(Your Pov)

------------------------------

It is early in the morning before the start of school, and my classmates and I are just hanging out in the classroom, waiting for our teacher to come in. 

"(y/n), are you okay? Your eyes are kinda puffy," Kayano said as she leans forward to study my face. 

"Huh? Me?" I ask.

"Yeah," Kayano answers and places her hands on her hips. "You seem a lot more tired too; your face is paler. Here, have a sashimi roll. I made it myself!" She searches her bag for a while, then pulls out a little sashimi roll in a plastic bag. 

Even though I felt that I don't have the energy to move any of my muscles, I manage to give her a wide smile and accepted her snack. "Nah, I feel totally fine. You need to get your eyesight checked." 

The truth is, I had been doing some serious crying since that day, and even now I don't know why. Koro-Sensei's promise of helping me and my dad had calmed me down to some extent, but the image of my father holding the knife to his neck will never leave my nightmares. 

"Yeah, which reminds me, I might need to get some glasses," Kayano said as if she just realized this. "And braces too."

While I nibble on the roll, Mr. Karasuma, Koro-Sensei, and a... blond woman with unrealistic body proportions (cough cough) clinging tightly to one of Koro-Sensei's tentacles...? My brain just isn't in the mood to think things through, so I was just sitting there staring blankly into space while the other classmates freak out about the newcomer. 

"Everybody take your seats!" Mr. Karasuma yells across the room, and everybody scrambles to obey his order. "Ok, look alive, people. Meet the newest edition of the E-class faculty."

We all turn to look at the blond woman, who is still clinging flirtatiously to our teacher's tentacle. 

"Hi! My name is Ms. Irina Jelavić. Nice to meet you all!" She said in a stereotypical cheerleader voice as she beamed at the class.  

I look around the classroom to see my classmates' reactions; funny enough, we seem to think the same thing. The boys are probably thinking, wow, this is our new teacher? She's so hot! The girls are probably thinking, why is she all over Koro-Sensei? It seems a bit weird. 

Mr. Karasuma cleared his throat and speaks up, "We decided to bring on Ms. Jelavić in the interest of beating up the English curriculum, no hard feelings, I hope. She's- uh, very qualified."

Very qualified, indeed, I thought. 

Kayano turns around and says, "She totally has a thing for Koro-Sensei. I mean, she seems nice, so, it's kinda cute, right?"

"Yeah, but I feel like she's acting," I said bluntly. 

"(y/n), I told you that you need to get your eyes checked."

"Guys, calm down," Nagisa sweat-dropped and held up his notebook. "It might be something that we can use to figure out how to kill him."

Even though Koro-Sensei already had a reputation of being "unkillable", our class already noted some very human flaws about him, some of them are pretty dumb. If he can't handle showing off without us roasting him, then this new teacher must have a big impact on him. 

The moment I looked up, Koro-Sensei's face turned pink. I sweatdropped. Other people seem to take note of this too. Nagisa scribbles something down on his notebook, and I motion him to give me the notebook. I read what he wrote and almost snorted.

Koro-Sensei's Weak Point #5: Boobs

"Oh~ the more I look at you, the more I feel myself draw in," Ms. Jelavić said as she gazes upon Koro-Sensei. "Those tiny eyes, those gelatinous joints, I'm basically captivated by the whole package!" 

I manage to avoid gagging. Those are some pretty interesting adjectives. 

But despite whatever the hell is going on, I know deep inside my brain that our new English teacher isn't here too just teach English. I mean, there should be a specific reason for a woman like her to "teach" a bunch of dufuses like E class. 

------------------------------

While our class is outside in the field playing a mildly dangerous game of soccer and kill-Koro-Sensei, I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. I quickly walk towards classroom's bathroom and relieved myself; that sashimi roll Kayano gave me in the morning really took a toll on me. 

After a dreadful 10 minutes, I walk out of the bathroom all refreshed. I walk down the hall and turn around the corner, only to find Mr. Karasuma and Ms. Jelavić talking. Even though they were talking in a low voice, I manage to eavesdrop on their conversation. 

"... And of course, I had all of the usual close range tricks at the ready," Ms. Jelavić said in a much colder tone than before. "Apparently, the art of seduction works just as well on whatever the hell he is."

I'm not surprised that our new teacher was just seducing Koro-Sensei. I give credit to Nakamura for this: no woman in her right mind would fall for a guy like Koro-Sensei. 

"As good as you are, we can't just drop you into this and expect the usual tricks to work," Mr. Karasuma replied. "I know he covers your specialty, but this time you'll actually have to teach."

"As if I'll be here long enough. I'm a professional; the octopus will be pushing up daisies before lunch," Ms. Jelavić said as she opened the door. I almost thought that she saw me hiding behind the corner before she walked into the room. Mr. Karasuma certainly saw me though. 

"(y/n), what are you doing in the hallways?" He questions at the direction that I was hiding, and I immediately step out in surrender.

"S-sorry, Mr. Karasuma, I just came out of the restroom. I'll go out now," I apologize lamely.

He sighs and waves me off, and I awkwardly walk past him to get to the door. Before I step out, I turn around and ask him something.

"Hey, Mr. Karasuma?"

"Yes, (y/n)?"

 "Is Ms. Jelavić really up for the job?"

Mr. Karasuma takes a deep breath before answering me. "So you heard our conversation."

"Ehehehe, sorry. My friends and I already had our suspicions."

"It might take her a while to humble her ego, but I think that she'll get the hang of it," he says with little confidence that it will happen. I couldn't blame him. 

"Yeah, I agree," I said before turning around.

"Oh, and (y/n). About your dad..."

I whip my head around so fast that my hair slaps me in the face. 

Mr. Karasuma holds up his hand as if to calm me down. "It's okay, Koro-Sensei only told me. Even though it might sound cliche, we just want you to know that we're here to support you. If there are any more problems, feel free to talk to us about it." 

I slowly nod, feeling a mixture of both confusion and relief. Then once again, I turn around and head down to the field to join the rest of the class.

(AN) Hiiiiiiiiii guys............. (silently prays that you peeps won't kill me)

Yeah, so, I'm still alive, as you know. It's winter break for my school, so I was able to finish this chapter more efficiently. Seriously, school is beginning to take a toll on me just like the sashimi roll took a toll on (y/n). 

From where I'm living, tomorrow is Christmas and the one-year anniversary of my Wattpad account (yayayyayyyay!!!). I don't know what to do to celebrate.......? So: 

Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!

~ star-chan out!!!
