S1 EP6: Test Time

When the screen lit up and the episode started running. The parents make themselves comfortable in their new-styled seats. Unlike the first five episodes, they can now see each other and have a better access in the screen.

The bell rang for the morning at the Old Campus.

"Now the class..." Koro-sensei was moving at Mach 20, a blur of motion. "Shall we begin?"

"Begin what?"

They have the same question like their kids in the screen.

The class stares at him dumbfounded.

"Midterm time has rolled around!"

"So its midterm preparation, huh?" Mrs. Sugino pointed out and that made most of the parents to get interested and focused on how did their kids review and prepared for their midterms.

"Yes, that's right!" Isogai exclaimed.

"And, that's why this period..." Koro-sensei sped up. "Will be spent in high-speed enhanced test studying!" The class gasped when he suddenly appeared at each one of their desks. "My doubles can work with you one-on-one to drill you on each of your worst subjects!"

"That is quite convenient." Mrs. Sugaya commented seeing how Korosensei manage to tutor the whole class at the same time.

Terasaka wasn't impressed. "Ridiculous. He even switches headbands for each subject," he grumbled. When Koro-sensei appeared in front of him the boy glowered, but then gasped when he saw the teacher had a Naruto headband on."Hey! Why do I get a Naruto headband?!"

This made the Mrs. Terasaka giggled and made Mr. Terasaka smirked, "That is a good headband." He said since he likes Naruto.

"But what does Naruto means?" Mrs. Kurahashi asked and Mrs. Terasaka enlighten her, "Its just means that he is dumb in tons of subjects that the octopus couldn't fit it in one band." she said still stiffling her laughter that earned a scowl from her husband who is trying to defend his favorite character.

(I think Koro-sensei is getting faster and faster!) Nagisa thought as he watched the teacher speed up. (Six Japanese, eight math, three social studies, four science, four English, one Naruto.) Fuwa tried to keep up with Koro-sensei's gibberish. (Splitting up for each student like that, it wasn't long ago that he could only handle four or five doubles.) Suddenly a dent appeared in Koro-sensei's face, making Nagisa jump.

Karma had his knife raised, sticking out his tongue.

"Ah ha! I'll give an A+ for Karma!" Mrs. Akabane exclaimed in glee and Mr. Akabane just chuckled.

"No sneak assassinations now, Karma!" Koro-sensei scolded. "Dodging will disrupt my persistence of vision!"

"These doubles are so fine and delicate," Nagisa said. "But, do you have any strength left after making them?"

"Not to worry!" Koro-sensei looked at him. "I have a double resting outside."

Outside there was a double sunbathing near the window.

"And how is that suppposed to help?!" Mr. Maehara deadpanned and Mr. Takebayashi and Mr. Okuda both adjusted their glasses.

"Technically he is giving himself a free time to rest." said Mr. Takebayashi but was interrupted by Mr. Okuda, "However, keeping those images is making him use more energy that he used to be."

"But the guy is moving in a maximum of 20 mach— well, that creature I mean— what I am saying is one image is probably nothing to him." Mrs. Nakamura pointed out.

"How is that helping?" Nagisa yelled.

He sighed and looked out of the window. (This power-up in acceleration, he must be gearing up to destroy the earth a year from now..." The crescent moon was shown.(No matter how you slice it, he's one tricky target for us killers.)

Mr. Shiota winced at hearing his son's own thoughts.

"Is that an assassination reference?" asked Mrs. Maehara and a few of them just shrug, "Seems like it." Mrs. Akabane answered still staring at the screen.

"So," Koro-sensei looked up from the textbook. "Do you understand so far, Nagisa?"

Nagisa looked up and smiled. "Yes, sir."

Across the class, more and more students were cheering up while the doubles tutored them.

(If you're facing exams, he's a good teacher to have.) Nagisa smiled to himself.

Everyone has mixed reactions when Nagisa said that. 

"A good teacher to have?" Mrs. Okano asked confusingly.

"I did not expect that," said Mr. Kataoka who is surprised as well from the boy's words. 

Assassinating the creature who plans to explode the Earth is one thing, but having recognition from its killer from a whole different aspect is surprising. 

"Well, he kinda shows that he is a good teacher from the previous episodes." 

Mr. Kanzaki snorted at Mrs. Isogai's words. 

"What we have seen so far is him being a perverted and childish creature. He barely teaches in class!" He reasoned. 

"Can we just continue? This is in the past. Our arguments will do nothing. Either he is a good teacher or not. He is dead already so shut the fuck up and focus on what we must watch!" Mrs. Akabane yelled across the room with a tone of intimidation. 

Silence suddenly entered the room and some of the mothers shivered to hear the redhead that is sitting at the edge of the crescent circle. They decided to set aside the argument about Korosensei being a good teacher, but Mr. Kanzaki rolls his eyes, clearly annoyed at the redhead who keeps on embarrassing him in front of the others. 

The scene cut to the intro where the crescent moon appeared.

With the school day done, the students started to leave the campus building.

The scene shifted to the staff room where the Principal was holding a Rubix cube.

The Principal twisted the cube around to align the colors. "I want to line up the colors on this cube—all of them, and quickly."

"I suddenly feel like something is about to happen, and I don't like it," said Mrs. Itona from her husband who agrees. 

Bitch-sensei and Karasuma watched on curiously.

"With a method, anyone could use..." the Chairman continued. "How would you go about it?" The Principal asked. "Teachers?"

"That guy is creepy," Mrs. Kurasahi commented. 

"But he is quite good-looking," Mrs. Maehara pointed out that made Mr. Maehara's jaws dropped. 

Back in the classroom Nagisa and Kayano were cleaning up the room while Koro-sensei was just out of the door.

"Goodbye, Koro-sensei!" Nagisa smiled.

"Hope you manage to kill me tomorrow," Koro-sensei chimed, as he walked out.

"What a unique way to say see you tomorrow." Mrs. Fuwa said as she giggled.

"The answer is simple." The Principal used a Screwdriver to break the Rubix cube, just as Koro-sensei walked in. The Principal smiled. "Take them apart and put them back together. Very Logical," he said, pausing when he noticed Koro-sensei.

"We meet at last, Koro-sensei!" The smile was back again.

Koro-sensei closed the door behind him. "He says he's the Principal of this place..." Bitch-sensei said warily.

"As teachers, he's our boss," Karasuma added.

Koro-sensei suddenly stood to attention, sweating nervously. "My-my you've come all this way!" He zoomed to the Principal's side and served him tea and then gave him a quick massage.

Jaws dropped the moment Korosensei shows his attitude towards the principal. The redhead mother– Mrs. Akabane alongside with Mrs. Nakamura and Maehara laughs loudly seeing what is in the screen.

"I can't— I just can't." Mrs. Isogai said while shaking her head.

Mrs. Hiromi and Mr. Shiota is partly amused as well. The one who threatened to blow the Earth is seen being a servant in a mere principal of an elite school.

"Say might I receive a little bump in my salary?"

"I say that is a realistic and honest act that I ever seen coming from a teacher." Mr. Okajima said.

Nagisa was walking past when he overheard.

The Shiota's flinch when they saw their son in the screen, obviously eavesdropping.

"I've added a few more doubles you see," Koro-sensei tried to negotiate.

Nagisa groaned at Koro-sensei's ass-kissing.

'Koro-sensei's weak point #6: Subservient to higher-ups.'

Mrs. Yada giggled, "I am starting to think that these weaknesses is just a cover." she said.

"There is a high chance that your statement is true." Mr. Takebayashi said, "It might be possible that he is just covering his true intentions." he added.

"Aren't he already revealed his true intention?" Mr. Yukimura asked.

"What kind of person— or creature— will reveal what he is planning next year? Based on what we have seen. There is no way that he is that kind to say his plans to his killers. Except if it is not his true intention or he couldn't do something about it." Mr. Okuda reasoned that made the whole room quiet.

They are all aware that Korosensei is too good to be true for being the one who plans to explode the Earth. Whar Mr. Okuda has mentioned also passed on their minds but they did not give a high amount of thought in it.

As the silence continues, they decided to bring back their attention to the screen.

"—And, I'm sure it's within your power to—" Koro-sensei was cut off when the Principal turned around, still smiling.

"I must apologize," The Principal said.

"I'd meant to come to pay my respects." He stood up while the others watched him. "The Ministry of Defence and Mr. Karasuma have told me all about you," he mused lightly. "I can't claim to understand everything, but..." The room seemed to grow darker. "How very sad you are. Looking to become the savior of the world, only to fall into the role of the great villain who would destroy it."

Nagisa's eyes widened. (Saviour? Villain?)

The earlier discussion is still fresh.

"What does he mean about that?" Mrs. Maehara mumbled, pretty sure that she is not the only one who has the same question in her mind.

The Principal's smile grew crooked. "But, let's set that aside for now. Struggle as I might, I can't save the planet from its crisis," he said curtly. "Barring the unexpected, I'll stay out of your assassination altogether." He turned away and stopped near Karasuma. "You certainly paid me enough."

Mr. Terasaka snorted, "Of course. Its all because of money that the school hide it in public."

"It has its good thing. If this information has been revealed in the public. The humanity will probably self-destruct before that creature tear the Earth. Hiding it in the citizens is a decision that I can certainly agree." Mr. Shiota said to the others.

They hate to admit it but he is right. Though dragging their kids in this mess without them having a single clue about it is still out of the agreement.

"That will be helpful," Karasuma replied politely.

Bitch-sensei smirked. "Well, aren't you rational?" Her voice turned coy. "I do like a rational man."

He placed his hand on his chest. "I'm honored. However..." He turned back to Koro-sensei and walked over to the window while the teachers watched him. "As Principal, I must consider what's in store next year and beyond should Earth survive." He sat down on the window ledge. "In other words, if someone does happen to kill you, what is this school's future?" Dark shadows loomed over him. "Frankly, we need E Class to remain as it is."

Mrs. Akabane raised her eyebrows, "He needs the Class E to remain being the pot of misfits in his own school? Well, well. I thought the whole 'discrimination thing' has been done by the students. It did not occur to me that the principal itself is considering those actions." a glint of irritation is in her tone.

Nagisa tensed as he spied on them through the crack.

Koro-sensei's smile was stiff. "As it is? You mean with rock-bottom grades and treatment, like now?" he asked coldly.

The redhead Akabane smirked. Even that creature agrees she thought.

The Principal remained unfazed. "Yes. Are you aware of the worker ant principle?" A line of ants was shown.

"In a group, 20% will be lazy, 20% will work hard, and the remaining 60% will be average." His gaze darkened. "My goal is a group with 5% slackers and 95% hard workers."

E Class was shown trudging through a swamp.

"I don't want to be like E Class." an imaginary student despaired.

Another imaginary student agreed. "I don't want to be in the E Class."

"With 95% of students thus determined," The Principal reasoned. "My ideal ratio is attainable."

The whole room tensed when the other parents felt a heavy anger inside the room. Their eyes find its way to Mrs. Akabane and Mrs. Nakamura who has a scary face of anger plastered on their faces.

Koro-sensei's face was clouded by shadows. "I see. How logical," he commented. "Then the 5% of E Class must be kept weak and pitiful."

Mrs. Kurahashi couldn't help it but to tear up a bit. Hearing such dreadful words from the principal of the school, who lets such behavior towards the Class E. My daughter experienced such things? He eyes trailed to the capsule where her daughter, Hinano is sleeping peacefully. Her husband gently carress his wife's squeezed palms, giving warmth and assurance.

The logical way of the principal did not earned a recognition from the other parents as well. Most of the father's are gritting their teeth in anger towards the man appearing in the screen who happens to be the Principal of the school where their kids study– who supposed to encourage them, not to discourage them.

"I received a complaint from the D Class Teacher today," the Principal replied.

A flashback showed Takada and Tanaka complaining to Kensaku. "He said: A student from E Class glared at one of my students." A demonic Nagisa was shown threatening the two boys. "And threatened to kill him."

Mrs. Hiromi's eyes narrowed, "What a bunch of liars. They initiated it and put the blame to Nagisa?" irritation is laced on her voice.

"Uh..." Nagisa's face went blank at the sheer stupidity.

The Principal smiled coldly. "I'm sure the glare was part and parcel of the whole assassination thing, and that's fine. The problem..." A hand was shown reaching out from the swamp. "...lies in the student with rock-bottom grades defying a regular one." Principal's Asano's eyes narrowed.

"What is his deal? Is he making some sort of monarchy system inside of their own campus?" Mr. Okajima asked.

"Seems like it. But Class E is the only one in a disadvantage though." Mr. Yada told him.

"Under my policies, that cannot stand." The Principal stood up while Karasuma's gaze narrowed.

"Please tell him in no uncertain terms to control himself," he ordered.

"Oh, and Koro-sensei?" He threw something at him. "You have two seconds. Solve this!"

A puzzle landed in his hands. "What? Just like that!?" He got flustered trying to untangle the metal puzzle. "Ah!" A second later his tentacles were knotted together.

Nagisa was shaken. "What the hell is this!?"

'Koro-sensei weak point #7: Metal ring puzzles freak him out.'

In the scene, the parents deadpanned seeing Korosensei being flustered in a metal puzzle that the Principal threw at him.

"Are you sure he is dangerous?" Mr. Terasaka whispered at his wife who just answered with a light smack in his arms and shushing him.

"Your amazing speed lives up to the hype," the Principal said. Koro-sensei was getting more tangled up. "No doubt you can dodge any attempt on your life..." Koro-sensei collapsed on the ground with the puzzle in his mouth. "But, you know, Koro-sensei, there are problems speed can't solve." The Principal loomed over him.

Mr. Okuda couldn't help but to agree. Speed alone is not an answer for everything. The Principal nailed this one. But Mr. Okuda is still not agreeing on his logical methods he applies inside of his campus.

Koro-sensei was silent, his face buried in the floor, Karasuma and Bitch-sensei remained tongue-tied as well.

"Now if you'll excuse me." The Principal said, walking towards the door.

Nagisa hastily jerked back behind the door as it slid open.

"Hm?" Principal Asano noticed him straight away.

"Uh..." Nagisa looked up apprehensively.

The Principal smiled pleasantly. "Hey there! Looking forward to seeing your Midterm results! Good luck."

Nagisa's eyes bulged.

The Principal's smile disappeared the second he turned to walk away.

It did not go unnoticed. Mrs. Akabane tched, "What a two-faced jerk." she mumbled under her breath.

Nagisa watched him go. (With that dry 'good luck', I went from being an assassin to back to the End Class, just like that.) He hugged his bag closer to his chest.

Back in the staff room, Koro-sensei was still lying on the floor. (As a target, this guy is practically invincible.)

Mr. Okajima and Maehara winced seeing the poor octopus lying on the floor, defeated.

Bitch-sensei and Karasuma looked down at the yellow octopus. (His assassination is entirely within our control, but as a teacher, there's someone more powerful pulling the strings.) Outside the wind was picking up a storm as the Principal walked away. (The Principal of Kunugigaoka Academy, Gakuho Asano.)

Back in the staffroom Karasuma read an article with the Principal on the front cover, titled 'Education's favored son'. "A shrewd manager who in its first ten years made this school one of the nation's best." He grimaced. "There's no escaping the structure he built here." He glanced over at Koro-sensei. "Not even for you."

Koro-sensei broke the puzzle with a single tentacle.

The scene changed to the next day.

"Good morning, class," Koro-sensei greeted them. He was going even faster than yesterday, making more doubles. "Today I've tried making even more of me!"

Nagisa groaned. (That's way too many!)

"He is pissed." said Mrs. Nakamura who is starting to get amused after the previous scene.

"Now, let's begin!" Koro-sensei was going too fast, the doubles were glitching which just made the students confused.

(Even the afterimages are getting sloppy) Nagisa started to worry.

Okajima was stressed trying to keep up. (So sloppy, it's like he's turning into someone else!)

Kayano smiled warily. "What's wrong Koro-sensei? Isn't this a little too gung-ho?"

"Hmm? Not at all!" Koro-sensei replied.

Nagisa tensed when he remembered the Principal's words.

'We need the E Class to remain as it is.'

Nagisa gripped his pencil too tight.

The mothers; Mrs. Kanzaki, Mrs. Kurahashi and Mrs. Kataoka is starting to feel guilty from what they had done to their daughters. The memory of the news that they were admitted to the End Class is still fresh in their minds. How the kids stare blankly at the empty space, accepting the hurtful criticisms that they received from their own family.

How horrible of them. Now, seeing their point of view makes everything sensible.

By the time the bell rang Koro-sensei had collapsed from exhaustion.

"That is what happen when you overwork yourself." Mrs. Sugaya pointed out.

"You know, he does look pretty beat," Hiroto commented while he and the rest of the class stared at their strained teacher.

Rio grinned wickedly and held up a knife. "Maybe now's our chance!"

Mrs. Nakamura sighs on her daughter's remark. She wanted to praise her for not slipping an opportunity, but at the same time from a teacher's perspective. It is quite disrespectful for someone who is trying his very best to help them on their studies.

"Why's he teaching this hard, anyway?" Okajima said, arching an eyebrow.

Koro-sensei gave a husky laugh. "All to get your test scores up! If that happens..." His eyes sparkled.

A fantasy showed all of E Class smiling and lovingly running towards Koro-sensei.

"Koro-sensei, I got a good score—thanks to you!" they would praise.

The students would gaze up at him with respect.

"I can't live without your classes, Koro-sensei!" Isogai would gush. "I could never kill you!"

The local big-chested college students who've heard how good he is would swoon over him.

"Oh, sir, help us study too!" they would say.

Koro-sensei's face was bright pink, lost in his fantasy world. "...And with no fear of being killed. I'll be rolling in good fortune!"

The class stared at him blankly.

The kids from the screen shared the very same looks with their parents who is currently watching. Unable to speak because of the reason that Korosensei just revealed.

"Uh..."

They all shared unsure looks.

Mimura smiled apprehensively. "The whole studying part is fine and all..."

"But, if we assassinate him, we get 10 billion yen," Toka said, smiling.

Mr and Mrs. Yada narrowed their gazes.

Rio smirked, stretching. "And, with 10 billion yen, you don't need good grades to live a good life!"

The Nakamura's has the same reaction with the Yada's. Obvious that they did not like what their daughter just said.

Koro-sensei was appalled. "I-is that what you think!?"

Okajima smiled stiffly. "We're in End Class, Koro-sensei."

"Assassination is way more accessible to us than any exam," Mimura said.

Mr. Kanzaki snorted, "Now you see? That whole assassination thing just made them even more lazier!" he said to the other parents who cannot believe what the kids just said in the screen. However, Mr. Kurahashi has a different reaction from it.

It did not go unnoticed, "Have something to say?" Mrs. Fuwa asked the woman who got startled and saw that their eyes is on her.

"Oh... uhm... it's just that. I kind of understand why the kids chose assassination than their education." Mr. Kanzaki raised an eyebrow while the others listened at the orange-haired woman, "We saw how their class are being discriminated by their own system. If I were on my daughter's shoes, I might as well choose the road that I think suits me better than continue on embarking a thorny one." she added.

Mrs. Maehara fully understands her point.

"However, assassination is not really a good profession to pursue." she said.

Mrs. Kurahashi knows it very well. She did not try to argue and decided to remain silent as they continue watching.

Koro-sensei stared at them with a blank grin. "Ah. I see how it is..." He lowered his head.

The class were taken aback. "How what is?" Mimura asked, frowning.

Koro-sensei rose up off from the floor, his face clouded by dark shadows. "You still don't have what it takes to be assassins." His face was a dark purple with a large X on it. "Out into the schoolyard, all of you!"

"Even the octopus is not agreeing with their mindset." said Mr. Muramatsu seeing how furious Korosensei is.

While Mr. Okajima and Mr. Maehara is starting to get envious in that ten billion yen.

"If the money was supposed to go to the person or group who killed that octoblob. Does that mean that the kids is not the one who completed the mission?" Everyone turns their head to Mrs. Isogai who spoke what is on her mind. She noticed the sudden attention and continues, "I mean– I can't remember my son having a big amount of money after the whole fiasco."

This makes sense. Everyone thought the same and the screen was paused as Ritsu appeared in the screen. The attention now turns to her.

"I did not expect for you to have this suspicion this early. But do you all want a little spoiler before we continue?" She asked. Most of them agreed, curious on what happened to the offered money.

No one answered bur eagerness and curiousity is visible in their faces. Ritsu interpreted it as a yes.

"They indeed finished their mission and the money was given to the whole Class E." Gasp filled the room.

"They got that ten billion?!" Mr. Maehara exclaimed while Mr. Sugaya, Mr. Okajima and Mr. Muramatsu gaped in shock. Ritsu nod her head that earned more similar reactions from the others.

"How come we did not know anything about the money? Even if it is divided for the whole class. The amount is still large enough for us to notice?" Mrs. Hiromi asked.

"I apologize but I couldn't tell you any further. Just be reassured that the class E fulfilled their one year mission." That is all that she said and dissapeared in the screen as the video continues.

Later on, the whole class was stood on the steps overlooking the playing field.

"What's the big idea, sendin' us all out into the yard like this?" Hiroto complained.

"Who knows? A bad mood came over him all of a sudden," Fuwa whispered.

Koro-sensei stood in the centre of the field.

"One good thing about the E Class system is it's built-in a remedial process," Koro-sensei addressed them all sombrely.

The scene flashed to show blank silhouettes of students with their rankings shown above their heads.

"By scoring in the top 50 of 186 students on periodic exams..." A single student was singled out in red when their rank fell to 48. "...and receiving permissions from their former teacher to return." There were diagrams of students from the different classes being given the OK from their teachers. "They can leave this outcast E Class." A student jumped for joy.

The statement earns approval from the some of the parents, mainly Mr. Kanzaki who hates to admit but the octopus has a point.

"However..." Koro-sensei continued. The dank hallway of the old campus was shown. "It's too difficult to meet these conditions given their poor grades in this inferior academic environment." Some students from above were shown reaching to the E Class students at the bottom. "Most E Class students, being made to feel remediation is too far out of reach."

Koro-sensei pushed a table onto the field. "Being made to face intense discrimination."

Mrs. Kurahashi shrinked on her seat. Feeling pity for the kids who is now inside of the capsules.

Bitch-sensei came out with Kataoka at her heel. "What do you mean, hurry up?" she whined.

"Koro-sensei asked us to bring you," Kataoka replied, hurrying over to her classmates.

Koro-sensei didn't lift his eyes from the table he was pushing. "Ms Irina, let me ask you something as a professional assassin."

"Huh?" She raised an eyebrow. "What is all of this?"

Koro-sensei didn't look up. "When you're on a job, do you have one single plan prepared?"

"Hm? No," she replied. "It's not often that my main plan goes as expected." A flashback showed her concealing a large dagger and gun against her chest. "Making more detailed backup plans in preparation for any contingencies..." There was blood spattered on her dress as she hid from the security guards. A new escape route was planned out in her head. "...Is assassination 101."

A cold wind suddenly get pass through the room.

"Is that my imagination or the room had gotten colder?" Mr. Yoshida whispered to Mr. Muramatsu who just shrug smugly.

"And you, Mr Karasuma?" Koro-sensei asked.

"Hm?" Karasuma looked away from Bitch-sensei and over at Koro-sensei.

"When you teach knife skills, is the first strike the only important one?" Koro-sensei walked back to the center of the field.

Karasuma scrutinised him. "The first strike is of the course the most important, but your next move matters too," he replied. "Against a powerful foe, your first blow is likely to be dodged." A slow-motion knife fight reiterated his point. "So the precision with which you can land your second and third blows can decide the fight."

Most of the class soon realized what Koro-sensei was trying to get across.

The same realization filled the faces of the parents. This made Mrs. Akabane and Nakamura smirked.

"Look, what are you getting at?" Hiroto asked nervously.

Koro-sensei swirled around, his robes billowing behind him. "As your teachers have said..." He started spinning around fast. "Having a trustee second step is what makes for a confident assassin." He got faster and faster. "But what about you?" The class were stunned into silence. "We've got assassination, and that's enough, you think," he quoted back to them. "...and down go your academic goals!"

He turned into a hurricane. "You're just trying not to face the reason for your inferiority complex!"

"AH!"

A giant cloud of dust blinded the students.

"SHIT!" most of them exclaimed and gaped in shock, seeing how the octoblob creature suddenly turned into a big hirricane in just a snap.

"Are the kids alright?!" Mrs. Kataoka asked full of worry for the wellbeing of the students.

"What if I got away from this classroom?" he yelled over the massive wind. "If another killer managed to do me in?!" The wind grew fiercer. "Without the assassination you rely on, all you're left with is good ol' E Class inferiority!" He was a blur of motion.

"I get what he is trying to point out." The redhead Mrs. Akabane said, "Assassination may be their highest skill for now. But after they assassinated this creature. They will feel empty and go back to their first mindset." She added and that earned agreements from the others.

"A word of advice from me to you, as you walk that fine line: Those who can't wield the second blade aren't qualified to be assassins!"

The force of Koro-sensei's hurricane ripped the leaves from the trees and rocks from the ground.

The hurricane could even be seen from the Main Campus building.

"What the—?!" a student shouted, gazing up at the storm.

"There's a huge tornado on E Class's mountain!" Yanagi yelled, pointing up at the sky.

"Shouldn't they call someone for that? Like 911?" asked Mr. Kimura and his wife just taps his shoulder, "Let's not talk about reality here dear." she said and that made the man shut up and continue on watching.

The Principal who was in the centre of the crowd cast a dismissive side-along glance at the storm in the sky. (Show-off.)

Back at the mountain, the wind started to calm as the sun peaked out from the clouds. When the sun hit the students' faces, they cautiously look up when the dust had settled.

"The yard was very uneven and full of weeds. I tidied it up," Koro-sensei said lightly.

The yard was now a fully paved sports area with a lane for running and a soccer goal.

Their jaws dropped on the screen.

"Should I be surprised?" Mrs. Akabane asked while smirking, clearly amused on Korosensei's way of life teaching.

Mrs. Okano grunted, "I am in this part where I am starting to forget the fact that he is going to blow up the Earth. But here he is rubbing it in my face." This statement made Mrs. Maehara laughed.

"If I can't blow it why don't I flatten it?" She impersonated Korosensei and burst into laughter.

"I am a super creature capable of wiping out the Earth." Koro-sensei's eyes glowed red. "Flattening out the area here is a piece of cake." The students just looked on in awe. "If you can't show me that trusty second blade..." At the back, Karma was scratching his head. "...I'll know there's no assassin in this classroom worth taking you on." The other teachers watched on. "And, I'll flatten this entire campus before I go."

"I doubt he will do that." said Mrs. Akabane.

"How can you be so sure? He just flatten out the whole field!" Mrs. Sugaya asked.

Mrs. Akabane answered, "Yes, he did. But you could see how he carefully flatten it without endangering any students. He is just showing a life lesson using intimidation." The woman wasn't able to reply and decided to pay attention to the screen.

"A second blade? When?" Nagisa exclaimed.

"Tomorrow of course."

"HUH?"

The students reeled back in surprise.

Koro-sensei pointed at them. "I want all of you in the top 50 after tomorrow's midterms!" The number 50 appeared on his forehead.

"WHAT!?"

This condition surprised the whole room. But they couldn't help but to wish that they could do it.

"I can't remember Rinka being in Top 50 during midterms..." Mrs. Hayami whispered to herself but did not notice that she said it out loud. This made the others try to remember the day of the midterms and some of them realized the outcome of this condition.

Koro-sensei raised his arms. "I've already been developing your second blades," he told them proudly. "I don't use the doltish teaching methods they do at the Main Campus." He pointed at them again. "Wield those blades with all confidence!"

He had the students under his full attention. "Succeed in your mission and hold your heads up high, smiling, and unashamed! You are proud assassins—and proud members of the E Class."

"At least he is motivating the kids to aim the only way to make them go back to the main campus." Mr. Muramatsu said.

"Um..."

The whole class looked unsure.

Nagisa's mouth thinned gravely. (Then...it was midterm time.)

Later on, Kensaku was overseeing the exam, while he smugly tapped his finger against the desk.

This action made Mrs. Isogai frown on the screen. This action of his is not appropriate for being a proctor. He is just pressuring the students, not reassuring them. 

The whole of E Class was biting their pencils anxiously while they tried to get through the exam. It was first period Math.

Mr. Maehara grimaced, "A Math in the first period? They got it hard." he only said with an obvious sympathy for the kids. 

The tapping seemed to get louder.

Nagisa stared down at his test sadly. (All students took these exams at the main campus.) His test was blank save for the questions. (Which means it was only an away game for us E Class students.)

The test abruptly transformed into a violent monster.

Mrs. Hazama along with Mrs. Hiromi flinched at the sudden appearance of a monster on the screen. 

"AH!" Nagisa dodged the attack, suddenly transformed into the world of monster tests.

The rest of E Class screamed and ran as the purple monster rampaged through the world of numbers and calculations.

"One knife isn't enough to kill it! What's this question 4?!" Sugino shouted, holding his knife with a trembling hand.

The monster's mouth was like a crocodile, with giant teeth, ready to swallow them whole.

E Class ran for their lives.

Mrs. Kurahashi put her palms altogether, praying for their success despite the fact that all of these already happened. But it makes her feel better. 

Nagisa looked up at the circling monster. (I was well aware...) He picked up the discarded knife, while in the real world he lifted his pencil. (That our school exams are the pits.)

The exam was a mess of words and complicated questions. (Oh, no...I don't know where to begin. If this keeps up, this question...) The monster's yellow eye blinked into existence again and roared. (...Will do to me!)

"This graphics is getting disturbing." Mr. Hazama commented seeing how his wife is getting frightened by the graphics. 

"I apologize for that. But I have no control on how the graphics will be shows as it came directly from how the whole Class E views everything. I don't know how much disturbing it will be but I apologize beforehand. If ever someone feel vomiting. I also prepared some medicine behind beside the water station. The restroom is also open. I sincerely apologize for this."

"Just how disturbing it will be for some of us might feel nauseous?" Mrs. Maehara asked but Ritsu did not answer that made her scoff. While Mr. Hazama head towards the medicine cabinet that he saw beside the beverages and grab a few and two more water bottles and he head back to his seat beside his trembling wife who immediately link her arms to her husband.

Koro-sensei gazed up at the sky, waiting on the hill. He dodged a knife that was thrown at his back.

"Seriously?" Bitch-sensei scowled, placing her hands on her hips. "You'll really leave if they don't all make the top fifty?"

"Yes," Koro-sensei replied.

"No way in hell!" Her scowl deepened. "They've had the worst grades until just recently!"

"Wow, what a way to encourage them huh." Mrs. Nakamura mumbled that made her snort.

"I wonder..." Koro-sensei used a napkin to pick up the green knife off the ground. "I don't know about their past, but they're my students now." He examined the knife. "When you're in a tight spot, protect yourself." The butterfly landed on the tip of the knife. "That's the weapon I've given them."

Back in the exam room Nagisa mentally felt Koro-sensei's tentacle wrap around his wrist.

Mrs. Hiromi narrowed her eyes.

"A tentacle? What is it doing in there?" She asked but no one really manage to give her an answer since they all have the same question.

"Huh?" Nagisa looked down.

"I'm sure I taught you this," Koro-sensei's voices sounded clear but at the same time far away. "That's no mystery monster." He pointed the knife at the beast.

"Start by observing that fin carefully." The fin was shown with number radiating from it. "See? On closer inspection, it's just a fin." The monster was shown calmer. "Look carefully at each part of the question one by one." A faded fish was shown beneath the monster. "Then string them all together to see the whole." The fish was shown docile and severed up on a chopping board. "See? What a trivial adversary!"

"Hmm, his teaching methods is rather impressive." Mr. Takebayashi remarked, acknowledging the teaching skills of Korosensei.

Mr. Okuda and Mr. Shiota has the same comment about Korosensei's teaching skills who seems to be perfect for the whole class.

Nagisa grinned when it all clicked together

"Now use your blade to cook it up!" Koro-sensei encouraged him.

(I got it.) Nagisa gently cut into the fin.

Back in the real world, Kensaku's eyes widened when he noticed the sudden shift in the atmosphere. "Huh?"

The E Class students were less tense and were writing down the answers to the questions.

"Oh, yeah!" Mrs. Kurahashi, Mrs. Yada and Mrs. Fuwa high-fived and cheered for the Class E.

Mrs. Nakamura and Mrs. Akabane smirked while Mrs. Maehara headlocks her husband from excitement.

"H-help me!" Mr. Maehara tried asking for help from Mr. Okajima and Mr. Mimura but they avoided his cry, "What a friend are a both of you?!" He exclaimed almost crying because of the painful headlock that came from his wife's excitement.

(The trick is working out the important parts of the question.) Nagisa smiled happily. (It's all just like how Koro-sensei taught us."

Kensaku looked around in distress as the class wrote down their answers confidently.

(This question...) The monster was shown defeated with all of E class standing on top triumphantly. (..Is dead meat.)

"YES!" the women wildly cheered which contains Mrs. Kurahashi, Mrs. Yada, Mrs. Fuwa, Mrs. Nakamura, Mrs. Maehara and Mrs. Akabane while Mrs. Hiromi smiled and claps her hand. The fathers did not loudly express their cheering but it is evident in their eyes and smiles towards the screen and some of them steal some glances from the capsule where the Class E are and sending proud looks.

Yoshida sliced another monster's throat.

(And, the next one!)

Rinka stabbed another question in the ribs.

(And, the one after that!)

Nagisa grinned with bright eyes. (And—!)

They were suddenly struck from behind by a question they hadn't anticipated.

It was blood red and left a sea of chaos in its wake.

The cheers subsided.

Nagisa's smile fell. (Ugh!)

With only Nagisa and Karma left standing, a demonic question materialized'Question 11.'

Mrs. Hiromi and Mrs. Akabane both look intently on the screen. While Mr. Akabane and Mr. Shiota could hear their own heartbeat because of nervousness for their sons.

It reached out with a giant hand and everything went black.

(And, then an unseen question beat us to death from behind...) 

The shadows revealed the principal sitting at his desk with a calculated smile on his face.

"What's the meaning of this!?" Karasuma sounded appalled and was talking on the phone. "I felt the test was markedly lacking in fairness."

Mrs. Nakamura grip her empty water bottle tighfly while Mrs. Maehara couldn't help it but ti grit her teeth trying to calm herself and launch towards the screen to give this principal a beating he won't forget.

"Oh, that's strange, you should have been notified," The teacher on the other end replied dismissively.

Nagisa looked at his score in disappointment. 'Total score 315. Ranked 105th out of 185.'

The others in the class were upset as well.

Isogai ranked. 'Total score 367. Ranked 68th out of 186.'

"Maybe some kind of communication slip up your end?" the teacher suggested.

Terasaka acted like he didn't care, chewing some bubble gum. 'Total score: 230. Ranked 159th out of 186.'

Mrs. Terasaka just sigh seeing how her son acted like saying this is how it always been for them.

"I mean, you're not coming to the main campus either way." The teacher sounded amused and laughed.

"I can't say there was," Karasuma kept calm. "And, regardless, this is highly unusual. Two days before the exams and you broaden the scope to cover all subjects?" he started to get more irritated.

"They did that on purpose!" Mrs. Fuwa yelled across the screen.

Bitch-sensei sighed from her seat in the Staff room while an upset Koro-sensei faced the wall.

"You don't seem to understand, uh, Mr Karasuma?" the teacher replied less friendly. "This is a Prep school." The man was smiling on the other end. "Testing students on last-minute cramming is part of our policies." The scene changed to show the Principal teaching. "Why, the main campus students had the Principal himself take the stage and give a splendid lecture on the changes!"

Karasuma's eyes narrowed. (Is there nothing that man won't do in the name of his own doctrine?) He ended the call. (They've put us in a fine spot.) He glanced over at Koro-sensei. (If he leaves E Class, we lose everything.)

"Yeah, instead of thinking about that octoblob. Why don't he check if his students are alright. Tsk."

Back in the classroom, everyone was silent, and the whole room was dim.

"I take all responsibility," Koro-sensei said, subdued. "I seem to have underestimated the system at this school," he continued, his voice strained. "I can't bear to face you..."

A knife nearly stabbed him in the back of the head.

"AH!" Koro-sensei barely dodged.

The knife hit the board and fell to the ground.

"You sure?" Karma spoke up cockily.

Mrs. Akabane raised an eyebrow with a curious gaze towards her son. Karma has an undeniable intelligence. Did he manage to answer the exams despite of the sudden broadening of questions? She asked herself.

"Huh?" Koro-sensei looked over.

Karma walked towards him with his tens results in hand. "If you can't face us, you can't see us coming to kill you." He smirked.

Koro-sensei was red-faced. "Karma! I'm very depressed right now, and—!"

Karma tossed his result on the desk, halting the teacher's outburst.

"Oh!" Koro-sensei nearly choked.

Karma had gotten nearly 100% out of all of his tests.

'Ranked 4th in Year 3.'

Everyone inside of the room except for the Akabane couple drop their jaws in surprised and shock.

"R-rank 4th?—"

"In the whole third years?!"

"How the hell is he in the Class E?!" Mr. Okajima, Mr. Mimura and Mr. Maehara exclaimed at the same time.

Mrs. Akabane laughs and did not give them an answer that is why Mr. Akabane answered it for them.

"It circles about his sadistic attitude. He don't really respects all of the grown-ups. He will respect who he thinks deserve it and that made him go down to the Class E." he said.

"Just like what I said earlier. My Karma has the brains. But his attitude is something that will make you forget it." Mrs. Akabane added.

They all have seen the sadistic and psychoatic side of the red-head offspring. But it did not really occur to them to believe that he has the brains that could fight against the famous Big 5 of the Main Campus.

"Changing the questions didn't matter to me," Karma said brightly.

"What?!"

The whole class gathered around to see the results.

"Whoa!" Sugino exclaimed.

"100 in math, no way!" Isogai gasped.

"With my grades, you taught more than you had to," Karma said, recalling Koro-sensei's frantic teaching.

"Just a little further! A tiny bit! Just a little more!" Koro-sensei had encouraged him.

"So I could handle the questions even if they'd changed their scope." Karma smiled crookedly.

"That kid is a monster." Mr. Terasaka said still in shock. This remark just made the Akabanes laugh. 

"You're really great at this, Karma!" Koro-sensei had praised.

"...Still, I won't be leaving," Karma added shrugging.

"Assassination is way more fun than going back to my old class."

Mrs. Isogai scratch the back of her head, "I don't think that is the way it is."

Mrs. Maehara just shrug, "I gotta admit that this whole assassination facade is interesting and fun despite the whole meaning of it." she said with an excited smile.

Koro-sensei stared down at the test results. "So what's the plan? You gonna use out not all making it into the top 50 as an excuse to turn tail and run?" Karma taunted, grinning as he held up a knife. "You're just afraid of being killed, that's all!"

A vein popped at the back of Koro-sensei's head.

"Is he taunting him again?"

Mrs. Mimura giggled.

"Seems like it." Mr. Yoshida said.

"Huh?" Nagisa's eyes widened briefly, but then he smiled fondly.

The other students exchanged amused glances with each other, catching on to what Karma was doing.

Kataoka nudged Hiroto who grinned. "Oh, is that it?" He stretched casually. "You were afraid?"

"You should have just told us!" Kataoka smiled.

"Right! Like 'I'm scared and want to run away!'" Sugino teased.

Another vein pulsed on Koro-sensei's face until his whole body was bright red.

"I am not running away!" he yelled, waving his tentacles.

Mrs. Akabane smirked, "Oh, they got him."

"Oh? Then what?" Karma asked innocently.

Koro-sensei's anger faded as his smile returned back to normal. "We'll get revenge on them twofold in the end of term exams!"

The students burst out laughing.

"This is no laughing matter!" Koro-sensei shouted. "Honestly!"

Nagisa was laughing harder. (We ran smack into a wall there with our midterm exams.)

"Aren't you thoroughly disappointed?!" Koro-sensei exclaimed.

(A big thick wall surrounding the E Class.)

Karma turned around and stuck his tongue out at Bitch-sensei and Karasuma who were watching from the crack in the door.

"Ready, now, after me: fight!" Koro-sensei chanted.

(But inside, I was proud.)

"Fight!" the class chorused.

When the video finished and the screen turned into black. The smiles on their faces is still present.

"In the end, they just laugh it off huh?" Mrs. Nakamura said slightly giggling.

"I like their spirit." Mrs. Kimura said.

"But does this mean that despite of all the hardwork that the kids will do. The Principal won't allow them to go out from the Class E?" this question from Mrs. Kurahashi stops the happiness that filled the room. A dark presence coming from Mrs. Akabane and Mrs. Nakamura replaced it.

"I can't believe I did not saw through this." Mrs. Nakamura said between her breath.

"I swear that Principal will receive much more of this tenfold." said Mrs. Akabane.

Ritsu appeared from the screen and the attention turns to her.

"I am delightened that all of you is starting to open your eyes on what is happening inside of the  school's walls. I hope that after this whole viewing. You will give the whole Class E an amount of support." She said, "Shall we head to the next episode?" she continued and they all just nod their heads and prepared themselves for the next episode they are about to view.

"The next episode might be a little disturbing and kind of dangerous but I assure you that the students wellbeing are all safe." and with that warning. Ritsu played the next episode.
