Chapitre 21: Chapter 21

The moon exploding was a big news that caused a splash everywhere. The moon was an important celestial body in the first place.

But surprisingly, the after effects didn't cause any deaths aside from what mass panic and riots did. The ocean levels did change, a few new places for discovered due to it, and there were a few places which got flooded.

Property damage happened, but it wasn't too bad.

People attributed it to the government, but Gakushuu was slightly suspicious. The government never really cared about semi-natural disasters, so, preemptive measures to save lives?

Gakushuu was very very suspicious.

Then he came across some news. Interviews of the victims were being taken down from the news, there was indirect news but direct news was being shut down.

It wasn't particularly hard actually, since there was bigger news but Gakushuu was already looking underneath the surface the government wanted to show the public.

Witnesses claimed they had almost been teleported to another place when they were about to die or get hurt. Those witnesses were hushed up to prevent spread of the news, but human nature was as it was.

Some people slipped past or violated the agreement to send news of all sorts out. This news blended with many others but Gakushuu already had clues already.

Someone else was saving people from the floods.

And it was one person, no matter how contradictory it was. Even if it felt almost at the same time, it was actually one person moving incredibly fast.

There was video evidence of a yellow blur. And it solidified the impossible idea in Gakushuu's mind.

A being of antimatter who was fast but not a bad person, if they were going around saving people.

But if the person wasn't bad, then the government was obviously the one at fault. The suppression of news meant that they wanted to put the person as the 'bad guy' or they didn't want information about the man to get out.

Or both, he thought darkly.

 

Then, Gakushuu started to notice a theme in his father's visitors.

The military came to visit him more often. They came with things.

Gakuhou could control what went on inside his office, but he couldn't hide the people coming and going from his house or office from a determined Gakushuu.

And Gakushuu could find out who the person was from their faces, which they couldn't cover without looking even more suspicious.

And Gakushuu could run plates for cars since he was 8, thank you father.

So the military came to visit his father. Consistently. With papers. And things.

Gakushuu couldn't get to any of them, but he knew the people who came to drop them.

He couldn't talk to all of them, but he talked to a few, and he slipped out more information from their own lips without them realizing what he knew.

They thought they were reassuring him, but he was actually just getting information from them.

He found one man coming in more consistently.

Karasuma Tadaomi.

When he had innocently asked him, he had replied with difficulty that he was going to become a teacher in his father's school.

Which would have seemed obtrusive enough.

Except.

There were government agents going back and forth with his father for the last few days. Even if Karasuma pretended like he had retired from the military (officially) and he was looking for a job (with his qualifications?) and his father had decided to hire him due to their previous acquaintance (his father didn't believe in nepotism).

The amount of suspicious points in the things he said were almost too many.

And. Teacher???

Why???

He grilled the man but his father saved the other man from him with a glare.

How extremely suspicious.

 

It came to a head a little after a week since the moon exploded.

Karasuma became the teacher of class E.

Gakushuu, once again, panicked.

Then he went to find Karma.

"Have you heard about your teacher?" He asked a moment after he met the other boy.

Karma, suspiciously, shut his mouth with a click sound. A surprised noise emerging from his throat.

Gakushuu's 'I knew it' couldn't be more obvious.

"So?" He asked, apprehensively. Karma's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"And what do you know?" Gakushuu tried to not stiffen up suspiciously.

He didn't know what Karma knew, but the other might have information that the other person didn't know.

Gakushuu hummed under his breath.

"Did you sign an NDA?" He guessed. The government was involved after all.

Surprise flashed over Karma's face, then relief. But Gakushuu shook his head.

"No, don't tell me. I didn't sign it," he clarified. "You need plausible deniability."

"I can still tell you," Karma tilted his head, confused.

"No, if you don't, then I can still help you," Gakushuu replied. "The underground is also involved so you might get involved with some annoying politics as well. If you get caught by someone or the other, I can get to you even without the military."

Karma frowned.

"The military seemed pretty intent on letting us kill him, they gave us-"

"No, stop," he interrupted. "If I learn too much at once, they can probably erase my memory."

Gakushuu's mind raced, and even more suspicious things started to link in his mind. He had already gained too much information from Karma already.

The antimatter being had a relationship of some kind with Yukimura Aguri. Maybe they had a relationship before -

No, then Gakushuu would have found a missing person's report. So, someone who built a relationship of some kind with Aguri while they were experimented on.

He had been about ready to forcefully transfer Karma to another school, if he had to. Or change the class.

But, plans needed changing.

The man wanted to teach.

But the students were allowed to attempt assassination?

Karasuma was an excellent military agent. He was there to keep an eye on the teacher. The students were probably expendable.

Not to mention, the memory wipe. He had been suspecting something similar when some witnesses posted something online then came to interviews to clarify that it was just them wanting their 15 minutes of fame.

And they had obviously been truthful. They weren't exactly people trained in lying in the first place.

And weapons.

Special weapons or items that could hurt the antimatter being.

Gakushuu massaged his forehead.

There were way too many hints and theories. But one thing is for sure.

"You're bait," he said clearly, "No one expects you to actually kill him. The government is throwing you at the being like you're a plaything. They don't care about you living or dying."

Gakushuu looked Karma in the eye. He didn't look surprised or like it was new information.

Anyone could have deduced this much from the whole situation, let alone Karma.

"That's never stopped me before," Karma replied, his words were arrogant but his eyes were reassuring. "I've never gone along with people's expectations of me before and it's not going to change now."

He shrugged.

"But figure everything out soon, Shuu. Or you'll be the one being left behind," Karma grinned mischievously.

"I doubt that ," Gakushuu smirked back.

It was slightly reassuring to have Karma go in with his eyes wide open. Plus, Gakushuu didn't need to know the beings specs to know that he was probably already world-ending strong.

It would be easier to take Karma out of the being's eyes before he started class, but after might be impossible.

Plus, it was perhaps a little selfish and impossible, but Gakushuu wanted class E to do the impossible.

Wouldn't that be something?

A complete overturning of his father's education system. Gakushuu had control over the main campus, but he had never managed to get into class E students' heads. Some resented him, some liked him, but mostly, they all just disliked the students of the main building.

Even if Gakushuu gave them some amount of power, they would take it, riot and then get punished just as soon. He had never been able to induce a change in them, even with Yukimura's kind nature to nurture them.

The students might react differently, but the moment an opportunity came, they just gave up. The few that didn't, just wanted to hurt the main school students like they had been.

It wasn't what he wanted to do, but he had never been able to help them yet.

But this super being who seemed like he wasn't going around killing people in his free time, but helping.

Gakushuu saw a new path forming in front of him.

And, everyone liked rooting for the underdog, didn't they?

So, Gakushuu might have slightly underestimated the being.

He had kept an eye on the families of class E, and the camera hadn't even caught a yellow blur before the name plates in front of the house disappeared.

Gakushuu had to slow it down and watch frame by frame to find the slightest hint of yellow blur being caught in maybe two of the cameras.

Two. Out of twenty six.

But this also told him that the class had met up with the being.

That meant, Gakushuu could do more information gathering from them before Karma caught up.

He planted listening devices in the students' bags. It was manual, so there weren't any waves that could be emitted. He didn't know what the being could detect, but it was better to be safe.

The camera in the teacher's lounge had been detected first but no one had checked the students' bags.

After the day, he sneaked it out of the bag, downloaded it into his laptop and listened for clues.

And he had to shake his head at the clumsy attempts of the students to kill the teacher. He had received a lot of information just by using the students themselves, but with the information he got…

This method might not be useful for much longer.

But he had other ideas too. He would put cameras all over the mountain instead. Also, he had the basic idea about this Koro-sensei, so he could try to see if he could detect transmitted image or audio signals. He would have to do a few experiments to find out a bit more.

But overall, Gakushuu was relieved to find that he actually seemed like he was trying to encourage his students. He didn't seem like he was going to destroy the Earth, aside from his constant threats otherwise.

Also, if he had destroyed the moon, the question would be why?

Gakushuu had thought there were two different bases for the research. If the man was from the research on the moon, then what happened on Earth?

If the man was from the Earth research center, then how did the moon get destroyed?

Gakushuu understood Koro-sensei was trying to claim credit for it, but the act itself didn't seem to suit the character he was going for. Or was that the true character of Koro-sensei?

He sighed. This was why he would rather not be a PI. They could work themselves to death alone, thank you.

 

Unfortunately, Gakushuu couldn't just forget about class A and spend all his time researching the antimatter being called Koro-sensei.

The moon blowing up was pretty scary and only his reassurance of knowing the cause and surety of it not happening to Earth, had stopped his classmates from starting their own doomsday conspiracy. Or disappearing off the face of Earth to lead an extravagant life in the islands of the Caribbean.

Honestly, it was a problem that his own classmates were smart enough to overlook the bullshit of the government. Well, it wasn't just his problem though.

People in Kunugigaoka would probably burst at the seams if they knew the world-destroying creature was literally a hill away.

 

By the time Karma's suspension was over, Gakushuu had discovered that firstly, no, Koro-sensei could not discover signal transition, but he was really good at spotting differences in the classroom.

Secondly, Nagisa was probably a secret ninja.

Third, Koro-sensei was crazy intimidating.

When they found a bug in Nagisa's bag, Koro-sensei had taken it away and Gakushuu had assumed that it was going to be destroyed. But Koro-sensei had turned threatening instead.

He turned completely black and, on the assumption that Gakushuu was an assassin, told him to never use the students themselves to hurt Koro-sensei though he welcomed any assassination attempts otherwise.

Which. Hm.

Contradictory.

But Gakushuu would appreciate it as soon as the cold sweat stopped dripping down his back.

Gakushuu also found that the underworld was slowly teeming with information about the super creature. An assassination request to kill a creature that went to Mach 20 speed at his highest, was round, yellow and had tentacles like an octopus.

If the assassination request was accepted, then special weapons would be provided.

It was a government officiated request so the ones who succeeded would receive money and also, they would be taken off the wanted list of the government. They could even request official citizenship.

The underground wasn't a place where the criminals could just live as honest people. Most of the people were born into it, and they didn't know much else.

But it also showed that the government was desperate. It showed how highly they viewed the being.

Let alone Kunugigaoka, if the being had asked for half a country, the nation's might have had to follow the request.

The only reason they had even left it alone to teach was because they needed the time to plan, and the criminals themselves were also a stop gap.

Everything they were throwing at the being was their desperate attempt to buy themselves time.

But, Gakushuu liked that even in spite of having the whole world try to kill him, Koro-sensei was determined to do what he wanted. He travelled the world and ate sweets, he bought pervy magazines, he studied and taught his students, all the while cheerily fighting off assassinations from the nations, other assassins and his own students.

It was funny, entertaining and entirely unusual. And it lent credit to another theory of Gakushuu's.

He was used to having his life threatened. He was born in the underground, so people like that were rarely ever on records. It was easy to forget about morality when the person being experimented on was a man who had killed multiple people before.

It was a reason why prisoners of war were generally the first people to be experimented on by enemies. It was easy to just think of them as 'enemies who killed our own' and move on with life.

When Karma arrived, Gakushuu was mostly certain that the teacher, at least, wouldn't hurt the students.

So he decided to stay out of class E's development and watch instead of interfering as he had intended.

 

It was funny that when he had decided the teacher wasn't a threat, the students decided to take up the role of threatening themselves well enough.

He wasn't unaware of Nagisa's suicide/murder attempt, but he certainly hadn't been expecting something like that from Karma.

When Karma had been the first to injure the superhuman, Gakushuu had been pleasantly surprised. He had heard about it from discussions between the students afterwards. His subsequent attempts had ended in embarrassment, which Gakushuu was almost sad to miss.

Karma in a pink apron would have been hilarious to see. Gakushuu made sure to rub it in, by buying Karma a pink apron that evening.

He scowled at Gakushuu with his slightly flustered expression and Gakushuu absolutely laughed at him for it.

But, Gakushuu wasn't laughing when he spent his lunch replaying the video of Karma jumping off a cliff with a gun in his hand.

The only reason he hadn't immediately run for class E was because he wasn't sure he could run past the sickness in his stomach. And also because it would give away it was him behind the camera.

Koro-sensei didn't remove the camera from around the hill on the assumption that he was an assassin. Since the Ministry of Defence wouldn't tell Koro-sensei how many people and who had accepted the assassination request, Koro-sensei played nice.

Gakushuu was taking advantage of an information gap between them.

But that wouldn't have meant much if Karma had actually succeeded.

Gakushuu spent the rest of the day so dedicated to his studies that he finished the slight backlog he had accumulated by obsessing over class E.

But he couldn't get Karma's attempt out of his mind. He didn't go to see him that day.

Or the day after.

Gakushuu wasn't generally someone who doubted himself.

But this time, he doubted his belief in Karma's words.

Karma's 'I don't want to die' that is.
