Once Upon an Assassin

Chapter 17

KONOMI P.O.V.

The classroom was awfully quite, something that was unusual in class E.

"I still can't believe you're the one who caused this....." Nagisa-kun muttered as he stared at the phone that was playing today's news.

Most of our classmates were gathered behind him or watching their own phones.

"Four students from Kunugiaoka junior high were taken in for questioning about extreme physical bullying this morning.

Approximately at noon yesterday, a video was leaked all over social media, which quickly spread all over the world. The video contained four students wearing the Kunugiaoka uniform kicking and beating an unknown male on the floor. In the video, it is visible that the one taking the occurrence stopped the violence and helped the male who was attacked off of the floor before dodging the punches thrown at them. Though the video quickly ended with a crash, the police is hoping to find the person who took the video to make sure they are safe.

The chairman of Kunugiaoka, Asano Gakuho, will be having a meeting today in the afternoon to reveal the punishment such as suspension that the students present in the video will receive.

Currently it is 1:30 in the afternoon with Niko Niko news, have a wonderful afternoon."

I nonchalantly looked down at my nails as the news ended. Though feeling obvious stares, I looked up.

I sweat dropped slightly as I realized most of my classmates were staring at me in disbelief.

"Did you do this for Maehara....?" Sugino-kun questioned as he looked at me with disbelief in his blue eyes.

I shrugged my shoulders, picking at my nails, "I was already at my peak, those main campus students need to learn to just ignore us and not discriminate us," I calmly state before smiling at Maehara.

The said boy grinned widely and sent me a flirtatious wink, pointing to his phone.

"Now, don't start flirting with me, alright? Cause I don't date playboys, let me know when you fixed your habit," I joked, making Maehara pout, holding his chest in fake hurt.

A small chuckle escaped my mouth but when I saw Okano-chan, I immediately looked at her apologetically.

She seemed to see the emotion I wanted to tell her in my eyes and smiles, nodding in understanding.

A small sigh of relief escape my lips. Okano-chan definitely had feelings for Maehara.

"Ah, Nagisa-kun, look at this cute picture I got of Konomi!"

My head snapped up at the familiar voice as it randomly brought in a topic not related to anything from the previous conversation. I stared at Karma with my lilac eyes wide as he showed his screen to Nagisa-Kun and few people.

"Wha-?!"

"What were you guys doing?"

"Kyaaaa!!!!"

A gulped down the lump in my throat and stared at Karma in horror.

By the reaction of my classmates.... This doesn't sound good.

I jumped over my table and lunged for Karma but the red head seemed to have saw my action from the corner of his eyes.

He smiled mischievously and held his phone away from me as he continued to show our classmates.

"Aw, what's wrong Konomi? Are you shy?"

A small growl escaped my lips as I pushed against him, "I don't even know what you're showing them, but by their reaction, it can't be good! What the hell did you do Karma!!!!" Hissing, I reached for the phone but Karma just kept easily dodging.

"K-Konomi-chan! What kind of relationship are you with Karma-kun!!" Kaede-chan questioned as she blushed pink.

"A regular relation classmates should have!!!" I yelled as I tried to grab the red haired devil who kept jumping around.

Suddenly my phone beeped, indicating I received a message.

Pulling my iPhone out of my pocket, I looked at the text in shock.

My eyes snapped up and stared at Karma who now has horns sprouting out of his head and a devil's tail swishing behind him.

"You...." My hands shook as my bangs covered my eyes, "You pervert!!! I knew you did something when you slept over! I told you to not come near me as I slept!" I growled, "Erase the picture! Erase it!!"

"SLEPT OVER?!" Our classmates yelled in shock.

Karma snickered, smirking very widely, "Well the cats out of the bag, looks like we need to reveal our relationship!"

"We didn't have relationship from the beginning!" I state, calming myself down, "Mom told you to stay over because you're at your house alone. That didn't mean you could take a picture of me sleeping while you climbed into my bed. And even after I told you not to!" I sighed, rubbing my face.

Karma pouted as he placed a arm over my shoulders, "No need to be so cold, we did sleep together! And look even in the picture you can see that you were snuggling up to me!" The red head smirked, showing off his white teeth.

My cheeks flushed lightly as I looked down at my phone.

Although I could only see one side of my face, you could see that my mouth was slightly opened as I was curled up beside Karma. The said red head was smirking into his phone, looking rather pleased with himself.

I snapped my head back at the red head, frowning at him.

"Karma! Come on!" I sighed, slipping my phone into my pocket of my jacket.

Karma just shook his head and placed his phone in his own pocket.

"Don't be too mean to her, Karma. Why don't you just erase the picture for her?" A hand was placed on my shoulder, making me look back slightly.

Yūma-kun smiled at me kindly, his pale gold eyes twinkling slightly. Though for some reason I felt like his smile was slightly strained.

"Butt out, Isogai-kun. I don't think this has anything to do with you," Karma makes a remark as he smiles at Yuma-kun.

A frown made it to my face as I realized my red haired friend's smile was slightly threatening, sending a warning to the class president.

Though what shocked me was that Yūma-Kun didn't back off either.

"I was just doing what I think was right. The photo you took of Konomi-chan makes her uncomfortable, the right thing to do is erasing it," Yūma-kun countered, walking up to the redhead.

From the corner of my eyes I could see that the class got suddenly quiet, nervous shuffling of feet being the only noise heard in the classroom.

This was not good...

The Ikemen and the Trickster of the class going to fight? Over my stupid picture?

I took a step forward and opened my mouth but stopped as the door of the classroom slammed open, revealing a busty blonde.

"Alright brat! Sit down! I'm starting the lesson already!"

Nagisa-kun sighed in slight relief and gave me a small pat on my shoulder.

"I thought a fight was going to break out...." He whispered to me before he walked to his seat.

I nodded in agreement and sat in my seat next to Karma, who was grumpily looking forward.

Bitch-sensei turned on a T.V., showing us an video of a conversation between to foreign people.

Placing a hand on my cheek, I let out a yawn before turning my attention back to the screen.

As the conversation ended the blonde teacher looked at us, with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Did you get all that? None of the vocabulary used in Samantha and Carrie's sex talk is difficult," Bitch-sensei stated as she looked at us with her blue eyes, "No matter the country, everyday conversation is like this. You probably know someone who uses phrases like 'seriously awesome' or 'seriously awful', right? That phrase, 'Maji de' you use in Japanese is the English word 'really' which you already know. Kimura," she pointed to the front of the class, "Try saying it."

The said boy stood up nervously, "Li-Liaree..."

"No!" Bitch-sensei growled as she crossed her fingers creating an 'x', "You're getting the 'l' and 'r' all mixed up. Konomi, say it for the class once."

I frowned slightly but stood up, "Really," I pronounced as the class looked at me.

"Good, now say 'really lost' using both 'r' and 'l'."

"Really lost. Bitch-sensei can I please just sit down...?" I grumbled avoiding eye contact with my classmates. This is slightly awkward.

Bitch-sensei smirked but nodded, "Did you hear the way she said the 'r' and 'l'? There is a distinct difference right? You all need to learn the pronunciation between the 'r' and 'l'. It's inevitable for mispronunciation to exist between languages. We are going to conquer your mispronunciation!!!" Bitch-sensei energetically stated as she raised her fist into the air.

I slumped in my seat and sighed... This really isn't something I need.

"From this point on, I'll be constantly checking on your pronunciation so," the blonde female placed a finger on her puckered lip, "If you make a mistake between the 'l' and 'r', you'll receive a deep kiss in front of the class as punishment."

My eyes widen in shock... What, maji de?!

>>TIME SKIPS>>

"Ha!!!" A small grunt left my mouth as I jumped, aiming a high kick at my partner's head.

Karma grabbed my leg and moved to throw me into the ground but before he could, I kicked my other leg up as well. To keep the balance, my hands were on the ground.

The red head made a click with his tongue and leaped back. But as soon as he did leap back, he lung forward again, an anti-sensei knife in his hand.

I rolled on the floor but he quickly made me stay in place as he placed one of his knee partly on my stomach and chest. The other was on the floor beside my side.

As we panted, he placed the rubber blade at my neck grinning widely.

"I win~"

I grunted in reply, slightly annoyed that he won this time.

He chuckled and got off, pulling me up as well.

"Damn it, it was my misjudgment... I shouldn't have rolled on the floor," I grumbled as I moved to get all the twig and dust out of my hair that was in a pony tail.

Karma placed his hand on my head, patting my lilac hair lightly, "It's a tie again, but it looks like we are the only one actually training."

I lifted my head and looked at where two people were trying to attack my uncle.

Tada-San expertly dodged both Bitch-sensei and the said women's master's attack.

A small sweat drop fell on my head... Jeez... What were they even thinking?

"They should know... It's nearly impossible to actually get Tada-san," I sighed, retying my hair, "My uncle is a top notch fighter and he absolutely loves it as well." I state, walking to where my classmates were watching.

Karma followed after me, placing his hands in his pants pocket like usual.

Both Kaede-chan and Nagisa-kun notice as we walk up.

"Konomi-chan! I've never really seen Karasuma-sensei fight but he's really cool huh?" Kaede-chan bounced on the ball of her heels as she grinned up at me.

I nodded my head in agreement, carefully watching the way my uncle dodged and maneuvered around the attacks.

My fingers twitched slightly, wanting to join the fight as well.

"Konomi-chan?

I stepped forward as both Bitch-sensei and her teacher panted, giving up on attacking.

Tada-San looked at me with his eyebrows up in questioning.

I just smiled coolly at him, "My turn please. It's been such a long time since I had a spar with you."

The older male stared at me for a moment before a large creepy grin appeared on his face.

I sweat dropped as I realized that my classmates all took a step back at his smile, looking a bit disturbed.

My uncle slipped off his blazer and placed it in Yūma-kun's arms before he stood in front of me.

"I expect you to give me some entertainment Konomi. More than those two," he stated as he looked at Bitch-sensei and her master.

The two of them immediately grew an anime vein by his remark and growled lowly.

A small chuckle escaped my lips as I shrugged, "I'm not too sure. If I can take on Dad, I might be able to take on you."

With that, I moved forward, aiming a punch at the man. Though as expected, he dodged, sending his own attack at me.

His foot shot out, but before it could make contact with me, I flipped out of the way, using his shoulder as a leverage.

As my body was pulled down to the ground by gravity, I grabbed Tada-San into a head lock, throwing him to the floor as well.

Though as we landed on the floor, my uncle slammed his elbow into my chest, knocking the air out of me.

A small wheeze escaped my lips but I quickly moved out of the way as he threw a punch at me.

I put some distance between us before I calmly walked forward.

Tada-San has his fist in front of him in position, but I kicked him on his thigh, side, and with a high kick at his neck before my feet slammed into his chest, returning the favor from earlier.

He wheeze for a moment before he staggered back up, much like how I did earlier.

This time he attacks me, grabbing me by my shirt and throwing me over his shoulder, making me slam into the floor.

I gasp, but roll over as he aims punches at me. As he aims for my stomach, my feet kicks up the kicking him off of me.

I jump up and pant slightly, watching Tada-San carefully as he wipes his mouth.

We both moved at the same time, throwing punches and kicks, stopping each other's attacks with our legs and arms.

"Ugh!" I grunted as I covered my face as he punched my arm.

Though I wasn't the only one making pained noises. As my foot and leg connected with his side, he winced. Wobbling ever so slightly.

We both jumped back panting, preparing for the next attack. But just as we were about to move, we were interrupted.

"I believe that is enough, no? We wouldn't want Konomi-san to go home all bruised up and tired."

I snap my head to the side and see Koro-sensei grinning wickedly with a video camera in hand.

"Nufufu! That was fantastic! The technique that were used were extremely high level and exciting," the yellow octopus laughed as he wiggled his tentacles, "If I were to post this on online, I wonder how many views I would receive..."

I placed a hand over my eyes and decided to act like I didn't hear the last sentence my teacher muttered.

Though my tensed shoulders relaxed as I stretched my back lightly.

"Well done, you've improved since the last time...." Tada-San groaned as he massaged his stomach with his hand, "That didn't hurt at all."

I rolled my eyes and rubbed my own stomach that was hit few times, "Yeah, yeah. Doesn't hurt at all," I grumbled in annoyance.

I turned to where all my classmates stood and saw them starting at me with their eyes large and shiny.

"That was so sick!" Sugino loudly stated as he walked up to me.

I smiled at the baseball maniac in thanks.

Kaede-chan was pouncing around excitedly as she held onto a piece of my shirt, "Kono-chan! Kono-chan! You need to teach me how to do that as well!"

I couldn't help but laugh slightly at her enthusiasm. But I can't imagine her doing any of that...

Beside the green haired female, Nagisa-kun was scribbling into his small, handy dandy note book, seeming to be slightly excited with some information he gained.

I couldn't help but nudge him slightly, "Did you find something interesting about me?" I teased.

The pastel blue haired boy snapped his his head up, looking at me slightly embarrassed, "Uh... Well... Konomi-chan, you have a habit of attacking an opponent from the right side all the time... If your opponent notices that, they're likely be able dodge your attacks more..."

Humming slightly, I took a mental note. That's good to know for feature reference.

As I was thinking, a hand touched my left cheek from behind, making me jump.

"Ah, g-gomen, there's some dirt right near your beauty mark. I just wanted to rub it off," Yūma-kun nervously stated, looking slightly embarrassed by his own action.

His cheeks were slightly flushed as he avoided eye contact with me.

He was cute...

"Heh? Really, can you help me?" I couldn't help but question slightly, wanting to tease him a bit.

The black haired boy looked embarrassed, his cheeks growing pinker. Though he nodded his head and placed a hand on my left cheek, brushing his thumb over my beauty mark.

My nose twitched slightly as I heart Koro-sensei squealing, "Kya! How bold...Nufufufufu...."

That bastard...

"I-It's off..." Yūma-kun stuttered, stepping away while bitting his lower lip.

I glared at Koro-sensei who was scribbling into his notebook before I sent the teen in front of me an closed eyes smile, "Thank you, Yūma-kun, I really appreciate it."

"N-No! No, it's nothing...."

I watched as he scratched his head looking flustered but got distracted as I saw Karma glaring at our direction.

Uh oh...

Though when I realized he wasn't coming this way, I relaxed.

"You, the child with purple hair."

Hearing a description similar to mine, I looked at Bitch-sensei's master.

He motioned me to come over to him with his finger.

Confused, I complied and walked up to him warily.

"Hello, uh-"

"Lovro Brofski."

I smiled and took his hand, "Well, it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Brofski, my name is Konomi Royal," I spoke in English, feeling that this man felt more comfortable in that language.

He seemed slightly surprised but nodded in some kind of satisfaction.

"Well, I've watched your fight with Karasuma, and I have to say I'm rather impressed. I was not expecting a student to have skills that might even match an assassin," he spoke, his English having a slight Russian accent.

I smiled respectfully at him, "Thank you, actually, Tada-San is my uncle, and I've received training for an longer period than the rest of my classmates. Thats probably why my skills are slightly higher than my classmates, I had an unfair advantage," I state.

The man known as Lovro nodded, he suddenly pulled at a rectangular paper, handing it to me.

"As I watched you fight, I believe you have a natural talent as this job, if you are ever interested," my eyes shifted to the card that held information, "Please let me know, with a bit of training I believe you can achieve to be a world class assassin."

I rose one eyebrow up in surprise at the sudden offer, how unrealistic and cliche.

Assassin?

Ha, I've never really thought myself as an assassin...

Currently my job as a class E student is to kill Koro-sensei. I wasn't planning on continuing killing after the destruction of the yellow octopus but...

It might be a good idea keeping this....

"Alright, thank you. I'll have to think about it," I politely stated, playing the card in my pocket.

The older male nodded and walked away.

Being an assassin huh...?

A/N

If anyone is interested, Konomi's style of fighting is similar to karate and type of entertainment known as tricking.

Wattpad was being a meany and wouldn't let me post the video I wanted but I found one relatively similar I guess so check it out if you like. It's for a movie called High Kick Girl. If you go on YouTube and look up Takeda Rina, it should show up.

My favorite clip is probably the 1/9 one when she's going against multiple males in Karate uniform.

So Konomi's fighting style is similar to Takeda Rina, but our protagonists does more flips and jumps, something you can see in tricking.

If you're curious to what tricking is, you can find that on YouTube if you just type in tricking.

Oh and I almost forgot the drawing! It done by me, I quickly sketched it in like five minutes before trying to color it! And it's somewhat how the picture Karma took like looks.

It's not the best but I just wanted you all to get the rough idea how it looks!

Another thing! I have started a one shot story! The first chapter is an Karma x Konomi ones shot that will make you scream out with fangirl craziness.

Please check it out and request for one shots!!!
