Karma. "A donation? A donation!"

Nagisa observed the conversation with an amused smile. 'Every time one of us goes for the kill we miss the mark, but some of us are better off.' She thought while eyeing Karma giving Korosensei an innocent smile. 'That's the way it goes in our assassination classroom.' Nagisa ran towards Karma and Korosensei. 'I can't wait to see how we try to kill our teacher tomorrow.' Nagisa thought excitedly.

"I think that's enough of that Korosensei." Nagisa spoke with a smile on her face as she walked next to Karma. "See you tomorrow sir." With that, Karma and Nagisa turned around and started to walk away from Korosensei.

Korosensei gave a knowing smile. "See you later." Korosensei gave out an evil laugh.

When Karma and Nagisa were back on the pathway towards the main campus, Nagisa dropped her smile for the serious expression she wore before with her bangs again covering her eyes. Nagisa suddenly stopped walking and gripped onto Karma's wrist, causing him to stop also.

Karma looked behind him and saw Nagisa's serious expression. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Nagisa?"

Nagisa clenched her jaw and her grip tightened on Karma. "Don't-" Her voice cracked and started to waver. She lifted up her head and Karma widened his eyes at her expression.

Nagisa had tears swimming in her eyes, on the verge of trailing down her cheeks and her chin was wobbling slightly. "Don't you dare do that ever again. You hear me?"

Karma's eyes softened, and he gave her a soft smile. He released Nagisa's grip on his wrist and rested his hand atop of Nagisa's head. "I won't. Okay?"

Nagisa looked for dishonesty in his eyes and when she found none, she lifted up her hands to rub her eyes. Once Nagisa dropped her hands by her sides again she looked up at Karma with a big smile on her face. "Good."

Karma gave a small nod and dropped his hand from her head and the pair continued to walk down the steep hill.
