As promised, here is today's second update :)

As the end of the term approaches, Korosensei increases his study sessions. Similarly to midterms, there are lots of clones, but this time we're sitting outside to enjoy the nice weather.

"You've got the basics down cold over the past semester, students. At this rate, I expect your grades on finals to shoot right up." Korosensei says.

"Korosensei, do you want us to make the top fifty this time too?" Nagisa asks.

"No. I was too focused on your total scores for midterms. I've come to believe that each student should have a goal better suited to themselves. And that's why I've come up with the perfect target for our assassination classroom!" Korosensei says, suddenly ceasing his hovering, except for Terasaka, that is. "D-Don't worry, Terasaka! You've got a shot at reaching it too!" Terasaka scowls and Korosensei appears in the center of the group, holding a gun.

"Now, then... As Shiro said, when I lose a tentacle, I also lose speed." Korosensei says, shooting off one of his tentacles, deploying his doubles as an example. "As you can see, even one tentacle makes a difference. I can't keep up the quality of my images, and now there's a few children images mixed in."

"So that's how images are reduced!" Nagisa says in awe.

"Lose one more," Korosensei says, the images changing even more. "and you get more child images with the parent images fretting about how to make ends meet."

"Yay!" The child images cheer as they run off to play, the parents huddling together, looking stressed.

"This has taken a rather heartbreaking turn." Nagisa comments, sweat dropping.

"Lose yet another," Korosensei shoots off a third tentacle. "and now the father image has vanished, leaving the mother image to raise the children on her own."

"Sheesh, that's rough!" Nagisa exclaims. Doesn't doing all of that just take more effort, though?

"Each tentacle reduces my movement capability by approximately ten percent. Here's the deal: each student who receives a top score, either overall or in an individual subject, will have the right to destroy one tentacle." Korosensei says, piquing our interest. "This is the final exam for our assassination classroom. Can you get any closer to that ten-billion-yen prize? That, my students, is up to you." Korosensei taunts us. Once we're back in class for our break, people start talking about the proposition.

"It's only one subject, right? Do you think you'll go for anything, (Y/n)?" Maehara asks.

"It's a great opportunity, but I don't excel at any one subject, so it's pretty much useless for me. It'll be great for some of the others, though." I say.

"One tentacle for each top score..." Nagisa murmurs.

"Yeah! We can do this!" Okuda says happily.

"Since when are you ever this fired up, Okuda?" Karma asks from he back of the room.

"Well, since science is my one strong suit, I might finally be able to help everyone out!" She says with a big smile.

"We have our share of high-scoring students here. Acing one subject isn't that far-fetched!" Kayano says.

"See." I say to Maehara. "Okuda has science, Isogai has social studies, and I'm pretty sure some of the others are good in other subjects." I say. Then Sugino's phone starts buzzing on his desk.

"Shindo?" He hums before answering bringing it up to his ear. "Hello? Hey, what's up? Haven't seen you since the tournament." Sugino is quiet for a moment, Shindo supposedly speaking before Sugino responds. "Still as condescending as ever, I see." Another pause. This time, however, Sugino's features darken and he puts his phone on speaker, gesturing for all of us to listen.
