Chapter 5: Distance of the Two
It's been several months since the incident of Koro-sensei assassination, and all of the former class E students have started out their high school live. They try their best to stay in touch with each other. They also decide to gather and clean the old school building every once in a month for maintenance.
For them… that building is a precious memento from their beloved yellow octopus teacher. It's feel somewhat weird that they are living ordinarily. No assassination or saving the world anymore. Just a regular high school student. However, they did not regret their decision. Maybe it is a sign that the whole class has grown quite mature in their own unique way.

In a certain classroom in certain high school, a certain blue-haired-girl is preparing her stuff and readies to go home. Her appearance kinda change from her junior high counterpart. Her hair is no longer tied into half pigtails, instead she lets her hair down now.
"Nagisa-chan, will you join us to the karaoke?", said one of her classmate.
"I don't think so… I've something to do today."
"Eh, such a shame. Be sure to join us next time, Nagisa-chan."
She smiles and nods. As she finishes her conversation, she takes a step and leaves the school.

Meanwhile in Kunugigaoka high school, a certain red-haired-male is slouching off his seats waiting for the final bell to ring.
'Ugh, I hope the class will end soon.'
And so the bell ring.
'Finally…'
With ease, he takes his stuff and readies to leave the building. That is until a certain someone stops him.
"Akabane, today might be the perfect day for you to tell me about this Koro-sensei guy."
"Yo, Asano. I'm not in the mood today, besides you don't seem to understand what I've told you previously."
"In a way it just too peculiar. Like how in the world this Koro-sensei is a giant yellow octopus who can speed up to Mach 20 that need to be assassinated by class 3-E"
Karma starts to show his mischievous tone. "Eh~, it is very simple really. Maybe you are too square to understand that's all~. In fact, I doubt that you will understand the rest of it ."
"Stop joking Akabane!"
"Yeah,yeah.~",said Karma mockingly. "Anyway, I'm kinda in hurry now. I have an appointment. Bye."
To avoid Asano's mountain of questions, Karma walks away to the school gate as fast as he can. However, Asano manages to stop him and demand some explanation about Koro-sensei.
'Urg! I hope she isn't there yet.'

Meanwhile in front of the train station, Nagisa is waiting for her friend. She looks at her watch then glances to her surroundings.
'Hmm… I wonder what took him so long. Maybe, he has supplementary lesson. But he didn't tell me. Well, there is still 20 minutes till the next train come. Maybe… I should text him.'
Around 10 minutes later, Karma shows up with a pretty mess up looks. He has sweat all over his face. His hair is so messy as if he encounters a tornado.
Nagisa eyes pop out in shock. She never sees her friend likes this. "KARMA! WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?"
Karma is still catching his breath. "I ran all the way here."
Nagisa gives a confuse look. "…why?"
"If I don't, the train will certainly leave us."
"You know… we can cancel it today if you are so busy."
"…It's not that I'm busy, Nagisa. Asano kept pestering me to spill everything about Koro-sensei." Karma starts frown himself. "It's so annoying and it's not like he understood everything I said. Besides, we cannot cancel today. I already promised to study with you, didn't i?"
Nagisa tries to hold her laughter. It's kind of funny to see her best friend feels annoyed like this. After all, it's usually the other way around, isn't it?
"Don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing. Pfft…"
"Yes you are."
"Hahahaha. I'm not"
Karma put both of his hand on Nagisa's face. "Stop it!"
Nagisa is shock by Karma's action. For a while they stare at each other and blush. Karma hurriedly lets his hand go. Both of them averted their eyes from each other and then there is this awkward silence.
'Why did I do that? Did I Just… Oh no, this is awkward.' though Karma
'What just happen? Did he just… I probably just thinking too much'
In the end they both just ignore it and try to change the subject. Soon after that, the train arrives.
"S…so shall we go?", said Nagisa while pointing at the train.
Karma nods and so both of them go in the train.

After they arrive at the destined station, they both walk a few block and finally arrives at Nagisa's home. It is a normal family size apartment with simple décor. They go inside Nagisa's room and get ready to study. Studying together is something that they often do together. They usually ask each other which one they don't understand and try to exchange school material. But the one who being taugh mostly was Nagisa, since Karma is perfectly good at all subjects.
Karma begins sitting on the cushion near the coffee table. "So, which subject should it be today?"
"Let's start with Biology. There are some parts that I don't understand."
"Kay, which one?"
"The cell division one. I do understand the about the basic like first there is interphase, then it will go on with either mitosis and meiosis, but It kinds of confusing in the intherphase state, like how does the check point works."
Karma then explain about it thoroughly through a simple picture of diagram. It takes a while for Nagisa to finally understand about it.
"…So that how it is."
"Yup~. Anything else?"
"Hmmm… not really. I think I already understand mitosis and meiosis."
Karma then takes a piece of paper and write something on it. He then gives it to Nagisa. "Kay then, try answering this."
"Okay". Nagisa obediently answer the questions. The questions are quite easy like draw the cell cycle, explain the difference between meiosis and mitosis, write the process of mitosis, what is prophase, metaphase, and etc. After several minutes, Nagisa manages to finish all of them and Karma checks it.
"Well, I think you already know the gist of it. So how about reviewing other stuff?"
"Sure."
After another hour or two, they decide to end it for today and have a break. Nagisa brings out several sweet treats such as cookies and cake rolls. They ten dig in and have a small chat.
"So… Are you still teaching that Sakura girl?", asked Karma.
"Yeah…". Nagisa then shows a really gentle expression, "She is getting better at studying. I think she can definitely catch up with her current class if she keeps up her efforts."
Karma stares at his best friend. He is amazed by Nagisa. "Nagisa. I think you will be a great teacher in the future."
For a second time today, Karma makes her shock. How to say it. It's quite rare for Akabane Karma to give a compliment. She needs a few second to process his word. "…What do you mean by that?"
"Well… you are really similar with Koro-sensei."
"You mean I am a perverted yellow octopus with Mach 20 speed?"
Hearing that response, karma let out a laugh. He can't believe it. It's so funny that the first thing she thought was that side of Koro-sensei. "That's not it. What I mean is, you and Koro-sensei has this similar passion in teaching."
'That's right. Nagisa might not be as smart nor as fast as Koro sensei. But there is always this gentle side of her that makes her capable of nurturing people. Yeah… If it's her, then it's possible."
"…You mean it?"
"Yup~"
Nagisa is really happy to hear this, especially from someone she's admired. She then remembers something.
"Ah, that's right! Karma, there's something I always want to ask you… During the end of the second year. Why did you avoid me?"
'Well… how should I tell her.', thought Karma
"You see Nagisa… Back then there was this dangerous vibe that you give. It's … probably you blood lust. I just don't know how to deal with it, so… you know the rest." Karma looks at his friend blue eyes. He really doesn't know how to put it in words. He just hopes that this does not upset her. After all, it is him who put a distance between them.
Nagisa sighes in relief. "…that's all?"
Karma is so confused. He doesn't understand why she feels relief about it. "What do you mean by that's all? Shouldn't you be mad on me or something?"
"Why would I? I'm glad you know. I've always thought you stopped hanging out with me because you got bored. I'm kind of scared that the same thing will happen again?"
Karma raises his eyebrow. "Why would you think like that?"
"Well… because you are someone who's good at everything, and I'm just a plain old me."
"You are not plain at all. You are a talented assassin in a form of harmless little harmster~."
Hearing that, Nagisa pouts her cheek. "Geez, why are you always teasing me?"
"Oh, come on~. That's a compliment you know and besides…" Karma looks at his friend in the eyes. "…after that fight, I don't think we will drift apart like that time again."
Nagisa can only gaze her friend. She's really really glad that he feels that way. "Yeah… I guess you're right."
They chat and snack for a while until the sun start to set.
"Well, I guess I'll get going now. See ya, Nagisa~"
"Yup, becareful on your way, Karma."
That day… the distance between the two of them has just gotten shorter.

author's note
And here is chapter five! I hope you guys enjoy it. It's kinda cheesy, isn't it? The hands in the cheek part. But I think it will be cute if that really happens. (p.s. not to mention how their surrounding will react. I'll leave that to your imagination). Oh and that biology part, that's actually what I've studied in my first semester in the univ. Like… our cells go through such detail phase that at some points you kinda feel amazed, like wow our cells work really hard and precise lol. Anyway thank you for the review and for reading this fic :3. For next chapter, it will still be revolving around this two! I hope you guys are looking forward to it.
