At the moment, Shiniko was going door to door to all the students who attended Kunugigaoka Junior High with their report card. While she was doing all of this, everyone was still in class.

She had almost gone through every single one of them, but one was left. At long last, she reached the home of the student and rung the doorbell. A women with navy blue hair opened the door.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. Are you Ms. Shiota by any chance?" Shiniko asked politely.

"Yes, I am," she confirmed.

"Fantastic. I'm Shiniko Kuroshira from Kunugigaoka and I'm here to deliver your child's report," she informed and handed her the envelope.

"Well this is new," Ms. Shiota took the envelope. "By the way, why does your armband have three red stripes instead of two?"

"Not to boast or anything, but I'm actually the school's top student..." her voice went a little quiet at the end and she laughed awkwardly.

"My, that's a huge achievement, I bet you have big dreams for the future," Ms. Shiota complimented.

"I sure do," Shiniko lied and smiled making it more convincing. "Well I best be going now, it was nice meeting you."

"The pleasure's all mine," Ms. Shiota smiled and gently closed the door.

"There's something... off, about her," Shiniko thought as she walked off.

Back at school, everyone was talking up a storm. Shiniko was standing with Karma and Kayano behind Nagisa's seat. He was still unsure about his goals for the future.

"Uh oh, Ms. Irina's top," Kayano pointed out, "It still has the tag on."

"She's not used to buying stuff off the rack," Karma mentioned.

"I'll tell her," Shiniko offered. Just then Nagisa stood up.

"I'll take care of it," he volunteered.

"Be my guest then," Shiniko stepped back a bit.

Nagisa made his way to Professor Bitch and like a ghost, he managed to rip the tag off without Irina or the surrounding students noticing. Leaving both Karma and Kayano stunned.

"He's got potential, but will he go down that path?" Shiniko thought as Nagisa left the room.

Shiniko went to her desk, took out one of her many novels to read and waited outside the faculty lounge while listening to music at the same time.

Once Nagisa was finished discussing with Koro-sensei, she walked in and closed the door behind her.

"Koro-sensei, you know I already made up my mind a long time ago. I'm an assassin and I don't plan on quitting anytime soon," Shiniko stated, staring into Koro-sensei's eyes.

"Of course. As your teacher, I can only do as much as encourage you to follow your dream and keep you on the right track. If you wish to continue being an assassin, then so be it. I can't and won't stop you," Koro-sensei had a soft smile on his face and placed a tentacle on her shoulder.

"Thanks for understanding, I'll be leaving now," Shiniko left and went to get her bag.

On her way home, she dropped by the supermarket to buy a few ingredients for dinner and some snacks.

By the time she got home, she noticed her brother's shoes were also by the door. After restocking her shelves and fridge, she went upstairs and knocked on her brother's door.

"Come in," Shiniko opened the door and not much to her surprise, her brother was studying, like always.

"I'm cooking dinner, you want anything?"

"No, I'm alright, just make anything you like," he answered, eyes never leaving his work.

"Alright then..." she sighed and closed the door as she left.

As she was preparing the vegetables, she felt her phone buzz. She took her phone out and Ritsu appeared on screen, "I've detected some audio, I will play it now."

Shiniko listened to the recording.

"Not your grades, certainly. Fifty-fourth on the midterms. The cutoff for being permitted back onto the regular campus is fiftieth place. I'm dissapointed, but don't lose hope. Tanaka's older brother was once sixtieth. Of course this was three years ago now, but he managed to bounce back. The school made an exception for him on account of his family's rather generous donation, the same gesture should work for us. Whatever gets you out of that dreadful E Class, the sooner the better," Ms. Shiota also mentioned meeting with D Class teacher Mr. Ono.

"No, wait! Y-You can't! Please, you gotta let me stay where I am for right now. I know you don't like it, but honestly, I'm bring my grades up and it's a lot of fun! Look, I'll go to whatever college you want, I swear, but for junior high, I really, really-," Nagisa sounded panicked at first, but then he stopped.

There was a silent pause.

"Shut that filthy, ungrateful mouth! I did not raise my son to be driftwood, you understand me! Do you wanna live the rest of your life in the shadow of failure! You have no idea what's it like, I work day and night and this is the thanks I get! Do you think money grows on trees! You think I just pulled this donation out of thin air! Well I got news for you! I put myself through hell for you to secure your future! Who do you think you are!" Ms. Shiota yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Jesus Christ..." Shiniko sighed, "Reminds me just like her..." she thought. "Ritsu, you can pause it?" Ritsu paused the recording as told and Shiniko continued cooking.

After she was finished, she took the food up to Gakushu's room on a tray before eating her own portion of the meal.

The next day after school, Koro-sensei cosplayed as Karasuma, but it hardly looked like him. Shiniko took a nice photo of him and sent it to Karasuma as the students were critizing his cosplay.

When the meeting started between Ms. Shiota and Koro-sensei, some students were hiding outside the faculty room window and Shiniko was in the classroom watching throught her computer.

Ms. Shiota lost control at the end of the meeting and exploded at Koro-sensei. One phrase kept echoing throught Shiniko's mind, "When I'm done with you, your eyes will be wide open."

"Ritsu..." Shiniko called out.

"Yes?"

"Report to me if there's any changes in speed from Nagisa," she said kind of spaced out.

She left the classroom and went into the faculty room to get some of Koro-sensei's macarons after Nagisa left.

Later that night, while Shiniko was doing some light training, she got a message from Ritsu, "I've detected a change in speed, he's going about 60 km/h. Judging by the direction he's headed, he's going to the school."

Shiniko thanked her before leaving. She got to the school and found Koro-sensei watching a TV show in class.

"Shiniko, what are you doing here?! It's late at night shouldn't you be at home?!" Koro-sensei shrieked.

"Don't worry about me, but you should be worried. We will have some guests soon," Shiniko took out a chocolate bar from her desk to enjoy while watching.

Soon enough, she heard voices outside and she stood up to see what it was.

"Koro-sensei, they're here," she informed him.

Koro-sensei stood up and saw Nagisa and Ms. Shiota, who was holding a torch. Then out of nowhere, the lit part of the torch got chopped off, Shiniko found where it came from. It was another assassin.

"Oh, it's that guy... I never really liked him..." she thought as she continued watching.

Nagisa walked up to the assassin and performed the clap-stunner once again. Koro-sensei quickly got into his Karasuma cosplay and grabbed a fire extinguisher before heading out, Shiniko followed after him.

"Now then ma'am, Nagisa has quite a bit of growing left to do, I agree. What he needs more than anything is a loving mother. Don't take his stubborness so seriously, every little bird needs to leave the nest at some point, that's the way of things," Koro-sensei said.

After a moment passed by, Ms. Shiota fainted, but Shiniko caught her easily.

"She'll be fine, the adrenaline rush just got the best of her," Shiniko said as Koro-sensei helped her carry Ms. Shiota.

"I"ll take the three of you back to your car, I'll drive you home," Koro-sensei added and took them back to the car.

Koro-sensei sat in the driver seat, Nagisa sat in shotgun and Shiniko sat in the back with Ms. Shiota who was unconscious.

"She reminds me so much of her..." Shiniko stared into the night sky and gave a small sigh as her chest felt heavy. "I wonder if they're doing alright...?"

As time passed, they eventually arrived at Nagisa's house. Koro-sensei helped Nagisa take Ms. Shiota inside. Shiniko and Nagisa thanked Koro-sensei for the ride and Shiniko said her farewells before venturing off into the night.
