Second transfer student will arrive on June 15th.

This is our expected favorite.

Understood.

EPISODE 11

All right, everyone. Time for today's class meeting.

Everyone, please take your seats.

He looks really big.

Mr. Koro.

Kindly explain why your head is 33% larger than usual.

Because of the high humidity, I soaked up my moisture.

That's why I swelled up.

You're just like uncooked rice.

Okay.

Did Tadaomi tell you that there's a new transfer student coming?

Is it another assassin?

I got into trouble last time for underestimating Ritsu.

I won't be careless this time.

Whatever it is,

it's good that you've got another comrade.

By the way, Ritsu, did you hear anything?

You're a transfer student assassin too.

Yes, I heard a little.

Initially, he and I were to be transferred here together.

I would deal with long-range attacks.

He'd deal with hand-to-hand combat.

Both of us were to dispose of Mr. Koro together.

Then, due to two reasons, that order was canceled.

What were the reasons?

First, it was taking longer than expected to adjust him.

The second reason

was that I didn't have the capacity to support him.

Because between the two of us,

I was much weaker.

Ritsu shot off Mr. Koro's finger, yet she says this about herself?

What kind of creature is the new transfer student?

What costume is that?

Is he the transfer student?

Sorry for giving you a fright.

I'm not the transfer student.

I'm his guardian.

Seeing that I'm covered in white, you can call me Shiro.

Appearing suddenly in white and performing magic tricks,

of course we'd be spooked.

Yes.

Other than Mr. Koro, anyone would be scared...

Mr. Koro, you coward!

He's so scared he even used his liquefying stunt.

Well, Ritsu shouldn't have told us all those spooky stories.

How do you do, Shiro?

Where's the transfer student?

Nice to meet you, Mr. Koro.

His nature and character is quite different from most people.

That's why I came personally to introduce him.

This man is quite enigmatic.

-What's the matter? -Nothing.

They all seem like good kids.

In that case, that boy should fit in very quickly.

Allow me to introduce him.

Hey, Itona!

Come in.

I win.

I proved that I'm stronger than the classroom wall.

Use the door!

That's all right.

That's all right.

I think we're going to have another troublesome kid.

Even Mr. Koro's stumped.

It's neither a smile nor a frown.

What does his vague expression mean?

His name is Itona Horibe.

Just call him by his own name.

A guardian in white and an unfathomable transfer student.

Looks like there'll be some unprecedented trouble coming.

Hey, Itona.

I'm curious about something.

You came into the classroom empty-handed.

It's raining heavily outside.

Why are you not soaking wet?

You must be the strongest in this class.

But don't worry.

You're still weaker than I am.

So I won't kill you.

I only want to kill

the one who is probably stronger than me.

In this classroom...

-Would you like some jelly? -That's you, Mr. Koro.

Are you talking about a fight, Itona?

Your strength is no match for mine.

I can do it.

After all,

you and I are biological brothers.

Brothers...

Brothers?

The one who loses, dies.

Koro.

No need for petty tricks between siblings.

Koro.

I will prove my strength by killing you.

After class, we'll prove who's superior in this room.

Sir, how did this "brother" thing come about?

Besides, how can a human and octopus be related?

I have no idea what he's talking about!

I am an only child.

I begged my parents to give me a little brother.

As a result, things got awkward at home.

Actually, do you really have parents?

STAFF ROOM

Are they really brothers?

Or is it just a strategy to rattle everyone?

Tadaomi, sorry to startle you.

After all, that child's existence was top secret.

That's why we couldn't even tell you.

But let me assure you

that he definitely is Mr. Koro's brother.

After school,

this matter will be verified.

He keeps eating sweets.

He has a sweet tooth just like Mr. Koro.

He's also an enigma.

Everyone's comparing me with him because of this "brother" business.

Things are getting awkward now.

I'll change the mood with this magazine I bought today.

A pleasure for adults.

DANCING YOUTH MAGAZINE

They both like girls with big breasts.

Looks like his credibility is increasing.

Is that so, Taiga?

Of course.

People who love girls with big breasts are all brothers!

Three brothers?

If they really are brothers, why doesn't Mr. Koro know?

It must've been like this.

Your Majesty, enemy soldiers are at our gates now.

I have no choice then.

Both my sons must remain alive even if all others die.

Itona, you go first.

Once you're over the bridge, you can run to safety.

Koro!

-Koro! -Forget about me, just run!

Itona, you must stay alive!

When they grew up, they didn't know they were biological brothers

and fate brought them together as enemies.

Then why is it that only the younger brother is human?

There must've been a genetic mutation.

This doesn't explain the main issue at all.

Yuzuki, your character setting is too superficial.

Work harder on your storyline.

-It's too unrealistic. -I wasn't telling a story anyway.

-It's weird. -Nothing of the sort.

Were the desks arranged into an arena?

Yes, it certainly is an arena match.

This is the first time someone is using this method of assassination.

Mr. Koro, you must be tired of the same old method of assassination.

Let's set one rule here, shall we?

Whoever takes one step out of the arena will be killed instantly.

How about that?

What nonsense.

Who'd want to observe that rule if he's really losing?

No.

If he breaks that rule before us all,

he'd lose our confidence in him as a teacher.

A restriction like this is very effective on Mr. Koro.

I have no problem with this rule.

However, Itona,

if you harm the spectators, you will also lose.

Then, you can start on my prompt.

Assassination...

Begin!

We were all focused on one spot.

However, it wasn't our teacher's arm that was cut off.

How's that possible?

Tentacles?

Itona has tentacles

for hair.

So that's how it is.

No wonder he didn't get wet in the rain.

His tentacles flicked away the rain.

Where?

Those tentacles.

Where did you get them?

We're not obliged to tell you, Mr. Koro.

But I suppose you've already understood.

You may be brought up differently by different parents,

but he really is your brother.

What a scary face you're making.

Did you recall something unpleasant?

It looks like

I need some explanation from you.

That's not possible, I'm afraid.

Because you'll die.

The type of pressure you're experiencing from the rays at such close range

will cause your cells to enlarge and dissolve.

Your body will become rigid in an instant.

We know your weaknesses inside out.

-Is he dead? -No.

Up above.

Molting?

Of course, you still have that ploy.

However, Mr. Koro,

we know your molting trick has a weak point too.

Molting requires more energy than it looks.

After that process, the speed you boast will decrease.

Plus, you've grown back the tentacle Itona cut off in the beginning.

That too consumes a lot of energy.

From my calculations,

your powers should be evenly matched by now.

Besides, your mental state

can substantially affect the control of your tentacles.

The shock from being attack by an unexpected tentacle

would have greatly rattled you.

It should be obvious

who is winning now.

On top of that, he has the total support of his guardian.

Now you'll need to regrow your legs too.

You'll be far weaker physically and far easier to dispose of.

I'm relieved.

Koro, I'm far stronger than you.

Mr. Koro is at a disadvantage now.

If they kill him, the world will be saved.

But why am I disappointed?

Mr. Koro's weakness are being revealed one by one.

These weaknesses were what we were looking for in class.

It's us who wanted to kill him.

You've regrown your legs now.

Right, then.

Can you hold out against the next attack?

I've never been this cornered before.

It seemed like a foolish match at first,

but it was actually carefully planned.

I have many questions to ask.

But it seems like you will not answer me unless I win this match.

Do you still think you can win?

The mad ravings of a dying octopus.

Shiro.

There's one thing you forgot to take into account.

There's none.

My calculations are perfect.

Attack.

Strange.

Looks like you stepped on something that fell to the ground.

When did he take it?

Since we have the same tentacles, these knives should work on you too.

You'd be shaken by the loss of your tentacles too.

But I'm a little more experienced.

My molted skin wrapped around you would've kept you unharmed.

But you've stepped out of the arena now.

So I've won this match.

According to the rules, you should be killed.

You can't kill me anymore.

If you want to live, you have to come to class with the others.

Learn things that you can't learn by performing calculations.

That's what you call the gap of experience.

I've lived a few years longer than you, so I know a few more things.

The reason I became a teacher

was so that I could teach you these things.

If you can't take my experience with you in this classroom,

you can't beat me.

Can't win?

Don't tell me

that I'm weak?

This is bad. Itona absolutely hates studying.

Teaching a kid who hates studying

will result in a massacre.

-Black tentacles? -No. That kid has lost his mind.

I'm very strong.

These tentacles make me stronger than anyone.

Anyone!

Excuse me, Mr. Koro.

Looks like the kid isn't emotionally prepared for school yet.

It's just his first day as a transfer student,

but please let him take a break.

Stop right there.

As the class teacher, I won't stand by and see my student go.

I will take care of him until he graduates.

Another thing, Shiro.

I have many things to ask you.

I refuse. I'm going.

Will you stop me by brute force?

The fibers are made to withstand you.

You can't touch me at all.

I'll get him back to class in no time, so don't worry, Mr. Koro.

After all, March isn't far away.

I'll be responsible for his tutoring.

With that nature of his,

he won't escape that place before the world is destroyed.

And that class...

It's really interesting.

Seeing the weather now,

looks like there'll be intermittent rain today.

I'm so ashamed. How mortifying.

What's the matter with Mr. Koro?

I don't know, it just started.

I'm embarrassed that I took part in such a serious matter.

I'm supposed to be a comedian.

-So you know? -It was cool how you flipped out just now.

"Those tentacles. Where did you get them?"

That sounds deadly, Kirara! Don't say it out!

Hearing it again makes me want to run away from here!

My selling point is being a natural dimwit.

Being seen with such a serious expression has ruined my characterization!

It makes me mad that you've even got your own character figured out.

-So embarrassing. -But that was surprising.

That Itona kid actually had tentacles.

Mr. Koro, hurry up and tell us.

What is your relationship with those two?

You always avoid talking about your real form.

We got curious seeing your expression just now.

That's right. We're all your students.

So we have the right to know about our teacher.

It can't be helped then.

I suppose I'll have to tell the truth.

The truth is, I am

a man-made life-form!

-I suppose that's true. -And then?

Why are you so calm?

Wasn't that a shocking revelation?

Well, in fact,

an octopus can't go at Mach 20 if he wasn't man-made.

And since you're not an alien, this is the only probability.

And Itona claimed to be your younger brother.

So it's not hard to imagine that he was created after you.

These kids are so sharp, it's so scary.

Mr. Koro, what we want to know is what happened after that.

Why were you so angry when you saw Itona's tentacles?

Why were you created?

How did you end up here?

I'm sorry,

but it would be pointless even if I told you.

If I blow up the Earth

will it matter to know when you're nothing but ash?

On the other hand, if you save the world,

you'll have endless opportunities to find out the truth.

Do you understand now?

If you want to know, just accomplish one thing.

Kill me.

The assassin and the target.

This is the chain that binds me to all of you.

If you're looking for answers from me,

you can only do so through the assassination.

If there are no questions, we'll call it a day.

See you tomorrow.

How embarrassing!

We are assassins.

We use guns and knives to seek answers.

The target is Mr. Koro.

Using his life to question us.

I wish a hole would appear and swallow me up.

The students were not harmed.

Please come and do some repairs.

Mr. Karasuma.

Who have we here? Why have you all come?

Sir.

Could you please teach us more skills for assassination?

More than what you're learning now?

Before this, we thought someone will surely kill Mr. Koro.

So we weren't really interested.

Yes. We realized after seeing Itona.

It can't be just anyone. We have to kill him ourselves.

If another formidable assassin comes along,

we'll be wondering what we're striving for.

So in the limited time we have, we'd like to do our best

to kill our teacher.

We want to kill him and find the answers ourselves.

Their attitudes have changed.

Not bad.

I understand.

I will give extra training to those who volunteer to stay back after school.

It'll be more rigorous than before.

Yes, sir!

Here's something new for you.

Vertical rope climbing.

It's so hard!

-Begin! -Kunugigaoka Junior High School Class E

-is an assassination class. -It won't work.

The rain has stopped. The school bell rings.

-Tomorrow, it'll ring again. -Next!
