犬飼 彩葉
student no. 29
season 2 episode 3
'I've got a bad feeling about this.' I thought, watching that kid enter the trap they set as he attempted to kill Korosensei.
"Itona!" Fuwa, Nagisa, Kayano and Terasaka exclaimed as we ran up to Korosensei and the man in white.
This wasn't looking good at all. And as much as I wanted to ask who they were, we had to focus on things that mattered. Like whether or not they'd be able to kill our target.
"First we make drastic changes to the field. Then we attack. Easier to confine him first then strike. I've taken a page from your tactics, you see" the guy in white explained slowly, as we heard Korosensei's voice quiver.
"Shiro!" Terasaka shouted, "So you were behind all this?".
"Exactly" the person who I assumed was Shiro said smugly, "Once that creature starts loosing his students' trust, his movements grow panicked. Even if things seem a little off somehow, he'll dive right in, the fool".
'So he predicted things quite well, huh?'
From the looks of it, it seemed like Korosensei was truly struggling. Well, of course he would be. He can't hurt his students, even if they'd do anything to kill him.
If he won't die from this, I doubt any of us could kill him alone. This'll be a hard job on my part.
"Dammit! That's our kill!" Terasaka cursed.
Fuwa exclaimed, "Why do you always play so dirty?".
When it comes to reality, though, everything that would accomplish the mission would go. It didn't matter whether or not we were playing dirty.
My classmates' faces were filled were anxiety and frustration, yet Karma still gave a calm look of seriousness and a slight irritation.
"It's called 'being an adult'" Shiro answered.
"What Itona has on his tentacles there, are gloves with sharp edges made of anti-Sensei materials" he added, explaining those weird things on the other guy's tentacles. "Every time their tentacles touch, the creature's bare tentacles will continue to take damage. Seems like that's not enough to finish him off, though".
"I won, Nii-san" Itona told him as we watched the octopus get dragged by him before being throsn back to the cage. "By killing you, I'm solving just one problem: I'm proving... my strength!".
I knew it, this guy freaks me out. Somehow, I saw myself in him and I didn't like the feeling it at all.
At this point, the frustrated look on his face after attacking Korosensei said otherwise.
"Yes, very well done, Itona-kun!" Korosensei commended him. And from the tone of his voice, it seems like he's caught up. "If this were before the first term, you may very well have killed me. But your attack pattern is a simple one".
The kid paused for a short moment, as the octopus kept talking. "No matter how fast you are, no matter how strong you are, no matter how many schemes your guardian thinks up, no matter how easily I freak out, by our third fight, I can see and adapt to your patterns".
"No way... It can't be" the silver-haired boy mumbled.
"Itona-kun, I study too you know. How could I teach anyone if I didn't grow and learn day by day?" Korosensei told him.
"Now, lets get rid of this dangerous cloth cage. Experiencing my Absolute Defense Form over summer vacation taught me yet another skill: compressing not my whole body but a portion of my tentacles to release a burst of energy" the octopus continued as we watched the cage light up.
"Wh-What?" Itona's guardian stammered at the sight.
"Remember this, Itona-kun. I say assassination is education. The assassination classroom's teacher will get stronger every time he teaches!" Korosensei said proudly before releasing a burst of light.
Korosensei caught Itona in his arms, and turned to Shiro. "There you have it, Shiro-san. Leave him to the E Class and go quietly" he said, "Oh and... Spread the accurate word that I am not an underwear thief!".
"And I'm actually a B-cup! A B-cup!" Kayano told him flustered in the same manner as our teacher.
I sweat dropped at what was supposed to be a serious moment, while Fuwa and Nagisa looked at Kayano flatly.
It wasn't too long before Itona started struggling and screaming in pain, falling unto the ground.
I really wasn't mistaken when I saw myself in him.
"It hurts. My head's killing me!" He exclaimed. "My brain's about to burst!".
"It's painful! Stop! My head's killing me" I recalled myself screaming once. "No!".
"With the shock of his repeated defeats, his tentacles are starting to gnaw away at his mind" Shiro stated. If we don't do anything about this now, Itona's life would be in danger.
"Hang in there, Itona-kun!" The octopus attempted to assure the boy. Even I could tell that it was a futile effort.
"This might just be all he can take. Why, he can't even pull off this little scheme of mine" Shiro said. "Itona, if this is all you're capable of, the Organization will stop paying. It's not that I don't feel for you but we have to cut out losses at some point if only to get the next model up and running. This is goodbye, Itona. You're on your own now".
Bastard. Using this kid was one thing, but to experiment with him as if they didn't know that they'd take his life awa, and to just dispose of people like that--- Even if it was just another one of his stupid tricks or traps, allowing something like this to happen was just despicable.
"Wait! What kind of guardian are you, anyway?" Korosensei attempted to stop Itona's shit excuse of a guardian.
An asshole, that's what, I irritatedly spat mentally.
"Quit playing school, you monster. All you can do is break things---break everything. I will not countenance your existence. I only wish for your death no matter what the sacrifice" Shiro walked away. "Say, are you sure your dear students are okay like that?".
He calls the octopus a monster as if they didn't just make one with that kid in order to kill him. Humans really are sick.
As if on cue, Itona's tentacles nearly hit us if it weren't for Korosensei. "Look out!".
The boy let out one last scream of pain before jumping away.
I knew. I knew exactly how that felt.
"Itona-kun..." Nagisa managed to say, before we heard a thud.
"Korosensei!" the group exclaimed as the octopus collapsed. I guess even an artificial life form like him needs a break.
"Nurufufufu~" he let out his trademark laugh. "As you might imagine, I'm pooped. Time for a little rest".
If we were going to kill him, now would be a perfect chance but, somehow, we had different matters to attend to.
"Hey, what kind of person is this Itona-kun, anyway?" I asked.
