Queen's Gambit [ Assassination Classroom ]

Born into wealth but raised in solitude, Ayumi Hasegawa learned early that power wasn't about strength-it was about control. A mastermind behind the scenes, she dismantled the social hierarchy of her prestigious school with nothing but strategy and a well-placed whisper. But when her schemes exposed the wrong people, she found herself cast out, exiled to Kunugigaoka's infamous Class 3-E.

To outsiders, it was a fall from grace. To Ayumi, it was just another board to play on.

But Class E wasn't like the battlefield she knew. Here, facades cracked, manipulation wasn't always the answer, and for the first time, she wasn't the only predator in the game.

As assassins in training with a tentacled target, Ayumi must decide-will she keep playing the game, or is this the place where she finally lowers her guard?
