Danny Stein, the American (Assassination Classroom X OHSHC)

Chapter 9

Karasuma-sensei and I made our way back to the classroom.  We were standing in front of the door when he stopped me.

"I forgot to tell you one more thing about Koro-sensei..."

I interrupted him.

"Nagisa already warned me about his appearance, and some of his abilities."

Karasuma-sensei nodded, and opened the door for me.

The sound of gunshots met my ears, and my eyes widened.  All of the students that I had met this morning were shooting non-stop at the teacher taking role.  The teacher was dodging every single one.

I glanced back at Karasuma-sensei, and saw him studying the group, almost as if he was taking mental notes.  I turned back to the class.

With each name called, a student responded.

I knelt down and opened my case.  I took one bb and inserted it into the gun.  I stood up and waited.

"Ritsu."

"Here."

Everybody stopped shooting, and I raised my own gun.  I waited.

"I guess Stein Danny hasn't arrived yet...."

I pulled the trigger, and the bullet went flying towards the teacher.

And then, something, no two things, happened.

First, my bullet completely missed.  The teacher didn't even have to dodge to avoid getting shot.

Second, the recoil of the gun jerked my hands, and the gun hit me in the face.  I dropped the gun to hold my face.

Everyone turned to look at me.  It was silent for a moment, before I heard someone burst out in laughter.  I peeked between my fingers briefly to see who was laughing.  It was a red-headed boy in the back.  Nagisa shot the laughing idiot a quick glare before addressing the teacher.

"Koro-sensei, Stein Danny is present."

The teacher turned to face me.

My vision was slightly impaired, seeing as my hands were covering my entire face.

"Are you OK?"

I took one hand away, the one covering my eyes and forehead, but kept my eyes closed.  I slowly opened them when I took my other hand away.  It was covered in red liquid.  I cursed silently.

The teacher panicked as I calmly picked up my gun and placed it in the case, all the while holding my hand to my nose.  I was almost ignoring the teacher that was flitting around like a hummingbird.  Almost.

When I finally looked up to address the teacher, I got my first actual impression of him.

Yellow tentacles swirled around us, and his large, round, yellow face took up almost my entire view, especially since he was standing right in front of me.  A worried smile and beady eyes stared into my face, which was still gushing blood.

I shook myself out of my shocked state, and addressed him.

"Ohayo, sensei."

A napkin was pressed against my face, more specifically, my nose.

"You should be more careful when handling guns."

"Hai, sensei."

Koro-sensei looked at me for a moment, examining me.

"Choose any empty seat, and then we'll start with today's topic."

I took a seat in the back, where the only two people in the row were a boy with brown and blond hair, and the now-chuckling idiot.
