The Lilac Shadow (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu Fanfiction)

Chapter 21: Karma's Time

Yeah! Badass Karma coming up!

==========================================

Third Person's POV

"Let's see what you can do, hm." The man said.

"If you insist..." Karma replies with a smile.

Then he goes forward, swinging the plant at him, but he caught it with his hand. "Too soft, hm. You'll have to find a better weapon, hm." He breaks the plant in half, but Karma just continuing smiling. "Don't need one." He throws it backwards, standing back up.

The man relaxes for a bit, before racing up and tries to hit or grab Karma, but he evades his attacks everytime, and sometimes almost got caught, but managed to twist around.

Grip strength capable of crushing skulls...once he gets his hands on me, it's game over. Karma thought, watching his hands come to him in slow motion, always dangerously close with him. On first glance, this seems like an unwinnable game, but just switch our positions around and it's no different from the unwinnable game we always play.

The E Class watches as they fight, all awed with Karma's skills. "Wow..." Kayano gasps. "He's dodging or blocking every blow!"

"That's you defense technique, right, Karasuma-sensei?" Koro-sensei asks. Self-defense is low priority for assassins, so while I don't remember teaching it in class...he must have picked it up by watching me dodge their knives.

Karasuma-sensei continues watching the fight, ignoring Koro-sensei. Akabane Karma...even in this E Class, his talent for fighting is head and shoulders above the rest.

I can dodge him...but if I move in to attack, he'll grab me. Karma thought, sweating slightly when the man finally stops. "What's wrong, hm? You'll never get past me if you don't attack, hm!" He asks infuriatingly.

But the red head just smiles. "You think?" He asks relaxingly. "I mean, I could be doing my best to distract you while the rest of us slip past a few at a time."

"Like we can. The foreigner will just grab our heads and crush them in a second." Aira retorts, and the man just look at her for a split second, eyes widening slightly. "Don't tell me, you're the Lilac Shadow, hm!" He yells.

She just shrugs. "You should be grateful I let you get the words out. Your brother or something died before he can get them out of his mouth."

"Tch."

"Relax. He just has a concussion. Let's go back to our fight. No underhand hijinx here. Now...it's my turn." Karma said, cracking his fists.

Then he starts jumping on both feet in a fighting stance. "Barehanded, like you. We'll settle this fair and sqaure, man to man." He smiles, and the man returns it. "I like that face of yours, young warrior, hm. With you, I've got a chance—a chance at the fair fight I can't experience in the assassination biz, hm."

Karma immediately jumps out, and in a few moves, he kicked his crotch, making him turn around and kneel down. Now! He thought, racing up before getting hit with purple gas in his face. "Karma-kun!" Aira yells, stepping out.

Karma falls down, and the man grabs his hair. "It's over, hm." He said, releasing something in his hands, and it falls down to the floor with a clink. That gas! Nagisa thought.

"I'm not fond of drawn-out fights, hm. Thought I'd give Smog's paralysis gas a try, hm."

"That's dirty! Ain't nothin' fair about sneaking that into the fight!" Yoshida yells.

"I never said I only fight bare-handed, hm. One mustn't get too particular about one's hangups, hm. Just another key to sticking around in the business, hm." He said, lifting up Karma by his face.
