A/N: Hello once again! Summer's just around the corner, so when's a better time to start yet another fanfic? For those who read my other fanfics: I know I'm terrible, but I promise I'm working on all of my other stories, so slowly but surely they'll all being updated. I just had this idea for a while now, ever since I finished watching Assassination Classroom, and I really wanted to see how it would turn out.
I'll be making this as a humor story, though the prologue will be more or less serious, I just need to get everything into place before I start the good stuff, ya know :P
Now, though, I ask of you all: please tell me if this is worth continuing. I have pretty much though out the plot-line, but if this doesn't seem interesting to anyone, I guess there's no point in continuing, right? Anyway, I'll wait for your answers and opinions! ^-^
~Prologue~
Kuroko laid on his bed, silently staring into his dark-colored ceiling that was now wrapped with the darkness of the late evening and trying to comprehend what his mother had told him not too long ago. It was quite difficult to fully understand the situation and the teal-head had a hard time sorting out his feelings, especially if he was happy about it or not. He had no saying in this though, so it didn't really matter at the end. All Kuroko could do was to simply accept it.
The fifteen-year-old averted his gaze from his ceiling and directed it towards the illuminated road seen from his window. A lone car passed before everything went silent once again. Kuroko thought about how this certain place won't be his home in a short amount of time for at least two years as his mother told him. There was a change in her workplace it seems, and the option of changing jobs didn't even cross her mind, since this was a rare well-paying work and it would be foolish to quit. Summer break was just about to start and after that it was a new life for him. It won't be long before the doors of a new school will open up for the boy.
Right... Kuroko will have to transfer. That was probably the thing that mostly gave the teal-head conflicted feelings. In complete honesty he hadn't made any significant connections at his current school apart from the basketball team. And that too was slowly but surely being erased. Since after the members of the Generation of Miracles discovered their hidden talents and began blooming, the team hasn't been the same. There was practically no teamwork left, and the final nail to this coffin was set by the change of Akashi. With that the former team crumbled and it was only individual play left. That was what hurt Kuroko the most. He of all people needed proper teamwork in order to use his skills to the fullest, but now, with the current situation, there was no light for that. Thoughts of quitting basketball even began creeping into Kuroko's mind, but that promise he made with his old childhood friend kept him in place. Even so, maybe changing schools won't be such a bad decision afterall... Only time will tell.
Still, the school his mother picked out unnerved Kuroko quite a lot. It wasn't as if his grades were a big problem in his life, but this school supposed to be an elite one. Getting into it isn't an easy task at all. Not to mention in the middle of the school year. But surprisingly enough his mother seemed more confident than one would think. No other parent would honestly suggest their child to join this elite school with Kuroko's grades, they were simply not good enough, but his mother seemed to have faith in him, a bit too much though. All the fifteen-year-old was left with was confusing thoughts, and even they slowly disappeared as the boy fell into a deep slumber.
Unbeknownst to him, a similar situation had unfolded at a certain house not too long ago as well.
Asano Gakuho held his work phone to his ear as he listened to the man on the other line. This was an important call, the man could tell that much from who it was coming from. He hated being disturbed, but he knew he had to make an exception for this particular caller. It was, after all, coming from the government.
''There will be two students joining your school soon and we request to put them both in the class 3-E, no matter how good or bad their tests prove to be. We did research on them and came to a conclusion that it would be in our best interests to make them both part of the assassination operation. They both possess skills that could be beneficial to it. We will send you the information regarding these two students later.'' The man on the other line spoke.
''Understood,'' the principal answered with a serious tone. ''I'll see to it.''
With that the call ended. Not long after Asano Gakuho received the mentioned files and, without wasting too much time, opened them, only to frown a bit at what he got.
The first student, Kuroko Tetsuya, didn't seem special at all at first glance. In fact, it was the complete opposite of that. His grades were average, didn't seem to have any talents and, from what the report said, completely lacked presence, making him seem almost like a phantom. Only known activity he did was basketball. The man didn't understand why the higher-ups decided it would be beneficial for him to be part of the assassination operation, that is, until he read the end. It said that the boy possessed a skill that let him play in the basketball team as a regular, even though he lacked any physical strength. It appears Kuroko Tetsuya had mastered misdirection. If we combined this with his lack of presence, we would get quite the weapon. The principal now seemed to understand why the government chose him.
The second student, Akashi Seijuurou, was a whole other story. From what the report card said, it looked like this boy was the complete opposite of Kuroko. He had skills in practically everything. Intelligence, music, physical abilities and so on. Best and first at everything. The file also said that this student didn't tolerate any contempt towards him. Not to mention he was from a wealthy family. It reminded the principal of his own son, who seemed very much like this Akashi Seijuurou. If he entered this school like any other student, he would surely be put in the A class. But the government requested that he'd be placed in the E class, and the man, as he read further, understood why. This boy's most striking skill was the one he used while playing basketball. It was something called the Emperor Eye. Asano Gakuho had heard about such a thing in the past, but it was rather shocking that a middle school student could be able to possess it. Taken in account all his talents, you could clearly see that he was more than suited for this dangerous task. But this was something that made the principal of Kunugigaoka Junior High School frown. Akashi Seijuurou was an extraordinary student, it was obvious to anyone he should be put in the A class. But if such a boy would go the the E class, where the worst of the worst gathered, it would take a toll on his schooling system. Given the current state of the E class plus this new student, it would be only a matter of time before his perfectly thought-out system crumbled. But he also couldn't simply defy the government. It seemed Asano had no choice but to follow the orders for now. He'll come up with a solution later.
The summer break came and went. In the last few days Kuroko couldn't bring himself to announce his transfer, especially after Akashi had informed all of them that he'll be leaving as well. He said all of that with a straight face, but it was evident in his heterochromatic eyes that he was not pleased with such a decision at all, but he, like Kuroko, probably had no saying in it. The red-head, however, didn't mention the school he was getting transferred to, and Kuroko didn't ask. What was the point? It didn't matter afterall. Though it seemed the teal-head's task of defeating the GoM would be put into action sooner than he thought. Or so he hoped. Kuroko had this plan for awhile now. Originally, we was going to roll into a certain high school and there start his plan, but now it got messed up, so Kuroko could only hope for the best. Though he felt quite disappointed that he didn't manage to change his team back, especially Akashi. When Aomine began distancing away from them, Akashi was the beacon of light to the phantom sixth man, so when he discovered the 'new' Akashi, he felt more or less destroyed on the inside. Kuroko could only wish that someday their former true captain would resurface.
And so, after summer break ended, Kuroko finally stood at the gates of his new school, Kunugigaoka Junior High. To be honest, he couldn't believe he was actually here, this whole situation all seemed too strange for the young boy. His entrance exams weren't good enough to put him in a regular class, but as his mother had announced to him the other day, the school decided to make an exception and give him a chance in the 3-E class. From what the teal-head heard, it was the 'garbage' of this elite school. Kuroko could only assume what discrimination the poor kids have to face. The mere thought of such a thing made Kuroko furious inside. Well, he guessed he'll just have to see for himself.
As Kuroko proceeded further into the main campus, his heart plunged to his feet when he realized where the building of the 3-E class was at. It stood at the top of a rather large mountain, surrounded by a forest. Only by this you could tell that the E class was not taken equally. The tealnet sighed as he started his way up the uneven terrain. Guess even when he left Teiko he'll still have to continue his training. And the E students did this everyday. But even so, this whole climbing had his pluses as well. After some time you should become physically stronger, so that's that.
Even with the training Kuroko did while in Teiko, it didn't help very much in his current task. He was always one of the weakest in his team, so not long after starting his journey the boy had already run out of air. The path was also very rough, you could easily loose your balance and crumble down. With that thought in mind, Kuroko cautiously tried to proceed. Finally, after a lot of stops and a few falling-downs, the teal-had reached the top of the mountain and now could clearly see the building in which his new class will take place. As expected, it looked rather run-down and old, probably in a fatal need of renovation. Somehow Kuroko didn't see that happening in the near future.
As Kuroko was leaning against one of the trees and was trying to catch his breath, he noticed a beautiful blond woman a bit further from him, who seemed rather impatient and was looking around, obviously waiting for something. It could very well be him though, so with that thought Kuroko took another deep breath, put on his poker face and proceeded towards the young beauty, who was obviously a foreigner.
She, like any other human being Kuroko had encountered, didn't seem to notice the teal-head even if he was standing right besides her. The woman continued to wait with impatience evident in her pale face. Left without any other options, Kuroko spoke with his usual tone.
"Hello."
The woman finally noticed the young boy right next to her, and due to the surprise, which Kuroko had anticipated beforehand, leaped backwards and shrieked, accusingly pointing her index finger at the teal-head.
"How long have you been there and how did you manage to sneak up on me?!" she demanded with a shaky tone, though anger was also beginning to be audible in her voice. Obviously she wasn't used to not noticing anyone when they are almost right in front of her. And who is, honestly?
"I didn't sneak up on you, you just didn't notice me walking up to you," Kuroko answered with a rather monotonic tone, since he was used to this.
"How is that... Oh wait," the woman's hostile expression suddenly fell and she began staring with a sort of lost look in her eyes. "Karasuma did mention that the new student has low presence... So I'm taking you're Kuroko Tetsuya?" At this point she had composed herself, but still seemed to hold her guard.
"Yes," the boy nodded in return.
"Well then, nice to meet you. I'm Irina Jelavić, I'll be your English teacher from now on," she introduced herself and began walking towards the school building, beckoning for Kuroko to follow. "Please follow me, we'll explain to you everything you need to know."
Kuroko didn't say anything and just did as told. For some reason this woman became extremely serious as she said that last statement. Everything he needs to know? What is there to know?
"I assume you know that you're not the only transfer student in this class this time around, right?" the blonde suddenly spoke and glanced over her shoulder. Seeing a slightly puzzled look in Kuroko's dull eyes, she proceeded. "I'll take that as a no. Either way, you'll meet with him soon enough. Class hasn't started yet by the way, it'll begin when we're over."
The tealnet only nodded, but remembering that she couldn't see it, added an audible 'Okay'.
Not long after they finally reached the desired place. Kuroko assumed it was the teachers' room. The woman in front of him, his soon-to-be English teacher, opened the wooden door and walked in, letting Kuroko pass afterwards.
"He arrived, Karasuma," the blonde announced to the black-haired male in the room, who had an intimidating aura around him. The said man looked up and searched for a moment with his eyes before they finally landed on Kuroko. His features displayed surprise for a moment, but he was quick to hide it.
The man probably said something, but Kuroko wasn't listening. His eyes were fixed on another place, on a boy that sat next to the window with a rather bored expression on his face and gazed at the scenery that was seen from it, not minding what was going on at the moment. It was a certain redhead that Kuroko knew all too well.
"Akashi...kun?" the so-called phantom breathed out, surprise entering his features, which by itself was certainly not an every day occurrence. What was Akashi doing here?! Could this be the school his former captain transferred to? Even so, it didn't make any sense he'd end up in the E class, which was named as the End class. Everyone knew that Akashi was on top of everything, including grades, so why would he be here?
The said boy finally lifted his gaze from the window and set it on the one who called him. The redhead also seemed taken aback when he realized who it was.
"Tetsuya?" he questioned and stood up, quickly regaining his composure. "I certainly didn't expect to see you here. You didn't even mention you were transferring," Hidden irritation could be heard in the boy's voice by the former phantom. Kuroko inwardly gulped, he knew Akashi hated when something was being hidden from him. But it wasn't as if Akashi himself told them any more about his transfer as well!.. Kuroko mentally shook his head and slowly regained his composure, hiding his sudden surprise beneath a mask.
"I see you two know each other, that's good," the oldest male, whose name had to be Karasuma from what Kuroko understood, finally spoke up. "Although we figured as much, seeing as how you are from the same school and the same basketball team."
Kuroko inwardly winced a bit at he mention of his old team, but tried to keep his poker face on. Akashi seemed unaffected by the man's words, he just continued to stare at his former teammate.
"Alright, now let's get down to business," Karasuma spoke once again and now the two boys' attention was on him. "You two didn't come to this class for no reason. If everything for you went as it should have had, Akashi would have been placed in the A class and Kuroko wouldn't have attended this school at all. But you two were requested to join the 3-E class directly from the government," Kuroko stared puzzled at the man. He couldn't quite comprehend the current situation, and his confusion, even shock only grew when the male in front of him, now known as Karasuma Tadaomi, an agent from Japan's Ministry of Defense, continued to explain everything./
In the end Kuroko assumed he must have been dreaming. Things like this didn't just simply happen. How was he supposed to accept the fact that the class 3-E was actually an assassination classroom, who was tasked with the mission of killing the being who made their moon forever crescent and who was now their teacher. It seemed too much for a regular fifteen-year-old to take in. Akashi, however, didn't seem as fazed as Kuroko, on the contrary, he had a stern expression on his face with crossed arms as he suddenly spoke.
"And what if we refuse?" the redhead voiced his question. Intimidating aura was emitting from the boy and any other person would have shrunken under his commanding voice, but Karasuma didn't seem fazed at all. He was tougher than he looked.
"The bounty for assassinating that being is ten billion yen. We guarantee your utmost safety," the black-haired man answered and with that Kuroko's eyes widened even more. "If you refuse this mission, we'll have to erase your memories of everything that was said here. This operation is a national secret, no one must know about it. You are forbidden of informing anyone of this. However, Akashi's father is aware of this situation due to certain reasons."
Silence enveloped the room for a few moments before Akashi clicked his tongue and spoke once again.
"Alright then, I accept. How about you, Tetsuya?" the redhead fixed his gaze onto the said tealnet. Seeing the look in his former captain's heterochromatic eyes, Kuroko had this feeling that he couldn't say 'no' for not just the mentioned reasons.
Unable to form a decent sentence due to the shock he still felt, Kuroko only nodded to show his approval. Maybe this transfer thing wasn't such a good idea after all.
