(Shinko's POV – several days later)

I sat in Jela-bitch's class with my head on my palm as she explained ice breakers to the rest of the class and I sighed, what a pain in the ass to have to sit here and listen to this. I yawned and Jela-bitch looked at me and said "Am I boring you honey?" I sneered and said "Well, you did just say that conversation is a challenge for the best of us." She growled and I smiled as the bell went and I got up from my seat and said "See you later…professor bitch." And with that I left the classroom and made my way towards the vertical tree when a man in a black over coat and shadowed face approached the school and I frowned and advanced towards him and shouted "Excuse me!" he turned and I gasped and said "Mr Lovro, what are you doing here?" He turned towards me and said "Miss Yunmi, I hadn't expected to see you here." I smiled and said "What brings you to E class?" He smiled and said "The target, and the bounty." I smiled and said "I wish you the best of luck." He frowned and I smiled and said "He is a tricky one to kill." Lovro snorted and said "I've killed harder." I shook my head and walked away towards my perch.

I sat on the tree and watched the sky turn a burnt shade of orange and I smiled, if Lovro was in on this then we might actually stand a chance but somehow I felt a pang of hurt because if he could kill him then this would be my last time of freedom. Lovro was known throughout the world as the assassin who could kill with a bootlace if needed and has trained some of the best assassins once he retired. I lowered my head and sighed at the thought of going back and that's when Karma came over and said "Hey Shinko, something bugging you?" I shook my head and said "Just seen a famous assassin, his name is Lovro." He smiled and said "He is Jelavic's master." I gasped and said "Seriously?" He smiled and said "I wouldn't lie to you, seriously." I shook my head and said "I can't believe it…she seems too stupid for that…but maybe that's her speciality." Karma nodded in agreement and I smiled and said "What do you think will happen if none of us succeed? Do you think Koro-sensei would blow up the planet he was born on? Where would he go?" Karma pondered this for a moment and then shrugged saying "I wouldn't put it past him to blow up the planet but as to where he would go, I have no idea." I sighed and said "Who truly knows his intentions?" Karma smirked and said "I smell a plan cooking here Shinko." I smiled and said "I will need to gain access to the files from the S.A.O lab in which he was created but after that I should be able to find out everything we need."

Karma laughed and said "I'll bring my laptop in for you tomorrow; it will be easier than the school system." I nodded and he patted me on the head and walked away. I shook my head and looked out towards the horizon and the town skyline of Kunugigaoka and sighed a little and watched as Karma left the hill and walked towards the train station. I was stuck on this hill while the rest got to go home to their families and spend time with others and not stuck in the same boring building for hours on end. I walked back into the classroom and said "Ritsu, can you give me camera footage on Karma and Nagisa please?" Ritsu came to life and said "Evening Shinko, I sure can but you will have to give me two minutes." I nodded and pulled my chair over to her before smiling and then camera footage appeared and I smiled as I watched Karma stroll home and Nagisa speed walk and I sighed and said "Do you ever wish you could be with them?" She smiled and said "I uploaded myself to everyone's phones, so I am really with them." I lowered my head and said "Oh…well aren't you the lucky one." Her expression changed and she looked at me and said "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to upset you." I smiled a little and said "It's alright, I suppose this is my own fault." And with that I got up and said "Goodnight Ritsu, see you tomorrow." She nodded and I turned and left the classroom once again in hopes of actually sleeping tonight.

I entered the staffroom and checked every corner before a voice sounded saying "Nobody else but me is here dear, you don't need to worry." I looked up at Koro-sensei and smiled saying "Thank you sir, I'm just very cautious." He smiled and said "You're in here late, what's on your mind huh?" I sat at the table and ate the ramen that had been left by Karasuma and began "Nothing much, just wondering why you would blow up the planet you was born on." He sighed and said "I'm afraid I have to keep some secrets from you…but all will be clear soon." I nodded and said "Don't take this the wrong way but I have a feeling you didn't blow up the moon." Koro-sensei looked at me and sighed saying "If only you knew…" I closed my eyes; I would know soon Koro-sensei.

*The next day – Gym class – Shinko's POV*

"So that's what's going on today, I'm sorry if this interrupts your learning but I'd like you to try and continue as normal." I smiled and said "So you have to try and stay alive?" Karasuma sniggered "I don't have to try…but that is the concept yes." Then Karma piped up with "So instead of the killer you're now the killee?" The class then burst out laughing and I smiled and said "I bet Koro-sensei is glad of the day off." I looked over to Koro-sensei and nodded and he smiled, what everyone didn't know was something important in which I had found this morning but I knew I couldn't tell anyone due to their morale in danger of declining if they ever found out. I lowered my head and watched as Karasuma began with an upward slash and I put my hand up and said "Sir, why did Koro-sensei blow up the moon?" Karasuma looked at me and said "That's classified, even from me." I sighed and said "One method in assassination is using the target's motive against him to place him or her out of their comfort zone, how can I use this method if I don't know his motive?" Karasuma sighed and said "You may be born into assassination Shinko, but there are some mind games that really don't work on me." I growled and grabbed the knife that I had left on the floor and began the swing.

(Lovro's POV)

"One method in assassination is using the target's motive against him to place him or her out of their comfort zone, how can I use this method if I don't know his motive?" I glanced at the little girl and creased my brow, how was it that this little girl has been to prison and yet her blades of assassination haven't dulled? I then spotted Irina making her first attempt and I sighed at how stupid she truly looked. I sighed and walked away, Irina's days may have been over but maybe I had my next prodigy in the wings.

(Shinko's POV)

I watched as Lovro walked away and I smiled, he clearly didn't think he was ready yet. I dropped the knife I was using and followed Lovro and I said "She isn't any use when the cover is blown is she?" Lovro turned and I smiled and said "Deceit 101, don't let your cover be blown." He nodded and I smiled and sat on a rock and said "But Miss Jelavic has many more blades hidden you know? She has a variety of skills in which she can use." He glanced at me and I smiled and said "Don't lose faith in her yet Mr Lovro, Irina may seem like she has been finished but she is like a black widow…" Lovro turned and said "Okay then, explain it to me…" I smiled and said "She waits patiently for her prey and if they see her she disappears into the shadows to get a new position and then once the prey is unaware of her again she will strike a second time…all the while learning from her mistakes. Its how she survives in a big field called assassination." Lovro began to ponder this and I smiled and said "Don't count your chickens until they have all hatched Mr Lovro." And with that I walked back towards the classroom when a voice called "You are a very good speaker Shinko, have you ever thought about making that your career option instead?" I smiled and said "If I did that Koro-sensei, I wouldn't be able to be here." And with that I walked away.

Lunch came around quickly and Karma began "Karasuma is sat outside on his own eating lunch." I glanced out and Nagisa began "He's been eating lunch on his own the past few days; he doesn't want anyone with him either." I hummed and then Karma smirked "The spider goes in for the kill…who thinks she can do it?" I smiled and I had already seen that Lovro couldn't touch Karasuma and now didn't think Jelavic could either. I smiled and said "Ten to one she uses charm to beat him." Nagisa said "He already knows her tricks; I am saying she will attempt to snare him." I smiled and said "He doesn't know everything about her." Nagisa stood up and said "He isn't that dense!" I stood up and said "And she isn't that stupid! She has her ways…her multiple blades!" Karma stood next to Nagisa and said "And he isn't exactly short of blades either." I growled but Kayano came next to me and said "Yeah but, she knows men like the back of her hand." A full on war started out between the male and female gender but then Okuda said "Jelavic has the upper hand!" We all ran to the window and said "See, she is using her charm." Then Nagisa butted in saying "She also used a snare." I smiled but just as our argument was about to kick off again Maehara shouted "Jelavic hit him, calling it that Jelavic was the first to hit him." I smiled and said "Now you boys owe us girls something." Megu smiled and said "We girls will come up with a payment don't you worry." Isogai sighed and said "We boys are faithful to our promises, just don't make it too taxing please." A few of the girls swooned and I smiled and said "I knew she would."

*After classes – Shinko's POV*

I watched as everyone left and I glanced at Koro-sensei who was now reading a magazine and I shouted "Your awful chirpy tonight sir." He smiled and said "I am going to Hawaii tonight for the movie premier of Sonic Ninja, it will be awesome." I nodded and I stood up and gathered my things before walking back to the staff room but Nagisa stopped me and said "Do you think he would take us with him?" I shrugged and said "All you can do is ask." Nagisa nodded and then Karma began "I'll second that, I want to see the director's work." I smiled and said "Let's all ask him." Nagisa and Karma ran ahead and I sighed and followed until we had reached Koro-sensei and Nagisa shouted "Sir! Can we come with you?" Koro-sensei looked at us and said "I didn't take you two to be fans, but of course." Karma smirked and said "I'm not, I want to see how well the director did, and he is one of my favourites." Koro-sensei then turned to me and I smiled and said "I want a night away from here with friends." He nodded and said "Well then, let's go." And with that we were all tucked into Koro-sensei's clothes and I smiled but then Nagisa began "I hadn't thought about this but won't Mach 20 kill us?" I gulped and said "Theoretically, but I'm sure it will be fun." Koro-sensei then giggled and said "I will accelerate slowly so I don't crush you but I suppose I could go quicker in the air." I smiled and then Ritsu said "I can't believe we will be flying at Mach 20." I smiled and said "Me neither."

The Koro-sensei took off and I smiled as we began to fly and I smiled and watched Nagisa and Karma and I knew we would probably get to do this ever again. I sighed and then Koro-sensei began a lesson while flying and I laughed "We were being taught a lesson in science at Mach 20 while going to Hawaii to watch a film premier…my life was now complete.

*After the film – Shinko's POV*

I walked back towards the classroom when Nagisa shouted "Night Shinko!" I smiled and waved at them before turning back but then I heard a rustle and I turned but nothing could be seen and I frowned and decided I was going to act perfectly normal until I could see who it was. I continued to walk and that's when a gush of air rush towards me and I flinched and looked back as Koro-sensei left and sighed, the guy was amazing. Then in the tree top was a boy and below a figure who appeared to be in a face mask and full white kimono and I squinted and said "Excuse me, school isn't open until tomorrow morning." Both turned and I got a view of the boy and he dropped down towards me and I backed off slightly and he said "You are the Alpha of the class…you have the eyes of a predator…you are natural born assassin." I pushed his hand away and said "I may be natural born but what are you." He smirked and then the man came over and said "He is Itona Hirobe, your new classmate…he starts tomorrow and I am Shiro…his guardian." I nodded and said "I'm Shinko Yunmi, pleasure to meet you." Shiro nodded before saying "Come along Itona…we have a busy day tomorrow." And with that they disappeared.

I creased my brow before walking back inside and shaking my head. Who was he and why did he look so confusing? What was S.A.O up to this time? He wouldn't be here if he wasn't essential but did he really have what it took? I walked into the staff room and checked the corners before lying down and closing my eyes…I suppose we would find out tomorrow if he was any good.

(Itona's POV)

I lay down on the mattress and stared at the ceiling, she was cute and much nicer to me than anyone had ever been. Shinko huh? The name meant Faith in Japanese and maybe she could help me learn to be normal again. But Shiro wouldn't like me spending time with her so when would I talk to her? I sighed and turned over but I couldn't get the lilac haired girl out of my mind so I sat up and focused on sharpening my skills with the tentacles until I could no more. This would be my chance to prove I had the power.
