One, two, three, four.
five, six, seven...
Hearing their voices echoing across the field on a sunny afternoon
is so peaceful.
If only they weren't armed with weapons.
Eight, one.
Practice swinging your knife from eight directions.
Six, seven, eight.
I'll take over the PE class starting from today.
I feel left out.
Didn't I tell you that you don't have to come for this class?
Go over there and make a sand castle or something.
You're so mean, Mr. Karasuma.
Everyone seems to love my PE class.
Stop lying.
Your body strength is totally different from ours.
The last time...
Let's practice jumping from side to side.
Let me demonstrate.
Who could do that?
After you get the hang of it, you can even play the cat's cradle.
He's good!
He's at a completely different level.
It's better to have a human to teach us PE.
I feel so sad.
Okay, let's continue.
But, is there a point in training like this?
We're even practicing in front of our assassination target.
Studying and assassinating are the same.
Once you have the basics, you're good to go.
The same?
Yuma, Hiroto.
Come forward.
Strike me with your knives.
Are you sure?
As a team?
The knives are harmless to humans.
Even if it's a light scratch, all of you may go home for the day.
Well...
Okay.
Come.
Even someone who had a little training like me
can handle the attacks from two amateurs with ease.
He's amazing.
If you can't even strike me down,
there's no way you can hurt the guy who moves at Mach 20.
Look at him!
While we're sparring,
he built Osaka Castle in the sandbox.
He even brewed tea and changed his outfit.
He's making me mad.
Once the whole class is capable of striking me down,
the chances of success will increase exponentially.
I'll be teaching you stabbing, shooting and other basics of assassination
during physical education.
Awesome.
That's all for today.
Thank you, sir.
Mr. Karasuma
-seems fierce, but he's quite cool. -I agree.
If I manage to strike him down, I wonder if I'll get a pat on the head.
Who knows?
Mr. Karasuma!
Are you trying to steal my students away?
Stop messing around.
"If the school desires,
an additional teacher may be assigned to Class E."
That clause should be stated in your employment contract.
My duty is to monitor the progress of our assassins on-site.
We're doing all we can to kill you.
Stop calling me "the guy" or "you."
Please use the name my students gave me.
Mr. Koro.
There will be a quiz during the sixth period.
I was hoping we could go home after class.
Hello, Nagisa.
It's been a while.
Karma.
You're finally back.
EPISODE 3
Is this the legendary Mr. Koro?
He looks exactly like an octopus.
Aren't you Karma Akabane?
I heard your suspension ends today.
You shouldn't be late on your first day of class though.
I'm still not used to the schedule.
You can call me by my first name.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Koro.
Let's have a wonderful year ahead.
Wow, you're really fast.
This knife really works.
I cut it into small pieces and stuck them on my hand.
But I can't believe you'll fall for such a simple trick.
Not to mention,
you jumped back so far.
Are you afraid?
This is the first time someone succeeded in hurting Mr. Koro.
I heard you're undefeatable. Hence the name, Mr. Koro.
That's odd.
Are you that naive?
Nagisa, what kind of person is he?
We were classmates in our freshmen and sophomore years.
But he was suspended
due to his violent behavior when he was a sophomore.
That's why he was transferred to Class E.
But he could be the elite in our class now.
What do you mean?
In terms of weapon handling and foul play,
I think he's way better than us.
Don't you dare run, Mr. Koro.
I'll show you what it's like to be killed.
What has he been doing?
Who knows? He's been punching the wall.
Is he angry because he was mocked?
His tentacles are too soft, so it's doing nothing to the wall.
MR. KORO'S WEAKNESS, NUMBER 4, HE HAS WEAK PUNCHES
Goodness, you're so noisy.
We're having a quiz now!
I'm so sorry.
Karma, are you sure it's okay? You pissed off that monster.
Whatever happens next, you're on your own.
Isn't it better if you just cower at home?
He was almost killed. It's natural for him to be upset, Ryoma.
Unlike someone, I didn't wet my pants when I failed my assassination attempt.
I didn't wet my pants. Are you looking for a fight?
Hey, be quiet during the quiz!
-You were no better with your punching. -If not, I'll assume you're cheating.
I'm sorry, Mr. Koro.
I already finished my quiz.
I'll enjoy my gelato quietly.
You're not allowed to eat in class.
That's the gelato I brought back from Italy yesterday!
So, it's yours.
I'm sorry.
I found it in the staff room's fridge.
Saying sorry isn't enough!
To keep it from melting, I flew through the freezing stratosphere.
So, what are you going to do?
Hit me?
I won't do so.
I'll finish the remaining gelato.
That's right, I'll...
Anti-teacher BB pellets!
You fell for it again.
I'll keep using my tricks on you.
I don't care if it affects the class or not.
If you're pissed off, you can kill me or the rest.
But from that moment onward,
nobody will see you as a teacher.
In fact, they'll think you're a monster.
At that point of time,
I would've killed your identity as a teacher.
Here's my paper.
I'm pretty sure I had all the right answers.
Bye, Mr. Koro.
Let's play again tomorrow.
Karma is quick on his feet.
Just now too.
He saw the line Mr. Koro couldn't cross because of his identity as a teacher.
He's driving Mr. Koro over the edge.
He uses his observant behavior
and his wittiness
to confront other people.
Damn it.
He made me buy another gelato.
He's a smart and difficult student, but what he said was right.
If I want to continue to be a teacher, I can't kill or hurt him.
Okay.
How should I deal with him?
See you, Nagisa.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Hey, it's Nagisa.
He seems comfortable in Class E.
How lame.
I guess he's not coming back to our class.
I heard
Karma Akabane went to Class E as well after his suspension was over.
How pitiful.
I'd rather die than go to that class.
So, you're willing to die.
Would you like to die right now?
Karma!
There's no way I'd do anything.
I have an interesting subject now.
I can't be suspended again.
Karma.
Nagisa.
I have something to ask you.
I heard you understand Mr. Koro pretty well.
That's right. More or less.
Would he get angry if someone calls him an octopus?
An octopus?
Octopus X! It's a trick question.
I think it's the opposite.
He draws himself as an octopus.
He picks octopus characters too when playing games.
Last time, he dug a hole in the sandbox.
Octopus trap.
He even made a joke like that.
For Mr. Koro, the octopus is his trademark.
I see.
I thought of a silly idea.
Karma, what are you planning?
I'm really happy.
At first, I was wondering what I should do if he's just a monster.
Surprisingly, he's a good teacher.
It'll be great to finally kill a good teacher.
The last teacher went and died on me.
OLD CAMPUS
I miscalculated.
I didn't have enough money for gelato.
I don't have any other income before payday arrives.
I guess I have to cook after this.
Good morning, everyone.
Is something wrong?
I'm sorry.
I thought that's you, so I killed it.
I'll throw it away, so can you pass it to me?
I understand.
Come here, Mr. Koro.
I don't have to kill you now.
I'll slowly torture your soul.
Karma, let me show you.
The power of these drill tentacles
and this missile I took from the Self-Defense Force.
I'm not about to let my assassin get away scot-free.
I could tell you haven't eaten your breakfast.
I grilled some octopus using supersonic speed.
Once you eat this, you'll be healthier and stronger.
Here, open wide.
Karma.
My duty is to take care of you.
For example, polishing the assassin's rusty knife.
Try your best to kill me.
Every time you do, I'll take good care of you.
By the end of the day,
your soul and body will be polished to the point they sparkle.
FIRST PERIOD: MATH
Just like this.
No matter what you do, this number can't be eliminated.
If this troubles you,
you don't have to worry.
I have the perfect method to divide it.
I'll write it on the blackboard. Let's all try to solve it.
By the way, Karma,
you were too slow.
I was too bored.
So I did your nails for you.
FOURTH PERIOD: HOME ECONOMICS
How is it? Have you finished cooking, Yuzuki?
I'm not sure.
The flavor is a bit too strong.
Let me try it.
Well, why don't you start over?
Throw this batch away.
Karma, you forgot your apron.
Don't worry about the soup.
I collected all of it in midair with an eyedropper.
I added sugar in it as well.
It's milder now.
How cute.
It's useless.
FIFTH PERIOD: JAPANESE
Mr. Koro has a lot of weaknesses.
He often messes up.
When he's panicking, his reaction is as slow as us.
It doesn't matter how good Karma is at surprise attacks.
"The red frog failed again and came back here.
I started to feel bored."
Mr. Koro is on high alert.
This assassination is like an unbeatable video game.
"I don't intend to attack the red frog."
Karma.
Don't worry. We'll do it together.
Once Mr. Koro has his eyes on you,
no matter what you do, you can't kill him alone.
He's different from other teachers.
Teachers?
Karma, you're right.
Although you're confrontational and problematic,
as long as you're right, I'll stand by you.
No way.
I want to kill him.
I'd be pissed if he just randomly dies on me.
Karma.
I took good care of you today, didn't I?
Try your best to kill me as usual.
I'll polish you until you sparkle.
I want to reconfirm with you.
You're a teacher, aren't you?
-I am. -Isn't a teacher
supposed to risk his life to protect his students?
Of course. I'm a teacher after all.
Okay, great.
Then I'll be able to kill you.
I'm sure of it.
So, what are you going to do?
If you come to help me, I'll shoot you.
But if you let me die, your life as a teacher will be over.
Wow, my life is flashing before me.
Senior, are you all right?
Class 3-E?
That Class E?
It must have been awful for you to be scolded over a small matter.
I'm not the one at fault.
What's wrong with saving a bullied student?
No, Karma.
No matter how I look at it, you're at fault!
Are you crazy?
How dare you injure the best junior student?
What were you actually thinking?
Hang on, sir.
You sided with Class E
and injured someone with a bright future.
If this affects his entrance exam,
I'll be the one to blame.
You said you'll stand by me.
Yet, you're going against your words.
Crap. He's dying.
Your grades are the only thing that's right about you.
That's why I always sided with you.
But once my career is on the line,
it's a different story.
In my eyes,
this teacher's dying.
I've already applied for your transfer.
Congratulations, Karma.
You'll be in Class E.
As a junior.
He let me down.
For me, he might as well be dead.
Mr. Koro, I'll kill you with my own hands.
Now, which kind of death would you choose?
Karma.
Splendid work on this assassination by sacrificing yourself.
If I save you at Mach speed, your body won't be able to take it.
But if I move slower, you'll shoot me.
So, I went for the sticky approach.
Damn! Aren't your tentacles too powerful?
You won't be able to shoot like this.
By the way,
letting you die was never an option.
You can trust me so go ahead and jump down the cliff anytime.
It's useless.
He won't die no matter what.
At least,
not as a teacher.
Karma, stop doing crazy things like that.
It was nothing.
That trick just now was my best chance at killing him.
What? Have you run out of ideas already?
I've prepared a lot of grooming equipment in retaliation.
You're surprisingly easy to deal with.
I still want to kill him.
But it feels different now.
I'll kill you tomorrow.
A healthy and refreshing murderous intent.
Looks like I don't need to groom you anymore.
Let's go home, Nagisa.
We can grab a bite on the way.
Hang on. That's my wallet.
Didn't I tell you?
Don't leave it unattended in the staff room.
-Return it to me! -Sure.
Why is it empty?
There wasn't much left so I donated it.
You hypocrite! Delinquent! How dare you...
Assassins went in for the kill,
but were polished until they sparkle by the target.
That's our assassination classroom.
What kind of method will we use to kill him tomorrow?
No way! I'm serious!
Shimake Kensaku's Red Frog.
After observing the red frog swim across stubbornly
and thinking that it's doing all this for nothing,
how would that change your state of mind?
Do you know, Karma?
