It was boiling outside, and Koro-sensei made us walk in the woods to reveal a surprise he had for them.

"Hey, Nagisa. I heard you were a real badass the other day. Sorry I wasn't around, I would've loved to see the guy's face." Karma said to Nagisa after hearing what happened from me.

"I have it on video," I mentioned.

"Cool. Lemme see," Karma said.

"Ritsu, bring up the camera footage of the day me and Nagisa fought Takaoka." I requested.

"Sure thing!" Ritsu answered and started from when Nagisa and I were warming up.

I passed my phone to Karma. After he was finished, he handed my phone, but before I could take it, Karma raised his hand up.

"Give it back!" I exclaimed, trying to get my phone back, "You damn bastard!"

I kept trying to grab it, but to no avail. So, I thought of the next best thing. I grabbed Karma's arm and managed to strike a pressure point. He passed out, dropping the phone, but thankfully there were no damages.

Serves you right for teasing me...

"Nagisa, help me carry this sack of meat." I said.

"Uh, okay?" He was in shock, but grabbed one of his arms and threw it over his shoulder. "So, what did you do to him?" he asked.

"I just knocked him out. Don't worry though, he'll wake up very soon." I answered, and like magic he woke up a few seconds later.

"What happened?" Karma asked, still a bit hazed.

"The heat just got to you." I lied, letting go of him. We continued walking to who knows where.

Koro-sensei stopped and turned around, then he started giggling. "Alright class, feast your eyes on this!" The students moved the bushes out of their way and they gasped. 

"Your very own swimming hole, compliments of moi!" Koro-sensei presented. The students took off their hoodies and jumped in.

Hazama and I sat on the two white, lounge chairs in the shade. Hazama was reading a book and I was eating snacks.

Koro-sensei started blowing his whistle from his lifeguard chair, "Kimura! Absolutely no running around the edge of the pool, that's how accidents happen!" he warned using his megaphone.

"What do you think you two are doing?!" Koro-sensei exclaimed as Nakamura and Hara came up for air, "Absolutely no holding your breath underwater! How am I supposed to know the difference between horseplay and drowning?!"

"Absolutely no sneaking pictures!" Koro-sensei took away Okajima's camera.

"Put down the book and enjoy the water for heaven sake! And stop eating so many snacks! If you decide to get in the pool later, you'll get cramps!" Koro-sensei scolded, as he continued blowing his whistle.

Koro-sensei started to chuckle, "I've gone through a great deal of trouble making sure this pool is in harmony with its natural surroundings. Proper enjoyment of it must be disciplined and orderly!" he explained, scanning the area.

"Aw, c'mon, don't be such a stick in the mud. You gotta loosen up!" Kurahashi cheered and splashed water at him, earning a high pitched squeal.

All the student's faces went blank when they heard it.

"Did he just scream like a chick?" Nakamura questioned.

"Chicken's more like it." I added.

Then, Karma started shaking Koro-sensei's chair, "Karma! What are you doing?! Stop it! I'll fall in! Are you listening to me?! I said stop! Pleeaaase!" he pleaded. 

The class stared at him. When Karma stopped, Koro-sensei was hyperventilating slightly.

"Don't read too much into it. I just didn't feel like taking a dip at the moment, that's all. Certainly not as though, water causes my tentacles to swell up or anything." Koro-sensei whistled looking away.

Oh ho, what's this? Another weakness...

In class, Koro-sensei made a motorbike out of wood and was sitting on it with the suit and everything. Then, Terasaka came in and got mad at Yoshida about being all buddy-buddy with Koro-sensei.

"Are you kidding? You can get this puppy to Mach 20 without pumping the gas," Yoshida said and the class started laughing, but Terasaka only got angrier. 

He walked in front of the bike and kicked it down. Koro-sensei turned light blue and screamed.

"Apologize immediately! Koro-sensei worked very hard on that to showcase his manliness, and you just reduced him to tears!" Nakamura scolded and the rest of the class agreed.

"You're talking to me an' all I heard is a swarm of freakin' locusts." he stated and took a canister out of his desk.

"It's time for some pest control!" he shouted, but before he could throw it on the ground, I made a break for the window and got away just in the nick of time as the canister exploded, filling the classroom with its contents.

Everyone was screaming and coughing, Koro-sensei went up to Terasaka all red with anger.

"That does it. I enjoy a good prank as much as the ne-" Koro-sensei was cut off by Terasaka as he swatted his tentacle off his shoulder.

As the contents from the canister cleared, I made my way back into the room.

"Get those disgusting things hell off. You're a monster, you hear me? A freak of nature. Anyone who falls for your nice guy act is stupid. That's right." he stated, looking at the class.

"Says the dumbest person in class." I insulted, making him angrier.

"If he's such a monster, why not man up and kill him." Karma stated, "I mean last I checked that is what we're s'posed to do here."

"You aimin' to started something with me, tough guy?" he questioned. " 'Cause I'd wanna bash your stupid head into-" Terasaka was cut off by Karma clenching his lower face with a single hand making him shut up.

"A little advice; you've got this backwards. You gotta bash my head before you can run your mouth." Karma informed Terasaka and swatted his hand away.

"Actions do speak louder than words." I added.

"You're all a bunch of freaks." Terasaka blurted out and slammed the door closed as he stormed out.

What's with him and the stuff that exploded?...

Later that night, before I went to sleep, I watched some of the camera footage on my laptop to see if there was anything fishy going on.

Terasaka never acts like that, someone or something must be behind it...

As I watched, I saw Terasaka pouring some sort of liquid into the stream. Then, I saw Itona in a tree with a bit of blue in his hair, and Shiro approached behind him.

"Nicely done. Here you've earned it." Shiro handed Terasaka a load of cash. "Phase one of my plan is complete. The octopus has an excellent sense of smell. Hence, why we dare not lay the groundwork for Itona's return ourselves. Had he picked up even a trace of our scent, the game would've been spoiled." the microphones managed to pick up.

"The freak of nature will be dead and E Class restored to its former insignificance." Shiro said, then Itona jumped down from his branch.

"I know you. You're weaker than the redheaded one by far. Your physique says otherwise, but I see. Those eyes are a dead giveaway. You have sight, but no vision. The only thing you see is the path of least resistance. The wolf has eyes for prey. The cow has eyes for hay. One of them's a killer. The other, his buffet." Itona recited.

"What the hell's that s'posed to mean?!" Terasaka asked angrily, as Shiro tried to calm him.

So, I was right. Shiro's behind this, well this can't be good...

I had a bad feeling about what was in store for tomorrow before going to bed.

During lunch, there was yellow slime pouring out of Koro-sensei. It looked like he was crying, but he said that his nose was running.

So that's what the stuff in that can does...

Recalling the incident that took place yesterday in my mind.

"Terasaka! Thank heaven! I had this awful feeling you abandoned our class for good!" Koro-sensei shouted as the mucus from his nose splattered all over Terasaka's face as he was talking.

Terasaka used his necktie to wipe the mucus off his face, "So, octopus. I think we stop messin' around and kill you for real. Come by the pool after class. We all know your biggest weakness is water, don't we now? Hey, it's alright! You guys can come too. You can watch while I shove him in. You can even help me out!" he offered.

Maehara stood up, "Where's this coming from? You always make fun of our attempts and now you expect us to be onboard with yours? Dude, you pride yourself on having the worst attitude in this class. Give me one good reason why any of us should help you."

"Whatever, suit yourself man. I didn't want to wash the cash with you deadasses anyway." Terasaka scoffed before walking out.

I noticed that Koro-senei was running double the mucus out, so I sat on the desk.

"The hell's his deal all of a sudden?" Yoshida questioned.

"The guy's mood swings are too much for me." Muramatsu commented.

"Take about a man period, am I right?" I added.

"Exactly. Count me out." Kurahashi said.

"Yeah, me too." Okano added.

"Let's all go. It'll be fun." The students finally noticed the ground was covered in mucus and they got stuck in it.

"Terasaka's finally showing some initiative we have to be supportive." His voice started to become inaudible, then, his whole head was covered in mucus.

After class as planned and because Koro-sensei practically forced his students to, they were spread out in the pool. 

Takebayashi was still standing on the rock, until Terasaka pushed him in and Karma didn't even bother to show up.

Terasaka held the gun Shiro gave him and pointed it to Koro-sensei. When Terasaka pulled the trigger, it blew up the dam that stopped the river's flow that created the pool. 

All the students started screaming since they were getting sucked away with the strong current. Koro-sensei noticed immediately and blasted towards the direction of his students.

I couldn't let my classmates and friends die, so I let my wings unfold, which was quite difficult because of the clothes. I got straight to work and got as many bodies out of the water as quickly as possible.

I started picking up the students who were furthest down the river to safety. As I did, many of the students were shocked to see I had wings, but didn't question me, yet.

Koro-sensei's tentacles were swollen red, the last person he caught was Yoshida before Itona grabbed him down into the water at the bottom of the waterfall.

I started making strong, but makeshift rectangular nets and ropes out of the surrounding materials quickly. 

When the rest of the students arrived at the edge of the waterfall, they fired questions at me, but I ignored them.

Karma thought of a plan, but before they could put it into action, I finished making the nets.

"Wait! Don't start the plan yet." I exclaimed, getting everyone's attention.

I tightened a loop on each foot from the short sides of the net and threaded a rope through the other two loops on the other end, holding onto the ends of each rope in each hand.

I flew off the cliff again, but the pulsing pain returned.

My wings froze for a split second and I dropped down for a second before regaining control.

Shit that would've been the end of me...

I slowly moved closer to Hara until the net was directly under her; then, I flew upwards letting Hara rest in the net. I held onto the ropes with all my strength.

My wings and back felt like they were on fire, and the area where the wings protruded from felt like two, hot gashes. I breathed heavily and sucked it up.

"Get over here," I shouted at her classmates, but not in an angry tone and everyone rushed over. "Hold onto these ropes like your life is on the line." I held onto the ropes, as everyone else grabbed on.

Man, this is stressful and a bloody workout...

Once they were all holding on, I flew back over to Hara and secured another net under her for extra support. I went over to the cracking part of the branch.

"Hold on tight you guys," I called out, and broke the branch, causing Hara to squeal a little. I flew over to her and grabbed onto the ends of the second net, pulling it so that I wouldn't risk Hara smashing into the cliff or falling.

If this fails, I take full responsibility...

After Hara was safe on the ground, I took one of my blades and cut Hara out of the nets, and Karma's plan was put into action.

"Oh, by the way, Hara. Terasaka called you a Fatty, just letting you know." I whispered to her after Terasaka jumped.

Terasaka was behind Itona, he took his shirt off and challenged him. Itona smacked his tentacle into Terasaka's stomach, Terasaka gripped onto it with his shirt while he was knocked back and Itona started sneezing.

That was soooo cute!

I smacked myself mentally.

This isn't the time for that... That's yesterday's shirt...

I watched from up close, standing on the rock across from Shiro.

Being distracted for a while, Koro-sensei was able to get a break from the fight and Karma signaled everyone to jump down, making big splashes around Itona. 

Karma landed beside me on the rock. Soon, Itona's tentacles became swollen too, but they weren't red.

Koro-sensei still offered Itona to join the class, but he chose to go with Shiro instead. The students were glad that they were gone, seeing as they were such a hindrance.

I sadly watched in silence as the pair left the scene until they were out of sight.

"Hey, Terasaka." Hara was behind him. "In case you're wondering, I heard your cracks about my weight. We fatties prefer the term full figured." she stated.

"Didn't mean to be a dick. Just sizin' up the situation..." Terasaka said, totally regretting what he said earlier.

"Sizing it up! I may be on the hefty side, but I can still kick your ass!" Hara shouted at him, backing him up against the rock Karma and I were on.

"Wow, awkward. A little tact goes a long way man, you should try it next time," Karma suggested with a smug look on his face. "Kinda hard to run from the wolves with your foot in your mouth, just sayin'." he muttered.

"Why don't you get down off your perch and say that to my face, you little turd bucket!" Terasaka shouted before grabbing Karma by the collar and throwing him into the water. "How 'bout that?!"

Karma quickly got back to his feet, "Hey! I'm s'posed to be your puppet master, remember?!" he exclaimed.

"Don't even go there! That was a temporary arrangement and you're not the one who took a tentacle to the gut! That's right, I was down here taking all the hits, 'cause you don't have the balls to do your own dirty work!" he exclaimed.

"As much as I hate to say this, but he's right. You kept your distance." I stated, "Don't like doin' your dirty work? We can help you with that." I smirked mischievously and jumped next to Karma, splashing him with the water. Soon, Maehara, Nakamura, and Terasaka joined in.

After things settled down, the inevitable question was asked.

"Shiniko, your wings are real, huh?" Hara asked, everyone looked at me, waiting for an answer.

"Yes, they are." I answered hesitantly. "And?"

"How did you get them?"

Everyone fell silent and anticipated for the answer.

"When Ritsu first came to our classroom and started shootin' up the place, I ditched class and found a quiet place to study. I fell asleep and when I woke up, there was a bit of pain in my back, but I ignored it. I thought it was 'cause I slept on the ground. I felt real tired and passed out. When I woke up, they were on my back." I finished and fluttered the wings.

The students stared at her in silence, until the redhead asked another question.

"Do they know?"

"Not my uncle." I answered. "Now that I've spilled the beans, you are not allowed to say a word about this to anyone else, except for Irina and Karasuma. They don't know about this." I started to walk back to class to get my things.

I assume they wouldn't want to hang around another monster. The others didn't move, as expected.

Until I heard footsteps coming after me. They didn't treat me like I was different on our way back. Everyone still talked to me like usual.
