Part 56

"So how are they doing," Nagisa asked her.

"Do you want the good news or bad news." She replied.

"...bad news" Nagisa answered after hesitating a bit.

"The bad news is that there is no good news."

Rio turns her attention back to the dirt track. "See for yourself."

He sweat-dropped as he witnessed Hazama giving the demon glare towards (f/n) and Terasaka, while Yoshida and Muramatsu dragged poor Itona out of the bushes.

"What did you expect they're idiots." Karma shrugged while laughing, clearly amused.

"According to past achievements, (f/n) is much smarter than you," Ritsu commented earning quiet snickers from his classmates.

"I said, idiot, not retarded." He mutters back.

"Well Hazama got a brain in her head," Okuda said hopefully, unfortunately, what happens next proved her wrong.

Hazama takes out a book and showed it to Itona.

"You want revenge against Shiro, don't you? This novel should inspire you. All seven volumes, of delicious revenge. Read this and nourish the darkness within." She whispers darkly. "however towards the end he learns to forgive, so you don't have to bother reading that far."

"tsk, pathetic." (f/n) took a glance at the book. "the main character's will is weak that's why he isn't able to fulfill his ambition."

"Boring~" she sang skimming through the pages.

"we're supposed to be cheering him up. This guy probably ain't the sharpest tool-" He immediately stops when he sensed bloodlust pouring out of Itona.

"Uh-oh. He's getting all twitchy."

"Well, I would too, if Terasaka called me stupid."

"Oh, no...it's the tentacles. he's about to snap!" Hazama yelled as (f/n) clutched her weapon ready to strike.

"I knew it" (f/n) unsheathed her sword, sighs, then slowly approach him. "the darkness won't just disappear."

"what are you doing," Terasaka asked.

"I'm preparing to counter," she replied.

***********

(F/n) and Itona engaged in a tough battle, Tentacle vs blades. sparks flew with every slice. Their battle is fast but the eyes of the trained assassins of E-class are able to keep up.

"why isn't her attacks doing anything," Kayano asked.

"it's because (f/n) refuses to put anti-sensei powder on her weapon." Karma shrugged. "she probably just forgot."

[f/n): don't I have "perfect memory" so how can I forget something this crucial?

(a/n): plot convenience? plus it's time for someone else to shine.]

"I'm not one of you losers." Itona chants. " I'm strong... I'm strong and I win."

Terasaka stops in his tracks and slowly began, walking towards him with a determined look. "We all want to kill the octopus, in fact, that's been on mind since morning. But it's not gonna happen just like that we need to bribe our time. it's too bad really so chill out a little."

"what are you doing, we are in the middle of a fight." (f/n) roared.

"Shut up!" He yells and attacks Terasaka however this time he was ready for it.

"That's the second time...but you're much weaker now. Don't get me wrong it still hurts like hell, makes me want to puke. Speaking of puke this reminds me of more of Muramatsu's ramen."

"Hey!!!" Muramatsu shouts offended.

"you see that octopus told him it would be a good idea to study business. Sure his dad's ramen may be crap but one of these days he'll take over, with his knowledge he can bring new flavors to life and business will be booming, he told Yoshida the same thing. it's about being patient, the time will come when we can shine." He then proceeds to hit him."So snap out of it, you can't have a couple of loses blow you off course. you don't always have to win, just someday, there's a saying slow and steady wins the race. We just need to kill the octopus once, before March. And with all that cash your father's company can be revived again. isn't that something to long forward to."

(editor): Terasaka gave Itona one of Naruto's many powerful 'Talk No Jutsus'.

"then what am I suppose to do-" Itona started but was quickly interrupted by (f/n).

"just do whatever you want, we still got time... until Korosensei destroys the planet of course." (f/n) shrugged. "by the way, that speech of yours is really sappy, blegh"

"I said it how I see it." he shrugged not even trying to deny it.

"And who would've thought he is able to say it with a straight face." Karma smiles. "Sometimes the words from an idiot is all you need."

Itona's bloodlust vanishes from his eyes. "So I was being...impatient?"

"In a sense." (F/n) said cleaning her weapon.

"In any case, now that your bloodlust is gone, we can now deal with those painful tentacle cells." Koro-sensei holds up a few clippers. "In losing ones great power, you'll more than make up for in friends. You'll come and kill me, won't you? Starting tomorrow?"

Itona smiles. "Suit yourself. I'm sick of this power anyway—and this whole 'brothers' thing."

************

Bonus:

"Ugh, I sick of this all this sappiness I'm out. Time for some gore and edgy stuff." She walked off.

"Way to ruin the moment." Terasaka snorted.

"Fufufu." Korosensei laughed. "You might want to check your pockets."

"She paid for my ramen."

"Coupons for the maid cafe... HEY!!! what is this suppose to mean?" but she is long gone.

(A/n): Lol poor Terasaka.

*************

Next day.

"'Morning! That bandana's a good look on you!"

"Hey, you made it! But no more bursting through the wall, okay?"

"Yeah, but don't you dare steal my schtick." (F/n) said kicking down the door as she enters.

"You are fixing that right."

"Nah" she waved off.

"And how are you feeling?" someone asked.

"Awful, now that I've lost my power. However, I don't feel weak at all. But make no mistake, I will be the one to kill you, Koro-sensei."

And so the problem child, Itona Horibe finally joins E-class.  And he's in Terasaka's group.

"Hey, Muramatsu, I'm broke. Let me have more of that disgusting ramen and I'll try not to puke."

**************

"You know to call you by your first name is weird." (F/n) clapped her hands. "I know, I'll call you Lab Rat."

"Objection!!"
