There was a teacher on the main school grounds of Kunugigaoka that Karma had grown to trust. The two of them could speak freely whether the discussion be about school or something completely unrelated. Karma thought it felt good skip class to speak to this teacher; Kensaku Ōno. He felt as if the teacher could understand him and the two just felt like good friends.

It wasn't until Karma got into a fight did it change the way he felt about teachers and their empty lies. As if a switch had been flipped, Karma was turned against by Kensaku- sensei, the person he trusted. The teacher that made him believe that he could trust him but his true nature was revealed after the fight.

Karma remembers it all so vividly, their was a girl outside the school building and she wasn't doing anything as a group of guys surrounded her. He didn't remember her particularly but he noticed a blue-haired boy that he used to be friends with. Karma concluded that they were from E-class.

He along with a blond girl and a couple of guys with orange hair, the other with black hair were also with her. The four of them were watching with a fearful look in their eyes when the other boys circled around the girl with the (H/C) hair, she was looking at the ground with no facial expression and Karma couldn't help but watch, confused yet curious.

"(Y/N) please don't do anything here.."

Karma looked at Nagisa when he said that and looked back to you just when a hand was about to come down to strike you. Without giving you enough time to move, Karma was already in front of the victim, taking the slap for her when a manic smile grew. His golden eyes shone despite holding a playful and dangerous glint, "You sure it's alright to hit girls? Would you even consider that a hit though?"

The boy took back his hand and his eyes had widened tenfold, switching from you and then to the red-haired sadist who stood in front of you, he saw your face and caught a glimpse of your smile. He took note of the deranged smile growing on your face but stopped at the look of pure joy, admiration and awe at the person in front of you.

It was then that the boy realised that he would've been beaten no matter who he fought.

Karma didn't stop though, the way Nagisa looked at you with those afraid eyes and the way the other three with him were looking at you in such a worried way made Karma so interested in who you were at that time, but after only having seen a glimpse of your manical smile, he wanted to know more. The way you continued smiling like you were watching your prey as Karma beat the kid made adrenaline rush through the red-haired devil.

He was so excited and couldn't find it within himself to stop, that is, until Kensaku Ōno stepped in. There was yelling and students ran, including those of the E-class when they scurried off back to the mountain.

"Are you out of your mind or just stupid?!"

Karma remembers how his boastful smile was dropped instantly at the realization that Kensaku Ōno wasn't who he really was when he sat in front of Karma. All that talk about being there for him and having his back- it was only because of the student's good grades and the second Kensaku knew of what Karma had done, he had stuck to protecting the school's image and turning away from Karma.

Making Karma realise how much he hates teachers.

Karma was thrilled, excitement rushing through him as the wind dashed past making his hair go wild. He caught a glimpse of blue hair from the edge of the cliff as he fell but he couldn't help but laugh as he couldn't wait to see the outcome to this.

The gun held tightly within his grasp was aimed up in front of him as he waited patiently for his teacher to jump down and save him. The air was so exhilarating and fresh and he didn't regret this at all. If Karma was right then Koro would either have to jump straight for him; giving his student the opportunity to shoot or Koro would fail as a teacher and let Karma fall.

The tree that grew off of the cliff was getting smaller and smaller the more closer he got to the ground and he wasn't surprised when Koro still wasn't jumping after him.

--

"I've taken good care of you today - you can still try to kill me, you know? I'll polish you even shinier."

"You are a teacher, right? And would you risk your life for your students?"

"Of course!"

"That's good, then I can kill you for sure."

Karma loved the way Nagisa's jaw practically dropped when he fell back from the cliff on the mountain; a couple of meters away from their classroom. Nagisa almost jumped to try and reach Karma but he was already out of sight. Koro was shocked and disappeared making Karma's smile widen. The look of fear, shock, terror, remorse and despair on both the blue- haired students and the teachers faces was amazing.

It was an adrenaline rush that nothing could compare to but it stopped when Karma's armed gun was shaken from his hand when his body was stopped in the air.

He turned his head, feeling his body unable to move because of a sticky substance. He saw black tentacles holding him down like a net and he was astounded yet he gritted his teeth menacingly, stubbornly.

A look at his teachers face and he was shaken as he had never seen Koro-sensei look so horrified and enraged.

"D-damn.." Karma's stomach dropped and he was puffing a little but Koro refused to speak, "You got me.. Alright- I guess it'll be pretty cool to have you as my teacher.."

Nagisa kept watching from over the edge of the cliff when Koro's pitch black body revealed itself  as he reappeared next to him with Karma in his hold. He let Karma go, steam radiating off of him as his eyes shone with anger, his shoulders shaking with unstable rage.

Nagisa looked down ashamed after witnessing the scene that almost made his heart stop and after hearing Koro, "I have to go."

He knew exactly where Koro-sensei was going and couldn't find it in himself to intervene as he had no right to. Karma was confused, relieved and seated on the ground, leaning his arms on the tops of his knees where Nagisa stood still beside him, refusing to make eye- contact.

"I can't believe how alike the both of you are."

He was frowning deeply when Karma looked at him in slight awe, he felt like he had to know her now. It was paramount.

"You're talking about (Y/N), aren't you?"
