~Y/n pov~

We sat in chemistry, Koro-sensei and the class reps had left to get the equipment .

Unlike in our other classroom, we were sat on benches, I was sat opposite Karma and next to Okuda and Karma was sat next to Rinka.

Maehara, Okajime and this other kid(🤷‍♀️) waited near the door with their knifes, most likely preparing an ambush attack.

As soon as the door slid open, they all leapt forward swinging their knifes , however Koro-sensei was obviously too fast for them and managed to avoid them and set up the equipment at the same time.

After a short while, they gave up and collapsed on the floor panting.

"Is that all you can do?" I raised an eyebrow .

"Right? That was waaaay too obvious." Karma agreed.

The octopus walked to the front of the classroom and began demonstrating the practical.

He extracted the red from the sweets using chemicals , and before we had the chance to do it yourselves , he quickly grabbed all of our sweets and decided to keep them.

I sweat-dropped.

"Wait , we bought those for ourselves !" Isogai complained .

"is it me ? Or did he just use this lab to support his junk food habits ?" Maehara sighed .

I rolled my eyes, "Fucking cheapass." , I muttered under my breath , though I think Karma heard me because I heard him chuckling .

Suddenly, Okuda got up holding to flasks with some strange liquid in.

Everyone went silent as we watched her approach our teacher.

She bowed and held them out to him , "Poison sir! Please drink it."

"No one's that stupid." I chuckled under my breath.

"I'm sorry is this weird?" She asked nervously .

"It's certainly very straight forward." Koro-sensei replied .

"The thing is I'm not good with words and I'm not very good at being sneaky , but I am good at chemistry, please drink them . I put my heart and soul into making them." She bowed again.

"Heart and soul huh? Well if you say it like that I can't refuse !" The octopus took the potions from her and drank the first one .

He coughed, hunching over and then started grunting in pain.

"Is this really going to work?" Isogai asked .

We all watched in anticipation, when suddenly , his face turned blue and he grew horns.

W-what?!

Our teacher turned to Okuda, "Quite a kick, sodium hydroxide I believe ? Good attempt but not good enough. If I were human I would of definitely died. Now then, let's try the other two."

He proceeded to drink another one of the potions .

It seemed to have the same affect, he coughed and grunted in what I'm assuming was pain.

But if it didn't work the first time I doubt it would again with such basic potions .

His face then turned a mint green and wings sprouted on his cheeks. I sweat dropped , just as I thought of course it wouldn't work .

He drank the last one but this time it was different , surges of purple energy surrounded him, swirling round in some sort of small whirlwind.

Then his face turned blank.

In a strained voice he said , "If you hate me I'd understand but please don't hate assassination."

"What's that even supposed to mean!?"

"Also young lady," Koro-sensei started to lecture Okuda, "as your teacher, I can't overlook the fact that you handled toxic substances unsupervised."

Okuda looked down, "Yes sir , sorry sir."

"Don't worry i have an idea , why don't we work together on a poison that will have more effect on me?" The yellow blob suggested .

Okuda proceeded to do the walk of shame back to her desk.

I scoffed under my breath, that has to be a trap.

~*~

The next day, Okuda walked into school with a flask containing red liquid , which I'm assuming was the poison she made during pe.

I leaned back into my chair , "Got they're so guillable , it's obviously not going to work."

"Yeah seriously , why would the target make a poison with you that actually works . At least someone is smart around here." Karma agreed, leaning back, with his hands behind his head.

When Koro-sensei came in, Okuda walked up to him and gave him the poison.

I looked away uninterested knowing it wasn't going to work.

He hunched over and gasped for breath, until suddenly he turned into a liquid.

"Thank you Okuda, this is exactly what I needed to level up ." Koro-sensei said in a deep voice .

Okuda looked startled like she didn't see this coming , "Wait I- I don't understand, you tricked me!"

Koro-sensei's grin widened if it was even possible , "You didn't really think that was a poison did you?"

He suddenly shot around the room, so fast that I didn't see anything but a grey blur, "In liquid form I can move even quicker and fit into small places."

The grey blob suddenly appeared in my desk, "Hey Karma," at the mention of his name, he tilted his head and looked at me, "I wonder what would happen if we were to freeze the octopus in this form and whack him with a hammer?"

"What an interesting idea Y/n, why don't we try it out." He grinned sadistically .

Koro-sensei let out an 'eep' before quickly moving elsewhere .

"The deadliest of poisons is even useless if the assassin can't convince the target to drink it. For example, Nagisa if you were to try poison me , how would you go about it?" Our teacher explained .

"Hmm.." Nagisa pondered , "I'd probably put the poison into some food you like and give it to you as a gift."

"Excellant , to deceive someone is to get inside their head ." Koro-sensei slivered back into his clothes and turned back to his normal form, "Communication is everything."

Okuda smiled, it seems she finally understands .

~*~

Everyone else headed off to assembly but that's boring, while they were distracted I snook off and wandered into the forest.

I wandered round for a bit before walking back to the main building , where I noticed Karma sat on the steps listening to music, approaching  quietly , I sat down next to him on the steps.

Only then did he notice my presence.

"So you're skipping too?" I inquired .

"Obviously, it's a waste of time , but why are you skipping ?" He bobbed his head slightly to his music .

I sighed , picking at the grass, "I guess, it seems pointless, only to be ridiculed and besides I can always ask someone else what the assembly was about."

Karma nodded in agreement then it went silent.

No one talked but it felt like a comfortable silence, I leaned back slightly laying my head on the steps above, it was pretty uncomfortable but I can't complain too much, at least I wasn't at assembly .

I heard a scoff, "Comfortable?"

"Not particularly, but I can't complain." I smiled slightly.

"Of course you can." The red head chuckled.

I rolled my eyes , "On days like this , I look at the sky, it's so relaxing and then I realise , I'm so lucky to even be here, alive I mean."

"What do you mean?" Karma seemed confused for once .

Sighing , I decided not to answer , "It's a long story for another time , I'll tell you it when we are closer."

Then I heard shuffling , and my head was lifted and placed on something much more comfortable than the ground .

I tilted my head up to see Karma looking away, a pink hue on his cheeks.

"You didn't need to do that but thanks." Without looking , I could tell my cheeks were flushed red too, my face felt extremely warm.

"W-whatever."
