Zen's POV
A day to go, before Midterms and I'm being suffocated, Shu's temperament towards me changed and we never have spoken with each other anymore. I don't know what I did wrong, as I'm racking my brains to think of all the possible reasons but came up empty handed. I'm also not doing well at school since the silly warning I gave to Koro-sensei, and Aside from Nagisa, Kayano and Karma. The rest only looked at me differently. I still haven't pulled out my assassination plan, since I'm not feeling like myself lately. I still study to lessen my depressing thoughts but I'm not into it that much, As the bell rung that reminded the student as well the teachers that class hour is over.I noticed Koro-sensei collapsed from exhaustion, I fetch my water bottle and poured water to a glass "Are you okay , sensei?" I asked as I gave him a glass of water. 'He is really serious at his job,helping a group of students to grow well rounded' the though made me feel warm inside, At least his guiding us for a bright future being unique and more importantly being our selves. "ah, Thank you Zen-chan" he said as he took the glass from me.
"You know, he does look pretty beat" I heard Hiroto-san said from across the room since, Sensei and I are at the front. As I felt the stares their giving sensei , "Why's he teaching this hard, anyway?" and thats Okajima-kun's voice. 'wait don't tell me that till now, you haven't felt sensei's sincere love and care for you guys?' I thought as i looked at their direction, surprised at the thought cause i thought since the start of this years term they've been through so much, and sensei's always been hands on with them, i looked at sensei exhausted state, 'Unlike the teachers in the main building I'm willing to defy Father for him to continue teaching.' i though as my determination is willed and clear. "All to get your test scores up! If that happens.....fufufu" Koro-sensei replied as his eyes sparkled, and that just made me smile cause the probability of him thinking that everyone will warm up to him cause of a high test score is at 100%.. 'class-E is blessed to have you here sensei' with that though i chuckled as I look at a now slightly blushed sensei "Koro-sensei, your in a blushing mess" I said as I chuckled more as he try to cover up his blush. While sensei is frantic covering his blush I heard someone beamed "....And with no fear of being killed. I'll be rolling in good fortune!" My neck almost broke of my sudden move, I look at them blankly and with a bit of irritation 'Why can't they see it?' i thought as i frown "The whole studying part is fine and all.." Mimura-san said apprehensively , "But, if we assassinate him, we get 10 billion yen," Toka said cheering up. Unaware I'm already emitting my disappontment in them 'I think too high for you guys..money isn't important if you completely lost it, I'd rather die this march than kill sensei for money. Even if I'm just here for a mare week, I can feel that sensei really care for us, yet you guys can't even see that!'.
"I-is that what you think!?"Koro-sensei is appalled, I feel a bit sorry for him . "We're in End class, Koro-sensei." Okajima-kun said stiffly. "Assassination is way more accessible to us than any exam"Mimura-san said. I looked down, bangs completely covering my eyes.. "Huh? accessible you say?" I said as i had enough of their self doubt, "huh?" I feel like everyone's attention is on me "If you asked me, your just being a big chicken. A coward. that chooses the easy route " I said raising my head and looking at everyone's eyes directly... I saw Nagisa's and Kayano's conflicting gazes., Since I just somewhat stated a fact. everyone's expression darkened "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW, WHAT WE FELT! YOU WILL NEVER FEEL HOW TO BE AN E-CLASS!" Terasaka-shouted full of rage, "Yeah you don't even belong here, if you didn't intentionally pissed the principal." Nakamura-san said "I see" I said nodding "then be it." i looked sharply at everyone "Do keep dwelling to your none exist insecurities, and do nothing about it." I said as i walk towards the door, but i stopped before the door frame. "But bare in mind that Class-E is not the only one, who's willing to kill sensei for money." I said not looking at them and went deeper in the forest.
I kept walking as I think of the things they've said. 'It pains me at how they treat Koro-sensei., even sensei is a mutant octopus he still have feelings and a heart. Even though he love taunting us.., his intention is just to push everyone to their max potential, that's how great he is to me. what an odd mutant octopus who's like a ticking time bomb.' i though as i reach the river stream deep in this forest "Wait a second" I stopped as the realization ponder "His a Mutant Time Bomb at most. His a Time bomb, that means he doesn't want to blow up the earth on purpose, Right?" I said out loud, I took my mini notepad from my coat pocket. I always have this on me since it's where I usually list the things i need to buy for my pranks. It has a mini pen attached to it, so I wont waste time to look for a pen every time. I used the back of the notepad to write my theory just a while ago. Calculating probabilities, and scaling the pros and cons with each probability and connecting it to what happened to the moon. " so I ended up with 3 scenarios: 1. is that taking account of Unidentified creatures outer space, is that Koro-sensei is just a pawn, to threaten the people living on earth to fled for a bigger scale invasion, But the flaw here is the question of why would he teach in my Fathers institute and specifically E-class at that?, 2. Based from his easily diverted nature he might be a former scientist and mistook drinking a potion that made him a giant octopus, but the problem is why would anyone left a dangerous potion for him to drink unknowingly and became a mutant time bomb himself and 3. which leads me to a high possibility that someone took advantage of him and he became a lab rat, taking account to those despicable people out there who'll stop at nothing for their research to be noticed" and with that i Encircled the number 3, cause that's probably the most logically insane one
"Hmmm.. I think that I'll be busy this coming days" I said as i made up my mind to know what happened to sensei, Before i regret anything.
Nagisa's POV
Everyone is talking about the reward money if we complete our mission, thinking about it 10 billion yet is a lot of money, Maybe there's still hope for us "Huh? accessible you say?" someone say and we all follow the direction where the voice came from, we all saw Zen sightly looking down her hair is covering her eyes "huh?" everyone's attention is on her now. waiting for her to talk "If you asked me, your just being a big chicken. A coward. that chooses the easy route " she said. Making me grimed, Did she always think of us that way? No...we're not.. how are meant to succeed if our path is already set up for failure?!, slowly anger rises with in me, but i thought the day she helped me and Kayano, she looked us directly in the eyes, not looking down on us and took us her equal even though shes from A-class that time.
She looked up and gaze at everyone, even though she said those harsh words she still took us as an equal, not looking down but instead disappointed. "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW, WHAT WE FELT! YOU WILL NEVER FEEL HOW TO BE AN E-CLASS!" Terasaka-shouted full of rage,
"Yeah you don't even belong here, if you didn't intentionally pissed the principal." Nakamura-san said, "I see" Zen said nodding "then be it." she looked sharply at everyone but I saw in her eyes that what they said hurt her."Do keep dwelling to your none exist insecurities, and do nothing about it." she said as she walk towards the door, but she stopped before the door frame. "But bare in mind that Class-E is not the only one, who's willing to kill sensei for money." she said as she walked out of the room. everyone stayed silent "tsk, she should mind her own business" Kataoka-san said as she kept her gaze at the door frame "she don't know it's like to be us."Hara-san said that made everyone nod 'But what she just said was a fact that we're not the only one's who's assigned to assassinate Koro-sensei. Their are assassins like bitch-sensei out there that's more capable than us' I though as i feel that the guilt is building up.,
"Ah. I see how it is..." Koro-sensei said lowering his head while blankly grinning. Everyone's taken a back. "How, what is?" Mimura asked while frowning. then Koro-sensei stood up and his face is clouded by dark shadows. "You still don't have what it takes to be assassins, unlike Zen-chan"His face was dark purple with a large X on it, that means his pissed "Everyone out to the school yard,! all of you even your teachers! " Koro-sensei said as he dash outside. "What is he upto now?" Yoshida said frowning "And why would he think so highly of that girl." Terasaka said irritated "Let's just go and follow sensei, we'll know his reason eventually" Isogai said and everyone agreed. We all went outside and stood at the steps overlooking the school yard. "Hey! Nagisa why did the octopus call everyone over?" Karma asked, walking to our way He didn't know what happened a while a go since he ditch Koro-sensei and just message me that he had enough of Koro-sensei persuasive nature for the day "Who knows? A bad mood came over him all of a sudden, along with Gaakuzen-san" Fuwa answered. "Oh, That's why I saw her walked deep to the forest,spaced out" Karma said with concern. I smiled at my friend that his starting to care. "One good thing about the E-class system is it's built-in a remedial process" we all looked at Koro-sensei at the center of the field, He addressed us somberly "By scoring in the top 50 out of 187 students on periodic exams. And receiving permissions from their former teacher to return. they can leave this outcast E-class " everyone flinch taking sensei's words seriously 'but its impossible, since the bar is too high for E-class reach' i thought looking down.
"However, Its too difficult to meet these conditions given their poor grades and inferior academic environment. Most E- class students, being made to feel remediation is to far out of reach " Koro-sensei said as He looked at us disappointed "Being made to face intense discrimination. Ms Irina, let me ask you something as a professional assassin." the all of a sudden Koro-sensei look up and we all look at our back to see Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei with puzzled expression. "huh? What's with all of this?" Bitch-sensei asked raising an eye brow. Koro-sensei didn't look at her instead his gaze was on us "When you're on a job, do you have a single plan prepared?" "hm?, No. It's not often that my main plan goes as expected. Making a detailed back up plan in preparation for any contingencies. Its assassination 101" Bitch-sensei said turning serious "And you, Mr. Kurasuma? When you teach knife skills, is the first strike the only important one.?" koro-sensei swirled around making his robes billowing behind him. Karasuma-sensei looked over to Koro-sensei as he answered the question "The first strike is of course the most important, but your next move matters too, Against a powerful foe, Your first blow is likely to be dodge." we stared at him slowly getting the point "So the precision with which you ca land your second and third blows can decide the fight." most of the class fully realized what Koro-sensei's message
Sensei swirled faster and faster "Having a trustee second step is what makes for a confident assassin, But what about you? We've got assassination, and that's enough, you think," he quoted as, its already hard to see from all the dirt flying around as sensei, keep getting faster " and down go your academic goals! As Zen said You're just trying not to face the reason for your inferiority complex" and with that i feel like I need to go after Zen-chan, she doesn't mean to insult us, but she wanted to help us to stand up for ourselves. a moment later a giant cloud of dust formed that make us close our eyes. all we can hear is sensei's angry voice "Waht if i got away from this classroom? Or if another killer managed to do me? With out the assassination you rely on, all you're left with is goo ol' E-class inferiority!" 'I'm sorry' I didn't took it to account that its possible to happen, I think we all feel that a slight of hope can grace us by killing sensei but unlike Zen we didn't see the probabilities in front of us. That someone might take our target from us.
