14 A blast from the Ed
It was a sunny and bright morning out at Kunugigaoka Junior High school and out in the mountains, It was PE class and the students in E-class were currently practicing their knife holding skills out on the new track court that Korosensei had just made not too long ago. After seeing Itona mop the floor with Korosensei, they realized that they need to improve their skills and become better fighters. After all, the only people that should be allowed to kill him is them.
Eric and Eddy were fighting against each other with their Anti-Sensei knives as everyone was spilt into 2 people per team. Karasuma was standing near the stairs on the hill of the school and he was watching each team practicing their knife skills.
"That's right keep you eyes on the target" shouted Karasuma to the students.
He noticed that Ed and Double D were in stand still and when Ed tried to lean forward to stab Double D, Double D moved to the side and threw a picture of a chicken at Ed, which distracted Ed and made him shout "Ch-ch-chicken" which gave Double D the chance to swing his knife forward and stab Ed in the side, to which Ed just giggled at cause he thought it tickled.
This made Karasuma groan as he then said, "Don't let yourself be distracted. If you can't predict his moves then you can't fully counter his invasive maneuvers" as meant for Ed but he figured he would just go ahead and tell everyone so they won't be as distracted as Ed was.
But as he finished his shout, he began to think back on the training the kids had done for the past 4 months.
He internally smiled as he thought 'Not too shabby for 4 months of training.' He then smirked as then continued saying 'Everyday these kids show promise' as he looked over and saw Maehara and Isogai fighting each other.
He then thought back to when the groups had sparred against his in the past and began thinking about the kids that stood out of the would-be assassins.
'Take Isogai, Maehara. They seem to work good together as a tag team, using each other movements at different times to catch their enemies off guard' he thought as he remembered the tow of them trying to stab at him and using their skills to swing their knives at his face and torso and when Karasuma dodged their attacks, they spun on their heels or switched hands when hiding the knives to try and land an attack or stab.
Then turned his attention to Karma and Kimura fighting each other. 'Then there's karma. At first glance, all sarcasm and laziness but behind that facade marks the instinct of a killer' as he remembered Karma always seeming to have a trick up his sleeve.
He remembered how whenever he fought with Karasuma, Karma would always have a second blade with him. It made things more interesting. Karasuma always seemed to enjoy his spars with Karma since seeing him the first time he came there, he knew how knives and weapons were his passion, and he could see that he had to eyes of a killer.
He then began to think about the girls in the class. He looked to see Okano fighting Rinka, with Meg and Rio fighting next to them. He began to think on the specific girls in the class and their special abilities. 'Then theres the girls.'
He thought back to when Okano and Meg began to fight against Karasuma. "Okano's gymnastics background makes her moves very hard to predict" as he remembered how Okano likes to use her gymnastics movements to try and throw him off guard while Meg would sneak out from Okano movements and try and land a blow on him as he continued saying 'Meg easily has the reach and momentum of her male counterparts' as he remembered how quick she can be with her swipes and hand movements.
But then he turned to easily the most interesting people in the group, the Eds and Eric. He knew that they were the oddest bunch in the group and they seemed to have their own uniques ways of using knife skills and other things with their training.
'The Eds and Eric are the strangest of the bunch but they are also the ones that show some promise, possibly' he thought.
He turned to Eric and Eddy fighting, with Ed and Double next to them. He recalled that when Ed and Eric were fighting each other, Ed had lost his knife from Eric knocking out of his hand and when Eric tried to land a blow, Ed just pulled a bunch of, weirdly and disgustingly, gravy ladles and boats out of his clothes and shoes and flung them at him in 'fear of getting shish kabobed' in Ed's words. And Eric came out with bruises and blisters from the hot gravy. He just chuckled at how the group were with each other. He then began to think on their individual skills.
'Ed's the strongest out of the 4. But he sadly doesn't make up for much with intelligence but he seems to be improving. But only a little. Guess the octopus is working his hardest to help the poor guy.' He then turned towards Double.
'Double D is sadly the weakest of the 4 but he does have intelligence on his side. Truth be told, if he was given an actual assassination attempt, he either couldn't do it or might screw it up. But he does have the smarts to a good tactician or strategist in coming up with plans. After all, from what I've read on their files, he was the one that created the very bizarre things those four made together back in America, so he could be great at making plans or things similar.' While he finished thinking about Double D, he turned his attention to Eddy.
'Eddy's the leader of their little group. He's very enthusiastic when it comes to scams and I guess in this case, assassination. He always tries to move quick and fast, trying to mess with a person senses and catch them off guard. It can be random and odd but it can be effective at times. His enthusiasm, not to mention how he tends to insult someone to catch them of guard, makes him a strange leader. Not to mention he tends to think of ideas of how to kill the Octopus so he, along with Double D, are the bests one for coming up with ideas for assassinations.' He then turned his attention to Eric. Now Eric was the one he seemed to have his eye one the most.
'Eric is the one that I'm the most curious about. His features may give off a scary demeanor but he seems to be like the big brother of the group. Throughout the time I've been here with them, he's always looking out for his friends and classmates these past few months. Truth be told, he doesn't seem like the assassin type but he does seem to have great speed and precision. His moves are quick, he says that when his target attacks him, they seem to happen in slow motion, like time is standing still for him. When we spar, he seems quick and eager to get the first blow and he has proven to a challenge for me when dodging attacks. He's a strange one but then again, that's their group in a nutshell' as he finished thinking about the 4 odd balls and then gazed out towards the group and smiled.
'These are the standout would-be assassins of the group' he thought but then he was interrupted by Korosensei saying,
"Don't forget Korosensei the ideal teacher a man of grit and character whom none have the heart to kill" while holding up a crayon sketch of himself, holding a book, with a pink background being scribbled in, next to Karasuma's face.
This made Karasuma grow a vein in his forehead in anger as he said,
"This is my interior monologuing dammit. No one wants your two cents" while Korosensei just moved the image away from him and just giggled at Karasuma's annoyance. He then stood up and began walking towards the group and began sparing with a select few.
'Truth be told, the other students may have a long way to go but they have come a lot further than I had further hoped. Not bad for 4 months of training' he thought.
But as he continued to spar with them, he felt two dangerous presences on both sides of him from behind. One his right, he felt like something was about to strike at him at a fast speed while the presence on his left made him feel like he was trapped in the deep blue sea and something was heading towards and he couldn't escape it.
Reacting on instinct, he elbowed his right arm back and came in contact with someone and then he quickly elbowed his left arm but when it came to his back, the target had ducked quickly before he could land a blow but then they fell down.
"Ouch" said the two victims. Karasuma looked back in defense and saw that it was Nagisa that he had hit and then he looked down again to see it was Eric that had dodged his attack but seemed to be grunting in pain.
Realizing his error, he went over to Nagisa and said "Sorry that block was a little over the top" as he held out his hand to which Nagisa excepted.
"Its cool. I'm fine, no worries" said Nagisa. Karasuma turned back to Eric to help him up but then he saw Yada was already doing that.
"Are you ok, Eric" said Yada, worried.
"Yea, I'm fine" he said.
"Eyes on the target. You've got to see that stuff coming" said Sugino.
Nagisa just grew a an awkward expression expression at the situation while Eric said "Hey, I dodged the attack, but I reacted too quickly and had momentary whiplash. Now my back and neck hurt" said Eric as he rubbed his neck.
Karasuma stared at the two as he began to wonder 'Nagisa and Eric. What the...? Did I have a momentary lapse of sanity. I thought there was a snake coming from the right and a shark on my left' he thought while Korosensei just sat on the hill, reading a book, and gazed in wonder and slight annoyance at what had happened.
Then the bell had rung, indicating that class was over and it was time to get to back to the classroom. Karasuma gathered his thoughts at the sound of the bell and began walking away from the students. Meanwhile, all of them stood near each other as they looked at Karasuma walking away.
"Man I am having no luck hitting that guy" said Kimura, with his hands on his head.
"Theres like no chinks in Mr. Karasuma's armor" said Okajima as he held his chin in his pointer finger and thumb.
"Yea, dudes like a fortress. There's just no way around him" said Eddy as he grunted in annoyance. The group then saw Hinano running up to Karasuma as she began to say,
"Excuse me, sir. We were wondering if you would like to grab a bit to eat with us" she said cheerfully with her hands behind her back, hoping he would accept.
Mr. Karasuma looked at Hinano at her request but then looked back ahead of him as he said "Sorry no. I'd love to but there's still a lot of work that needs to be done" as he waved his hand back in forth, further implementing him saying no. This seemed to make Hinano sad as she said "oh" as he was walking away.
'Poor guy. I don't think he's had a day off since he got here. Must be rough being part of the special forces.......... Special Forces....... right.'
"Zero chinks in his personal life too" said Mimura.
"*sigh* He's definitely a man that likes to keep his distance" sighed Okano. "Its like theres a wall of ice between him and us."
"Yea don't me wrong he's super cool and everything I mean I just.. I don't know... you think its only because he has to be" said Hinano feeling bummed out as Karasuma continued to walk up the stairs. His stare seemed to be aimed downward as he felt bad he turned the kids offer down. He enjoyed their company and thought they were nice kids but he had work to do. Paperwork wasn't going to do itself, you know. But still, he wished there was a way to....
"Hey hey. Karasuma" said a cheery voice. Karasuma brought his gaze up to see a man, carrying a bunch of bags. He was a man he hadn't seen for a while.
"Takaoka?" he said with surprise.
The students saw the man and were surprised as Hinano said "huh another new teacher."
"Geez, how bad to these government officials not trust us not to bag the Octopus" groaned Eddy.
"Well, we are still students, Eddy" said Double D, "But yea, this is getting a bit old. If they keep doing this, then we're going to run out of room for classrooms." While Eddy and Double D were talking, the man that Karasuma was talking to had made his way down and the class could get a better look at him.
"Yo. My names Akira Takaoka and I'm here to here to give your gym teacher a hand. Please to meet you gang" said the man as he smiled. "So what do you say. Ready to have some fun" as he set his bags down.
'He seemed like a nice teacher. Upbeat and cool. Even seems to have bags of stuff for us. Seems like a nice edition to our class. So then why does he scare me even when he's flashing a smile.'

EDventure #14 — "A blast from the Ed"
Akira had reached his hand into the bags and had brought out many sweets. Seriously there was like all the cakes you'd find at a supermarket and they all looked good.
"Wow are those..." said Maehara.
"Its cake" exclaimed Kayano.
"Hand made eclairs" said Yada.
"Oh yum yum. Gimme gimme" said Ed as he tried to gobble all the sweets up but was being held back by Eddy and Double D.
"Cut it out Ed. They aren't all for you" said Double D as he struggled to stop Ed.
"Seriously, someone help us keep lumpy from eating them all" yelled Eddy until he just clobbered Ed on the head to make him stop.
He then reached for a slice and said "Here, cake. Cream filled" as he walked away, annoyed.
Ed grabbed the cake and said "Belly. Hungry" and just devoured the cake in one bit.
"Umm these look kind of pricey sir, are you sure" said Isogai nervously as he was unsure about eating them.
Akira just smiled and said "Yea, chow down kiddos. I didn't break the bank just for us to stare at these babies all day" as he held his stomach, emphasizing on them to eat them.
"You really know your way around brand names sweets, nice" said Yada feeling happy.
"Trust me when it comes to the good stuff, its love" said Akira as he held out his tongue when he said love, to which some found adorable. While all the students were happy and smiling at the new teacher and delectable treats in front of them, Eric just sat away from the man hugged his knees, while his thoughts clouded his mind,
'I didn't get it. Why did seeing him smile like that make my stomach churn. I don't get it. He's nice, adorable, and he's treating us to nice sweets. So why do I feel this way. Why? Why?' he thought as he was brought out by someone standing in front of him. He looked up and just felt terrified. Their new teacher was standing in front of him.
But to Eric, it was like staring at a giant from his standing point. And not because he was sitting on the ground. He felt like he was standing at normal height but the man was still giant. He felt scared at the man looking him.
The man then said "Why are you sitting here by your lonesome. Come on, enjoy these sweets. You don't get delectables like these very often" as he held out his hand to help Eric up.
But to Eric, he wasn't trying to help him up, but he thought he saw the mans hand grew in size and was almost trying to crush him in his bare hand. He dropped the hallucination when he saw the man move his hand a little, emphasizing for him to take his hand and let him help him up. Eric was reluctant but ended up taking his hand.
When he got to his feet, the man began to look at him as if he was studying him as he said "Oh dear, that looks like a bad eye. How did that happen." Eric was stumped. The way this man said it made it feel more.... terrifying to him.
Eric just looked away and said "I don't like to talk about it." This made the class look at each other in worry, no more so than the Eds. They knew Eric's eye was a touchy subject and they knew he didn't want to talk about it so they respected that and never asked about what happened with it.
The man shrugged his shoulders and said "Hey, that's fine. I was rude for talking about something so personal. I'm sorry, my boy. Here have this" as brought Eric over to his bags and pulled out a slice of red cake with white frosting and cherries on it.
"I was going to save this for later for when I got home but here. Have it for me being so rude" said Akira as he held out the cake to him.
Eric accepted it and seeing this level of kindness seemed to have won everyone over as they began talking more about him. Eric just sat down and stared at the cake while his thoughts clouded his mind once again.
"So you're going to take over PE to help Mr. Karasuma get caught up" said Nagisa as he took a piece of eclair.
"Yep. Those are my marching orders from the brass at HQ. Poor guy needs some time to himself" smiled Akira. Then they all heard the sounds of a someone shivering with delight.
They all turned to see Korosensei with his pink face, eyeing all the sweets with his mouth watering like a faucet, while Rio just sweat dropped at the awkwardness.
"Ah this guy must be Korosensei. Please, help yourself" offered Akira as Korosensei just dug into the sweets before him. He then said, "Don't want to die on an empty stomach" as he chuckled at Korosensei's reaction.
Kimura then said "You know sir. For being colleagues you and Mr Karasuma are night and day" he chuckled as Akira raised his eyebrow is question.
"He's nice to us and all but you seem like the neighborhood dad" added Hara as she smiled.
Akira just chuckled at her words as he said "Heh dad. I like the sound of that" as he wrapped his arms around Rio and Kimura as he said "Life is too short not to spend time with the people you think of as family right gang" as he just chuckled while Korosensei was just devouring the sweets behind him.
'Everyone seemed to like the new teacher. He was nice, sweet, gave us awesome desserts and candies, even Korosensei seemed to like him. So why was I scared of him. I hadn't met the man before and yet it felt like I had. But luckily I wasn't only one. Even Mr Karasuma had his doubts.'
0000000000000000000000
The next day
It was PE time again the next day, the clouds seemed to be forming over them, and everyone was lined up together and were waiting to see what Akira had in store for them.
"All right. Everybody here. Now things are going to be a little bit tougher than usual but stick it out like the champs I know you are and we're talking more sweets" he said, trying to act and cheery and happy for them.
"For us? Or are you really just saving them for yourself" joked Rio while Eddy laughed at her joke.
Akira just smiled and said "Nope. Don't want to ruin this girlish figure" as he patted his stomach, trying to act all cheeky. This made everyone laugh at the jab expect Eric. He was still questioning why he didn't feel right about the man.
"I don't get it. He's been nice and acting like a dad and everyone seems to like him. So why does he freak me out. Maybe its just from a movie I saw. I don't know" he thought.
0000000000000000000000
While the kids were outside having fun, Karasuma and Irina were in the faculty lounge, while karasuma was looking over the info about Akira coming here. Irina just looked out of the door and just pondered at,
"How are you kosher with this idiot. If he was a toupee, a chin strap couldn't make him look phonier. Even Karma can tell and he's not even here today" as Karma could see something in him and just didn't want to be at school as he was just walking through the forest.
Karasuma didn't pay him much mind as he told Irina "Look, he and I go back to the airborne brigade were not friends or anything but based on the information I received he's a great teacher" as he continued to stare at his computer screen.
"Hmm?" hummed Irina in question and in thought.
On Karasuma's screen was a photo of Akira wearing a uniform and had his personal info on the screen. "Young people responded to him, he speaks their language, that's what you want in an educator. I think maybe I've been going about this the wrong way. My approach was to draw a line, stay professional. But taking on the role of father figure might be more affective than what I'm doing" said Karasuma as he continued to look at the info that was sent to him from his bosses at HQ as well as seeing a picture of Akira with 4 soldiers, seeming like them having the fun of their life. But then he noticed that there was a file on his computer that he didn't notice before. He opened them up and gasped.
There was a picture of the boys before but know, he could see their backs and they had cuts a bruises on their backs and arms.
And their arms were tied up with rope.
This made Karasuma gasp in shock as his eyes widened too. Irina was worried about his expression and walked over to him as she said "what's wrong."
When she got to his screen, she knew what was wrong. She stepped back with her hands over her mouth as she said "Oh my god." But while she was doing that, Karasuma kept looking at the photos and then he stopped on one photo that seemed more scary than the others.
One photo was of a young kid in a hospital bed, with what seemed to be an old man holding the kids hand. He scrolled to the next photo and was able to see what the old man looked like now. He recognized him as his old special forces commander and the man seemed to be closer to the boy and he seemed to be crying. Karasuma then saw that the kid was bleeding from behind a patch covering the eye, and the blood was staining the pillow and blankets. He looked closer at the kid and then realized something.
"Wait!! Is that..."
0000000000000000000000
Outside
"Ok then. Along with your new training regimen comes a new schedule" said Akira as he held out a piece of paper, showing them their new schedule as he began passing them out. The class began looking at them as they groaned and complained at the new schedule.
"What no way" complained Maehara
"We have ten periods now" said Fuwa.
"We train until 9 pm" said Nagisa.
"Where's the bathroom schedule" said Ed in his stupid way.
"Shut up, monobrow" yelled Eddy as he too didn't like the schedule.
Akira pointed his finger up as he said "That's the idea little grasshopper. Don't be glum think of the pay off. This new fighting curriculum will turn you all into lean mean killing machines. You're going to love it" he said as he clapped his hands together in a cheerful way. He was then interrupted by Double D walking up to him saying
"Umm pardon me sir." Akira turned to him in question as Double D continued saying "I am sorry to say sir but this schedule is just is ridiculous and out of the question. First off this is school we have to think about grades and out education too. Our curriculum perfectly balances our class time and our training time but this is practically throwing our school time out the window" as Akira just held the back of his head in bashfulness while Double D continued saying "I mean with all due respect sir, we can't go by this when are we suppose to study..." said Double D until he felt Akira place his hand on the top of his hat/head in what seemed to be nice and soft touch .......
......Until he grabbed his hat roughly then in a quick flash brought his knee into Double D's stomach, which caused him to cough up some spit.
"Rule number one: We don't do can't" said Akira in a casual way. This took everyone by surprise and just made them gasp in horror at what had happened. Double D clenched his stomach and fell down in pain.
"DOUBLE D" yelled the Ed, Eddy, and Eric as they rushed over to their friend who needed aid.
"Rule number 2. We're a family and I'm the dad" he now said in a threatening manner. This made the class look up at him now in horror. He now had a crazed look in his eye and a shadow that covered half of his face, that made everyone shake in fear, especially Eric.
"Show me a family where a dad ain't in charge and I'll show you a family in crisis" he continued to say in his threatening voice.
"If this is too much for you, sit it out. I'll have my people back at HQ send in replacements for the whole class" he said in his casual way, trying act like nothing happened. His crazed eyes changed back to his normal brown eyes as he looked down at the class as he said "that said I'd mach rather see you guys stick it out."
He held out his hands gesturing to the whole class as he said "A father loves his children unconditionally. The thought of even losing one of them breaks his heart" and hearing that sentence made Eric begin to have flashbacks to an army tent, jeeps driving by and loud thunderclaps happening. This made Eric widen his eyes in fear as he hadn't thought about that time in years, while the others stared at the man while he began walking over to the side of the class.
"We're going to save the world and we're going to do it as a family" he said as he stopped by Mimura and Kanzaki and wrapped is arms around them. Then he began to think in his mind about his methods from the past as he smirked as he thought,
'There are two essential ingredients to win the loyalty of your students. Affection and fear.'
"Well you're going to do everything father tells you too, huh" he said as he looked over at Kanzaki. This made her sweat in fear but then she gained her composure and stood up as she said "Umm, well. To tell you the truth. I'm not much for PE. If I had to do it, I prefer mr Karasuma's class" as she smiled at him, trying to act calm and collective.
Akira just licked his lips and, in an instant, he slapped Kanzaki across the face and made her skid across the ground.
Everyone one gasped as Sugino yelled "Kanzaki" as he and Nagisa ran over to her aid.
"Looks like we're having a little communications gaff. The only answer here is yes" laughed Akira as Sugino just glared at him.
Akira then began swinging his right arm around and around as he said with his crazed eyes, "If anyone needs a case of nonverbal reinforcement, daddy dearest will be happy to oblige" as he continued to swing his arm.
Then everyone was brought out of their stupor as they heard someone yell "Stop it" as they saw Karasuma running over to Kanzaki.
He kneeled down as he said "Hey, did he twist your neck? Try moving your head side to side" he said trying to help her.
Kanzaki looked up at him and said "I'll be ok."
He then turned to Double D to see him still grunting in as he said "What about you" as he turned to see Eddy digging into Double D's pocket.
Eddy then said "Don't worry, he'll be fine. Sockhead's been in worse situations like these. Now he has to have aspirin in here somewhere" as he continued to dig through his pockets.
Akira just smiled as he held his fist up saying "See we're fine. Don't go getting your boxers in a wad. I'm not going to go full throttle on my beloved fam...." as he felt some tentacles on his shoulders and the heard,
"Correct. Expect their not your fam. They're my students" said an angry voice everyone knew all too well.
"Korosensei" the students yelled as they saw that his entire body was red like when he first met Karma. Korosensei's face veins began to grow in anger as he said,
"Whatever you've been filling their heads with while my back was turned, ends right now."
Akira just brushed his tentacles off as he said "Sorry big guy but this isn't your class you teach your subjects, I'll teach mine. In phys. ed I call the shots" as he pointed his thumb at himself.
Eric looked over at Ed cause normally when someone ever said "Phys. ED," he would always respond as if they were talking to him, but he saw Ed just shaking uncontrollably like a shivering dog in winter. This knew that things were serious if Ed was scared and didn't act his usual stupid self. But even Eric wasn't feeling good. Hearing the man speak made him have flashbacks again.
'Why was this man making me remember..... that day. Why. Why. I don't know and its scaring me to death.'
"Nothing I've done falls outside acceptable corporal punishment. I've got to train these kids to kill you" as he said nonchalantly as he pointed at Korosensei.
"That doesn't give me a whole lot of time. I don't have the luxury of going easy on them" said Takaoka still as nonchalant as possible.
He then gave Korosensei and evil glare as he said
"What are you going attack me. Over a fight about educational philosophy. Because if that's what this is, you just don't care for the way that I teach" as Korosensei just kept getting angrier at the man using his methods against him and just made more veins pop out of his head.
'This just made the whole class shake in fear. Seeing Korosensei angry and seeing the man being smug around him and using his methods against made this whole thing more terrifying. Even if the two teachers weren't psychically fighting, we all knew one thing.
We were totally screwed.'
0000000000000000000000
Later that day
After their dispute, Korosensei had no choice but allow him to teach the kids his methods, no matter how brutal they were. The kids were given the task of doing 300 squats and they were already wanting to stop but they were scared of what he might do to them if they stopped.
Korosensei and Karasuma sat on the steps as they watched the kids getting trained to their very core. "That man will crush those children body and spirit. And he's right. I don't care for it but civility dictates that I let him teach as he sees fit. That's why I'm counting on you. You're on par with this man, are you not. I need you to shut him down" said Korosensei as he tried to get Karasuma to get him to understand what he needed to do.
Karasuma just kept his head down as he had felt like there was nothing he could do."Me. That's rich" was all he thought about.
While the two were talking, Akira just grew a smirk while looking back at them as he thought
'Bet this really grinds your gears, Karasuma. Me stealing these kids out from under you. You were always top dog of our old brigade, never gave a damn about what I could. And when you got into the secret services, that just added more salt into the wound and yet here I am throwing a monkey wrench into your shot at promotion' as he thought back to their times at the brigade.
He then looked back out at the students as he said 'Let half of these snot nose punks be pulverized. If I can shape the other half into octopus killing warriors, it'll be me reaping the glory when the deed is done' as he looked back at Karasuma with his crazed eyes as he continued thinking 'You'll licking my boots till the day they put you put to pasture.'
The students continued to groan and cry at how tired they were.
"This is seriously not fun" said Sugaya.
"300 squats. We're going freakin to die" said Okajima.
The Eds and Eric weren't doing so good either. Ed and Eddy were slowing down their squat speed but Double D was barley even moving from his last squat. He kept trying so hard to try and stand up but he didn't have the power to do so.
"Oh, curse these confounded limbs. Why must they not be made to hold up my own body" he said as he then gave out and fell to the ground.
"Oh sweet relief" said Double D as he was happy he could relief himself.
But it didn't last long.
For as Double D sat on the ground in relief, a dark and looming shadow covered himself. He looked up and saw the Akira was standing in front of him with his crazed eyes glaring at him.
"Well, well, well. It seems we have slacker here. Clearly what I'm saying isn't getting through to you. Maybe a little verbal teaching will help you with remember" threatened Akira as he cracked his knuckles.
He stared intently at Double D as he then said "And don't go thinking Karasuma is going to help you. Karasuma isn't part of our family. Someone needs a lesson. Disrespecting daddy makes him very angry" he yelled and sent his fist towards Double D's face but before he could, he was suddenly stopped by Eric, who had stood in front of Double D with his arms, trying to defend him.
Akira stopped his fist as he looked at Eric and could see that he had a look of worry. Eric was panting because of how scared he was. He shook his fear off and said "Please sir. Double D can't help it. He's not one for strength and this training regimen isn't doing him any favors. Can't you just let this slide" he said nervously. He had hoped that he would buy some time for Double D to stand, to which he did, and that it would work but it didn't.
Akira dropped his fist, which made Eric think it had worked, but then Akira began to snicker lightly but then that snicker turned into a cray laughter as he kept laughing at Eric's words and then began to laugh even louder as he tilted his head back while still laughing as loud as he can.
He then quickly snapped his head back, showing his crazy eyes, and then he said, "I see. So you still think its fun to slack off on training, huh. You really haven't changed, huh Eric. Here I thought you would've matured and knew exactly what I expect from my students" said Akira as he began swinging his right arm around again like before.
This made Eric's stomach churn in fear and confusion.
'Training. What training.'
And what did he mean by 'still'. He was acting like this happened before but where. He didn't know what he meant so he decided to ask "Wh-wh-w-what do you mean sir."
"If your going to disobey my orders again and make your daddy mad, then perhaps its time I finish what I started so long ago" said Akira as he began to raise his fist up slowly as he then said,
"If you can't see that I'm trying to make you and the rest of the kids here into better soldiers, then perhaps its time I fix your other eye" as he had finally raised his fist high in the air.
And those words alone made everything clear now.
Eric heard those exact words before from a man before. It was from the man from a flashback he had of the man holding a hammer from outside a doorway. He looked at his fist and his mind made him see the faint outline of a hammer in his hand and seeing Akira raising his fist like that, made him finally made him remember what the silhouetted man's face looked like. The man with the hammer............
....................Was Akira Takaoka himself. He was the silhouetted man with the hammer. He was the one that broke his eye years ago.
Eric's face then changed to one of anger and rage as he now knew who the man was. As Akira brought his fist down, Eric reacted quickly and used his new technique and moved fast, seeing that Akira's fist was moving slowly and moved out of the way of Akira's fist and with some quick thinking, he formed a fist and swung it right at Akira's face and hitting the mark, causing Akira to stumble back. The class ahead of them moved out of the way of Akira's stumbling.
Akira then stopped his stumbling and just grinned evilly as he brought his head down to see Eric charging at him.
Everyone was shocked to see Eric charging at him, as they hadn't seen him in such a way. Just as Eric showed up right in front of Akira, he swung his fist at him but Akira managed to grab his arm and then knee'd him in the stomach, causing Eric to hunch over in pain, while coughing up spit.
Akira brought his knee back again and hit him again in the face this time and made Eric fly back towards the group.
"ERIC" cried the Eds and Yada as they ran over to him.
Yada bent down to Eric's level and lifted his head and made him look at her, as she saw him in pain.
It hurt her seeing him like this as she said "Are you ok" as she tried to make him feel better.
Eric just grunted as he said "Run. Get away from him. He'll kill you" as footsteps could be heard heading towards them as they saw Akira walking over to them.
"You're still as stubborn as ever, Eric. If you think it's ok to attack daddy dearest when he's not feeling happy, then perhaps its time I teach you a lesson" as he began to swing his fist at the kids but then he was stopped by Karasuma as he held his arm, stopping the attack from happening.
"That's enough. If you hurt him again then you'll have to answer to me" said Karasuma in a threatening voice.
Akira looked back at Karasuma as he smiled while saying "Ah there it is. I was wondering when you were going to throw your chips in ol' buddy. " he said as he thought in private 'Heh waiting to make this interesting.'
Akira just shrugged his shoulders as he said "What's the big deal. Who are you to criticize how I choose to teach" as he turned towards Karasuma and said "If this is something that you and I need to settle like men then I'm up for the challenge. Just remember that were teachers first."
Akira then thought of a way to prove his methods correct. "Here's what I propose. Cherry pick your star pupils out of the students you've trained with your methods" as he began walking over to his bag.
He continued saying "Set them on me and if their knife so much as grazes me, I'll concede that the way that you training is superior to mine. No fuss, no back pedaling. I'll pack it up and leave" as he began to dig through his bag.
The class muttered in worry about what Akira had in mind for how they were going to do this and were more worried about who Karasuma was going to pick to fight him.
Akira then pulled an anti-sensei knife from his bag as he said, "We won't be using these though. No sir, we won't" as he threw it over his shoulder.
The class hummed in question as to why they weren't using them. Then in a quick flash, Akira pulled something out of his bag, and stabbed the green knife on the ground, as everyone gasped in shock. They could all see that it was an actual knife. He had planed for them to use an actual knife and not an anti-sensei knife. Akira had his crazy eyes looking at everyone as he then said
"When the object is to kill a human being, you can't rely on toys so we'll be using the real McCoy" as he slightly chuckled.
0000000000000000000000
This did not sit well with Karasuma as he had only taught the kids how to use fake knives. They weren't ready for this level of intensity. 'He wants to use an actual knife' he thought. "This is ridiculous. These kids aren't prepared to take down a real human being and you know it" said Karasuma acting all concerned.
"Don't get all "concerned citizen" on me. They ain't got to kill nothing, just come close. And I'll do you a solid by defending myself bare handed" said Takaoka as he smiled his creepy smile.
Akira smirked as he began to recall this little action or trick he had used before. 'This little trick works beautifully in the big leagues too' as he recalled a little training mission with younger soldiers.
'Take a fresh faced recruit wielding a blade for the first time, pummel the poor man within an inch of his life unarmed and bingo instant alpha dog status' as he recalled doing the same thing to a young soldier in the past, earning his place as top dog in training.
"What are you waiting. Pick yourself a champion or save us the headache and agree to let me run this show from now on" said Akira smugly as he threw the knife towards Karasuma as it hit the ground and slid past him. Karasuma saw the knife on the ground and just gazed back at Takaoka in surprise.
He sighed as he thought 'I wish I could say I was sure about this. Are his methods really as bad as all that. Maybe his take no prisoners policy is what saving the world calls for' he thought as he turned back towards the class. He could see it on their faces.
They were scared.
They didn't want to take up the knife and Karasuma didn't blame them.
'I'm not sure of anything anymore. Still look at them' as he turned back to the students.
'How can I put one of them on the spot' he thought. He then began to think about what he was suppose to do. 'Do I even have a star pupil' as he closed his eyes in thought and memory. The class was scared. They didn't like the idea of using a actual knife to strike someone. They weren't ready to do such a task. No one stepped up the knife to do the deed. No one was even sure that.....
"I'll do it" said a voice in the crowd. Then someone had began to walk forward as they looked forward and saw that it was Eric that had spoken up. He was slightly breathing heavy, like you would see when someone is mad, and they could see veins popping out of his forehead.
The class was shocked, especially the Eds. They had never seen him like the before nor had they ever since such a look in his eyes.
The look of killer.
They could feel the anger radiating off of him as he grabbed the knife and stared intently at it then back at Akira, who seemed to be smirking at Eric.
The Ed's were brought out of their stupor as Double D then yelled "What. Eric, you can't" as he was concerned as to why he would do something like this.
Eric just replied by saying "Shut up Double D. Just sit back and watch me" as he began walking towards Akira. Karasuma wasn't sure about this and didn't like how Eric just accepted it right on the spot. He turned towards Eric and tried to stop him as he said
"Eric this is a serious situation you can't..." as he was stopped by Eric reacting quickly and pointed the knife at Karasuma's tie. He gazed at Eric and began to internally shake. There, Eric gave him a murderous look as he was glaring him with the knife aimed almost near his heart. And that fact that it was with his bad eye, made the whole thing more unsettling for Karasuma.
Eric growled as he said "Don't get in my way Karasuma. I've got a score to settle with him" threatened Eric.
'A score to settle. What does he mean' he thought as he was still shocked by this.
To Karasuma, this wasn't same Eric. The Eric that was like the big brother of the Ed's and Eric. What he saw in his head and through his eyes was a shark, staring at him with a deadly intent, with his black eye acting like a dead eye that sharks have, and his sharp teeth further cemented the whole thing. Trying to bit and drag him down into the sea.
The class just all stood in their spots in fear. Never in the few months that they've been with the Ed's and Eric did they see Eric act in such a way. He was always this nice kid who always tried to protect the Eds from their misfortunes and helped out the class whenever they needed their help, like he was the big brother of the group. Correcting people when they did something stupid, protecting them, and being that exact way a brother would be with his siblings. So seeing him act so harsh and cruel made them fear that this might've been Eric on the inside.
A killer.
Not wanting to deal with it, he backed away slowly and stood near the class.
Eddy grabbed Karasuma's tie and said "How could you just let him go like that, Mr. K. You need to stop him."
"Yea please sir. Eric is scaring me" pleaded Ed while he hid from behind Eddy.
"Yes. I agree sir. How could you let Eric go like that" scolded Double D. Karasuma stared at the 3 boys different expressions and then looked back at Eric who was stretching himself, preparing to fight.
"I can't explain it but he had a look that even if I told that anyone could fight Takaoka but him, he still would've ripped the knife from my hands and do the deed" he said as what he said surprised everyone, especially the Eds and Yada, who turned to Eric and just held her hands over heart and just thought 'Oh Eric, Why.'
"But something else bothers me" said Karasuma, making the students look at him.
"I don't if any of you were paying attention but when those two talked to each other, it was like they met before. I don't know what it is but there seems to be some history between them so and it may be irresponsible of me, but I'm curious as to why Eric wants to fight him. So that's why I let him go" said Karasuma as he eyes became fixated on Eric.
0000000000000000000000
Irina and Korosensei sat on the steps and stared in shock at Eric. They never thought that he of all the students would just take up and knife and decide to fight that man.
"What's with that kid. He just took the knife like he wanted it. Like he was going to do this no matter what" said Irina to Korosensei.
"I don't know.. This has me concerned but I'm positive Eric can protect himself. So let's wait and see" said Korosensei with curiosity. Akira took off his jacket and began to stare with glee at Eric. He gazed into his eyes and saw the scowl upon his face. he could tell that thing must be clicking for Eric now.
"Ah I can see that look in your eye. Oh, my bad" he said trying to make a joke but was just being an ass.
"Anyway that is the look of a killer. I guess you remember me now. I've brought something back" as just smugly looked at him.
Eric just glared at him as he said "You're damn right about bringing something back. The rage I've kept locked away for so long. I swore that I would unleash all my anger on the man that ruined my life and you've just broke the lock" as he pointed the knife at him.
"And this time, I'm not going to be pushed around by you. Never again" growled Eric.
Akira just chucked as he said "We'll see about that. Lets see if you learned anything from my methods... freak" which made Eric clench the knife harder tighten his muscles even more.
The class began to look on in worry but also in expectation.
"You think Eric will get anywhere near him" asked Sugaya.
"No way, Guys a pro. Hell, how would you do with a real knife" doubted Kimura.
"I don't think that's the issue here" said Double D.
"What do you mean" asked Okuda.
"I fear that Eric might actually want to kill him" said Double D. This made the class even more worried. They wanted Eric to win yes, but at the cost of killing a man.
Yada just placed her hands over her mouth in worry as she said quietly "Oh Eric. What's wrong."
Akira took a stance as he said "Ready when you are" but internally thought 'This is going to be fun. Time to school these kids in the art of real humiliation. Dodge, taunt, beat. Wash, rinse, repeat. Plus this'll be fun. Like revisiting old memories' as he licked his lips.
Eric stared at the knife and then back to Akira. This was it. This was his chance to get revenge on the man that ruined his life. Eric brought the knife down to his waist, surprising Akira by raising his eyebrow.
When he saw the raised eyebrow, Eric charged at the man and swung the knife, but Takaoka saw the attack and grabbed his arm and then threw him to the side of him and onto the ground. Eric grunted as he turned around towards Akira. He knew that he man had skills so he needed a way to fool him. He then thought of an idea of how to catch him off guard.
Eric stood up and looked at Akira who was back in the stance he had before. Eric then smiled at the man, making Takaoka question what he was doing, and threw the knife in the air, which made Takaoka and others watch it in question as to why he did that.
With him distracted, Eric charged at the man at full speed. Suddenly seeing the sneak attack, Takaoka threw his right fist at Eric, but Eric was able to see it coming and using his secret move made everything seem slow to him.
He pushed the punch away from him and spun around quickly, while raising his left leg and kicked him in the back of his leg, making him buckle his knees and fell down backwards to the ground.
Eric then turned back around and jumped onto top of Akira's stomach and pinned him down as a glare from the sky showed the knife falling down and ended up right next Takaoka's right side of his face, scaring him. It was over. Eric had won.
Everyone was shocked at this. Eric had won the fight and not even a minute had passed.
Karasuma stood in wonder as he thought "What the hell, that's not something you see every day. Son of a bitch, the talent this kid has. How quick he moves and reacts, how he sees your next moves. Like a swimmer stuck in the sea with a shark swimming fast. Making them fear about when the shark might bite. Not to mention how ruthless he was at Akira. Explains that chill I got from before" as the class began cheering for Eric.
"I don't believe it" said Eddy surprised.
"I must say that was quite the spectacle. I thought he was going to kill him but I guess it was a ruse to throw him off. Whew" said Double D as he whipped the sweat off his forehead.
"Does this mean the big bad man can go" said Ed, while Toka just stood in amazement as she said "You did it Eric. Wow."
The class had continued to cheer for Eric. This meant Karasuma could take his position back. It seemed that everything was game set and match, right?
Wrong.
For as everyone cheered, Eric sat on top of Akira and grabbed the knife by his face, while Akira was still shaking at almost dying from the falling knife. Eric held the knife near his chest, with his head down. Akira looked up but only saw Eric's eyes being covered by shadows. He then moved his face to face him and his killing glare came back.
The kids cheering came to a stop when they saw Eric grab the knife. They looked at him and could feel the same killer intent before and saw him begin to raise his knife up towards his head. Double D was wrong. It wasn't a facade. It was real. Real killer intent.
"If you think this fight is over, you're dead wrong, you monster" as he glared intently at him as the knife was now over his head. This was it. He was going to do it. He was going to kill him and everyone could tell he was going to.
"I'm going to finish what you took from me long ago. You know the old saying. "An eye for an eye" shouted Eric as he began to bring the knife down to Takaoka's face This was it for the man. He was going to die today. He was going to....
"STOP. DON'T DO IT ERIC" yelled a girl which turned out to be Toka Yada, with a scared expression on her face and clenched fists in fear. Eric stopped at the yell and turned to the group with an angry expression, which made some people step back a bit in fear. His sharp teeth were showing and his bad eye made his expression even more terrifying.
Eric turned to Yada's face and saw that she was shaking and had a worried expression on her face. He could see she was terrified as he then looked over to the Ed's and saw that they too were scared at seeing Eric like this. Ed was cowering behind Eddy, while he and Double D just stood there in shock.
Eric could see everyone was afraid of him right now. He almost stabbed a man. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone like that. As he saw their faces, he turned back to Akira who was still shaking in fear.
'I want to do this. He ruined my life. So why.... why am I...crying' he thought as tears rolled down his face. He then dashed all emotions and just let out a roar of anger and brought the knife up and then brought it down towards Akira's face. This made the class gasp as....
Shing
Was all they heard as they looked away in fear but then looked back to see that Eric had stabbed the ground next to Akira faces. Eric continued to cry but then wiped away the tears as he then looked at Akira and said
"Get out. Leave and never come back. You're despicable. You deserve to die but if I did kill you, I wouldn't be much different from you. So beat it. I never want to see you again" as he climbed off of Akira, who still laid down in fear. Now it was over. The battle was done. Eric had won.
He got up from the man and began walking away from him towards the group but as he did that, the class gasped in fear. Eric raised his eyebrow in question but then turned around to see Akira was now standing up but now seemed taller and more pissed off than usual.
"You ungrateful punk. You think its fun shaming your father figure, huh. Having the time of your lives, pretending you've won. Hope it was worth it cause daddy's about to rip you apart. Mind, body and soul"
Karasuma could see he was about to attack him but then he was stopped by Korosensei as he said "uh uh uh."
Eric just stared at him as he said "Father figure. What a load of bullshit" he said as stood up to the man and said "You were never our father figure. You're nothing but a sad, pathetic old man that hurts people to make himself feel better. Whatever you do, you're not the boss of us. Mr Karasuma is our PE teacher. That's all there is to it. When you teach, we're nothing but kids to you. Mr. Karasuma may come off as all business and serious but he treats us as equals he's approachable, and he has cared more about us than you ever did. You were a monster then and you're still a monster now" said Eric.
Karasuma was surprised at how calmly Eric was being with Akira, considering what happened not to long ago as Korosensei then told Karasuma "To teach is also to confront such answers head on. More over, to do so by drawing from the well of their confidence in us. A student confidently answers a question you yourself were troubled by. and that's only the beginning."
As Korosensei continued to talk, Karasuma could see that Takaoka was about to hit Eric so he reacted quickly and hit him with his elbow and caused him to fall back.
"Sorry if my colleague is a bit too big for his britches. He's not in a position to threaten you. Don't give him another thought. I'll negotiate with my superiors to put things back the way things were" said Karasuma but as he said that, they heard Takaoka grunt in pain as he said,
"It's going to take more than that to be done with me. You'll get this job over my dead....."
"That won't be necessary"said an echoing voice. The class turned around to see their principal walking down the stairs.
"Principal Asuno" said Karasuma.
"I trust you'll forgive the intrusion everyone" he said as he knelt down to Takaoka on the ground.
"I came to see our new hire in action. And it must be said. Your methods are nothing short of a travesty" as he held up a slip of paper. Takaoka sat in fear as the glare from the principal made him see in fear.
"Granted fear is the engine of education but a teacher able to install fear only through violence is nothing short of a brute. And I do not employ brutes."
"But I was only trying to...." said Takaoka as Asuno stuffed the paper into his mouth, shutting him up.
"Your walking papers" he said as he began walking away while wiping his hands.
"The ministry of defense does not call the shots around here and I intend to keep it that way. This is my school and my school alone. Remember that."
This just made Takaoka angry as he began to eat the paper and began running way, swearing 'dammit' over and over as he grabbed his bags and ran up the stairs and away from everyone. But before he disappeared, he turned towards the group, pointed towards Eric and said,
"This isn't over you little piss-ant. I'll be back. We met again, and we'll cross paths again in the future" as he then disappeared from sight. The class just stood in surprise until Kimura broke the silence by saying "The man got handed a pink slip."
"Does that mean Karasuma is our gym teacher again" said Okajima.
"I believe it does" said Double D. Then the class began to cheer in happiness that he was gone.
Meanwhile Korosensei and Karasuma stood off to the side as Korosensei said "I see the principal is confident as ever in his methods I see" in an annoyed manner.
"That makes one of us at least" said Karasuma.
"Huh" asked Korosensei.
Karasuma then looked through the crowd of students and locked his sight on Eric and began to to think on what had happened today. "I've taught Eric, along with others, skills to learn how to be assassins but what I saw there wasn't my teachings. It was as if he was doing his own thing. His own way of killing someone. He seemed very determined to kill Akira. Not to mention he seemed to have met him before. The same with Akira. What I saw was what you'd see in films or comics. A man fighting his worst enemy. Not to mention his moves and techniques are that of a person swimming by a shark."
This made Korosensei a bit curious as he asked "And what do you mean by that?"
"The way he moves, like time is slow for him and he's able to move quickly and strike hard. Like a person flailing in the sea, trying to escape from a shark. It can move fast in the water but a person is slow. Makes me wonder if I can shape an ability like that. But that's not what concerns me" said Karasuma in wonder.
"And what might that be that has you concerned" asked Korosensei.
"Those two talked like they met sometime in the past. And it has me concerned. How exactly did the two of them meet." Hearing this info made Korosensei wonder too.
As his teacher, he really wanted to know why one of his own students was willing to kill someone, especially with everyone else being afraid to even touch the knife and with a group of kids that seemed to be nice friends.
0000000000000000000000
The class had continue to cheer both at Karasuma and the principal for making Akira leave but as they continued to cheer, Yada began to see Eric walking away from them and heading to the stairs.
"Eric wait!!" shouted Yada, which made everyone drop their cheers and look towards the commotion.
"Where are you going" asked Yada again.
Eric just simply stated "I'm going home. I've had enough of today" as he continued walking towards the steps.
"Eric stop" said Eddy, feeling concerned for his friend.
The class saw Eric was leaving and their expressions began to shape into concerned ones. Seeing him reminded them of what he had almost done. He almost killed someone and it scared them that this might actually be Eric and that the whole nice thing was a facade.
Eric didn't face them as he just said "What" but in an angry manner.
Eddy tried to find the right words to say as she just stumbled trying to say something. Then he said "Eric......what happened there. It was like you knew each other. Why did you try to kill him. What did he mean by "we met again" asked Eddy. Hearing this made people remember the two of them arguing, like they met before.
"That is something I want to know too" asked Korosensei, as some turned to him but then back to Eric.
"What I saw there was a man trying to get his revenge and it has me concerned that one of my own students was about to kill someone like that" finished Korosensei.
Yada turned back to Eric as she asked "Eric....what happened with you and Akira."

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}
[Instrumentals] The opening of the ending fades into showing the old school building in the afternoon, as the sun was starting to go down.
[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to show the kids of E-Class packing their bags and leaving. Eddy was asking Double D if he had today's notes, which Double D responded with a smile. Ed was packing his things, before pulling out an old piece of food from his bag and eating it.
[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The scene cuts to show Eric exiting out of the room, only to stop when Yada ran up to him. She asked him something, to which Eric smiled and gestured for her to follow.
[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] The Eds and Eric, Yada, Nagisa, Karma, Kayano, and other students are then shown walking down the street to the train station.
[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The scene then cuts to show the doors of a train opening, and the kids walking out of it. They waved goodbye to one another as they went their separate ways
[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] The view is then taken to the inside of the Eds and Eric's dorm. The front door opens and Ed runs into the dorm, followed by Eddy walking and tried, then Double D chipped, and then Eric, who closed the door behind him.
[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] They are then shown eating dinner in the living room. Wide Eric, Eddy, and Double D ate their noodles normally, Ed slurped up all that was in the one go. This caused the others to laugh.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The Eds and Eric are then shown working on homework.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Just like in the intro, Eric is shown brushing his teeth in the bathroom. After a moment, he took the toothbrush out of his mouth and drank a glass of water. After swishing the water in his mouth, Eric spits it out and walked out of the bathroom, heading for his bedroom.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Eric quickly came back in and turned off the lights, ending the outro.
