01x02 - Baseball Time

[bunniefuu]

America is talking about the moon too.

I was hoping to read
a more interesting headline.

Every day, he'll relax
behind the school before homeroom.

Sipping the drink he brought from Hawaii,

he'll read an English newspaper.

Just as you reported.

Thank you, Nagisa.

Good luck, Tomohito!

Ten billion yen is mine!

We're assassins.

Our assassination target is our teacher.

Good morning, everyone.

Please say your greetings in high spirits.

Good morning, Mr. Koro.

I see that you've stuffed the anti-teacher
BB pellets into this baseball.

That's a brilliant idea.

It's definitely quieter than the air g*ns.

But I got so bored
of waiting for the ball to hit.

I know touching the ball directly
will destroy my cells.

Hence,

I took a pair of glove
from the equipment room.

I really hope you can k*ll me
before your graduation.

Let's go, homeroom is about to start.

All right.

Damn it.

At this rate,
my ball isn't fast enough to k*ll him.

Tomohito.

EPISODE 2

Well...

Our teacher is a monster
who vaporized 70% of the moon.

And he's going to destroy
the Earth in March next year.

As to how he became our teacher,
I have no idea.

The Ministry of Defense gave us a mission.

That's to k*ll this teacher
before next March.

The reward is ten billion yen.

Hey, Nagisa.

I heard Tomohito's assassination attempt
this morning failed, is that true?

After that, he felt down in the dumps.

There's no need
to get bummed out about it.

I mean nobody has succeeded before.

A teacher who can't be k*lled.

We gave him a nickname, Mr. Koro.

Sosuke!

Shame on you.

My features are much more refined.

What do you mean?

OLD CAMPUS

Everyone,

I have some business to attend to.
So, that's all for today's class.

-Business?
-Yes.

I'm going to New York to watch a game.

He left.

Goodness, what is wrong with him?

Our teacher should at least
bring back souvenirs for us sometimes.

Who would want souvenirs
from their assassination target?

Food product should be fine, right?

That way it wouldn't last.

You're realistic when it comes
to weird stuff like this.

What could he bring back from New York?

Alcohol, I guess.

Well, we can't drink.

In the end, snacks are the best.

A blonde beauty! How can one resist?

I know, right?

Blonde beauties.

Mr. Karasuma.

How is it?

Is there a way to k*ll the guy?

A way?

By the way, we're Class E.

Destroying him
would be impossible, Mr. Karasuma.

We can't match his speed.

How could we k*ll someone
who flies at Mach 20?

Indeed.

Not even the m*llitary could do it.

Exactly!

But, you're the only ones
who have the chance to k*ll him.

I don't know the reasons,

but he's very serious
in teaching all of you.

If we just let him be,

he'll destroy the Earth next March.

Just look at the crescent-shaped moon.

When the time comes,
it'll be the end of mankind.

It's too dangerous to let him live.

This classroom is the only place
where he can be k*lled.

Students of Class E, the class of failures

have the opportunity to be heroes
and save the Earth.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

Why must our teacher destroy the Earth?

And why did he become
our homeroom teacher?

OLD CAMPUS

That time when I went out for fun...

Tomohito, I helped you clean it.

Mr. Koro.

By the way, what are you eating?

The coconut I bought from Hawaii.

Do you want a bite?

You're supposed to drink the juice inside.

Your throw yesterday was really good.

It's easy for you to say.

Come to think of it.

Clearly, my ball has no hope
of hitting you at Mach 20.

Are you from the Baseball Club?

-I used to be in it.
-Used to?

We're not allowed to join any clubs

because we're the isolated
Class E students.

We're in Class E
because of our bad grades.

So, we're supposed to focus on studying.

That's some serious discrimination.

But I'm okay with it.

Didn't you see it?

The ball I threw was slow.

It's so slow I couldn't even pitch
a single strike and got benched.

After that, I lost the will to study.

Now, I ended up in the End Class.

Tomohito.

Let me give you a suggestion.

I have to turn this in.

Mr. Koro?

What are they talking about?

Could it be that he's angry at Tomohito
for the assassination attempt yesterday?

The situation is more serious
than I thought.

What are you doing, Mr. Koro?

Didn't you sign an agreement
not to harm us?

Tomohito.

Let me ask you about our unique stance
of pitching the ball yesterday.

You were copying a major league
pitcher, Arita, weren't you?

But my tentacles won't be wrong.

Compared to Arita,

your shoulder muscles
are completely lacking.

What do you mean?

Your body is unable
to pitch the ball at his speed.

No matter how you imitate him,
you'll never achieve it.

-How...
-How...

How can you be so sure?

Nagisa?

Is it because we're the failures?

Is it because we're the End Class?

Are you saying it's pointless
for us to try?

Well,

I said he couldn't achieve it

because I checked the man yesterday.

-I'm speechless.
-I'm speechless.

I even got his autograph.

You even asked
for his autograph after all that.

How was he not furious?

I didn't know how to react.

I see.

I guess I don't have his talent.

On the other hand,

your elbows and wrists are more flexible
compared to Arita.

If you train consistently,
you'll be stronger than him.

I checked it with my own tentacles.
It can't be wrong.

There's more than one type of talent.

Find an assassination method
that suits your talent.

My elbows and wrists
are more flexible than his.

Is this my talent?

Mr. Koro.

Did you go to New York
just to give Tomohito a suggestion?

Of course, I'm his teacher after all.

Most teachers won't even go that far.

Not to mention, you're about
to destroy the Earth.

Nagisa.

I became your teacher

to honor my promise to someone.

Although I want to destroy the Earth,

I'm still your teacher prior to that.

Treating all of you sincerely
is more important than ending the world.

Mr. Koro.

Can you not add weird questions
at the back of my notebook?

I know you're trying
to show off your marking speed.

It's a bonus.
I thought you would be happy.

This is more like a penalty.

Hence,

please enjoy being a student
and an assassin.

You definitely can't k*ll me though.

Tomohito, you're amazing!

The ball looked like it disappeared.

I'm training to pitch a curveball
that uses my wrist and elbow.

Even my slow fastball
will look faster if I pair them together.

I'm sure the ball is so slow that
it'll probably put him to sleep though.

But

I'll continue to work hard for baseball
and our assassination mission.

Our teacher has extremely fast
and all-powerful tentacles.

Honestly, I don't think I can k*ll him.

But...

Mr. Koro, I want to k*ll you.
Could you come over?

What a naughty kid.

But somehow, he makes us feel motivated.

Mr. Koro's assassination classroom
is quite interesting.

We found him.

I heard his snack for today
is shaved ice from the North Pole.

That octopus went to the North Pole
like it's a supermarket.

Let's go.

We'll split the ten billion yen evenly.

Mr. Koro!

Share some with us too.

-My students are opening up to me.
-Mr. Koro.

Everyone's smiling brightly

with a murderous look on their faces.

What's happening?

However,

your smiles were a bit fake.

It wasn't enough for me
to put down my guard.

Let's put down all these dangerous
anti-teacher weapons.

Appreciate these flowers
and learn how to smile beautifully.

Hey, Mr. Koro!

Aren't these the flowers
that our class planted?

Is that so?

Mr. Koro, you've gone too far.

We went to great lengths
for these flowers to bloom.

Sorry, I'll get some new bulbs right now!

I'm back.

-You can't plant them at supersonic speed!
-Understood!

Plant each of them with care!

-Understood!
-Gently...

I heard he's planning
to destroy the Earth.

But, now he's planting tulips.

Mr. Koro, you're amazing.

That monster is acting
like a goody two-shoes again.

Nagisa, what are you writing?

I'm noting down Mr. Koro's weaknesses.

I might be able to find hints
for k*lling him in the future.

Are you sure this will be useful?

What are you saying?

It could come in handy in the future.

"His maximum height is three kilometers.

His special skill is supersonic speed."

What's this?

I guess it isn't much use.

That's true for now.

We're assassins.

Kunugigaoka Junior High's Class 3-E
is the assassination classroom.

Also, the other classes are elites

of this famous prep school.

I assumed the Ministry of Defense
has already notified you.

I'll be the PE teacher
and assistant homeroom teacher

for Class E starting from tomorrow.

Of course, I'll be keeping an eye on him.

But, I'll provide the students

with mental and technical support.

I have my teacher's certificate.

Please don't worry.

Do as you wish.

But their education and safety come first.

I'll take my leave now.

He's such a considerate principal.

That's because the government
compensated him handsomely.

But it's convenient for us.

A creature capable of destroying the Earth
that not even the m*llitary can k*ll.

Yet, he's a teacher here.

Thank goodness those who know
about this secret

are only the government,
the principal of this school

and the students of Class E.

My goodness!

If my grades get worse,
I'll be transferred to Class E.

Seriously?

Generally, you'll be doomed
if you end up there.

It's a secluded school area
with no food and dirty toilets.

You'll be treated like trash
by everyone and the teachers.

You can't come back
if you don't get extremely good results.

Everyone calls it the End Class.

I'd rather die than be kicked
to that place.

I know, right?

We must work hard to not be like them.

Breaking news!

Teach us, Kunudon!

Hello, everyone. I'm Kunudon.

I'm the mascot of this school.

In this segment, I'll teach all of you
about Kunugigaoka Junior High.

The students here are the top 15%
of the country's average results ranking.

It's a school filled with fun
and cheerful people.

Really? That's amazing!

Everyone gets along well
and are treated equally.

Treated equally!

Nice!

I see.

If a small group of students
is discriminated harshly against,

it will pressure them
but also give them a sense of superiority.

Thus, they'll work hard.

The system is reasonable enough.

For us, the secluded school area
is perfect for our top-secret mission.

For those isolated students,
they must've felt horrible.

Hello, Mr. Karasuma.

Hello.

I'll be a teacher here,
assisting you all starting from tomorrow.

-I see.
-I look forward to it.

I'll have to call you
my teacher from now on.

Right, where's the guy?

He destroyed the class's flower bed.

As a sign of apology,

he handicapped himself
for an assassination competition.

This is my way of making it up.

It's a rare opportunity
to have my movement restricted.

Nagisa, how's everything?

He's not even taking us seriously.

Do you call this an assassination?

Hang on.

From Mr. Koro's weak point...

I don't think it's working, Class E.

Even with this handicap,
I'm still faster than all of you.

You must be dreaming
if you think you can k*ll me...

k*ll him now!

Damn it!

This is dangerous!

Your notebook might be useful after all.

-I'll continue making notes then.
-Wait a minute!

My tentacles are tangled up in the ropes!

What should I do now?

Forgive me!

Damn, he ran away.

You won't be able to catch me here.

You lack the capability to do so!

You bunch of fools!

We were so close.

I'm doubling tomorrow's homework.

How petty!

MR. KORO'S WEAKNESS, NUMBER 3,
HE'S NARROW-MINDED

-He's gone!
-But, we almost did it.

At this rate, we will be able to k*ll him.

Nice! If we manage to k*ll him,
how will we spend the ten billion yen?

A bunch of junior high students are
talking excitedly about an assassination.

This is such a weird place.

Nagisa, can we k*ll him?

Yes, we can.

Otherwise, we would never
be able to face him.

It's so strange.

The high-spirited students in this school

are from Class E,
who have their homeroom teacher

as their assassination target.

MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

That's our current situation.

The Earth is in danger,
so you must keep it a secret.

If word gets out,

you'll need to undergo a surgery
to wipe your memory.

How scary.

Everyone in Class E
has received the same briefing.

They have begun executing their missions.

Once your suspension is over,
you'll return to Class E.

Thus,

we want you to take part
in the assassination too.

Hey.

Will this rubber Kn*fe really work?

Yes.

It's harmless to humans,
but it's effective against him.

I see.

It doesn't matter if he isn't human.

I've always wanted

TOP-SECRET INFORMATION

to k*ll a teacher.

Tomohito, your arm has flexor biceps
and extensor triceps.

You can bend your arms
through the contraction of these muscles.

But, my joints are totally different.

Next episode, Karma Time.
