A/N: Hello all! I actually revised the story just a bit as I felt that the OC character Satomi wasn't really coming out. So hopefully, you guys would enjoy this version much better. And for new readers, hi there :). I really hope you enjoy the story. The title and summary may seem a bit cliché to you, but I promise that it is a whole lot different from the simple girl joins class 3E and saves the day kind of story (at least I hope that it comes out like that). Alright so without further ado, here's the story!
Satomi POV:
"You understand that you are not allowed to leak anything that happens in this class to anyone outside the military and your class. Doing so will be considered a breach of confidentiality and you will be prosecuted. Is that clear?" The stoic man in front of her reiterated, handing over a pen. Karasuma-sensei, that's what he told her to call him.
"Yes, I understand completely." She nodded her head curtly, taking the pen to sign. She had understood the gravity of the matter since her transfer papers were signed. Her father had made sure of that.
"Alright, I will take you to your class then." Karasuma-sensei took back the document, and motioned for her to follow him. She stood up, bowing to Chairman Asano and the burly man sitting beside him, both of whom gave her a curt nod back. She turned around and followed Karasuma-sensei out the door, eyes determined.
Chairman Asano chuckled once he heard the door click, "I hope you know what you are doing my dear brother-in-law. Satomi-chan will not have an easy time in class 3E, they are after all the victims of humiliation in this school. Considering the reason for her transfer, do you think it is wise?"
The large man beside him leaned back into the sofa, commenting nonchalantly, "She's a strong girl, and that Karma boy would be with her. And of course, she would be a valuable asset to the assassination."
"As well as a perfect spy for you in the assassination classroom."
The large man smirked in reply, "That is merely one in many reasons."
"Well I do hope your faith in Satomi-chan is not misplaced. The students can be particularly vicious, and I doubt my sister would be pleased with a relapse." Chairman Asano commented mildly. Slight doubt clouded the large man's features before he covered it up with a snarky comment, "And I suppose it is a result of your wonderful education system?"
The chairman merely stood up and laughed off the sarcastic comment, "It has churned out many strong students no? Only the strong will survive while the weak will be preyed upon. That is the way of life. Better to teach them now, than later."
His companion shook his head, "One day it will all come back and bite you. But I have not come to dispute with you about education theories." Standing up, he offered Chairman Asano a handshake, "We would like to thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the security of this nation. We look forward to your continued cooperation with the Ministry of Defence in this endeavour."
Chairman Asano smirked in response, reverting back to formalities, "I look forward to cooperating with your ministry, Tanaka-san."
"Ok class, guns away please. Turn to 195 of your textbooks." Korosensei announced as he finished taking attendance.
Collective groans could be heard throughout the class at yet another failed assassination attempt. Shuffling could be heard as students retrieved their books and put away their BB guns, getting ready for the first lesson of the day.
The creaking of the door could be heard as Karasuma-sensei opened the door to the classroom. "I have the new transfer student with me," he announced curtly.
Karasuma-sensei stepped aside to reveal a petite girl in the prescribed Kunugigaoko school uniform, her brown hair neatly french braided such that it ended on her left shoulder. Her face was framed by two strands of fringe that was too short to be tied up, giving her an innocent look.
"Wonderful, why don't you introduce yourself to the class?" Korosensei greeted warmly.
Bowing to Korosensei, she replied in a sweet voice, "Thank you Korosensei!" Gracefully, she walked to the front of the class, before bowing again to the rest of the students, "Nice to meet you! My name is Tanaka Satomi! I am a transfer student and will be joining your class from today! Please take care of me!"
Megu stood up and smiled at the new girl, "And nice to meet you Tanaka-san. My name is Katoka Megu and I am the female representative of this class. The male representative is Isogai-kun," gesturing to a boy who had also stood up and was currently smiling at her. "On behalf of the class, we welcome you to class 3E."
Satomi smiled gratefully towards Megu and Isogai before bowing again, "Thank you! And please, call me Satomi."
At this point, Terasaka snorted, causing the whole class to look at him curiously. Placing his legs onto his desk, he scoffed, "Looks like the new girl here is just another princess. You sure you can handle assassinations princess, or do you need to run back to your daddy?"
"Terasaka-kun, that was rude!" scolded the Mach-20 octopus. "Apologise now!"
Doubt crept into her mind. Did she really think she was up to the challenge? She was weak… No, she had already promised her father she would give this a try, she couldn't break her promise by backing out before this all started. Schooling her features into a brave smile, she replied, "It's ok, Korosensei. It's true that I'm weak now. But I don't plan to stay that way for long."
Calmly, she directed her gaze towards Terasaka, looking directly into his skeptical eyes, determination sparkling in her own brown ones, "I'll become a princess that can kick your ass."
"And so, please teach me all that you know!" She completed chirpily, bowing once more to the rest of the class.
The class did not look like they had picked up on her momentary doubt, and if they did, they gave absolute no indication of it. Instead, they looked impressed by her response, allowing her to sigh in relief. She made a good impression, it seems. Hopefully this year will go better than the last.
Satomi scanned her class thoughtfully. Korosensei had put her at the back of the class, next to Terasaka, allowing her a great vantage point from which she could survey the class, taking stock of her new classmates.
If she was being honest, she was a bit apprehensive on whether she would be able to fit in with this new class. After all, from the few hours of lessons she had so far, she pretty much gathered that this class was extremely diverse, in terms of personality and interests. Terasaka, the boy sitting next to her, was the classic bully, loves to pick on others, uses brute force, and doesn't really like using his brain. The girl in front of her, Kirara, enjoyed scaring others. Satomi nearly jumped out of her skin when Kirara had turned around and projected her dark and gloomy aura at her, smiling creepily, "So you are the new girl. I would say glad to meet you but the ghosts of 3E might curse you instead."
She had responded with a weak smile, while trying to get her racing heart under control. And that was only two of them. From what she gathered, there were many interesting personalities in the classroom. They ranged from the shy bespectacled girl in the row in front of her who was extremely interested in Chemistry, to the loud but playboy Maehara sitting next to the female representative Megu. With so many different personalities, she just hoped she would not offend anyone by accident in the course of this year.
Finally, it was time for lunch break, and the students started chatting happily while taking out their lunches. At this point, she was quickly approached by girl with long blonde hair, who quickly introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Rio Nakamura. Please just call me Rio."
Satomi smiled at the girl, relieved that she was being warmly welcomed to the class. "Hello, Rio-san. Nice to meet you."
Next thing she knew, she was being pounced upon by another bubbly girl, this time one with pigtails, who dragged a blue-haired boy with a similar hairstyle along with her. "We are so glad to have you, Satomi-chan! Can I call you that? My name is Kayano Kaede and this is Nagisa-kun!" Nagisa gave her a warm smile and wave, trying to calm down his enthusiastic friend.
"Ok, ease off girls, don't scare the poor girl on her first day." Megu intervened. Giving Satomi an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry about that, we tend to be a more excitable bunch. So Satomi-san, tell us some more about yourself."
"It's ok! I'm also easily excitable, so I guess I will fit right in!" She laughed. "Hm… what do you want to know about me?"
Just then, Maehara slid into the empty seat beside her. "How about your relationship status?" He asked playfully. "Because if you are single I don't mind changing that for you."
Megu smacked the back of his head in annoyance, "Stop flirting! Ignore him, Satomi-san."
Isogai sighed as he walked over, seeing the antics of his best friend, "Yes, just ignore Maehara, maybe you would like to start to where you transferred from?"
Satomi laughed in response, "I came from a girls' school in Kyoto. My dad transferred there when I was in fifth grade and recently got transferred back. Hence, my transfer here!"
"Ooh, why not the main campus though?" The bespectacled girl had wandered over, joining the crowd. "I'm Okuda Manami, by the way."
"Nice to meet you Okuda-san. My father requested for Class 3E, something about building character and all." She fibbed, "I don't actually understand what's going on in my dad's head most of the time so I just go along with it." She shrugged with feigned ignorance over the whole matter.
Her new friends looked skeptical but they didn't push, much to her relief. "So what are your interests?" Kayano asked, changing the subject.
"Uh, I guess I love to read…"
"You like to read?" Kirara interjected, turning around suddenly.
Satomi, slightly taken aback from the suddenness, replied, "Yeah, I do?"
"Have you read the Count of Monte Cristo?" She asked excitedly.
"Yes! Not many people have read that book though! But it's so good, better than the stupid young adult trash they put out nowadays!" Satomi replied with enthusiasm. Finally someone who shared her love for books.
"Ugh, I understand completely. Give me a good horror book any day, over that sappiness and romance." Kirara proclaimed.
"I don't usually read horror books, but anything is better literature than the romance novels meant to satisfy young horny girls without a life! Please tell me you have read Of Mice and Men then? The Book Thief? Brave New World?"
The rest of the class looked in surprise as the new girl started ranting about young adult literature as well as discuss rather animatedly about certain titles with their resident occult-obsessed witch. While she may seem reserved and polite, the moment it was on a topic of her interests, all her barriers went down and she was extremely enthusiastic.
"What's so good about books? Such a bunch of nerds!" Terasaka scoffed from beside them.
"Shut up, Terasaka!" The two girls immediately glared at him, causing him to raise his arms up instinctively in defence. The class watched on amused, as the two bookworms promptly ignored the thick-headed boy to continue their own conversation.
Maehara sighed dreamily, "Smart and cute, think I have a chance?"
Isogai rolled his eyes at that comment, while the rest of the girls merely sighed. Unfortunately for Maehara, Satomi heard that comment as well, deciding to reply with a mischievous smirk, "Thanks for the compliment, Maehara-kun, but I would have to say your chances are pretty much zero. I have a boyfriend already."
The reaction was immediate. Her new classmates eyebrows immediately shot up, "What? Spill!" Rio immediately was on her, ignoring the glare that Kirara was now giving her for stealing her conversation partner.
Satomi laughed and winked mischievously, "Spill what?"
Rio's face immediately became pure evil as she inched closer, "Perhaps whether he is hot? Or a good kisser? Or even better, good in bed?"
Shit, her plan obviously backfired. She turned as red as a tomato, much to the amusement of her new classmates. "That's not appropriate, Rio-san!"
Laughter filled the rest of the class as Rio relentlessly hounded her for information. There was no doubt that she would fit in just perfectly with the rest of class 3E.
