My story of "The Sea, You, and I" was actually inspired by the game called "Voices from the Sea", a short but rather fun otome game that I accidentally stumbled upon one day. My OC's look is pretty much the same as the game's heroine with a slight alteration by me. Unlike some of the OC Fanfictions that I've read about this anime before, I tell you this much at least, she isn't going to be a famous young assassin that joins the class or a typical transfer student.
P.S. Nagisa will be in the Fanfiction. I can guarantee that.
As for my OC's love interest, that part will be interesting...yeah I'm not going to say anything right now but there is going to be a love interest. All I can say is that her love interest is going to be her childhood best friend. Slightly cliche but its a lot better than love at first sight (bleh) which in my definition is almost as bad as having your OC a complete fangirl over a canon character (always avoid those types). Also, I'm no expert on romance and all but I will try my best.
It's the first story I've ever written so feel free to judge, I personally don't mind since I'm aware of my horrible writing skills.
Also, a bit of a personal thing but I have this 'habit' of not feeling satisfied with my work so I tend to start over a lot. So if I don't upload the next chapter until another month, it's most likely because of that and a combination laziness. Please review if you can. Forgive me if their are grammar or spelling errors.

Chapter I: Assassination Time
Youko sat in her seat as still and quiet as possible. She was seated at the far back at the center of the classroom. The desks on the left and right of her were empty besides the desk that Terasaka sat in on her far right. It was rather lonely sitting there, but she didn't mind since she got a full view of the classroom from her position.
She wore the standard gray uniform of her school and was a girl of average height. Her hair was exactly like the ocean, ranging from multiple shades of deep blue hues like the surface of the sea under the sunlight. It was long, reaching down to her waist. Her eyes were gentle coral red with a slight sharp gaze. Her skin was the color of white sand like on the beach. Other than her ocean-like appearance and gentle face structure, she looked like your average middle school girl.
The classroom waited with bated breaths as they waited for their homeroom teacher to enter the classroom.
"We'll start homeroom now. Whoever is on day duty, issue your commands." the yellow octopus-like teacher of ours said.
If she could remember correctly, Nagisa Shiota was suppose to issue the signal.
Nagisa Shiota is the boy, not a girl, with sky blue hair that unlike Youko's was a lighter, not as deep color and matching eyes. His clothes are slightly different compared to the others. He was Youko's friend since the beginning of middle school. He had visited her house a few times before and she would sometimes tutor him when he needed help.
She gripped the hidden twin pistols she hid underneath her desk.
"S-stand!" the signal was launched, everyone immediately stood up in unison. "Bow!" Guns in hand, Youko and her classmates started to shoot like crazy. The girls wielded pistols while the boys shot with rifles and machine guns.
"Good morning." he said calmly, while moving at Mach 20 to avoid the rain of bullets. "Alright, seeing as how you're still firing, I shall take attendance. Isogai-kun." One by one, he said aloud everyone's names. "No absences... how wonderful. Sensei is very pleased."
When roll call was over, the whole class was already tired from continuous shooting. Youko sat back into her seat to save as much energy she had left. She could feel the thin layer of sweat that had built up during their assassination attempt. The girl panted, 'There's no way we can kill him that easily…he's too fast.'
"Too bad. Not a single bullet hit its mark today, either." the teacher commented. "Methods relying on sheer numbers lack any individual thought. Your gaze, the direction of your guns, finger movement - each and every one is far too simplistic. You've got to be more inventive! Otherwise... you'll never be able to be able to kill me at my max speed of Mach 20."
"You seriously dodged all of them though, sensei!" Hiroto protested.
"I mean these are just BBs." added Sugino as he took a look at them close up. "Even if they hit, you'll just stand there and endure won't you?"
"Yeah! That's right!"
Not long after, the class began to retaliate. Youko wanted to cover her ears as she sighed. True, she did think of using harmless pellets for an assassination was a little odd but she also knew that they weren't ordinary pellets. Why else would the government give them to the students as a prime weapon if they weren't going to be able to kill him?
Eventually he sighed and said, "Gather up the BBs and hand them over." A tentacle of his reached over to Hinata and grabbed her gun. "I told you: these may be harmless to you…"he shot a tentacle at point blank range. The instant the bullet came in contact to his skin it exploded, spilling some yellow juice that acted like his own blood.
Youko's eyes narrowed at this. 'I knew it, these aren't just everyday BB pellets.'
"...but these are special bullets developed by the government." he continued. Despite having one of his limbs hacked off, his smiley expression never changed. "If one hits me, it can slice through my sells like they were tofu. Of course, they regenerate after a few seconds later." True to what he said, the cut off limb had grew out of the socket and made it look like it was never cut off to begin with.
The information that had been introduced to her was safely secured in Youko's memory. At least now everyone won't be questioning the usefulness of the BB bullets anymore.
"Still, it's also dangerous if you end up shooting your eyes out. No shooting in the classroom except for the purpose of killing me." His head began to show green stripes, a sign of his pride. "I do hope you can kill me - before graduation, that is. Now then, let's put away our guns and BBs. Class is starting."
The class sighed, including herself as they began to clean up the BB pellets and store the guns away.
'Class 3-E of Kunugigiaoka Junior High School: the assassination classroom. We are the assassins. Our target is our teacher. Another day, another class bell rings.'
"Now here's the question: Isogai!" the teacher elected.
"Y-yes, sir?"
"Which one of these four tentacles is not like the others?" he asked, revealing a blue, purple, white, and green tentacle.
Youko, who sat in the back accidentally broke her lead when she heard what the question was. 'Are you really serious. How is anyone suppose to answer that. It's all pure luck now.'
"Um… the blue one." he guessed.
"Correct! Only the 'who' in the blue sentence is a relative pronoun."
As the teacher continued on with his lecture, Youko began to doze off. She thought back on how Class 3-E had become like this. Why their teacher was going to be her target. At least 70% of the moon was gone that day too. She didn't bother listening to the teacher as he scolded Nakamura for firing in the midst of class.
'We only have a year.' she thought. 'If we don't manage to assassinate this guy... Earth will be history.'
Her daydreaming came to an end as the bell for lunch had rang.
"Ah, lunchtime!" the teacher announced while walking over to a nearby window. "I'll just pop over China for some mapo tofu. And any aspiring assassins are welcome to hit me up on my cell." And off he goes, leaving a following shockwave in the classroom.
Youko and the others nearby the window braced themselves in time.
"Let's see… if he's traveling at Mach 20…" Youko did the equation in her head. "it'll take around ten to get to Sichuan, home of mapo tofu."
"I guess no missile could shoot that down."
"Heck, that octopus even grades tests while moving at the speed of sound!" someone revealed.
"Seriously?!"
"Mine came back with a drawing on it." said Isogai.
"By the way isn't he unexpectedly good at teaching?"
I know! When I went to assassinate him after school, I took the opportunity to learn arithmetic from him." Kurahashi Hinano mentioned. "I did great on my test."
"Yeah, but...we are the E Class." Mimura reminded.
At the mention of their ranking, the atmosphere somehow turned grim.
"Even if we try our best, there's just no helping it."
Youko sighed at the depressing demeanor. She was just about to eat her bento outside when she saw Terasaka and his gang walking up to Nagisa. She couldn't hear what they were discussing about but she did see Nagisa nodding his head. 'Oh well...I just hope that its nothing bad.'
She saw them walking outside to talk. There goes her plan to eat outdoors. She let out another sigh and decided to eat lunch in the classroom.
"All right, then, compose a short poem to go with our theme. The last line should be 'was tentacles all along.'"
Youko, for how many times now, sighed as she tapped her mechanical pencil on the desk. Like her, everyone else was confused with the teacher's choice of ending.
"Once you're done, you're free to go home!" he added.
Everyone began to complain about their writing assignment. Kayano raised her hand. "I have a question."
"Ah yes, Kayano?"
"It's kinda late to be asking this, but what name should we use when talking about you. It's difficult to identify you outside the other teachers." she said.
The subject caught Youko's attention, 'A name, huh?'
"My...name?" he repeated.
"Now that you mention it…" began Sugino.
"...He never told us." Fuwa finished.
The teacher began to scratch his head in thought. "Hmm...I don't really have a name in particular. How about all of you come up with one, if you don't mind. But for now, concentrate on the task." he ordered.
"'Kay~."
"Meanwhile, I'll just take a little break." his head then turned pink as if he was asleep. Nagisa then got up, with his paper in hand. "Finished already, Nagisa?"
At the corner of her eyes, Youko could see Terasaka grinning. She had a bad feeling about this…. From a further inspection, she caught sight of green point. She could recognize that it was the plastic knife that they were given for the assassination of the octopus teacher. Still, her intuition tells her something big was coming up. She lowered her body a bit and focused her attention on Nagisa, careful to not miss a single detail.
Nagisa closed in the distance between him and the teacher before giving a quick swing of the blade. Unfortunately, it was caught by one of the teachers tentacles.
"I told you, you need to be more inventive!" he reminded as he covered the knife with a cloth to take it out of his hands without directly touching it.
However, he was caught off guard when Nagisa then jumped towards him in a hug. That was when Youko finally realized what he was actually planning for.
"Na-" Before she could speak up, Terasaka had already pressed the button the grenade exploded, shooting out hundreds of BB pellets at once with a great amount of force. Everyone took cover. Before Terasaka and his friends could begin to party at their success, Youko gave them a death glare to shut them up. "Tersaka! What did you make Nagisa do?!" she yelled.
The idiot trio ignored it albeit did cringe under her heated glare. They ran up to what looked like the corpse of their former teacher. "I bet he never expected a suicide bomber!"
"Hey! What'd you give Nagisa?!" this time it was Nagisa's friend, Kayano to be upset as she questioned him.
"Huh? A toy grenade." he replied. "It's just that I used gunpowder to give it a kick in order to shoot 300 anti-sensei bullets at an insanely fast speed."
"What!" Youko slapped her hands on the table. To say that she angry was a big understatement, she was furious! Under the light, her hair had darkened slightly as if the sea was in the middle of a storm and her coral red eyes looked closer to blood each passing minute.
"They're not strong enough to kill a human so don't sweat it. My 10 billion yen'll cover his medical bi-"
And she snapped. She grabbed the closest things near her, which happened to be three of her mechanical pencils, and expertly threw them in Terasaka's direction. The force that she had applied to them was enough to puncture the lead into the wood. They landed ridiculously close to his face if he hadn't barely move away in time. Now on the floor were three mechanical pencils diagonally lined up straight with each other.
"Oi!"
She ran up to Nagisa and the sight made her widen her eyes. She knelt down to examine him. "He's not hurt? Not even a single burn?" she murmured only enough for the class to hear her. 'And this membrane,' she felt part the skin, 'is attached to that octopus's body…'
"As it happens to be, I shed my skin once a month. I protected Nagisa there by covering him with my old skin." on cue Nagisa regain conscience and sat up, breaking the shell. Youko sharply turned her line of sight above her to see a certain octopus clinging to the ceiling. "It's my once-monthly ace-in-the-hole." a drop of sweat formed on the girl's face as she saw the color of her teacher's face: pitch black...extreme anger. "Terasaka, Yoshida, Muramatsu." The class watched in fear, color drained from their faces. "So you were the ringleaders, aren't you?"
The three tried to deny it and even put the blame on Nagisa. She would've glared at them but her teacher was already doing that for her. The octopus flew out of the classroom at Mach 20 and back before they could say anything. When he was back as quickly as he had left, he was carrying an armful of name plates. Three of them fell from the pile.
Yoshida…
Terasaka…
And Muramatsu…
Youko could see a 'Sakurano' sticking out of the pile. She paled at the sight of her family name.
"Due to my agreement with the government, I cannot inflict harm on any one of you, but if you come to kill me next time using the same method as just now, I don't know what will happen to everyone who isn't any of you. Your family, your friends...or I could wipe out the whole planet apart from you."
She looked up in anxiety. She was trying her best to not look panicked and frighten like the others. 'Five seconds, and we all knew: there was no running to the ends of the earth for us. If we really wanted run...all we could do...was kill him!'
"What the hell's your deal, anyways?" Terasaka shouted. "You're just a giant pain! Showing up all 'I'm gonna blow up the Earth' and "Assassinate me' What's so wrong with using an annoying method to kill an annoying guy?"
"Annoying? Hardly. Your idea itself was excellent." all of a sudden his face turned orange with a red circle at the enter as if saying correct. "Especially you Nagisa. You get a full score for keeping the movement of your body entirely natural until the moment you closed in. You made it right through the chink in my defenses." he turned to Youko this time. "And as for you Sakurano, you also get a praise for that magnificent display of bloodlust. If Terasaka hadn't move quickly enough, the pencils most likely would've landed on his arm." he added as he plucked the mechanical pencils out of the floor. "However! none of you looked out for Nagisa, not even Nagisa like that aren't fit to assassinate anyone. We need an assassination worth smiling about - to be proud of! You're all capable assassins who have that power within you. Some advice from your teacher and your target."
"Pfft…Hahahaha!" Youko ended up laughing. "Chewed out at Mach 20, then praised with waving tentacles...I even came up with a name for you during the chaos~"
"Really? And what would that name be?"
"Koro-sensei...just combine Korosenai (unkillable) with sensei and you get Koro-sensei." she explained.
And so...another day, another bell rings.
So how was it? Sorry if it's short but honestly the first episode was never really my favorite since its main purpose was to introduce and explain things for the readers. I didn't bother putting in the flashbacks because I got too lazy and not to mention it was kinda pointless putting in something that (I hope) the readers already know about so I only put none to barely a skim of it in (unless I forgot but oh well~).
As for Youko's classmates; I won't describe them that much until there's a proper introduction like during their '(Name) Time' chapters.
By the way, I've read most of the manga so doing a hiatus because of the anime won't come out until the next week or that they could only do a fraction of the manga and stop there is somewhat unlikely. I say 'most of the manga' because currently, it's still continuing.
And please put a comment in the reviews to let me know about the story, I'm no professional writer so sorry if it's not your liking. The reviews will also help encouraging me to write and not be lazy for once.
Bye~
Hopefully I can write the next chapter a bit longer than this too.
