CHAPTER FOUR

"You really are a piece of crap, ya know that?" Her father growled.

Barely holding back a sigh she continued to pack away the leftovers from the dinner she made and take off her apron, it was the usual night in the Hanamura household, her doing all the housework and cooking, her father yelling and cussing at her with it hopefully not escalating…the usual.

"OI! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!" her father suddenly yelled, banging his fists on the table and catching her attention.

"Yes."

"Good, now I need you to go wash some clothes for me, they got soaked in blood today and I want them clean and spotless." He snarled as he stalked off to his study.

Sighing she walked off to the laundry room, 'just like Cinderella….' She thought, although Cinderella had to deal with an evil step-mother and two evil stepsisters. She only had to deal with her father, she wasn't sure whether to be grateful or not.

Shrugging to herself she proceeded to take out the number of clothes soaked in blood, she'd gotten used to this routine anyway. Despite being his clothes the blood was most likely not his at all, she didn't really want to know because if she asked he'd probably show her his cruel actions and she wasn't particularly interested in watching others get beaten to death.

Yep….the usual in the Hanamura household.

Collapsing onto her bed with her face against the pillow she let out a long heavy breath, it was still relatively early and she was just about ready to drop, her father and her hadn't even had any conflicts for the past two days which was interesting, he'd been locking himself away in his study and not that she wasn't grateful but he only went so long before looking for a fight.

'Then again he's been beating up other people lately, considering his clothing from before' she thought as she turned her face to blankly stare at the wall, her mind drifting through past events.

First Miss Yukimura is missing….then a new teacher who happens to be somewhat of a yellow looking octopus that claims to be an 'earthling' and also claims to have blown up the moon and intends to do the same to earth in the next coming march and can move at Mach 20 and has a habit of cleaning and grooming people….yet with all this he wants to teach class E specifically of all places. Which in turn means not only do they have a regular middle school class but they are also tasked by the government to kill that thing. Where is the logic? Leaving a national secret in the care of middle school students and expecting them to be able to kill him?

'Bullshit.'

Groaning into her pillow once more she rolled over to stare at the ceiling for a few moments before turning to look at the forever crescent moon.

'Regardless of the situation…we're gonna have to try our best to kill him, and of course, save the earth.'

Kanako sat tensely in her seat, just like everyone else in the classroom they all sat in silence, waiting for their target to arrive.

Soon the sound of the windows rattling from a shockwave alerted everyone of their targets arrival, just a few minutes later a slithering could be heard from outside the room before the door was slid open, their teacher walking in with his usual smile he stood in front of the room behind his desk.

"Alright people, let's get started shall we?" the octopus said in his usual enthusiasm, waving his tentacles around, blatantly ignoring or unaware of the tense atmosphere.
"Class monitor if you would do the honours."

"Right." Said Nagisa as he stood up determinedly
"Ready-"

Upon his command everyone in the class stood, holding out various guns from snipers to shot guns to handguns.
"Aim-"
A tense silence filled the air as every student awaited for Nagisa's next command.

"Fire!" he yelled, as soon as the words left his mouth every student within the class let loose dozens of anti-sensei BBs, their teacher of course, managing to dodge them with his usual Mach 20 speed and typical grin.

"Oh- oh my…well, why don't I just call roll while you students wear yourselves out? Isogai?" he began.

"Here…" Isogai's voice was barely heard over the gun fire causing their teacher to chuckle.

"What's that? I'm afraid I couldn't make it out over all the gun fire!" he replied

"HERE!" came the reply

"Okajima?"

"Here!"

"Okuda?"

"Here!"

The teacher continued to go through the roll, dodging each bullet as he did so as each student continued to reload and fire bullet upon bullet in the hopes of hitting him.

Not too long had passed before he had finally finished the roll and by that time? They were all panting and tired, with the floor absolutely covered in BBs.

"Excellent, all present and accounted for, no tardies congratulations!" their teacher cheered, his face going orange with a red circle, indicating we did a 'good job'.

"He's fast…" Nakamura muttered

"The whole class opened fire and he doesn't even have a scratch." Isogai said dejectedly

"Bastard…." She muttered

"No luck today eh? That's really too bad. What's the lesson here? Numbers are no substitute for inventiveness perhaps? That anyone can point a gun and pull the trigger? I get that you're trying to cast the net as wide as possible so to speak, but the approach lacked originality. When a target clocks at Mach 20 an assassin has to think outside the box~" their teacher lectured

"Hah, right. Mach 20, no frickin way that you dodged that hail of bullets!" Maehara accused, pointing his finger at the teacher in annoyance.

"He's got a point, I mean these are only BB's right? For all we know he could've just stood there and took it like a champ." Sugino stated, holding up one of the bullets to inspect it.

"Sugino has a point sir, the government said that these weapons kill you but is that even true?" She questioned

Their teacher sighed "collect the ammunition and bring it here…" he said before grabbing Okano's handgun.

"As was explained, these are anti-me BB's. Harmless to you, but-" he began as he shot his tentacle clean off, yellow goo exploding out as his tentacle writhed on the floor.
"Able to split my cells like a knife through warm tofu. Developed by your government for that express purpose, of course after a few seconds I can regenerate good as new-" he explained as his tentacle grew back quickly before continuing
"A luxury you won't have if you accidentally shoot your eye out. From now on, no discharging guns in the classroom. Safety first, and good luck killing me before graduation~ You're going to need it~ Now, firearms and government issue anti-me BB's away please, time to get to work!" he finished, his face striped green, clearly he didn't believe they could kill him before graduation. But they'd prove him wrong.

Because after all, we're the assassination classroom.

Class all in all, was boring. Yet she had to admit, it was still somewhat engaging….she still had trouble though trying to wrap her head around the fact that their target was their everyday school teacher. Not to mention they were all getting into a routine of trying to kill him, though, none of them actually tried to kill him. Sure, they made up assassination plans trying to use their knowledge and skills and trying to exploit his weaknesses but it didn't seem to dawn on everyone that they were trying to kill someone. Therefore they all, herself included lacked the bloodlust, lacked the incentive. So whenever they tried to 'kill' him it seemed they all went into it not expecting to actually kill him because he was both smart and fast, so to her? It just felt like some kind of inventive game of tag with them, always losing. Homework seemed to be the main punishment.

The sound of a gunshot echoing through the room ripped her from her thoughts as she snapped her head up to see Nakamura's gun aimed at their teacher, said teacher stopped the bullet by using two chalk pieces oddly enough.

She watched as he turned red in anger "Nakamura! I distinctly remember saying no guns discharging in the classroom!" he reprimanded.

"I know…" Nakamura replied disheartenedly

"Back row young lady, think about what you've done." Their teacher scolded as Nakamura groaned before walking to the back and taking a seat beside her with a heavy sigh.

"Nakamura, you couldn't have expected that to work, right?" She asked her boredly as she leant back in her chair, the two front legs lifting off the ground.

"Well it was worth a shot….and just call me Rio." She said dejectedly

She nodded "Alright, just call me Kanako then. And anyways, I think we need to come up with more inventive ways of assassination, not only that but if we can't conceal our weapons in some way he'll disappear in a heartbeat."

Sighing again Rio rested her hand on her chin, casting a glance at her "Yea we all know that but…what ways? We still barely know any of his weaknesses or the tell-tale signs of his moods…I'm sure one of them would indicate when to strike."

Resting her hands behind her head she stared up at the ceiling as per usual "Don't fret, I'm sure we'll figure something out, we've still got quite a while to plan and attempt assassinations. Besides, I'm pretty sure I've seen Nagisa write down some weak points." She explained

Nodding Rio smiled "Yea I guess you're right."

Before anything more could be said the bell for lunch time rang throughout the classroom.
"Oh, that's lunch time everybody. Excuse me while I pop over to china for a quick bite, you have my cell number, any killers feeling especially trigger happy today are welcome to hit me up." Their teacher said before disappearing out of an open window.

"Okay math. If he's traveling at Mach 20…." Rio started as she walked back to her desk

"It'll take 10 minutes tops to reach his favourite takeout place in Sichuan…." Nagisa finished

"So just to be clear, we've absolutely ruled out missiles?" Maehara questioned

"Are you kidding? Even if we had access to that kind of hardware he can break the sound barrier." Isogai replied

"Whilst grading." Kanako said in annoyance with a small scowl in place as she glared at the ceiling once more, that guy was talented for sure.

"Yea my homework even came back with a doodle on it." Isogai said in amusement.

"All things considered you have to admit, he's not doing a bad job…" Rio stated

"True…" she said

"I know right? He tutored me on algebra and I killed it on our pop quiz the next day!" Kurahashi said proudly

"Yea….kinda a shame…we get our grades up just in time for the world to end…." Mimura said with a grim smile.

"Well college wasn't happening either way." Okajima stated casually

Silence engulfed the room as everyone was left to their thoughts, despite it being lunch there was no chatter as thoughts of their grades and the world's destruction loomed over them. It was pretty suffocating to think of such a topic, but it's not like they could avoid it.

It was kinda sad….as happy as E-class could be at times, they were E class, heck she might've once been in A class but that didn't really mean jackshit. She got into that class purely from studying her ass off and having countless sleepless nights. She just wanted to prove to her father that she could do it, that she could be smart and be the best of the best. He clearly wouldn't have it though, without her studying at home, even when she studied during lunch times and the school council meetings A class ran, she still failed, she just wasn't fit for A class, once again without her study time she even felt that in D class. So maybe she did belong here? The thought instantly made her clench her fists, was being in E-class such a bad thing? Dammit, not too long ago she'd thought this class wasn't bad, that everything would be fine and that the class would cheer up, that the main campus would soon welcome them.

But now….she was being dragged down with them, it sounded overly dramatic and made them sound evil but it was just like how they didn't truly grasp the reality of the situation of the fact that they had to kill. Soon enough they'd find out, just like how she after a little while began to understand that there wasn't really much hope for class E, or for herself.

They might've been the assassination class but still, they were the End class as well, in short? The people with no future to look forward to.

Fifth period had recently started and with the thoughts from lunch still lingering the class remained quiet as the sound of chalk against blackboard filled the room.

"Okie dokie, you're assignment this afternoon is to compose a short poem. The final line should read, 'was tentacles all along'." He instructed

The whole class grumbled before Kanzaki raised her hand "excuse me sir, really?"

"Really. When you've completed the assignment, kindly bring it forward. You will be graded on creativity, grammar, and overall beauty of expression." He stated.

She raised her hand quietly as their teacher turned to her "Hanamura?"

"But sir, why does it always have to be tentacles? You even make the bonus questions on tests and assignments related to octopuses and tentacles!" she said with slight exasperation in her voice.

"I don't see what's so wrong with it, it gets the creative juices in your brain positively flowing~!" He replied before adding "To make it easier, here's an example. 'Not the storm of garden snow, of flowers moving on, but sprouting there instead, was tentacles all along!'"

"Yea because that makes a whole lot of sense...sheesh." Isogai muttered

"I don't see how that made it easier…" she muttered with a sweatdrop

"You may go home once you're finished." Their teacher said earning voices of complaint throughout the room.

"What? But sir, was tentacles all along-" Kurahashi began before being interrupted

"Should get those little synapses sparking and the imagination slithering~!" he cheered enthusiastically before waving his tentacles around frantically and making weird noises as if he were underwater blowing bubbles.

"Could you please knock that off?!" Maehara yelled in annoyance

"I hate poems…." She groaned as she rubbed her forehead in frustration, ignoring the teacher and Maehara briefly before Kayano's question broke her from her misery.

"Um sir, question." She said, raising her hand.

Looking somewhat distracted their teacher snapped to attention and turned to Kayano "Huh? Of course, fire away Kayano."

"Do we always have to call you sir? You haven't given us your name and I think we need one. I mean it'd be kinda awkward if we didn't call you anything, right?" Kayano questioned.

"Yea I was wondering that myself…" she said with a sigh, resting her chin on her hand as she stared at the teacher who seemed a bit thrown off.

"Hmm, trouble is, I don't have the sort of name you just give to people. Why not pick one for me!" he suggested.

"What could go wrong…" Maehara muttered sarcastically

"For now, just focus on schoolwork. I'll just take a short break…." He said before turning pink.

She raised her brow at the action 'he's taking a break? Really? They might just be middle schoolers but this was a goddamn assassination classroom! What kind of target would take a 'break' in front of all their opponents?' Sighing to herself she shrugged, she would normally take the awesome opportunity to attack him but she didn't feel like it for once, she knew she wouldn't be able to get him anyway.

No sooner had she thought that did Nagisa stand up, their still pink teacher looked up abruptly "Oh- seems the muse favours Nagisa."

Her eyes widened as time seemed to slow down, his steps echoing through the room as everyone watched, behind what was presumed to be the 'poem' was an anti-sensei knife. Everyone in the room watched with baited breath as Nagisa almost casually walked forward, that alone scared her, the fact that he could walk toward her and she wouldn't even know he was trying to kill her…..

Nagisa stopped in front of the teacher and as fast as lightning he whipped out the knife and aimed to strike before their teachers tentacle held Nagisa's arm in place.

"What did I say about thinking outside the box?" He said, grabbing a handkerchief so he could grab the knife from him.

Before anyone could say or do anything Nagisa jumped forward, enveloping their teacher in a hug, an instant later an explosion went off and BB's scattered everywhere. Kanako shielded her face with her arms as a few BB's hit her causing it to sting slightly. A lot of the other students around her screamed in shock as the smoke cleared.

"OH YEAH!" Terasaka cheered

"We did it!" Muramatsu shouted

As Terasaka, Muramatsu and Yoshida ran to the front shouting about being billionaires she stood up abruptly and rushed to the front.
"NAGISA!" she shouted as she stopped by Maehara staring at the black lump on the floor.

"You jerks!" Isogai cried

"What the hell have you done?" Maehara growled

Terasaka stepped forward and leaned down "Hah, never saw a suicide bomber coming did ya?"

"TERASAKA! What did you make Nagisa do?!" Kayano cried.

"What? I'm sorry you have a better idea? I gave him a modified toy grenade filled with those stupid BB's and a spoon full or two of gunpowder so that they'd scatter at a high enough speed." Terasaka explained.

Many of the students in the classroom gasped, Kanako clenched her fists as he continued "Don't worry, it wasn't enough to kill anybody. I'll pitch in on his medical bills."

"YOU ASSHOLE!" she yelled, she was about to rant at him before she, along with the others noticed Nagisa covered in some strange fluid, and without a scratch.

"Woah, he doesn't even have a mark on him! And what the hell is this membrane? Did the body-" Terasaka was cut off by a very angered voice causing everyone to freeze.

"It's not a body, it's a husk. I shed my skin once a month, I wrapped it around your classmate to protect him from the blast." Their teacher explained, everyone looked around before finally seeing him above them, his eyes glinting red.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you didn't see this coming. Terasaka,Yoshida, Muramatsu." He practically growled as she felt the room temperature drop they all watched in fear as his skin began to turn black.

'Black skin…that's gotta mean…enraged. Not good…' she thought in panic

"This was your doing, wasn't it?" he snarled

"W-who us?" Yoshida questioned

"It was all Nagisa!" Terasaka said his voice wavering as beads of sweat rolled down his face.

As soon as those words left his mouth their teacher disappeared with a strong gust of wind before reappearing, another gust of wind pushing through the room, everyone briefly covered their eyes before staring in shock as their teacher dropped a bunch of name plates to the ground.

"T-the name plate off my house!" Terasaka said in disbelief

"Here's the deal kiddos, the agreement I have with your government forbids me from harming you, but there's a catch. If you pull another irresponsible stunt like that again…there's nothing that says I can't harm someone else. Family, friends, everyone in the world except for you if I feel like it." He growled, his fury practically filling the room.

Kanako stared at him in fear, even if his threat meant practically nothing to her she still felt the impact of his words hit her like a dagger to the chest.

"Go on! Threaten us! I ain't afraid of you! Where do you get off blowing up the moon?! We got rights you know! Call us irresponsible! We're just defending ourselves!" Terasaka yelled, pointing at the teacher accusingly as his voice wavered.

Immediately the tense atmosphere practically evaporated as their teachers face turned orange with a red circle. "Of course. I know that, I'm not calling you irresponsible for trying to kill me. No, no, no, as a matter of fact Nagisa here gets full marks for technique. His composure was simply outstanding, however-" he said, pointing accusingly at the trio of boys, who looked away in shame.

"None of you cared if he was injured, not even Nagisa himself it seems. Students with that attitude aren't fit to assassinate anyone!" he said, his face turning purple with a dark purple 'X' before turning to the class to begin his usual lecture.

"You must believe yourself worthy of your target. That means taking pride in what you do, in yourselves and each other! All of you are more than the sum of your parts." He explained before turning to Nagisa with his usual grin.

"Here's a puzzler for you Nagisa, given that I have no intention of being killed. Though of course I have every intention of enjoying our time together before the planet goes kerflooey.* what exactly are you going to do about it?" he questioned

Nagisa pondered for a moment before smiling "I think you'll find out I can do plenty sir. Just you wait and see." He said confidently.

Their teacher chuckled, with green stripes adorning his face "that's the spirit! No one leaves until I'm vanquished!" he declared causing an uproar in the class as people had returned to their seats, many of which calling bullshit as their teacher began to clean things whilst the students pulled out their guns.

Before anyone could complain anymore she heard Kayano gasp "Korosenai…oh! Koro-sensei!"

She smiled before turning back to the teacher 'un-killable huh? We'll see about that.'

*Kerflooey- so for those of you who don't know, kerflooey means in an informal sense, to cease functioning, especially suddenly and completely, to fall apart or fail.
