Chapter 41
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So...this is it, huh." Came the words of Gakushū who stood outside of the E-Class building while having a bandage on his right cheek. He looks down at the door and was about to knock when suddenly the door shot open with a yellow bipedal octopus standing in front of him. It was about three meters tall, and possessed a large, bulbous head with a large smile and small, beady eyes. He had two feelers as arms, with two fingers each, and utilized the rest of his tentacles to walk with. He wore a black academic dress, a small black square academic cap with a yellow tassel, and a large black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon on it.
"..." Gakushū said nothing but stares into the octopus's eyes.
"Aren't you the pervert from the newspaper?" When Koro heard that, he immediately face faulted but got back up quickly with tears falling from his eyes.
"I WAS FRAMED, I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!" Koro shouted at Gakushū who was already sweating at who the hell this guy is.
"Relax Koro." Hearing that, Gakushū's gaze focuses on Naruto walking out on the open behind Koro.
"Come on in." Hearing that, Koro just moved to the side even though he was still crying to allow Gakushū to enter and pass the yellow cartoonish octopus.
"Don't ignore me!" Koro shouted with his arms waving in a he air, nothing wanting to be known as a pervert.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~30 MINUTES LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gakushū just sat in silence at the fact he's now in Class-E with the others students with him, learning from the octopus.
"To think I would end up in this class!" Gakushū thought to himself while ignoring the smiling Karma who finds his situation hilarious. Gakushū then looks at me he teaching octopus.
"So this is the guy who destroyed the earth?" Gakushū thought to himself, still thinking that this is what his father was hiding from him but his train of thought was stopped when the entire building shook much to his and everyone's surprise. Naruto immediately ran outside to find what had caused it and it was a bulldozer much to his surprise while the other students looked out the window.
"Prepare to vacate the premises." Hearing that, Naruto turns his head to the left so he could meet the eyes of a smiling Gakuhō.
"Principal Asano!" When Gakushū heard that he ran to the window to find his father standing in front of Naruto.
"The board Mage the decision this morning; we're tearing down this old campus building today. I'll have you move to the new campus of our affiliate school opening next school year. Until graduation, you will help us performance test the building." When Naruto heard that, jus eyes just narrowed at this being his adopted fathers last ditch effort to stop them.
"With a surveillance system and an anti-escape system drawn from correctional facilities, they can study in an environment akin to a more civilized prison. The new E-Class: the culmination of my educational theories." Hearing that, Nagisa began to speak unsurely.
"B-But moving-" Nagisa couldn't finish since Naruto who already speaking.
"I see..." Naruto said just as Koro-Sensei appears on his left.
"You'll carry out your educational vision to the very end, won't you." Hearing that, Gakuhō just smiles while he agreed with Koro.
"But make no mistake, you two are no longer useful to my education and these...are where I draw the line." With that said he took out two sheets of paper that had the words "Notice of Dismissal" written on them, much to there shock at reading it. Koro just began protesting unlike Naruto who remained calm with a serious look on his face.
"And so you two won't jump to any conclusions, this is nothing but a tool to control my targets. I have come, Koro-Sensei, to end your teaching carrier. You two are...no longer necessary for my education, you see." Hearing that, Naruto's eyes just narrow from the words he spoke.
"Dad..." Gakushū said from the window, gaining Gakuhō's attention but he just looks at the demolition workers.
"Hold off the demolition for now. I have some work to do inside." He told them and it didn't take long to find them all inside with Naruto having five desks in front of him, each one having a text book and one table having five grenades. While this was happening a worried Irina and Konan stood next to a sweating Tadaomi.
"What could Principal Asano be thinking?" Tadaomi thought to himself in confusion Ayato what he's planning.
"This was originally made for Koro-Sensei but using it on you will give you less of a chance for success. You see, this game I prepared will have five subjects worth of tear questions and five hand grenades with four of them being Anti-Sensei grenades; one works on humans. They're the real deal." After saying that, he grabs one and pulls the pin while holding it.
"They are identical in appearance and smell, and made such that once their puns are pulled they'll explode the moment their handles begins to rise. I've pulled their pins and placed them carefully between random pages in the test books, handles in place. You will open the book and solve the problem at the top right." Hearing that, Sumire spoke up in disagreement.
"As soon as he opens it, the handle will pop up and-" she was cut off by the smiling Gakuhō who turns to her not even noticing Naruto putting on his assassination wire gloves.
"Yes, he'll almost certainly be hit with an explosion-" he was cut off when he heard writing which his eyes widen all the way and turns fast to find Naruto writing in the open book with the grenades handle not moving an inch, much to his confusion at what he's looking at.
"Did you actually think I would be beaten by you in this game?" When Gakuhō heard that, his eyes only widen at seeing markings covering his hands.
"I merely wrapped the Green grenade in wires to prevent it but ask yourself this, just how precise do I have to be to get my wires between the pages and more importantly wrap the grenade with it. I'll tell you how, my fourth ability...100% Accuracy." Hearing that, they were all shocked while Gakuhō just had wide eyes while Naruto's fingers began moving a wildly and in a matter is seconds all but one was held open with the grenade wrapped in wires which he proceeded to answer them all. When he finished he just turns to Gakuhō with a smile on his face.
"Seems, the fox has grown much more then last time and is currently devouring the centipede." Hearing that, he just looks down at the last book.
"Well, Principal Asano? Will tut open the final book? No matter how superb you may be, opening a grenade-filled test book will not end well." Koro told him.
"Dad.." Hearing Gakushū sat y that, he just looks at the book.
"We don't care if you fire both Koro-Sensei and Naruto!" Megu told them followed by Yukiko agreeing with them.
"Even if it means leaving home or holing up in some mountain, we'll keep the assassination classroom going till March." Tomohito said to Gakuhō who just stares at all of them.
"Koro-Sensei, under my educational philosophy, you could very well destroy the Earth and it wouldn't matter." As he said it, he began reaching for the book before grabbing it and opening it much to even Gakushū's shock. When it explodes they were blinded but surprisingly in a matter of seconds Naruto and Gakuhō found themselves under the protection of Koro's molt.
"Have you forgotten my molt?" Hearing that, Gakuhō was just surprised when he heard him say that.
"Your once monthly trick, eh? Why didn't you use it just on Naruto or yourself?" Gakuhō questions him while Koro removed it.
"I was saving it for you two. Of Naruto won, there's no doubt you'd have opted to blow yourself up." Hearing that, Gakuhō just stood up along with Naruto.
"How can you be so sure what I'd do?" Hearing him say that, his eyes just widen at remembering what Naruto said to him.
"Because we have so much in common. Both stubborn education fiends, aiming for perfection in teaching even if it means using your own life. I talked to your old cram-school students during the exams. About their impressions of you as a teacher, about what happened... The educational ideals I purse are identical to yours a dozen years back. Where I've been lucky, compared to you, is with the E Class. Because there are a fair number of students and because they share the same circumstances, they came together to withstand training and can ask each other for advice without holding things in. Principal Asano, it's none other than you who made this E Class. You've unconsciously been carrying on the ideal education you came up with long ago. I'm the only one this knife can kill." He told Gakuhō while taking out the rubber knife wrapped in cloth.
"We do not teach the theft of human life. You and I share the same ideals: not a killing education, but one that lets live. Let's keep on following through with our ideal education." Hearing that, he just looks down at the ground.
"My philosophy is always correct. I've turned out a great number of strong students these past dozen years. But now you've acknowledged my system as well, so I will deign to permit this E Class to remain." Hearing that and taking Koro's knife, the yellow octopus could only laugh.
"Still can't simply admit defeat, I see." Hearing that, Gakuhō just continues speaking.
"Oh, and... May I come by and kill you now and then?" Hearing that, Naruto could only smile at hearing this while Gakushū could see the clear change in his own fathers attitude.
"Of course. That knife suits a worthy rival well." Hearing that, Gakuhō just smiles before looking at Gakushū.
"I see you home tonight and I expect to see you bring your girlfriend." With that said, he turns his back to them not even needing to see Gakushū's blushing face much to the enjoyment of the class at seeing Retsu wrap her arms around the now surprised new classmate.
