...Why did I keep typing 'Kyoto' as 'Tokyo'...?
Tsk.

Nagisa's POV
Back to normal school days...
Seems like we're gonna get a new transfer student today. A professional assassin.
By the looks of the picture Okajima-kun showed us this morning, she's a girl. And she's really pretty.
I walked into class with Sugino-kun. He opened the door, "Now, is the transfer student here yet?"
We looked around to see a tall, black, metalic... thing at the back. What the heck is that?
Suddenly, the top bit lit up, and it showed a purple haired girl like from the picture, "Good morning. As of today, I will be attending this school. I am 'Autonomously Thinking Fixed Artillery'. It's a pleasure to meet you." And it turned off.
Oh!
Oh.
So that's how it is!! We all thought.
We decided to sit down, and wait for classes to start.
And boy, was she a handful. She pulls out her guns from the side of the box, and shoots like mad every period.
But... she actually managed to hit him!! She added 1 more bullet to the shot, and it hit Koro-sensei's tentacle.
"The killing probability of the next shot is less than 0.001%. The killing probability of the shot after that is 0.003%."
We all looked at her.
"The probability that'll be able to kill you by graduation is more than 90%."
Hold up. 'More than 90%!?'
She might be able to pull this off...
But, she kept shooting the entire day. Second period, third period... We also had to clean up the mess she made. Ohh, the nightmares...
-Time skip-
"I cannot deploy my guns like this, Koro-sensei. Please remove these restraints." The purple girl said.
The black box was all covered up by tape.
Koro-sensei scratched his head, "Hrm... Even if you say it like that, I can't really..."
"These restraints were your doing, weren't they? This is obviously violence against a student."
"You've got it wrong," Terasaka-kun said, while holding up a tape roll. "I did it. This'll probably be interfering with whatever you were planning but, come kill him when you've learned some common sense, you piece of junk."
The rest of the class seemed to agreed, and ended up going along.
She stayed silent.
Class went on without Artillery-san's bullet hell going on.
Soon enough, it was home time.
I grabbed my bag, and Karma-kun approached me. "Hey, Nagisa, wanna go home together?" He asked.
"Sure!"
We walked out of school, and headed towards my house. "That thing's really crazy, huh?" He said.
I nodded, "Yeah. But I'm willing to give her a chance."
He looked at me, "Man, sometimes I just don't understand you."
We continued walking, and we saw a crepe stand, beside a convenience store.
"Is that a new shop?" I looked at it curiously.
He looked at the crepe shop. "I think it is."
"...Speaking of sweets, you still have to take me to that sweet shop."
I blushed, and looked away.
"Yeah. Don't worry, I won't forget."
I kept looking at the shop. Looking at the menu, there were many flavors.
But... dang it, I'm broke right now... I thought as an image of my empty wallet appeared.
Karma-kun seemed to notice me looking at it. "You want one? I'll buy one for you... if you want."
My eyes sparkled, "Yes!!"
Realizing what I just said, I blushed. I cleared my throat, "Well, if you insist."
He smiled, and we went up to the stand. I ended up buying the Choco Delight, crepe with chocolate ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate syrup, and a cherry on top.
"Huwaa... Thanks, Karma-kun!!"
"Yeah." Said Karma-kun as he watched me eat happily.
"You sure eat quickly, is it that good?" He teasingly said.
I decided to tease him back, "...Do you want some?" I asked.
His face went red, "N-no! That's okay!!"
I laughed as we continued walking. We eventually saw my house. The only thing left in my hand was the crepe wrapper.
I ate it all too quickly.
I went up to the door, "See you tomorrow, Karma-kun! Thanks for everything!"
I waved to him, he waved back.
-Time skip-
"You think that thing's gonna be there today?" Sugino-kun said.
"Probably."
He approached the door, "Let's complain to Karasuma-sensei, and tell him it's impossible to go to class with that thing."
We went in, and sure enough, it was still there.
The whole thing lit up, and it showed Artillery-san... smiling brightly? It showed her full body, and she actually had a nice background.
"Good morning, Nagisa-san, Sugino-kun!!"
What!? She's turned into a happy-go-lucky sunshine sparkle girl!!
Me and Sugino-kun did a °O° face.
We later found out that Koro-sensei was behind all this. He spent 80.000 yen on this!!
Everyone's taking a liking to her. Well, except Terasaka-kun, he made her cry.
"He made her cry".
"Terasaka made a 2-D girl cry." They say.
She can do a lot of amazing stuff too. She can make a lot of stuff, as long as she has the data.
We decided to call her "Ritsu". She seemed to like it.
"Looks like things are going well." I said.
"Hmm... Maybe." Karma-kun said, looking at her.
"It's just as Terasaka said. She moves just accordingly to Koro-sensei's progaming. It's not like the machine has a will of her own."
-Time skip-
"Good morning, everyone." Ritsu said dully. No sunshine sparkle here.
Huh? She's back to her old self.
Karasuma-sensei explained, "You have a contract on 'Not inflict harm on a student', but... They said that 'From now on, making enhancements will also be considered harm.'"
"Commencing attack preperations. Please continue the lesson, Koro-sensei." She said.
I sighed. If she's downgraded... that means, that that constant day-long nuisance of a barrage will continue again...
She starts emitting bright light...
Here it comes...!
We all braced for an attack.
Buut... It never happened. Instead, a bunch of flowers appeared from the sides.
"I promised that I would make flowers." she started.
"Koro-sensei made a total of 985 modifications to my body. Master deemed that... nearly all of them were 'unnecessary for assassination'. And they were deleted and reset, but..."
We all looked at her.
"From my studies on the situation in Class E, I personally deemed the 'power of cooperation' to be an indispensable element of assassination. And hid it in the corner of my memory bank, before it got erased."
Koro-sensei lightened up, "How splendid! In other words, Ritsu-san, you..."
The purple haired robot smiled, "Yes, with my own will, I went against the Master who created me."
We were all relived to hear that.
And so, the compatriots of Class E increased by one. From here on out, these 27 students will work on killing Koro-sensei.

There wasn't much romance here, sorry! I couldn't think of anything. Man, was this a boring chapter.
And I just realized how fast these updates are coming...
Bye!
