In an empty street, the students are dressed in their uniforms and carrying their school bags. They check-out of their stay a few minutes ago. A tall man with black spiky hair walked out of the door. He made a call to ask about their bus. A blonde haired bitch crossed her arms and fretted over waiting on the sidewalks for two whole minutes. A suspicious looking brown haired yellow faced man stands in the other part of the entrance of their inn. His face turned pink.

"Koro-sensei", a girl called him out. "I-I h-have something to give you".

He smiled. "Yes. What do you have for me, Okuda-san?"

She pulls out two bundled buns. "I-I want you t-to pick between these two mochi. C-choose the one that is not poisonous. I-if you lose, you fail. I don't t-take no for an answer".

"I see", Koro-sensei said. "Unfortunately, I already ate some rice and pollack a few minutes ago".

Manami pulls her hands away. "O-oh, I see".

"What is there to lose, Koro-sensei?" a red headed boy saw the situation. "A girl just offered you her sweets. Isn't it common courtesy to just accept it?"

He circled around the creature who hunched his back. His smile mirrors the teacher's usual cartoonish smile as he gleams with mischief. "Or are you finally unveiling your trueself?"

He flaps both hands as he imitates the way chickens walk. Koro-sensei screamed. "I'm not a chicken. I'm an octopus".

"Really?" Karma said. He leans on his shoulder. "Prove it".

Koro-sensei gulps. He picks the mochi on her right hand. He unwraps the mochi. One by one, he munched on the delicacy. He gulps the last piece.

"T-That's strange", Manami said. She looks at both of her hands. "I'm sure. T-That one was poisonous".

"I was wrong?" Koro-sensei screamed. "Let me see". Koro-sensei took the other one. He gulps it down all at once. His eyes stare open for a while and close at the end. His lower body limp. His tentacles swayed.

"Oh", Karma chimed. "So there is one that works".

He swished his knife in front of the octopus. It dissipates. The knife appeared near his shoulder. Karma stabs. Koro-sensei dodges.

Manami and Karma leap to the side. Kayano and Kanzaki fire their Anti-sensei guns. Kayano aims for the ground, the bullet bounces off in his direction. Some of them create a barrier at the sides. Kanzaki aims for his tentacles. Koro-sensei steps backwards.

Sugino puts his arm on him. Koro-sensei's tentacle dissipates. An anti-sensei knife appears between the creature's sleeves. He holds the hand that was holding the knife and disappears. The six students gasped. They found the creature among their classmates. A blue bus opens the doors. Their school trip ends.

She grips the hem of her skirt. Currently, her teammates sit in the same train compartment as her but none have spoken a word. "I'm sorry".

She screamed. "Th-the assassination attempt failed because of me. I-I was nervous before we began and I-I didn't take into account anything else be-besides the poison. I'm sorry".

Only the sound of rain travels through their space. "If that's just the case, I'm also sorry", the deep voice beside her said. Karma looks at her. "I was too caught up in teasing him and thinking about how his tentacles exploded when I hit him".

Nagisa and Sugino looked at each other. Sugino faced the front. "We're sorry too. We were so caught up in giving him a sneak attack".

Kayano and Kanzaki smiled. "We're also sorry". Kayano sighed. "We were busy with our guns and we almost missed the sign to start shooting".

"And it's not as if it's a fruitless attempt", Nagisa said. He flips through his notes. "Apparently, Koro-sensei starts to become immobile by the second mochi".

"Wow, Okuda-san's poison works", Kayano exclaimed.

"How did you know that he would react to the poison?" Kanzaki said. She looked at Manami. The girl fiddles with her hands.

"I-I don't", Manami said. "I-I just remembered a-about what was said in class. Th-the second blade".

"What was that?" Nagisa said. He leans his body forward; pen and note at the ready.

"The second blade", Manami said. "I-I re-remembered Koro-sensei a-asked Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei about their specialty. Ka-Karasuma-sensei is good with his knife but h-he also needs to strike his target a-at least twice. Bitch-sensei, s-she also mentioned about h-having more than one plan for a-assassination. So I-I thought, w-why not poison w-with two sweets?"

"So you can put him to sleep", Karma said. "And when one fails, the other one could work".

"Y-yes", Manami nods.

Sugino chuckles. "Then I guess this isn't a cinch after all. We found our opening".

Kayano nods. She pumps up her fist. "Let's get him next time". Manami pumps her fist with her. Karma, Sugino, Kanzaki and Nagisa join. With science and assassination hand in hand, they will come for the tentacles one by one.


To be honest, I don't know if octopus form Koro-sensei has shoulders but putting the word back doesn't feel right, hehe
