Assassination Classroom: 365 Days Page #3

---

You saying that

just ticks me off even more.

Isn't it more like

you're the worst at understanding

how the less powerful feel?

No! That's not it!

I'm being honest with my feelings!

Do you hate Koro Sensei?

We saw that movie with him...

and had all kinds of fun!

That's just it!

That octopus put everything he had

into making a fun classroom

that wouldn't turn out lazy losers like you!

This classroom couldn't exist

if our bloodlust were blunted!

Can't you see all his hard work?

Or do you have little-kid brains

to match your body?

Oh?

Huh? What's with that look?

An itty-bitty mouse like you,

defying a human?

I just...

Got something to say?

How about you say it

after beating me in a fight for once?

I'll gladly take you on. Bring it.

Q. Q Q Q. Q 'H Q. Q 'H

'an.

...am not going off half-assed!

Why, you...

Stop that!

What the hell are you two trying to prove?!

Urgh! This guy is crazy strong...!

Dammit! Chill out already!

"A junior-high fight? Most excellent!"

That's what Koro Sensei said, anyway.

You sound nothing like him.

The class was split right down the middle.

In the end, Koro Sensei suggested

a kind of battle royale

to settle things once and for all.

Two teams, "kill" and "don't kill":

Both had their arguments,

each with Koro Sensei in mind.

At the time, we could say we'd save him,

but we had no way of doing it.

I couldn't buy into such a reckless,

pie-in-the-sky idea.

Still, I wanted to save

our beloved Koro Sensei.

And I thought you were getting emotional,

betraying the lessons

he'd risked his life to teach.

But I--

I--

Ever since first year...

To put it simply, I looked up to Karma.

He did what he wanted

and was completely unafraid.

And yet, he was smart

and could do anything.

So I was happy when he talked to me,

and we started to hang out.

But we couldn't stay friends for long.

He could stand where he did

because he had the strength to win.

His was a stage

I could never hope to share.

He must have gotten bored,

being on my stage with me.

By the time he had gotten suspended,

we'd gone back

to being plain old classmates.

He's a harmless little mouse,

making him one of the few people

a combative guy like me

didn't have to be careful around.

But looking back,

I put that distance between us...

...because there was already a part of him

back then that made me uneasy.

I could put my guard down around him...

...but something kept me on alert.

It was hard to handle,

and before I knew it, we had drifted apart.

Now for the first time, in Year 3,

we're up on the same stage: assassination!

And we need to win

to get our own points across!

--You're going down!

--You're going down!

Now!

Tch!

Now's my chance!

I'll knock you out, then take

my sweet time dealing the final blow!

That all you got?

Karma's taking

Nagisa's attacks on purpose.

Karma is a combat assassin

who values the process.

Bargaining, strategy,

how to defeat your foe...

...and after that battle

comes his assassination.

Nagisa, on the other hand,

is a pure assassin,

single-mindedly searching for

the one strike that will lead to victory.

And Karma takes it all, blow after blow.

If he wins like that,

even Nagisa will have to accept defeat.

I'll probably never find

another place like this again,

where your feelings

can be right out in the open.

But I will kill him...

...because I believe it's right.

What--now?!

That's the last of his strength!

He bit his tongue

to keep from going down!

Just you try killing me, Nagisa...

...with that talent I never had!

I'll break it all right over my knee--

and win!

All that bloodlust, condensed into that knife.

If I can just dodge that, I win!

Huh?

N-No bloodlust?!

You will hear me out'.!

Nagisa used his own

best assassination skill as a sacrifice

and chose martial arts for his finisher.

All so he could end things

using Karma's specialty, not his.

Just like I did to Nagisa--he's trying

to get me to accept my defeat.

Uh-oh.

At this rate...

...I'll be toast!

A knife!

That close?

Me. fight?

I think I'd be too scared to fight.

I mean, if my life depended on it...

Uncle. I give.

I lost, Nagisa.

Hey! Listen!

That's enough!

Due to the red team's surrender,

the blue team--

the "don't kill" team-has won!

Yesss!

I won? l... beat Karma?

Like anyone would

approve of me using a knife

to beat a barehanded mouse

who showed that much moxie.

I couldn't stab you, and I couldn't get away.

I was backed into a corner,

where all I could do was surrender.

You beat me with martial arts,

not with a knife.

To think that was the best way to kill me...

I got slaughtered. You want

to save Koro Sensei? I'm listening.

Really? Are you sure?

Don't give me that dumb look

with that beat-up face of yours.

You look like a plague rat.

Th-Those insults sure do

trip right off your tongue, Karma...

Look...

Hup!

...why don't we drop the formality already?

I don't much feel like

sticking with it after that fight.

What, now?

It feels weird to change

this late in the game.

I'll do it, then. Okay, Nagisa?

All right, Karma.

When a big decision looms,

people reveal their true feelings--

and, in some cases, fight in earnest.

But take a look at these students.

It's precisely because

they all fought in earnest

--Your attacks were awfully weak, Karma. --that they can

understand what they normally don't show one another.

--You know I was pulling my punches! --Ow ow ow! --that they

can understand what they normally don't show one another.

Sometimes conflict can be the best

opportunity to deepen friendships.

How would you put it?

"Discord and conflict

are part of education, too"?

You're the first person

lever fought like that.

If I hadn't riled you up, you wouldn't

have known your own intentions.

Yeah.

And if we hadn't fought

with our true intentions laid bare,

it'd've ended in us

just pretending to be friends.

I've fought with all kinds of folks...

...but I consider my bout

with you to be my best.

Ah, we were a couple

of annoying teens, after all.

An out-of-season research project

for our assassination classroom:

Hijack the space station

and steal their experiment data!

The class came around as one

to saving Koro Sensei.

Who'd have thought we'd have to

rob a damn space station

to get the research data?

I'd never flown faster

than Koro Sensei before.

We'd surpassed our teacher,

if only for a moment.

A graduation trip

that gave everyone good vibes.

You bet. And thanks to this classroom,

there's not much that can rattle me now.

Good for you.

Going by the data we'd obtained,

the possibility of Koro Sensei exploding

was less than one percent.

We figured it was as good as zero.

We were sure we'd get our happy ending.

But...

No matter how many

assassination techniques we'd mastered,

we were still just

junior-high kids in society's eyes.

As far as the government was concerned,

our days spent in assassination
