(A/N Sorry for the unannounced break. I wasn't in a condition to write because I was stressed about so things irl.)
(Ryoto's pov)
I turned towards Koro-sensei, who had just stopped from finishing the job. My eyes were cold and emotionless at the mont, just like that of a true assassin.
Ryoto: "What is it Koro-sensei?"
Koro-sensei: "I know how you feel, Yuuki-kun, but you shouldn't kill him. We have the antidote in the briefcase, so there's no need for further action."
His words were calm, but he was probably nervous on the inside. What kind of teacher would want his student to kill soone... oh, wait.
Ryoto: "If I let him free, he will escape and be a constant danger to our class. Can't you see it?"
Karasuma: "I'll personally see to it that he will answer for his actions."
Karasuma butted in.
Ryoto: "And I thought that I was naive. The higher-ups you work for will try and use him since, as you have noticed, he possesses knowledge about tentacles like no one we know, so they'll probably free him to kill Koro-sensei. They'll use everything they can to save Earth, and you know it. That's why I'll just end him now."
There was a silence for a mont.
Koro-sensei: "...Are you going to kill every incoming danger. Why didn't you kill Irina then? She is one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. And how about... ? I know that you could kill before the deadline, but you are not even trying. You even stopped attempting class assassinations just like today. I know that you're feeling guilty because of what has happened, but you can't control everything, and you must rember that it's not your fault. Your classmates aren't as powerless as you believe and don't need your protection. Sotis great power can blind you about the most obvious things."
Not my fault? But he went after .
As I heard these words, I rembered the exact opposite of them that soone said to a long ti ago.
'It's all your fault!!!'
These were the words I heard that stuck to , so hearing that it wasn't my fault was a shock to .
The ti when they said to that it was my fault was one of the hardest ti to live through, and I feel like it was the beginning of my downfall in my previous life. It also could be the cumulation of all my life up to that point, but it's not important now. What is essential, however, is that Koro-sensei said sothing that I didn't even know I needed to hear.
I am aware that I'll need to kill at so point in the future. If not in this world, then I would do it in the next one or even in my howorld, but looking around, I saw most of my classmates looking at , waiting for my decision I felt a hit on my head.
Ryoto: "Ouch."
It didn't really hurt, but I said it out of habit.
I turned my head a little seeing a smiling Karma.
Karma: "Quite the dilemma you're in, but it's unnecessary nonetheless. You want to get rid of them because you think that we're weak, but I would argue that the weak one is you."
I raised my eyebrow.
Ryoto: "You are aware that I can benchpress 15 tons."
Karma: "No, but it doesn't change that I would win against you."
Ryoto: "You sound very confident for soone who dropped in the ranking during finals."
A vein popped out on his forehead, and his smile beca strained. He took out his trusty marker and tried to draw on my face.
Ryoto: "Hey, stop that!"
I couldn't move my arms as I was still keeping Shiro from moving. I tried to create so distance with my leg, but Karma grabbed and held it. I could shake him off, but I was afraid that I would free Shiro by accident. I moved my head around to avoid the marker.
Ryoto: "Okay, okay, I understand! Can you stop now?"
Karma didn't stop, and he succeeded in drawing so things on my face. I didn't want to free Shiro more than I didn't want to have Karma draw on my face. After he finished the mustache, he looked satisfied with his work.
I was annoyed at this point asked.
Ryoto: "Are you done?"
Karma: "I was, but now I gained a second wind."
After a short while, we were done with our bickering, and it helped calm down a bit.
I turned to Koro-sensei with a small smile.
Ryoto: "I understand where you're coming from, and I may be a little overprotective of people I care about, and I'll try to work on it in the future, but it doesn't change that Shiro is dangerous. Besides, he pissed off, so I'll at least render him harmless. I advise everyone to look away. It won't be a pretty sight."
I waited for a mont to give them a chance to turn away. I looked around to see if everyone were ready, and then I turned to Shiro. He didn't hear or see anything as he closed his eyes to not let show him illusions. In his ears still were sitting earplugs as he didn't have a chance to take them off. He probably was scared, which I liked, but nothing would prepare him for what I was about to do.
His limbs started to bend and twist in unnatural ways.
Shiro: "AAAAHH!!!"
His scream, full of pain, filled the air, but I didn't stop. Blood started to gush out, but I manipulated it in a way so he wouldn't die of blood loss, but I made sure that he would never use his arms or legs in his life.
Fortunately, he didn't faint, but as I finished, he started laughing maniacally despite the pain he felt.
Shiro: "Hahahahahaha!!! You may have defeated , but you won't be able to save anyone! The briefcase is empty! Hahahahaha-!!!"
He was becoming annoying, so I knocked him out with a kick. If it wasn't for quest rewards, I would kill him now out of rage, but as I respect Koro-sensei and decided against traumatizing my classmates, I didn't do it.
Seeing Shiro now, I fell a little sick. It's not like I didn't see grueso things before, but Shiro's state is especially horrifying with his twisted limbs.
There was silence. Everyone was shocked by the turn of the events. Koro-sensei and Karasuma, while accustod to such sights, were quiet as well. In this silence, the only thing I heard was the sound of a completed mission.
__________
*PING*
*QUEST COMPLETED*
Reward: 500 SP, 2 gacha tickets, all-purpose antidote x30
__________
I went up to the briefcase and force opened it. I stealthily put the antidotes inside there, and we all returned to where our sick classmates were being taken care of. While my mood was better on our way back, it was still bad, so I ignored the assassin group that greeted us.
Kaede was next to the whole way down. It seed like this event didn't affect her much, so I asked her about it.
Ryoto: "Weren't you scared or at least disgusted by what happened?"
She shook her head gently.
Kaede: "No. When Koro-sensei separated from the tentacles, so of the quirks during my 'acting ti' stayed, like my sweet tooth, hatred towards big boobs, or my assassin's tendencies. When the tentacles asked what my wish was, I answered that I wanted to be a killer. Until now, I didn't know that sothing of a killer was still inside . I probably wouldn't bat an eye even if you killed him. In fact, I would be happy for this man to die but seeing him suffer was satisfactory as well. Does it make weird?"
Ryoto: "Kaede... you injected a tentacle inside your body that hurt you enough to make a grown male cry, and you acted like nothing was happening, and it wasn't one day. No, you were hiding it for a few weeks. If it didn't sohow affect you in any way, then it would be strange. Besides, you're talking to a guy who can climb walls, shoot fire, control water, and literally made a man play forced twister. Do you really want to talk about 'normal' with ?"
Hearing my answer, Kaede smiled and didn't say anything more, but she maintained her small smile.
