The huge crashing sound caused all the students in the classroom to involuntarily turn their heads toward the source of the incident.
Then they saw Kaede pressing Akabane Karma's head against the wall; presumably, the crashing sound from just a moment ago was the sound of Akabane Karma's head hitting the wall.
"Don't get one thing wrong: Koro-sensei has a rule against harming students, but I don't have that rule." Kaede's crimson eyes stared at Akabane Karma, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up. "Fine, didn't you want me to have a strong reaction? You win."
As she spoke, Kaede's other hand was raised, but halfway up, she felt her arm being grabbed.
"What is it?" Kaede looked at Shiota Nagisa, who was holding her arm with both hands, and asked.
"Kaede, he didn't mean it. Please let him off this time." Shiota Nagisa's tone also revealed a hint of anxiety.
"Kaede, you can let go now." At this moment, Koro-sensei also walked into the classroom and discovered this situation.
"Hmm?" Kaede looked at Koro-sensei. Toward Koro-sensei, she now held the most basic respect. Although she still didn't know if the method Koro-sensei mentioned could make her stronger, Koro-sensei was indeed thinking of her, like a real teacher.
It wasn't like that perverted instructor from before; although he eventually taught her sincerely, that method made it impossible for Kaede to acknowledge him as a teacher.
Because of the teacher's words, the anger in Kaede's heart subsided quite a bit. Actually, the main reason was that Akabane Karma hadn't destroyed the painting.
If he had really destroyed it, given Koro-sensei's current position, it would be impossible for him to stop her from killing Akabane Karma. Of course, Koro-sensei might be able to stop her for a moment, but he couldn't stop her forever.
If one was targeted by Kaede, it wasn't that easy to escape. Kaede was, unexpectedly, a very petty person.
"Tsk, Koro-sensei, a violent incident happened right under your nose. As a teacher, aren't you going to do something about it?" At this moment, no one expected Akabane Karma to speak.
This couldn't help but make Kaede sigh that the physique of this world was indeed much higher than the world she started in. Although Kaede hadn't used her full strength, in this fit of anger, she hadn't controlled her strength well. In the previous world, it would definitely have resulted in bloodshed.
But here, Akabane Karma had perhaps only scraped some skin, and now his consciousness had even recovered.
"Hmm, I should do something about it, but from my understanding of Kaede, if she took action, it must be because you started the trouble, right?" Koro-sensei said.
"So what if I did? Now I'm the one being bullied. As a teacher, you should discipline her. Besides, my grades are in the top few of the grade~" Akabane Karma suddenly laughed. If it involved grades, would that work?
These teachers would only protect students with good grades; yeah, that's just how it is.
"Grades?" Koro-sensei was also stunned, then said, "This is not a question of grades. Since it's your problem, receiving some punishment is appropriate, although Kaede's punishment was a bit excessive."
"..." Akabane Karma didn't speak, his eyes flickering.
"He's faking it, right? It must be to maintain his noble image, his lofty teacher's morality..." Akabane Karma's eyes slowly turned dark once again. "Teachers are creatures like that; they clearly promised back then..."
"Let go, Kaede. I believe Student Karma knows he was wrong." Koro-sensei said.
"Let go." A look of expectation also appeared in Shiota Nagisa's eyes.
"Tsk, if I let go, you might be in a lot of trouble." Kaede looked at Koro-sensei, her tone a bit playful.
"Hmm, that will be my problem." Koro-sensei chuckled a few times. He could hear that there was very little anger left in Kaede's tone, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Actually, he didn't understand Kaede. Saying that just now wasn't really because of his understanding of Kaede, but because he knew from previous events that Akabane Karma was a brat. However, it wasn't good to say that directly, so he could only say it was his understanding of Kaede.
"Then, I'll just be an audience member and watch." As she spoke, Kaede let go, and Akabane Karma, who had been pressed down by Kaede with one hand, couldn't even resist.
However, after this incident, the eyes of the Class 3-E students looking at Kaede all revealed a hint of fear, afraid that Kaede would take action against them.
"Little kid, it's better not to be so naughty." Koro-sensei used his tentacles to tidy up Akabane Karma's hair, then walked toward the podium with a smile. "Next is a short quiz, everyone get ready."
Afterward, Kaede truly fell into a state of just watching the show. Whether it was Koro-sensei getting thwarted or Akabane Karma getting thwarted, it was quite interesting to Kaede.
Especially Koro-sensei getting thwarted; that made Kaede even happier. After all, this existence with a top speed of Mach 20 didn't often get thwarted~
However, overall, Akabane Karma's rough edges were being smoothed out, and that dark look had almost disappeared.
However, "almost" also meant it hadn't happened yet. Based on Kaede's understanding of Akabane Karma's personality, before it disappeared, he would definitely make one last desperate attempt. Only if he lost would it truly disappear; once he won, he would fall into a deeper darkness than before.
Ever since Kaede took action, she could feel that the eyes of the people around her looking at her were filled with fear, including Shiota Nagisa.
However, what puzzled Kaede a little was that although Shiota Nagisa seemed to be a little afraid of her, he still came to find her.
"Why do you suppress your fear to come find me?" Kaede also posed this question.
"Because Kaede is a good person." Shiota Nagisa said with a smile.
"No matter from what angle you look at it, I cannot be considered a good person." Kaede replied.
"Hmm, but in my opinion, Kaede is a good person. And the reason you took action was because that painting is very important to you, right?"
"..." Kaede was silent for a while before answering, "To be accurate, it's the people and things in the painting that are very important to me."
Kaede had had enough of pain; now that the three of them could finally be together, such a thing made her very satisfied, very satisfied.
"If Student Karma hadn't tried to destroy this painting, Kaede wouldn't have acted like that, right?"
"No." Kaede looked at Akabane Karma beside her. "I'm not the type to swallow my anger. At first, I just couldn't be bothered to deal with him; if he continued afterward, I would have taken action, regardless of whether he destroyed the painting or not."
However, if it were a different painting, Kaede indeed wouldn't have been too angry, but she didn't say this sentence out loud.
"Anyway, I am sure that Kaede is a good person." Shiota Nagisa said.
"Whatever you say." Kaede didn't continue to explain anything. Looking at Akabane Karma, who seemed to have left in a huff, she said, "That friend of yours seems to be about to do something big. Aren't you going to follow him and see?"
"Huh?" Shiota Nagisa was stunned for a moment, then saw Akabane Karma walking in a certain direction.
"That way is... a cliff?" Shiota Nagisa nodded, "Then I'll go take a look. Kaede is indeed a good person~"
"..."
Called a good person again. Of course, Kaede didn't know what a "good person card" was, so she didn't feel any resentment when Shiota Nagisa said that. On the contrary, she felt a sense of recognition from Shiota Nagisa toward Class 3-E.
What would Akabane Karma's final move be? Although she wanted to know, Kaede still didn't follow him to see; she could just ask Shiota Nagisa when he returned.
Then, Kaede leisurely started painting there again. This time she wasn't painting any characters; instead, she was painting some scenes from her memories, perhaps to keep as memories for the future~
