Your Life in Class 3-E

Strategy Time (Part 2)

(Your Pov)

-----------------------------

So after Koro-Sensei roasted Karma a bunch of times, Karma decided that he was gonna finally give up, but since he's Karma, I shouldn't say that so easily. After school ended, he walked a path that led up to cliff; Nagisa and I trailed behind him quietly. Karma sat on a tree that grew on the edge of the cliff, and he stayed there for quite a long time. Nagisa gave me a weird look after some 15 minutes and stepped up to talk to Karma. 

"Come on man, I'm telling you not to sweat it," Nagisa pleaded. "We'll do it as a group."

"The whole class, maybe," I muttered.

"You can have the sneakiest, most foolproof plan in the world ready to go, but if Koro-Sensei has his eyes on you, then forget it," Nagisa continued to explain. "He's not like other teachers."

Karma's voice was quiet but bitter. "Other teachers, huh? No..."

I sighed and held up my hands. "Sheesh, Karma. You don't have to be such a lone wolf. Like Nagisa said, he's got his eyes on you, and not just you, everybody else. Your tricks won't work on him. Besides, what are you gonna do with the reward money? Spend it on army weapons and kill the world one person at a time?"

"You don't understand, I wanna do it on my own," Karma raised his head. "Would it tick you off to die in some random place?"

We didn't have the chance to answer. 

"Oh, Karma!" Koro-Sensei's all-too-familiar voice rang through the air. The three of us turned our heads to look at him. There was a moment of quiet time before our teacher spoke again. "I feel like I had taken exceptionally good care of you today," Koro-Sensei's face then had green stripes. "Keep trying to kill me if that tickles your fancy. I certainly don't get tired of spiffing you up." 

"Just so we're on the same page here," Karma chuckled. "You pretty much consider yourself as a teacher above all else?"

A cloud of uneasiness cast over me as I backed up a bit. Nagisa did the same. 

"That's right," Koro-Sensei answered.

"Cool," Karma replied, then lowered his head a bit. "And you wouldn't think twice about putting your life on the line to save a student."

"What sort of teacher would I be if I did?"

Karma smiled, "That's awesome. Good to know." Then he raised up his hidden gun and fell off the cliff. The last thing I heard from him was, "So I can kill you. Knew there had to be a way."

(Karma's Pov)

What's it gonna be, teach? You gonna swoop down to save me and get blasted in the process, or be the kind of teacher that lets one of your kids die?

Haha! That crap about saying your life flashing before your eyes is true! 

"I think he's learned his lesson."

"3-E? The one out in the sticks? Dude, that sucks. Still, don't let anyone give you lip over it. What? I'm not the bad guy here. All I did was put a bully in his place. Little jerk had it coming!"

I almost laughed out loud when I remembered this one.

*****

"No! Dammit, Akabane! Any way you slice it you're clearly in the wrong!" My teacher yelled at me as spit flew out of his angry mouth. "Are you out of your mind or just plain stupid? What possessed you to think that attacking your class's star pupil like a mad dog was something I'd let slide?"
