This song is unrelated, I just think a song while reading is nice. This video was the first thing to pop in my head ok! just shuuushhhhh

Nagisa's POV

The class had an eerie atmosphere, it was just the second day of class and we all decided that when subject 2487 was taking attendance that we would all shoot him at the same time.

In a matter of time, the ground outside shook, signalling that he landed from wherever he had been, we could hear him slithering through the halls, everyone silently gulped, getting ready for what was to come.

The door opened, the devil disguised as an octopus arrived, putting down his book and greeting us with a-

"Alright people, let's get started, shall we? Class monitor, if you would do the honours?"

I was the class monitor for today, so I quickly responded with "Hai, ready-" and everyone stood, guns pointing at him "Aim... FIRE!" and everyone started shooting, he was dodging all the bullets by shuffling through 3 different spots.

I couldn't shoot those areas since it would be too suspicious if we had managed to hit him on the second day, annnnd that would ruin the fun. What fun? Well, unlike my other assignments, I got to tease and play with this one, why would I ruin such a great chance?

The octopus didn't care about our shoot-out and decided to take attendance while dodging. After taking attendance, everyone -but for me- was worn out, I had to act worn out while the class complained how these bullets wouldn't hurt anyone and he could just be taking the bullets in like a champ, and OH BOY were they wrong.

I really wanted to tell them off, but I couldn't since I had to act weak and unknowing, so subject 2487 decided to demonstrate how effective the bullets were "One of you, please lend me a loaded gun" as he asked a girl, who I could tell was a gymnast, gave him a loaded gun "As you know, these are anti-me BB's, ineffective to humans"

He then shot one of his tentacles, causing it to fly off "But very effective against me", the class was shocked as he re-grew his tentacle and continued with his lecture "I can re-generate myself, a courtesy you don't have if this was shot at your eye, so no more shooting in class, safety first~"

he gave the gun back as we sat down and continued with the day, he started writing on the board, I didn't bother paying attention as I already knew it all, I had to study with Shiro first, knowledge is an important tool in assassination, but eh, what can I say.

~a few minutes later~

Even with subject 2487's warning, a girl shot during class, when I looked at her to see who it was, I recognised Rio Nakamura, poor her, she was being lectured and sent to the back of the class, the octopus is really annoying.

I was taken out of my thoughts as the class bell rang "Oh! That is the lunch bell, excuse me while I pop by China to grab a bite. You have my number, any killer feeling trigger happy can hit me up" and with that said by none other than the octopus, he went flying out through the window and left us to our devices

A girl in our class stared mathing like this was important "Ok math, if he flies at the speed of M.A.C. 20-" she was stopped by me proving I was great at math "It would take 10 minutes for him to arrive at his favourite take-out place in Shangai"
(Thanks AtarahtheCrown for correcting my mistake!)

finally, a dumb guy asked a dumb question "Sooo, just to be clear, we definitely ruled out missiles as an option?" and this dumb guy was answered by a semi-smart guy "Are you kidding? Even if we had access to that kind of hardware, he can break the sound barrier!" and a girl continued with "While grading!"

"My homework even came back with a doodle on it" and people continued to complement and critic subject 2487 until someone ruined the mood with "Yea, kind of a shame, we get our grades up just in time for the world to end" another guy followed with "well college wasn't happening anyway"

'flying super-octopus bent on world destruction? Check. Semi-impossible target? Check. But he might damn be the best teacher any of us ever had, forget that everyone is a would-be assassin -other than me, I am a full-fledged assassin- and that most of the world probably see us an average garden-variety 3rd years.... at least on the surface, underneath it all though... Class 3-E has always been different'

"Yo Nagisa" I turn around to see Ryōma Terasaka with his two goons behind him "Look alive little one, it is time to put the money where our mouth is and get this done," he says as he points to the exit, I simply nod and follow him.

he starts asking me the different colours subject 2487's face changes into, as I started explaining in my weakling self, he cut me off saying "Blah, blah, whatever, we got more than enough. When his guard is down, that is when we make our move, well at least you do"

1. I was pissed he interrupted me, though I didn't show it and 2. I had to keep up my weak act, so I just responded with "Yea, about that I-" I was interrupted again!!! I soooo want to punch him in the face right about now, but I keep it hidden and acted weak "Don't start, we have been over this!! Worried about your trans-script, wake up dude, we are in 3-E!! Everyone expects us to be thugs and murderers anyway!" I wanted to grin right there since I am already a murderer, but I kept it inside and continued listening to him.

"You know what the "E" stands for right? End of the line, think they shuttle us up this mountain for the view? Sorry to burst you bubble little one, but society don't want us. When do nobodies like us have a shot at the kind of cash at stake here! This is our one-way ticket out of the boonies! No guts no glory, let this moment to shine! Man up, make a name for yourself huh!" he finally started leaving as his two goons said

"Best of luck!" "Try not to blow it!" I looked down at the grenade he gave me and acted like I was remembering something sad, cuz I have to keep the weak act and everything, and that is when I heard a weird noise and looked behind me to see subject 2487 landing behind me with a "Hello there, I'm back!" I just covered my face until the sand dispersed a bit "Ok, hi sir, so wha-what's with the missile?" he just responded with "A souvenir of a strike force who tried to take me down over the sea of japan" he said it like it was nothing "must be fun living the life in the cross-hares, reminds you of how amazing you are?" I asked since that is how I felt with my assassin side "Huh? How did you know? Normally someone like you would think this is lonely" 'crud, I nearly blew my cover' "Ah, um I just- uh, it is how I would feel in your shoes??" 'phew, saved it'

"If you say so, now then, inside for 5th period," he said as he left patting my head on the way, I just stood there, looked down, and responded with "Sure..."

'There's no denying it, he IS amazing, confidant, capable, powerful enough to make people stand up and take notice, even if they are trying to kill him, everything I am as an assassin, but I have to act like I am not. he is everything I have to hide, with the best of my capabilities, since I only have 1 chance. I can do this, I have an advantage'

'I am as invisible to him, as I am to everyone else'
