2 Time for Plan Ed
It was another bright day in Japan, and the sun is high in the sky. Away from civilization and in the mountains was a small, old wooden school building called E-Class, which was a part of Kunugigaoka Junior High School.
Away from the building and in the woods that surrounded it was Korosensei. The yellow octopus-like educator was sitting in a foldable beach chair, drinking through a straw from a brightly colored cup, while reading a newspaper that had the destroyed moon as its cover headline.
"Even in America, the moon is all they're talking about," he said, continuing to relax in the shade of the trees surrounding him. "I'd really like something more interesting for the front story page."
However, Korosensei wasn't alone. Hiding behind a tree to his left was Sugino, watching out from behind the corner of it. "That's his daily routine," he said.
"Relaxing out back before the first bell, without a care in the world. Reading a Hawaiian newspaper, casually picked up from Hawaii on his way here at Mach 20." Sugino turned his head to look behind himself. Standing behind him were Nagisa, Eric, and Double D. "Your information was spot-on. Thanks, Nagisa."
"You're welcome," the blue-haired boy said with a smile. "Best of luck, Sugino."
Eric held up a yellow notebook with a spiral drawing on it and opened it. The page he opened to have a drawing of a baseball with a bunch of small circles on it, which were labeled as BBs, and a short description under the ball. "Okay, ready, Double D," he asked, in which his friend held up his iPhone, pointed it at Korosensei with the video recording app on, and pressed the record button.
"Ready when you are, Sugino," the hat-wearing Ed announced.
"Alright." Eric stared determinedly at their target with a grin, showing off his sharp teeth. "Assassination Attempt Number 8. It's your show now, man."
"Right." Sugino grinned confidently and held up a baseball that had about twenty Anti-Sensei BBs on it. "10 billion yens here I come!"
'My name is Eric, and I'm a part of the Eds and Eric. Just like everyone in E-Class, we are assassins. And our target is our new teacher'
And with that, Sugino pointed his left shoulder, and just like a baseball player in the leagues, threw the ball straight at Korosensei.
The ball flew at the being, while the other boys looked on in anticipation. This was going to work!
"Top of the morning, to ya'," Korosensei greeted, standing behind the four boys. Their eyes widened upon realizing that the target had gotten out of the way and move potions in the blink of an eye. "It's usually considered polite to reply."
Sugino was turning his head to the beach chair, which had a dust cloud around it and the newspaper in midair before falling, then looked towards Korosensei in shock and confusion. As he was busy glancing back and forth between the two, Nagisa, Eric, and Double D, who quickly turned off the phone, looked at the yellow creature with slightly widened eyes. "Yes, sir," Double D said quickly and nervously. "Pardon us. How do you do, sir?"
"A baseball embedded with government issued Anti-Me BBs? Creative! Points for choosing a method of delivery quitter than the pop of a standard air-rifle." Korosensei evaluated.
"Unfortunately, once airborne, the weapon gave me nothing but free time. Ample opportunity to devise an effective counteroffensive. A quick visit to the equipment room and tada!" He held up his left hand to show him wearing a baseball glove, with the ball in it, smoke coming off of it. "I had, pardon the pun, a handy solution."
"EH!" Sugino stared at him with wide, white eyes and hanging jaws. Nagisa just looked with an expression that said 'are you kidding me?'
"Somehow, I'm not surprised," Eric said, deadpanned.
"Tick-tock, children," Korosensei said with green stripes on his face, tossing the ball up and down in the glove. "Graduation will be here before you know it." He then turned and walked away towards the school, as the four boys watched him leave. "Alright then, homeroom, if you please."
Sugino sighed and lowered his head. "Yes, sir," he said, but in a depressed tone of voice, catching the attention of the other three boys. "Dammit. Well, so much for my fastball. No shock there I guess."
"It was a good throw," Nagisa told him, looking at him worriedly.
"Yeah," the fractured-eye teen said, "don't beat yourself up so much."
"And besides, you were helpful to us in a very big way," Double D, trying to cheer him up. But nothing was working. Sugino just put his hands in his pockets and walked away, slumping over in depression.
The three remaining boys looked at one another, worried about their classmate. Eric sighed and looked down at the spiral notebook in his hand. Taking out a red marker and pulling off the cap, he put an X at the bottom right corner. Another failed attempt.

{Intrumental}
{Seishun... Satsubatsuron!}
(The opening starts with the crescent moon as it gradually change to Korosensei's head. Then Ed, Double D, Eddy and Eric appeared upside down with their names shown as they fall and tried to attack Korosensei as he panicked before dust picks up around them as the title appeared.)
Welcome Back, Mr. ED!
{Kuchi ni dasu no wa jikkō suru toki}
{Sore ga kakkoī koto shitteru sa}
(The scene start with Eric waking up in bed as he gets up and gets ready for school. As he walk out of his room, Eddy and Double D were at the living room while the latter was preparing breakfast. He look around only to see that Ed's not up yet so he went to his room to wake him up, only to find that he was not here and saw his window was open.)
{TARGET, sagashite bokura wa satsubatsu}
{Omoi wa mayou mayoedo susumu}
{Migite to migiashi issho ni de sōda}
(Eric panicked and ran out of his room to tell Eddy and Double D that Ed's gone. Eddy groaned in frustration while Double D worried about him, Eric ran back in to his room and came out with his uniform on and a toothbrush in his mouth. Double D quickly pack small breakfast along with their lunches before they head out to find Ed.)
{Nan nanda iraira no hadō wa}

(Scene changes to Eric opens a fridge of their neighbor's house and found Ed sleeping in his underwear and half eaten food. Eddy laughed while Eric took Ed out of the fridge and slaps him back and forth to wake him up. Double D look at the time and finds that they are going to be late for school, Eric and Double D panicked while Eddy groaned as Ed woke up from Eric's slapping before he was pulled by Eric and ran out the door along with Eddy and Double D.)
{Yari kittenaikara yarikirenai}
{Yari kittenaikara yarikirenai}
{Genjō daha wo chīsana koe de yagate zekkyō shitaku naru}
(The Eds and Eric, with Ed now in his uniform, rushing to the train station but they missed the train. As Eric and Double D mope in depression, Eddy yelled at Ed before he had an idea as he grabbed Ed the the other two. They're now at a park as they sitting in a box with a tree that is cartoonishly pulled down like rubber below them while Ed was holding the tree down by sinking his teeth in another tree. Double D was calculating their trajectory while Eddy was getting impatient and Eric was starting to regret it. Double D conclude that they would land in the field behind the building but isn't sure about it. Eddy isn't surprised as he signals Ed to let go as they're launch in the air heading to towards school.)
{Yari kittenaikara yarikirenai (Yareba dekiru sa)}
{Yari kittenaikara yarikirenai (Kitto dekiru sa)}
(Eddy, Double D and Eric screamed while Ed laugh as they flew through the sky. Then Eric saw Korosensei flying by as he pulled out his anti-sensei knife and tries to kill him but no avail as Korosensei sped up ahead of them.)
{Dōse, to iu no wa kantandakedo}
{Ima wa agaite mitainda kimi to hajikete mitainda}
(Meanwhile in E-Class, Yada was sitting by her desk and glance at Eric's desk in front of her as class was about to start. Korosensei arrives through the window and begun roll call, Yada asked him if he seen the Eds and Eric this morning making Rio teased her about it as she blushed in embarrassment. Korosensei answers as the Eds and Eric crashed through the roof and landed in the floor next to Korosensei, surprising the students.)
{Saredo seishun wa mirai he GO!}
{Sā sā sā! Seishun satsubatsuron!}
(Ed recoiled from the floor as he pulled the other three out with him as the class aside from Korosensei look at them with white eyes and jaws dropped. Korosensei tells them to take their seats as Ed lets go of them and went to their designated desk thus begins class.)

EDventure #2 — "Time for Plan ED"
A few minutes after first period started, and the four boys were in their seats, Korosensei started his lesson as he wrote on the blackboard. "April is the cruelest month," he read out loud from a textbook of modern literature. "Breeding lilac out of the dead land..."
'The task that was given to us is to kill this thing, who for some reason wanted to teacher class of failures, by next year. Me and the Eds are on board because one, we want to live, and two, the reward was enough to convince Eddy.'
Eddy leaned towards Double D and whispered. "So, sockhead," he said, making the brainy Ed boy look at his shorter friend as he grinned in anticipation. "How was the attempt?"
Double D shook his head. "Not so go, I'm afraid," he said before looking over his left shoulder to look at Sugino, prompting Eddy to do the same. They watched their classmate staring at his hand, disheartened, as he opened and closed his hand repeatedly. "However, I'm afraid that the failed effort of fellow classmate seems to be making him take it personally."
"So what," Eddy asked. "It's not something to get all mopey for. It's not like any of us could have done any better." He looked over Double D's back at Eric with a raised eyebrow. "Besides, I thought that it was all a part of the Master Plan?" Said Eddy as he put air quotes when he said Master Plan. His one-eyed friend just shrugged and looked back in front at the board.
'The "Master Plan" was something that I and the Eds came up with together, and the rest of the class agreed with it. The idea was very simple: document every assassination attempt on our target.
First, the person would tell us their idea of attack, then we write it down in the spiral notebook I had with me, and then have them attempt their plan.
If the attempt was a success, without killing him, then we put down a check mark on that plan. However, if it wasn't, then it would have an X.
It was one big trial and error process. To see and remember what we did right, and want we did wrong. All of it leads towards coming up with one big plan to ultimately assassinate Korosensei.
But the only question was would it be enough to kill our 'unkillable' teacher?'
Eric was cut from his thoughts when Korosensei used his Mach 20 speed, passed between Nagisa and Double D, surprising those two, and speeded back to the front of the room.
Sugaya, a tall and slender male student with light grey/silver hair that pasted his ears and small dark eyes, looked at where his notebook that he was drawing on used to be in surprise, before looking up at the front. "Sugaya!" Korosensei's stern tone made him flinch. The being looked at his notebook with piercing, shining eyes, making the student even more nervous.
However, Korosensei's face returned to normal a moment later. "Not a bad likeness, I'll give you that," he said before turning over the notebook to show the picture to Sugaya and the class, but with red marking on it, "but I'm a little hurt by the jaw line."
The red markings were his own personal adjustments, such as a adding a jaw.
"You don't have a jaw?!" Eddy retorted, right before the bells were rung.
"Oh, that's lunch people," Korosensei said, before going over to the window. "If you'll excuse me, I have some important off campus business to attend to."
"Tofu from China again," asked Isogai.
"Actually, I'm catching a ballgame in the big apple," he told them, flashing out of the room. "So, Bye."
Almost everyone yelped and covered their faces when his take off caused yet another dust cloud to form.
"He sure knows how to make an exit," Yoshida said.
"I know," Terasaka said. "That thing is starting to get on my nerves."
Eric pulled out his lunch when he heard Terasaka, making him growl. Right when he was about to say something around the line of 'you're one to talk, after that grenade stunt you pulled', when Ed turned and looked at him with a grin. "Do you think he'll bring us a souvenir, guys?"
"I know what you mean, Ed," said the girl in front of the one-eyed boy, Hinano. "We're stuck here and he flies all over the world. He could least bring something back for us."
"Think about what he'd bring back," said Kataoka when she walked in front of her desk. "Are you that hard up for a mortar?"
"I'm just saying an exotic snack would be nice," Hinano responded. "It's not like he has to sneak into customs."
"You've obviously dedicated a lot of thought into this."
"So hey, what's New York's cheap export?" Isogai asked the male student that was in front of Nagisa, Maehara.
"I don't know," Maehara said. "Booze?"
"Sucks we're not drinking it," the dark-haired teen joked.
"What about something greasy from one of those food trucks," Hinano said, before a boy with short, black hair in a butch cut and thick eyebrows, Okajima, stood up with a perverted smile.
"Man, New York girls are hot," he said, wiggling his body side to side. "Especially the blondes!"
Rio leaned forward on her desk and smirked mischievously at Double D's. "So, smart-guy," she said, catching his attention and making him look at her. "Are they all as good as we imagine?"
Double D looked at her in confusing for a moment before thinking for a moment, while Eddy, Eric, and Ed covered their mouth prevent their giggles from being heard. "Well, I can't say that I have been to New York," Double D said before smiling. "But I'm sure that they must certainly are."
That caused Eddy and Ed to laugh out loud, with Eric laugh at a lower volume. Most of the other students joined in, some laughing, chuckling, or giggling.
At first, Double didn't get the whole thing, all he just said was that everything they said was... His eyes widened as a blush formed on his face. "Oh my," he said before recomposing himself and frowned at her, unappreciated. "Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, Ms. Nakamura."
They continued laughing, until the door opened and in came Karasuma, along with a few people in business suits. Almost admittedly, all commotion stopped as the student stared at him. "How about it, children," he asked with his stern face. "Any progress on killing the tentacle menace?"
Eric cleared his throat and stood up with the yellow notebook in hand. "It's not much of a plan, but we've come up with this." He presented the notebook to the man, who took it and opened. Karasuma looked through the first pages with no change in his expression, before looking at Eric.
"What is this?" asked Karasuma.
"It is The Master Plan!" Ed exclaimed with a big grin.
"It's not really a plan, but more of a documentary." Eric corrected.
"We put down every assassination plan and attempt we have on him, and then use the successes and failures of each attempt to create an ultimate plan to kill him."
Karasuma looked back down at the notebook and noticed the X that bottom right corner of the page. He turned the page and saw the same thing, as well on the next page. "What's with all the X's," he asked, in which the classroom looked discouraged and Eric stretched the back of his head.
"That's to indicate that the attempt didn't work. If it has a check mark on it, then that means it has worked, but didn't kill him. And so, with trial and error, learning from our mistakes and victories, we'll be able to come up with more plans until one of them kills him."
"So no then, huh" said Karasuma in a sighing defeat.
Eric shook his head.
A slender girl in the back with wavy, shoulder-length black hair and thick eyelashes leaned back in her chair with her hands behind her head as she said, "Yeah, this is E-Class, yo," as she looked at a down Sugino out of the corner of her eyes. "You're going to have to lower your expectations."
"Oh yeah, like you've done anything worthwhile!" Eddy exclaimed at her with a glare.
"Eddy please, calm yourself," Double D said before turning his head to Karasuma. "Mr. Karasuma, with all due respect, Korosensei is just too fast."
"Like so quick you can barely see him," said Mimura, a male student with light brown hair styled in bowl cut and light eyes who sat behind Double D.
"You said so yourself," Maehara pointed out. "He tops out at Mach 20. Had do we kill something like that?"
"I don't know," Karasuma said, "but you kids better figure it out."
"Seriously," Eddy asked.
"Seriously." Karasuma pointed at the class.
"He teaches willing. Putting himself in the line of fire by choice." This caused many to groan and moan in protest. "If you allow that creature to live as-is, then come March, he'll destroy the Earth without fail. And in case you need a reminder of how powerful he is, take a look at our moon. When that time comes, no one will be able to save humanity. In short, he's too dangerous to take lightly. That's why this classroom is the last stand between us and extinction." He handed Eric back the yellow notebook before walking out of the room with his partners.
'I can honestly say that this is the first time me and the Eds have ever been given the chance to play heroes. With outcast like us, and our history of scheming and plotting, things were undoubtedly going to get interesting. Are we up for it? Hell yeah. Can we do it? It was a tall order, considering we know nothing about Korosensei. We can't even say why he would want to blow up the Earth. But our biggest question is why he would want to be our homeroom teacher?'
00000000000000000000
The next day came, and it was lunch time.
Sugino was sitting outside looking down at his open Bento box. He hasn't eaten a thing from it. He was still depressed from the failed assassination, as it brought back memories that he wasn't too proud of. With a sigh, he closed the box and set it aside. He then just sat there, complementing the silence with his own.
"Here you go," Korosensei's voice said, as he presented the modified baseball over his shoulder. Sugino looked at it with slightly widened eyes. "I think this may come in handy."
Sugino looked up at him. "Thank you Korosensei," he said, before noticing that the teacher was eating a large fruit with a brownish green shell, and crunched whenever he bit into it. "What are you eating?"
"A coconut I bought yesterday in Hawaii," he said with what sounded like a mouth full of the fruit. But you wouldn't have been able to know that with the way his head is. "Want some?"
"You're supposed to drink it, not eat it." Sugino grabbed the ball and started tossing it up in the air, before Korosensei sat down next to him.
"Solid throw yesterday, by the way" complimented Korosensei.
"Gimme a break," the boy said doubtfully. "Says the guy who can throw a ball farther and faster on accident than I'll ever be able to on purpose."
00000000000000000000
In the building, Eric was walking back to the room after using the bathroom. "Doesn't this place have like a janitor?" He grumbled. "At least they didn't have daddy-longlegs in the toilet bowl." As he approached the door to the room, he noticed the two sitting outside and stopped. Luckily the window was open so that he was able to listen to what they were saying.
"Are you on a team," Korosensei asked, causing Sugino to stop tossing the ball and look at him with a pause. He then looked down in depression again.
"I used to be," he said.
"And... you're not any longer?" Said Korosensei but in a questioning way.
"... They.... uh... They kicked me off and I was banded from club activities" said Sugino is a depressed tone.
Eric went to the window and leaned forward on it, further interested in the conversation.
"Teams are only for D-Class and above," Sugino continued with his story. "Because I here to get our grades back on track, extra-curricular sports isn't allowed."
"That sounds extremely discriminatory," Korosensei pointed out.
"I would have gotten booted here either way. You saw yesterday, my pitch is too slow. Batters hit tons of my pitches. I've never struck anyone out. I was removed from the regular lineup and sat on the bench for most of the season. I was so depressed that I had no motivation in studying, too. That's why I got packed off here into the mountains."
Eric sighed and lowered his head, looking back on the past.
'In a way, I can relate. When I moved to the Cul-De-Sac two years ago, the first people I've met were the Eds. I was afraid that they'd discriminate me because of my appearance, but to my shock, they didn't mind. Ed even said that it made me look cool.
The same couldn't be said for the other kids at first. Some didn't mind, while others called me a freak. However, because I became friends with the Eds first, and I was unaware of their reputation, everyone just associated me with them, to the point that they were the only people willing to hang out with me. Luckily, that all changed after our Big Picture Show.'
"Sugino," Korosensei spoke up, bring back both the mentioned boy and Eric's attention back to him. "May I give you a friendly piece of advice, as your teacher?"
"Eric?" said a voice from behind him.
The voice behind him made the teen to turn around to the sources. He saw that it was Nagisa standing there with an assignment in his hands. "Hey, what's up," Eric asked.
"I was just going to turn in this work," Nagisa said, gesturing to the assignment. "What are you doing out here?"
"I was coming back from using the bathroom when I saw Korosensei talking to Sugino out there." He took a step to the side so Nagisa could see. The blue-haired walked next to Eric and the two watched Sugino and Korosensei.
"What do they have to talk about?" Nagisa's eyes widened in realization. "Holy crap!"
"What?" Eric looked at him with a slightly panicked expression. "What's wrong?"
"He's mad that he tried to kill him!" Nagisa started running down the hallway with Eric following. When the two ran out of the entrance of the school, they were left in complete and total shock and horror.
"IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT!" Nagisa and Eric screamed, as Korosensei was laying on his back, holding Sugino in the air with many of his tentacles wrapped around his body and limps, twisting and turning his arms as the boy was trying to scream, but had a tentacle in his mouth.
"Stop! Have you gone crazy!?" Eric exclaimed before he and Nagisa rushed to stop him. The fractured-eye boy pulled out his green knife and jumped at the teacher, only for him to move out of the way, making the boy fall onto the ground.
"You swore not to harm the students, Korosensei!" Nagisa exclaimed, pleading to yellow being to stop.
"Yesterday I saw Sugino's habitual pitching stance and I knew it looked familiar," Korosensei stated, as Eric stood up. An annoyed look on his face as his mouth was filled with dirt. "It's an emulation of the picture Arita, who went on to the majors."
This seemed to catch Sugino off guard. Eric spits out the dirt in his mouth and raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"That's right, these tentacles don't lie." Korosensei gently place Sugino on the ground, unraveling his body and limbs. "Your shoulders are less flexible than your idols I afraid."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Sugino asked, being a bit defensive on the subject.
"That the famous Arita fastball you're trying so hard to copy, is simply never going to be your thing." Korosensei said bluntly.
Nagisa and Sugino gasped as the latter felt that his world is coming down by the minute. Eric, however, was confused of Korosensei's objective to his. He may not know him too well but he know that there's a reason behind his words.
"That's not fair." Nagisa suddenly said, Eric notices that his hair covering his eyes and he grips his fist tightly. "You don't know, how could you? That's ridiculous, you can't just..."
"Look, don't worry about it." Sugino trying reassures him.
Eric and Korosensei stood silently as they continue to listen Nagisa rant.
"I get it, why even bother? We're just E-Class, right?" Nagisa ask before snapping at Korosensei with a fierce look in his eyes. "We're just losers and lost causes!"
Sugino look down, sadden by Nagisa's words while Eric look at them with empathy. He understood where this is coming from after all he and the Eds are outcast themselves, but even if they are, they never stop trying. He was about to cheer them up until Korosensei beat them to it.
"You misunderstand me, I base base this entirely on firsthand experience." Korosensei announced, showing them that had the headline: 'TENTACLES ATTACK: Pitcher Arita Attacked by Tentacles!' and the main picture showed Arita being lifted off the ground and tangled up in the yellow limbs that were coming out of the pitcher's mound.
"First-through-eighth-hand experience!" said Korosensei in a cheery voice.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Eric, Nagisa, and Sugino yelled with eyes turned white and jaws dropped, horrified by their teacher's actions.
"I even got his autograph!" Korosensei sobbed happily as he held up a notepad that had said 'Knock it off, tentacles!—Arita'.
"You actually asked for an autograph after you assaulted him?!" Nagisa exclaims.
"That's totally mess up!" Eric shouted.
"Unbelievable, right? He was so nice about it! I almost died!" Korosensei said as he continue to sob, Eric sweatdrop upon his teachers behavior.
"He's right, though. Some of us are born with talent and some of us not so much..." Sugino said, bringing Eric and Nagisa's attention back to him. The latter looked at him with empathy, knowing that there was nothing he could say that would cheer him up.
"Talent is relative. Arita's wrist and elbows aren't as flexible as yours." Korosensei said as he reached and grabbed Sugno's hand, before bending the hand that the wrist back and forth, and pulling his arms to bend and stretch it, shocking him with this revelation.
"Like I said, these tentacles don't lie. Given enough time and practice, you could become just as good a player, if not better. Besides, why settle for being an imitation? Next time, try assassinating me with your own style."
As he finishes lecturing him, he turned around and walked back to the school. Sugino took his eyes off of his retreating body and looked down at his hand.
"More flexible, huh? I never realized." He the then used his other hand to bend his hand by the wrist forward, in which he didn't feel as though he was straining his wrist and it felt comfortable. "How about that, my own style."
Eric smiled down at him.
"You're going to be okay?" He asked.
"Yeah." Sugino stood up pumping his fist. "I think I am."
Eric then noticed Nagisa running going after Korosensei. Wanting to know want was going to happen, he followed after him. Korosensei was in the hallway and was about to open the door when Nagisa called out to him.
"Excuse me, sir!" Korosensei turned and looked down at Nagisa as he approached him. "Did you really fly all the way to New York just to give Sugino a piece of advice," he asked.
"Why not? I'm his teacher after all." Korosensei simply stated.
"Well, it's just that normal teachers I know wouldn't go that far for a student," Nagisa explained. "Not to mention that you'll be annihilating the Earth after all of this." Eric stopped a few feet away, wanting to listen to what was going to be said.
Korosensei seemed to have just paused for a moment, as if he was thinking. "Nagisa, Eric," he spoke, acknowledging the black-haired teen's presence, prompting him to walk up and stand next to his friend. "The details aren't important, but let's just say I'm here to make good on a promise. One I don't take lightly."
This raised some questions from Eric, but felt it wasn't right to pry into his personal life.
"The Earth will be destroyed, yes," Korosensei took Nagisa's assignment, before writing on it at lightning fast speeds. "Until then, I'm your teacher. Meaning that my first priority is to you and your classmates."
He then stopped at turned the paper around to show Nagisa's paper with many underlines, words circled, and side notes with 96% on the upon left hand corner. "Facing all of you seriously is more important than the end of the world."
Nagisa reached and took the graded assignment. Looking at his teacher in amazement. "Korosensei..."
"What's with the stupid extra credit question?" Eric pointed to a question that had a tentacle with a bow.
"What! It's not stupid!" Exclaimed Korosensei, throwing a few of his tentacles up and sweating.
"It's just you bragging," Nagisa said, exasperated. "And feels like a penalty."
"Ah... yeah." Korosensei then tried to quickly change the subject with a twirl of his pen. "Anyway, I hope my students take assassinate me as seriously as I take their education." His face formed the green strips, before he took a bite out of his pen. "Not that you'll ever pull it off, of course." He just continued to eat his pen as Eric and Nagisa stared at him. They looked at each other for a moment and smiled.
'Leave it to Korosensei to do something incredible. Whether traveling around the world to boost a students confidence or just making a class interesting, he always had a way to make us admire him. Well, most of the time.'

After school was over, Sugino asked Nagisa and the Ed and Eric outside. He wanted to try out his new form of pitching. With nothing better to do, the four Americans agreed along with Nagisa.
"Hey, bater-bater-bater," Ed exclaimed, crouching low to the ground and holding up a glove, acting as the catcher in a baseball game. "Send him home! Three, two, three, one! To the finish line!" Ed looked over his shoulder at Eddy, who was standing behind him as if he was the Umpire. "Am I good or what?"
Eddy looked at him, weirded out be his friend's previous gibber. "Did you forget to eat breakfast again, Ed," he asked before looking at Sugino, who was a few meters away. "We're all set!"
Double D, who was standing on the side with Eric and Nagisa, point a speed monitor made out of random junk laying around at the Sugino. "Ready when you are," he said with a thumbs up.
Sugino nodded at him before turning towards Ed and Eddy. He threw the ball, sending it traveling faster than he's ever thrown before, and into Ed's catching mite. The impact with the leather glove was enough to make any dust on it come off in a small cloud. The sound of the impact could be heard from all of them. "Strike three!" Ed exclaimed happily. "You're out!"
"That was great!" Eddy praised him with a grin, while Ed threw the ball back at him, which Sugino caught with ease.
"The speed was at standing, Sugino," Double D said with a smile, lowing the speed monitor. "Keep this up, and you'll be able to perform at a greater rate."
"All in the wrist and elbow," Sugino said as the Eds and Eric and Nagisa gathered around him. "I think I'm going to try a curveball using my strengths. Between that and the changes I'm working on, I've already gotta haft descent arsenal." Then reached into his pocket and pulled out the modified baseball from before. "Nothing Korosensei can't see coming from a mile away, but what are you gonna to do. I'm sticking with it though, perseverance is key. In baseball and assassination."
The other boys nodded with approval. Eric then pulled out his yellow notebook and stared at it for a moment.
'With supersonic speed and tentacles that are able to multitask, Korosensei has the advantage. Killing him wouldn't be easy. But still...'
Eric was cut from his thoughts when Eddy past in front of him, making him look to see his friend running towards an open window.
The loudmouth Ed stopped when he reached in and grinned when he saw Korosensei doing paperwork. "Yo, Octopus!" He exclaimed, catching the teacher's attention. "Why don't you come out here so our boy Sugino can try and kill ya?"
The green stripes reappeared on his face as Korosensei giggled. "Nuruhuhuhuhuhu. You're a glutton for disappointment, aren't you?"
'Out of all the teachers we've had in Peach Creek, he was the only one that could really motivate us. He really sparked a fire in not just me, but Eddy, Ed, and Double D. I'd even say we were having a blast as his students!'
000000000000000000000
The next day came, and the Eds and Eric were walking towards the old school building, ready to start the day.
Well, almost everyone was.
"This sucks," Eddy wailed.
"I know what you mean," Eric grumbled, before letting out a yawn. "Out of all the days to go to school, it had to be a Saturday.
"Endure, gentlemen," Double D said with a much happier tone than the other two. "Today is another day for learning and being with other classmates in our classroom."
"Hey, you guys!" Some called out to them from behind. The Eds and Eric turned around to see Isogai, Megu, Okano, Maehara, Mimura, and Yada approaching them. Eric didn't know Yada by name, but he recognized her as the same girl who sat behind him in class. When the group stopped a few feet from them, she saw that he was looking at her, in which Yada looked away in shame.
Before Eric could ask himself what was bothering her, Ed said, "Hello!"
"We want to try out an assassination attempt, so we wanted to tell you guys sooner, before we start it during lunch," Maehara told them.
"Alright!" Eddy's grumpy attitude switched to an excited one, before rubbing his head in a greedy way. "Let's hit him hard."
"But the thing is that, we need someone to water the class tulips," Megu said. "Normally one of us would do it, but if one of you could do it, then we'd appreciate it."
The four boys stood there for a moment, before the Eds turned their heads to Eric. When he saw that they nominated him to do it, he got a little offended. "Okay, just because I like to help dad with our garden doesn't mean I'm an expert in planting."
"But your plants are so pretty," Ed said. "... And tasty" as he burped up some petals and leaves from his mouth.
"So you're the one that's been eating the pansies!?"
"Just do it alright," Eddy told him. "Just leave the Master Plan with us and we'll take care of it while you go and water the stupid plants."
Eric growled for a moment, hating he was volunteered by his friend to do something. But at least it was something he came do with no trouble. "Fine," he sighed before turning to the other students, "I'd do it. So where are the gardening tools?"
"I could quickly show you," Yada suddenly offered, surprising the fractured-eye boy.
'I thought she was scared of me, but I guess not. Wonder why she's suddenly wanting to help me?'
00000000000000000000
A few seconds later, Yada lead Eric to the storage shed. Then he proceeded by opening the door, before the two students entered. He couldn't see inside so he looked on the wall but saw no switch on the wall. He then looked up and saw no lightbulb spot on the ceiling. "What, no lights," he asked, noting that it was almost completely dark inside.
"There wasn't a light system installed here," Yada said, before lowering her head and began thinking, with an expression of guilt on her face.
"Well, it doesn't matter." Eric spotted the gardening supplies. "I'll find everything I need." He turned towards her, only to see the mature looking girl with looking down sadly. "What's wrong?" He asked, being genuinely worried.
"... Listen, I just..." Yada looked up at him. "I just wanted to say I'm very sorry."
This caught Eric off guard. "For what?"
"For asking about your eye." That caused Eric's eyes to widen for a moment, as no one has really done something like this before. "I let my curiosity get the better of me and I ended up upsetting you. That was never my intentions. And I am very sorry."
Eric scratched the back of his head. "No, you didn't upset me," he said with a sigh, confusing her.
"But you looked as though..."
"You were only curious, and gave me the option not to answer the question. That's enough for me to know that you were being genuine." Eric explained, smiling kindly at her.
"Beside it wasn't the question that had me upset. It just brought back some..." He paused.
His mind flashed back to show him an image of a man's silhouette standing over him in a doorway. A hammer in his hand.
And began slowly walking towards him but then he shook his head stopping the flashback.
"... Bad memories," he finished, as he slightly drooped his head.
"Either way, my apologies for that," Yada said, smiling sadly at him. "I hope that we can become good friends and for there to be no bad blood between us."
"So do I," Eric said, hearing the genuine care in her voice about wanting to friends with him. He may have just met her but he could tell she had a kind heart. "We should head to class. Korosensei's going to be here soon."
"Right!" The two headed for the door, before Yada suddenly stopped, confusing Eric, before she turned to him with a brighter smile. "I forgot, my name's Tōka Yada," she said with a bow. "But you can call me Yada."
Eric smiled and tried to imitate her bow, knowing it was the Japanese's way of shaking hands. "And I'm Eric."
The two flashed a smile at each other, before exiting the room.
00000000000000000000
When lunch time came around, Eric was outside at the flowerbed on the side of the building. He was currently watering the last tulip. "And that's the last of it," he said, setting the watering can down to observe his work with a proud smile. However, he then spotted a big eyesore, which was in the form of a weed at the far left end of the flowerbed. "What the. A weed? No, no, no. Can't have that."
Eric turned towards a bag of gardening tools near his legs and pulled out of it a pair of gloves. Putting them on, he then got out a prong. Walking over to the weed, he began to dig out the weed, only to stop and be shocked when he saw that the plant didn't take any damage at all.
"Hmm... tenacious one, huh?" He walked back to the bag, only to come with a pair of hedge shears. He opened the shears and tried to cut the weed at the stem multiple times, only to be further shocked when he wasn't even cutting through it. To further his surprise, the gardening tool broke in two.
Eric looked at the weed as he knew that if it wasn't wanting to go. He gritted his teeth as he said "This means war, you little sucker" as he began to aggressively pull on the weed.
00000000000000000000
Meanwhile, in the forest, the Eds and the five students were hiding amongst the trees and bushes, as they spied on Korosensei. The octopus-like teacher was sitting on a red picnic blanket, shaving ice in a penguin-shaped ice shaver.
"Targeted locked, baby," Eddy said with glee.
"According to my calculations, he would usually go into the forest to eat. And today it seems as though he's snacking on ice from the North Pole," Double D explained to the five students.
"You think he saw Santa Claus," Ed asked in his giddy way.
"Focus," Isogai whispered, "Think of the money we're gonna split." The other five nodded.
"Just remember, you wanted one of our boys to do your job," Eddy said with a glare. "So we get half."
"Whatever," Okano said. "Let's do this."
And with that, Isogai, Megu, Maehara, Mimura, Okano, and Yada ran out from their cover and headed towards Korosensei. "KOROSENSEI!" The teacher turned his attention to the students, as they smiled widely and giggled and laughed as they approached him, asking him if they could join him.
"Can we have some of that, too?" Said Isogai, in a forced happy voice.
"Ohh!" The sight of his students coming to him was enough to bring tears coming out of his eyes. "Are the children finally opening their hearts to me at last," Korosensei asked out of pure joy. "Such happy smiles..."
The six students suddenly pulled out their knives from their sheaths equipped to the back of their hips, and jumped at Korosensei, prepared to kill him, while still smiling and laughing.
"Such little savages!"
He sped away and caused a dust cloud, making the students to land and stab the ground. The cloud caused them to cough, as well as not be able to see through it, but when it cleared, they saw that their target was gone.
"Not the worst acting you've tried," Korosensei said from behind them, making them gasp, "but your smiles were a bit forced. That wasn't enough to catch me off guard." He then dropped a white blanket that had something in it. When it hit the ground, it opened up to reveal the knives they had. "Now put away these silly Anti-Me knives..." The sight of their weapons on the forest floor surprised them and made the students look down at their hands, only to be more shocked to see that they were instead holding flowers in their hands. "... And take a moment to admire, well not the roses, but these lovely specimens."
The Eds poked their heads out of the bushes when they saw the attempt fail. "Man, he's good," Eddy commented.
However, as Megu stared at the flower in her hands, she started to recognize it. "Hm?"
"NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!"
The suddenly 'No' caused the students, Eds, and teacher to look in the direction of the school. "Eric is here, guys," Eds exclaimed.
Back at the school's flower bed, Eric stared in horror at the sight of all the tulips being gone. All cut down and nowhere to be seen. "What the HELL!" He yelled, grabbing the sides of his head while sweating down his face in panic. "How-When... AH! I only looked away for a second and this is what happened!?" He turned to the weed, which was the only thing still in the flowerbed, and angrily pointed at it. "You did this, didn't you?"
Dramatic close-up of the weed.
"What's with the freaking-out, huh?" Eddy said from behind him, making Eric turn away to see friends, the six other students, and Korosensei running towards him after hearing his scream.
He started to freak out when the students looked at the flowerbed and were shocked to see they were gone. "It's not what it looks like! Honestly!" Eric quickly exclaimed, waving his hands in from of him. "I had watered the plants an-an-and there was a weed and I tried to kill it and..."
"These were from the flowerbed, weren't they!?" Megu pointed to the flower in her hand as she yelled at Korosensei. "For your information sir, we grew these 'lovely specimens' from seeds!"
Now it was Korosensei's turn to freak-out. "Nya UAA!" He yelled out loud. "No kidding?! They are?!"
Eric looked in confusion. "Wait, what?"
"Mr octopus murdered the pretty flowers to make them feel good about failing to kill him," Ed said.
"Oh."
"Why would do something so mean," Yada asked as she and Okano were brought to tears. "We've put in so much care and just finally bloomed."
"I'm so sorry!" Korosensei quickly said, wiggling his arms up and down and shuffling left and right in a panic, while sweating bullets. "Forgive me, children! Allow me to..." He speeded away, before coming back with an arm full of tulip seeds. "Get you fresh bulbs!"
This made almost everyone sweatdrop anime style.
Eric stood by his friends as they watched Korosensei get on his 'knees' and started planting the tulips into the flowerbed, while Megu and Okano drilled him on how to properly plant the seeds.
"Don't plant them at Mach 20!" yelled Okano
"No. of course not."
"Tulips need a delicate touch" said Meg like an instructor.
"Delicate, got it."
"Well, it seems as those our target is very keen on keeping his students happy," Double D said, as the Eds and Eric watched him.
"The sight of a girl crying can do that to ya," Eric said.
"Hey guys!" Nagisa's familiar voice was called out to them, making the Eds and Eric look in the direction to see the blue-haired boy pocking his head from around the corner of the building, gesturing with his arm for them to come to him.
They looked at one another and shrugged, see nothing better to do, and then walked over to Nagisa. When they got around the corner, they saw Nagisa with Kayano standing next to him. "Hey, guys!" She greeted them with a smile.
"Hello," Ed said.
"So what's this about, huh?" Eddy demanded, already a little angered by the failed assassination attempt.
"Be nice, Eddy," Double D scolded him, before smiling at the two Japanese students. "How may we be of assistance, you two?"
"Well, I had just thought of something to add more that'll help with the Master Plan." Nagisa smiled as pulled out a small notebook. "It's a list of all of Korosensei's weaknesses. I thought that we can use them and other hints in our plans to assassinate him."
"Oh! Oh! Can I see?" Ed jumped happily, hoping Nagisa would let him see it. But then Eddy shoved his hand in his face, pushing him away as he reached and grabbed the notebook from Nagisa.
"Thank you." Eddy quickly opened it and started flipping through the page with chuckling grinning. However, his grin turned to a look of confusion when he only saw things written on one page that everyone knew about. It was Korosensei's height, appearance, and the different amount of face colors he has. Purple with a cross for wrong. Orange with a circle for correct. And the green stripes for cocky.
"Not really much for weaknesses yet, huh?" Kayano even agreed.
"I'll take that, thank you." Double D took the notebook from Eddy and gave it back to Nagisa. "It's not much to go on, but it'll definitely be a great asset." He then handed Eric back the yellow journal. "But in the long run, it gives us ideas for more elusive and outside-the-box assassination plans."
'This really isn't like anything me and the Eds had dealt with in the past. Most of what we did together was scam kids and end up causing trouble at school. And in none of those time had we had to commit murder.
Then again, it's kind of why I also hung out with them. Even though we did the same thing every day, there was never a day that felt repeated.
And now we were in E-Class, a place for outcasts. The exceptions. Maybe that was why we felt at home here.'

"The Ministry of Defense appreciates your corporation," Karasuma said. He was currently in the principal's office in the main building of the school, talking to the man himself with an assistant at his side. The wide room mostly empty, with the lights off and only the windows to let in the outside light shine.
The principal was sitting at his large wooden desk, with the back of his chair facing Karasuma, as he stared out the window. "Starting tomorrow, I'll be the P.E. teacher of Class 3-E. I understand if this is unorthodox, but it's all necessary. I'll be there most to observe, and to provide tactical and mental advice. My teaching certificate is still valid, so that's something."
With even turning to face him, the principal spoke. "You have my blessings. Just see to it that their education and safety come first."
"... Thank you for your time, sir," Karasuma said, before turning around and he and his assistant exited the room.
"He's quite the reasonable board chairman, isn't he?" Commented the assistant, as the two of them walked down the hallway.
"Hrm. He's receiving a large sum from the government for his trouble," Karasuma explained. "However, it's certainly convenient. There's a godlike monster here who can destroy the planet. Furthermore, even the militaries of the world can't kill him, and who wants to teach." He stopped for a moment and stare out of one of the many windows on his left. "It's best that we of the government, the board chairman here, and the students of E-Class are the only ones to know this secret."
"Crap." The voice caught Karasuma's attention. Turning his head to the right, he spotted two students walking past him. "If my scores fall any lower than this," said the chubbier student, "I just might end up going to E-Class."
"Serious?" Said the other student, one that was taller and wore glasses. "If you dropped into that class, it's over. Have you seen that isolated building? There's no cafeteria, no food, bathrooms look like something out of a horror movie, the kids are psychos, and the teachers fear for their lives. Once you're there, you're basically done. Colleges wouldn't touch your transcript with a 10 foot pole."
"I know, dude. Whatever keeps me out of E-Class, I'll do it!"
"Time tested strategy," Karasuma said, watching the two students walk away. "Single out a group that's undesirable and the rest will fall in line to avoid being one of them. Social engineering at its finest. Very effective. Make our job a little more easier than it might be otherwise. Say what you will, E-Class is ideal more our purposes. Remove. Isolated. Full of teenage ticking time bombs."
However, he also thought about how unbearable it must for the students in the small building to live under the school system.
00000000000000000000
Karasuma was now walking up the mountain towards the old school building. When he approached the entrance to it, Kayano ran out of the building while her arms were full of long bamboo polls. She stopped and jogged in place when she saw him coming. "Hey, Mr. Karasuma! What are you doing here," he asked with a smile.
"New job assignment," he responded, stopping in front of her. "From tomorrow onward, I'll be joining the faculty as your P.E. teacher."
"Oh, is that so?" She said.
"It should be fun, yes" said Karasuma, while questioning if it would be or not.
"Then I guess we'll be calling you Professor Karasuma from now on!" Said Kayano as she gave him a cheery smile.
The man then looked around with curiosity. "So where is your target now," he asked, when Eddy suddenly jumped out the building's entrance doorway with Ed running behind him with an armful of Anti-Sensei knives.
"I'll just thank two of those." Eddy slipped two bamboo out of Kayano's grip, before running towards the right side of the old building. "Come, Ed! I don't want to miss the party!"
"I love parties!" Ed exclaimed, as he ran in his trademark style of running.
Karasuma watched the two Eds run off in confusion. "What's with them?"
"Oh, Korosensei ended up ruining the tulips, so he's apologizing by reducing his speed and letting us all try and take whacks at him," Kayano responded.
The two arrived at a tall tree to see Korosensei tied to a rope around his midsection, hanging from the tree, and was swinging back and forth while a couple of students were under him, trying to shoot or stab him with makeshift spears that were made from their knives and the bamboo.
"Isn't he totally the coolest teacher ever or what?" Kayano exclaimed, as Karasuma just stared with bits of sweat on his face.
"A few more minutes of this and all is forgiven, right," Korosensei asked with his green stripes showing, continuing to swing at a highly fast rate. "I must say that you're a very lucky class. Not many teachers would put themselves in this position."
"Yeah! And this is what your decision will lead to, Octo-head!" Eddy exclaimed after he finished making two spears and grabbed them. With a spear in both hands, he grinned and charged. "Prepare to meet your doom!" He then started swinging both weapons up at him.
Further back from the group of students, Eric was shooting at Korosensei with an air rifle, Ed was smiling at the scene, and Double D and Nagisa were just staring at it all with unsure expressions. Kayano approached them with beady white eyes. "So... ah... any luck?"
"Uh... no." Nagisa responded.
"This is all fun and games to him," Double D said with a sigh.
"This is not what the Ministry of Defense has in mind," said Karasuma with a twitching eyebrow.
"But hold on a second." Nagisa pulled out his notebook, as Eric joined them after running out of ammo. "There's bound to be a corresponding weakness."
"Nuruhuhuhuhuhu." Korosensei laughed in delight. "Shoot and stab all you want class. It's truly futile, isn't it, ladies and gentlemen? This difference in speed is hardly even a handicap."
Eddy stopped swinging at him out of exhaustion. Growling in frustration and anger, he turned to look back at where his friends were at. "Ed! Get him down!" He commanded with a point of a finger.
"I'll get him, Eddy!" Ed responded with a wave. He then spotted a rock lying next to him and picked it up.
"Have you learned nothing from our first meeting, Eddy?" Korosensei asked, as Ed brought his arm back. "Only in your wildest dreams would you possibly...."
He didn't finish the question when the strong Ed boy threw the rock at the branch Korosensei was hanging from, breaking through the wood like a bullet would.
This shocked Korosensei and everyone else except the Eds and Eric. The teacher fell to the ground and laid on his side, as the students stared at him, trying to fully understand how the Ed was able to perform such a thing.
However, reality sets in, as Korosensei started to get nervous.
He was on the ground, in the middle of junior high kids at want to kill him.
All tied up...
"KILL HIM!"
"NYUAAAA!" Korosensei screamed in panic and fear, as his students started to chase after him with murderous intent, making him try and roll away from the knives and BB's coming at him.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! This wasn't part of the deal! Easy! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap..." as Korosensei stowed and turned trying to escape the kids grasp but also brought out a weakness for them to use.
"Nice throw," Eric said, patting Ed on the back. "And it looks like you've brought out a weakness for Korosensei."
"You're right." Nagisa quickly wrote something down in the notebook. "That's why I'm writing it down now."
"Wait a... Hold on!" Korosensei exclaimed, as the students and Eddy continued to try and kill him. He attempted to break free of the ropes, but panicked when he felt his tentacles were stuck in the ropes. "My tentacle are all tangled up in the rope!"
"Stop it! Stop it, all of you! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!" Korosensei was able to break free and jumped out of the crowd of kids. Flying high into the air, he landed on the roof of the old building.
"Get back here, asshole!" Eddy demanded with a shaking fist.
"HA!" Korosensei turned to face them as he taunted them. "What the matter child? Can't jump this high? Oh wait, of course not." He then started laughing high and mighty at them.
"Ah man! We were so close!" Growled Kimura, a male student with brownish green hair and black eyes.
"Not to worry, guys!" Ed said, before grabbing Eric by his neck, choking him a bit. The Ed boy then grabbed his legs also and began to stretch. Making some of the students cringe at the painful site.
"Ed?" Double D asked warily.
"Fly, little Eric, Fly" Ed held up a straightened out Eric, who was now as stiff as a board and straight as a pencil.
"Ed," Eric said, starting to become very worried about what his friend was about to do, "what're you doing?"
The taller Ed then posed as if he was going to throw a spear, using his thumb to aim at Korosensei, who stopped laughing when he saw what Ed was doing.
Eric's eyes widened. "Oh my god, you're going to do it, aren't you!"
"Talley Ho!" Ed exclaimed, and threw Eric at Korosensei, making the fractured-eye teen scream on his travel to the teacher.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed as he neared the yellow octopus. Suddenly, Korosensei was on the ground again, holding Eric in his arms as he continued to scream. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH..." He opened his red eye and saw that he wasn't flying anymore. "... aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh..." Coming to a slow stop, Eric opened his other eye and saw that his being carried by Korosensei and was in on damage anymore.
"Hah... hah... hah..." Korosensei panted as he set Eric on his feet, before sighing in relief. "Guess who's earned themselves extra homework." he then said, upsetting the students around him.
"NO FAIR!" they yelled.
Korosensei's weakness #3: No tolerance
He then flew away before any of them could make a jump on him.
"There he goes again," Mimura commented, as Ed's eyes started to fill up with tears.
"He's too smart for us, Eddy!" He cried, before grabbing Eric by the legs and used him as a tissue. Blowing his nose on him, Ed covered the poor teen in his snout. "We will never catch him!"
Ed dropped Eric on the ground with a loud thud, with Eric trembling in disgust. Eddy couldn't help but chuckle at his friend's misfortune, while the black-haired teen stood back up on shaky legs. "Now, now, Ed. This isn't the time to be depressed," Double D said as he approached them, making the other's look at him. "In fact, I say that it's best to celebrate this moment!"
"Celebrate? Celebrate what!?" Eddy demanded. "We couldn't even touch him!"
"But we almost did, Eddy." Double D pointed out. "While I'm sure even if Ed hadn't thrown that rock and broke the branch, Korosensei's momentum would have been too much for the branch to handle, and thus making him fall. And when he did, with his tentacles tangled up, he was barely able to escape all of your attacks. In fact, I'd say that this is the closest we've gotten to accomplish our goal!"
"He's right!" Megu said to them with enthusiasm and excitement. "We're getting closer to a solution. I can feel it!"
"If things keep going like this," Isogai said with a grin, "then we'll definitely have a chance!" This brought out a cheer from the other students, including Eddy and Ed.
Eric stood a little bit away for them in the background, wiping off the last of the snot off himself. He then looked up and saw how happy they were, with some cheering and others planning the next attempt.
This is without a doubt the strangest adventure we've ever had, and in the strangest class ever.
"So, boys!" Eddy slides out of nowhere and placed his right arm around Nagisa's left shoulder, and then his left arm around Eric's right shoulder, before bringing the two close to him. "I'd say that our chances are looking good!" He exclaimed with a grin.
"Oh no doubt," said Nagisa with a smile, feeling a little uncomfortable with how close to Eddy his face was. "We have to try and kill him, or we'll be having an awkward graduation."
Suddenly grabbed all three of them in a hug and twirled around. Unintentionally crushing the boys in with his glee. "Oh boy oh boy, I forget what we're doing!"
'It's funny, really. The system of this school has given up on us. And yet, here we were. Laughing and having a fun time. Normally the kids here would've just given up but I guess that's Korosensei for ya. Top speed at Mach 20 yet is delicate to plant a garden. He's a strange teacher but one that's given us something grand. Me and the Ed's have had many adventures but this was one we would all seem to love the most.'
After Ed dropped them, Eddy got mad and started chasing after Ed, who ran away laughing. Eric sat on the ground and stared at them.
'And I have no doubt that this school would have had us separated. Ed would have been given no mercy and be sent straight here. But here, instead of the gloom and doom that we saw when we first came to E-Class, I can say that there's so much positivity here. And we Eds and Eric are more full of purpose than even.
I can only hope that the future brings more of this.'
(Later that night./Ministry of Defense/)
Meanwhile at the Ministry of Defense building, two government officials stood before a student in a Kunugigaoka junior high uniform as they were fill him in on the situation they're having with.
"As you can see, our situation is a desperate one. Needless to say, this information is shared in the strictest confidence." The female official explains before telling the said student the consequences. "Break the non-disclosure clause and you'll be subject to a memory wipe."
"Yikes." The Student said as he was looking at the document about Korosensei and other necessary details about the octopus.
"Your fellow classmates are already debriefed. They've done their best, but so far to no effect. Once your suspension is ended, you'll be reported to E-Class and access the situation. From there, you are authorized to proceed as you see fit."
"Whatever." The student shrugs it off as he drop the document on the coach with a Anti-Sensei knife in his other hand and checks it out. "You expect me to take him down with this? Seriously?"
"Correct. That knife, while harmless to humans, is design specifically with your target in mind."
"Huh. Human. Non-human. It doesn't matter to me."
Then he stabs the documents next to him with the knife and lifts it up along with the said document. He drops it as the paper flipped over revealing the picture of Korosensei been stab by the knife. Showing that he's looking forward for the moment to come.
"Either way, I'm good. Should be a lot of fun. I've always wanted to kill me a teacher." He said as his face is revealed.
He has pale skin, short red hair, and pale sharp eyes that appear as either mercury or goldish in color. Behind his usual innocent-looking, smiling face hides a torturous and rather sadistic personality.

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}
[Instrumentals] The opening fades into a scenery of Tokyo, Japan.
[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to the Eds and Eric walking on a sidewalk. Eddy in front of Ed, who was in front of Double D, with Eric behind him. They didn't seek to each, as they went to school.
[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The next scene cuts to them in class with the other students as Korosensei teaches the class. The camera was positioned in the back of the room, so all you saw was their back and Korosensei teaching them.
[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] Korosensei's attention was caught by the bell and his speed out and back in with an arm full of sweets and candies, making the students sweat-drop anime style at him.
[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The next scene shows the Eds and Eric gathered around Double D's decks, with the smart Ed boy discussing a new plan from assassination, pointing to a piece of paper in his hand as he talked.
[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] Eddy points to paper and asks a question. Double D answers him with a smile.
[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] With Korosensei out of the room, Double D was at the front of the class, stating the next plan for another assassination, as the class watched and listen.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] He then asked for a volunteer, to which Rio raised her hand.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Double D shows a description of the plan on the blackboard. The plan was for Rio to ask Korosensei to say for a moment after class to help her with a problem, in which Eddy would try and stab him in the back.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back]. With the class empty, Korosensei was standing in front of Rio's dress as she explained what she was having trouble with, as Eddy slowly crept up behind him.
[Yeah we tease him a lot, welcome back, welcome back] When Eddy jumped at him, Korosensei moved to the side, causing Eddy to crash into Rio and topple the deck.
[Cause we got him on the spot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei lectured the two on their failed assassination attempt, to which the two students yelled angrily at him.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The camera cuts to a hand holding a yellow notebook with the description of the assassination, and a number to indicate what attempt it was. It was crossed out by a red marker.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] It is shown to be Eric who was holding the notebook, with the Eds around him. They sighed in disappointment, as the sun sets.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] They look at each other and shrugged with a small in an 'Oh well' manner. Eric then flipped over to the next page and put down the next number for the next assassination plan.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The Eds and Eric are then seen walking back home, before everything fades to black.
