Chapter 1: Class 3-E
Disclaimer: I do not own Assassination Classroom or any of the characters involved except Guardian T. Tsunami and Guardian W. Water
A bright sunny day at the mountainside campus of Kunugigaoka Middle School. Class 3-E was walking toward their classroom with their heads hung low and their spirts dampened. They had received notice their teacher was being replaced and they weren't expecting much from this new teacher. They entered their room and took their seats, waiting for the bell to begin class. After a few minutes the door slid open, but they didn't expect what came through: A large, yellow, tentacled monster wearing a teacher's robe entered the room. He slithered up behind the front desk with an ever present smile on his face.
"Well hello there students," it said happily, its mouth never moving.
"Uh… hello," The class responded.
"I'm going to be your teacher for the next year, isn't it exciting?" he asked.
The class was offput by this, but soon enough a group of men in suits wearing sunglasses entered the room and took up positions on either side of the creature, the last one to enter was a man with black, spiky hair. He stood just to the left of the monster and cleared his throat.
"My name is Karasuma, I'm here on orders from the government to help explain the situation to you all," when everyone remained silent he continued. "As you can see, this creature wants to be your teacher. We're not sure why, or how he came to be, but all we know is that we can't kill him, and his only request was to be your homeroom teacher… and it was either that or-"
"Or I blow up the earth!" The monster interrupted.
The class was stunned at this declaration.
"Yes, so, we agreed to his demands so long as he promised not to harm any of you students, and in the meantime we'll try to find a way to destroy him,"
One student spoke up, a young boy with light blue hair "Excuse me Mr. Karasuma, but I have a question,"
"Yes, go ahead,"
"Why us?"
"We're still trying to figure that out, but, in the meantime, to help expose any potential weaknesses this thing has, we'll be asking you to try and kill him,"
The class was surprised at this announcement.
"Us? Kill him? Even the freakin' government couldn't do it, what makes you think a bunch of drop out losers could?" A broad-shouldered young man with brown and yellow hair in the back asked.
The atmosphere of the room dropped after he finished, the class silently agreed with him.
"Actually we thought of that," Karasuma said as he nodded toward the door.
The door slid open once again and a young woman entered. She was wearing the gray uniform of the Kunugigaoka school, she had dark blue eyes and matching hair that came down to mid back. She looked over the class before lowering her head. Behind her came a woman wearing a suit similar to the government officials who looked to be an older version of her.
"Hello class 3-E, allow me to thank you for taking in my apprentice at this crucial point in her training," She told them.
The kids murmured amongst themselves as she finished asking questions like "Apprentice?" and "Training?"
"Excuse me ma'am," The same student who'd raised his hand before was standing again.
"Yes?"
"What do you mean by Apprentice and Training?" He asked.
She smiled, "Those are topics best answered by the one they relate to most," She gave a pat on the back of the young woman who opened her mouth to say something, but seemed to regret the decision as she closed it and continue to stare at the floor. The woman sighed.
"Don't worry ma'am, I'm sure your apprentice will be up to snuff in no time," The monster told her.
"I trust you to keep your words on that, otherwise you'll have to answer to my superiors,"
The monster seemed a little phazed at that, but he quickly recovered.
"Well, if there's nothing else that needs to be addressed, I would like to take roll and get started," he lifted up an attendance book.
"No, nothing more from me. Do any of you kids have questions?" Karasuma asked them.
The room remained quiet, "Sounds like that's it then," he turned to the monster.
The blue haired woman cleared her throat and produced a green colored rubber knife from her jacket. "Shouldn't we mention these?"
"Oh, right, thank you," Karasuma took the knife by the blade and turned to the class. "This thing's genetic makeup is different from us humans, and through some testing we've been able to discover that normal blades and bullets don't work, as such, the government has developed a new material specifically designed to harm this creature,"
"How do we know those things even work?" The same boy who'd asked 'why them' earlier spoke up again.
"Allow me to demonstrate, Mr. Karasuma," The monster looked down at the government worker who nodded and quickly sliced him with the blade, however the monster had moved so he only lost the tip of a tentacle, it was so fast the class didn't even register the movement until the gust of wind hit them like a wave.
"As you can see class, the blade is able to remove my tentacles, does that provide enough evidence of its functionality?"
The class was silent as they stared in awe at the writhing piece of yellow tentacle.
"I wish you all luck in your endeavor, and if you ever need anything the government will try to provide it to you," Karasuma bent from the waist with the rest of the workers and the blue haired woman.
"Good luck," She smiled to her apprentice who nodded and took her seat.
The class then began as a bell chimed through the building.
"Hello again class, with that formality out of the way, I think it's time to begin our Assassination Classroom!"
