Angel of Death
Disclaimer: I do not own Assassination Classroom
Chapter 25
Nagataka rested his head on his arm as he sat in the class, waiting for it too begin. Right now only two people were in the room, him and the AI.
"I believe that everyone will arrive shortly" Ritsu said as she turned to him.
"Hm" He said back.
"What are the estimations on today's assassination attempt?"
"Hm"
"Uh, I...Are you alright?"
"Hm"
"Okay, um...wanna start a random conversation so you can stop going hm?"
"...Hm"
"What are you thinking about?" She asked.
"Hm"
"Is this a gag? If so I believe it has gone long enough"
"Hm"
"Please stop"
"Alright" He suddenly said not making eye contact as he only moved his eyes away. A small victorious smile on his face could be seen from where Ritsu was.
"So it was an act..."
"Yeah, pretty bored here" He told her. "The estimation of assassination would be the same as other days but also lower and higher, it's not set in stone. Also, yes, I am alright and would love to start a pointless and random conversation to shut me up for a few seconds of saying hm and I'm not thinking about anything unless you count waiting for you to break from all the hm and finally, yes it was an gag or act and I guess it had gone on for too long but it could have gone longer"
Ritsu blinked at the long speech from Nagataka. "I guess it could be seen as boring right here" She said. "Do you want to watch a movie?"
Nagataka glanced in her direction, raising an eyebrow. "You can stream?" He asked.
"Well, yes" She replied. "I can also download it"
"You know, you should be carefully of viruses and possible hackings" He told her.
"Your concern is highly noted" She smiled. "I have been upgrading my online defences to combat both hackings and viruses"
"...Well just be careful" He told her.
"I will"
"What movies do you have?"
"I have plenty of me, do you wish me to show you a list?"
"That would be great but we don't have that much time" He said as she brought up a list. "Hm, Boy and the Beast, Spirited Away, Seven Samurai, Titanic, Star Wars, Godzilla...hey Godzilla" There was A LOT of movies on the list from multiple countries and in multiple languages, he hadn't even scratched the surface of the list as Ritsu scrolled down.
"Okay, stop please" Ritsu stopped scrolling as he face reappeared.
"Have you chosen?" She asked with a smile.
"Hm...from the cameras can you see anyone?" He asked.
Ritsu quickly went through the cameras installed by Nagataka. "No one is in sight yet, and the recorded footage from earlier...has something...disturbing"
"Disturbing?"
"Take a look"
"...We need to upgrade the cameras..." He said, the cameras while live and could record as well, allowing playback, it needed a few upgrades. "I'm thinking guns, any kind of ammo and maybe some upgrades like Night, Thermal/Infrared vision and a motion sensor" However Ritsu seemed to be doing a good job and the camera could show them clear footage in the dark.
Sometimes it was better to have those upgrades and sometimes it wasn't but he was seriously thinking of installing those guns.
On the screen was Korosensei...was...it was to awful! It burned his eyes!
"We need to kill him now, the quicker the better" Nagataka said.
On the screen, Korosensei was baking a cake...in the shape of a giant pair of breasts. Once the cake was done, Korosensei's face dived into the 'sugary goodness' and man, oh god!
"Turn it off" Nagataka pleaded. "Please, just turn it off"
Ritsu turned off the screen. "Are you okay?"
"No, no I'm not" He told her. "I think I need therapy after that"
"What should I do with it?"
"Don't delete it, keep it" He said. "We can use it as blackmail...oh god, I can still see it when I blink!"
"Hey Ritsu, you can easily upgrade the cameras right?" She nodded to his question. "You can also act as a motion sensor too?" She nodded again.
"Why?"
"For future reference" He said. "We may need to do that one day as well as add guns to those cameras that you can control"
Soon enough the sliding doors opened. "Ah yes, the rest of the class is and has arrived" She said as the class walked in.
"Ah I see you two are here bright and early" Rio said as she sat in her seat.
"Are you okay Nagataka?" Sumire asked.
Ritsu was about to say something until Nagataka spoke up. "Yeah"
"Really?"
"No"
"What happened?"
"...I don't want to talk about it"
Nagataka then whispered over to Ritsu. "This stays between us for now okay, they are not ready for it" He said. "I don't want to scar them with that mental image"
"Okay, I'll keep that clip to the two of us only until you deem it ready for them"
"Thanks"
Then the sick and disgusting excuse for a creature slithered in. "Good morning class" He said smiling as he noticed Nagataka. "Is there something wrong?"
"You're sick and disgusting!" The teen said as he wheeled over to the door.
"Nagataka where are you going? The lesson has just started"
"There's a lot to see in this in life, I'm not wasting it here"
Nagataka left the room.
"...What did you do sensei?" Hinano asked.
"I did something? I have no idea what I apparently did!" The teacher replied. "But...I think I need to talk with him if I did something wrong to offend him"
Korosensei went to the door and opened it...only for Nagataka to wheel back in.
"N-Nagataka?"
"I'm fine now, for now" He said as he went back next to Ritsu.
"Are you sure?" Korosensei asked as Nagataka avoided looking at the teacher.
"Nothing a little therapy won't fix!" He responded getting confused looks. "Every time I look at him I see it!" He whispered with only Ritsu hearing him as Korosensei was to confused to what was happening.
"When I blink, I see it! When I look at him, I see it! When I look anywhere else, I see it!" Nagataka thought. "I cannot unsee it, I cannot unthink it, it's stuck there in my mind! God help me!"
It was stuck forever in his mind, sure it would fade one day, probably soon, but he will remember it. God it was awful once Korosensei's face dived into the large freshly baked giant pair of sugar goodness he called breasts as he began to eat it...and he was talking during it!
"I think I'm going to be sick" Nagataka thought looking down. "If I ever cried, now would be a good time after what I've been through just then"
The worst part was, Nagataka didn't even watch the FULL video! It was only the beginning! Who knows what happened afterwards. Did he just eat it or did he prolong it some way. Oh gross...now he might actually be sick.
"Please...kill me" He pleaded softly, however no one heard him.
"Uh...okay" Korosensei was looking through the roll. "Everyone is here, now the lesson will begin"
"What are we are going to do sensei?" Asked a cheerful Hinano.
"The first lesson of the day is cooking" Korosensei said as Ritsu turned slightly to Nagataka...who was silently weeping.
"Oh god" He said to himself.
As Korosensei went over what they would be doing he then went over to Nagataka and placed a tentacle on his shoulder. "Nagataka, I don't know what's wrong but I can see that it is affecting you greatly" He said with concern. "Don't push yourself and you can talk about it with your teachers"
"...Thanks Korosensei" Nagataka said which sent shivers down Erosensei's spine...if he had one...Nagataka only referred to him as Erosensei, this was new. "But that won't be needed. I'll be fine"
"Your the one who caused it in the first place!" He added in his mind.
"Okay, now you should find a partner to work with" He told his student. "I think Sumire and Yuzuki have an open spot for you"
"Then it's not partner but rather a group..."
"...Oops?"
Nagataka groaned as he went over to Sumire and Yuzuki wearing a white apron.
"Now class, today we will be baking some Chiffon Cake" The teacher informed the, however all the students gave him a look while Nagataka had a disgusted look on his face. The Cannibal himself had a pink face and was drooling...making it worse for Nagataka.
"That was the same expression!" He thought.
"YOU JUST WANT TO EAT IT!" The students shouted as Nagataka seemed to be having a horrifying flashback and covered his mouth.
"N-No I don't!" The octopus weakly defended himself.
"Sensei doesn't do a good job of hiding his intentions huh?" Yuzuki asked.
"I guess we should get started" Sumire said as she the three started on the cake. "two cups sifted cake flour, one and a half cups of white sugar, one tablespoon baking powder, one teaspoon salt, one and a half cup vegetable oil, seven egg yolks, three quarters cup of cold water, two teaspoons vanilla extract, one teaspoon lemon extract, seven egg whites, a half teaspoon cream of tartar and finally one recipe of Williamsburg Butter Frosting"
"Hm, half a cup of butter or margarine softened, four and a half cups sifted powdered sugar, one tablespoon grated orange rind and four to five tablespoons orange juice" Nagataka listed off the ingredients for the frosting. "It seems we have to make the frosting ourselves as well"
"The frosting will be the easiest to do so we'll live that while the cake bakes" Sumire said taking the leading role. "Let's start"
Yukiko picked up the recipe and began to read aloud to the other two. "Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wash a 10 inch angel food tube pan in hot soapy water to ensure it is totally grease free"
"Done" Nagataka said adjusting the oven as Yuzuki started on the angel food tube pan.
"Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into sifter. Sift into bowl. Make a well; add oil, egg yolks, water, vanilla, and lemon flavoring to the well in the order that is given. Set aside. Don't beat" Nagataka read. "In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until very stiff. Set aside"
"Using same beaters, beat egg yolk batter until smooth and light. Pour gradually over egg whites, folding in with rubber spatula. Do not stir. Pour batter into angel food tube pan" He continued. "Bake for 55 minutes. Increase heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake 10 to 15 minutes until done. Invert pan until cool"
It didn't take long for the three but now the cake was baking and they started on the frosting.
"Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add orange rind and juice; beat until smooth" Sumire read as Yuzuki prepared the frosting.
When the cake was done and they let it cool down, they added the icing before Nagataka pulled out a piece of cling wrap and held it over the cake, confusing the other two before seeing Korosensei drooling onto the cling wrap.
"Stop it, you'll ruin the cake"
"S-Sorry" Korosensei said jumping back.
"...You want a piece don't you sensei?" Sumire and Yuzuki asked, the octopus only nodded weakly.
"Fine, I guess you can have a slice" Nagataka said as Sumire cut a slice for their teacher.
Nagataka eyed the cake as did Yuzuki. "You two want some as well?" Sumire asked as they also nodded.
"Well we did help bake it" Yuzuki and Nagataka added.
As Nagataka, Korosensei and Yuzuki ate the slice of chiffon cake, their eye's widened dramatically.
"This cake!" Korosensei said.
"The taste is..." Yuzuki continued.
"It's delicious" Nagataka finished.
"Your very good at cooking Sumire" Nagataka complimented as he continued to eat the slice.
"Yeah it amazing" Yuzuki also gave a compliment.
"You two do realize, that I wasn't the only one making it...you two were helping" Sumire said modestly.
"That is true, but we didn't do any of the major parts" Nagataka replied. "We were basically assistants to the chef, you did most of the work"
"Yeah" Yuzuki agreed. "Compliments to the chef!"
Korosensei was already eating his second helping. "You should be proud of your skills Sumire, oh and also, you may want to have a slice for yourself before it disappears"
Nagataka grabbed a slice and gave it to Sumire before getting himself a second one for himself.
"Make sure not to eat too much, it would ruin your appetite...and too much will be bad for you" Sumire scolded in a soft motherly tone as Korosensei was already on his fourth and Nagataka on his third.
"Yes mum" Nagataka replied.
"I'll go check on the other students..." Korosensei said before being stopped.
"You just want to eat their cakes don't you!" The three accused, freezing Korosensei in his tracks.
"N-No..."
The three just stared before he gave in and left with his head down after Sumire had slapped his wrist.
All three of them then had a thought. "We should have added anti-sensei material into the mix..." They all thought as Korosensei walked, no sulked away.
"Damn, we could have killed him" Yuzuki said as the other two nodded as they took of their aprons.
"What are we going to do with the rest of the cake?" The black haired teen asked glancing at the cake.
"I believe sensei said we can put some slices in some plastic food containers" Sumire said bringing out the plastic food containers.
After dividing the slices between themselves and into the containers they, along with the class, left the room about to return to their normal classroom.
However due to the lack of bags, Nagataka decided to carry the containers as Yuzuki pushed him.
"Sensei will due anything for a sweet huh?" She asked as Nagataka simply nodded in response.
"Anyways...did you read the latest JUMP?"
"I did" He responded. "Gintama is still my favourite though, but a few others are pretty close up there"
"I prefer One Piece myself" She said. "But I can understand why you like Gintama, it doesn't follow the norm, it's its own thing"
"Are you perhaps planning on becoming a Mangaka?"
Yuzuki blinked at the random question. "Hm, well I did consider it" She said. "In fact I still am"
"So uh, yeah I would like to become a Mangaka" She answered. "What about you?"
Nagataka glanced up at her from where he was. "There are plenty of jobs out there but the main question is what to choose due to my disability" He told her. "I guess I have a few in mind...but I haven't really decided it yet..."
"You'll figure it out" She said looking down at him as she wheeled him to the back of the classroom.
Nagataka tilted his head at her. "Are you sure it's fine not to tell you my possible choices?"
"Nah it's fine, besides you might change it and so might I" She said. "I'll find out when you decided on one"
"Okay, then I'll tell you then then"
"Nagataka, Nagataka!" Ritsu said as he turned to see a panicking Ritsu.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I was reading and scrolling through the internet..."
"Oh boy, this is going to bad isn't it?" He asked himself as the AI continued.
"And then I read something that said if I don't repost it five times to five different people that I know or strangers then I'll be cursed and get killed!" She said as she continued to panic.
"Ritsu, Ritsu! Calm down!" He told her as she started to calm down. "It's fine, don't repost them, there stupid"
"Really?" She sniffled.
"Really, nothing is going to happen even if you do or don't, they're just time wasters. They are plain stupid, don't listen to them, not all things on the internet are true" He told her. "You okay now?"
"Y-Yes" She replied calming down. "I'll be fine"
"That's good" He said with a smile.
"I shall put this into my database, not all information is correct or reliable" She said. "Also get a second opinion from those in the class"
Yuzuki whistle. "You sure handled that well" She said.
"Ah your still here"
Yuzuki was sent into a shock pose. "Are you saying you forgot I was here?!"
"It was just that you are such a background character that you completely blended into the background like one of those characters you see in shows who serve no real purpose other than being there and filling space" He said and it took a while for Yuzuki to registered the smirk on his face.
When she saw the smirk she sighed. "You were just messing with me" She sighed in relief. "I was pretty worried there for a second"
"There was nothing to worry about, I was just feeling like messing with you" He replied smoothly. "Plus you'd never be a background character even if you tried"
"Hehe, thanks"
"Come on class, take your seats" Korosensei said. "We still have the rest of the lesson to go"
They then all went back into the proper seats as the next lesson of Korosensei began.
Bonding Time? Yes, there will be more Bonding Time.
Will Class E see what caused Nagataka to go through such turmoil and great suffering? Maybe, Yes...Possibly.
