Koro-sensei's bounty was set at 10 billion, which, even in the not-so-valuable Japanese Yen, was definitely a huge sum.
Such a price tag would automatically deter some low-level assassins, though of course, there would be some who wanted to try their luck.
However, this time, the one who took on the mission was a world-class assassin, Irina.
Right from the start, she set a trap for Koro-sensei using a 'damsel in distress' scenario, yet Koro-sensei seemed to have a really low resistance to busty beauties.
At least in the eyes of the students of Class 3-E, Koro-sensei had truly fallen for it.
Irina had come to Class 3-E in the capacity of an English teacher.
"A professional assassin?" Looking at Irina, Kaede's eyes lit up. She was just worrying about not knowing what to do, and now a teaching material had been delivered to her.
Thus, Kaede put down her paintbrush and quietly locked her gaze onto Irina.
Irina just felt as if she were being watched, but when she looked around and didn't find anything, she didn't think much of it.
Because she was already used to it; after all, she was a great beauty, and being stared at was a very normal thing.
"The monster that the whole class mobilized to kill couldn't be killed; can you, Bitch-nee-san, assassinate it alone?" Seeing that Koro-sensei had been 'asked' by Irina to go buy something far away, Akabane Karma teased.
"You brat, adults have adult ways of killing, you know~" As she said this, she looked at Shiota Nagisa, her eyes lighting up. "You must be Shiota Nagisa, right?"
"Eh, yes." Shiota Nagisa nodded blankly.
Then Irina suddenly walked over to Shiota Nagisa, fixed Shiota Nagisa's head with both hands, and kissed Shiota Nagisa.
"...Seduction?" Kaede thought as she watched this scene, but as expected, she could never use such a method.
However, Kaede didn't know if Irina's method would work, but she did know that Irina was likely about to be hated by the entire class of students.
Especially during class, the way Irina just sat there trimming her nails completely annoyed the students of Class 3-E.
"Hey, hey, Bitch-nee-san, may I ask what your assassin ranking is?" Akabane Karma suddenly asked.
"Assassin ranking? Within the top 100, I suppose." Irina said, a look of pride on her face.
"Eh~ within the top 100, huh? Then, Bitch-nee-san, do you know that there is currently a world-ranked number three assassin in our class?" The smile on Akabane Karma's face deepened.
"What? Withering is here?" Irina's eyes widened. She remembered the assassin rankings very clearly; Withering was an assassin ranked below her teacher.
"Ah, yes. It seems Bitch-sensei isn't much, then~" After Akabane Karma's reminder, the students of Class 3-E finally found a way to strike back.
"That's right, that's right! Even Withering hasn't been killed, so Bitch-sensei, don't bother anymore; hurry up and leave!"
"Withering is which one?" Irina still didn't quite believe it.
"I'm behind you." Kaede's voice reached Irina's ear.
Some students had seen Kaede walk over, so they weren't surprised, but most people hadn't noticed, and they were startled at this moment.
When exactly did she walk over? Could it be that Kaede also possessed speed like Koro-sensei?
Irina's eyes widened. She turned to look at Kaede, who was standing behind her and looking at her indifferently. Sweat broke out on her forehead. If she had wanted to kill her, she probably could have finished her off right then and there, right?
Kaede was also a bit helpless. Originally, she wanted to quietly observe Irina's actions, but after these students of Class 3-E dragged her out, she couldn't continue.
"I want to ask you a few questions, is that okay?" Kaede asked directly.
"Yes, yes, that's fine." Irina stood up, her expression somewhat respectful, and the depths of her eyes, looking at Kaede, revealed fear.
"The assassination method you use is seduction, right?" Kaede asked first.
"Yes."
"Then can you tell me what preparations you make before an assassination?"
"Eh?" Irina was stunned. She didn't quite understand why Withering, who was ranked third, would ask such a question, but she answered anyway.
Although seduction mainly relied on her own good looks, in reality, there was a lot more to pay attention to, like this time with Koro-sensei's 'damsel in distress'.
And it was best to investigate the assassination target's preferences, as well as the most suitable location for the assassination, to facilitate extraction after a successful kill.
"Oh, is that so." Kaede pondered, as if she understood something in her mind.
What Koro-sensei said might not make her physically stronger, but it could make up for some of her weaknesses, which could also be considered an indirect way of getting stronger...
"Yes, that's right. Um, you didn't know that?" Irina asked.
"Hm, I didn't. My assassinations don't need to be so troublesome." Kaede said, looking at Irina. "Just like how you didn't notice when I walked up to you just now; it's very convenient."
"..." Irina blinked. "Since you possess such monstrous skills, why ask these things?"
Although she didn't dare to show it, anger flared in Irina's eyes. She felt that Kaede seemed to be deliberately toying with her.
"Who knows?" Kaede smiled and then walked toward her seat. Perhaps she understood now: Koro-sensei was afraid that her assassination methods would lead her into traps or something similar.
Although Kaede was very strong and could be considered invincible in this world, she certainly wouldn't be in others. Once she fell into a trap, it would likely be very troublesome.
What Koro-sensei wanted her to learn was the most basic intelligence gathering, and then acting based on that intelligence, not for her to abandon her own advantages.
Controlling one's presence was the top-tier talent for an assassin; abandoning it was simply putting the cart before the horse.
Afterward, Irina wasn't as presumptuous as before, but she still had no intention of teaching Class 3-E English.
As for Irina's ending, Kaede didn't even need to think about it; she would definitely be taught a lesson by Koro-sensei.
However, it was probably true that Koro-sensei was a pervert.
But, there was never a rule that a pervert couldn't remain calm and clear-headed. In other words, even if Koro-sensei didn't remain calm and clear-headed, it would still be impossible to kill him at his full speed of Mach 20.
Fast speed is good, but one must possess the corresponding reaction time. Looking at Koro-sensei, who could freely do all sorts of things at Mach 20, one knew whether he had that kind of reaction time.
However, none of this should matter to Kaede anymore. What she needed to do now was think about how to improve her own ability to gather intelligence.
Although she knew this was her own weakness, it didn't seem easy to resolve.
By the way, those three people hadn't appeared yet, and knowing their identities wasn't of much use.
However, after Xiao Mengxue found out, she moved her residence to a place very close to Class 3-E; as long as a signal was sent, she could come up to support at any time.
