She leaned her head against the tree she sat, pulling her hood further over her eyes.
"So tired..." she yawned, covering her face with her arm as she looked up.
She found her boredom unbearable. 3E had finished their exams a few days ago and now Korosensei was handing out the results for said exams, thus meaning there was shit all for Emiko to do.
And soon she heard angry muttering from below her, peering over the branch edge, she watched as Karma angrily mumbled to himself.
'I see someone didn't place first in maths like he wanted.'
"Being angry won't change anything" He looked up, staring as he watched her look down at him. "It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you didn't place first in maths, that's what you're pissed about right?" She jumped from the tree, sticking her hand out as she landed in front of him. He angrily shoved the paper into her hand, she skimmed over it and sighed, "If you had actually put effort into it—" she gave the paper back, "and didn't laze around, you would've gotten first"
When he didn't respond, she pet his head and walked away.
A few hours later...
"Hey, where's Mizuki? She hasn't been on any mission lately has she?"
Sweat dropping, Irina responded, "Ah no. Mizuki said that if she spent more than thirty minutes with you, your crappiness would kill her brain" At that the class started retorting, well at least Terasaka did, anyway.
"So she thinks she's better than us does she?!"
"Technically she is," Hayami spoke. "She's got the smarts, she's got the refined skills no one else does and she doesn't get wound up easily" The others nodded with her
"I think the only thing she sucks at is having a lot of people skills" Kayano pointed out
At this point, Mizuki had walked into the room, though no one noticed her. Whilst the others were conversing about her she decided to make her presence known
"Is this what usually happens when I'm not here?"
The room went dead silent. Although it was soon broken by Korosensei's late reaction, he shrieked and doubled over, putting a tentacle on where she assumed his heart was.
"Mizuki!" Octopus cried out, "Please don't scare me like that!"
"Tsk" Mizuki walked past everyone and sat in her seat. "What were you talking about?" She looked at the redhead beside her
"Just a school trip" She nodded
Timeskip
"Well well, I see you brats are working up a good sweat, summer vacation notwithstanding" Emiko pinched the bridge of her nose, heaving a sigh as she watched Irina relaxing
"Oi oi, She approached the older woman, snatching the glass of alcohol out of her hands, and pouring the rest of it on the floor. "Stop lazing around, get your ass up"
"WHY YOU-!!" Ignoring her she bowed her head to the male behind her
"And only take away the best parts. That's my Irina"
Oneesan whipped around and widened her eyes, "L-Lovro, sir!"
"He's here as a special instructor for the summer. He'll give us tips from a pro's perspective" Karasuma explained
"Rest one day and your fingers and arms forget about killing. If you don't want to flunk out then hurry up and get changed!" Lovro sensei yelled
"Y-Yes, absolutely!" She exclaimed as she jumped to her feet and ran away, not before she threw the glass at her
She sighed in disappointment as she watched her flee. "Damn woman" she grumbled, shaking her head before turning to Lovro, "What would you like me to do?"
"Nothing. Until you are healed, you will sit by and watch" She scoffed in annoyance, cursing under her breath.
"Old bastard..."
Lovro karate-chopped her head
"I can hear you" She huffed, walking off. As far as the steps, she sat down and pulled her phone out, playing whatever games to ease her boredom, considering she hadn't done anything since her injury
As she watched the class, she could hear their plan to assassinate Korosensei. Emiko shook her head in amusement, being able to easily guess what Lovro was thinking when Blueberry told him their first step of the plan. Psych attacks. They'll throw him off by cornering him with all the dirty things he's done, one in particular...
'Porn Mags' she fought not to facepalm
As time went on, Nagisa asked a question that caught her attention. She stared at the duo as Lovro answered him.
"What is the best assassin like?"
Lovro chuckled, "So you're interested in the world of assassins, eh?"
"Oh, uh, that's not why I..."
"Well, there's only one person on this planet who can be called the very best assassin." Emiko scowled, "As is often the case of this line of work, no one knows his real name. They call him by one name... And this is: The Reaper." She balled her hands into fists. "Elusive, incomparably cold-blooded, and piles of bodies in his wake, he is known by the name of Death himself. If you keep having trouble killing your target... the reaper will show up sooner or later" That was it. Emiko stood up and stomped off angrily.
"M-Mizuki?!"
Lovro sighed as he watched his pupil stomp off. "I should have known..."
"What's wrong with Mizuki?"
"She's always been half a step behind the Reaper, although she might not seem like it; she is one of the most hardworking assassins out there, but no matter how much she may try to best him, he's always ahead," Lovro explained.
Almost everyone stopped, chills running down their spines.
"She's that strong?" Sugaya questioned
"Although he is ahead of her, their skill is quite even in terms of strength, intelligence and combat. Whenever the two fight no one has any idea who will win. But because of her attitude, she's been stuck in second" Irina said with a nod
The class shivered, they knew their classmate was strong, but they never would've imagined that she was that strong.
"Enough about those two, back to training"
And thus their southern-island assassination kicked off
Timeskip
"Tsk" She massaged her temple as she placed a hand on the edge of her katana. "Irina" The blonde turned to her. "I'll be gone. Don't call me" With that, she was gone.
~~~~~~
A/n: I just realised you haven't been given an update about Emiko's leg. Her injury has gotten a lot better so she doesn't need to use crutches, now her ankle is sort of like a minor sprain so she doesn't have long until she's completely healed.
