Akari's Time (Assassination Classroom fanfic)

Interlude 2

Asano

Asano Gakushuu has never been so humiliated before.

Okumura Akari is by far the first human to insult him in public and in private. Never before he has felt such rage within him. Every word is her arsenal used to pin him down, stabbing and striking him at his core.

And all the words tell nothing but the truth. Asano wonders how someone from 3E could accurately point out his current condition with his father. To her, he is an open book. It is as if his internal secrets are exposed to the world. He feels naked. Without much effort, she deciphered his enigmatic intentions and used it as the subject of diversion.

Maybe I exposed vulnerability on my face. Or I revealed too much when I spoke. The boy reflects upon the conversation, searching for any mistakes.

This is the first time he had felt vulnerable. His father never made him vulnerable. He only enraged him. But this girl managed to do the impossible. Asano commends her. However, he never allows him to have any weaknesses, let alone to have it exposed by another.

Asano admits she is very capable and adept since she is able to mute him. The way she finds out his weakness and pointing out with sharp words indicates she is more verbally stronger than him. His way is sugar-coating words whenever he wants people to succumb to his demands. She does the opposite by spitting out whatever comes to her mind because she knows it is more than enough to destroy her opponents. Her keen observation of her opponents to hunt down any of their weaknesses-be it concealed or exposed raw-is one of her strengths Asano acknowledges. She believes they are the facts despite validity not proven. She is brave to take such a risk.

She is one interesting girl.

Asano is eager for revenge. He does not let anyone insult him. Not a girl from 3E.

Too bad she is in 3E. With his brains and her amazing verbal skills, they could be an invincible duo in school and no one can defeat them. It would also be a chance for him to finally dominate his father.

But being in 3E has its advantages. He will use her and her class as stepping stones. He will cripple this girl and her pesky class together. Two birds with one stone. After all, he too discovered a flaw from her headstrong personality.

She flusters whenever he comments her as an interesting being. It might sound nothing peculiar, but Asano sees its potential. To defeat an enemy like her, he must enrage her enough to lose her head. Thus her ability to think clearly and rationally for any verbal counterattacks will deteriorate. Girls are temperamental. Her uncontrollable rage will be his weapon.

Another flaw he spotted was when Akabane being a pain in the ass when he visited the class. He thought Akabane was about to punch him because the sight of Asano's face was unbearable. Now that Asano has his brain gears moving, he believes Akabane taking the inititative was not because Asano was spiteful. It was because of her. Because of Okumura Akari.

Akabane was protective over her. A more specific word would be possessive.

Asano's original motive is to irritate Okumura till no ends and torment her slowly with his 'poison'. He wants to destroy her life bit by bit, making it miserable. This is what she gets for infuriating him. Thus, he believes he can put Akabane as one of his chess pieces. He can corrode their relationship. Okumura Akari must treasure her relationship with people-especially that redhead-or else she wouldn't have the guts to blackmail him.

How would it feel to have someone you treasure so much abandon you?

Okumura irks him. Akabane irks him even more. What would be better to take them down in one go?

Asano laughs. This is it. The perfect revenge.

It would be a pity to destroy her because her verbal skills are impressive. But he mustn't falter. He doesn't need her. She is nothing but a chess piece. A stepping stone. His object of revenge.

Asano thinks of a good plan.

What if I court her? It will irk her for sure. Then she couldn't fight back because anger is poison to her intelligence. It will also make that Akabane jealous and their relationship will be torn apart. It will only make things easier for me if she actually falls for me when everything is nothing but a ruse.

To have a girl like her, tailing him like a lost puppy hungry for love sounds like a good plan. She will obey his every command-spilling out 3E's secrets, betraying her friends and bring down his father from his reigning throne.

All will be a ruse. A fake act to lure her into his trap. A dark abyss which she will never find any means of escape. She will never regain her freedom. She will only feed on the little 'love' he gives as sustenance. He will collar her like his father.

I will make her mine.

Of course, not romantically.

Why would I even make her mine romantically? I don't see any apparent reasons to do so. I just want her to succumb before me. She will be my slave. I don't like her. I will not like her. An insolent brat like her cannot capture my affection. Just because she discovered my hidden intentions without much effort it only impresses me of her skills. That's all. It is just her skills.

Asano can never be charmed by a girl like her. Never. She is a pain. A solid example of insolence. A living product of vulgarity and impudence. Ferocity and audacity are her drawbacks which defile the tiny essence of beauty she has left. Someone like her ought to fetter her aggression or else she would be chasing off her suitors.

Romance is his tool, his weapon to achieve his goals. It matters nothing to him. It has no impact on his life in pursuing total domination. The prelude of disaster looms over Okumura as Asano will do whatever it takes to avenge him.

However, he feels uneasy about his plan. Something is bugging him from within. He didn't felt it before and he dislikes the feeling.

Asano looks at his hand where the warmth of hers still lingers and wonders why.

*****

Okay.... So I decided to put an Asano's POV as an interlude because it was interesting. I haven't got any ideas to place Asano into my storyline so I made his POV as an Interlude just in case.

And heads up: no implied romance here. Yet.

I'm still not sure. But don't worry. Akari is still Karma's XD.

Anyway..... I might be posting a new chapter along with this interlude.... stay tuned!!!! (coz I'm busy for the next week o.o)
