Capítulo 22: Mission: EDpossible part 1(Ed)
Recap
Their assassination plan failed.
Their one chance to kill their teacher, and they blew it.
Things were bad enough, but now part of the class was poisoned and it was up to the rest of the class to save them.
'Success was so close, we could taste it, but then it happened. Korosensei revealed his absolute defense form. To make matters worse, our class was poisoned and with our mentor temporarily immobile, there was only one thing that we could do now. Deal with the culprit ourselves.'
Now
With learning what they had to do, the class kept looking at the high cliff in seriousness but also nervousness.
Karasuma didn't like the idea of them scaling the cliff side as he looked down at Korosensei and said "It's too dangerous. Whoever the guy is, he's a pro. This scenario has been planed out to the last detail" he said in frustration.
"Perhaps the wisest course of action would be to simply hand me over, is that right. Unconditional surrender. The choice is yours" said Korosensei in a coy way but then said it seriously when he mentioned about it being their choice.
Yada stood by Eric as he stared at the mountain with a serious and scowling look.
"Its just....this is so hard" said Yada in worried manner.
"I mean, look how high we have to climb" said Sugaya in surprise.
Irina looked up and just bluntly said "10 to 1, they plummet to their deaths before getting half way up."
'Way to show support, ya jerk.'
Hearing this, the class turned to Mr. Karasuma in waiting to see what he wanted to do but he took her words into consideration and said "Its not worth the risk. We play by the enemies rules. Eric, be..."
But just as he turned to face them, he noticed Eric was gone. This took him by surprise as he looked around and saw that he was already scaling the side of the cliff.
He gasped in shock as he said "Eric, what are you doing!?"
The class saw him on the cliff as well, already getting a head start as they began walking forward.
Eric stopped his climbing as he said "Every second we waste talking, my friends are dying. I said I'll be damned if anyone dies on my watch today and I intend to get the cure for them. So quit talking and start climbing" as he went back to climbing up the cliff.
Before Karasuma could say anything else, he turned to see the rest of the class joining him.
"Come on guys. Eric's right. We have to get going. Times ticking" said Yada as she climbed as fast as she could.
"Yea, what are we scared of? It's just a ledge, no bigg" said Isogai as he joined the two by going up the cliffside.
"I know. After all, what have we been training for?" said Okano as she climbed at a fast speed.
"Truth" said Hayami as she climbed up the cliff.
The teachers were amazed at the kids climbing the mountain on their own while Korosensei just giggled at Karasuma for being worried about them. " Nuruhuhuhuhu" he went.
Eric stopped his climbing as he looked down at Mr. K saying "We can handle this, after all you taught us these things. But whoever is at the top is a different story so Mr. K, we need you with us. We don't know who were dealing with so we need a professional to help us" as he looked at him with a serious face.
"Help us make this monster pay. Show him what happens when you mess with E-class" said Terasaka, as the class looked at him with serious looks too.
Karasuma still looked at the kids in awe at their determination but he was brought out of his thoughts as Korosensei said "Look at that. Driven by the need to save his friends, Eric is completely serious. As are all of them. Cleary these are no ordinary teenagers" as Karasuma lifted the bag holding Korosensei to look at him.
"You have a 16 members special forces unit at your beckon call" said Korosensei.
Irina looked back up at the kids and said "but I only count 15."
Nagisa's phone rang as he held it up, which showed Ritsu saying "Probably cause you didn't count me" as she did a piece sign.
"Quickly my friend. Time is of the essence" said Korosensei as Karasuma turned his attention back to the cliffside.
Hearing this, Karasuma began to ponder in thought and then looked back at the class and said "Ok, listen up. When we reach the summit, our objective is the hotel's top floor. This is a stealth infiltration so our best weapon is the element of surprise. I want you to use the same hand signals and link ups we've been using in PE. The only difference is the person we're targeting. You've got 3 minutes to memorize the map, know the terrain. We commence in 5" said Karasuma like a commander.
"Yes sir" said the whole class, while Eric looked back at the top of the mountain.
'We can't mess around. Every moment we waste talking, my friends are dying. No one will die today. So whoever was up there, they better be ready. E-class is coming for them.'

Double D was calculating their trajectory while Eddy was getting impatient and Eric was starting to regret it. Double D conclude that they would land in the field behind the building but isn't sure about it.

EDventure #22 — "Misson: EDpossible part 1"
Back at the hotel, Okuda and Takebayashi were busy keeping everyones temperature from rising.
Okuda was working on the Eds as she was placing cold clothes on their heads. Double D turned his head to face her as he said "Be sure to wash the rags. Just so you don't catch it either" as he then coughed badly.
"Right, I'll do that. Thanks Double D" said Okuda as she finished with them but then looked at the time.
She sighed as she said "Times running out. 50 minutes left."
Hearing this, Eddy said "Don't worry, brainiac. Eric's going to be back with the antidote in no time. Relax, it'll be fine. We'll be cured in no time" as he coughed.
Okuda looked at him as she said "How do you know?" in question.
Eddy gave a small smile as he said "If I know that guy, he wouldn't let us to die. He's going to that hotel and give that guy the beating of a lifetime. And he'll bring back that antidote and be fine, so don't freak out" as he coughed.
"Not the way I would put it, but yes. Eric has always looked out for us so we know he'll make it in time with the antidote. Don't worry so much, Okuda. We trust in Eric enough to save us" said Double D.
Okuda was surprised by their faith in Eric. But then again, after hearing all the adventures they had together, it can be understandable. But she still couldn't help but worry.
"I hope he can" she said as she looked at Double D's heated face but then turned around as she mumbled "I hope he can" as she finished talking and left to tend to the others.

Back on the cliff, the class was scurrying alongside the cliff in a hurry to get to the top.
Okano was scaling up the mountain in a fast pace as she stopped and yelled "Last one up is a rotten egg."
"Man, Okano moves like a mountain goat" said Kimura in amazement.
"Yea, she smokes everyone at this stuff" said Isogai as he kept on climbing.
Eric wasn't happy at her attempt of making it a game as he looked up at her in an anger expression saying, "This isn't a game, Okano. Every time you screw around, our classmates are dying so quit your goofing around and get to climbing" as he kept climbing while saying it all.
Okano flinched at his serious expression and just felt embarrassed now and just went back to climbing.
Eric kept climbing as fast as he could as the class looked at him after his outburst at Okano.
"He's taking this way more seriously than anything else" said Sugaya as he stopped.
"Yea, his outburst nearly made me fall, it was so scary" said Kayano.
"Well its understandable" said Yada as she stood on a flat level of rock, to which everyone turned to her.
"With all the things he and the Eds have been through, I can understand why he wants to get there now. He cares for them so much, he would do anything to protect them, which is why we have to take this seriously too, guys. So no screwing around and lets get going" said Yada with a determined voice.
The class nodded as they said "Right" and began climbing again.
Kimura then said "On the discussion of taking things seriously, I'm going to say this, knowing it perfectly obvious, but Mr. K is having the worst luck right now" as the class looked down and saw Irina clinging to Karasuma as he scaled the cliff, on his own with Korosensei hanging off his arm.
"I swear on my life if you drop me..." yelled Irina in annoyance.
Korosensei looked at his students in pride as he said "Let no one say my students don't have exceptional balance."
Karasuma stopped climbing as he said "You're welcome. I make them scale the cliff out back."
"Ah I see. That's explains their remarkable proficiency at fly boarding" said Korosensei as he remembered back to the assassination plan before.
While Karasuma kept scaling and Irina complaining, the class couldn't help but look at the group in question.
"So remind me why Miss bitch felt obligated to come along" asked Chiba to the class.
"She hates feeling left out. Character flaw" informed Meg to Chiba.
Terasaka scoffed as he said "I wouldn't mind her so much if she wasn't such a boat anchor" as he kept climbing.
While the class was talking, Eric was way ahead of the class, while Yada saw he was climbing very fast.
"Eric, wait slow down" she said.
Eric groaned as he said "Like I said before, we don't have time to wait. So keep climbing Yada" as he kept going.
Yada grew a worried face as she said "Yea I know but I just don't want you to fall or hurt yourself."
"Don't worry about me. This is about my friends, our friends, needing that antidote. So don't focus on me and focus on the task at hand" said Eric as he stopped to catch his breath.
Yada knew he would say something like that. Always putting others ahead of him before himself. But it made her a little sad to hear him say that she shouldn't worry about him. She can't help but worry. He's acting very different, in a sense. And when he talked about worrying about the others and not him, that didn't sit well with her. Like he was saying that their life was more important than his own.
"Why would he say that. His life is important, though. Not just to the Eds but to me as well. I know he's hurting so I've got to try and be there for him. He needs it right now" thought Yada as she and the rest of the class kept climbing and climbing, while Irina kept complaining to Karasuma about dropping her
Even while all of this was going on, Eric began to think more on what they were dealing with.
'Even with Irina's yells, how sore my hands felt, or how churned my stomach was at the thought of losing my best friends, I wondered. If this guy knows about Korosensei, who in the world could he be. And what else could he know.'
0000000000000000000000
The class and the teachers had finally made it up the mountain side and were now resting on the top, near some stone railings.
Once Karasuma caught his breath from the heavy lifting he had to do up the mountain, he pulled out his phone and then said "Ritsu. I want you to run one last check on our infiltration round."
Ritsu gave him a salute as she said "Right. Displaying interior map now."
On their phones now showed a blue interior design of the building as Ritsu said "Analyzing data. The elevators need a specific passcode for each floor" as as a yellow arrow began going through the layout of the building.
"Stairs are the less conspicuous option, but there's a catch. Access doors are arranged at weird angles across respected foyers and the stairs themselves cover a lot of ground. We risk detection at several locations" informed Ritsu.
"Cool, its like a tv station" said Chiba as he looked at his phone.
"What are you talking about?" asked Kayano in question.
"I heard they make the layout confusing on purpose. Its a precaution against terrorists" informed Chiba.
"Ah, I learned something today" said Kayano in amazement.
"Ironic bad guys like this sort of place as a randevu point" said Sugaya.
"Can we focus, please? Ritsu, are the doors electronically locked or do they need a key" asked Eric to Ritsu.
"Some doors use both methods but luckily this door is electric, but its locked. One moment" informed Ritsu as she began to work her magic.
After waiting a bit the class heard the door unlocked as Karasuma then stepped up and opened the door slightly, to make sure no one was there.
He then opened it widely as he ushered the kids in.
"Lets move, theres not much time" he said.
"Yea no kidding" said Eric as he hurried his way in, as did the rest of the class.
0000000000000000000000
The class walked through a hall and saw a big opening, with a spiral looking staircase, leading into what looked like a waiting area, with several chairs and tables, with a grand piano in it as well.
Karasuma had handed Korosensei to Nagisa as he around the wall and looked at the amount of guards they had there and asked "Why do they have so many security guards?"
"That's a lot of guys for all of us to sneak past" said Nagisa.
"Maybe its best if one or two of us take it from here. No, safety in numbers. We don't know who we're dealing with. How should we do this" thought Karasuma as he began thinking of what to do.
Irina seemed to have gotten tired of waiting as she just said "Come on people, what are we waiting for? Lets just do it already."
This made everyone look at her in question as Sugaya asked "Do you even comprehend the situation we're in right now?!"
"Yea, theres too many of them. And they may have guns with them and we don't...." said Eric but then Irina began walking out towards the open as this took the class by surprise as he quietly yelled "Are you out of your mind?!!"
Irina patted Karasuma's shoulder and said "Watch and learn sweethearts" as she began walking towards the group.
The class just gasped at what she was down while Korosensei said "Gulp."
The class then saw Irina began stumbling around like a drunk person would, which then caught the eye of one of the guards, while she pretended she wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into the guard.
"Oops" she said as she brushed her hair back, showing she had a drunk look on her face as she slurred "Sorry, blame the minibar in my room."
The guard just blushed as he said "Oh, no. It's fine, ma'am. No harm done."
Irina then looked to her left and saw they had a piano, standing in the middle.
"Is that... that's the piano I'm performing on next week. I came early to do the whole tours thing" said Irina in her "Drunken" state.
Hearing this, the other guards began making comments about "How good she is?" and hearing that was all Irina needed to know she had them right where she wanted them.
She began walking over to the piano and began to sit on the chair as she said "Mind if I play a few bars? Lets see if this baby's in tune. It'll help me sober up" as she then looked at the other guards as she asked "You boys have nothing against a little show right."
One of the guards became very flustered as he said "I mean, I'll check with the front desk but it should be......" and was about to leave but then he was stopped by Irina, holding onto his sleeve.
"Oh, they don't care. Come on help me out. It'll be a private concert. I love some audience feedback" she said, trying to seduce the guards.
"Uh, us? Feedback?" asked another guard.
"Sure, you work hard. You deserve a chance to play some critic. Help a lady hone her technique~" said Irina as she then began to play on the piano.
She then began playing piano music that you would hear in operas or things related to that nature. All of the guards, even the classmates, were taken in by how amazing she was at playing in the piano.
"Woah. She can really play" said Kimura.
"Ah the fantasy impromptu" said Korosensei, to which Eric looked at him in question and said "The what now?"
Korosensei kept looking at her as he said "That boys and girls...... is an assassin with multiply blades. She charms, she bewitches, she fills the air with sweet music. Captures the imagination. Every ear is seduced. Every eye is riveted" as Irina kept playing her music, hypnotizing the guards with her charms and skills.
Irina then saw that some of the guards will still in their positions, and were still in the preifereal vision of the kids. She knew she had to get them closer to her.
"What's wrong? Oh, are you a bit shy. Move in closer so you can see my fingering~" she said in her seductive way. This seemed to do the trick as the other guards began to move in closer.
She then began to lower herself down to hide her hand as she began making familiar hand signatures that said "I just bought you your 20 minutes. Get moving."
The class got her message and began to slowly make their way across the open area and made their way past the guards.
'For a moment, all of us were spell bound just like those security guards. Just when you think you know someone. Thank you, Professor Bitch. We owe you one.'
0000000000000000000000
The class made it to some stairs and stopped to make their next step
"We made it past the first check point!" said Kayano in excitement.
"Man, miss bitch has some talent. Who would've thought of it with those dragon claws of hers?" joke Sugaya.
"And she never mentioned she was good with the piano" said Isogai.
"Let this be a lesson to you to never judge a book by its cover. There's a lot more to a good assassin than meets the eye. Sure, she's crass and over bearing but your language arts teacher also happens to be one the most dangerous women in the world" informed Karasuma as the class stood in awe.
"Nuruhuhuhuhuhuhuhu, see class. Even when I have none, you are in good hands" chuckled Korosensei.
"Alright, yea she's good, but we're wasting time standing here. Come on, let's go" said Eric in a demanding voice as he walked up the steps and continued on.
The class was surprised he was still being this demanding but they knew why. He had such a bond with the Eds that he would do anything to protect them safe.
Karasuma saw him walking off and ran up the steps to follow him. He caught up with him and grabbed his shoulders and said "Eric, don't go running off like that. I get that we're on a time crunch but we need to stay together" but Eric moved his shoulder away and kept walking and said "Then keep up. Time is running out. We can't waste it on praising Miss Bitch" grunted Eric as he kept walking on.
Karasuma sighed as he didn't like how quick Eric was acting. Yea, they were running out of time but they still needed to keep a level head. The class joined Karasuma as they saw Eric walking ahead of them.
Yada was still worried about how Eric was doing. He was still acting different than before. He was normally level headed and knew how to keep his cool but that didn't seem to be the case here.
Karasuma was looking at his phone at the schematics while also keeping an eye on Eric until he was brought out of it by Korosensei saying "He's hurting on the inside and that's why he's acting this way."
This made the class look at Korosensei as Yada asked "What do you mean by that sir?"
Yada looked back at Eric still walking as Korosensei said "The bond he has with the Ed's is one that is something special. For both him and the Eds. More so, he's valued their friendship like his life depended on it" as the class then looked at him still walking away.
"He's been through a lot in his life. He's been ridiculed and made an outcast because of his eye and teeth. During that time before the Eds, he had forgotten what it meant to have real friends, what it meant to feel love. So when he finally met the Eds, he felt that feeling of happiness come back that he once felt before. For once in 8 years, he was happy that they didn't judge based on his looks. He had gotten back what he lost those 8 years ago, so you would understand why he's acting like this. He's scared to lose those closest to him. But that's not the only thing that says about Eric's mood right now" said Korosensei in his sincere way.
"What do you mean by that, sir?" asked Nagisa.
"The boy is truly one of kind. Kind and caring, yet fierce and full of grit. That's what he's truly made of. Think about it, we're going into a place that's full of bad guys, after a guy that knows about me so they probably know a lot about us, and yet he's still willing to go through the building even rushing it to get his friends the antidote. Thats the kind of person he is. So don't go thinking that just because he keeps saying to stop wasting time and get to moving doesn't mean he's not thinking about the situation we're in, inside this building" said Korosensei.
Yada was amazed at what Korosensei kept saying and then looked at Eric.
"It was amazing to see how Korosensei described Eric. It was pretty much him down to a T. I know that he's smart but it still worries me to see him like this. I guess their bond was more deep than I thought. Guess all I could do is be there for him."
Yada then began to walk faster and then caught up with Eric.
"Eric" she asked, trying to make him stop.
"What is it?" replied Eric without looking at her.
She then placed her hand on her shoulder and made him slow down.
She smiled at him and said "We will get the antidote. We're assassins after all. What kind of assassins would we be if we couldn't handle things like this. So don't be so hasty like this. I want to save our friends as much as you but we need to be cautious" trying to calm Eric down.
Eric could tell what she was doing and just faced forward and said "Its just....If what the man on the phone said was true, then the more we keep doing things like praising our teachers and stuff, my friends insides are being destroyed and it hurts me that thats going on while we're wasting time doing this stuff like that" said Eric in a sad tone.
As he kept walking, Yada walked in front of him, stopping him, and then wrapped her arms around him. This took both Eric and the class by surprise.
"We are going to save your friends and our classmates but you need to calm down. We need to keep level heads through this whole thing and rushing ahead on your own won't solve things. So please Eric. Slow down" said Yada in her sincerest voice.
Eric was surprised by her words but just accepted the hug and wrapped his arms around her.
'She was right. I was acting too quick but I was just scared to lose my friends. But now was not the time to act quick. I needed to take this slow and work our way through the building together.'
The two separated as Eric said "Thank you Yada. I needed that."
Yada smiled as she said "Of course, Eric. I'll alway be here for you. Now shall we get going?"
Eric nodded as she and him took off with the rest of class still shocked at Yada's actions.
Korosensei smiled as he said "Nuruhuhuhuhuhu. And you were worried about him being too quick" as the class continued their way to the next floor.
0000000000000000000000
Karasuma looked at his phone as Ritsu showed where they were.
"Ok, we've cleared the lobby area so we should be in good shape. If we're stopped, we'll say were staying here" said Karasuma to the class.
"But sir, we're a bunch junior high kids. I mean look at us, we shouldn't be here" said Sugaya.
Karasuma faced the class and said "Why not? There are lots of kids here. Where do you think the offspring of the ultra rich stay for when they travel? Thats right. Only the best for daddy's little prince or princess. You should see some of the antics those trust fun brats get up to" informed Karasuma as they kept walking.
"Excellent, so walk around like you own the place. Turn those noses up and no one will be the wiser" said Korosensei as he then said "Lets practice. Show me Entitled."
And after that, the kids began doing a bunch of silly faces or expressions, trying to act all entitled. Needless to say, they made the kids stand out more, in a bad way.
But Korosensei seemed to like it as he said "There it is."
Karasuma seemed to think it was too much as he said "Little too much there, gang. Reel it in a bit" as he then looked and saw Korosensei had his green strips on as he then said "Don't encourage them."
Korosensei then changed back to his normal face as he said "Its occurs to me that we have no idea what our enemy looks like. Even posing as typical guests, we're vulnerable to attack. Best martial our efforts to staying vigilant" informed Korosensei.
"Whatever" said the girls in a sassy way.
Eric then realized that if they were going to run into other people then they would see his eye and teeth and he would stick out like a sore thumb. He couldn't have that happening. So he decided to just keep his right eye closed as well as his mouth. So no one could see his features.
0000000000000000000000
Back at the hotel, the two non-sick kids were still working hard to keep the kids temperatures down.
"Thank you. I mean it you guys rock" said Sugino.
"Oh, its nothing" said Okuda.
"They're temperature is still rising. If we don't get the fever to break, there's the possibility of permeant brain damage" said Takebayashia as he filled more bags of ice.
"I'm on it" said Okuda but then she turned back to him saying "Do you think this virus could spread to everyone on the whole island" in a worried tone.
"I don't think it works like that. We haven't come down with symptoms" said Takebayshi as he pushed his glasses up and said "I believe what we're dealing with is spread orally. You would have to eat or drink after someone already infected so the threat to random bystanders is very low. Which means the other team shouldn't spread it to anyone" informed Takebayashi.
Hearing what he said, Okuda began to think more on their situation.
"How would some one specifically target us for infection? When? Where?"
Suddenly she heard a big "AACHHOOOO" and a goopy splotching sound came after, as she turned as saw that Ed had sat up while he sneezed a big sneeze, but instead of snot, blood ended up coming out of his nose and got sprayed onto the awning above them.
"ED"!!!! yelled Okuda as she ran over to the him as she grabbed some papers towels.
Ed then laid back down as he said "I sneezed"
Eddy and Double D groaned as they both said "Thanks a lot, Ed" but soon coughed as it hurt their throats.
Okuda then began cleaning up his face as she then stuff a bit of paper towel into his nose, to stop the bleeding.
She then turned to look at the hotel as she said "Hurry up, Eric. We're in trouble down here."
0000000000000000000000
The group had managed to keep walking through the place without being stopped. Even Eric wasn't attracting attention. Guess his plan did seem to work.
Yada saw what he was doing as she asked "Eric, you've been quite since we made it to the first floor. And why are you keeping your right...." but she then stopped as she now realized what she was saying.
Eric looked at her and said "If I open my mouth or my eye, then people will see them and that'll attract attention and we don't need that right now" as he kept walking on.
Yada knew that he was right but couldn't shake this feeling that doing so made Eric feel more down.
The group kept walking past people without bringing attention to themselves.
"People really think we belong here. They aren't even making eye contact" said Kimura.
"It makes sense if you think about where we are. This place has a reputation. People tend to come here to keep a low profile" said Chiba.
"At first, I was sure every one here would be a problem but getting to the top floor turning to be a lot easier than we thought" said Kayano.
"Good thing Mr. K's with us though. Feels a lot safer with us leading the charge" said Okano.
"Don't go jinxing us. We'll still on the third level and not at the top and we don't need any bad luck getting in our way" said Eric.
"Sorry" said Kayano and Okano.
Terasaka just laughed as he said "Who said this was going to be hard."
"Hey, we aren't there yet" said Karasuma, informing Terasaka of where they were.
"But like Eric said, the clocks ticking. I say we turn off stealth mode and storm the joint" said Terasaka as he and Yoshida then began running ahead of the group.
"Hey wait!" yelled Eric.
But as the two ran ahead, Fuwa looked ahead of them and saw a man walking towards them. She took a closer look and realized that she had seen the man before.
"Terasaka watch out" she yelled which made the two boys look back but then Karasuma saw the man ahead of them pull something out of his pocket. Karasuma ran forward and grabbed the boys shoulders and threw them to the side out of the way while the man soon released a gas bomb at Karasuma.
Karasuma reacted quick and covered his mouth as he yelled "GAS" and kicked the gas can out of the man's hand.
The class gasped at the sudden attack that Mr. Karasuma found himself in.
"Oh no, Mr Karasuma" exclaimed Kayano.
Karasuma then leaped out the gas and away from it, keeping his distance while keeping his guard up.
The man then took off the mask he was wearing as he said "What gave me away. I pride myself at being as non discreet as possible. Happens to be my strongest selling points, miss helmet head" to Fuwa in a mocking manner.
Fuwa stepped up and said "I've seen you before. You gave us those complimentary drinks back at the hotel."
The class heard what she said and then looked closer at the man.
It was him.
"Woah she's right" said Nagisa.
"Why would you be here if you worked for the other place? It doesn't add up" said Fuwa in question at the man.
"Yea, she's right" said Isogai as he became suspicious too.
"Ha, you've got a good eye for faces" mocked the man again.
Eric then gritted his teeth and then glared at the man in his scariest face as he said "So.... it was you that got everyone sick. You're the one that did this" as he clenched his fist.
The man laughed as he said "Is that right? I would like to see your proof, Sherlock. Tropical islands are a hot bed for all sorts of viruses" in an informative way but also a carefree way."
Eric gritted his teeth in anger but while he did that, Fuwa stepped up.
"He He He. And yet we were split up in on different parts of the island all day. The only time we were together was for dinner in the ship board restaurant. But Mimura and Okajima bowed out to go work on the video and they are both under the weather. Which makes your free drinks the only valuable suspect. And since your were the server of the drinks, you, sir, are the poisoner. Elementary" said Fuwa as she pointed at the man while winking.
The man's face then changed to a glaring one as he stepped back a bit.
The class was amazed at how she was able to deduce that he was the poisoner.
"That was amazing" said Nagisa.
"It was like we were on television" exclaimed Kayano.
"I credit my taste in detective manga. Eliminate the impossible and whatever remains must be the truth" said Fuwa seeming to know her stuff.
Then she looked up at the sky with a pink aura around her as she said "Ah yes. Shounen jump is every sleuths best friend. The writers go all out."
But hearing this made Eric and Nagisa sweat drop as they both said "So manga?" in awkward voices.
Fuwa heard their voices and said "Hmm? Yea why not. Best to read the classics. Locked door murder mysteries, vanished heirs, phantom black mailers, you name it" said Fuwa, obviously quoting something but no one understood what she said.
"I don't get the reference" exclaimed Kayano.
"Why is this suddenly an advertisement. Knock it off Fuwa. We're aren't running a charity" said Nagisa.
But then Fuwa felt a looming, dark presence over her, to which she turned to see Eric giving her a glaring expression as he then said "What did I just say! We're suppose to be taking this serious and you breaking the 4th wall is just being silly and not being serious" as he began chopping down on Fuwa's head constantly as he was talking.
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ok. Ok. I get it. I'll take this more seriously" complained Fuwa as she held her head in pain.
While that was happening, the man began laughing, which caught the attention of the kids, as they saw Mr. Karasuma fall on his knees as he groaned.
"Well congrats on uncovering my identity, but i'm afraid its too late" said the man in his confident tone.
"He's a poisoner children. An expert at the surreptitious application of his craft" informed Korosensei.
"Not to toot my own horn but that gas was a homemade concoction. One whiff turns enemies into statues. Fresh air disperses the runoff so there's no trace. Now then, I guess it safe to assume that you're not here to trade, so now I'll have to go tell the big man the negotiation deteriorated. Oh well, you win some, you lose some" said the man as he turned around, only to be with Chiba, Meg, Terasaka, Isogai, and Eric blocking his escape, while in defensive form.
This took him by the surprise as he thought "That was fast."
He then looked to the other exits and noticed that the other kids were blocking the other ones.
"Crap. They're blocking the exits" he thought.
"First rule when coming up against an enemy" said Isogai.
"Scout the exits, block their retreat" said Eric.
"Cut off their communications" said Terasaka.
"We've learned from the best, right Mr. K" said Isogai.
The man kept his focus on the kids as Karasuma began to stand up as he said "Sorry pal. You were a tad too quick to show us your true colors. Should've kept quiet and reported us to your boss" in a groggy voice.
The man turned around and pulled up his mask as he said "You can still speak, huh. First rule when facing multiply enemies. Cut off the head and the body dies" as Karasuma was still feeling dizzy.
"Observe" said the man as he pulled out another gas can but he met with a strong kick to the face, curiosity of a still conscious Karasuma.
In his moments of consciousness, he began to think "Such incredible strength. Such inhuman speed. No matter the poison will relieve you of command soon enough. Farewell noble adversary. Its been a pleasure" as both he and Mr Karasuma began to fall to the floor.
"Oh no."
"Mr Karasuma" yelled the whole class.
0000000000000000000000
After managing to subdue the man with some rope they found in a storage closet near by, Nagisa, Terasaka, and Yoshida dragged the man over to a bunch of tables and a sofa and hid him underneath them.
Isogai helped up Mr. Karasuma as he kept trying to walk but Isogai thought it wasn't a good idea.
"Sir, you can't keep going like this. You've got to lie down." said Isogai as he tried to lead to a chair.
"Yea, you're not looking so good. You can't push yourself like this" said Eric in a concerned way.
Karasuma couldn't see straightforward as his legs were shaking.
"Just give me half an hour, I'll be fine. Don't do anything crazy" said Karasuma as Isogai began helping him walk.
"Yea, cause we're the crazy ones. That stuff could've killed an elephant" said Sugaya as he sweat dropped at how he was still awake.
"No kidding. Mr. K must be some kind of monster" said Okano in amazement but also nervousness as his sort of stamina.
The class soon joined them as the kept walking as Eric was now carrying Korosensei. He looked at Mr. Karasuma in amazement.
'Can't believe he walked away from that. Talk about pro. Anyways that was one bad guy down, I kept wondering what the next one will be like. Wonder if we'll be able to handle them on our own with Mr. K. still down. But not only that, that could've been me if Yada hadn't tried to stop me. Guess I owe her for that.'
Eric was then brought out of his thoughts by Korosensei shouting "Woo hoo. Summer vacation is finally in full swing" as he know had a sun design on his face now.
Hearing this, the class turned to him with scowls on their faces at what he just said.
They then pointed at him in anger as they began yelling at him with angry remarks.
"Nice that you can stay positive" yelled Meg.
"I'd be too if I had a protective shell" yelled Kimura.
"Show him what full swing really means" yelled Sugaya, to which Eric replied by swinging Korosensei around as fast he could as Korosensei exclaimed at how fast Eric was swinging him.
Karma then stopped Eric by grabbing his arm then pointed at Terasaka and said "Take your belt off for a bit. I'm going to cram Mr. "Have a nice day" down your pants so he'll shut up"
Terasaka just yelled saying "The hell you will!!"
Eric was getting tired of this already and said "Ok I'll bite. Why does it feel like summer vacation all of a sudden?"
Korosensei's head was now deflated at how sick he felt but he reverted back to his round head as he said "Because my students are acting independently of me" as the class was now listening as they were curious as to what he meant.
"That's what summers about really. Extended breaks from the routine of school foster autonomy. You learn to think and act on your own. The prognosis for anyone else in this situation would be grim but you have the tools to meet your foes head on. This is an assassination vacation. Its up to you to make the most of it" said Korosensei, making the others understand why he said what he said.

Meanwhile
In a room, a bowl of ramen was siting nicely on a table, still steaming with flavor.
"Start with primo sea food stalk, don't skip out on the green onions or the minced garlic" said a man, wearing a red shirt with a black jacket with leopard skin inside the jacket and grey pants and black shoes, and also had eyes as weird as Ed's, as he added some ingredients to the ramen bowl.
"Then just a dash........
........of steel" yelled the man as he jammed a hand gun into the ramen bowl.
He began stirring around the food then pulled out the gun and began eating and licking the food off of the barrel of the gun. (A/N: I'm getting weirded out just typing it all)
"Its how you soup up a gun. See when the broth seeps down the barrel, it gets cold" said the man as he began saying all of this to a man sitting in a chair in front of him. The man was hiding behind some shadows so he couldn't see his face.
The man laughed as he said in a deep voice "Well that makes my blood curdle. I assume the guns..... not on safety" which the deep voice was the same one from the phone. The man was the one running the whole operation.
The man just sighed as he said "I know what I'm doing, just relax" as he then jammed his gun back into the ramen again and continued stirring it.
"I'll still shoot when the time comes. A good firearm has got to have the personality of a gourmet meal. Just the right balance of the 4 cardinal flavors. savory, sweet, sour, and fatal" said the gun man as he ate his food from his gun again.
"You have personality. Are your friends just as odd as you are" asked the deep voiced man.
"Don't judge. When you pull off as many jobs as we have, you develop a few quirks. In this industry, its a sign of being worth your salt" said the man as he stirred his food.
"Take Smog. He's all about the signature poisons. Built a world class lab to feed his obsession. You've got to admire that level of dedication" said the gun man.
"Quite. What about your other associates. Grip was his name?" asked the deep voiced man.
"Yea. Grip. That ones a prime cut of grade a weirdo even by our standards" said the man as he continued to eat his food.
0000000000000000000000
The class had managed to make it the 5th floor of the building, where large glass panels went across the wall, showing the outside as they looked around a corner and saw a man with long blonde hair, green jacket and blue pants, just leaning against the wall.
The class didn't know what to make of the situation.
"Umm ok. Why is that dude just standing out there in the open?" asked Eric.
"Gives me the hibee jibees" said Yada, standing next to him.
"Yea I'm definitely picking up a kill or be killed vibe. Well, to be honest, mostly kill" said Yoshida as he was unnerved by him.
"A scenic walkway with an unobstructed view. So much for surprise attack or safety in numbers. Dammit. What I wouldn't give for a real gun. Who'd have known I needed to pack heat for a trip like this" thought Karasuma.
But then the glass behind the man shattered from the man grabbing it, which made the whole class yelp in shock.
The man stood up as he said "Boring. I can hear your footsteps, people. I wanted to kill someone interesting, not a bunch of amateurs. And your squadron leader is suppose to be some kind of special forces decker to get bagged, hun" said the man, not even looking at the class.
"Huh, tough break. Guess the gas got to him before he had a chance, hun. Smog live? Or did they kill each other at the same time like men, hun. Let me see you" said the man as he pointed at the group with his fingers like a gun.
"He cracked the freaking window with his hand" said Terasaka in amazement.
"Yea and that's not all" said Kimura as the class began to show themselves to the man.
The whole class was just now sweat dropping in awkwardness.
"Nobodys got the nerve to say it but the way he talks" thought Fuwa.
"Dude, what's with the stupid huns?" said Karma in a non-care way.
"Why does he always say what we're thinking" thought everyone else in shock at him bluntly saying it.
The blond man then smirked as he said "Hun. Its how samurai's talk. Read some place they used to do it all the time to sound intimidating. I like the way it plays makes me feel bad ass" as he stood up off the glass he was leaning on and faced the class.
"Ok, this guy is coco in the coconuts" thought Eric in awkwardness for his reason for saying "Hun."
The man then began moving his fingers around as he said "Its actually the first time I've tried it out, so no big, hun. I might decide to drop it once I've killed you. No one else has heard me talk like this so it'd be a clean slate."
Korosensei then asked "Your hands sir. Are those the only tools of the trade at your disposal?"
"Makes staying incognito easy as pie. People can still pat me down I got nothing but I can still snap their neck. These babies know whats up. Hun, they do. Sometimes when the mood strikes me I can crush a skull" said the man, which made Okano hold her head in fear.
"Funny thing about being this good, the better you get at sending people to the sweet here after, the more you crave using your gift for something beyond just plain killing. I mean, you still want to kill, hun. You just wish someone would give you a real challenge. That's what blows about this" said the man as he pointed at the group.
"I was hoping for a worthy adversary but all I got was you. You don't know what a pain it is to kill a group, hun" said the man as he pulled out a walkie talkie and said "I'm calling the boss to come clean this whole mess up" which made everyone worry that things were going to get worse for them. He was going to call the boss and the antidote was going to be gone.
BAM
Before the man could even use it, it was smashed aside by a small palm tree in a pot, courtesy of Karma, smashing it against the glass, breaking it.
"Speaking of let downs, you seem fairly average for a pro if you ask me. And is breaking glass suppose to be intimidating cause I can do that" said Karma as he lowered the tree.
"What I wouldn't do is call in reinforcements as an opening move. But then again, I'm not intimidated by a bunch of amateurs" said Karma making the class gasp in shock at his bold statement.
Karasuma tried to stand as he said "Karma wait?"
But he was stopped by Korosensei saying "Not so fast Mr. Karasuma" to which he and some of the classmates looked at him as to why he told him to stand down.
"The boys chin is down" said Korosensei, making the others go "huh?"
"Karma typically enters a fight with his chin pointing upward, it shows distain. He is literally looking down his nose at his opponents. This is different" said Korosensei as Karma stared him.
"True his words may be dripping with arrogance but his eyes are staring daggers. He's alert. Locking his opponents gaze. Finals were quite a blow to his precious ego but I suspect he's taken the lessons of that failure to heart" said Korosensei in excitement and pride.
This made the class look at him in amazement.
The man just scoffed as he said "Ok, hun. Put your money where your mouth is" as he took off his jacket and began working his fingers to get ready to fight.
"Go at him with everything you've got, Karma. You're going head to head with an adult" said Korosensei as Karma just stared at him, without a care in the world.
'We were still on a time crunch but there was no way around this man. I just hope Karma can stop him without dying. Good luck man.'

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}
[Instrumentals] The opening fades into a scenery of Tokyo, Japan.
[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to the Eds and Eric walking on a sidewalk. Eddy in front of Ed, who was in front of Double D, with Eric behind him. They didn't seek to each, as they went to school.
[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The next scene cuts to them in class with the other students as Korosensei teaches the class. The camera was positioned in the back of the room, so all you saw was their back and Korosensei teaching them.
[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] Korosensei's attention was caught by the bell and his speed out and back in with an arm full of sweets and candies, making the students sweat-drop anime style at him.
[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The next scene shows the Eds and Eric gathered around Double D's decks, with the smart Ed boy discussing a new plan from assassination, pointing to a piece of paper in his hand as he talked.
[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] Eddy points to paper and asks a question. Double D answers him with a smile.
[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] With Korosensei out of the room, Double D was at the front of the class, stating the next plan for another assassination, as the class watched and listen.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The scene then cuts to Ed, Eric, Isogai, Kimura, Maehara, and Chiba outside in front of the open window of the classroom that Korosensei used to exit when he wants to go to a far off place, putting up a large sheet of plastic to cover the open window frame.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Double D, who was in the class as they worked, shows a description of the plan on the blackboard. Showing that when Korosensei came back, the sheet of paper would act as a trap to tangle him up, so they could jump him and kill him.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The boys that were working outside came in through the classroom door, with Eric said they were done with a thumbs up. Everyone quickly sat down in their seats.
[Yeah we tease him a lot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei ripped through the sheet of plastic with his Mach 20 speed, and stood at the front of the class, shocking the students.
[Cause we got him on the spot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei then lectures them about their failed assassination attempt, as they all look down.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The camera cuts to a hand holding a small yellow notebook with the description of the assassination, and a number to indicate what attempt it was. It was crossed out by a red marker.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] It is shown to be Eric who was holding the notebook, with the Eds around him. They signed in disappointment, as the sunsets.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] They look at each other and shrugged with a small in an 'Oh well' manner. Eric then flipped over to the next page and put down the next number for the next assassination plan.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The Eds and Eric are then seen walking back home before everything fades to black.
