Another day hiking up the damn mountain, another day of being late. It was like she was never on time. Her red jacket flapped in the slight breeze that carried through. She fiddled with her yellow bow as she finally reached the campus.

It's been a few days since the octopus thing started to teach, and it pissed her off that he would scold her like a child every time she was late.

Music was blasting in her ears as she made her way inside, wondering what she'd find today.

Sliding the classroom door open she saw everyone collecting rounds of ammunition. Probably went with a full scale attack. It didn't seem to go so well because the octopus teacher was still intact.

The students didn't bat an eye at Tomori's late presence. They were used to it. The octopus however appeared in front of her, going supersonic. 

Tomori's earbuds were ripped out and they appeared in the creature's tentacles. Her iPod dangling by the cord. A dark purple 'X' adorned his purple face. "Otosaka Tomori a tardy for you young lady."

Tomori's blue eyes flashed dangerously as she snatched her iPod and earbuds out of it's tentacles. "Shut up. You don't think I know that." She spat. 

Tomori looked over her device to make sure it wasn't in the least bit damaged. She gave a sigh of relief when she saw it wasn't. She  made her way to her seat and sat down. Her day already ruined ten-fold.

The octopus turned his attention back towards the class as he started monologuing. "As was explained, this are Anti-Me BBs, harmless to you. But," He took a pause in his speech to shoot off one of his tentacles. The rest of the class let out squeals of shock. Tomori just looked on bored, she  had no interest in killing the thing. "Able to split my cells like a knife through warm tofu. Developed by your government for that express purpose."

Tomori's eyes drifted to the appendage flopping uselessly on the ground. As the octopus continued speaking, she tuned it out to walk to the front. Nobody's eyes were on her as she crouched down and poked the thing.

Slimy.

The only thing Tomori heard was, "And good luck killing me before graduation, you're going to need it." The creature singsonged. "Firearms and government anti issue me BBs away please. Time to work."

Tomori sighed as she walked back to her seat and heard other people groaning.

...

Tomori leaned her head on her hands, tiredly facing the board. Grammar was such a bore, it wasn't like anyone in E-Class was going to need to use it for anything. 

The girl let out a yawn, twirling her purple gel pen in her fingers. Her notebook was completely blank as the octopus questioned different students. 

She already knew one type of grammar, Korean. Japanese and English grammar were fucking hard enough with her being a foreigner.

Tomori's blue eyes shifted to outside. Out in the sky was the crescent moon, the very same one that the freaking octopus destroyed. The girl scoffed under her breath, and jumped slightly when she heard a bang.

"Nakamura." The blonde was in a standing position after firing a bullet. "I distinctly remember saying no guns discharging in the classroom." Rio sheepishly rubbed her head. The octopus then sentenced her to the back of the room, telling her to reflect on her actions.

Tomori rolled her eyes, Rio wasn't a child. She probably wouldn't learn from it. Plus, they were assassins, they weren't exactly supposed to play fair. What other reason would they be in E-Class for.
