Chapter 76: Cheat Time

(Karma POV)

I'm Karma, and I'm fine.

"Oh ho ho!" Those are my triumph sounds that I happened to make up on the spot. You know with terribly itchy hands, it was hard navigating this area. But,

my mind manages to save the day for now. I don't know how, but I managed to get my hands to stop itching for now. As I said before, I don't know how my hands stopped itching, but you know, I was sure damn glad that it was gone for now.

"Gotcha!"

"Oh come on!"

Ok, those voices behind me seem pretty distant from here. Maybe it's a good time to just, take a rest and just camp out. I really do enjoy the peaceful tranquil atmosphere the forest gives off. Gives you the time and space to just think and relax.

If only Nakamura were here, just to take that away from me. You'd think she'd be following me by now.

"Two down!"

"What?! You look here too?!"

Now the triumphant voice is getting louder and closer. Karasuma-sensei is a freaking predator here. I'm just one of the many prey that he's after.

Suddenly, I heard a rustle in the bushes, something that's the opposite of relaxing and peaceful. He's here already?! In anticipation for this, I quickly moved away from the foliage, becoming more alert of my surroundings.

"Did we get away?" I heard Kayano asked.

"Of course we did." Nagisa rose from the dense foliage looking around. "But, I'm not sure where we are right now."

Oh it's just them. Whew.

"So, you escaped the monster huh?" I asked the two of them with a cheeky grin.

"That depends, which one are we talking about?" Nagisa asked while he shoved off some random leaves.

"The one that's not an octopus."

"Oh that one? Yeah, we escaped him, but it was sort of a close call you know." Kayano sat at a nearby rock.

WOOSH

A giant gust of wind ran past us. I felt a random slap on my arm as that happened.

"Uhh, what was that?" I asked them, confused.

"What was that you ask? Well I'll tell you! You all just got out!" A grinning Koro-sensei suddenly appeared in front of us.

"W-Wait, so you're a seeker too?" Kayano asked.

"Well, not officially, but I was just bored outta my mind! Don't tell Karasuma though, he'll probably be furious!"

We all gave him an unamused look. This is totally fair.

"Hey sensei, what are those chips in your pocket?" Nagisa asked pointing at it.

"Oh you wanna find out? The flavor will knock you out!"
