Chapter 30: Strategy
Welp, back to the story!

Nagisa's POV
The assassination trip to the southern island is approaching in a week. We've gathered today in order to cram in some training and planning.
Lovro-san, Bitch-sensei's master, has also come to help us.
I aimed at the Koro-sensei balloon and pulled the trigger. "Pop"
"I did it..." I said as I went back to switch with Hayami-san. "Great job, Nagisa!" Kaede said with a smile.
"Thanks. But I only hit three, though..."
She replied, "Still, I can barely hit one!"
"So," Lovro-san started. "Are you positive that Koro-sensei isn't watching us at the moment?"
Karasuma-sensei replied, "Yeah. As we told you, he's taking a vacation at Mt. Everest right now. My subordinates are keeping watch, so there's no doubt about it."
"Very well, keeping the details of your strategy a secret is crucial." Lovro-san said as he put his gloves on.
Okano-san turned to him, "Lovro-san, you're a hitman dealer, right? So for this assassination, will you..."
"No, I won't be sending a pro this time." He said. "Or rather, I can't. Koro-sensei is very susceptible to smell... It would be especially easy for him to sniff out someone outside of your group. It would be difficult to use the same hitman twice, and on top of that... I've already been dealing with another problem."
"Another problem?" Yada-san said.
"A number of promising hitman I had on hand... Suddenly, I can't seem to contact them."
...He can't contact them?
"And so currently, the number of hitmen I can offer is 0. So it would seem to be best for you guys, who are most familiar to him, be the ones to kill him."
We continued our training as Lovro-san held out a paper. I explained to him, "First, we destroy the 7 tentacles as promised. Then without pause, the entire class shoots simultaneously to bring him down."
He pointed at the paper, "I understand that part, but what's this first one here, the 'Psychological Attack'?"
I looked back at him while holding my sniper rifle, "First, we agitate him to slow down his movement. Because when it comes to attacks lacking bloodlust, Koro-sensei has a weakness for them."
A while back, Koro-sensei was picking up porno magazines and reading them," Maehara-kun started. "You can't keep anyone's mouth shut with just an ice cream bar these days!! The whole class will tease the crap out of him!!" He said while his eyes gleamed.
Ah, he's talking about the time where we went bug hunting with Kurahashi-san and the others.
"We've also secured other material to shake him, so first, we use this to corner him." I said as I held my little notepad.
"What a cruel method of assassination." Lovro-san said as he sweat dropped. "So the important part is this simultaneous shooting at the end. Accurate timing and precise aim are essential."
When it comes to shooting, Chiba-kun and Hayami-san definitely tops us all off.
I looked at everyone, who were all going about in their training.
"You should come with me sometime, Nagisa~" Karma-kun's voice rang in my head.
I looked at the forest of trees. "I suppose I could drop by..."
I walked towards the forest, leaving my gun. I searched for the red head all over the place. "He should be easy to spot, considering his bright red hair..."
And I was right. In the corner of my eye, I saw something red under a tree. I looked at it to confirm and walked towards it.
And there he was, laying down on the tree, while listening to music. Seems like he's sleeping.
"Honestly, why did you even come if you're just gonna skip?" I said quietly.
I bent down, watching him sleep peacefully. "He looks kinda cute..."
I blush, "W-what am I doing watching him sleep!?" I got up, only to be pulled into a hug by him.
Karma-kun smiled, "You finally came! I was waiting, you know!"
I blushed, "S-sorry..."
He positioned me so that I was between his legs as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Geez, why were you pretending?" I said.
He grinned, "I wanted to see your reaction. But as always, you just stayed calm."
I could hear cicadas and the sound of the leaves when the wind blows as we sat under of the tree. The shade was protecting us from the hot sun.
"Hey, Nagisa, I've done it too, you know." Karma-kun said.
"Done what?" I asked.
"Watching you sleep~"
"Oh." I replied.
"Hm? No reaction?" He asked.
"Well, you're a stalker so it's kinda normal for me." I teased.
"Hey, that's mean, Nagisa~"
I chuckled, making him laugh too.
"That was before we started dating. It's pretty amazing how much everything has changed since then." He said.
"Yeah. I remember being so confused about my feelings for you." I replied.
"Yeah, me too."
He nuzzled his head into my neck, "Well, that was the past."
I put my hand on his head, "Yeah."
After a long moment, I got up and reached out a hand to him, "Let's go. You might as well train too while you're here."
He smiled and took my hand, getting up. He put his MP3 player in his pocket and started walking with me.
When we got back, everyone was still training. I took back my gun and started training as well. Karma-kun also started shooting the targets.
In the distance, I could see Lovro-san talking with Takebayashi-kun. I looked at them.
"I want to try asking him something. This guy who knows everything there is about hitmen." I thought.
I walked up to him, "Lovro-san," He turned to look at me. "When it comes to professional hitmen... Personally, I only know Bitch-sensei and you." I said.
"But, from the hitmen you know, what kind of person is the most skilled hitman?"
He asked, "Are you interested in the world of hitmen?"
"Ah, n-no, that's not..."
"Let's see... He doesn't exist among the hitmen I deploy. The best hitman... There is only one person in this whole world who could claim that title." He caught Bitch-sensei's attention.
"This is common in this business, but... No one knows his real name. He's only known by one nickname," He continued.
"They call him the 'God of Death'."
...The "God of Death"...
"It's a trite nickname, right? But in our business, where we deal with death, when you say 'God of Death', he's the only one it ever refers to." He said.
"He's become a man known as Death itself. If you kids find killing to be too big of a task for you... He'll probably show up eventually. He's patiently waiting for an opportunity."
"Someone like that...!! Soon... I'm not letting go of the chance on the southern island..." I thought.
He pointed at me, "Well then, let me teach you a 'Secret Killing Technique'."
"A secret...?"
"That's right. Straight from a pro hitman, you get to learn... A 'Secret Killing Technique'."
...And so, the curtains for the southern island assassination tour were raised.

So I've decided that this will only cover the first season of the anime. Yeah. So it's gonna end soon.
But I plan on making a sequel, if you want. Do you want a sequel? If you do want it, I'll skip ahead to either high school or when they're already working. Which one do you want? Or do you not want a sequel at all?
Thanks for reading this chapter~
