Newsflash.
Teach us, Kunudon!
Hello, everyone. I'm Kunudon.
Master Kunudon!
Students with the best performance at Kunugigaoka
will be given a very special privilege.
Vested interest.
Spend three days and two nights at warm Okinawa's luxury summer school.
Public travel documents.
The school pays for the hotel and all services that come with it.
The students can study as much as they want.
Sumptuous entertainment.
Yes!
What?
What do you mean the students of E Class are going?
EPISODE 17
Come here and see, there are many of them.
The summer vacation begins.
With it, comes the freedom of being out of school.
That's what I think anyway.
Why do we need to come to school?
It's not like that.
I feel embarrassed to be seen catching insects at my age.
I grew up in the city.
I've always wanted to do this.
And Karma said he saw a tree with lots of bugs.
But I didn't expect Hiroto to come too.
I didn't know you'd be interested in this.
Aren't we assassinating in the southern part of the island resort soon?
So don't you feel that something is missing?
What's missing?
Money!
You need money if you want to hook up with a pretty girl in swimsuit.
It's no use catching this kind of bugs.
Is it a giant stag beetle?
I hear that kind of bug is worth tens of thousands of yen.
I can auction them off online for a huge profit.
We should make enough to buy us an expensive dinner and a hotel room!
Has Hiroto forgotten what we came here for?
It's totally unlike the vacation plans of a typical 15-year-old boy.
That won't do.
Giant stag beetles are outdated.
-Hinano! -Good morning!
So everyone's here to try and make some money.
Hinano, why do you say giant stag beetles are outdated?
That's because
even though it was worth a lot during the time we were born,
but artificial breeding technique of the insects are so advanced
that the market is saturated, thus prices have reduced.
Is this the giant stag beetle slump?
I thought selling these insects would be enough
to cover the expenses of dating a girl.
No way.
A girl is worth more than that now.
Do you know about these things, Hinano?
-Do you like insects? -Yes, I love all living things.
Come on, this is a good opportunity to go insect-hunting.
The more people involved, the better the chance of finding them.
Childlike and naive Hinano
is unrivaled in her knowledge of living creatures.
To us increasingly inferior boys,
she's a very good help.
We didn't do too badly.
Did you set up this snare?
My homemade trap.
I set it up last night.
There are about 20 more of them besides this one.
If things go well, we can make a thousand yen each.
Not bad for a casual job.
I hope I can catch the insect I've been looking for so long.
The most ineffective trap.
Do you call yourselves the E Class?
Taiga!
Is this the time to earn a trifling thousand yen?
The trap I set up will definitely rake in ten billion yen.
-By ten billion yen, you mean... -That's right.
Because we plan to conduct the assassination in that southern island.
So that octopus will be taking it easy before that.
This is what I'm looking for.
STAG
He's taken the bait.
He went right into my pornographic magazine trap.
Amazing.
Mr. Koro who's so proud of his speed is absolutely still.
Does that book suit his taste?
Besides, why is he dressed like a stag beetle?
Is that his idea of a camouflage?
How pathetic.
There's one in every mountain.
A hotspot for discarded pornographic magazines.
Children who find their dreams there
will grow old enough to buy their own pornographic magazines.
Then they themselves will leave their dreams here.
This is the place where those dreams will never stop.
It's good you're all here. Come and help me.
Let's use our pornographic power
to put him in a dream he'll never wake up from.
Looks like our inferiority has reached a point of no return.
I've done a lot of research on the things that he likes.
I couldn't buy those things, so I found a few.
Doesn't Mr. Koro like any buxom girl?
That may be true in the real world,
-but these magazines are the dreams. -Surging waves.
Each one seeks his ideal type in those books.
Whether photos or manga,
the smallest difference will bring different responses.
Taiga, you're awesome.
So for a month,
you've been exchanging pornographic magazines and studying his responses?
A grown man
shouldn't be looking at pornographic magazines for a whole month.
How pathetic.
Hinano, it's just like your traps.
Didn't you study how those creatures get lured into your traps too?
-Yes. -I have a dirty mind.
I don't care if it's despicable to you.
But it's because I'm more dirty-minded than anyone else that I know this.
Pornography can save this world.
Why does he seem so cool?
I'm heading in.
I've set up a netful of BB pellets underneath those pornographic magazines.
He's so absorbed right now he's sure to be caught.
Who'll help me cut the rope to mobilize the net?
I'll jump in there and finish him with the knife.
Anything can become a sharp sword if one polishes it carefully.
Taiga's pornographic sword could possibly be the death of Mr. Koro.
What's the matter?
His eyes seem to have popped out.
There's nothing on my data on that.
What kind of pornography caused that?
I found you.
Miyama stag beetle.
And look at the color of its eyes.
-Mr. Koro, is it white? -Yes, Hinano.
-You got it right. -Wonderful!
-I've been looking for it for a while. -Yes, they have it on this mountain too.
One more step and we would have got him!
-I just don't understand what the fuss is. -Miyama stag beetle!
Giant stag beetle and a girl jumping on pornographic magazines.
It's an astonishing sight.
This is terrible!
How embarrassing!
I'm very ashamed.
An educator showing an unbecoming side of himself.
I knew right from the start there was a trap beneath all those books.
I still couldn't stop myself from being lured by the books I like.
Does he know from the start?
What's this, Hinano?
Is that the Miyama stag beetle?
They're much cheaper than a giant stag beetle in games.
The price of Miyamas has gone up lately.
It's because they're still hard to breed.
-This beetle should be around 20,000 yen. -Twenty thousand?
And look at its eyes carefully.
They're usually black, but this one has white eyes.
I taught you about albinism during biology class, didn't I?
Is it the very rare creatures that are born white?
That's right.
The albinism in stag beetles only appears in their eyes.
This type of albinism called "Miyama white eye" is very rare.
It also has very high academic value.
It could be sold for a few hundred thousand yen at least.
What?
I told Mr. Koro that I'd like to see it with my own eyes.
So he promised to help me look for them with his focal eyes.
Okay, inferior classmates.
-Raise your hands if you want it. -I want it!
-What should I do? -I was the one who caught it!
Assassination, pornography and living creatures.
There was much to discover during summer school.
We're one week away from the assassination trip to the southern island.
The whole class got together for final training and planning.
You brats.
It's summer vacation and you're working until you're drenched in sweat.
You're being really hard on yourselves.
Ms. Bitch, why don't you train with us?
Your shooting and knife skills aren't much better than ours.
Grown-ups are cunning.
I'll be using your strategies and steal the limelight.
Are you confident in yourself, Irina?
Master Lovro?
I invited him here as a special summer instructor.
As a professional hitman, he'll give us valuable tips on the students' strategies.
Rest for just one day,
your fingers and wrists will forget how to kill.
If you don't want to get rusty, hurry up and change!
-Yes, of course! -Even Ms. Bitch
doesn't dare to go against her master.
Speaking of which, he looks very fierce.
Thank you for your help.
To complicate matters,
I couldn't contact those outstanding assassins.
Was it that when they heard even the pros failed one after another,
they got scared?
It's possible.
We can only depend on them now.
Besides,
he's not here today.
Right.
He's gone to Mount Everest as he said he would.
-That's good then. -Karuizawa?
-Keeping the strategy a secret -If you're serious, go to the peak
-is essential in assassination. -of Everest.
I see.
First, destroy his seven tentacles according to the agreement.
Then the whole class jumps in immediately to deliver the fatal blow.
I understand up to this point.
But what's this "psychological attack" right at the beginning?
First, we go all out on him to slow him down.
Mr. Koro was looking at pornographic magazines before this.
You must keep this a secret from the class.
He even gave us popsicles.
As if a popsicle is good enough to keep our mouth shut.
We're going to make a concerted effort to teach him a lesson!
We'll use that information to blackmail him.
We'll use this method to put him into a corner.
A very cruel assassination method.
But what's important is the fatal blow.
This needs precise timing and perfect aim.
Are you worried about this class' shooting ability?
On the contrary.
Those two are particularly exceptional.
Ryunosuke Chiba.
He's excellent at spatial calculations.
In terms of long-distance shooting, he's an unparalleled sniper.
And Rinka Hayami has dexterous fingers and a very good eyesight.
An expert soldier who's capable of annihilating a living target.
They're both not the high-profile type.
They are the kind who let their results do the talking.
Even I would like to have them as my students.
The others too have progressed greatly.
You were able to unearth and nurture their abilities in a very short time.
They have great potential.
This way, your aim is stabilized, right?
Some find it more comfortable to shoot sitting cross-legged.
Yes.
Worthy of a professional!
Looks like you can't synchronize your breathing.
Don't force yourself. Shoot in the way that's most comfortable for you.
I suddenly want to ask him something.
I want to ask this man who's an expert on assassins.
Master Lovro.
This boy...
What is it?
What makes a top assassin?
Up close, I can see that he has very high potential.
Also...
Are you interested in the assassin's world?
Not really.
Yes.
"The top assassin".
There's only one person on this planet who is worthy of that title.
As usual, in our line of work,
no one knows his real name.
He only uses one nickname.
They call him
"The Reaper".
He's incomparably elusive, cold-blooded and heartless.
And has killed innumerable victims.
People even call him "Death".
If you keep failing to kill your target,
I think he'll show up eventually.
He actually exists.
We can't afford to miss this southern island chance.
So, young man,
let me show you a surefire technique.
A surefire technique?
That's right.
This professional assassin is personally teaching you
a surefire technique.
So our southern island assassination trip got underway.
Traveling by boat is anything, but fun.
I feel like everything inside my head is going to spurt out.
Mr. Koro, come on, get up!
You can see it now.
Six hours from Tokyo.
We've reached the place where we'll kill Mr. Koro.
It's the island!
Welcome to the Fukuma Resort Hotel.
Please have some complimentary tropical fruit juice.
-Cool! -The scenery is so bright and beautiful.
We can go to the beach directly from the hotel.
They have a lot of leisure activities too.
We'll carry out our plan after dinner.
We'll have some fun first, Mr. Koro.
We'll do it in groups just like we did during school excursions.
Agreed!
Play and kill with all your might.
That's what this assassination summer vacation is all about!
Looks like one glider's going very fast.
Vertical maneuver and then a left spin.
That's an impossible move.
That's cheating, Mr. Koro.
The difference in propulsion power is too great.
Instantaneous velocity topped at 150km/h.
A fighter jet's performance depends on its engine.
And who are you acting as?
-Jiro Horikoshi. -His voice actor, maybe?
I just don't get you!
The man didn't fly the machines, he just built them!
You didn't get even one right!
Group One is doing a good job at luring him away.
Yes, great job.
And with a little assassination mixed in,
he doesn't notice what the other groups are doing.
It's our group's turn now.
We have to change as soon as we've done our part.
Right!
We pretend to play, but we're totally determined.
To ensure that our assassination plans go smoothly,
we carefully observe the site.
What look is that, Mr. Koro?
I've got a sunburn.
I only got shaded by the front section of the glider.
Right, aren't you going to watch dolphins, Group Four?
Yes, but we're going by boat. Is that okay?
To the ocean!
While one group was having fun with Mr. Koro,
other groups were preparing in earnest.
Where's Mr. Koro?
He's visiting underwater caves with Group Three.
He won't be able to see what we're doing here.
So we're free to choose our sniping positions.
Let's get started now.
Those two are so calm and collected.
They look professional.
What's happened?
There isn't a single person on the beach.
Those were the last guests who left just now.
The hotel and its surroundings have been booked by E Class.
Stop being nosey!
Why does this happen each time I make a debut in my swimsuit?
This is an unprecedented large-scale plan of assassination.
So far, everything's going according to plan.
Hey, Tadaomi.
I want to entice a man.
-Hey. -The only worry is...
You're so spontaneous.
Surely it's not because there's no one else here that you...
-What are you doing? -Irina, I want to ask you something.
As a professional assassin, you have said,
"Things seldom go according to plan."
That's true.
I've seen the plans.
Such an elaborate plan will go wrong once or twice.
Did you think I was just having fun?
I'm earnestly working on getting my share of the reward.
The moment something goes wrong with those brats' plan,
I will have the chance.
And I won't let it slip.
I hope the assassination is successful this time.
That was crazy fun!
I'm so tanned now.
You're burnt now!
Even your teeth are burnt.
We can't even see your expression.
Mr. Koro, the assassination will be after dinner.
No problem, let's go to the shipboard restaurant.
How much fun does that octopus want?
On the other hand, we have to pretend to have fun while we prepare.
It's so exhausting!
As long as our plan works out, we can have our fun tomorrow.
Yes, let's give it our all this time.
We booked this shipboard restaurant for tonight's dinner.
Let's enjoy the sea view as we leisurely savor our food.
I see.
First, you get me really seasick to weaken me.
Of course.
This is also one of the methods of assassination.
Precisely.
But do you think all will go so smoothly?
To assassinate someone so filled with vigor like me,
-seasickness won't be enough. -You're too burnt!
Am I really that burnt?
It's not just the expression, we can't tell front from the back either!
It's so troublesome. Think of something.
Have you all forgotten?
I can molt.
As long as I shed this dark skin,
I'll be back to normal.
You molt once a month.
I can use it that way.
It's handy when I encounter dangerous situations...
What an idiot.
He actually weakened himself just before his own assassination.
Why couldn't we kill this idiot before?
For this very day,
we've been doing special training the whole summer to prepare.
And we've been thorough.
This time, we will definitely
pierce Mr. Koro through with the sword.
Okay, Mr. Koro.
We will begin once dinner is over.
The meeting place is this way.
It's an annex of the hotel.
A floating chapel.
Take a seat, Mr. Koro.
There's no escape for you here.
An ideal place for assassins.
We'll start by watching a movie.
Your knowledge, diligence and sincere efforts
is what I enjoy most.
I look forward to an all-out assassination!
