May X 20XX

Dear Diary,

Today is not exactly a good day for Chika. Today is the school-wide assembly. As Diary knows, Kunugigaoka held their school assembly in the main building. Class 3E must already lined up before the other classes. In order to get there, you must spend at best half an hour to get to the main building. Class 3E must sacrifice lunch break to get there. If we are late, we will be punished. Last month we were late for the assembly, in return we cleaned the weeds from the entire flower beds in the main building. Do you know how big the main building is? A dozen time bigger than our rundown building.

The journey itself is a challenge. We must hike down the mountain, cross the rivers, watch out for wild animals. It's as tough as Karasuma-sensei's PE lessons. They must thought that by draining our energy, the troublemakers known as Class 3E won't act out. Effective. What makes it more effective is that they keep taunting and making fun of us throughout the assembly. As expected from the Board Chairman to think this through.

What Chika personally don't like about the main building are the cameras Do you know that the Chairman installed so many cameras in the building? It's to observe the students while they are studying. Chika find it creepy. How did Chika knows...? Let's just say Chika accidentally saw what's on the monitor of Board Chairman's laptop the last time she's in his office. There is no doubt that Board Chairman is watching at the moment.

At least this time we are not late. Chika decided to stand on the very back of the girls' line. Not that it will get Chika out from the camera view... But at least the student council won't be able to see Chika. As Diary know, Chika was once a member of the student council before going to Class 3E. The principal started with a speech. As usual, he is calling us the beacon of Japan's future and class 3E as failures. Last year Chika don't feel anything with his speech but now... The way others laugh at us in response to his speech really hurt. Chika feel really guilty for the past members of class 3E, now that she is one. After the speech, the student council will present their announcement. Araki Teppei-san is the speaker this time.

Our attention is shifted to Karasuma-sensei. He is talking to the other teachers. This is the first time he showed up in the main building. Mrs. Yamato appears to be smitten with him. Understandable, considering the other male teachers (and most male students) are not that attractive. Kurahashi-san and Nakamura-san use this chance to show him the knife sheaths. Kurahashi-san decorated hers mostly with pink studs taking shape of a heart. She also have a white bunny wearing an eyepatch. Nakamura-san's have a pink jewel heart, wings, a cross and the initial of her name. What about Chika's? Chika never done this sort of thing before so Kurahashi-san and Nakamura-san gave a lot of input. Chika's knife sheath have indigo heart jewel on the bottom, surrounded by smaller blue hearts made from studs (suggested by Kurahashi-san and Nakamura-san) On the upper part of the sheath, Chika picked a white anchor with a pink bow on it. Chika is not sure if that is something a junior high girl would pick. Decorating phone case (or knife sheath in this case) turns out to be quite expensive.

Back to the present, Karasuma-sensei doesn't seem to be bothered with the knife sheaths. It's more about Kurahashi-san and Nakamura-san bringing those out in public. Chika don't think anyone else take a good look at them. Not enough to realise that they are not phone cases. Moving on from the knife sheathes, enter Irina-sensei. As expected, she draw many attention to herself. Must be part of the job description for a professional honeypot. Teachers and students alike can't take their eyes off her. Shiota-san is approached by her again. Must be after his notes. Apparently Shiota-san refused, because Irina-sensei pulled him to his embrace. Her breasts suffocates him. Chika don't fail to notice how other students look on in jealousy, complete with the nosebleed. They were drawing too much attention so Karasuma-sensei pulled her away. Chika imagine he give her a lecture later.

Here comes the annoying part, Diary. Araki-san must be in his jerk mood. He purposely limited the printing for student handouts because Class 3E isn't getting any. His fake apology is so transparent. He said we should memorise it. The main building is full of jerks. At first we feel down... But then a giant octopus come to the rescue. Koro-sensei, with his bad disguise, wrote enough copies for us. He moves so fast that by the time we catch out papers, he leisurely standing next to Karasuma-sensei, twirling a pen with one finger. Karasuma-sensei is very angry at him but Chika is grateful. Chika is sure others feel the same. The whole class laughed out loud when Irina-sensei is taken away by Karasuma-sensei again for trying to kill Koro-sensei out in public. It's pretty funny.

The student assembly ended without any further disruptions. To think we would leave the building in good mood... It's all thanks to our teachers. But Chika can't help but feel restless Diary... Knowing Board Chairman, he must have saw Class 3E laughing. It will disrupt his educational plan. Chika can't only hope he won't do anything drastic... Having a class taught by a monster is drastic enough.

Nagisa POV

Midterm exam is right around the corner. Koro-sensei conduct an intense high-speed study session in order to prepare us. His duplicates will thoroughly go over each weak subjects for everyone. One on one even. That should be easy enough for Sensei who prepared individualised tests for each of us. Koro-sensei making enough duplicates for all of us means that he has gone faster than before. It wasn't long ago that his limit is 4 or 5 doubles. The doubles are surprisingly delicate though. But if you are facing an exam... He is the best teacher to teach you.

The study session was tough but everyone seems satisfied. I was passing through when I noticed that the teacher lounge door is slightly open. Inside, Koro-sensei is busy servicing a man. My eyes widened when I recognised him as our board chairman. Looking at Koro-sensei's nervous expression, I quickly jot this down.

Koro-sensei's weak point #6: He is subservient to his superiors.

Eavesdropping is bad but this might be a chance to learn more about Koro-sensei's weakness... Not to mention I'm a bit curious...

Board Chairman stood up from his seat, smiling apologetically to Koro-sensei. "I'd like to apologise as well. I've kept thinking I'd come and introduce myself at some point, but never got around it." He turn around to face Sensei. "I can't claim to understand everything but... Karasuma-san and the Ministry of Defense have told me about you. How very sad you are. Looking to be the world's saviour, only to fall to the role of its destroyer instead."

Save? Destroy? What does he mean by that?

"But let's put that aside for now. We are alike in that. No matter how much we struggle, we can't save the Earth from crisis. Unless something unexpected happen, I'll stay out of your assassination."

"...That will be helpful," Karasuma-san answered when Board Chairman whispered something to him.

"You have a pretty rational outlook," Bitch-sensei speak up for the first time. "I don't particularly dislike men like that."

Board Chairman smiled pleasantly at her. "I'm honoured" He place a hand on his chest. "However as the head of this school, I must consider what's in store for next year and beyond, should the Earth survives." Board Chairman sit down on the window sill and cross his legs. "In other words, the future of this school, if someone manages to kill you. Frankly speaking, it will be problematic if Class E don't remain as it is."

"As it is? You mean their current situation, where their grades and treatment are the lowest of the low?" Koro-sensei inquire.

"Yes. Are you familiar with the working ant principle? It states that no matter how many are in a group, 20% will be lazy. 20% will work hard. The remaining 60% are ordinary. My aim is a group where 5% are lazy and 95% work hard workers." The Board Chairman's eyes flash dangerously. "'I don't want to be like Class E.' 'Class E is the one place I don't want to go.' With 95% of the students strongly believe such things... We can achieve that ideal ratio."

"I see... That's quite logical. Then it's a problem if Class E, the 5% isn't weak and miserable." Koro-sensei concluded.

"I received a complaint from Class D's homeroom teacher today: 'A student from Class E glared at one of our students and threatened to kill him."

That's... A complete lie. I can't help but feel bewildered hearing that.

Board Chairman continues "I'm sure that glare part is part of of carrying out assassination and that's fine. The problem lies in a student with rock bottom grades defying a regular one. Under my policies, that cannot stand. Please tell your students to refrain from doing so in the future." I prepared to move away when the Board Chairman walk to the door. "Oh and Koro-sensei?" He suddenly throw something at him. "You have one second. Please solve this puzzle."

"NYU?! So suddenly?!"

One second later, Koro-sensei is strangled by a wire puzzle and his tentacles got tangled. His face red from frustration as he trashes on the floor. 'What the hell is this?'

Koro-sensei's weak point #7: He has no patience for wire puzzles.

"Just as the rumours say, your speed is incredible. No doubt you can dodge any attempt on your life. But you know, Koro-sensei..." Board Chairman crouched down next to Koro-sensei. "In this world, there are problems which cannot be solved through speed."

"Shiota-san? What are you doing?" I jumped in surprise. Turning around, I found Oichi-san staring at me. I never really spoken with her. She is a really quiet person. I don't think anyone ever see her smile before. Oichi-san always look emotionless, you can't tell what's she's thinking. I'm fairly sure I saw her surprised expression before (having Koro-sensei around will guarantee that) but that is all. She is like the complete opposite of Koro-sensei. Even when he's smiling, you cannot really tell what is he thinking. At least Koro-sensei changing colours help distinguishing his mood. Oichi-san doesn't seem to be particularly close with anyone in the class.

The door slides open and I quickly turn around. Board Chairman stepped out from the teacher lounge. I feel something grabbing the back of my vest. Oichi-san..? Upon noticing us, Board Chairman smiled broadly. "Hey there! Looking forward to seeing your midterm results! Do your best!" I can feel Oichi-san gripped my vest harder. That smile disappears as soon as the chairman step away, replaced with an uninterested look. With that dry 'Do your best', I went from being an assassin back to a mere part of the End Class. Just like that. Even the stoic Oichi-san feel the same. She must be. She've been gripping my vest so tightly.

"Oichi-san, are you okay?" I turn my head around. I carefully study her expression. Her lips are tightly pressed. Her pupils getting smaller as she stare at my chest. A sweat trickle down from her head. The grip on my vest have not loosen up yet. She don't answer but I recognise what expression this is.

Fear

May X 20XX

Dear Diary,

Today is extremely exhausting. Chika have yet to recover from her shock upon seeing Board Chairman, and Koro-sensei decided to make our study session even more intense. So intense, he create even more double and bombard us with lessons. Even his doubles become so sloppy they turned into characters like Toriko, Kurosaki Ichigo, the protagonist from a lawyer game and many more. Board Chairman must have said something to rile up Koro-sensei.

Chika is ashamed to say that she can barely focus on lessons today. Turns out yesterday Chika got her period. Koro-sensei definitely noticed Chika's lack of focus. Chika slightly wonder if he can smell Chika's blood? He don't have a nose but he have a very good sense of smell. It's gross and creepy if he can though. Diary, Chika really dislikes periods. It disrupts Chika's concentration, not to mention making her feel miserable. Chika's grades suffer when she have her period. Shiota-san kindly stay with Chika yesterday until Chika calmed down. He don't ask any questions, in which Chika is grateful for. Kayano-san gave Chika a pad and water. At home, Toshiko-nee gave Chika a heating patch. It work wonders!

Back to lessons... Koro-sensei is beaten up after class ended. Creating so many doubles is not easy. But he said it's all worth the trouble if all of us get good grades. The local big breasted college girls will hear about him and ask him to tutor them. Sometimes Chika wonders which one is more perverted, Okajima-san or Koro-sensei. That perversion is very humane of him. Most of Class 3E are not that excited with studying. They don't mind it, but they don't think they will get good grades. Assassinating Koro-sensei is more probable than doing good in tests. Not to mention the handsome bounty on Koro-sensei's head.

Koro-sensei doesn't think it's amusing. He have an X on his face. That can't be good. We were told to come to the school yard. Koro-sensei also request for Karasuma-sensei and Irina-sensei to be present. When everyone is outside, Koro-sensei ask Irina-sensei a question. As a professional assassin, does she only prepare one plan whenever she have a job? Irina-sensei answered no. Rather than having one preferred plan, it's better to have a few possible routes. That is the basics for assassins, to construct thorough plans in advance, in case unforeseen circumstances should arrive. Karasuma-sensei confirm this as well, using knife attacks as analogy. The first blow is the most crucial, but the movements afterward are just as important. When you're up against a formidable opponent, there is a high probability of your first blow being dodged. The precision of your first and second strike can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Koro-sensei approved their words. If your next move is assured, you can become an assassin full of self confidence. He said us Class E is trapped in a mindset. Thinking that as long as we have assassination, we'll be fine. In the process we lower our study goals. We averted our eyes from the cause of our inferiority complex. Koro-sensei proceed to tell us a few scenarios. What if he flee from Class 3E? What if another assassin killed him before we could? Having lost the assassination we set up as contingency plan, all that is left for us is the inferiority of Class E. Koro-sensei said the following;

Those who do not possess a second blade... Are not qualified to call themselves assassins.

In an instant Koro-sensei created a tornado by spinning around. The result of that tornado? A clean, levelled sports field. Complete with running tracks. Honestly, Koro-sensei keep surprising us. Chika is certain that the tornado is even visible from main building. That man could already saw.

Unless we have confidence in yourself and can show Koro-sensei that we have a second blade, he will consider that there to be no assassin in this classroom who deserve to be his opponent. Our teacher give us a ultimatum. If Class 3E don't score within the top 50 at tomorrow's midterm test, Koro-sensei will level our old school building with the rest of us and leave.

...Now that's just impossible...

But Koro-sensei believed in us when no one else would. Chika must answer that with good scores. Good thing studying is Chika's only forte... Now then, we only have one night to cram everything, Diary. We must take into account every possibilities, like Irina-sensei said. Since the midterm test will be held in the main building, we must assume that the teachers will put many traps. Board Chairman included. Knowing that man, he have many tricks under his sleeves in order to protect his education policies.

All right, Diary. It's cram time. Chika will see you after test is over.

P.S. Toshiko-nee gave me a pack of that heating patch, along with tampons. This is Chika's first time using a tampon. Not sure if Chika like it.

The midterm tests is officially over. Chika spent the whole night cramming, she showed up to school with bags under her eyes. But many other students also have the same bags under their eyes so no one really paid attention to her. Shiota-san did asked her if she's all right. Chika just gave him a short 'Yes'. Deep down she feel uneasy with his kindness. The students in the main building never show concern towards others. Instead back when she is in Class 2B, Chika's classmates rejoiced when someone failed. Members of Class B are more competitive than most because they are so close to be in Class A. In turn members of Class A work hard in order to keep their spot.

The tests this time is not what they are expected. The tests are hard but for first half of the test, they are doing fine. Even when the supervising teacher tried to break their concentration, Class E is able to focus. Koro-sensei's teaching are very effective as well. But the last questions... They are out of their scope. Chika is able to get partial points because she've seen the questions from Toshiko's high school textbook. It pays to open her sister's book on the last night of cramming. It's not weird for a elevator school like Kunugigaoka to put high school level questions in junior high third year tests. Thank goodness Toshiko-nee still keep her high school text books. Despite her period, Chika is able to concentrate thanks to the heating patch. Now the pain won't distract her as much as before. It's just like Irina-sensei said. Rather than having one preferred plan, it's better to have a few possible routes. Chika have taken account of the possibility of the standard being higher this time.

Unfortunately, not everyone in the class are prepared. No one get to a spot in the top 50. All except two person... Akabane Karma who placed 4th and Oichi Chika who placed 50th. Honestly, Chika feel like fainting when she found out. Akabane have no intention of leaving class E. Assassination is way more fun than going back to his old class. Hearing his words, it strengthen her resolve. Her parents always pressure her to be smart but is grades the most important things? What is her second blade? What about her first blade? She won't find out if she go back to the main building.

Koro-sensei is red from being teased by the whole class (Akabane started it). His tentacles flail around as he try to make a good comeback. Chika brave herself to take a step forward. The whole class staring at her made her nervous but Chika focused on Koro-sensei.

"I placed the 50th place, Koro-sensei." Chika show him her test papers. "However I decided not to leave class E. You said to me that you will help polish my assassination style. How will I know what my style is, moreover my second blade if I leave now? In exchange, you must not leave us too, Sensei."

"Oichi-san..." Koro-sensei stared at Chika, touched. "It's decided!" His eyes turn dangerous, "We'll get revenge on them two-fold in the end-of-term exam!" The whole class laughed at that, except Chika. That doesn't mean she's not happy. If anything...

Diary, do you know how to laugh? Chika don't know how to do it. Maybe there's a guide to how to laugh properly? ...Chika better make sure Toshiko-nee don't check Chika's browse history. If she found out Chika is learning to laugh, Chika will die from shame!
