I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"Next time you ask this question to the octopus, remember?"

"remember……"

After that, the notebook that Xiao Mo often held became a hot topic among classmates.

"I heard that Xiao Mo shot down Teacher Karasujian in just one recess..."

"Really? What's written there..."

"I don't know, I'm very curious!"

Chapter 9 Time for Discussion

During the break, Nagisa, who was chatting with Xiao Mo, was stopped by three male classmates.

"...Hey, Xiao Nagisa. Let's talk a little bit to advance our assassination plan."

"But -" Shiota Nagisa looked at Xiao Mo, hesitant.

"It's okay, Nagisa-san."

"Oh well."

Being called outside the school building by three people, Shiota Nagisa remembered that the three of them were the most unsociable group among the students. The leader was Terasaka Ryoma, who was strong and looked like the leader of the gangsters.

He sat on the steps outside the school building and asked: "The color of that octopus's face will change according to its mood, right? Didn't I tell you to observe its key points? Do you have any features?"

Shiota Nagisa took out the notepad he carried with him, "Well, you should also remember that green stripes appear on his face when he mocks others, right?"

"……perhaps."

"When students answer questions incorrectly, they will turn dark purple and have crosses on their faces; if they answer questions correctly, they will turn vermilion. The most interesting thing is, after lunch break..."

"You don't need to continue talking to me about these things." It seemed that Nagisa Shiota was talking more and more enthusiastically, but he didn't mention it.

Wanting to focus on himself, Terasaka's patience was exhausted, and he stood up from the steps with his pockets in his hands.

He took out the dagger and handed it to Nagisa Shioda, "I have a plan. When it shows its most relaxed expression, you can stab it with the knife."

"Huh? Me? But..."

"Stop pretending to be a good kid here with me, we are Class E." Terasaka leaned close to Nagisa's face, trying to give Nagisa a sense of oppression, "The rubbish class that failed to keep up with the teaching progress of the key center is commonly known as [Class E of End]. They have to go to a segregated school building in the mountains and forests every day and are treated like garbage in every aspect."

He squeezed Nagisa hard into his arms, "For those of us who are behind the wheel, the God-given opportunity to get 10 billion yen, including the rest of our lives after entering society, is only this one time. !”

Terasaka took a grenade out of his pocket, dangled it in front of Nagisa, and finally fell into his hand.

"No matter what means are used..."

The three of them laughed and left. It seemed that they were sure to win, and they did not forget to tell Nagisa Shioda, "Don't miss it~"

Holding this modified grenade alone, Nagisa Shioda recalled the day when he was decided to be assigned to Class E and the instant change in the attitude of the students around him towards him.

[Wow, he is finished now. 】

[I don’t want to be regarded as a waste on the same level as Class E——]

"..." Shiota Nagisa was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Nagisa-san."

A voice calling him came from not far away. Nagisa Shioda quickly hid his hand, looked up, and smiled on his face: "Ah, it's Xiao Mo."

"Class is about to start, aren't you going back?"

"Come here!"

Nagisa Shioda quickened his pace and came to Xiao Mo, preparing to enter the classroom with her.

But after walking a few steps, Xiao Mo suddenly sniffed his nose and looked at himself.

"Gunpowder should be useless to Teacher Ruanmian, right? And it will also hurt you."

"Teacher Ruanmian?"

"That's our class teacher." Xiao Mo reached out her hand. Although Nagisa Shioda tried her best to retreat and cover up, she still took out the grenade from her pocket.

"What are you going to use this for?"

"Of course it is used for assassination..."

"Is this what those three people asked you to do?"

"Um."

Although Xiao Mo has never shown any assassination attempts or tendencies towards Teacher Octopus, she has speculated on the assassination plan Shioda Nagisa wants to carry out from an extremely professional perspective.

That is, when the teacher falls into a relaxed state, he feints and starts a suicide attack.

Because if it is a grenade, whether it is thrown or detonated by pulling out the safety bolt, this time is too slow for the soft teacher who can move at Mach 20.

"This should be a remote control detonation handle? Those three people have the controller... Nagisa-san actually put his own safety in the hands of others. Why?"

Even if the anti-personnel weapon is replaced by a special plastic bomb used against the teacher, the explosives inside are genuine. If it were detonated at zero distance in front of the chest...

May die.

"Even if Nagisa-san goes for that 10 billion, won't he have nothing if he dies?"

Nagisa Shiota just stared at the grenade in Xiaomo's hand in silence. Although the two of them were sitting in front of and behind each other in the classroom, they had not known each other for long.

He didn't expect Xiao Mo to understand him, but asked instead: "Your brother, why did you be sent to class E?"

Xiao Mo's thirst for knowledge and attitude towards learning are undoubtedly the most serious in class E. Although he doesn't understand many common sense questions, he learns very quickly.

It's okay for such a person to go to any class other than Class E. Why did he come here?

In Class E of the End, where all the students have become killers, there is no tendency to assassinate the target, which is strange in itself.

Xiaomo's answer surprised Shioda Nagisa.

"Because my brother said that the environment is more important than grades. You have to be a [person] who can think independently, not an [exam machine] that only values ​​grades."

"Compared to a class like Class A, a more humane circle is a place where he can trust me...Although Xiao Mo can't quite understand what my brother said, I feel that it does make sense."

Shioda Nagisa thought about the other students who saw his Class E assignment letter. The feelings he had cultivated in the past day and night broke down in an instant, and they turned against each other faster than he could flip through a book.

It seems that except for origin, situation and achievements, everything else is cold and cruel.

I thought that coming to Class E was the worst outcome in my life, but...

"The so-called bottomless abyss is a journey of thousands of miles."

The two looked back and found that Cheng Rang had arrived behind them at some point.

"Brother~!"

"You have to call me Teacher Cheng in school." Cheng Rang rubbed Xiao Mo's head with a smile and looked at Shioda Nagisa.

"Is the current situation as bad as it can get? But a friend of mine once told me...if you have nothing from the beginning, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Because everything after that will be harvest. The so-called End's E class' statement is just what other people think.

point of view, what matters is what you think. Are you in it, do you really think that this kind of class is hopeless? Is it too early to draw a conclusion now? "

Cheng Rang pointed at himself with a smile, "And now that you are all targeting that octopus, no one has come to trouble me. Is it possible that the bargaining chip I proposed is not attractive enough? Or does it just look like it? It’s too weak, it seems like it can be killed easily, so it’s prioritized later?”

Shiota Nagisa's eyes changed slightly.

If you have nothing from the beginning, everything will be a gain after that?

"Teacher Cheng, you really know how to preach..."

"I don't dare to take it seriously, hahahaha~"

"In that case, don't skip gym class last week."

"Eh?" Cheng Rang's expression froze until he was smiling, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"We have been waiting in the playground for ten minutes, but we haven't seen you, teacher. In the end, Teacher Karasuma took over your lesson. So what were you doing at that time?"

Cheng Rang's eyes immediately drifted to the sky and he stammered: "Really? Did I forget to teach you a lesson... Ah, maybe it was my first time as a teacher, so I was a little shy and didn't show up."

"I can't tell you are shy at all." Shiota Nagisa half-opened his eyes and sounded helpless.

"Anyway, I was away for something at that time! You will know the reason later. Well, class is about to start, so go back to the classroom quickly!" Teacher Cheng even began to use the teacher's privileges to urge the two of them to go back to the classroom.

And before leaving, he took the grenade in Xiao Mo's hand and gave it back to Nagisa.

"elder brother...?"

Cheng Rang blinked at Xiao Mo, "This will be an important lesson for you and Xiaozhu. Let him decide the final choice first. If you are worried about him, why don't you just sit behind him? ?"

The school bell rang and he watched the two of them walk into the school building. Cheng Rang stood on the weed-strewn playground, looked around at the dilapidated buildings, and nodded.

"It's time to renovate this place."

He picked up an ordinary mobile phone and dialed——

"Hey, Phil-chan~"

"It feels so numb that I'm going to vomit. If you continue to call me that, don't ever ask me to help you again!"

Gracefield took a sip with disgust on his face, held up the phone receiver and propped it up on the desk in front of him, "The construction team is on their way, and they can't go any faster no matter how hard they rush."

"So how long will it take?"

"Just wait for me and that's it. Is there anything else you can do?"

"Nothing, I just want to hear my lovely voice again."

"..."

Snapped! The other party hung up the phone forcefully. Listening to the busy tone, Cheng Rang put away the phone angrily and scratched his cheek.

"When is the next physical education class...?"

Chapter 10 Time for Teaching

"Ask students to write a short song based on the topic written by the teacher. Please use tentacles to end the last sentence~"

Its waving tentacles held the note and handed it out to every student.

"Students who have finished writing, please submit their works to the teacher. The teacher's inspection focuses on whether the grammar is correct and whether the beauty of tentacles is shown in the short song. Students who have finished can go home early!"

After getting the questions, the students all stared at the white paper with distressed expressions on their faces.

"Is the word tentacle the key point? How to write it?"

"I'm not a tentacle control."

"Who knows..."

At this time, a girl with short green hair raised her hand, "Teacher, I have a question——"

"...Oh, please tell me, Kayano-san."

Kaede Kayano, who has a hairstyle similar to animal lop ears and a lively and cheerful personality, is sitting at the table next to Nagisa Shioda.

"It may be a little late now, but what is your name, teacher? It will be very troublesome to distinguish it from other teachers."

"A name? Teacher, I really don't have any names worth mentioning. In that case, let's leave it to the classmates. Now let's focus on the subject."

"Okay~" Kayano smiled, waved the paper he still had no clue about, and sat down.

Afterwards, the only sounds left in the classroom were the rustling sounds of students writing and the occasional sound of dropping pens spinning in their hands to the ground.

Gradually, the round head of Mr. Octopus, who was leaning on the podium with his arms folded, turned pale pink.

Appeared...

Shioda Nagisa looked up.

After lunch, when everyone starts to doze off, the teacher's face will occasionally show a faint pink color.

It was half a beat too slow to respond to Kayano-san's question. This should be the most relaxing time of the day.

[They must be allowed to identify with themselves...]

【You must give yourself a voice! 】

Under Xiao Mo's secret gaze, Shiota Nagisa hid the dagger behind the paper card and slowly stood up from his seat holding the "white scroll".

He was the first to get up, which attracted the attention of the surrounding students, and they all discovered the murderous intention hidden behind Nagisa's blank answer sheet.
