book dump 2 (assassination classroom style)

[Noodles]

Killua Zoldyck walked through the halls of Kunugigaoka junior high, on his way to his next class. School was really a pain in his ass, although a necessary one. He had a job to do, and he’d see it through despite how much of an annoyance it was. Whispers and mutters filled the halls as he walked by. Killua kept his eyes in front of him, his books slung in one arm. “So who is he? Everybody’s always talking about him” one of the various students gossiping about him asked. “He’s some transfer student who booted Seo out of the big five” , “Holy shit really?” , “Yeah, and his scores are insane! He’s even competing with Asano-”

 

Killua tuned out the chatter out, it didn't matter. Indeed he had ascended his way to the top. It wasn't quite ‘clawing’ as the other students described, however. It was more of a smooth stroll. Slowly, every day, his grades rose. He tailored it specifically that way. It would seem unnatural if Killua started getting full marks on every single one of his assignments. It had to be gradual. A slow walk. He was sure that walk would still catch much attention, however it would attract a lot less negative attention this way.

 

Killua walked into his classroom, class A. he made his way over to his desk, sitting down in it and crossing his legs. Old habits die hard. “Hmph. he thinks he's all fancy,” one of his classmates muttered, scowling behind Killua's back. Killua chuckled softly, a small grin crawling across his face. “If you're gonna talk shit, why don't you do it to my face” His classmate gulped and looked away. “N-Nothing…” he mumbled.

 

Killua laughed softly and went back to his work. Wimp. The rest of the class went smoothly, and boring. Finals were rolling around, and Killua was almost ready to turn to phase two. “Hey Kil, it's study time.” his classmate, Ren, said. Killua personally despised him, but getting close to the big five’s top members was crucial for his plan. “Hm? Sure. we’re going with the other four?” he asked. “Three, Asano ain’t gonna show.” Ren said, running a hand through his hair. “That study hall was long, but exams are coming up”

 

Killua let out a sigh, gathering his things. It was infuriating having to pretend to want to teach his classmates, let alone enjoy it. He, Ren, Teppei, and Natsuhiko made their way to the library, chatting. Well, the other three chatted. Killua didn’t talk, he was known as the ‘quiet genius’. Whereas most of the big five enjoyed flaunting their intelligence, Killua saw no need to. Instead he simply kept to himself, only talking when it was necessary. They walked into the library, shelves filled with books from top to bottom. He hummed.

 

“Heh, look who it is,” Teppei said, pointing towards a table. Killua blinked. Class 3-E? That was unexpected. Teppei strolled over with a grin. “Look who it is, the class E gang. Why even bother? This place is wasted on you. Pearls before swine as they say” Killua had to force himself not to laugh. As if you're one to talk, you're fucking hideous. The  3-E students looked over with eyes filled with irritation, and mouths stretched in disgruntled frowns. “Oh cute, they're studying.” Teppei sighed and waved a hand. “Hey scrubs, playtime’s over. The big kids need they’re spot” He spat. A scowl on his face.

 

“Hey! Do you mind? We’re trying to fill our heads with knowledge!” the green haired girl said. However, as she did, the book she was ‘studying’ with fell. And underneath it, was a book about pudding. Uhuh. Killua thought, in amusement. 

 

“Uh- Kayano-”

 

“We’re not going anywhere, we reserved these seats in advance.” another one of the students said, a determined look on his face. The blonde yawned with a wave of her hand “yeah you don't know what it is studying with air conditioning until you don't have it, move along please.” Killua was slightly surprised. This was a lot different than the fear or reverence the group usually got from classmates. “What do we have there? Are the lost causes defying their betters now?” Natsuhiko said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.  Killua tuned out most of the argument, it was rather pointless.

 

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he sensed a..pointed object coming towards him. Killua quickly grabbed the arm that was darting for him, and got ready for a fight, eyes snapping forward. His eyes met the confused and shocked sapphires of the blue haired boy. The hell? His eyes darted around quickly, and he quickly observed how all his companions were…well that…sure is interesting. Killua let go before anyone else noticed, then sighed. “Don't be absurd, would you really be willing to stake your life on something like this?”

 

His three companions just stood there in utter disbelief and shock. Killua let out a sigh, then made a clicking noise with his tongue. “Come.” he ordered. “You're making a fool of yourselves” Interesting. Very, interesting.
