Original subtitles

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 kill 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 kill 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 kill 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 attack 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 kill 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 violence, but education.

I'm not interested to face you using violence.

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 stab me with his knife,

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 killing the opponent.

Hence, of course,

the knife should be a real one.

A real knife?

Stop it.

They've never been trained to kill 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 stab.

Also, I'm unarmed.

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

This trick worked in the army too.

First, I beat down the terrified recruit who's holding the knife.

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 knife 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 knife,

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 knife?

It's impossible to attack an expert with a knife.

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 knife.

"To stab someone with a real knife will kill 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 knife.

Then, I remembered Mr. Karasuma's suggestion.

That's right.

I don't need to fight him.

I just need to kill him.

I JUST NEED TO KILL 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 killed.

He was startled. He lost his balance.

Everyone startled when they realized they're about toget killed.

Even Mr. Koro.

His center of gravity swung backwards.

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

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 kill 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 violence,

but he does for assassination.

Should I encourage a talent like this?

Does it count if I used the back of the knife?

That's enough.

The outcome is clear, Mr. Karasuma.

Seriously, are you out of your mind letting a student use a real knife?

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 knife.

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 attack a father-figure with a knife

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 kill 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 violence

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!
