[Assassination Classroom] Kaede's Time

【—Since our acquaintance is not accidental, it must be inevitable. 】

As soon as I entered the classroom, Isogai Yuma, the class committee member, greeted me before I could put down my schoolbag.

"Good morning, Nagisa-san."

"Good morning, Isogai-san."

"Do you know? We have a transfer student today."

"Transfer student? At this time?"

Will there be any students from our school transferred to Class E at this time?

"I also think it's weird." As he said that, the class committee member of Class E handed the new roster to me who was full of doubts.

I took the student file by chance, and saw the girl in the photo with emerald double ponytails smiling very brightly, giving people the impression of a good girl.

[Name: Kaede Chino] [Age: 14] [Birthday: January 1th] [Previous class: None] [Height: 9]...

Fortunately, a girl who is shorter than me...

wrong!Why should I focus on such a strange place!

I can only complain about my helplessness in my heart, which makes me want to cry even more.

But why is there nothing written in the column for the previous class?Did you enter Class E directly...

The three-year class E is a class specially set up for the poor students in the Luluqiu Middle School. The members here enjoy completely different treatment from the students of our school. The jokes of the other students.We are called "Class E of End" because once you enter this class, you will never recover.However, everyone who was classified as a "loser" when they were students has long since given up their efforts and are willing to accept the sinking...

Most of us entered this class because we were at the bottom of the grade, including me, but there were a few exceptions, such as Isogai, who entered Class E because of violating school rules.

I was about to return the roster to Isogai-san, but he pushed me back.

"This... Nagisa-san, please ask the transfer student to confirm that the information inside is correct, and hand it over to the General Affairs Office of this campus tomorrow morning. Tomorrow you and the new transfer student happen to be on-duty students."

"Why is it just the two of us...?" I remember that it was indeed my turn to be on duty in the last semester, but the other person just transferred here, right?

"After all, the old school building is different from ordinary schools. I also hope that the transfer students can adapt to the work on duty as soon as possible, and also get familiar with the campus environment, right? This way, you don't have to arrange with Terasaka-san like last semester. together..."

"Thank you very much." I responded almost without thinking.

I'm really not good at dealing with "fat tiger" characters like Terasaka.And every time he would leave all the work on duty to me, but he would go home first.

After saying goodbye to Isogai, I had just returned to my seat and was about to open my schoolbag when a face exactly like the one I saw just now appeared at the door.

"Ah, I remember you were..."

"Well, I transferred it today." The friendly smile and very cheerful voice instantly made me feel as if I had seen or heard it somewhere.

A mental search for related impressions yielded no results.Probably just my illusion, after all, there are many people with similar looks and voices...

"..."

"...?"

Only then did I realize that she was staring at me with her head tilted, and the silence between the two of them lasted at least 30 seconds.If I want to say that I will be noticed by others, it is probably only...

"The hair is really long." She smiled and pointed behind me.

Sure enough... As a boy, he has long hair, which often arouses curiosity and even ridicule from others.Fortunately, the school rules of the school are not strict in terms of discipline.

"...Ah," I looked away helplessly, "Although I wanted to cut it short, I couldn't because of some reasons."

As for the reason, it is very complicated to say, and I don't want to mention it.Because "my mother has always raised me as a girl and forced me to grow long hair", I really can't say it.

In fact, I had already prepared an excuse to avoid this topic, but the transfer student didn't ask further like the others, but walked directly behind me at some point.Before I knew it, she transformed my hairstyle into a double ponytail with jaw-dropping speed.

"Look, it's the same as me!"

A happy expression appeared on the face of the transfer student - Kaede Kaede. The emerald bunny-eared double ponytails seemed to be affected by the joy of the owner, and swayed up and down with the movement of the body.

"My name is Mao Yefeng, please give me more advice!"

"Hello, my name is Shiota Nagisa... Please give me your advice."

A girl who is as warm and cheerful as the sun is my first impression of her.

"What's the matter? I think this looks pretty good." She took out the mirror in her bag and pointed the mirror at me.The flat mirror decorated with pudding patterns reflects my current appearance, and the hair is not as long as it used to be after being tied up in a special way, unexpectedly making me a little more boyish.

"It seems...not bad."

"I'll just say it!" She happily put away the mirror, "By the way, is there anyone in the seat next to you? Can I sit there?"

"Well... it should be ok. In the new semester, everyone can choose their seats again." Although most of the students will still sit according to the seats of the previous semester, I think Bupo Youyue, who was originally sitting in this seat, should not would mind.

"Great!" She came to the other side of me with light steps that could almost be described as bouncing - we simply became tablemates for a year.

"Oh? Nagisa, did you change your hairstyle?"

At this time, Sugino, who is a good friend, just walked in, and he saw at a glance that I was sitting in the front row, which was different from usual.

"Yes, this is the new hairstyle I designed for him. How is it? Not bad!" Chino stood up from his seat while supporting the table, and took the initiative to talk to the new classmate.

"Unexpectedly, it feels very suitable..." After subconsciously taking the conversation, Sugino realized that the other party was a new face, "You are..."

"I transferred here today, my name is Mao Yefeng. Please take care of me!"

"Ah, welcome. My name is Sugino Yuto."

The later Bupo classmate also expressed his willingness to give up his seat to Chino, and made fun of my new hairstyle by the way.After that, many students noticed that I had changed my image, but soon, everyone's attention involuntarily shifted to this new transfer student.In the conversation with everyone, she was very relaxed and comfortable.

……Amazing!

I couldn't help but admire in my heart.After just over ten minutes, the new students seem to have fully integrated into the class. Not only can they get along well with everyone in a short period of time, but they can also grasp the atmosphere of the conversation very well, making the originally dull class E suddenly become active.

"Jingle Bell--"

It wasn't until the class bell rang that everyone reluctantly dispersed and returned to their seats.

The atmosphere in the classroom seemed to still have residual heat, and the center of the heat source was this mysterious girl sitting next to me.

I didn't even realize it myself, I just kept watching her all the time.Seemingly sensing my gaze, she was about to take out her stationery, looked up at me, tilted her head and said, "What's the matter, Chaotian-san?"

"By the way... if possible, can you call me by my name?" I don't know if this is a strange request for her.Because my parents are divorced, I take my mother's surname now, but I also hope that they will get back together in the future... Usually they are called by their first names. If I change my surname when I introduce them, it will not feel peaceful to be called by my classmates again.However, if she wants to ask why, what should I say...

"Huh? Of course. That... Nagisa-san?" She honestly agreed without asking further questions.

"Well, thank you..." Although she has a very enthusiastic and cheerful personality, she is unexpectedly well-measured, neither gossip nor pushy, should it be said that she has excellent social skills?There is a sense of déjà vu that I will never be able to reach...

Originally, I was a little curious about the reason for her transfer, but it should be a secret that I don't want others to explore.There are many reasons for being assigned to Class E. Each student's situation is different, but in the final analysis it is a last resort.Just like she wouldn't ask me why I grew my hair long, I shouldn't ask too much about her.

"Is Nagisa the Honorific Language Department?" She deliberately lowered her voice and asked close to my side because she was already in class.

well? !Have you started to remove "classmates"?

"That... that's sort of it." She had already run with the rhythm completely.

"Then I have to work hard, so that Nagisa can remove the 'classmate' of 'Chino-san'." She nodded to herself, and made a fist gesture, as if she really made up her mind.

"This..." I felt that I couldn't keep up with her rhythm.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. Just take your time, Nagisa, don't force yourself."

Take your time... Does it mean that the word "classmate" will still be removed in the end?I complained silently in my heart.

"But...why hasn't the teacher come yet?" Finally she asked a question I could answer.

"I don't know. I heard that we seem to be changing teachers... But speaking of which, Chino-san probably hasn't met our previous teacher."

"Hmm..." She bowed her head suddenly for some reason, so that I couldn't see her expression clearly under her bangs.After a while, he asked, "What kind of person was your former teacher...?"

"She is a good teacher full of enthusiasm, and the students like her very much... When I heard that there will be a new teacher this semester, everyone is very reluctant. I hope the new teacher can be like Teacher Xuecun..."

"That's it..." She seemed to have regained her original spirit, "It would be great if I could meet."

"Okay, okay, you two hurry up and study quietly for me." Megumi Kataoka, the deputy class committee member sitting in front of Chino, turned her head and said with a little dissatisfaction.

Chino stuck out his tongue mischievously, closed his mouth wisely, covered his face with a textbook with a magazine inside, and began to read the introduction of the new dessert shop in the magazine with relish.

Finally relieved, I opened the biology textbook and prepared to preview the content of the first lesson... Just when I saw the third line on page No. 17 "octopus is a kind of mollusk"——

"Wow!" A scream came from the seat next to him.

what happened again?I originally planned to complain a little in my heart, but I suddenly realized that the scream did not come from the direction of Chino, but from the position of Nakamura Liying on my right.

Not only her, but the whole class showed surprise expressions in unison.All eyes were on the same place - the door of the classroom.

Slowly, I realized that a group of people appeared at the front door of the class at some point.Just one glance, and I immediately became like the other students, with a surprised mouth so big that it could even hold a whole egg.

A huge human-shaped yellow octopus in a doctor's robe slowly walked up to the podium in front of the classroom under the supervision of several men in black. Several tentacles that act as legs touched the ground and made a "click, click, click" It sounds squishy like a toy.The octopus man has two eyes the size of date stones on his round head, and a row of neat teeth can be seen directly from the wide open mouth. It is completely an image that came out of a cartoon—or a stick figure.

Before everyone recovered from the shock, the creature in front of them, which was almost impossible to exist on earth, began to introduce himself.

"When we met for the first time, I was the prisoner who bombed the moon." The tie with a huge crescent moon pattern on its chest was like a medal. "It is expected to blow up the earth next year. I will be your class teacher, please take care of me .”

Too many slots!I don't even know where to start throwing up!

Isn't this really an April Fool's Day joke!It's a trick show on TV, right? !

Although there was no sound all around, the whole class probably had the same thought as me.

It seems to be the leader of the men in black, a man in a black suit with fierce eyes began to speak, "I am from the Ministry of Defense, and my name is Wu Jian. First of all, the conversations from now on are state secrets, I hope you can understand."

Finally, someone who seemed reliable came to explain.

"Let's talk straight, I hope you can kill this monster."

Well, I take back my previous thoughts.

Hearing this, the astonished expressions of the crowd became even more exaggerated.

"...Uh, what's that?" Mimura-san, who was sitting next to Nakamura-san, said weakly, and asked the question that everyone wanted to know the most but didn't dare to ask, "This guy seems to be an invading spaceman or something." Bar?"

Mimura's courage deserves the respect of all of us.

"What a disgrace!" The octopus man's face suddenly turned black—not rhetorical, but really black—waving two tentacles with only two fingers as arms, "I was born and bred on the earth Up!"

is that a lie!

"Forgive me for the details," Mr. Wujian added, "What this guy said is the truth. This creature that destroyed the moon will destroy the earth in March next year. Only the heads of countries know about it. Efforts are being made to kill it in secret before the world panics."

As he said that, he took out a knife that looked like a rubber toy from his arms—after all, it was impossible for a real knife to be put directly into his clothes, and he swung it at the monster without even looking at it.

The man named Wujian swung his knife so fast that even the naked eye couldn't catch it.However, the moment the blade approached the monster's face, the monster's figure disappeared, and then appeared on the other side of him.

"However, this guy is amazingly fast."

Wu Jian kept stabbing with the knife, and the monster smiled and dodged all of them. Its afterimage always appeared near Wu Jian's head, as if playing with his eyebrows.

"Don't talk about killing it, it can even help you trim your eyebrows with ease! It's also meticulously sculpted!" Mr. Wujian's fierce eyes seem to have become more frightening. Everyone watching such a scene doesn't know whether they should be speechless Still should laugh. "It's a super creature that can turn a full moon into a new moon, and its top speed is literally Mach [-]!"

Twenty times the speed of sound!Everyone, including me, took a deep breath.

"In other words, if this guy really wants to escape, we will all have to wait to die until he is destroyed."

"Well, that would be too boring." The monster put away the tools for trimming eyebrows, and patted Wujian on the shoulder, "So I propose to the country, although I don't want to be killed...but I am willing to be a third-year student in the Kunquqiu Middle School. The head teacher of Class E."

why? !

Mr. Wujian sighed, "This guy's intentions are unknown, but the government has no choice but to agree, the premise is that you students will never be harmed. There are two reasons. One is that it will be easier to monitor if you come to the classroom as a teacher every day; and there will be Up to 30 people... get a chance to kill this guy from close range!"

"Why did the monster become the head teacher of our class?" "Why did we engage in assassination or something?" Everyone's voices made Mr. Wu Jian's next sentence completely silenced.

"If you succeed, the reward will be 100 billion yen!"

100 billion? !That's money that many of us may never make in our lifetimes.

"This is a natural amount. If the assassination is successful, it will save the earth in the true sense. Thankfully, this guy doesn't take you seriously at all."

Circles of green stripes appeared on the face of the octopus monster, like a neon sign in front of a barbershop.

"Look, when it's green-striped it's a look of contempt."

The demeanor cannot be changed, so use the skin to express the mood? !What kind of skin is this!

"Of course, I can't even kill the country, how can you kill me?" The monster's tone showed its contempt for us. From the voice and tone, it can be judged that the monster may be a man— —If monsters also have gender, "Even when I am attacked by the most advanced fighter jets, I can still wax the fighter jets in the air!"

... The point is why waxing?

"If there is a chance, I hope you can carry out the assassination. We will provide ammunition and knives that are harmless to you but deadly to this guy." As he spoke, two other entourages from the Ministry of Defense brought in a batch of weapons.If it weren't for him, everyone might mistake those "weapons" for children's toys when they first saw them, and even the guns used round toy bullets.

"Absolutely keep it secret from your family and friends. In short, there is no time, and if the earth is destroyed, there is nowhere to escape!" Mr. Wu Jian's serious words finally made the atmosphere tense.

Chino and I looked at each other unconsciously, her expression was full of confusion and helplessness.That's probably how I look too.

"That's the way it is." The octopus monster rubbed its tentacles like a human, and smiled maliciously, "Then everyone, let's live a fulfilling and meaningful life in the remaining year! "

In this way, our one-year assassination classroom began.

——We are killers, and our target is the teacher.

After the day's classes, it's time for school to end before I know it, but today should be the longest day in my life.There are so many things that I can't believe it's true.After I packed my schoolbag, I was about to bid farewell to Kayano at the same table.

"I didn't expect that monster to really look like a teacher. He has a good teaching style." But she spoke first.

"Yeah, it seems to be better than what our original teacher taught."

"is it?"

For some reason, I seemed to hear a hint of displeasure in her tone.

"But a monster is a monster, so it's better not to believe too much in it." She also packed her schoolbag and stood up.

"probably……"

"Do you want to go home together?" She offered the invitation.

"Huh?... Well, let's go together." I habitually agreed, without even thinking about whether their homes were in the same direction.

I once thought that I didn't know how to refuse, but this time I can be sure that at that time, I was really willing.
