A few days had already passed since the Kyoto trip, now it was back to the same old school life added with the assassination. That morning the students were all walking to the old campus at the mountain, not having any knowledge of the suprise that was about to happen.

"That was one fun school trip." Nagisa commented as he and Sugino walked to their classroom.

"But now it's all back to normal." Sugino sighed.

"You call this normal?" Nagisa questioned with a sweatdrop.

"Yo!" Isogai called for the three of them from behind, getting Sugino and Nagisa's attention. "Weird, Miyazaki's not with you?" The boy asked, confuse of why Hanako isn't present.

"That's what I said earlier." Sugino commented.

"Ohayo, Isogai-kun." Nagisa greeted the dark brunette and answered his question. "Yeah, Hanako isn't going to school. Called in sick, she has a high fever."

"Oh, was it beacuse of what happened during our school trip?" Isogai questioned again.

"I wouldn't blame her, she must have been really scared and stress after that." Sugino added, sympathting his classmate.

"Eh, partially, yeah. Though Hanako tends to get really sick from time to time." Nagisa briefly explained to the two boys.

"Well, I do hope she get well soon."

"She will don't worry." The bluenette assured.

"Anyways... Did you guys see that group email from Karasuma-sensei." Isogai quickly changed the topic.

"Yup."

"It was about a transfer student, right?" Sugino asked for clarification as Isogai took out his phone.

Sugino hummed, reading the email from Isogai's phone. "Hmm. Sounds like another pro killer to me."

"So now they're bringing in student assassin." Nagisa slightly frowned.

"If they're transfer student..." The boy trails off for a moment. "Maybe they'll be our age, not like Bitch-sensei."

Out of nowhere Okajima sprung in front of them with a raised finger as he spoke; "On that note... "

The sudden appearance of the boy made Sugino slightly jump back. "Where'd you come from?!"

"I was curious too," Okajima pretend he didn't hear Sugino's question, continuing to speak. "so I asked Karasuma-sensei if he had a photo." He said, as he pulled out his own cellphone from his pocket to show the three boys the photo of the new student. "Here's what he sent back!"

The photo was a girl with lilac hair with red eyes and was somehow Okajima's wallpaper.

"Oh! A girl!" Sugino exclaimed.

"You made it your wallpaper, huh?" Nagisa questioned.

"She's pretty cute!" Isogai commented.

"Right? Super cute!" Okajima swooned, hugging his phone. "Oh man, I sure hope we hit it off!" He shouted as he was making a fuss.

"She doesn't look like a killer." Isogai stated, Nagisa agreeing with him. As Kataoka and Kurahashi walked passed them, but did nothing and ignored it.

"Dial it down a notch, Okajima." Sugino tried to calm down the fanboying pervert. Finally getting Okajima to stop his fanboy, the boys and the rest of the students walked towards their campus.

'Assassin or not, any new student is always met with a mix of anticipation and unease. What's she like? What's her assassination style? We were brimming with curiosity.'

"I wonder if she's here yet." Sugino wondered, as he opened the door to the classroom, with the other three behind him. "You know, the new girl."

But something caught their attention and it wasn't the new student that they saw, it was rather instead a large rectangular machine, placed at the back of the room, one seat beside Hanako's desk.

"The hell's this?" Maehara asked, as he and the other students gathered around this mysterious machine.

Then, a faced appeared on the screen. "Ohayōgozaimasu." The girl from Okajima's picture greeted, which made the students gasp. "I will be joining your class. My designation is Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery. It's a pleasure to meet you." Before the screen turned black.

'Didn't see that coming.' The boys simultaneously thought in disbelief.

Homeroom had finally commenced, Karasuma stood in front with the his back facing them writing on board, his fist shaking at his side, as the man was trying to keep his calm composure as he speaks. "As I'm sure you know, this is your new classmate: Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery-san from Norway." As the he said its name, Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery appeared on the machine screen once again with the students eyeing it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." She(?) said and disappeared again.

'Must be rough on Karasuma-sensei.' Kayano mentally said.

'I would go crazy if I had to act like everything was normal here.' Sugaya thought as well.

Meanwhile Koro-sensei tried to stifle his laughter, which obviously failed doing so.

"Don't laugh! You're no better than her!" Karasuma rebutted to him, before turning back to the class, who just stared at the machine, as he spoke to the octopus "Just so you know, she's registered here as a student. She'll be sitting there and aiming her funds at you, but under no circumstances may you fight back. You're not permit harm any of the students. That's was the agreement, right?"

"I see." Koro-sensei nodded, placing a tentacle under his face. "So your exploiting a loophole in my teaching agreement to call a machine my student. Very well."

"Welcome to the E Class Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery-san."

"Thank you, Koro-sensei."

•

Class had started as usual with Koro-sensei teaching them, it's just a usual day for them. It would have if it wasn't for the new student, who no one expected to be a machine.

"Now, of these three characters here..." Koro-sensei lectured after he had wrote on the board as everyone listened to their lesson. "One of them is already dead."

"But how's it going to attack?" Kayano whispered to Nagisa, who slightly leaned in to hear it clearly.

"How's what?" The boy whispered back to her, both him and the greenette turned to look at the machine.

"They call it a fixed artillery, but then where are the guns?"

"Hmm... Maybe-" Before Nagisa can continue, a loud booming sound came out the rectangular machine and guns came out from its sides. "I knew it!"

"Wow!"

Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery started shooting the teacher with no mercy, not even caring for the others, as for the rest of the students let out a collective gasp and leaned forward to protect their heads with their arms.

"Four shotguns and two machine guns." Koro-sensei said whilst dodging the in coming bullets. "That's a veritables cascade of bullets, buts it's just what I've come to expect my students. and discharging during class is prohibited for safety reasons." Koro-sensei scolded, swatting a bullet with a chalk like it was just a small fly.

The machine retracted its gun back and the AI female appeared on the screen. "I will be careful. Preparing to attack." And then disappeared again was replaced by different codes.

Outside the classroom Karasuma-sensei and Bitch-sensei were watching.

"Now we'll see what she's made of." Karasuma mumbled, a hand placed on his chin. " She's has the ability to evolve, you see."

"Recalculating trajectory. Correcting angle."

"Entering auto-evolution phase 5/28/02."

"Tsk, tsk. Will you ever learn?" Koro-sensei uttered disapprovingly, waving the chalk. As the guns once again came out and started shooting him again.

'This attack is identical to the first!' Koro-sensei thought, everything around him were moving slow. 'Just as expected from a machine. Given that, I need only utilize my chalk the same way and...' A bullet just then came flying towards him and Koro-sensei was going pushed it away with the chalk. No one expected a bullet would actually hit and destroy the tip of his tentacle.

They stared with shocking expression, disbelief, even Koro-sensei himself was surprise that his new AI student landed a hit.

'A blind spot!' Koro-sensei thought, replaying the hidden attack in his mind. 'A hidden pellet... The second pellet flew along the same trajectory as the one I blocked, hiding it from my sight!'

"Left fingertip destroyed." Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery claimed. "The newly added secondary gun has proven effective." It said, retracting the guns.

"She improves her weapons and program everytime she learns her targets defense patterns, gradually in on her foe." Karasuma-sensei voiced out.

The whole class were all staring back at the AI machine listening to its saying.

"Probability of killing you with the next attack: less than 0.001 percent." Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery calculated. "Probability of killing you with the attack after that: less than 0.003 percent. Probability of killing before graduation:" The lilac haired girl appeared once again. "greater then 90 percent."

Koro-sensei was probably taken aback and was quite anxious.

"Now then, Koro-sensei: resuming attack phase."

Everyone stared in disbelief but they couldn't do anything now, because again, she sent a wave of bullets to Koro-sensei, who continuously dodging the anti-sensei BBs. Meanwhile, the students all had to duck their heads down as to not receive the unfortunate end of the stick and have a bullet get stuck in their head.

"Near misses: two."

"Confirmed hit."

"To calculate projected estimates, now adding four main guns." The AI said, even more guns were added which means more bullets. "and resuming attack."

We underestimated her.

Or rather...

We didn't see her for what she was.

There before our eyes was an honest-to-goodness killer!

From the back of the room Karma had taken out of his phone from his pant pocket and started recording a short video of the chaos happening inside the classroom that their new A.I. classmates was causing, sending the video to a certain silverette female with the caption: " This is real action drama shit🍿🔫"

"An auto-evolving fixed artillery. Imagine that." Said Bitch-sensei, staring at the scene that was occurring inside the classroom.

"She's shooting BB pellets right now but cutting-edge military tech in there." Karasuma-sensei told the blonde lady beside him. "Surely this will do the trick."

Bitch-sensei scoffed lightly, wearing a smirk. "You think it'll be that easy? If it were that cut-and-dried, I wouldn't be teaching here." She said then left the chaotic event.

Class had finally ended and as well as the assassination attempt, for now, which wasn't really that great. You know why? Try having a machine put in your class and would continuously keep shooting at your monster teacher, rudely disturbing the class while you try to prevent any of the pellets peirce through your head. Is this gonna be considered normal now? The heck I know?

"So..." Maehara sighed crouching down as he and the rest of the young teens stared at the huge mess of pellets. "We have to clean this up?"

"You wouldn't happen to have a vacuum, eh. Fixed Artillery-san?" Muramatsu teased, faintly tapping the machine but he only received silence. "Tch, the cold shoulder, huh?"

"Give it up." Yoshida groans. "What's the point in teasing a machine?"

Second Period.

She attack again...

Third Period.

And again...

The mechanized transfer student's attacks continued all day long.

Now the whole class were now forced to clean up the room pellet free and they don't very much like it.

Nagisa had set himself on the king size bed in the room of the young Miyazaki. That is correct. Nagisa right now was inside the Miyazaki residence, visiting his best friend, who was sitting on her bed with her back leaned agaisnt the headboard with a cup of tea in her hands as Nagisa told him about the what happened earlier this day and of course to drop some notes he took for her and the assignments they had today.

"Yes, I also got the message that Karasuma-sensei sent us. The new transfer student, it's quite shocking to learn that she's an Artificial intelligence." Hanako uttered with slight disinterest taking a sip of her tea.

Nagisa was stunned to hear about her knowing the fact their new classmate was an A.I. "How did you know about that?" The boy asked.

"Hm, Akabane-san sent me a video of the chaos that had went down there. Must be pretty shitty. Said it kept disrupting the class." She spoke nonchalantly, setting her tea on her lap for a moment to take her phone to show the video Karma had took. The sounds of BBs deployed from the guns and the screams of her classmates blasted from the phone's speaker, Nagisa sweatdropping from the caption Karma added. 'This is real drama shit.🍿🔫'

"Oh, yeah it was a mess." The small boy quietly mumbled as Hanako put her phone away.

'Hanako and Karma-kun had gotten a bit close, huh.' Nagisa thought to himself, not really knowing if he approves the friendship between her and Karma or not. But it wasn't his business on who the girl can befriends, as long as she doesn't get harm or get in trouble.

But although Karma and Nagisa has a distant friendship, the bluenette knew Karma doesn't have any ulterior motives to harm Hanako. He hopes.

"Okay, at least you're aware now, but changing the topic," The faintly shook his head perishing the thought earlier. "What did the doctor say? Will there be new medication to take? No bleeding or attacks? "

Placing her cup on the nightstand, Hanako denied the assumption. "No, no, and, no. No new medicine added, thank goodness though. She only said my body needs a well rest and a lot of nutrients and proteins, and a complete eight hours of sleep. Nothing much." The shrugged her shoulders, taking a bite of the grilled cheese Nagisa had brought up. Watching the melted cheese stretch was satisfying. "Thank you do making the sandwich."

"Goo to know it's nothing serious and you're welcome. I told you to stop pulling all nighters." He scolded his best friend, taking a bite of his own food, which was his favorite, sushi. "When will you able to get back?"

"I think the day after tomorrow, I'll be able to attend class again."

"All right. I'll take notes and bring you any assignments we'll have for tomorrow."

"I appreciate the help, Nagisa."

"It's what are friends for." Said the bluenette, placing his hand on top of Hanako's.

|The Next Day|

"29 and 35 seconds AM. All systems go." The machine started, beginning it's system. "Power-supply voltage: stable. Operation system: normal."

"Recording disk: normal."

"Various devices: normal."

"None unnecessary elements found."

"Program: start."

Various codes showed before her continuing to speak. "Verifying tasks. Today plans: attack per 215 before sixth period, continue analyzing target's evasion pattern..." When the screen opened, she saw tapes were wrapped around, the strip blocking one of her eye.

"Koro-sensei, I cannot deploy my guns like this." She directly spoke to the point. "Please remove my restrains."

"Well, I don't know..." Koro-sensei hesitately said, scratching his head.

"Is this your doing?" The machine questioned as she started explaining. "It is clearly harming me, which is in violation of your agreement."

"Think again." Terasaka respond, throwing a roll of duct tape to the machine. "It was me. You're a pain in the ass anyway you look at it." The brown haired male confessed. "Learn some common sense before you start firin' away, you box of bolts."

"Machines don't even know what common sense even is!" Sugaya said with a mocking tone.

"We'll release you once class is over." Hara spoke in sympathy to the AI.

Sugino then added: "That's how it goes. If we keep getting repeats of yesterday we'll never learn anything."

That same night Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery was all alone in the old campus as she is a machine and doesn't have a home. She was connecting and recording her reports back to her master her mission and the issue that happened this morning.

"Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery to Master: Could not execute expected tasks on day two to unforeseen issue. Probability of correcting problem on my own: zero percent. Probability of assassination by given deadline of graduation may drop considerably."

"Requesting immediate countermeasures."

"Now, now. Don't rely to your parents." Koro-sensei spoke placing a tentacle on top. The AI file pops back out when she heard her target's voice. "I can't really say the tactics they programmed you with are good fit for this classroom. More importantly, you're a student and a transfer student at that. You should try to come up with ways to get along with your classmates on your own." The octopus adviced.

"Get along?" She repeated with a questionable tone.

"Do you know why the students are interfering with your assassination?" Koro-sensei questioned her. The girl didn't answer so, he moved to explain. "As they see it, your attacks disrupt class— and if you did happen to kill me, the prize money would probably all go to your parents. Your assassination has no upside for them at all."

"Now I understand, Koro-sensei." The lilac replied. "I had not considered my classmates' interests."

"Nyuruhuhuhuhu." The teacher laughed at his success. "You are a smart one. Here, I made this for you." He said then brought at something and shows her. "Some apps and some extra RAM. All virus-free, so please accept it."

Plugging the cord to the RAM from behind, new information, data, codes, etc..., had pop up. The view change from a lonely dark empty room to a sunny colorful classroom with the other students all sitted in their seats with Koro-sesnei in front teaching.

"What is this?" The AI asked.

"Simulation software for working with your classmates as you attack." Koro-sensei enlightened  her. "You can see how it will boost your assassination success rate."

"No objection "

"I think you should understand now hoe vital cooperation is to assassination. Well? You'd like to get along with the others, right?" Koro-sensei said.

"I don't know how."

"As you can see, I came prepared!" He exclaimed excitedly, holding out a box of tools, softwares, RAMs, and a baguette?

"What is that?" She had questioned again.

"All the software you need for cooperation and more RAM." The humanoid octopus listed. "Harming you might be against the rules," He stated and then showed various of tools. "but there's nothing in there about increasing your capabilities." He went behind the rectangular machine and opening the latch of tge system.

"Good morning." He whispered before he stated his work.

"Why are you doing this?" Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery asked, questioning his reasons. "These upgrades will only shorten your life expectancy."

"I'm your teacher first and your target second." He respond grabbing a screwdriver. "Yesterday was all it took for me to understand that both your ability and desire to learn are extremely high. Your parents gave you that gift, and it's my job as your teacher to develop it."

The girl stayed quiet as she listened to Koro-sensei's lecture. "Learn to work with your classmates and develop your gifts even further."

"Koro-sensei," She called out for her teacher. "Is this dessert of the World Checklist necessary for cooperation?"

The yellow alien yelps and blushes from embarrassment."I, uh... I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. Too sweet a deal? "

The next day had came and the students are in dread because they were expecting the same thing that had happened the first day the machine came.

"Hey..." Sugino quiet called and asked Nagisa and Hanako, as he stood by the door. "You think she's still gonna be here today?"

"Probably." Nagisa replied.

"Well from what I heard the A.I. hasn't killed Koro-sensei yet, it will be more likely that she will be here to complete her mission." Hanako calmly explained, suppressing a yawn, being able to go back to school again.

The ravenette boy let out a sigh. "We gotta complain to Karasuma-sensei. We can't have class with that thing around!"

The boy opened the door and saw Kataoka and Kurahashi stood there staring at the machine that has a wider screen, which was new.

"She seems bigger..."

The screens lights up and what they saw was unexpected. It was the same girl but the difference is she has blue eyes instead of red, the background, she has a full body, and she's more expressive.

"Ohayōgozaimasu, minna!" She cheerfully greeted and added a smile to it.

"EEEEHHHH???!!!"

"Oh."

"What a beautiful weather we're having!"

"Oh, Ohayou, Koro-sensei!"

"To help her fit in, I gave her a full- body LCD display." Koro-sensei step forward as he explained to his students. "As well as a bod-and uniform-modeling software. I put together myself for 606,000 yen."

"I'm so happy to be able to spend such a refreshing day with all of you." The 2D female brushed some of her locks to the side, smiling brightly. "Good morning, Miyazaki-san! So nice to finally meet you!"

"Add to that her rich expressions and cheerful conversation skills, plus the vast amount of software and memory necessary to run it all: another 1,103,000 yen!"

Hanako sweatdrops. "Okay. Good to know, and nice to meet you too as well Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery-san."

The newly developed A.I. giggled.

Nagisa dumbfoundedly stared. 'The new girl's evolution had taken a strange turn.'

"All I have left in my wallet..." Koro-sensei painfully smiled to them and stuck his tentacle out. "Is five measly yen!"

"You're broke. That's sad, like the author."

"The plants in the garden are turning lovely ang green." Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery said, a bird chirping on her finger, the breeze in there swaying her clothes and hair.

"She got hella cute overnight!" Okajima blushed.

"That is the fixed artillery... right?" Mimura sweatdrops.

"Don't be fooled!" Terasaka grunted. "It's just some program that the octopus loaded up. It might be acting nice, but a machine's a machine." He continued to speak, not having any knowledge that the lilac girl's cheery smike was turning into a frown. "It's still gonna start attack out of nowhere, the dumb box o' bolts."

The girl was hurt by his words obviously, it was even shown in the background, that was now dark and dull and the low rumbling sound. She turned to face him. "I understand how you feel, Terasaka-san. I was like that. Until yesterday." Her eyes started to tear up. "Box of bolts... I-I don't know what to say." She covers her face as she continued to cry, the background was even darker and duller, it was even raining.

"Now look what you did, you made her cry." Kataoka crossed her arms, looking down at Terasaka.

"Terasaka-kun made a 2D girl cry." Hara added.

"Well he's a dumbass, what did you expect?" Even Hanako added to the insult.

"Cut it out! People'll take that the wrong way!" Terasaka screeched.

"I think it's wonderful." Takebayashi spoke pushing his glasses up. "2D... A woman's not a woman until she loses that third D."

"Takebayashi! That's your first line?!" Isogai comically spluttered out.

"Are you sure!" Kimura added.

"Oh, Isogai-kun broke the fourth wall." Hanako unconcernedly said and starting patting the air. "There there, fourth wall-chan."

Karma weirdly looked at the girl beside him with a sweatdrop as he was the only one paying attention to her, thinking if this girl was hallucinating, was she high or something? 'I'm not gonna even question that...'

The 2D female wiped her eyes. "But don't worry, everybody. Koro-sensei taught me the importance of working together." She declared giving a warm smile to them. "I'll hold off on my own assassination attempt until I have your approval. That way, you'll come to like me."

"So please, be nice to her." Koro-sensei said to them raising a tentacle. "Of course... thought I may have given her certain upgrades, I didn't lay a tentacle on her liver instincts."

As if on cue the 2D girl with her new bubbly personality pulled out the guns from the side of the rectangular box and affirming his claim, making the students, mostly the closer ones, startled in the process.

"If you want to kill me, I imagine she'll prove a formidable ally." The octopus grinned as tools suddenly sprout out of his mouth.

Koro-sensei can do anything.

Even turn a machine into a valued member of the class.

•

Class was now on session and unlike the previous days it was calm and quiet, most noise just came from Koro-sensei, this time no attacks to the 2D girl machine.

"Now, the retina contains long, tin rods," Koro-sensei started as he continued to write on the board. "As well as short, fat... what?"

"Sugaya-kun!" He then pointed at the grey haired boy, who was taking a nap.

"Huh? Me?" He sluggishly uttered.

"Answer without looking at your textbook."

"Yikes! Um..." He muttered under he breath as he tried to recall of guess the correct answer of Koro-sensei's question. That's was then he noticed the answer that was written on Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery leg, who was sneakingly giving him the answer.

"Er.... cones."

"Now hang on, Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery-san!" Koro-sensei quickly objects as he scold tge his AI student. "Don't go slipping him the answer!"

"But, Sensei," The lilac girl protest with her eyes wide. "You programmed me to give perks to my fellow students!"

"Cheating is not a perk!"

Classes had finished early than expected and since it was just an hour or so before the class day end. So, half of the students were together with the 2D female, Hara, Kurahashi, Okano, Sugaya, and Yada were admiring the miniature 3D creation of a famous well know sculpture that Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery created.

"Sugoi, sugoi!" Kurahashi awed, admiring the 2D girl's work with Okano beside her.

"Whoa, you can make stuff like this inside you?" Okano asked.

"Yes! I contain supplies of a certain plastic that can model freely." She happily explained to them. "I can make anything if I have the data, not just guns!"

"Wow, what a sculptor!" Sugaya said impressed by her work.

"That's pretty cool! Try making some flowers!" Yada suggested.

"Understood. I will gather flower data!"

"Thanks!"

She then turned to the other side, where Chiba was playing chess with her, with Kataoka, Maehara, and Fuwa watched the game. "Check, Chiba-kun." She announced, moving the chess piece, claiming her victory.

The boy was dumbfounded as he was once again defeated and place his head on the table. "Three matches in and I already can't win."

"She learns so fast." Maehara commented.

"It's amazing."

"Ooh! There was this manga where an AI controlled the world through electronic drugs!" Fuwa exclaimed to them.

At the sidelines Karma had place his chair beside Hanako who was doing nothing but the usual book reading while the red gremlin kept pestering the silverette girl.

"Hey." Karma greeted.

"Good day, Akabane-san." Hanako nodded.

"How are you feeling? Missed two days of school. Didn't have anyone to have fun with." The boy whined, pouting at her.

"Missed me that much huh?" Hanako chuckled, finding Karma's pouty face adorable, he's a like puppy wanting to get her attention. "Well, I'm here now, no need to whine. If you want, we can hang out later after class." She suggested, patting Karma's head catching of guard by the sudden touch. He was literally having a fight to stop himself from turning pick.

The boy smirked in return. "Like a date~?"

"A friendly date with yours truly." She smiled brightly winking at him.

'How can you be so adorable?'

"Do you refer to the super-popular detective manga that was serialized in a major magazine and into an anime?" Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery asked.

"How come you know about that but not about flowers?" The dark purple-ish hairs girl questioned.

"Good question."

"She ended up being relly popular!" Sugino said, as he, Nagisa, and Kayano watch their AI classmate interact with the other students.

Kayano then added to his claim. "Yeah, she can do lots of things at once and make whatever she wants!"

Behind the three, Koro-sensei suddenly exclaimed in a panic. "Oh shoot!"

"What's wrong?" Nagisa asked, turning to their teacher when he had heard his panicked state.

"Her character type is just like mine!"

"It's nothing like yours!"

"I went and upgraded her and now she's encroaching on my popularity!" Koro-sensei started to sweat more with his head down. That's is, until he shouted to take everyone's attention to him. "Look, class! I can put on a human face too, you know!" He then pointed at his round yellow face where a creepy human face appeared before them. "See? I just need to change my skin color a little and—"

"Creepy!"

Annndddd, now he was sulking in front of the class with his back facing them and sitting on the desk after Mimura had called him out. "Mimura-kun... looked at my face.... and called it 'creepy'!"

"Oh, how unfortunate for Koro-sensei." Hanako quietly mumbled behind her hand.

Kataoka turned her attention back to the lilac 2D girl, ignoring their sulking octopus sensei and had suggested; "Hey, why don't we pick a name for her? Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery is a bit mouthful."

"Sure is!" Fuwa hummed at tge idea.

"Let's see... Why don't we take one word in Japanese?" Hara ponders.

"Like 'Jiritsu' for 'automous'?"

"How about 'Ritsu' then?" The short haired girl suggested.

Chiba then lifted his head from the table after hearing the suggestion name. "Cop-out."

"What? It's cute!" Fuwa objected.

"Ritsu..." She repeated the name.

"You okay with that?" Maehara asked.

"I love it!" The 2D AI or now known as Ritsu happily agreed. "So please, call me 'Ritsu'!"

Nagisa walked over to Karma, who was still pestering the girl by poking her cheek, a way to try to annoy her, but in all honesty she wasn't even bother by the slightest, as he wore a smile. "This might just work out." Upon hearing the bluenette's voice he turned his attention him as he and stop annoying the young Miyazaki.

Karma hummed closing his eyes as he replied: "I wonder, it's like Terasaka said: she's following Koro-sensei's program." He then turned his gaze to the group. "It's not like machine's have free will. Wherever she goes from here, it's up to the guys who built her."

"Hey, you might not know that." Hanako spoke her disagreement.

"Hm? What do you mean? Don't know what?" Karma questioned her. But Hanako didn't answer and instead stuck her tongue out as she tuned out the world and was now in her own little world.

Karma was standing beside Hanako with a bored expression, hands inside his pockets, watching the girl skimmed through the aisle of books.

When class has ended the went to to mall for their friendly date— not before telling Nagisa her pans with the red head— there spent an hour in the arcade playing games and literally Karma had proposed a bet to her on who gets the most wins. The loser has to do whatever the winner wished for.

Sadly for him, he lost the bet.

And now Hanako had dragged him the bookshop. That was her wish, to accompany her to the bookshop so she can buy more books. It baffled him that she would waste the wish she won to simple request of accompaning her.

'She can be weird sometimes.' He thought, watching her read the brief summary of the book she took interest.

Stading up from her crouching position, Hanako turned to face Karma. "Hey can you do this for me?" She asked showing her intertwined hands.

"Eh? Why?" Karma raised a questioning eyebrow.

"Just do it. It'll be quick." She ordered the boy, the latter just obeyed her request and just locked his hands together. Grabbing both his wrist to the level of his crotch, Hanako step on his hands with her shoe free foot giving herself a boost to reach the top shelf.

"H-hey—!" Karma on the other hand chocked on air by the surprise, feeling heat come rushing to his neck and ears turning pink, coming face to face with her lower chest, mercury eyes had to gaze away. "W-what the hell are you doing?!" He mentally curse for stumbling over his words.

Hanako then dropped herself holding the book that she took from the shelf. "I was trying to get this." She said showing the book.

The red head glared at her. She could've at least asked him to get the book for her. "Why did you just asked me instead of taking me by surprise?"

"Well," She slurred the word thinking how can she address this. "Knowing the type of person you are, you'll probably make fun of my height and would keep playing with me by making sure the book isn't in my line of reach."

"Okay first of all I would never do that." He argued, trying to make a point but Hanako didn't gave him a room to state his reasoning from the way he was looking at him. A smirk on her lips and a easier eyebrow, eye green staring directly at his already knew that no matter what he would do it anyway.

"Don't give me that look, to you, never." Karma remarked. He closed his mouth when the girl in front didn't stop. Giving out a big puff of air from his nose he admitted his defeat. "Yeah, you got me, I would. Not my fault you're vertically challenged." Karma grinned to her.

Hanako frowned at his words, a vein popping from her forehead followed by a scoff. "Excuse me? I do beg your pardon but I am only six inches shorter than you, Akabane."

"You're still short to me, little elf." He ruffled her hair which earned him to be smack by a book from Hanako.

"I am not an elf, Brachiosaurus-san." She walked off to the register, without Karma throwing another banter.

"Brachi— what now?"

Two hours then spend at the mall, now Karma and Hanako were sitted in the train in an awkward silence as none of the two had uttered a single word at each other. Well, mostly it was awkward for Karma, the silver brat isn't unfazed about this silence and was too busy reading her new damn book Whislt eating the crepe they bought earlier.

At the redhead's right side was two young couple that was about at least at their early twenties maybe. One was a male with grey hair and besides him was a female with short light brown hair. The young couple was having a peaceful conversation exchanging stories about their high school life, their former volleyball club, and their former teammates.

"How are you liking it here? Anything troubling you? To tell me you know." The male asked the girl beside him.

"I'm doing okay, don't worry too much. Getting a bit stressed from all the work." The female replied, smiling at her boyfriend. "Oh, and I'm actually planning to write a book."

Hanako's ears then perked up when the young female adult mentioned of her writing a book. 'Hm, I wonder what the story is about and the genre.' 

"Don't over work yourself, Yuki. Don't skip meals and drink plenty of water." The boy reminded the young woman named Yuki.

"I won't, Koushi. Anyways, how are the others?" She change the topic, directing it to the boy and their friends.

"Doing fine, practicing hard to get to nationals again even when it's months away." The boy, Koushi, chuckled remebering a time when he and his other batched mates visited their kohais.

The female brunette giggle lightly. "You know how energetic they are, especially the freak duo."

Just then the intercom in the train had tuned on and had announced that the train is now stopping at the next station.

Well, here's our stop." The light haired female took hold of this Koushi guy and the couple stood up from their seat and walk towards the train door.

"By the way—" Karma didn't hear anymore of their conversation as they where now out of ear shot.

Karma mentally sighed. Taking out his phone to at least entertain him while since this might get boring.

Karma let out a low whistle staring at the Miyazaki residents. He can only see the front gate but he can tell that she lives in a mansion.

"Damn, aren't you a rich girl." Karma commented, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Dad works very hard." The shrugs. "Thanks for walking me home even though it was unnecessary."

"Hey, I'm a gentleman, and a gentleman never let a lady such as yourself walk home alone, it's dangerous." He politely statement grabbing her hand.

Hanako decided to play along. "How very kind of you, good sir. Thank you for escorting me home." She bowed to him as Karma place a kiss on her hand.

"My pleasure, Lady Miyazaki." The silver haired girl giggled before Karma let go of her hand practically noticing the small patch of pink on her cheeks.

Akabane Karma made this girl. For some reason he felt proud for making Miyazaki Hanako flustered.

Hanako turned back to face the front and pressed the button of the intercom that was attached to the wall, it let out a buzzing noise before the right side of the gate opened and a male welcomed her back.

"I will see you tomorrow, Akabane. Get home safe." She said before the silverette girl entered her home while the guard thank Karma for bringing her safely. Then the gate finally closed leaving Karma standing there. He huffed out a breath walking away from the Miyazaki home to get to his.

Karma then puffed air from his mouth. "Man, I wish I took a picture of her blushing face."

Half of the class had expected to be greet by the cheerful Ritsu the very next day with her bubbly personality and sweet smile, but how very wrong they were. By the time they had came to class Ritsu was back to her usual poker face, red eyes instead of blue, and no smile.

"Good morning, everyone." Ritsu greeted them in a robotic tone.

"The higher-ups have clarified your agreement. According to them any unauthorized modifications will also be considered 'harm'." He notified Koro-sensei, turning his gaze to Terasaka next. "The same goes to you. If you restrict her functionality or cause any damage, you'll be asked to pay compensation."

Terasaka clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"These are her owners' wished. We have to comply."

"Owners? I don't know about that." Koro-sensei scratch his head as he was obviously against this. "I'd like to put my students' feelings before those of her parents."

The after scolding that was done by Karasuma-sensei, Koro-sensei had began class and the students were very anxious as Ritsu haven't done anything to assassinate their teacher.

'If she's been downgraded...' Sugino's thought trailed off trying to be cautious as ever.

'Are we looking at another all-day assault?' Isogai thoughts, keeping an eye on the machine.

Terasaka was very annoyed. 'Man, what a pain in the ass.'

'Here it comes!'

The machine started buzzing, hinting that Ritsu was now going to make her move. The students were bracing themselves, ready to duck down to avoid the pellets that would be coming any seconds.

Booming sounds went off knowing that the guns are now coming out.

'Here we go.'

'I want to go home already.'

But, to everyone's suprise, pellets aren't the one that came out.

"...Eh...?" Hanako muttered quizzically, seeing the bouquet of flowers and petals falling, as if it were confetti.

"I promise that I'd make flowers." Ritsu's mechanical voice said. "Koro-sensei made 985 improvements to my body. My master judged most of them irrelevant to assassination and removed them, deleted them, and restored my factory defaults."

The students all continued to stare in awe, happy about Ritsu's choice.

"But from what I have learned from E Class, I myself decided that my ability to cooperate was essential to assassination, so before it was deleted, I hid the relevant software in the corner of my memory." Ritsu explained to them.

"Wonderful!" Koro-sensei proudly cheered to her. "Ritsu-san, this must mean..."

Ritsu's full body visual appeared on the screen, she was smiling. "Hai! I have defied my master of my own free will!"

The students were glad that Ritsu had escaped her master by her own. Quite the surprise.

"Nice one!" Karma chuckled, lifting his hand to the petals. Turning to the girl besides him he spoke; "You knew this would happen, right?"

Hanako shrugged her shoulders bringing up her hand up to catch a falling petal. "I told you."

"Koro-sensei, that's that mean I'm going through a rebellious phase? Am I a bad girl?" Ritsu queried.

"Not at all! You're a third-year junior high school student, and a fine one at that!" Koro-sensei assured her, the color of his face shifting to a scarlet with a circle on his face. Emphasizing more that what she had done was correct.

And so the E Class gained another member.

Now there are twenty-eight of us trying to kill Koro-sensei.

"Karasuma! Karasuma!" Bitch-sensei called for her colleague, opening the door to the teachers faculty where the male teacher was sitted.

"Is it true that adding a face will make me popular?" She asked holding her chest, showing a lot of her cleavage with a face drawn on.

Karasuma sweatdropped at her bullshit question. "You couldn't be further from the mark!"
