01x13 - Talent Time

[bunniefuu]

Don't take your eyes off each other.
Anticipate your target's moves.

If everybody does that together,
he'll have nowhere to run.

It's already the fourth month of training.

More students are showing potential.

Yuma Isogai and Hiroto Maehara

both have good reflexes.

When they work together,

their knives hit the target
more often now.

Karma Akabane.

At first glance, he seems sloppy.

But his eyes are brimming with mischief.

Amongst the girls,

Hinata Okano's gymnastics background
enables her to catch people off guard.

Meg Kataoka has reach
and dexterity as good as the boys.

They are excellent close-range attackers.

As for Mr. Koro, who is an ideal teacher,

it would be heartless
to k*ll a majestic person like him.

Don't fabricate my thoughts.

Go away, you're the target!

The others may not
have set themselves apart yet,

but as a whole,
their abilities have improved.

It hurts.

Sorry. I overreacted on the defense there.

I'm all right.

You fool. You should've been
more aware of your surroundings.

Nagisa Shiota.

Was that a misperception?

I felt an indescribable aura just now.

But I just couldn't get him.

Mr. Karasuma was flawless.

Sir, do have a drink with us after school.

Thank you for the invitation,
but I have work to do.

Even his private life is flawless.

Is there a barrier between us and him?

Or perhaps he's keeping his distance?

He takes good care of us,

but is that just a sense of duty?

Tadaomi.

Akira.

What?

Is that a new teacher?

Hey.

I'm here to assist Mr. Karasuma
and will be teaching here as of today.

My name is Akira Takaoka.

Nice to meet you, students of E Class.

EPISODE 13

What's all this?

Cakes?

Éclairs from Le Hermès.

Can we accept such expensive gifts?

Dig in!

I was in the mood to splurge,
so don't feel shy. Just enjoy.

You know a lot of branded desserts.

Actually, I love them.
I love sweet things.

He may be on the heavier side,
but he's adorable.

Will you be teaching
PE tomorrow, Mr. Takaoka?

I received orders from the government
to help lighten Mr. Karasuma's workload.

-Cake.
-Hey, aren't you Mr. Koro?

Come and enjoy!

But I'll still k*ll you one day.

You and Mr. Karasuma may be colleagues,
but you're very different from him.

You're like the neighborhood dad.

Then treat me like I'm your dad.

Since we're in the same classroom,
we're just like a family.

THE NEXT DAY

Good, everybody's here.

Starting from today,
it might become harder.

But there will be treats
for you to enjoy after class.

You make it sound so nice,
but it's really you who wants to eat.

Of course, that explains my large figure.

Are you really okay with this?

That man seems like he was forced.

And Karma has decided to skip class.

We were together in the airborne unit.

I hear he's far better
when it comes to teaching.

He's really close with his students.

It helps with the training.

Maybe I should reconsider my method.

Maybe I shouldn't have kept
my distance from them as a professional.

I should treat them like family,
just like he does.

Because it's a new training program,
I've created a new schedule.

TRAINING

You're kidding.

Ten periods?

We'll train until 9:00 p.m.

This program is necessary.

As long as you keep up with the schedule,
your abilities will improve tremendously.

-So, let's begin straight away...
-Wait a minute.

We can't accept this program.

You don't give us time to study.
Our grades will be affected.

Besides, there's no free time at all.
This is impossible.

It's not "you can't," it's "you will."

Haven't I already told you?

We're like a family and I'm your dad.

Is there anyone on Earth
who doesn't obey his or her dad?

If you don't wish to take part,
you can leave.

I'll use my authority
to bring in new students.

But I really don't want to do this.

Because as a family,
you're all important to me.

As a dad, I don't want to lose anyone.

Let's save the world together.

Okay?

Only two things are needed
to subdue your students.

Love and fear.

Are you willing to follow
in your dad's footsteps?

Well...

I...

I don't want to.

I want to attend Mr. Karasuma's classes.

Yukiko!

It looks like I haven't made myself clear.

I only want to hear you say "yes."

If you object,
we can discuss it with our fists.

Your dad is an expert at this.

-Stop it, Akira!
-What?

Are you okay?

Does your neck hurt?

-I'm all right.
-What about you, Hiroto?

I'm okay too.

I was being lenient
with them, Mr. Karasuma.

After all, they are my family.

No.

They are not your family.

They are my students.

Mr. Koro.

What have you been doing
while I was not looking?

Do you object, beast?

You should let me run my PE class.

Those punishments
were just me educating them.

I don't have the time to train them
to be good enough to k*ll you.

Of course, I need to be a little stricter.

So, what if I am a little strict?

Just because your theories
on education differ from mine,

you want to att*ck a man
who didn't do anything to you?

The students will eventually collapse.

I find it wrong,

but he has his own method of teaching.

That's why, Mr. Karasuma,

since you're also a PE teacher,

I hope you will step forward and stop him.

Step forward and stop him?

You can't stand it, can you, Mr. Karasuma?
I took your students away from you.

You were the best in our unit.

You never paid attention to me.

Now, I'm about to take away
your chance of getting a promotion.

It doesn't matter if the kids are crushed.

As long as I train the ones who are left
to become elite assassins

to k*ll that octopus,

I'll become the hero who trains heroes
and you'll be at my beck and call.

This is not a joke.

Do 300 squats? We'll die.

Mr. Karasuma.

Hey.

Mr. Karasuma is not a part of our family.
You should be punished.

You're a stupid kid who doesn't understand
that she should just rely on her dad...

That's enough.

Since you're itching
to have a fight, fight me.

Tadaomi.

I figured it was about time for you
to come and be nosy.

This is the time for me to use it.

Didn't I tell you?

This is not v*olence, but education.

I'm not interested
to face you using v*olence.

But if we do, it'll be as teachers.

Tadaomi.

Choose a favorite student
from the ones you have trained.

Let him try and fight me.

As long as he can s*ab me with his Kn*fe,

I'll admit that you have a far better
teaching style and I'll leave this place.

But we won't use these to fight with.

You'll be k*lling the opponent.

Hence, of course,

the Kn*fe should be a real one.

A real Kn*fe?

Stop it.

They've never been trained to k*ll humans
and are not mentally prepared for it.

Don't you worry.

Even if it's just a little touch,
I'll count it as a s*ab.

Also, I'm unarmed.

There's no better concession
than this, is there?

This trick worked in the army too.

First, I b*at down the terrified recruit
who's holding the Kn*fe.

Then everyone who saw that
understood how powerful I was.

Only then they submitted to me.

Come on, Tadaomi. Choose one person.

Otherwise, submit to me unconditionally.

I still can't choose.

Do we really need his merciless
and cold-blooded training

in order to create good assassins
that will save the world?

I've been at a loss since coming here.

On top of that,

I don't know if I should risk the life
of a student with a pinch of potential.

Nagisa, can you do it?

Why Nagisa?

You've been given an assassination task
to save the world.

So, I look at all of you equally
as professionals.

Therefore, you deserve
at least a basic reward

of being guaranteed
a normal life in junior high.

Hence, you don't need
to take this Kn*fe if you don't want to.

I'll try to persuade Takaoka

to guarantee you the reward you deserve.

I like the expression in his eyes.

Even my own family doesn't look me
in the eye when they talk to me.

In other words, there must be
a lot of things he's keeping from us.

I don't know why he chose me.

But...

If it's this teacher
who hands me the Kn*fe,

I have the confidence.

Besides, after what happened
to Yukiko and Hiroto, I can't forgive him.

I'm willing to try.

Is there something wrong
with your eyes, Tadaomi?

Has Tadaomi lost his mind?

Why did he pick Nagisa?

Just keep watching and you'll understand.

Do you think Nagisa
can touch him with that Kn*fe?

It's impossible to att*ck
an expert with a Kn*fe.

Nagisa.

Come on.

A public execution.

I'll dodge your advances,
then deal with you however I want.

I'll make every student tremble with fear.

Then they'll submit to my way of teaching.

Listen well.

To Takaoka, this match is to punish
someone as a warning for others.

But to you, this is an assassination.

So, there's no need
to display your strength.

Just touch him once and that's it.

That is how you will win.

This is where he realizes
how it feels to hold a real Kn*fe.

"To s*ab someone
with a real Kn*fe will k*ll him.

I can't use this thing."

I love to see the amateur's face turn pale
at the moment of realization.

I hesitated as to how
I should use a real Kn*fe.

Then, I remembered
Mr. Karasuma's suggestion.

That's right.

I don't need to fight him.

I just need to k*ll him.

I JUST NEED TO k*ll HIM.

So with a smile,

I just walked casually to the opponent,

just like walking to a classroom.

Very casually...

At this moment,
Mr. Takaoka realized for the first time

that he nearly got k*lled.

He was startled. He lost his balance.

Everyone startled when they realized
they're about toget k*lled.

Even Mr. Koro.

His center of gravity swung backwards.

So, I pulled his shirt to make him fall
and went in for the k*ll.

He might be able to block
if I came in from the front,

so, I circled behind him

and with precision...

I've got you.

I can't believe this.

He totally exceeded my expectations.

That kind of skill is impossible
to find in everyday life.

The skill of approaching
an unsuspecting enemy,

using the intention to k*ll to scare him
and to go through it with confidence.

The chill that I felt
when I was training him...

If that was a real assassination...

He doesn't have the skill
for fighting or v*olence,

but he does for assassination.

Should I encourage a talent like this?

Does it count if I used
the back of the Kn*fe?

That's enough.

The outcome is clear, Mr. Karasuma.

Seriously, are you out of your mind
letting a student use a real Kn*fe?

What's going to happen if he gets hurt?

If you noticed he was about to get hurt,
you would've blocked it immediately.

-You won.
-Amazing.

But...

Fortunately, you knew how to
handle a Kn*fe.

No, I just did
what Mr. Karasuma taught me.

Because Mr. Takaoka is very strong.

It hurts.

Why did you hit me?

Sorry, I just found it
a bit hard to believe.

But thanks. That assassination
made me feel so good.

What's with the "I've got you"
after stabbing him with a smile?

Were you at a loss this time,
Mr. Karasuma?

-Was that wrong?
-No.

Brat.

You dare att*ck
a father-figure with a Kn*fe

and celebrate after a fluke win?

Let's do it again.

I'll totally destroy your body and soul.

I'll definitely lose if we did it again.

But one thing is clear.

Our class teacher is Mr. Koro.

Our training instructor is Mr. Karasuma.

We won't have it any other way.

Instead of having you force yourself
upon us as our so-called dad,

we'd rather have
the professional Mr. Karasuma

who makes us feel warm inside.

Thank you for your sincere desire
to make us strong.

But I'm sorry.

Please leave.

-What about me then?
-You're our bitch.

I'll k*ll you.

A teacher's happiest moment

is when a student gives a clear answer

to the lessons he teaches
while feeling doubtful.

So, Mr. Karasuma.

-The teacher must give a clear response
-I won't just stand here

-to the clear answer of the student.
-and listen to you, brat!

I'm sorry that my colleague
gave everyone so much trouble.

Don't worry about
what'll happen after this.

I'll persuade my superiors
to let me continue training you.

Mr. Karasuma.

I won't let you get away with this.

-I'll talk to the superiors...
-There's no need to negotiate.

Director.

I was interested to see
how our new teacher was doing.

So, I saw the whole incident.

Mr. Takaoka, your lessons were very dull.

Fear is essential in education.

Teachers that rely on v*olence

to bring fear to their students,
are truly inferior.

I...

This is a letter of termination.

Hiring teachers for this school

is not within the rights
of the Defense Ministry.

I'm the one who has the authority.

Please don't forget this.

Damn it!

I hate it!

Mr. Takaoka got fired?

That means, Mr. Karasuma can return...

Yes!

That man's method of education
is as unwavering as ever.

What if he told you

he wanted to be an assassin?

Would you be able to train him
without any hesitation?

He himself hasn't realized
that he has the ability of an assassin.

I don't know how to answer that.

There's no teacher who doesn't hesitate.

We doubt ourselves as to whether
we've given our students the best answer.

But despite our constant doubts,

we need to be unwavering
before the students as we teach.

They shouldn't see our doubts.

That's why the teaching profession
is so cool!

Mr. Karasuma.

It was our efforts
that got you back in your old post.

Don't we deserve some kind of a reward?

That's right.
Mr. Takaoka was very good at that.

I'm not familiar with desserts,
so use this to go buy yourselves some...

Cool!

Can I join you guys for that too?

What do you think of Mr. Koro?

He didn't do much this time.

No, I wanted Mr. Karasuma
to see the value of being a teacher.

That's why I stood aside to watch.

Forget about him. Let's go, Mr. Karasuma.

Maybe I'll be forever trapped
in this assassination classroom.

Trapped in the enjoyment
of teaching people in spite of doubts.

-He's crawling after us.
-Is he that desperate to eat?

Please!
