[After the fireworks show of the summer festival]

Koro-sensei was grinning happily counting all the money he had earned from selling all those foods from the stalls he took advantage to earn cash.

"My, I earned quite a bit." An enthusiastic Koro-sensei said. "Even if I deduct for essentials, I should have no problem buying snacks for September." He rejoiced tilting his big head up after putting the money away. "Were you able to enjoy yourself as well?" The teacher ask a young teen from his class. "We will begin studies again tomorrow." He reminded. "For today, you should spread your wings and..."

He stops speaking when the young teen opened his mouth informing him of his so called situation.

The yellow octopus stared at his student in bewilderment and shock."Eh? You're leaving Class E?"

The opening ceremony of the second semester.

With a change of place from the summer vacation, we head to a new stage, both studies and assassination.

All of the students were gathered at the gymnasium for another opening ceremony for the second term.

While E Class stood on their spot just enjoying themselves, remembering their summer vacation or sharing what they had done for the rest of their summer days.

"It's been awhile, Class E." The familiar voice of Seo Tomoya spoke to them, he was of course with his group the famous Big Five, although Asano wasn't present with them. Maybe Karma shipped him to space— I mean— "Well I'm sure the second semester will be tough for you, too."

"Try not be discouraged." Koyama grinned with that horrible laugh of his.

The E Class was lost, not knowing what they meant.

"Big Five huh...?" A confused Nakamura said.

"Our vacation just ended, but I have a bad feeling." Maehara voiced in concern. Guts churning from the feels of something unfortunate.

"And what's with this stupid grinning faces?" The blondle added.

"They looked so frustrated during the closing ceremony from the first semester, too." Mimura recalled, confuse of the big five's behavior.

"Let's shove some Wasabi up their asses." Karma spoke out of nowhere holding the two tubes of the spicy paste.

Hanako chimed in. "And force them to eat chilli peppers and powder. That'll sure hurt their throats not only from the amount of screamings but the burning sensation as well." She holds a pouch of what they are thinking the said spicies, lips pulling in a big grin. The headband she now wears wasn't really helping, it adds to the mischievous aura she is letting out.

"Karma's rubbing off of you." Maehara commented.

"Tie them up to a chair. Let them drink a bunch of hot sauces and run onions on their eyes, too." Nakamura added. Her, Hanako, and Karma all huddled together, snickering to themselves.

"And Nakamura had joined the duo. That's gonna be a disaster." Sugino sweatdropped watching his classmates.

Nagisa looked his head, sighing that Hanako was being influenced too much from Karma. "Hanako, no. Just no."

Once the ceremony began the whole room was soon fulled with applause from the students who were congratulating the base ball team for placing second place.

Sugino, of course applauded his friend for a good well done but then  he realized something was missing from their class making him turn his head right to left searching for that missing person.

"Now then, I have one last announcement for everyone before this ceremony ends." Araki announced, silencing the clapping teens. "Starting today, Class 3-A will be adding a new member to their ranks."

"A new member?" Kayano parroted in wonder.

"Until yesterday, he was in Class E."

The E Class students were taken aback.

What?

Araki continued. "However, with his diligent efforts he has received excellent grades and has earned the permission to return to the main building."

From the backstage Asano handed a folded paper to the said student. "Now it's your turn..." The student took the paper and began walking out to the stage as the student council president watch them. "go tell them."

"Well then let us hear his words of joy!" The boy cheered introducing the the new Class 3-A transfery. "Takebayashi kotarou-kun!"

"Eh?"

The E class gaped at the sight of their own classmate, Takebayashi walking to the podium, eyes wide staring the bespectacled boy's form.

"Huh?"

'Why...' Nagisa thought stupefied. 'Takebayashi-kun?!'

What is going on?

Flipping the note open, he began to read the words written in it. "I have spent over 3 months with class E. Simply put, that environment..." He stared up front. "...was hell."

There was hurt and betrayal from the eyes of Class E.

Yet Takebayashi didn't falter. "My classmates had no drive, even the teachers had given up on us. I realized  the price I paid for my slacking."

E Class can't believe this was coming all from Takebayashi, a fellow peer, who was in the same assassination classroom as them, right there in front of them standing with pride and confidence talking about the filth and substandard of E Class in their faces.

From his office, Principal Asano watched the speech the boy was giving through his computer.

"I want to go back to the main school building." He told them. "For that, I studied as if my life depended on it. I even changed my attitude towards my everyday life. From the bottom of my heart, I'm overjoyed that I'm able to return. I will work hard Sontag I will never fall into Class E again." Then be bowed finishing his speech. "That's all."

From the sidelines, Asano smiled, a smile he use to fool everyone of his good heartened persona, clapping his hands, welcoming Takebayashi's return. "Welcome back, Takebayashi-kun."

Soon the main campus students began applauding for his success of being able to pull himself out of the E Class' trench. Welcoming him back to the campus of exceptionals, saying how well he has done, how great he is, all kinds of compliments. This was the thing that Takebayashi wanted, approval.

He was over joyed he had escaped that so called Class of misfits. 'I did it.'

Yet, his now former classmates, of course, weren't as happy for his sudden transfer.

'Takebayashi-kun seemed completely different person from who he was yesterday.'

At the 3-E classroom....

"What is his problem?!" Screamed the flirtatious boy of the class. "I can't believe he's giving up the ten million just go back there?!" He added, slamming his fist on the board.

The sliverette female quirked a brow up. "Is that seriously he's only reason?" She muttered.

From beside her, Karma gave out a short chuckle. "Well, he must be generous to let this slip from his grasp." He didn't spare a glance, keeping his gaze at his companion's small cold hand that he's playing. A small habit he had somehow develop, though the girl didn't mind.

"He said this place was a living hell!" Kimura fumed, anger towards their former classmate.

"They might have made him say that," The short brunette tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but even so she tried to be optimistic there's still a chance that's what Takebayashi really felt about this class. "But I still can't believe he did it...!"

"Takebayashi's grade's did skyrocket..." Kataoka realized, pointing the boy's academic grades, it those make sense"...But that's because Koro-sensei as his teacher! I think it's really disrespectful of him..." She frowend. "...To forget that."

"I'm not going to just sit and take what he said at the ceremony! Let's go give piece of our minds after school!" Maehara declared the others agreeing without any hesitation.

They want answers.

Meanwhile...

Karasuma Tadaomi had called in Takebayashi to have a word with him for his transfer to the main building.

"I respect the choose you've made." The P.E. educator didn't sugar coat anything and just went straight to the point. "I also trust you, and I'll watch you through the memory erasure procedures and such. However, even you are in a new class, be sure that you never disclose anything about the assassination." He instructed his student for the last time.

"I know that already." Respond the boy. "Do I look the dimwitted?" Being done of this talk, Takebayashi stood up from the chair excusing himself from Karasuma to leave the room.

Sharp eyes watch his figure leave through the door.

'Takebayashi Kotarou.'

Karasuma recalled the times of his assassination training.

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

During the assassination training, he did give it his all but he had the worst results.

Then the memory showed from the times of his studies.

That goes for his studies as well.

He remembers seeing the said boy with stack of book on his desk, studying so much, trying feed all those knowledge to his brain, but even with the amount of learning there was still something missing that doesn't prevent him to fall.

"He simply does not know the trick to studying." Said Koro-sensei while grading the aforementioned male's works. "He was attending 5-6 cram schools, but that actually resulted in a negative outcome." He pointed out a big flaw of Takebayashi. "I feel like he's the type that can improve his grades if he can master the right amount of study. In order for Takebayashi-kun to get by with a minimal amount of studying," He gazed at the stack on books on his table. "I will first study the maximum amount and then I will find and ideal method of studying that will accommodate him." Grinned excitedly craking his knuckles? "My hands are shaking with excitement. I will quickly nurture him within 3 months."

"Mind telling how're you cracking your tentacles?!" Karasuma frowned.

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

Pulling himself out of the memory, Karasuma stood near the window. 'So this is the outcome of nurturing him. How Ironic.'

Koro-sensei flew Mach speed to the principal's office without being noticed.

"I do this all the time." Informed the principal, taking pride. "I approach a student giving their all, and then inquire about leaving Class E. As with every other year, Takebayashi-kun accepted it with a simple yes."

All Koro-sensei can do is listen and reflect.

The sharp eyes of Principal Asano was staring at the octopus. "Did you watch today's assembly?" inquiry the man. "The entire student body understood what I was trying to teach them. Your reward is proportional to your efforts. The weeks can become the strong. Koro-sensei..." He smiled, it was really unpleasant to Koro-sensei to be there and be the target of the principal's dark words. "is there something wrong with what I'm teaching them?"

The creature slouched not making direct eye contact with the terrifying humna up front. "No. There isn't." Koro-sensei replied after a few seconds of silence.

Later on once the school day was over, the E Class had decided not go straight home yet, wanting to at least speak to Takebayashi about the decision he made.

"Oi, Takebayashi!" Called Maehara.

The whole class all stood there staring at him, wanting an explanation.

"Care to explain?" Isogai inquired. "Why didn't you discuss this with us?"

Okuda then spoke up. "There's a reason for this, right?" The sweet girl meekly asked her ex-classmate. "You helped out so much during our summer vacation trip!" She tried to remind him his good aid to the class not wanting the boy to leave them. "And didn't we all have fun together during the regular school year too?!"

Mimura can't really agree for that last part. "Looks like he was mostly maids."

"The 10 billion bounty." Brought up by Karma. "Depending on how we kill him, it seems like they're going to train even more." He said trying to get under his skin. "I guess you don't need your share, Takebayashi. How selfless of you." Half-mocked by the red head.

The aforementioned bespectacled male stood at his spot wordlessly. Knowing well his reason why he wanted to get out of the so called hell. "One millions at most." Spoke the boy after a brief silence.

They gasped bemusedly.

"I'd never be able to get the ten million on my own. Even if I manage to help the rest of you to kill him, with my crappy skills, I'd only get one million most." He explained the backlash. "You see, mybfamilt has run a hospital for years. Both my brothers are medicine graduates from the university of Tokyo. One million is the amount my family can earn by working. They're capable of anything. As the only one who's not, I'm given the cold shoulder, even if I do get my hands on that ten million, my family will never accept me." Takebayashi shared his tale of trouble and problems that he gets from his family.

A problem that many children experience in a strict or toxic  household. Neglect.

The Takebayashis were neglecting their third son for he failed to meet their expectations.

" ''Good for you.'' ''You're lucky were still feeding your mouth even though you're a failure." " He quoted the words his parents' words. "That's all they'd say..."

Poor boy was being emotionally abused.

"I was finally able to tell my parents about my gardes for the first time. I told them I received top scores, so I'm able to get bout of Class E." He remembered his own father's words, half-ass congratulating him, seeing how his son was able to pull himself out of that wrenched class. Takebayashi's mint green eyes glared down at the floor while sweat rolled down his face. "Do you know how hard I studied just to hear those few words?"

From behind the azured eyed boy, Kanzaki knows what her classmate meant, having to live in a same strict household. She knows what Takebayashi was going through.

"To me, even compared to the end of this world of ten million yen, being accepted by my family is far more important." He continued, turning his from the rest of the E Class. "I know I'm betraying you and being ungrateful. I wish you all the best with your assassination." Then walked away without looking back.

Though Nagisa was still adamant to stop him. "Wait, Takebayashi—"

He was about to sprint after him but the black haired beaut grasped his arm.

The boy turned to her. "Kanzaki-san...?"

Kanzaki smiled saddly at him. "Don't, Nagisa-kun. Family ties are like chains, dragging you down and never coming loose. That's why... there's no use in pulling them."

He stared at her for a moment processing her words before turning back to look at Takebayashi's leaving figure.

Meanwhile Hanako took a step forward to stand beside Kanzaki, placing a hand on her shoulder to try and ease the girl down. "I understand what you're saying and sincerely apologized you have go through this pain." Kanzaki look at the hand that was placed on her shoulder before glancing at the sliver haired teen. The young teen can't tell if what she says is sincere. Her expression and voice lacks any emotions to show she was genuinely sympathting her. But she guess she was just trying to comfort her, so she smiled through the pain.

Then mentally said. 'Do you... really understand my pain, Miyazaki-chan...?'

Hanako knows she was trying to hide the scars and pain, she can see through her masked smile. The averaged height woman stared straight at her brown hues while she lightly squeezed her shoulder. As if she knew what Kanzaki thought.

'I do understand.'

Some of us are "cursed".

Takebayashi-kun's curse is slowly killing him.

They don't teach us, how to break curses in school.

From above, standing on a steel pole, stood Koro-sensei. Who had been watching the confrontation between his class and his former student.

In his gloomy, spacious office, Asano Gakuhou stood in front of the window staring at the vase land of the front of his school, having his thoughts to himself, an E Class related topic.

'A student  in Class E with the highest grades the must have opened their eyes to reality. The reality that thy are nothing more than second-rate studenta at this school. My way of education....' He has this really, menacing, creepy smile on his face, averting his gaze to the orange-pink sky. 'is rational in every respect.'

•

•

•

And so the next day of school, it wasn't the same.

Everyone stared at the desk that was used to be occupied by Takebayashi, and now it was all empty and cold, nothing but an extra seat for the class now.

"Takebayashi really didn't come." Said by Nagisa in disbelief. After the confrontation yesterday the boy still held a little bit of hope that said bespectacled male would still stay in the class of misfits. That he will realize he belongs in E class and will leave the main campus to back at the mountain with them and assassinate Koro-sensei, to receive the 10 billion yen bounty. Yet he had disappointed himself when he didn't show up as he hoped.

Kataoka retorted, just lowkey accepted the decision the boy made. "What's the problem? It's what he decided for himself."

"You mean that?" Kurahashi said not needing to mention what she meant.

And it made Kataoka to shut her mouth, remembering what Takebayashi had told them.

"To me, even compared to the end of this world or ten million yen, being accepted by my family is far more important."

It's just saddening really, how families such as Takebayashi's treat their children like garbage or puppets. Only being seen as an object and not as a human. "If we let this bother us, we'll be playing right into the principal's hands." The female class representative said to her fellow peers.

Meanwhile:

At the main campus, in a classroom sat a shell shock Takebayashi. His hand had stopped mid-air staring at the board ignoring the teacher's rant of the lesson going on.

One classmate of his had taken notice of their new classmate's state. "Hey, look at Takebayashi." He whispered to the person next to him. "He's in so much shock his hands aren't moving."

"No suprise. The pace here is much faster than Class E."

"Shoot, he's already erasing the blackboard!"

"We need to keep our focus."

"We're in this together as classmates, but we can't let our concern for each other bring us down to the level of Class E."

Ha, oh how ironic.

Their assumptions was the complete opposite. He wasn't shock because of the pace of the lesson.

'This is Class A?' Takebayashi tried to take it all in. Everything was so much different in Class A. Of course. 'Class E already covered this in the first semester.'

If this assholes really think that Class 3-E was behind, then, madam and sir? Here you dropped this:

'And he's doing this so inefficiently too. Trigonometric fictions are so much easier to undercut you focus on the man points.' —Hope all. Mathematics is my weakest subject— cough — moving on..... 'He speaks too fast all the while writing and reading the blackboard. He doesn't care about the students at all.' More like he's just reading everything from the text book and not really going into explaining more. Just go to YouTube you'll be able to understand the lesson better there. 'This is just a class to knock out anyone who can't keep up.' That'll be me.

This class is ridikulus.

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

And here's a flashback:

"Takebayashi-kun, that anime you recommended me," Said Koro-sensei, " 'The Reason My sister Became a Hiroshima Fan Must Be Because of the Influence of Her Boyfriend', I took a look at it and it was really good!" Informed the teacher one day, as he was helping the boy study.

What kind of title is that???

"I thought the cutesy stiff was kind of cliche, but..."

"True. I never imagined they'd turn professional baseball players into cute girls. And so!" He showed his phone, a song of the second opening of the anime. "I've decided to teach you the formula you've been having trouble with by making it into a parody song of the second season opening!"

And Takebayashi was intrigued. "The second season, Huh? You sure know your stuff, Koro-sensei."

"Nyuruhuhuhuhu. How can I be a responsible teacher without sharing my students' interests?" He played the song, letting the sound flood the room. "Now, let's sing and learn together!" Koro-sensei declared. "I've included the most important part, right when your favourite character Ono appears!"

Takebayashi was moved by his teachers heart warming action. I think.

Koro-sensei cleared his throat ready to begin to sing.

"LEt'S MemOZizE thE lOvE TRiaNglE tHeORem!"

The bespectacled boy flinched from the horrid singing of this alien octopus.

Koro-sensei's  Weakness #26:

Tone deaf

"SiNe, cOSinE!"

Send help, Takebayashi has fallen.

Press F for his ears.

He was an unbelievable bad singer, so it was still hard to learn the formula.

"Your turn, Takebayashi-kun!!!"

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

Hours of intense learning, class was dismissed. And everyone was preparing to leave.

"Hey, you guys want to get a drink somewhere after school?" Takebayashi offered to his new classmates.

The two turned towards him. "O-oh. Don't worry about it, Takebayashi."

"We've got cram school after this."

And so they declined the offer. I myself don't know if they were lying or not.

"You as well, right?"

All he did was give a nod.

"Catch you later."

He stood with a constipated look. 'My classmates in Class A treat people who are smart aren't in Class E like ordinary human beings.' Thought by Takebayashi. 'However, they're desperate to keep up with class like how I used to be.'

The effort they put to stay in a toxic environment such as this is somehow impressive yet disappointing because if that was me, I would've left along time ago.

AND SET THIS DUMB A BLAZE—!!! (please tell me you get it)

'Only a handful of students have time to relax.' He took a glance at the four members of the Big Five, who has their on conversation going. 'It's totally different with Class E.'

Uh— no shit Sherlock.

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

Here's another flashback:

A memory of Takebayashi and Terasaka visiting the former's favorite maid cafe.

"Seems like me you've grown fond of my favorite maid cafe, Terasaka." Said him to his bi-colored hair classmate whislt two maid where aiding the boy, one was massaging him while the other was finding him omurice.

The boy immediately shouted in defense: "Huh? Like hell! I was just curious! I only came because YOU wanted to! Just because you've got more time to relax doesn't mean you should waste it on places like this!"

Wow. How nice of him. It's okay Terasaka we won't judge you.

—Literally says the person who judges people on the first meet—

"Master, would you like to take a picture with me?" Asked a maid whilst holding a Polaroid camera.

Terasaka embarrassingly turned to her with a flustered face. "Ah, I might as well..."

Giving the camera to another maid, the lady from before placed herself behind Terasaka, hands on his shoulder meanwhile the latter smile holding a peace sign.

"I'm taking the picture!"

Suddenly out of the blue, the infamous Koro-sensei came out from the corner dressed up in a mind costume with cat ears saying: "Moe!"

'He's in delight.' Thought Takebayashi, looking at his classmate who was really enjoying himself.

At least we all know how Koro-sensei knew Terasaka's secret visit.

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

The afternoon sun light wash over Takebayashi's figure as he journey his way out to the school premises lost in his own thoughts. 'A teacher who really tries to get to know his students, Koro-sensei. It was the same with Terasaka. He was trying to find out more about me too.'

The sound of rustling was heard making the boy take an abrupt stop from the sudden noise. From his peripheral vision he can see that there are obviously people watching. 'Something's out there.' He has a good guess on who they are.

"Looks like he's doing okay." Kataoka lowly spoke having two twigs of sticks with leaves stuck at the side of her head.

And everyone has the same matching 'hats', and that also includes Koro-sensei himself.

"Doesn't he seem friendlier than usual." Spoke Maehara from behind.

"Ha! That's why I told you to forget about that four-eyes." Terasaka scoffed in slight annoyance.

'That's a camouflage technique we learned from Karasuma-sensei.' Takebayashi recalled, just standing there in the middle the path. 'but the shrubs here are different from the ones at Class E, so it just makes them look weird.'

E Class: built different 💪💪💪

'Good grief.'

Slightly titling his head to the side to look at his old class. 'Why are they still looking out for me.' He question them in his mind, wondering why they are still worried about him, a now main campus student. 'I was never a big help with the assassinations in Class E. It was no different from being a bad student in the main building. I have nothing to offer them. Besides, I'm a Class A student now, so what's the point of saying on me? What did I hope to learn by coming back to the main building anyway?'

✨Character growth✨

"How's it going, Takebayashi-kun?" And here comes the very "famous" student council president, Asano Gakushuu. "Firing in with your new class?" The president asked his fellow peer.

"Well, more or less..." He answered hesitately.

"Sorry for the short notice, but the principal wants to see you." Asano informed. "He needs the help of the hero who rose up out of adversity."

Am I the only one who wants to snap this guy's neck???

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

After escorting him to his father's office, the two teens stood up front the principal of the school, both waiting for what he wanted needed.

"Hello. I'm glad both of you are here." Greeted the senior Asano. "Well, come closer."

And soon the darkness has consumed the morning day sky.

And Takebayashi was still taking in what the principal demanded him to do.

"A speech?"

"That's right." Principal Asano confirmed. "I'd like you to make a speech in front of the entire student body again. I'm sure your family will be pleased to hear about this."

'My family?'

"Asano-kun, do you have the copy of the speech?" The head of the establishment asked his son.

"Yes." He shortly answered, stepping towards the bespectacled boy, handing him the speech. And upon scanning the paper, Takebayashi was stunned of what he was reading.

'I'm supposed to read this in front of everyone?'

It read:

"I have seen how rotten my Class E classmates are with my very own eyes.

Lustful students.

Violent students.

Gluttonous students.

Perverted students.

Socially-unskilled students.

None of them are to come back to the main building, but as a fellow Kunugigaoka student, I want to help them clean up their act.

And so, I have a favor to ask all of you, I need everyone's consent to establish the Class E Management Committee which I will supervise to help in their re-education."

The principal smiled wickedly. "If you read this at the assembly, I'll save a seat for you on the student council called the 'Management Committee Head'."

"If you manage to refrain all your former classmates, the feat will help you rise through the ranks in here— and maybe even in high school." The mini Asano added. "You Mag even get a recommendation for a top-notch university."

Takebayashi gaze down, his mind all jumbled up in confusion. Quite hesitant.

And by the expression the boy made, Gakuhou knew very well that he didn't have the guts to meet his demands, so he needs to give a boy a little push towards that path. "You haven't fully left the rest if the Class E behind yet." He walked behind him. "Thus is the way for you to become someone new. By ruling over your former friends you'll learn to act like the powerful."

'The powerful.' He repeated in his mind. 'The powerful, like the rest of my family. The powerful like them.'

By his encouraging, manipulative words, Takebayashi made his decision.

"I'll do it."

⌐╦╦═─ • • • • •

Walking alone at the empty streets pondering about the decision he made earlier that he knew will destroy the E Class but Takebayashi was blinded by the words the principal had planned in his mind and the thoughts of having the powerful, being finally appreciated and on top everyone.

He then look up from his down gaze and stop walking, seeing a very familiar yellow alien.

"I'll report you to the police, Koro-sensei." He threatened to the creature hiding in the corner watching him.

Koro-sensei jumped out from his place, panic surfacing his round face. "How can you see me lurking in the dark?!" He questioned as if being a big, yellow, octopus is hard to miss.

Koro-sensei's Weaknesses #27:

Bad at hiding

"What do you want from me? I have nothing to do with the life of an assassin anymore—" Takebayashi tried to tell the teacher off yet didn't listen and took his glasses and quickly gave a 'makeover'.

"This is a Goth-rok makeover. I've killed your trademark otaku look." He said holding a mirror at his face to show his look.

"This isn't me." Takebayashi shut down. Not liking the makeover he was given.

"Takebayashi-kun, whether you kill me or not is up to you." Koro-sensei began, holding a comb to fix him back to his usual style. "But you know what, 'killing'is something you do everyday. Just to get your family to accept you, you're currently killing your own freedom." He pointed, placing back the glasses. "Though, knowing you," He placed a finger a the center of his forehead as the teacher spoke. "You will definitely be able to kill you which had chained yourself one day." Koro-sensei nudged him back and Takebayashi felt as if a knife had peirce his head, his while being. "You are the only person who has that power." Koro-sensei continued. "Take your time and waif for the right opportunity to make Th kill. I'll be here in the shadows should you need any advice." He walked away, leaving the boy to think.

And so next day came.

Another assembly was made and everyone one was at the gymnasium again, Takebayashi taking the stage.

"Huh?" Said Hazama in confusion.

"Takebayashi's making a speech again?" Said by Nakamura.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Voice Chiba in worry making Sugino in front of him hum in confusion. "I'm getting a negative vibe from him. It's as if he's planning to destroy something important to him." He briefly explained to his fellow friend.

And so he began, with Asano walking him from the sidelines and Koro-sensei just behind the said boy.

"I would like to talk to you about something I wish to do."

From his dark, gloomy office, he smirked waiting for the student to drop the big boom on E Class. 'Go on. I this is your first step toward becoming one of the powerful. Takebayashi, Kotaro.'

"Class E, where I used to be was a gathering of weak people. They weren't good students academically, so everyone else from the main building looked down on them. Even so, that Class E..."

He paused.

Just for some suspense.

Soon that sorrowful looks quickly change into an enthusiastic expression. "—is the most comfortable place to me after a maid cafe."

Huh?

Eh?

What?

👁👄👁

Everyone gasped at the given twist.

"I've been lying to myself. I wanted to be powerful. I wanted people to accept me. Still, even though I was just dead weight in Class E and someone who ultimately betrayed them, my classmates kept on coming to check on me." He admitted, feeling warmth and appreciation. He felt accepted by them. "My teacher, to try teaching someone as slow-witted as myself, used every possible method. My family and other students here never accepted me, but Class E treated me as one of their own."

The Class E smiled brightly for the boy's kind words.

"All of you striving to rise to that too and be accepted by society, you're right to have that goal and I respect you for it. However, I wanted to be an underdog just for a little longer. I don't mind being an underdog. In fact, I'm going to enjoy going back to a life of waiting just for the right moment to attack the powerful." Takebayashi announced, swiping the paper that he was supposed to read to reveal under it.

Asano was very pissed of what he had done. 'Has he gone crazy?!' He screamed in his mind as he walks toward the boy. "Take back what you said and apologize, Takebayashi." The student council president demanded sternly. "Or else..."

The young teen held a glass plaque commemoration to Asano's view, who gasped and stopped realizing what he was holding.

"I stole this from the principal's office." He spoke loud and proud. "It seems to be a plaque awarded to the best principal." As he spoke he took a weapon from his blazer that was made of wood and metal with a pointed curve at the end.  "Our principal truly I'd a powerful man. Everything he does isms driven by rationality." Takebayashi raised him him and strike the glass plaque shattering it into a man tiny shards. This was his way back to Class E, to his friends, to his family. "Asano said to me that another student did something like this in the past. So logically, if I do the due thing..." He turned back ready to leave with a proud smile. "I'll be sent to Class E as well."

His way back to the Assassination Classroom.

The main campus students were all confused right now, they didn't understand why Takebayashi has done this.

"Hold it!" Asano called making the boy up front stop. "You're beyond saving. We even gave you a chance to become one of the powerful."

"The powerful?" He asked. "All they seem to be are people who are scared stiff." And a direct insult towards the strawberry blond. Oh he was angry that it had Karma cackling. "Looking at you and everyone else."

He didn't dare to look back.

He doesn't want to look back.

Takebayashi regret nothing.

The day after the sudden plot twist of Takebayashi:

The whole Class E students were all sitted outside at the field dresses in their gym uniform with Karasuma at the front.

"This second semester, we're going to be introducing new methods of assassination. One of which are explosives. " He warned the young teens holding four books, one was every thick.

"E-explosives?"

"Their destructive power is sure to be a great addition to your assassinations, but you are prohibited from using them is a dangerous manner like Terasaka." Karasuma remind them. "Therefore, I need one of you to master the safe of usage of explosives. To use explosives, you must first receive permissionsl from me and that student. So, who's up for the responsibility?"

It seems that none of them was up for it.

"Whoa, those are so thick!"

"Hell no, I'm not going to study for a national qualification on that."

But one was willing and was ready to take the responsibility.

"This won't help me one bit with my studies, but who knows, if it'll come in handy someday." He took the books from Karasuma.

"Can you memorize all this, Takebayashi-kun?"

"Yes." He answered surely.

They were happy to have him back.

"As long as I make it into a paradox song if the second season opening, I'll be done no time." A weird method but okay, I won't judge.

In the end everything turned out great.
