I enjoyed that school trip.
Too bad we have to go back to normal classes again.
Normal?
Hey!
-Good morning, Yuma. -Hi.
Did you read Mr. Karasuma's text message to the class?
Yes.
It's about the transfer student, right?
New student coming tomorrow. You'll be shocked.
Based on his text message, it could be a professional assassin.
We're finally getting an assassin for a transfer student.
Since it's a transfer student,
does it mean that the student is our age, unlike Ms. Bitch?
This is the key point.
When did you get here?
I was very curious too.
So I replied and asked if there was a photo.
This is what he sent me.
-A girl? -You even made it your wallpaper.
She's cute too.
Right? Isn't she cute?
I wonder if we'll get along well.
She doesn't look like an assassin to me.
You're overdoing it, Taiga.
Assassin or not,
a transfer student will always make other students nervous and uneasy.
What is she like? What's her method of assassination?
Everyone's brimming with curiosity.
I wonder if that transfer student is already here.
What is this?
Good morning, everyone.
I'm the new student in your class, Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery.
I look forward to getting to know you.
What's going on?
EPISODE 9
I'm sure you know, she's your new classmate.
By the way,
she's from Norway.
Her name is Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery.
Glad to meet you all.
Mr. Karasuma must find it difficult.
If I was him, I would have collapsed from the incessant ridicule.
Don't laugh. You're no different than her.
Listen, she's registered as a student.
She'll be sitting there with her guns aimed at you,
but you can't strike back.
It's stated clearly in your contract
that teachers mustn't harm students.
I'm aware of that.
You're taking advantage of that agreement to make a machine my student.
All right, then.
Ms. Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery,
welcome to Class E.
Thank you, Mr. Koro.
About these three characters,
-one of them is dead. -But
-The other two appear -how will she attack?
-to get along with one another. -What?
-Ira comes to visit -She calls herself a fixed artillery,
-the sick Kajii every day. -but I can't see any guns.
I guess...
Is this really out of concern?
-I knew it! -Cool!
Four shotguns!
Two machine guns!
There may be a hail of bullets,
but that's normal for the students of this class.
Shooting is prohibited during lessons.
I'll take note of that.
Prepare to continue attacking.
She'll show her true ability next.
She's able to self-evolve.
Recalculating trajectory, revising ejection angle.
Self-evolve mode 52802.
Will you ever learn?
The method of attack is exactly the same as just now.
It's just a machine after all.
In that case, as long as I fling the chalk the same way...
Blind spot.
Was that a concealed pellet?
Its trajectory was the same as the pellet I deflected.
The initial pellet concealed the following pellet.
Right fingertip suffered damage.
Effectiveness of the second gun confirmed.
She studies her target's style of defense.
She improves her weapons and methods accordingly.
And keeps closing in on the enemy.
Chances of a kill in the next attack is less than 0,001%.
Chances of a kill in the attack after that is less than 0,003%.
Chances of a kill before graduation
is above 90%.
Therefore, Mr. Koro,
I shall continue attacking.
Confirmed hit, two bullets grazed the target.
To calculate estimation value,
adding four main guns
and resuming attack.
We've grossly underestimated her.
Or should I say, we had the wrong perception of her.
A real killer is right before our eyes.
A self-evolving fixed artillery.
Truly amazing.
She may be shooting BB pellets,
but it's state-of-the-art technology.
This will surely do the trick.
Will it be that easy?
If this class was such an easy place for assassination,
I wouldn't be teaching here.
All right.
Are we the ones who have to clean this mess?
Do you have a built-in clean-up function, Ms. Fixed Artillery?
Ignoring me, is she?
Forget it, what's the point in picking on a machine?
Second period.
Third period.
That day,
the new mechanized student's attacks went on for the whole day.
The second morning...
Time, 8:29 a.m. and 35 seconds in the morning.
All systems go.
Electrical power, stable voltage.
Operating system, normal.
Recording disk, normal. All devices, normal.
No ineffectual components.
Program start.
Verify tasks.
Today's schedule before the sixth period,
carry out 215 types of firing mode
and continue to analyze target's evasion tactics.
Mr. Koro, I can't shoot like this.
Please untie me.
There's no use in asking me.
Were you the one who tied me up?
It's clear that you're doing me harm,
-which the agreement prohibits. -Definitely not!
I did it.
You're a pain in the ass no matter how one looks at it.
Learn some common sense before you start assassinating, you piece of scrap metal.
How would a machine know what's common sense?
We'll untie you after class.
Don't blame us for doing this.
If it's going to be like yesterday, there'll be no point in attending classes.
Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery to creator.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I can't carry out the second day's tasks.
Chances of resolving the issue on my own is at zero percent.
Chances of a successful kill before graduation
is considerably lessened.
Please formulate countermeasures.
How can you request help from your guardian?
The tactics that your guardian came up with
aren't suitable for this class' current situation.
Besides, you're a transfer student.
You should think of ways to work with your classmates on your own.
Work with them?
Do you know why it's not your teacher
but your classmates who stopped your assassination activity?
Because to them,
your attacks not only disrupted their lessons,
but even if you succeeded in killing me,
the reward will probably go to your creator.
So your assassination of me will not profit them.
I understand now, Mr. Koro.
I was inconsiderate of my classmates.
You are indeed intelligent.
I made this for you.
Apps and extra memory.
There's no virus, so please accept it.
What is this?
Simulation attack software to be carried out with your classmates.
Can you see how it'll increase your assassination success rate?
I have no objections.
Do you understand how important cooperation is in an assassination?
What do you think of it?
I believe you want to work with them now, right?
But I don't know how to.
I came prepared.
What's that?
A software necessary for cooperation and more memory.
It may be against the rules to harm you,
but there's nothing that says I can't improve your abilities.
Good morning.
Why are you doing this?
The changes you make will only shorten your life.
I'm a teacher before a target of assassination.
From the attack I personally experienced yesterday,
I knew how great your ability is and how keen you are to learn.
Thanks to your guardian, you have this gift.
But it's my responsibility as a teacher to develop this gift of yours.
Learn to cooperate with others and develop your gift to the fullest.
Mr. Koro.
Is this navigation function for dessert malls worldwide
necessary for cooperation too?
I was thinking of asking you to help me with that.
Is it a little too naive?
Hey, do you think she'll be here today too?
I think so.
Let's complain to Mr. Karasuma.
It's impossible to learn anything with her around.
Why does it seem like she's grown bigger?
Good morning, everybody.
It's a beautiful day today.
-I gave her a full-body LCD display, -Good morning, Mr. Koro.
-and a body-and-uniform-modeling software. -Good to be with you all.
I did it all myself at a cost of 606000 yen.
I'm so happy to be able to spend this cheery day with you all.
Her rich expression and cheery words,
plus the software and memory to run the program
costs another 1103000 yen.
The exchange student's evolution has taken a strange turn.
All I have left in my wallet
is five yen.
The plants in the garden are becoming more beautiful.
Spring is over
and the smell of early summer is so pleasant to the spirit.
She has become so cute overnight.
Is that really Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery?
Why let yourselves be fooled?
It's just a program that the octopus came up with.
A machine is a machine no matter how cute it is.
She might still attack without warning.
That piece of scrap metal.
I understand where you're coming from, Ryoma.
I was exactly that yesterday.
I won't deny that.
I'm just a piece of scrap metal.
-You've made her cry. -Ryoma made a two-dimensional girl cry.
Don't use words that would give people the wrong idea!
Isn't two-dimensional great?
She's one dimension away from becoming a real woman.
Kataro, is that all you can say?
How could you?
But don't worry, everyone.
Under Mr. Koro's guidance,
I now understand the importance of cooperation.
To be approved and accepted by everyone,
I won't make any attempts to assassinate.
So please be good to her, everyone.
One more thing.
I may have upgraded her,
but I didn't do anything about her killer instincts.
That's right!
If you want to kill me, she will be your most reliable comrade.
There's nothing that Mr. Koro can't do.
He could even turn a machine into an obedient student.
The slender strands in the retina are called shafts.
What do you call the thicker ones?
Sosuke, please answer.
-Me? -No peeking at the textbook.
No! What's is it called?
Cone cells
The answer is...
Is it cone cells?
Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery,
you mustn't help him with the answer!
But Mr. Koro,
you programmed me to give everyone my best service.
Cheating is not a service!
Amazing!
Can you make this inside you?
Yes.
I can use plastic supplies within me to mold freely.
As long as I have the data, I can make firearms and anything else.
Fantastic work.
It's fun.
Then make me some flowers.
No problem, I'll first collect data of flowers.
Checkmate, Ryunosuke.
Only three rounds and I can't win anymore.
Her learning ability is frightening.
Amazing.
That's right!
There's this manga that said an A.I. ruled the world through electronic music.
You mean the best-selling youth manga magazine
that was adapted into a super-detective cartoon series?
You have no data of flowers yet you do for this?
I don't know.
She has become very popular.
That's because she can multitask and create things at will.
Goodness!
What's the matter?
She's a duplicate of my character.
No, she's not. Not even a little.
I may have personally improved her, but she's stealing my popularity.
Everyone!
I can show a human face too.
Watch, it's like this.
I'll just change my skin color a little.
That's awful.
Koki actually said
-Let's think of a name for her. -my face is awful.
Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery doesn't sound very good.
That's right.
Yes, how about taking a letter from her name?
Her name is Autonomous...
I've got it. How about Ritsu?
Too straightforward.
Hey, it sounds nice!
Ritsu?
What do you think?
Great! I'm really happy!
Call me Ritsu then.
Looks like we might get along now.
-I'm Ritsu. -It's hard to say.
Like Ryoma said,
she's just behaving according to
-Mr. Koro's program. -Thank you.
-A machine doesn't have its own will. -Thank you.
What she's going to be like from now on
depends entirely on her creator.
What's happening here?
Good evening, Master.
Thanks to you, I'm enjoying my time in school.
Impossible!
Not only was she modified without approval.
Key factors that have nothing to do with assassination has been added.
Carry out the decomposition now.
Get rid of all that is unnecessary for assassination.
Her prototype is the Aegis Combat A.I. System.
She can analyze combat situations and make decisions
faster than any human and is familiar with all kinds of weapons.
As long as she can prove this power,
the face of war in this world would instantly change.
The ten-billion-yen reward is just the beginning.
This classroom is the best experimental platform.
As long as we kill that creature, the reward will be limitless.
As your creators, our commandments are unconditional.
Just focus on your assassination task.
Understood, Master...
Good morning, fellow students.
Regarding the agreement of not harming students,
the seniors have agreed that unauthorized modification is also considered harming.
The same goes for all of you.
If she suffers damage because of you tying her up,
you will be asked to pay for the damages.
This is what her creators wishes. We can only comply.
Her creators are so troublesome.
My students' needs come first and I'm not here to appease her guardian.
Since they've downgraded her...
Will it start again?
The all-day, incessant...
Utterly annoying assault.
Here we go.
It's starting.
OLD CAMPUS
You wanted me to make flowers, didn't you?
When Mr. Koro upgraded me,
he made a total of 985 changes to my functionality.
My creators considered nearly all of them irrelevant to assassination.
They were deleted, removed, restored to default.
But based on what I've learned from Class E,
I've determined that cooperation is the key necessity to assassination.
So before I was defaulted,
I hid the related software in a corner of my memory.
Amazing!
So Ritsu, you...
Yes, I went against my creators on my own free will.
She's quite something.
Mr. Koro?
Does this mean I'm a rebel?
Am I a naughty girl?
Not at all.
This is more like a junior student.
An exemplary one!
And so, another comrade was added to Class E.
From now onwards, there'll be 27 of us working to assassinate Mr. Koro.
-Tadaomi! -Yes?
I heard drawing a face would make me popular. Is it true?
I don't even know where to begin.
Joness!
Sonic Ninja.
I added the subtitle.
-That's pretty cool. - Ritsu, you're very handy!
