Author note at the end.
The scene opened to the old campus.
"Nagisa, you figured out everyone in your group yet?" Kataoka asked
Nagisa looked up at Kataoka in confusion. "My group?"
"When you're all set, tell me— your class president—or Isogai, okay?" She waved before leaving.
Nagisa still looked confused.
"Have you forgotten? Our class trip is next week!" Kayano approached him, holding the school pamphlet with a bright smile on her face. She held up the pamphlet for Nagisa to see.
"Class trip?" Mr. Horibe raised an eyebrow. "Right after the exams?"
"Yeah, Kunugigaoka does that a lot." Mr. Hayami explained.
"Honestly! Who has a class trip this early in Year 3?" Korosensei approached wearing a gisha outfit. "I can't say I approve." He said in a feminine voice.
Mrs. Akabane burst out laughing and was on the floor. Some people also laugh while others just smiled in amusement.
Mr. Takeabayashi rolled his eyes and sighed at the Octopus's dress up.
"Is he serious?" Mr. Kanzaki sweat dropped.
"He was never the serious type to begin with." His wife said, also sweat dropping.
"You're totally into it!" Maehara yelled in irritation.
"An apprentice geisha?!" Mimura exclaimed.
"And, it looks good on him!" Okajima said in disbelief while sweating.
The laughter grew louder.
"I gotta admit, it does look good on him." Mrs. Sugaya chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm a little jealous." Mrs. Nakamura said.
Korosensei changed back to his robes and scratched his head sheepishly. "Saw right through me. Yes, in fact, I can hardly wait to go on this trip with you."
"I don't blame him. Kyoto's amazing." Mr. Mimura leaned to his wife. "Remember when we went there on a family trip?"
"Don't remind me." The woman said flatly.
Nagisa and Kayano smiled at him. 'First exams, then a class trip. Even an assassination classroom has a jam-packed schedule.'
Suddenly, Ritsu appeared on screen, wearing her usual cheerful smile.
"Ritsu?" Mrs. Sugino asked in confusion.
"We're going to be playing the opening." The digital girl announced.
"Yes!" Mrs. Akabane pumped her fists up in the air.
Others groaned.
"Why?" Mrs. Maehara asked irritably. "You said each opening gets played once!"
"But I also mentioned variations." The AI said. "This is the Group 4 version, since they're the stars of today's episode."
"Group 4?" Nagisa's father asked.
"They're Nagisa-san, Karma-san, Kayano-san, Okuda-san, Sugino-san, and Kanzaki-san."
The parents of the six teens were surprised.
"Wait, who normally sings the openings?" Mr. Hara asked.
"The E Class Song Unit." Ritsu said. "They're Nagisa-san, Kayano-san, Karma-san, Isogai-san, and Maehara-san."
"What?" the parents of the five teens blanched.
"Karma? Singing?" Mr. Akabane asked in surprise. "How'd that happen?"
"Fuwa-san promised to give him her brother's old sonic ninja comic."
Mr. Nakamura beamed. 'Sonic Ninja!'
The Fuwas seemed amused by their daughter's actions.
"Then what the hell are you waiting for, play it, robot girl!" Mrs. Akabane yelled.
"Is it necessary?" Mr. Takebayashi asked irritably.
"Of course, glasses!" The woman yelled. "I wanna hear my kid sing! Plus it's catchy!"
"And good blackmail material." Mr. Akabane smirked.
"Oh, ho ho, you bet!" His wife grinned evilly. "Next time that idiot does something stupid, like jumping off a damn cliff! I'll tell him we'll play this song at his funeral!"
"I really can't take this woman seriously." Mrs. Maehara told Mrs. Isogai.
"Can we just get this over with already?" Mrs. Kataoka asked.
Ritsu played the episode.
The theory…of savage youth!
"Savage youth." Mrs. Okano repeated warily.
Mrs. Akabane started dancing when the students were shown.
I only speak when it's time to act
"Those are Nagisa and Karma." Nagisa's father said.
"Huh, Karma can sing." Mr. Akabane was impressed.
I know that's pretty cool
"Tomohito!" Mrs. Sugino said once she heard her son sing.
(Searching for our target: we're savage)
Our feelings stray—
"Akari." Mr. Yukimura mumbled, not noticing that Nagisas father had heard him.
They get lost, but move forward
"Mimi-chan!" Mrs. Okuda beamed.
Maybe we're only halfway helpless
"That's Yukiko." Mr. Kanzaki told his wife, who nodded with a smile.
What's this wave of irritation?
Proof of our existence?
Look up at the moon and up you go
C'mon now: C-c'mon now—start!
"START!" Mrs. Akabane sang along, not noticing or caring that she was annoying other people.
Haven't gone through with it—
That's why it's a drag
The breakthrough you whispered about is finally worth a shout.
Haven't gone through with it—
That's why it's a drag (You can do it if you try)
Haven't gone through with it—
That's why it's a drag (I know you can)
"Haven't gone through with it—That's why it's a drag (I know you can)" Mrs. Akabane sang the chorus since it was the only thing she had memorized.
"Whatever" is easy to say
But I want to struggle now, I want to burst with you
But still: youth, to the future!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Mrs. Akabane sang along.
The theory of savage youth!
"Yeah! Savage youth!"
"I swear," Mrs. Maehara growled and turned to the woman. "You are the embodiment of irritation!"
"Second it." Mr. Takebayashi muttered.
"Why thank you." Mrs. Akabane pretended to bow, further annoying the other woman.
"Calm down, calm down." Mrs. Isogai patted her shoulder.
"Yeah, at least it's over." Mr. Maheara told her.
Mrs. Maehara gritted her teeth and continued watching silently.
Episode 7: Field Trip Time.
The students were sitting outside in front of Karasuma.
"As you know, next week is our two-night school trip to Kyoto. Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but you're still on duty." He said.
"You mean we can assassinate him there?" Okano asked.
"Precisely."
Various images showed Korosensei enjoying his time in Kyoto while the students watched him. "Kyoto is far larger and more complex than this school. And, you'll be moving in groups that he'll be following." An image of a sniper appeared. "It's an ideal location for snipers. The government has already arranged for sharpshooters to join you."
"Wow!" Mrs. Maehara feigned amazement. "Hire a sniper to go on a trip with a bunch of middle-schoolers. Fantastic job, government!"
"What has the world come to?" Mrs. Chiba shook her head and sighed.
"If they succeed they'll share the ten billion yen with you, based on the degree of their contribution," The students listened attentively "Be sure to pick assassination-friendly tour routes."
"Assassination-friendly?" Mrs. Kataoka's eye twitched, eyes white with anger.
"This is ridiculous." Mr. Kanzaki shook his head.
"Yes, sir!" They said.
The scene cut to the classroom and on to Nagisa, Kayano, and Sugino.
"School trip groups, huh?" Nagisa wondered loudly, looking at a map of Kyoto. "Hey, Karma -Want to be in my group?"
Karma was looking outside the window in boredom. He smiled as he glanced up at them. "Yeah, Okay."
"You sure about that, Karma?" Sugino asked worriedly as karma walked over. "You won't be pickin' fights and getting' in trouble on our trip, right?"
Karma smiled reassuringly. "No, sweat."
"No sweat he said." Mr. Nakamura muttered.
"I'm sure he'll be on he'll behave." Mr. Akabane assured, though the tone of his voice contradicted his words.
It also didn't help that the rest of the parents were giving him disbelieving looks.
He held up a photo of him and two students. He was smiling cheerfully and holding the two students in place while they showed their IDs. The boy's face had several bruises while the girl was bemused.
"When I fight offsite, I make sure to silence any witnesses—"The camera zoomed out, showing Karma's demonic horns, tail and purple aura. "The whole thing stays hush-hush."
All eyes were on the Akabanes again.
"Still think he'll behave?" Mrs. Maehara questioned.
Mr. Akabane glanced to the side.
"Relax!" Mrs. Akabane waved her had dismissively. "It's not like he's in psycho mode all the time."
"Really?" Mrs. Kimura was unconvinced. "Are we talking about the kid who constantly got into fight and severely injured his upper classman?"
"Who had it coming!" Mrs. Akabane interjected.
"Who also traumatized his old homeroom teacher?" Mrs. Hara questioned.
"Who also had it coming!"
"Or who could have caused a serious head injury to a student?" Mrs. Yoshida joined in.
"Who would have deserved it!"
"Oh, for God's sake, woman!" Mr. Terasaka snapped. "It doesn't matter if they deserved it or not, your kid shouldn't have done any of those things!"
"I know that!" She said although no one was convinced by her words. "I'm just saying he's not like all the time."
"Fine then, most of the time!" Mr. Kataoka said.
"Um…" Mrs. Iosgai spoke up. "He hasn't been psychopathic since the whole…cliff thing."
The parents turned to her in surprise, making her self-conscious.
"I mean…" She began. "He hasn't been doing anything crazy, or harming other, or all the things we've seen him do in his first appearance."
"Well, now that you mention it," Mr. Sugino said. "He hasn't been causing any trouble since Episode 3."
"Yeah, he's mostly a prankster now." Mr. Muramatsu said.
"That right!" Mrs. Akabane said. "Course, that doesn't mean the whole cliff thing is swept under the rug, nope! He's so in for it when we get back home!"
"You got that right." Her husband nodded.
"C'mon! You can't let him in our group!" Sugino whispered to Nagisa, sweat all over his face.
"But we are old friends..." Nagisa said calmly.
"Them?" Mr. Sugaya was stunned. "No way."
"It's true." Hiromi said. "Karma-kun would visit sometimes."
Mrs. Nakamura raised an eyebrow. "The gentle Nagisa and the crazy Karma?"
Mr. Fuwa shrugged. "Maybe they balance each other out?"
"Isn't Nagisa also scary?" Mrs. Sugaya asked her husband. "Like when he scared those two bullies?"
The man nodded. "Yeah, but he's not on Karma's level."
Karma joined the two boys. "Where's our fourth? Nagisa, Sugino, Kayano, and...?"
"Oh, I Invited Okuda!" Kayano held up a nervous Okuda cheerfully.
Okuda's parents didn't look happy about that.
"We need six. Shouldn't our last member be a girl?" Karma turned to Sugino and Nagisa.
Sugino grinned. "I knew this time would come. I asked her a looong time ago:" Kanzaki appeared on screen with the others blushing around her. "How 'bout class idol, Kanzaki?"
"No objections here!" Kayano said.
"Class…idol?" Mr. Kanzaki repeated wife blinked in surprise at the title.
The camera moved upwards to show a close up of Kanzaki. 'Kanzaki doesn't stand out, but she's popular with all of us. No one would mind being in the same group with her'. Kanzaki bowed respectfully. She raised her head up, blushing.
Mrs. Hazama smiled longingly at the screen. 'Why can't Kirara be like her?'
Mrs. Isogai smiled warmly. "She seems like a sweetheart."
Mrs. Kanzaki overheard and smiled.
"Thanks for having me, Nagisa." She said softly.
"Yeah, sure." Nagisa nodded while blushing.
Mrs. Akabane grinned. "Ooh, do we some potential romance here?"
Mr. Kanzaki tensed when he heard the word 'romance'.
"I wouldn't mind." Hiromi smiled pleasantly. "She looks so cute."
Nagisa's father nodded, also smiling.
"Okay, now to figure out where we're going to go!" Kayano said as the camera shifted to Irina.
"Yeah! Where should we start?" Karma asked.
Bitch-sensei smirked. "What children. Aschool trip is too little, too late to someone like me who's been all over the world." She arrogantly flipped her hair. "
Mrs. Kataoka groaned. "No one asked!"
"She's pretty childish for a supposed "grown-up"." Mrs. Terasaka rolled her eyes.
"Then stay home, Professor Bitch," Maehara said casually, vaporizing the blonde's arrogance.
Many laughed at this.
"I love how they keep calling her 'Professor Bitch.'" Mr. Yoshida chuckled.
"Yeah, it's suits her." Mrs Sugino laughed.
"Keep the garden watered, 'kay?" Okano said without turning to her.
The laughter grew.
"Hey, where should we go on Day 2?" Okano asked her group mates.
"Maybe start in Higashiyama?" Kataoka suggested.
"Think how assassination would fit in," Maehara remarked.
"But this route's more fun!"
Irina blanched as she watched them chat among themselves. She glared and her eye twitched.
"What the—?!" She angrily drew out her gun and aimed it at them. "Don't you leave me out of your exciting plans!"
"The hell?!" Mr. Fuwa jerked back in shock.
"What is wrong with her?!" Mr. Horibe's eyes bulged.
"Many things!" Mrs. Kimura answered, glaring at the screen.
"Argh! Look, do you want to come or don't you?!" Maehara asked in irritation as he glared at her.
"Shut up! I suppose I have no choice but to go along!" The blonde finally decided.
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Maehara buried her head in her hands.
"So immature." Mrs. Hayami scoffed.
"So now they're traveling with that bitch?" Mrs. Muramatsu narrowed her eyes. "Wonderful." She scoffed.
Korosensei opened the door and the students turned to look at him. He had several thick books. "One for each of you!"
The parents blanched.
"What are they?" Isogai asked.
"School trip guidebooks." Korosensei replied before quickly gave one to each student, startling them. They gasped at how heavy the books were.
"They're practically dictionaries!" Maehara yelled in irritation.
Every sightseeing spot illustrated, the top 100 souvenirs and travel self-defense how-to's from square one to practical use!" Korosensei flipped through the pages excitedly. "I stayed up all last night making them! This first edition comes with a paper craft model of Kinkakuji!" He held up the aforementioned model.
"Just how psyched are you for this?!" Mahara snapped.
"This guy…" Nagisa's father was at loss for words.
"He seriously wrote all these the night before?" Mr. Chiba was stunned.
Mr. Kurahashi shrugged. "Well, he moves at Mach 20."
'3-E is the assassination classroom.' Nagisa's group was shown planning their route.' Even I was psyched for this class trip, which would make our days even more jam-packed than usual.' Nagisa was grinning happily at the screen.
Nagisa's father smiled fondly at the sight of his son's happiness.
Hiromi smiled as well. 'No wonder he begged me to let him stay in E Class.'
Mrs. Hara smiled warmly. "He's so adorable."
"Baby." Mrs. Kurahashi cupped her cheeks together.
The next scene showed the train station. E Class watched the main campus students board the train.
"Whoa…" Sugaya said. "The A through D classes are riding first-class!"
"We're the only ones in coach. Like always." Nakamura sighed.
The adults collectively sighed.
"Do they never catch a break?" Mr. Horibe wondered.
"It's like they can't go five minutes without bullying E Class." Mr. Okano sighed.
Ono turned to them, a smug smirk on his face. "Those are the rules at our school—and they were explained once you came here."
"No, they weren't." Mr. Hayami narrowed his eyes. "All we knew was that E Class was the lowest grade."
"Same here." Mr. Yada nodded. "Nothing about harsh discrimination."
"Well, duh!" Mrs. Akabane said. "Like they'd tell you the entire school, including the teachers would bully a bunch of 15-year-olds."
"We're suing this school." Mr. Kataoka told his wife, who nodded.
Takeda and Tanaka poked their heads out of the train.
"Students with exceptional grades get priority use of school funds." Takeda grinned smugly.
Tanaka ate a snack and smiled smugly at them. "Oh, dear—is that the stench of poverty I smell?"
"Oh come on!" Mr. Muramatsu face palmed.
"Why do they keep appearing out of nowhere?" Mr. Hayami narrowed his eyes.
"Do pardon me." Irina stepped forward. Ono and his students turned to look at her. The camera panned to various parts of Irina's clothes before it showed the entire thing. The three males were stunned.
"Greetings, students." Irina stopped in front of her students.
Mr. Okajima was already drooling. Mr. Kimura had a nosebleed while Mr. Mimura was turned on
"Honestly." Mrs. Kimura rolled her eyes.
"This woman…" Mrs. Hayami pinched the bridge of her nose.
Mrs. Yada looked down angrily, feeling her jealously resurface.
Mr. Kanzaki turned from the screen.
"Bitch as she is, you can't deny she's got some wicked fashion sense." Mrs. Nakamura commented, admiring the clothes.
"Professor Bitch, what's with the Hollywood starlet look?" Maehara questioned as the rest of the class stared at her unfazed.
Irina chuckled and removed her shades. "It's a given for any assassin who uses her womanly wiles." The students were listening attentively, particularly Yada."A good woman doesn't neglect fashion just because she's traveling."
"I agree!" Mr. Okajima suddenly said, lust clouding his eyes.
"But you're not a woman, dear." Mrs. Okajimasaid in a sweet tone that was laced with venom, making the poor man quiver
"You stick out like a sore thumb. Go change. That's not what a teacher chaperone looks like." Karasuma ordered, standing behind her.
'Precisely.' Mr. Kanzaki thought. 'Dressing like that in front of her students…'
Irina turned to him with a carefree smile. "Don't be so strict, Karasuma! These brats are going on a grown-up trip—"
"Take it off. Now." Karasuma said darkly, looking livid.
This scared some people.
Irina was taken aback.
Mrs. Akabane burst out laughing.
"At least Mr. Karasuma's with them." Mrs. Chiba said.
"Yeah, he's the only sane teacher." Mr. Yukimura said.
The next scene showed the two teachers riding together on the train. Karasuma was sitting calmly in his seat while Irina, who was
now dressed modestly, was weeping sadly and looking down.
The parents laughed.
"Poor thing." Mrs. Maehara clutched her sides.
"She still looks hot." Mr. Okajiama sighed dreamily.
Isogai and Kataoka sweat dropped at the sight.
"Who's chaperoning who?" Kataoka was legitimately confused.
"Good question." Mrs. Takebayashi nodded.
"Guess she's a little disconnected from regular people, seeing as she's only ever killed rich guys before." Isogai said.
The next scenes showed the students together. Some were chatting, others playing, and some were simply quiet.
The parents observed their children.
"They seem to be having a good time." Mrs. Fuwa smiled.
"Yeah, with the principal's crazy policy, it's nice they're still smiling." Her husband said.
Nagisa's group was searching for Korosensei.
"Huh? The train's left the station…but where's Korosensei?" Sugino asked.
As if on cue, the octopus's face was shown on the window, startling them.
"The Hell?!" Mr. Sugino jerked back in shock.
"Why are you stuck to the window, Korosensei?!" Nagisa asked horrified.
"Well, I was buying snacks in the station and was late boarding, so I'll tag along like this till the next station. Oh, and don't worry—" Korosensei camouflaged himself, his robe and bag were the only thing visible.
"This camouflage just makes it look like my clothes and luggage are stuck onto the train."
Nearly everyone face palmed. Mrs. Akabane was still laughing.
"That's not normal in the slightest!" Nagisa snapped.
"How was he not discovered sooner!" Mrs. Terasaka groaned in frustration.
"I love this guy!" Mrs. Akabane clutched her sides as her laughter continued.
"He's like a child." Mr. Kataoka said.
"A man child." His wife corrected. "Assuming he's an actual adult."
The next scene showed a disguised Korosensei inside the train. He sat down and rubbed his head, looking exhausted.
"It sure is tiring, trying not to stand out while traveling."
"Then don't bring such an enormous suitcase." Okajima told him.
"You already stand out enough," Hinano frowned.
"How many stuff does he need for a two-night trip?" Mr. Maehara raised an eyebrow.
Rio smiled and leaned forward. "Isn't it iffy, a state secret being so obvious out in public?"
Korosensei jumped and blanched, causing his fake nose to fall. "And close up, that disguise won't fool anyone," The girl added.
Sugaya was shown crafting something before blowing away the dust and turning to his teacher. "Korosensei."
"Here." He threw the object to the octopus, which turned out to be a fake nose. He held the two noses side by side. "First we'll fix that droopy nose of yours."
Korosensei put on the new nose. "Wow! What a fantastic fit!"
Sugaya smiled toying with his equipment. Mimura was impressed "I carved it so it'll fit the roundness and spirit of your face. Making stuff like that is a specialty of mine."
The Sugayas smiled proudly at their son.
"Wow, that's some talent." Mr. Sugino was amazed.
"That's amazing, Sugaya!" Isogai said in astonishment. Sugaya grinned at the compliment. "Crazy how something so small makes him look so much more natural."
Kayano watched them and chuckled. "You always see new sides of people when you travel together."
Nagisa nodded and put one card down. "Yeah, and depending how this trip turns out," The camera showed Kanzaki holding her cards. Next to her, Sugino was smiling at her, a blush adorning his cheeks. "Who knows what true colors will be revealed?"
"Oh ho, what do we have here?" Mrs. Akabane leaned closer, an amused grin plastered on her face.
Other parents also looked amused…except for Mr. Kanzaki, who was glaring at the screen in disapproval.
"Hey, I'm going on a drink run. Who wants what?" Kanzaki turned to her friends. Sugino panicked and quickly turned away.
Some chuckled at this.
The Suginos sighed in amusement.
Mrs. Kanzaki giggled while her husband just narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, I'll come too!" Okuda nervously held up her hand, Karma smiled at her.
"Me too!" Kayano cheerfully said and got up.
Mr. Yukimura smiled at the sight of his daughter being happy.
The three girls walked out of the cabin, chatting happily among their selves.
Kanzaki bumped into someone. "Oh, excuse me." She apologized.
The three girls kept their heads down as they walked towards the other cabin. Once the door was closed, a group of boys stepped forward, looking their way.
Mr. Okuda frowned. "Who are they?"
"What school're they from?" One guy asked.
"Probably Kunugigaoka."
"Wow, so a whole bunch of super-smart lads and ladies, eh?" one guy smirked as he stared at the door.
"Uh…" Mrs. Isogai was growing uncomfortable, as did the other parents.
"I don't like this." Nagisa's father watched with wary.
Another guy came into view. "But that one didn't seem too special, did she?"
The camera panned on to Kanzaki who was still visible from the door's window.
Mrs. Kanzaki's widened in terror and worry. Mr. Kanzaki narrowed his eyes, not liking how this was going.
"Ah shit." Mr. Nakamura was sweating.
"Language." His wife chided.
"What? I'm an adult!"
"Say…" The guy, Ryuki, played with Kanzaki's notebook before smirking. "How about we teach 'em a lesson in Kyoto?"
"You know what? Yeah, shit." Mrs. Nakamura said.
'Poor girl.' Mrs. Chiba thought. 'I hope nothing horrible happens.'
The students arrived at Kyoto. The main campus kids arrived at a luxurious hotel while E Class arrived at a traditional inn.
Korosensei was shown looking ill and deflating. Nagisa took notes.
"So he gets all sick and groggy on bullet trains and buses?" Mimura sweat dropped.
A note card appeared: "Korosensei's Weak Point #8: Prone to motion sickness"
"Same." Mr. Mimura laughed. "Hence why I hate trains."
"But he moves around a lot." Mr. Yoshida pointed out. "How can he get motion sickness when the guy's always going at Mach 20?"
"Well, you get motion sickness when using means of transportation." Mr. Kurahashi said.
"Actually, it is quite confusing." Mrs. Okuda said. "Motion sickness is caused by repeated movements that occur during travel. This is because your sensory organs send mixed messages to the brain."
"Wait, what?" Mr. Mimura looked confused.
"For example, you see something, but you hear something else, but you also feel something different. Your brain is unable to handle these mixed messages, which causes nausea and dizziness."
Mrs. Takebayashi nodded. "That's right."
"However, we've seen Korosensei fly while correcting exams and move around a lot. We've also seen him sitting on the jets chasing him."
"Maybe not for a long time, though." Mr. Okuda said.
"Yes, but if waxes the jets like we've seen in Episode 1, then that means he kept moving around frequently around the jet." Mrs. Okuda stated. "Don't you think he should've gotten motion sickness back then?"
"Maybe it's different for him." Mrs. Fuwa proposed. "Maybe as a result of moving at Mach 20, he can't handle traveling at a slower speed."
"That's a possibility." Mr. Takebayashi said.
"Let's just agree Korosensei is confusion personified and continue watching already!" Mrs. Akabane said in irritation.
The Okudas, Takebayashis, and Mrs. Fuwa were annoyed by the interruption.
"No offense, but I agree with her." Mr. Yukimura said in a much politer tone. "All this speculation is making me question reality."
"This whole experience is making me question reality!" Mrs. Maehara said.
"Are you all right? Why don't you lie down in your room?" Okano asked as she, Isogai, and Kataoka tried stabbing him, but he moved away.
Mr. Muramatsu burst out laughing. Are you kidding me?!"
"So caring." Mrs. Hara laughed.
"No need to worry. I'll just pop back to Tokyo. I forgot my pillow." He said tiredly.
"All that luggage and you still forgot something?!" Mimura cried in disbelief.
A note card appeared: "Korosensei's Weak Point #9: Can't sleep without his own pillow"
Mr. Maehara's eye twitched. "Oh come on! That's supposed to be a weakness?!"
"More like he's just picky." Mr. Sugino sweat dropped.
The scene showed Kayano looking over Kanzaki who was anxiously searching her bag. Well, Kanzaki? Did you find the itinerary?"
"Nnno…" She shook her head sadly.
Everyone was worried again.
"You're so earnest, Kanzaki. I admire your putting that itinerary together all by yourself," Korosensei praised as he continued dodging the knife attacks. "But never fear. As long as you have one of my handmade guidebooks, everything will be fine." He held up a copy of the guidebook.
"But we wrote up an itinerary because we didn't want to lug those around!" Okajima and Maehara said in unison, sweat dropping.
"Practicality please." Mrs. Okano nodded.
"Seriously, who goes on a field trip lugging those around?" Mr. Terasaka frowned.
"I know I put it in my bag..."Did I drop it somewhere?" Kanzaki wondered.
The scene faded to show a hotel called "Hotel Nightmare". The students were not listening to their teacher.
"Hotel Nightmare?" Mrs. Hara's brow furrowed. "What kind of name is that?"
"Oh, and tomorrow's a free-study period day in Kyoto," a teacher said before his voice grew louder. "Shut up and listen! Just behave until this school trip's over, okay?"
Mr. Takebayashi rolled his eyes. "Unbelievable."
Mrs. Yada frowned in worry. "They look a bit dangerous."
"You mean a lot?" Mrs. Maehara raised an eyebrow.
"Well, at least we know which high school we're not sending our kids to." Mrs. Yoshida commented.
"Yeah." Mr. Yoshida said.
"No way will those brats be doing all this tomorrow..." Ryuki grinned evilly, reading Kanzaki's itinerary. The scene faded to black.
The Kanzakis were growing more worried with each passing moment.
"This isn't turning good." Mr. Mimura was sweating.
"What's he gonna do?" Mr. Yada watched with worry.
Mrs. Hazama was shaking.
It opened to show Group 4 in the streets of Kyoto.
"Nagisa, this might be a good assassination spot." Sugino gestured to some buildings.
"Can the snipers see it?" Nagisa asked.
"This is one weird school trip." Kayano commented.
"You bet it is. But it's fun." Nagisa pointed out.
"Fun he said." Mr. Kataoka remarked dryly.
"Well, it does seem so." Mrs. Yada smiled faintly.
"We're here in Kyoto and all—I want green tea warabimochi dumplings!" Kayano exclaimed loudly, much to Nagisa's amusement.
Some laughed in amusement, including Mr. Yukimura.
"Dammit, now I want green tea warabimochi dumplings." Mr. Yoshida grumbled.
"I can wipe up a nice batch afterwards if you want." Mrs. Hara smiled and turned to Mrs. Yoshida. "Would you like to help?"
The woman smiled. "Sure."
"Then why don't we put some poison in them?" Okuda suggested
"What for?!" Kayano jerked back in horror.
"Korosensei has a major sweet tooth." Okuda reminded.
Karma smiled. "Nice. Poison him with famous local treats."
Kayano turned to him with the same horrified expression. "What a waste of good dumpling!"
"It is!" Mr. Muramatsu and Mr. Yoshida yelled in unison.
"If only there was a poison that actually worked on him..." Kanzaki held her chin in thought.
Sugino stretched. "Y'know, I wanted to forget about assassination on this trip."
Various images showed several places in Kyoto. "I mean, look at these sights! What does any of this have to do with assassination?"
"Um…a lot?" Mr. Nakamura raised an eyebrow.
"You'd be surprised." Nagisa said as they stood in front of a Inoshikacho Sushi-Go-Round.
'Here marks where Ryoma Sakamoto and Shintaro Nakaoka met with disaster.' was engraved on a stone by the wall.
"Ryoma Sakamoto... You mean—" Okuda said.
"Yeah: This is where Omiya was, the inn where Sakamoto was assassinated in 1867." Karma said while images of the assassination appeared on screen.
"Oh yeah." Mr. Maehara snapped his fingers. "I keep forgetting about that."
"And walk a little further you'll be at Honnoji Temple, though, it's location's shifted a little over time." Nagisa said smiling. He had the thick guidebook in hand.
"Oh, right…Nobunaga Oda' death was a kind of assassination, too." Kayano said.
"In just this one kilometer, some big-name assassinations went down. This city's always been the heart of Japan; well, it's also the mecca of assassinations." Nagisa said.
"You know, it's a strange coincidence they went to Kyoto of all places." Mr. Sugaya rubbed his chin.
"Maybe the government arranged it and the school administration just agreed." Mr. Fuwa suggested.
"I doubt it." Mr. Hara said. "Kunugigaoka's always had field trips to Kyoto. It's just a coincidence."
"A really big coincidence." Mr. Akabane commented.
"I get it. Now that you mention it, this is turnin' out to be a real assassination vacation." Sugino said as they walked down the streets of Kyoto.
Nagisa looked up. 'All those targets were people who had a huge effect on the world.' He pictured a giant Korosensei fused with the Kinkakuji. 'The Earth destroying Korosensei was a textbook target.'
Mrs. Akabane laughed at the image. "I can imagine him doing that."
"Nagisa seems to have a big imagination." Her husband said.
"Next up is Yasaka Shrine." Okuda said quietly.
"Yep!"Kayano said brightly.
"Oh, C'mon, let's take a rest. I want some sugary Kyoto Coffee." Karma said in boredom.
"Stop making me hungry." Mr. Yoshida grumbled.
"Yeah, let's have some!" Kayano held her hand up in agreement.
They were unaware someone was following them.
Everyone was on edge.
"Is he following them?!" Mr. Okuda was alarmed.
"Damn, this is getting worse." Mr. Nakamura started sweating.
The Kanzakis glanced at each other fearfully.
"Wow, Gion is practically deserted this far inside." Kayano remarked as they walked inside a narrow alley in Gion.
Mrs. Hazama paled. "Oh, no."
"Why are they in there?!" Mrs. Maehara freaked out.
"Yeah, with all these places that turn away newcomers, no one much comes here just to wander around, and you don't need a nice unobstructed view. That's why I put it on my ideal course: it's perfect for an assassination." Kanzaki said.
"And kidnapping!" Mr. Kataoka clutched his hair.
Mrs. Kanzaki clutched her hands fearfully. 'Yukiko, why?!'
"That's our Kanzaki You've really done your homework!" Kayano praised. "This is where we'll do the deed, then!"
Someone stepped out from the shadows. ""Perfect" is right."
Some of the high school gang blocked their way.
"Why are ya walkin' around somewhere that's ripe for a kiddnappin'?" One boy grinned nastily.
"I can watch!" Mrs. Yada covered her eyes, Mrs. Hazama following suit.
They turned around to find themselves surrounded. Ryuki was smirking evilly at them.
"That's…" Mr. Terasaka paled. "That's a lot of guys."
Mr. Muramatsu gulped. "I'm scard."
They were still surrounded.
"Something tells me you fellows are here for sightseeing." Karma was smiling calmly, not intimidated in the least.
There was a series of groans.
"Of course Karma isn't the least bit concerned!" Mrs. Maehara yelled in frustration.
"Well, we ain't here for you. Hand over the girls and get lo—" Karma silenced him by slamming him to the ground.
"Ha ha! Yes!" Mrs. Akabane pumped her firsts in the air.
"For once, I'm okay with him being violent." Mrs. Kimura smiled slightly.
"See, Nagisa? Fighting's no problem at all when there's no witnesses." Karma said casually, turning back to Nagisa.
"W-Whoa!" Nagisa pointed forward in fear.
"I'm gonna stab ya!" Another larger boy yelled as he marched over.
Some people yelped at the sudden appearance of the knife.
Quickly, Karma grabbed a nearby red cloth and threw it at the boy's face and knocked him down on the ground.
"Stab me? As if." The boy scoffed.
"Don't get cocky." Mr. Kimura frowned.
"No! What-!" He turned to see Kanzaki and Kayano had been grabbed by the boys behind them. "Don't!"
Mr. Yukimura and Yukiko's parents were horrified, as were the rest of the parents.
"Get it now?" Ryuki knocked Karma from behind.
Karma hit the floor and quickly shielded his head once the boys started kicking him.
Mrs. Hara gasped and covered her mouth. Mrs. Kurahashi turned away from the screen.
The Akabanes were horrified.
"Not good! Not good!" Mr. Muramatsu was shaking.
"Please be alright." Mrs. Takebayashi whispered as she continued watching.
"Karma!" Nagisa yelled.
"Hey! Knock it off!" Sugino rushed in to help his friend, but was kicked back by one of the guys. He fell back towards Nagisa, knocking him on the ground. Sugino clutched his side in pain.
"No!" Mrs. Sugino covered her mouth in shock. Mr. Sugino looked angry.
Hiromi yelped. Nagisa's father was watching in disbelief.
"Get the car!" Ryuki ordered as Kanzaki and Kayano were dragged away.
Mr. Kanzaki growled as he watched his daughter get dragged away.
"That'll teach you junior high-kids to mess with us." He grinned evilly at the boys of Group 4.
'Appearing right before our eyes was a pack of high-schoolers.' Nagisa gazed up warily at the high-schoolers surrounding him.'It was an assault by mystery creatures a full size larger than us.' A bruised Karma was unconscious on the floor.
One high-schooler punched Nagisa in the face before the screen faded to black.
The parents were frozen in shock and fear.
"Nagisa! Sugino!" Okuda's voice was heard. Nagisa opened his eyes.
"Everyone okay?" She regarded them with worry.
"She got away!" Mrs. Isogai yelled happily.
The Okudas sighed in relief.
"Oh, good. My baby's okay." Mrs. Okuda put a hand on her chest as she calmed down.
Sugino was visibly in pain. Nagisa sat up and met Okuda's eyes. "Thank goodness you're all right, Okuda..."
"I'm sorry—I just ran and hid." Okuda said guiltily, eyes closed in shame.
"She did the right thing." Mr. Kataoka relaxed.
Mrs. Mimura nodded. "At least one girl is alright."
"No, you did the right thing." Karma said and Okuda turned to him.
"They're no strangers to crime, those guys." He rubbed his head. " Even if we report them, it won't be over that quickly. Although..." He smirked, clearly pissed off. "I'd like to handle their execution myself."
The majority felt shivers down their spines.
"Yes! Give 'em a good whopping!" Mrs. Akabane shook her fist.
"Yeah, because he stood a chance the first time." Mrs. Kataoka remarked dryly.
Mrs. Akabane tried to think of a good comeback. She opened her mouth to refute, but then Mrs. Kanzaki spoke first.
"Ritsu?"
"Here!" The AI replied in her usual cheerfulness.
"Please tell us everyone will be fine at the end." The woman pleaded. "Please?"
Ritsu smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, everything will be alright."
"And the two girls?" Mrs. Kurahashi. "Nothing…horrible is going to happen to them right?"
The adults shuddered. They knew what the word 'horrible' implied. Mr. Kanzaki looked at the digital girl almost pleadingly.
"I assure you nothing happened to Kanzaki-san and Kayano-san that day." Ristu said. "If you want I can tell you what happens before you continue watching."
"Please!" Mr. Yukimura said desperately.
"Yes, tell us!" Mrs. Hazama agreed.
"Well, before the boys can do anything, the rest of Group 4, plus Korosensei, arrive and beat up the high-schoolers." Ritsu smiled. "They win and save Kanzaki-san and Kayano-san."
That put the parents at ease, even if it was a bit.
Mrs. Kanzaki smiled gratefully at her. "Thank you."
Ristsu returned the smile and continued the video.
"But...how are we gonna find them?" Sugino asked.
The scene panned to Nagisa before it showed the car parked near a shed.
"I called up our buddies." Ryuki's voice was heard. The high schoolers were gathered around "Got everything ready for a little commemorative photo shoot, too. Make as much noise as you want—no one'll hear you here."
Kanzaki and Kayano were shown tied up. Kanzaki was terrified, while Kayano was glaring at them.
Mrs. Kanzaki gasped. Mr. Yukimura was horrified while Mr. Kanzaki looked like he was plotting murder.
"Oh God!" Mrs. Chiba was shivering.
"It's fine, it's gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright." Mr. Yada comforted his shaking wife.
"You. I thought I'd seen you somewhere before." Ryuki took out his phone and pressed a few buttons. "This is you, right? At a Tokyo arcade last summer?" He lowered the phone to Kanzaki's eye level. Kanzaki looked up and she and Kayano gasped.
A photo of a very different-looking Kanzaki was displayed on the phone.
"…"
The Kanzakis had their jaws dropped.
"That's…her?" Mr. Mimura's eyes bulged.
Mrs. Akabane rubbed her chin. "She looks good."
Mrs. Hazama could not believe her eyes. 'But…but she's sweet and innocent.'
"Well, that's…" Mr. Nakamura said. "…unexpected."
"I told my buddy to let me know if he found me the right girl. Had plans to kidnap you, but then lost sight of you." Kanzaki looked down in shame. Kayano was still looking at the photo in shock.
Mrs. Kurahashi bit her lips. 'It's a good thing she got away then.'
"Disgusting." Mrs. Kimura glared. "Those guys."
"We're gonna track 'em down once we get out of here." Her husband said.
"Who knew you were a student at that famous junior high? But look, I get it. The higher you are, the deeper you wanna fall." Kanzaki gasped when Ryuki leaned in her face. "Well, from now until night fall, the professor of ruin will teach you alllll night about that." He said frighteningly.
Hiromi reeled back in fright and disgust.
"We're getting those punks." Mrs. Kimura's glare intensified.
Kanzaki looked down dully.
'Yukiko…' Mrs. Kanzaki thought worriedly.
The Kanzaks were caught up in their worry, they failed to notice Mrs. Akabane glancing briefly at them.
The scene showed the guidebook., which was opened to a page that said: "There's a tendency to let down your guard while traveling. Stay well aware of your surroundings to prevent being carried off by a baddie."
""When a Group Member Has Been Abducted"…" Sugino read the title. "What normal guidebook would have that eventuality?!"
"Really?" Mr. Chiba sweat dropped before sighing. "I guess in this case, it's a good idea."
"Korosensei is insanely diligent. He's got everything in here." Nagisa remarked as he read the guidebook. "Even "Recovering From the Shock of Seeing Souvenirs Bought in Kyoto Being Sold in a Tokyo Department Store'."
The answer appeared on screen: "A. You didn't buy souvenirs; you bought memories and experiences."
"What else did he think of?" Sugino asked in wonder.
"Eh…?"
The parents blanched.
"Cheering Up Your Lonely Self After Seeing a Lovey-Dovey Couple on the Banks of the Kamo River," Nagisa read another chapter title.
The answer was: "A. Tell yourself you're a member of the Heian aristocracy, who hid their love affairs from the public eye. Now there's nothing unusual about you being all alone there."
"That's none of his business!" Sugino closed his eyes in irritation.
"What the hell is this?!" Mr. Maehara yelled in frustration.
"I feel like he wrote these guidebooks based on his experiences." Mrs. Kataoka rolled her eyes. "Who writes that kind of stuff to middle-schoolers?!"
"Love affairs." Mrs. Okano wrinked her nose in disgust.
Okuda covered her mouth after letting out a small laugh.
Nagisa smiled. "It's calmed us down, anyway. Everything we need to do is right there."
The scene returned to the cabin where the boys were laughing together.
"That picture...So even our earnest Kanzaki went through a phase. Didn't see that coming." Kayano said gently.
"I'm sure none of us saw that coming." Mrs. Sugaya commented.
"Yeah." Kanzaki nodded and looked down, smiling sadly.
A flashback showed Kanzaki looking down as her father berated her over her grades. "My dad was really strict-always after me to get a good education and a prestigious title."
Mr. Kanzaki tensed once he saw himself on screen.
"I wanted to get away from all that," An image showed Kanzaki, in her disguise, playing video games while some boys looked over. "So, I'd take off my famous school's uniform, change my look and hang out where no one knew me."
Mr. Kanzaki gritted his teeth. 'Don't blame me for your idiotic actions!'
Mrs. Kanzaki glanced up worriedly at her husband.
"I can relate." Mrs. Akabane had her hands behind her neck as she watched. "I pretty much went through the same thing when I was her age."
"You mean wasting time and letting your grades slip?" Mrs. Kataoka raised an eyebrow at the woman. "I can see that."
Mrs. Akabane glared at her. "No! I mean having overbearing parents telling me what to do and think they can control me."
"W-We weren't trying to control her." Mrs. Kanzaki said defensively. "We just wanted what's best for her, that's all."
"And in doing so, you stressed her out." Mrs. Akabane picked her nails. "Look, wanting your kid to do well in one thing, but being constantly on their back is something else."
Mr. Kanzaki took offense to that. "Oh, so we should have just let her do whatever she wants like you do to your son?"
Mrs. Akabane glared at the man. "Yes. Giving my kid some space didn't affect his grades."
Mr. Kanzaki was about to retort, when Mrs. Maehara spoke up first.
"I get what you're saying, but honey; you're the last person to lecture others on parenting." She regarded the parenting with a pointed look. "Don't forget your son has some serious violent tendencies."
Mrs. Akabane gritted her teeth in frustration. "I'm just saying I understand what that girl meant! My strict parents wouldn't let breathe until I finally snapped and gave 'em a piece of my mind!" She stubbornly crossed her arms. "That's why I'm lenient with Karma and let him do whatever the heck he wants!"
Hiromi was suddenly reminded of her own strict parents. 'She does have a point. I still hate my parents to this day.'
"Even harming other?!" Mrs. Maehara snapped.
Mrs. Isogai placed a hand on her friend's shoulder to calm her down. She then turned to Mrs. Akabane. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with being lenient with your child." She chose her words carefully. "But too much leniency isn't good either."
"It's all about balance." Mrs. Hara nodded. "But finding that balance can be tricky, especially with your first child."
Ritsu watched them from the screen. She didn't like how things were getting tense, so she played the video, surprising the parents.
"How dumb can you get? The only title all that playing around ever got me was "End Class.""
Her father huffed. 'At least she acknowledges her stupidity.'
'You aren't wrong, kid.' Mrs. Akabane thought stubbornly. 'Strict parents are the worst.'
Kanzaki looked down. "I don't where I belong anymore."
Mrs. Kanzaki regarded her daughter sadly.
"Whyncha hang out with us?" Ryuki leaned to her eye level. "We're totally anti-titles, here! We trash those elitist bastards, or maybe just put back the way they were, like?" An image showed a woman accusing a man of harassment. "Oh, yeah, we done puh-lenty of that kinda stuff." The boys had horrifying grins on their faces.
Everyone was disturbed by this.
"Animals" Mrs. Hayami glared.
Mrs. Hazama looked like she was ready to pass out.
Kayano glared. "You're the worst." She said in a low voice and looked away.
Ryuki's smile vanished. He suddenly grabbed her by her neck and lifted
her up. "You some kind of elitist, lookin' down at us like that? Huh?" Kanzaki watched in horror while Kayano struggled.
Mr. Yukimura felt his anger flare. 'Don't you touch her!'
Hiromi watched in fear.
"Come on! Where's the rescue?!" Mr. Okajima bit his nails anxiously.
"I'll pull you down to our level, all right!" Ryuki threw her on the couch. "Now, when you get back to your rooms, you stay real cool and say, "We were just having some fun singing karaoke." Do that and no one gets hurt." Kanzaki looked at him fearfully while Kayano glared. "Let's get back together once we're all back in Tokyo, eh? Maybe while we reminisce over our fun vacation photos..." He leered at them, wearing an evil grin on his face.
"Sick." Mr. Nakamura watched with disgust.
Mr. Kanzaki looked down. 'Bastards! I'm not letting them get away with this!'
Mr. Yukimura took a deep breath. 'It's alright. Ritsu said they'll be saved before anything horrible happens.'
Kayano was worried while Kanzaki looked down in defeat.
"Oh, that's them." Ryuki turned once he heard the door open. "Our photographers have arr—" He gasped once he saw one of his guys beaten up. The boy was dropped to the floor.
"School Trip Guidebook, page 1243: What to Do When a Group Member Has Been Abducted," Nagisa read.
The parents relaxed and smiled.
"Yes! Beat 'em up!" Mrs. Akabane was back to pumping her fists in the air again.
"Finally." Mrs. Terasaka sighed in relief.
Mr. Yukimura and the Kanzakis smiled.
"If you have no leads on the perpetrator, first use the content of your conversation and any verbal quirks to determine is he/she is from the local area. If not, and he/she was wearing a school uniform, see page 1334." Nagisa flipped through the book as Group 4 stepped into the light. "You may be up against another student on a school trip, stirring up trouble." He smiled as the camera showed Karma and Sugino ready to fight. Okuda was hiding behind Karma.
"You're here!" Kayano smiled in relief.
Ryuki came into view, glaring angrily at the uninvited guests. "I-it's you! How'd you know we were here?!"
Nagisa continued reading. "Being unfamiliar with the area, the perp can't go too far after the abduction, but will choose a secluded spot nearby. If this is the case, see page 134." He showed them the map. "My Mach 20 birds-eye-view map of abductor hideouts may help."
Kanzaki looked in amazement.
The high-schoolers were stunned.
Mr. Sugino whistled. "Wow. That Korosensei really does think of everything."
'Guess he's not so bad after all.' Mrs. Kataoka thought.
Mrs. Kanzaki smiled. 'My daughter's saved.'
"That guidebook's amazing! That's a perfect way to foil an abduction!" Sugino said.
"I guess we should take it with us after all!" Karma commented nonchalantly.
"That's no guidebook I ever heard of!" The gang yelled in disbelief.
Everyone chuckled at their reactions.
Ryuki gritted his teeth.
"So? What's it going to be, fellows?" Karma asked coolly, head low. "You've already done so much! You'll be spending the rest of your trip..." He lifted up his face to show them the menacing look in his eyes. "...in the hospital."
"YES!" Mrs. Akabane yelled in excitement. "Retribution Time has come!"
"I'll admit, I'm pretty excited." Mrs. Maehara smirked. "Hope he cracks their skulls."
"Or kick 'em where the sun doesn't shine!" Mrs. Kimura grinned evilly.
Most of the men shuddered when thinking about the agonizing pain.
"Damn, woman." Mr. Mimura paled.
"What?! After everything we've seen so far, that's the least thing they should." The former cop shouted.
"Honey, calm-" Mr. Kimura tried to say.
"No! I don't care if I'm a grown woman who wants to inflict the worst damage onto a bunch of high-schoolers!" She spat. "Because they don't deserve to be called human!"
"You know what, I agree!" Mrs. Fuwa suddenly said. "I hope they get clobbered until they can't move anymore!"
"Hopefully." Mr. Maehara agreed. "That'll teach 'em."
More of the parents agreed with them while some looked a little disturbed at their malice.
Ryuki glared back at him, but then smirked once he heard someone coming. Okuda looked back once she heard it as well.
"Hmph! You junior high brats, actin' all tough..." He said. "Those'll be the buddies I called." Nagisa and Sugino looked back worriedly.
"Oh come on!" Mr. Okajima groaned. "We don't need any more trouble!"
The rest watched apprehensively.
"They're the worst badasses you Goody Two-Shoes have ever—."
The "badasses" were knocked out and were dangled by a yellow tentacle.
"The w-worst-whaaat?!" Ryuki freaked out.
"Yes!" Mr. Yoshida rejoiced.
"Perverted octopus to the rescue!" Mr. Muramatsu cried in joy.
"No badasses here. I took care of them all." Korosensei said, wearing a black, transparent cloth on his face. His eyes were glowing red.
"Korosensei!" Nagisa and his group happily turned to their teacher.
"Sorry, I'm late. I was letting you handle this."Koro-sensei dropped the high-schoolers. "While I searched elsewhere with a fine-tooth comb."
"And, uh, why are you hiding your face like some stagehand," Nagisa asked.
"This is an act of violence, and I'm afraid you'll associate this face with me being violent." Korosensei answered simply.
A note card appeared: "Korosensei's Weak Point #10: Worried about keeping up appearances."
"You know, no!" Mr. Takebayashi face palmed. "I don't buy half of those so-called 'Weak Points'!"
"Ditto." Mr. Mimura agreed.
"Nagisa, you had the guidebook, so I could be alerted right away." He gave Okuda, Karma, and Sugino their guidebooks.
Ryuki glared in disbelief. "Th-this is your teacher? Bullshit! Who's he think he is, lookin' like that?!" Ryuki brought out a glass bottle, startling Kanzaki and Kayano. The boys attacked.
Mrs. Akabane grinned wickedly. "Oh, now they're in for it!"
""Bullshit," you say?" In a flash, Korosensei twisted their necks. "That's my line."
"Yes! Beat the bastards!" Mrs. Fuwa shouted happily.
"Can everyone please calm down!" Mr. Kataoka frowned.
"But this is so satisfying to watch those punks get what they deserve!" Mrs. Maehara said.
Mr. Kanzaki smirked evilly. 'It is indeed.'
"What'd he do? He's too fast to see!" Ryuki said with some difficulty as he fell to the floor.
Mr. Yukimura smirked. 'Not so tough now, huh?'
A Pitch black Korosensei opened his mouth, his eyes glowing red in rage. "Don't be touching my students with your filthy hands, slow enough for a fly to land on them." He growled.
"You tell 'em!" Mrs. Akabane was practically vibrating with excitement now.
Slowly, Ryuki stood up and glared at the octopus. "So even the teachers are special at elite schools...You're looking' down on us 'cause of your rank, aren't you?" He held up his knife. "Makin' fun of me for bein' a stupid high-schooler!"
They attacked again. Group 4 tensed.
"Take about having major inferiority complex." Mrs. Maehara rolled her eyes.
"We're not elite." Korosensei said calmly and easily knocked them back.
Kanzaki watched. "They're students at a famous school, that's true."
He knocked two back. Two guys charged at him, but he easily grabbed them by their necks. "But they're considered the school outcasts." Korosensei slammed two boys' faces together and continued fighting the others. "Their class name is the object of discrimination." He continued fighting. "And yet,"
The longer they watched the high-schoolers getting beaten, the wider their grins became.
Ryuki glared. "They take on so many things with a positive attitude."
Ryuki charged, but Korosensei easily caught his arm. "They wouldn't drag others down with them—not like you." Ryuki gritted his teeth before he was tossed back to the ground, landing in front of the two girls.
"It has nothing to do with our school or my title," The camera panned on Kanzaki as she listened intently to Korosensei. "Be they in a clear stream or a muddy river, the fish who swim forward turn out the finest." She gasped softly, lifting her face up to the light. Her eyes widened in realization.
Mr. Kanzaki frowned. 'What does he mean by that?'
"The fish who swim forward turn out the finest." Mrs. Akabane smiled. 'The past doesn't matter so long as you keep moving forward.'
Mrs. Kanzaki thought back to her daughter's behavior after returning from the trip. 'She seemed different, but not in bad way. Is this why?'
"Now then, students, let's take care of them."Korosensei lifted up a tentacle. "We'll teach them a physical lesson on the fundamentals of school trips."
The gang stood up, eyes widening when they felt the presence behind them. Group 4 slammed the gangsters' heads with the guidebooks.
Everyone roared with laughter.
"When did they come up from behind!?" one guy choked. "And they didn't waste any time takin' out those cudgels..." An arrow pointed to Nagisa's guidebook.
"We picked…" Ryuki thought as he fell down. The screen turned black. "…the wrongest bunch to hassle…"
"You got that right, you son of a bitch!" Mrs. Akabane chuckled evilly.
The scene showed Group 4 and Korosensei outside in the sunset. Kanzaki had her back turned.
Sugino sighed in relief. "For a while there, I didn't know what was gonna happen."
"Yeah, same here." Mr. Nakamura smiled.
"If it'd been just him and me, I'm sure it would've worked out." Karma remarked nonchalantly as he stared up at the sky.
"Quit scarin' me!" Sugino reprimanded him.
Nagisa and Okuda smiled.
Mr. Terasaka sighed. "Kid doesn't change."
Mr. Akabane chuckled. 'Karma.'
"Thank goodness!" Kayano sighed in relief and turned to Kanzaki who was fixing her tie. "You okay, Kanzaki?"
Kanzaki turned to her. "Yes, fine."
The Kanzaki's still looked concerned though.
"What happened, Kanzaki?" Korosensei asked.
"Heh?" She asked.
"No one would blame you for being shaken up after that terrible event." The camera showed Kanzaki smiling happily.
She fully turned around and smiled up at him. "That's right, Korosensei! And thank you." She blushed.
"Aw…" Mrs. Kurashi gushed. "She's just so precious!"
'She is.' Mrs. Kanzaki smiled at her daughter's face.
Mr. Kanzaki smiled faintly as well. 'At least she's alright.'
"Not at all." Korosensei laughed mischievously and turned around. "Shall we get on with our school trip, then?"
"Hey, our group never got to try our assassination attempt." Sugino remembered as they walked away. Karma was trying to stab the octopus.
Everyone laughed at Karma's actions.
Mr. Kataoka face palmed, smiling slightly. "This kid…"
"It really wasn't the time or place for that." Okuda spoke with some hesitation.
"We'll just kill him tomorrow." Karma continued his stabbing.
Korosensei laughed. "I do hope you can."
'Inconveniently enough, our target is our ever-dependable teacher.' Nagisa thought before the screen faded to black.
"Well, that was one heck of an episode." Mr. Chiba commented.
"So what now?" Mrs. Kurahashi asked. "Do we continue watching or take a break?"
The adults looked around at each other.
Mr. Yoshida stretched. "How 'bout a break?"
"Please." Mrs. Okuda said.
"We can prepare lunch now." Mrs. Hara suggested.
"Yes!" Mr. Okajima smiled. "All that talk about Kyoto meals made me hungry."
"Then it's settled." Mrs. Hara nodded. "Ladies, and Muramatsu-san, to the kitchen."
As the majority of the women followed Mrs. Hara, Mrs. Kanzaki gently grabbed her husband's arm.
The man frowned, knowing what she wanted from him. "No."
"But we should talk." She said. "Especially after what we've just seen."
"Not now." He shrugged her hand away and walked towards the other men.
Mrs. Kanzaki sighed and went to the kitchen.
So I read godess bubbles's comment and I just wanna say something.
This story is NEVER going to be discontinued. Way back before posting, I had second thoughts because this fic is really long and I was worried I would never be able to complete it. As a fanfiction reader, I know how frustrating it is to like an unfinished work.
So I'll do my best to finish this story. I may take a while to post a chapter, but I will never abandon this story.
That's all, just wanted to let you all know that.
