Some time had passed here at Class 3-E, and Kaede's life had basically settled down. During class, she would practice her painting skills or read those two magic books.
However, Kaede was also thinking about the assassination methods Koro-sensei had mentioned.
In her view, assassination didn't need to be so troublesome at all; just charge in based on the most basic information and kill the target.
However, following Koro-sensei's words, for the first time, Kaede had a feeling of being at a loss. She couldn't charge in, couldn't use strength that far exceeded others—how exactly was she supposed to kill...
Changing the subject, up to now, Kaede, Xiao Mengxue, and Liu Mengqi still hadn't discovered the traces of the other team. It seemed they hadn't found Koro-sensei's location yet.
If Kaede could act like the most ordinary assassin, she could definitely find some information about those investigating Koro-sensei and then follow the trail to find the other team. Unfortunately, what Kaede was good at was only assassination.
Therefore, as an assassin, Kaede was still not qualified in many aspects.
Looking at Koro-sensei teaching up front, Kaede felt they didn't seem to need to worry about Koro-sensei's safety at all.
In the recent period, the students here had attempted assassination a few times, but in the end, not only did they fail, but they were also given a lecture by Koro-sensei while he was at it.
I have to say, Koro-sensei's teaching skills were quite strong, and he was indeed a qualified teacher.
However, thinking about Koro-sensei's painting skills, Kaede was covered in black lines. That Koro-sensei also wanted to learn painting to teach her, yet...
Koro-sensei was disheartened by Kaede time and time again, losing his color. However, in terms of color mixing, Koro-sensei did learn very quickly; at least teaching Kaede was no problem.
At this time, the bell for the end of class rang, and another lesson had ended.
The next class was physical education, and today it seemed to be taught by that Karasuma Tadaomi.
"Student Feng, are you going to class this time?" Shiota Nagisa walked over and asked. Usually, Kaede would skip physical education directly.
"Hmm, sure, let's go." Kaede also felt that she had been sitting here for so long that she was getting rusty.
"Okay." Shiota Nagisa smiled, then his gaze turned to the painting on Kaede's desk, his eyes showing amazement.
"Whoa, what a beautiful painting!" At this moment, Kayano Kaede also ran over, and seeing Kaede's painting, she couldn't help but exclaim. In fact, she wasn't familiar with Kaede, though they had spoken a few times...
"Who are they?" Shiota Nagisa looked at the two lifelike people in the picture and couldn't help but ask.
"My younger sisters." Kaede also looked at her own painting; this time she had painted the scene of the three of them reuniting under the sunset at that time.
However, there were only Akame and Kurome in the painting. Kaede didn't know how to paint herself into it; after all, in her memories, her own appearance had already changed.
"It always feels like something is missing." Kayano Kaede pointed to the blank space on the side, "Is it not finished yet?"
"No, it's just that I don't know how to paint it." Kaede shrugged, her eyes suddenly becoming gentle, "Actually, I'm just a bit conflicted."
As she spoke, Kaede looked at Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede, "Tell me, even if one's appearance has changed, as long as the heart hasn't changed, that's fine, right?"
"Of course." Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede nodded. Both of them were stunned by the gentleness Kaede revealed at this moment.
"Hmm." Kaede nodded. Her body, which had intended to get up, sat back down, and then she picked up the paintbrush and placed it on the paper, her movements smooth and flowing, without the slightest hesitation.
Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede exchanged a look and watched Kaede painting from the side. Before long, a figure appeared on the paper, which was unmistakably Kaede's likeness.
In the picture, Kaede was watching from the side as a little girl threw herself into another girl's arms, with a gentle smile on her lips, and that one exposed eye seemed capable of melting into water.
Even though it hadn't been colored yet, Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede could feel the emotion contained within her eyes.
"Phew!" Breathing out a sigh, Kaede looked at the painting in her hand with satisfaction. Coloring the painting required caution; at least in the short time during the break, it couldn't be completed.
However, Kaede smiled; this was enough, right?
"Player's painting skill broke through to LV2. Obtained one trial opportunity."
The system's voice came to Kaede's ears, yet as Kaede looked at her equipment, she didn't find the appearance of a third drawing board.
Kaede was a bit confused; the second drawing board seemed to have appeared automatically when she broke through to LV1, but now it hadn't appeared.
Regarding this situation, Kaede couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?" Shiota Nagisa was still marveling at Kaede's painting, and seeing Kaede's expression, he couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm?" Kaede realized, shook her head, "Nothing, let's go to class."
"Ah! It's already been a few minutes into class!" Kayano Kaede also finally realized.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
As for Shiota Nagisa, he looked at Kaede's back, thinking of the Kaede in the picture and that emotion hidden in her eyes.
"Student Feng must be a good person," Shiota Nagisa thought. At this moment, he finally no longer had any misgivings about Kaede's identity.
Arriving outside the classroom, almost everyone had already lined up. Karasuma Tadaomi stood at the front of the line, and Koro-sensei, wearing a gym suit, stood next to Karasuma Tadaomi.
"You two are the only ones left," Karasuma Tadaomi said to Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede.
"Sorry!" Shiota Nagisa and Kayano Kaede hurriedly joined the line. As for Kaede, she chose to sit under a tree, watching their training.
Blade swinging and physical training.
Very impressive, huh? Kaede looked at Karasuma Tadaomi with a bit of surprise; one could see it just from how easily Karasuma Tadaomi had taken down a few students just now.
Although taking down a few students didn't prove much by itself, it was enough for Kaede to see part of his strength.
"Teacher Karasuma, who is stronger, you or Student Feng?" Suddenly, a question came from the line. Of course, he was a bit annoyed that Kaede was resting there leisurely by herself, so he raised this question.
"This..." Karasuma Tadaomi had no way to answer for a moment. He looked at Kaede; he wouldn't admit to being weaker than her, but he was also afraid that if he said he was stronger than her, it would make Kaede leave directly.
Karasuma Tadaomi also knew that on the first day Kaede arrived, she had cut off one of Koro-sensei's tentacles, which meant that Kaede might be able to kill Koro-sensei, so he couldn't let her leave even more.
"Hmm, this will only be known after we compete." Kaede indicated that her body was already rusty, and seeing a decent opponent, she also wanted to take the initiative to attack for once.
"Are you going to compete?" Immediately, the students of the class were all excited.
"Alright," Karasuma Tadaomi also said. It just so happened that he could also demonstrate their strength to them.
"Rest assured, I won't use power that exceeds yours." Kaede also knew her current attributes; if she were to unleash them all, it would really seem like bullying people.
Karasuma Tadaomi didn't speak, but this feeling of being underestimated made him very unhappy as well. He had already set up his defensive stance.
Kaede slowly came from the shade of the tree to in front of Karasuma Tadaomi, her body making creaking sounds at this moment. Having been idle here for so long, her body was truly craving a fight!
