It was quite easy to find out that this was not the same universe as my last life. The reason I knew was because most of the songs I knew didn't exist. Frankly the only thing I found that was exactly the same was the Naruto series. Random much?

Finding out I was reborn in the Assassination Classroom universe was a little harder but there aren't that many schools out there with the Kunugigaoka name and system. Especially if my parents had me enrolled after I decided I wanted to become a musician.

It was near my house, had a good reputation for hard working students and paved a path to success to all those who graduate in B-class and up.

It was child's play to figure it out.

My parents basically told me I can do whatever I want as long as I stay in the top 10 of my year.

When I was 12 years old, I passed the entrance exam with flying colours and came in 10th place overall.

-Is it a coincidence that I'm the same age as the Assassination Classroom?

I was finally here.

I was in A-class.

I won't get to be part of the events of the series unless I get into the E-class, but I don't know if I want to go there.

I'm not a child. Even if I technically am, I am not. I refuse to limit myself for a future that could easily not be.

I want to become a singer.

I keep fit. My lungs are in perfect condition. I won't be one to run out of stamina. My experience as a bedridden terminal case will not be repeated and I will live my own life for ME. Because of the fact that I spent my last months in bed, I can't stand being in it unless I need to sleep. I will never stop being a busy body. I don't think that's a bad thing.

I may be calculating at times but I have no deep emotional issues, I excel in my studies and I know what I want to do with my future.

This is only my first year. The future is not set in stone so I have time to decide if I want to be a part of something amazing or not. And there is no doubt in my mind that it will be amazing if not entirely needed.

And in some way, Koro-sensei has already been my teacher. He was on the other side of the screen and helped me come to terms with a lot of things in the before. It just seems that I have outgrown the need for a role model, a teacher.

I have no need for him anymore. I might thank him when I see him but he will never know why.

I just want to sing till my voice is gone and even then I will have my second blade hidden in my sleeve unseen to anyone but myself. My skills as an assassin and a doctor will not fade because they defined my life in the before. I am a good student. I was a good assassin. I was a good doctor. I am going to be an amazing singer.

I'll be fine.
