Chapter 50: First day as an assassin
(Ryoto's pov)
Yesterday my class got a new teacher, but that doesn't make any difference for me, since yesterday was my first day at school. The 'fun' part is that we need to kill our teacher.
After the class ended, I returned to my empty apartment. I needed to the grocery store first. It was Mikan who usually did this, and she was the one cooking for the whole family. Now I am forced to eat my terrible homemade food. I miss them already *Sigh*. Maybe I should learn to cook? I'll surprise Mikan when I return.
I chuckled at my thought.
It's not a bad idea.

The next day I woke up trying to hug Lala, but of course, there wasn't anyone in my bed. It will be hard to get used to it. As I was brushing my teeth, I looked into the mirror. My expression that was getting better and better is now gone. I look indifferent, contrary to my usual smiling face. You genuinely don't know how much something means to you until you lose it. Maybe I should fake my mood like I used to do? Why bother, though. I'm tired of pretending.
I did my usual morning routine and went to school. On the way there, I met up with Kaede.
Kaede: "Good morning Yuuki-kun. Are you also taking this way to school?"
Ryoto: "Good morning Kayano-San. Yes, I live nearby, so that's the way I'm usually taking."
Kaede: "What a coincidence, my home is not a long way from here as well."
The conversation stopped for a moment as I didn't choose to continue it, but Kaede seemed to have other plans.
Kaede: "Hey Yuuki-kun, can I ask you something?"
Ryoto: "Sure."
Kaede: "Are you blind?"
Ryoto: "Huh?"
Kaede: "I mean, you didn't open your eyes yesterday or the day before."
Ryoto: "No, I'm not blind. I can see better than most, actually."
Kaede: "Really? Then how many fingers I'm showing you?"
She raised three fingers.
Ryoto: "Three."
She then quickly changed it to four fingers.
Ryoto: "Now it's four."
She tried it for a while while we were still walking. We didn't have a fast pace as we had still a lot of time before school began. She kept the conversation alive. And asked me many questions, about me, my family, my hobbies and so on. I answered them truthfully besides the questions about the family. I needed to have my story make sense after all.
Kaede: "I also noticed that you have a pair of accessories on both of your wrists."
Ryoto: "You're quite observant, Kayano-San. They are a gift from someone very important to me, and I don't feel comfortable without them."
My voice instinctively softened as I spoke about my web-shooters, and so did my expression. Kaede widened her eyes as she and the rest of the class only saw me being apathetic. I also touched one of them, ensuring they were still on my wrists.
Kaede: "So you can make this kind of face as well, huh?"
Ryoto: "Were you trying to get a reaction out of me?"
Kaede: "No, but it was a nice surprise. By the way, what do you think about our whole situation?"
Ryoto: "Nothing really, either we can kill him, or we die."
Kaede scratched her cheek as she laughed awkwardly.
Kaede: "Haha... You don't pull your punches."
We arrived at school and inside. Roma gave me a strange look, but I didn't bother with him. As our teacher took attendance, we were shooting at him. We weren't able to hit even once. Some students complained that he would not be harmed even if we hit him. He then attempted to demonstrate that they would be very effective against him. As he was about to shoot at his tentacle, I loaded my gun and was ready to shoot simultaneously to hide the sound of my gun, and I did precisely that, but our teacher managed to dodge it, but he looked a bit shocked at my action. He quickly recovered, though, and praised me for my effort.
Later Kaede gave him the name Koro-sensei.
Today we were writing poems, and we needed to finish end it with 'tentacles' in the last seven syllables. As soon as we finished it, we could go home. Nagisa was the first to finish and walked up to Koro-sensei with a hidden knife. His attempt failed, but he encircled his hand around sensei, and Ryoma pressed something blowing up branded that was hidden in an amulet hanging around Nagisa's neck.
It looked like he almost succeeded, but Koro-sensei dodged it and was in the corner of the classroom. His face color changed to pitch black, showing how angry he truly was. He then flew outside and collected all of the students' templates from their houses. Mine was there too, but I wasn't scared as the rest of the class. I don't have a family here after all.
Ryoma, on the other hand, was almost pissing himself. Koro-sensei then proceeded to praise the idea and especially Nagisa's performance. However, Ryoma and his goons were scolded.
After school, I started packing myself as I wanted to go home and lay for a bit. I don't have the motivation for training. Maybe next week I'll start again. I was stopped by Ryoma, though. I felt slightly annoyed but didn't show it.
Ryoma: "Hey, transfer student! We need to talk!"
I was impressed that he could talk like that after being scared by our teacher.
Ryoto: "What is it?"
Ryoma: "Your attitude, it pisses me off, and why the hell are your eyes always closed!? Can't open them, huh!?"
I frowned at his comment.
Ryoto: "What is your problem? We are both in the same class, and you want to make enemies inside too. Don't you have enough of them in the main building?"
Ryoma: "As if you understand what that means. You transferred directly to this class two days ago. You hadn't got hard like us!"
He barked at me. What is his problem?
Ryoma: "But your parents must be really proud of you to be already in the worst class from the beginning, hahahahaha!"
He made fun of me, and I usually would ignore him, especially in my current condition, but something snapped...
