"What do you mean I can't have anymore money, old man?!" I yelled while walking up the mountain to the old campus. "Exactly what I said! You're wasting your money on useless things. You're going to wait until the government pays you." Karasuma said and I glared. "Probably gone broke already." I muttered. "What was that shortie?" He said. "You wanna go, old man?!" I yelled. Karasuma glared. "I'm not old!" He growled. "Careful, I think I see a few grey hairs forming. Pretty soon, you'll have grandchildren." I said. "So you're saying you'll have children." Karasuma said with a smirk. "Hell no!" I yelled.

I got up to speed with the plan to get Irina and Karasuma together, since it was Irina's birthday. I was with Nagisa's group until I got a phone call. I stepped at from the group. "Hello?" I answered. "Hello, Ms. [L/n]." I heard and my eyes widened. "Oh [Y/n]-chan, I had no idea that your father was a wanted assassin. And the bounty on you is 7 million yen? Wow." Asano said. "Bastard, how did you...?" I growled. "I did a little research. Met me at Isogai-kun's café, after school." Asano said and hung up. 'I am screwed.' I thought to myself and rejoined the group. We walked back to school with the bouquet of roses to gave to Karasuma. "A bouquet for Irina's birthday? Why me? She'd be happier to get it from you." Karasuma said. 'Idiot.' I thought. 'And you call Karasuma dense.' Karma's voice rung in my head. "Karasuma-sensei, if you consider that bitch a vital asset, wouldn't winning your colleague over be big part of your job? Oh, and let's not tell her who got the bouquet." Karma said. 'Nicely played' I thought to myself. "You do have a point. All right, I'll do it. Thank you for your concern." Karasuma said and took the flowers. We all watched from the window. I smiled a bit when Karasuma gave Irina the flowers. "Nice." I muttered. I notice Irina face turn sour once Karasuma started talking about business. 'Karasuma, you idiot.' Irina walked over and opened the window we were hiding behind. "Crap." I muttered. "No way would that square think to give me flowers for my birthday." She said and shot Koro-sensei. "Did you enjoy yourselves? Stringing along a pro assassin, watching her get her hopes up?" Irina said. "That's not it, Ms. Irina. the student acted out of pure affection to-" Koro-sensei said. "Save your lame argument, octorazzi!" Irina said and handed Karasuma the bouquet. "You've opened my eyes. Thanks for the best present ever." Irina said. This was pissing me off. "Karasuma, don't tell me you still haven't noticed." I said. "Do I really look that dense to you? You may think I'm heartless, but if she can't keep her cool, I'll hire another assassin. She's not qualified to work here if her blade can be blunted by romance. That's all there is to it." Karasuma said.

I sighed as I sat in a booth with Asano. To be honest, I was scared. I didn't want my secret to come out. Asano sat with a smirk on his face. "So Ms. [L/n]-" He said and I covered his mouth. "Shut the hell up. Do you want to be killed?" I growled then sighed. "Look, saying my last name out loud is dangerous and you could end up dead. So, what do you want anyway?" I asked. "To know your secrets." He said and I glared. I noticed a shady man sitting in a booth beside us. "Let's go." I muttered and grabbed Asano's hand. We walked out of the café, down the street. "What are-" "Shh." I hushed him. I noticed the guy was following us. "Go." I said while pushing him away. "What?" Asano said. "Shut up and leave before you get hurt." I said and walked over to the man. He pulled out a knife and I dodged it. I led him into an alleyway. The man came at me with the knife again and I kicked it out of his hands. I blocked his attempt to kick me and punch him in the gut. I pulled out my knife and cut him across the chest then tackled him to the ground. I covered his mouth and stabbed him repeatedly in the chest until he was completely dead. I gave an amusing smiled and continued to stab his dead corpse. I began to laugh like a innocent child until I realized with I had done. 'Monster!' My eye widened and I looked at my bloody hands. "I'm...a monster....a-and I was doing...so well" I muttered and saw Asano. I grabbed my knife and ran home.

I arrived at school extremely late. I looked for Karasuma in the staff room but no luck. "Yo, old man...!" I called and opened the classroom door. I saw a familiar man standing in the front of our class. "Oh, [Y/n]-chan, it good to see you again." He said then it hit me. "Reaper, what are you doing here?" I growled and glared. "To teach you and your class." He said and I raised a brow. I sat in my seat. "A flower's beauty negates human caution and opens the heart. Just like I told you guys, Nagisa. But the original reason flowers evolved to be lovely and fragrant. Ritsu, bring up the imagine I sent you." Reaper said and she brought up the imagine of Irina tied up. My eyes widened "Was to attract insects."' He finished. "I'll cut to the chase: If you want to keep her alive, you must all come to the location I specify and not a word to your teachers. You don't have to if you don't want to. I cann send her to you. To each f you, equally, in little pieces. And my next flower will likely be one of you. Maybe you, [Y/n]-chan." Reaper said and glared back at me. "Hey, now, buddy. We have no real obligation to save that bossy bitch. Plus...did you think we wouldn't give you a beatdown right here, you kidnapper?" Terasaka said. "That's incorrect, Terasaka. Wrong on all counts. You all like her more than you think. And a human could never cut down the Reaper." Reaper said and threw flower petal in the air then disappeared. "Fear not. The Reaper only cuts people down." His voice was still heard. "[Y/n]-san, how do you know him?" Karma asked. "I've face him a couple of times. I barely escape with my life." I growled and glared at the ground. "Stupid Reaper." I muttered and clutched my fist. Haru and Kohaku gave me worried looks. They couldn't leave the campus to help and protect me so their hand were tied. "We're usin' these." Terasaka said and help up our new gear. "To protect someone...right?" Nakamura said. "Greatest assassin or not, we won't let his plans go off without a hitch!" Tersaka said.

We met up at the location. "Is that the way in?" Maehara asked. "I did a loop-around from above. No sign of anyone in the area." Itona said. "Ritsu, if we're not back by midnight, tell Koro-sensei what's going on?" Hara said. "Okay. Stay safe, everyone." Ritsu said. "Let's go." I said and we all snuck into the entrance. We all went inside and the space was huge. "That's all of you? Okay, then: I'm closing it up." Reaper said from the intercom then closed and locked the door. "Hmm. So you can tell what we're doing. Reaper? More like 'Peeper!'" Karma said. "We kept our end of the bargain. Just give back Bitch-sensei and it'll all be over!" Kataoka shouted and the room started to lower. I held on to the nearest person to me which was Maehara. "Are you alright?' He asked and I nodded. Reaper came into view. "Trapping complete. Doing it all at once like this keep the risk to a minimum." Reaper said. I could see Irina. "Bitch-sensei." They shouted. "It's all right. If he comes quietly, no one gets killed." Reaper said. "If we go the defiant route...you won't get mad enough to kill?" Okajima asked. "Nope. You're little too scared, even for a kid." Reaper said. "Actually, I'm a little relieved." Okajima said. I gave the signal and they placed the bomb. "Okuda!" I ordered. "Right!" She said and threw a smoke bomb. The explosive exploded and we all escaped. "Now for the moment of truth." I muttered. "Can you hear me, E-class? The truth is, I'm very pleased you escaped. It'll be the warm-up before the unknown big game. I expect great things form you." Reaper said form the intercom. "It's like...a game." Hayami said. "Let's intercept him here. No matter which way he comes from, we'll have the upper hand if we outnumber him." Isogai said. "Ritsu, back us up." Hara said. "Don't fell like it. Not like I'm gonna defy the Reaperman. I'd sooner turn off than do any work." Ritsu said. "She's been hacked!" We shouted. I saw a shadow. "Here he comes." I said, but the reaper had no body. Matsumura and Yoshida ran at him. "Don't!" I yelled, but it was too late. They were already on the floor. He punched Kimura, knocking him out. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Kayano. I pushed her out of the way and dodged the kick. "You've gotten faster, [Y/n]-chan...But not fast enough." He said and punched me in the face. My back hit the wall, knocking the wind right out of me. "Step aside, everyone. I'll take him." Nagisa said. "N-No, Nagisa." I muttered. I watched as all my friend got beaten. "Stop it...Stop, please...STOP IT!!" I yelled. I slowly got up. "Oh [Y/n]-chan's mad." He said. Reaper gave me a confused look. I didn't notice my eyes turning red and white strands of hair forming. "What's this?" He muttered and before be could blink I was in front of him. I kicked him in the face, sending him flying. Reaper got up and smirked. "Alright." He said and tried to punch me and I dodged it. I continued to dodge his attacked until he finally hit me in my stomach. I growled and grabbed his wrist then threw him over my shoulder. His back slammed on the ground. Reaper coughed up blood as I picked him up again and slammed him against the wall. I reached into the pocket of my gear and pulled out my knife, but I was until struck with pain. My brain felt like it was going to explode. "AHHHH!" I screamed in agony and passed out from the pain.

I woke up in a cell along with the rest of my classmates. I saw Irina talking to the Reaper. "She was in on this the whole time." I muttered and sat up. I tried to move my hands but they were tied. "[Y/n]-chan, you're okay?" Itona asked. "My face hurts. So not really. I failed. I couldn't protect everyone and was tricked by Irina." I said and looked down at the ground. I felt someone hard come in contact with my head. It was Itona's head. "That hurt, dammit!" I yelled. "I've learned something. We can lose today. We'll wait for our chance until we can win." Itona said. I smiled a bit. "I guess hanging out with Terasaka does pay off." I said. "I don't know how you're going to try killing Koro-sensei, but will it really all go according to plan?" Karma asked. "No matter how poor my intel, I'll still get results. That's the world's best assassin for you." Reaper said then stopped and showed Irina his phone. "Karasuma?" Irina said and I smirked. "How did he know?" The reaper muttered. "The octopus said if there was ever a wall his students couldn't get over...Then it'd be his turn." Itona said and I smirked. 'Be prepared for battle, old man. Karasuma, Koro-sensei, we're counting on you both.'
