The Unseen Red

Discord Time

Nagisa stood in the center of a clearing in the forest, looking straight forward. "I'm not even sure if it's possible..." His eyes reflected uncertainty about what others would think of his suggestion, but when he spoke, his voice was confident. "But instead of killing Koro-sensei, I think we should try to save him."

Nagisa tensed up when the scene replayed, glancing at his friend who were quiet.

"Save him?" Mimura said. "By, like, finding a way to keep him from self-detonating come March, or what?"

"Where do we start?" Okano asked.

"Well, I dunno," Nagisa admitted, looking down. "Yet. But..."

Kurahashi energetically raised her hand. "Totally, I'm game!" she said brightly, smiling. "Koro-sensei's way too good of a bug-hunting buddy to let explode!"

Nagisa stared at her, surprised. "Kurahashi..."

Kataoka stepped out of the shadows. "Thank you for bringing it up. If you hadn't said something, I would've. Saving him is the least we can do."

"So you're on board?" Nagisa said.

"Seems appropriate," Hara put in. "It is what this class has been leading to."

"Damn right, I'm in!" Sugino said excitedly. "Far as I'm concerned, it's a whole new challenge."

"Like a new show, sort of," Fuwa added from off to the side, a hand on her chin.

"I really don't want to live with the guilt." Okano's eyes rose from previously being fixed on the ground. "I mean, we're obligated to at least give it a shot."

"Guys, you..." To say that Nagisa was relieved would be an understatement.

"Thank goodness. They feel the same way I do."Those who agreed with Nagisa's standpoint moved into the middle of the clearing, surrounding him.

"I really hate to be the one that spoils the mood, but I'm against it," Nakamura said.

"Huh?" The people gathered with Nagisa turned to look at her.

Nakamura stepped forward. "We're assassins, he's the target. That's our bond. Koro-sensei said so himself. I don't know about you, but I cherish that bond. Think about it - not killing him would defeat the purpose."

"Nakamura, I..." Nagisa stared at her.

The blackboard in the opening showed that there were 64 days until Koro-sensei's deadline.

"You're against it?" Nagisa said as if asking would change her mind.

"We get wanting to save him and all, but how do we know it's even possible?" Terasaka said.

"Well, I-" Nagisa began.

"You act like you're the only one who's been thinking about this," Yoshida interrupted.

"Also," Muramatsu added, "what happens if the clock runs out on us before we find a way? Did you consider that?"

"Seriously," Terasaka finished. "You want the octopus's last thought to be, 'Damn, my students are a bunch of half-asses'?"

Nagisa stared at the ground. His head shot up to look them in the eyes when he spoke. "No, but... we owe it to him!"

"Do you really want to save Korosensei ?" The whole class turned around to reveal Karma who had spoke.

Nagisa looked up , determinedly. "Yes. I really do."

"Prove it." Karma answered , cold stone rang his vocal.
