Chapter 17

BANG

Chika feel her phone vibrates inside her pocket. "Now!" Ritsu's voice commanded. She push the stick shift. The engine roars. Wind blow over her face as hair as the boat move forward. It didn't take long until the rope attached on the back of the boat pull along a portion of the chapel's wall. Similar cracking sounds can be heard amidst the engine sound and the crashing waves. The others must have successfully tear down the other three sides. Chika whip her head around to see her other ten classmates emerged from the water. Water gushing out from beneath the flyboards. When they huddled close together, a water dome is formed. Through the gaps, Chika can see figures darting around. Must be the seven winners. She can hear the barrage of bullets. The second cage. Kurahashi-san's boat make a turn.

Pweeet pweeet pweeet pweeeeeeeet

The dolphins jump out from the water, splashing around. The splashes help minimise the gaps before Koro-sensei take advantage of them. Chika park her speed board before pulling out her rifle. All boat drivers must be prepared to shoot Koro-sensei in case he slipped away. The swaying boat made it difficult... But no, she can't let that get in her way! The gap is getting smaller and smaller... Until... Something emerged from the water. Hayami-san! Chiba-san must be on the other side-

BANG

Did they get him?!

Chika let out a gasp when there's suddenly sparks of lightning from where Koro-sensei once stood, followed by a blinding light. She is forced to shut her eyes tight. What about the others? Did they get electrocuted? Where did the lightning come from? She don't have the time to even open her eyes when the boat suddenly rock violently. Chika lose her balance and fell on her butt. The waves just won't stop. Chika can only hold onto the boat for dear life until the surface turn calm again. When she take a peek, her boat have been pushed back a good few feet from its original spot. She need to check on her classmates!

Hayami-san is the first person she spotted when she got closer. "Hayami-san, are you all right?"

"Oichi-san..." Hayami-san give her a bewildered look.

"Don't let your guard down!" Karasuma-sensei yells all of the sudden. He and Bitchirina-sensei are rushing to their spot. "He has regenerative power. Katakoka-san! Isogai-kun! Keep watch of the water's surface!" Everyone start to look around for any sign of Koro-sensei. Chika is no different. They all jumped when bubbles burst from the water centre. Those who still have their weapons ready themselves. Chika aim her rifle at the spot. The bubbles dissipates and something else rises-

"Nyuuuuh~"

A round ball with Koro-sensei's face on it. It have two layers. First is a clear, transparent layer. Second layer is a yellow 'yolk'.

...

What is that?

"This is the last of my last resorts. The ultimate defence form!"

The ultimate what now?

Koro-ball proceed to explain. "The transparent part of the outside... Is the crystallised form of extremely condensed energy. I contract my flesh as much as possible, and with the excess energy resulting from that state... I tightly fortify the area surrounding my flesh. While in this form, I am truly invisible! Anti sensei material, water, any and all attacks will be returned by this crystal wall." Nothing can scratch him when he's in that form?

"No way..." Yada-san gasped in disbelief. "Then... If you stay in that form, we can never kill you." That's true...

"It's not actually that simple." Chika straightened her back at that. There is a weakness? Koro-sensei continues. "This energy crystal... It naturally collapses after 24 hours. At that moment, my flesh expands, and it absorbs energy to return to its original state. But on the downside, during the 24 hours before the crystal collapses, I am completely incapable of any movement." The Mach 20 monster... Unable to even move a single inch for the next 24 hours? "What I fear the most is, being stuffed into a high speed rocket during that time, and being thrown off into some distant part of the universe... But I've throughly looked into this issue. There isn't a single rocket in this world capable of doing that within 24 hours. Kukukuku~" Green stripes appear on his face.

Chika's eyes widened at his explanation. The wheels in her head start to turn. This ultimate defence form... Koro-sensei outright state that this is his last resort. Which he can only done after he shed his skin. The technique that he can only use once a month... That means... He can only turn to a ball once a month! If there really is a pattern at this then... Koro-sensei will be weaker when the crystal collapsed! But just how much weaker? Regardless, the time when he can do neither of his defence techniques is his most vulnerable moment yet! There's a silver lining on this cloud. They may failed today, but the knowledge they learn today will surely benefit them in the future. Chika is snapped out of her thinking when Koro-sensei screams. Oh, Akabane-san is doing something to him...

"Can someone find me a dirty old man~ I want to stick this in his underwear!"

Akabane-san...

Karasuma-sensei come to the rescue, snatching Koro-ball away from Akabane-san's clutches. "Let's disperse for now everyone. I'll investigate a way to dispose of this guy with the higher ups." He put Koro-ball inside a plastic bag.

"Nurufufufu~ Are you perhaps planning to seal me in a pool of Anti sensei material? It's useless. In that case, I would set off a portion of my energy... And blow away the surrounding area with the blast, just like I did earlier." Koro-sensei chuckles some more, earning a glare from Karasuma-sensei. Behind him, Bitchirina-sensei frowned heavily. "However, everyone should be proud. Even the world's military forces weren't able to corner me to this point. It was thanks to the magnificence of everyone's plan."

No one said anything back. They couldn't. They failed to kill him once again. Everyone is disappointed in themselves. After putting that much effort and time... Class E is once again foiled by Koro-sensei's unpredictability. Chika offered her hand to Hayami-san. She accept it. Wordlessly, Chika pull her into the boat. Hayami-san stares intently at her gun. As the clincher of this operation along with Chiba-san, she must be feeling guilty. Chika don't blame them. No one would blame them. Their bullets found its target. It's just that their target is an overpowered octopus that always have a trick up his sleeve. But no... Any words of encouragement or sympathy will bother them even more.

Chika park the speed boat next to the bridge. She get off first, followed by Hayami-san. Chiba-san climb up to the bridge at the same time Hayami-san put her foot down. The two snipers look at each other. Taking this as a cue, Chika hurriedly leave those two alone. They will need a moment alone. She catch up with Hara-san, who can only give her a tired smile. Even if Chika smile back, it won't cheer her up. The class returned to the hotel in fatigued state. After changing to dry clothes and put away their weapons, they meet up again at the outdoor hall. The hotel have provide another round of drinks for them. This time they have other options instead of just juice. Chika get herself a glass of cold water and juice for Hara-san.

"Here you go, Hara-san" She hand her the glass. Hara-san smile and reach out... Only for the glass to slip and fell to the floor. "It's okay, Hara-san- Are you feeling unwell?" She asked in concern when she notice that Hara-san is sweating. Her breath is quite erratic as well. She look flushed... A staff come to their table to clean up the mess, but Chika hardly pays any attention to her. She is looking intently at Hara-san.

"Hara-san...?" Fuwa-san place a hand on her shoulder.

BUMP

Chika turn her head around to see the source of that sound. Nakamura-san have collapsed to the floor. Shiota-san is kneeling next to her. Okajima's nose bleed profusely, freaking out Sugaya-san who sit across him. Hazama-san tried to stand up but knock over a chair instead. Mimura-san knocked over Maehara-san's glass as he lean over the table. Muramatsu too have collapsed on the floor.

Karasuma-sensei grab the staff's attention. "Where's this island's hospital?"

The staff jumped in surprise, almost dropping her broom. "Eh... This is a rather small island... We only have a small clinic but the doctor on duty returns to another island at night. You would have to wait until 10'o clock tomorrow for the boat."

They can't wait that long! This illness is so suspicious- They can't catch a cold so soon! Now Sugino-san also have a nosebleed. Kurahashi-san doubled over, clutching her stomach. Karasuma-sensei's phone rings loudly. Chika barely pay attention. Hara-san's nose is bleeding profusely. Her blood run cold at the sight. Her classmate... Is hurt... They are suffering... How did this happened..? The same staff from earlier have returned with more people. They are bringing with them first aid kits. The male staffs brought futons for the sick. Chika dab her handkerchief on Hara-san's forehead. She's really burning up... Yoshida is helping Muramatsu sit up against the pillar. Okano-san is wiping Maehara-san's sweat. Sugaya-san and Yada-san can only watch helplessly as Okajima's nosebleed won't stop. By now most of the members of Class E are on the floor. Either sitting up or lying down. When the staff finally finish laying out the futon, those who can still move help those who can't to lie down. Yoshida help them carry Hara-san to her futon. The staffs return with a dozen buckets of cold water and clothes.

Sonokawa-san, Karasuma-sensei's subordinate, rush to his side. She said a few things to him. Chika can't hear what she's saying, but it must be urgent since Karasuma-sensei look even more worried now. With a pained look on his face, he explain the situation to them. A third party have drugged them without their knowledge. The poison is artificial but they will cause death. The third party will give them the cure if they hand over Koro-sensei in return. The location of the exchange will be the hotel on the top of this island's mountain. The shortest girl and boy in Class E will be the one to deliver Koro-sensei. Shiota-san and Kayano-san. Fail to show up in one hour and they can say good bye to the antidote they desperately need.

"I guess it's true..." Chika turn her gaze from Hara-san, hanging over Karasuma-sensei's every word. "I heard this from an acquaintance in the police department. This small island, Fukumajima, it's actually known as Demon Island. The actual resort hotels are legitimate businesses. But the remote hotel on the mountaintop alone is different. With some help from an area called Solitary Island in the southern seas, influential members of domestic and foreign mafias, and people of the financial world who are connected to them, are said often to visit that hotel. While under strict watch from security consisting of personal guards... It seems they discuss illegal business and throw drug parties night after night. They even have connections to people high up in the government, and the police aren't even able to carelessly lay a hand on them."

...Does that mean the Board Chairman have ties to the mafia? No, he wouldn't dare. Board Chairman Asano is many things but to have links with crime organisation that won't hesitate to hurt your students... Then again, this is Board Chairman. A man bold enough to let his school ground to used for assassination. Koro-sensei even live on their school building! Everything about this screams trouble.

That does not bode well to Yoshida at all. "What do we do? A bunch of people are gonna die at this rate!" You can hear the panic in his voice. "We didn't come to this island to be killed!"

"Calm down, Yoshida-kun" Hara-san speak up. Chika turn to her, worried. "We're not gonna die that easily. Take your time and think of a counter plan." Hearing those words appears to calm down Yoshida.

"It's too dangerous to listen to what they say. They want our two smallest guys to go?" Terasaka bump his fists on top of Kayano-san's and Shiota-san's heads. "We're talking about this runts here! We'd just be giving them hostages!" He's not wrong... "First of all, I'm pissed at anyone who would even do this kind of thing. No one lays a finger on my buddies!" Muramatsu and Hazama-san snickers at that, albeit weakly. "To hell with his demands! Let's just take everyone to the city hospital right now and-"

"I can't agree with that." Takebayashi-san cut him off. "If it really is an unknown artificial virus, even the biggest hospital won't be have the antivirals to stop it. The time wasted in bringing in the sick could hurt them more." He set down a bucket next to Muramatsu's bed. "We'll work on treating the symptoms for now. You'd better hurry to make the exchange."

"Takebayashi..."

Will it be any different if they succeed assassinate Koro-sensei? If Koro-sensei is killed and they still got poisoned... What else is left to make the exchange with? When did the culprit poisoned them anyway? But what can they do now? They only have one hour. First aid kit is only temporary. Sending in two of their members is the same as giving them away as hostages. Koro-sensei is one thing but what if they decided to simply run away without handing them the antidote? In television, the police will try as long as possible to delay the exchange, in fear of the bad guys killing the hostages when they get what they want. But what about Hara-san and the others? What if their condition worsen before an hour passed? Are they willing to take that chance?

"There is a way," Koro-sensei said, causing everyone to look at him. "It's better than running away to a hospital, and better than quietly obeying them. It seems like Ritsu-san is done with the preparations I asked for." Chika pull out her phone. Ritsu have change her clothing to an orange skintight suit with cream shirt underneath and a matching scarf tied around her waist. "Will all the healthy people come here please? Wear something you can get dirty. Oh, and bring something you think would be useful in a fight."

Sonokawa-san, Tsuruta-san and Ukai-san drive them to the hotel on the mountain top. Well, not exactly mountain top, but the cliff below. The cliff is looming over them. The darkness making it appear even more scary. Next to her, Terasaka hoisted his backpack. Before they leave the resort, he went back to his room to get his backpack. Akabane-san put his weapons (all sorts of wasabi) inside without Terasaka's permission. The big guy complained but did nothing to stop him. Kayano-san put drinks and snacks inside, in case any of them got hungry. Chika didn't bring anything with her. Just her phone, handkerchief and a pen. She is wearing a light blue denim overalls that stop above her knees and plain white T-shirt. Instead of her usual shoes that she wear to school, Chika is wearing the deck shoes. Their phones beeped. Ritsu wants to talk.

"I hacked into that hotel's computer and obtained a blueprint of the interior. I obtained a map of their security placements as well." A 3D model of the hotel appear on their phones' screens. "The main entrance way and one the areas on site is heavily secured. However, above the cliff, there is one side entrance. Because it seems the landscape doesn't allow for infiltration... There is no security there."

"If you don't want the enemy to get his way, there's only one option." Koro-sensei speak up. "Not counting the ten patients and the two left behind to take care for them, all capable students must sneak in from here, get the jump at the guys on top, and steal that antidote!"

Karasuma-sensei objected, "It's too dangerous. Looking at the practiced skill in their method of coercion, you can clearly tell that the enemies are pros."

"Yes, and furthermore, I cannot protect everyone's safety. It's possible that it would be a better to quietly hand me over. It's all up to everyone, and the commander Karasuma-sensei, what move to make."

Chika don't need to think twice. Of course they will go steal that antidote! Borrowing Terasaka's words;To hell with his demands! Isogai-san motioned to the cliff. Everyone nods. With ease, they start to climb the cliff. This is just like Karasuma-sensei's training. With time, their movement become faster and more efficient. Chika can tell that over the months, her body become stronger too. Not to the same extend as the boys but still. Honestly? They are almost like ninja. Karasuma-sensei even taught them ninja moves! Of course Fuwa-san would be the one to suggest they implement techniques by shinobis, the actual assassins. Karasuma-sensei and Bitchirina-sensei can only stare at them with open mouth as they easily bounce off from one rock the other. Chika wonder how Toshiko-nee will react if she saw her moving like a monkey here. It's unsurprising for Bitchirina-sensei to be shocked at their new agility. She rarely watch them practice.

Karasuma-sensei get over his surprise (at their willingness or agility? Chika is not sure) fairly quickly. "Attention! Our objective is the top floor of the mountaintop hotel! This mission entail a covert infiltration and a successive surprise attack! As for hand signals and coordination, we will use those from our regular training! The only difference this time is our target! Drill the map into your head in 3 minutes! We begin operations at 19.50!"

"YES!"

...

That being said, getting to the hotel is the easiest part. There was a close call of Bitchirina-sensei falling. She insisted on coming but her outfit make it difficult for her to move. Since they can't use cars, she choose to cling onto Karasuma-sensei. It's amazing how fast he can climb despite having another person on on his back. Chika have to fight down her glee when she noticed Bitchirina-sensei try to hide her smile as she tightened her hold around Karasuma-sensei. These two... The adult pair in Class E! She wonder if Koro-sensei have any idea.

Though if they are talking about movement, Okano-san is the most nimble one. As expected from a former gymnastic club member, she is the first to reach the top. They hide behind a hedge when they finally reached the top. Karasuma-sensei pull out his phone.

"Ritsu, run a final check of our invasion route."

"Yes, sir. Displaying interior map" Ritsu give them a salute before the screen change. "Final check: We can't use the elevators. They require a keycard for each floor. We'll have to take the stairs... But they're scattered throughout the hotel, so we'll have to cover them by foot."

"It's like a TV station," Chiba-san comment at the 3D map. "Apparently they have complex layouts to prevent a terrorist takeover."

"No wonder the bad guys love staying here," Sugaya-san said at that new found fact.

Ritsu unlocks the side entrance. She can also control the security cameras so they won't capture their images. This way their worry of getting caught lessens. Unfortunately, the hotel's maintenance system is scattered. It's impossible for Ritsu to take control of everything. Karasuma-sensei get in first, acting as their vanguard. He will be the first to deal with the enemy if any shows up but...

They have a problem called the lobby.

The architecture is set up to make sure that one can't move up without passing through the hotel's lobby. The security is much stricter here. The emergency staircase is right there but there is no way to get there without being seen. Chika counted that there are at least 13 people in the lobby. Karasuma-sensei looked conflicted. What is the best way to get everyone upstairs without getting caught?

Bitchirina-sensei give him a bored look, "What? Just go on through." Everyone look at her in shock. She ignores them and walk forward. Chika feel like grinning when their teacher place a hand on Karasuma-sensei's shoulder. Her usually elegant steps suddenly turn wobbly. Bitchirina-sensei's body sway dangerously. The group watch as she bumped to a guard.

"I'm sorry..." Bitchirina-sensei apologises to him in a... Coy tone? "It seems I had too much of the liquor in my room."

"Oh! Er- Think nothing of it, Miss." The guard blushes.

"I'm the pianist scheduled to perform here next week," She points to the grand piano on the other side of the room. "I came early to see the sights." The guards standing nearby glance her way, now interested. Bitchirina-sensei walk towards the piano, drawing everyone's eyes. "I'd like to see if the piano is in tune. It'll help me sober up." She sit down. "Could I play a tiny bit?" She asks them while giving a flirtatious look. The guards become flustered. She beckon them to come closer, grabbing one of the guard's arm. Chika feel a shiver up her spine when her teacher begin to play the notes. This song... Fantaisie-Impromptu by Frederic Chopin? Chika heard of this song before... But she never hear to live. It is vastly different from listening to CDs. Bitchirina-sensei is really skilled... And the way she is now as she plays the piano... It's...

Captivating

"An assassin not only has obvious skills, but also knows all too well how to use her charms, how to use her wiles. Using her body in such a bewitching way as she plays... It's aural seduction!" Koro-sensei explain it to them in low voice.

One by one, every guard and staff move closer to get a better look at Bitchirina-sensei. How convenient it is the they are all grown up males. Bitchirina-sensei covertly give them hand signals.

I will buy you 20 minutes

With her distracting everyone else, the infiltration team easily slip away. Chika can still feel her heart pounding as the piano sound grow more and more distant. Their teachers... Sure are amazing... Is this what they call 'being dazzled'?

"Isn't Bitch-sensei something? Playing like that with those nails?" Sugaya-san mused.

Isogai-san nodded in agreement. "She never said anything about being able to play piano."

"There's more to her than what you see everyday." Karasuma-sensei said to them sternly. "She's as capable as any outstanding hit man out there. The better the assassin, the broader her skill set. If you reach her class...You have any skill that would be useful in an infiltration assassination mastered. The woman who've been teaching you conversation skill, is arguably the best honey trap in the world."

The way he told them about Bitchirina-sensei... Is Karasuma-sensei acknowledging her ability..? Chika like where this development is going. Love stories about teachers are rare. Usually it would be between student and teacher. These two though... They are like the polar opposites. One is a soldier, the other is an assassin. One likes to wear black, the other likes to wear white. One is straight-laced, one is arrogant but honest. Their dynamic is too interesting to be left alone. This teachers' love story is a definite Josei or Seinen. Maybe with the 'Ecchi' tag thrown in with how vulgar Bitchirina-sensei can be. Ah... Chika can already taste the bittersweet feeling of an adult.

"Nyurufufufu," Koro-sensei chuckles. "So there's no problem at all even if I can't move."

Karasuma-sensei leading them, Bitchirina-sensei covering for them, and Karasuma-sensei's three subordinates doing all they can behind the scene... Toshiko-nee taking care of her. Board Chairman, for all his faults, being one of the best educator around... The power of an adult... Is simply too amazing...

This chapter takes place from Ch. 60 - 62 in the manga.

It may seems rushed to you but I really want to wrap up the Resort Island segment as soon as possible. I still have filler stories for the rest of the summer vacation. So the Summer Arc will be long and I don't want to bore you. I figured that we will have 4 or 5 chapter more before Resort Island segment ends.

At first I want to cover chapter 63 - 64 as well but I don't want this chapter to get too long ^^u

On the other hand, I will surely enjoy myself milking the goodness of Karma Time and Weapon Time. ChibaxHayami moment next chapter! Squeal with me my dear readers. For Chika can't squeal.

Thank you for reading

Please review. It means a lot
