Assassination Club

by Tythen


Week 2 Tuesday: An Assassin's observation (N. Shiota)

Author's Note: SPOILERS once again. Nagisa muses about his past and the reasons on why came here. Those reasons are very much related to certain events that happened 3/4 within Assassination Classroom.

Nagisa's POV

When you're an assassin, you and your team always make sure you use everything you have to take your target down, and with a target that moves at Mach 20, you really have to make and use lots of opportunities. Otherwise, we'd never be able to save the world.

But it's been a long time since Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and how E-Class had parted ways with each other and Korosensei, At least that's what I thought. A long time after the internship, while still going well in the dysfunctional classes, it was a shocking discovery when our A.I friend Ritsu notified everyone about the sightings of tentacles around the streets of Equestria. We thought it was all going to be over with what happened with its creator and his experiments, we knew that it was an Equestrian team who was behind the cure, so it should have been obvious that there was a similar experiment happening on the other side of the world, but we were kids back then, and our only goal was to help our teacher, not to investigate the reason behind Equestria's findings.

We all knew the dangers it posed to the entire world, and the strife and pain when we fought against it. Our government learned the truth behind the experiment and the moon's destruction and had ceased everything about it with the promise to hunt down any form of undocumented experiments. Now it resurfaces, and it walks freely in another country. It's going to require lots of responsibility and check-up if this was going to be maintained for the better as Okuda and Takebayashi does, or whether it's going to be used for the worst and evil of its intentions. It was then we had to start a meeting, and who else but my best friend, Karma Akabane, who recently achieved an important position in the Political Party, to set it up?

The first phase of the mission was simple, simply go to Equestria one-by-one and carry on doing what all of us has been doing while investigating below the surface. Being a teacher, always wanting to be Korosensei, to help them shape people up individually and their future perspectives, I would have been the most innocent person to go first, which Karma pointed out to me. Naturally, Terasaka, Isaogai, everyone else began to join in selecting me as the first person to go. I'm completely fine with that, but come on, can we at least catch up with each other before going on a mission?

But there really was an opportunity. A job request for a fully-certified and experienced teacher to teach a re-established Language Department for one Canterlot High School all the way in Equestria, thank whoever's watching over us and the school, we both benefit greatly.

So that was that, I applied for the job, notified the class, then Rio Nakamura (who's all the way in Great Sprintain) threw tonnes of books and information on how to learn English quickly, and yeah, it worked well when the School accepted me. I guess teaching in our old Class 3-E Building will have to wait for a bit longer. But who knows? Working in a different country is definitely something new!

So I said my goodbyes to my former schools and students, to my classmates at the airport, Kayano (undercover) was very teary-eyed about it. But she's a well-known actress by now, even outside of Neighpon. I even heard she had the potential to reach Jollywood stardom, so she can visit me anytime. As I boarded the plane and felt it rising into the sky, I remembered the warnings regarding the 'cruel' attitude and culture of Western Societies by Nakamura, and I panicked hard and wondered whether I was going to have the worst time of my life. But... I remembered I had Korosensei as a teacher, and most of our students were definitely not what you call the kindest and easy-going people, but we still all care for one another or the rest of the world, especially me. So I continued panicking as the plane headed towards the land of freedom, with lots of mixed feelings.

But once I properly settled in with the School, I was quite happy, the students were definitely not what I think they were. For one, they weren't dysfunctional or delinquents... THEY'RE MUCH WORSE!

They may act nice and kind, but once away from the teacher's eye, they act like they own the school or they're king or queen, that sort of deceptive behaviour does worry or upset me quite a lot. I'd say they're almost like how E-Class was treated, only that they hide even more horrendous threats behind it. But I am a teacher, and my job is to help them achieve their self and perspectives, even if that person was going to become an important political being that's going to completely abolish or persecute a certain group of people, to which I'd highly oppose if they do... Oh Goddesses, I really shouldn't have said that.


It's Tuesday now, one week anniversary of the Special Tutorship Club. Yay! Why am I even celebrating!? It's so freaking hard to do things when you have this heavy cast on your shoulder that you have to put on your clothes, eat breakfast, all the things you need to do when you get up. I even can't ride my pedal-bike to school! But hey, I wanted a discharge, and I'm not backing down just because my schedule has been disrupted!

Walking to School, I've taken notice of that giant Unicorn Statue on a rather big pedestal with four arch-glass panes on each side in front of the entrances of Canterlot High School which I looked a lot into before flying to Equestria. It's the symbolism of a creature that rules over his or her subjects with fairness, justice, unity, and all very good and divine morals and virtues. That's also because this school's founders had different faiths and religions of the Four Goddesses that are said to have created this world, or rather the founders are completely diverse in religion/faith, culture, sex orientation, gender, disciplines, upbringings, socioeconomic statuses, ethnicity, everything that makes diversity(though I don't see a lot of 'ethnicity'). Though they may serve different Goddesses (or none at all) and sometimes do not agree with each other's virtues, they are able to combine those that bring benefit and light to the world, and do not support any sort of crime and dark act, even if one's act was supported by a certain religion, culture, etc.

One important thing though, is that this school of united faiths are open to every student and teacher, regardless of who they are and what and where they come from, not even an entrance exam, unlike Neighpon. The only judgement upon a student or teacher, are the actions on the school's morale, reputation and code, and they make sure that there is fair justice in this institute. This brought lots of National controversy around this land and there have been many protests behind it from various movements or groups, opposing certain things the school carries out. Me? I can't deny that they are a school that looks on the bright side no matter how much trash talk they receive, as not a single student of this school has ever breached or broken the law.

But as times change, and from what I see or hear from students, the students, as well as the teachers themselves, are beginning to lose almost everything: Piety, zeal, conscience, motivation, hope and confidence, any form of positive or constructive virtue, whether divine or worldly. When you read and discern people's state of minds, it breaks your heart when you see someone who's kind and respectful on the outside, but full of malice and vice on the inside, but I'm sure they have their reasons... Oh, wait... That's right, I know their reasons. To be fair though, that's what I also see in my previous school, what with being dysfunctional and having delinquents, it's just that they are also honest on the outside. Ah, don't worry, If they're going to threaten me with death or infuriate me in any way, I'll make sure to broaden their minds and choices once I'm through with them, Ha ha ha ha... Just diving into my own crazy bloodlust thoughts completely took my mind off where I was going and I bumped straight into the statue's stone pedestal, just avoiding the glass.

"Ouch..." I stumbled backwards, rubbing my bumped head. Oops, I still have that clumsiness within me, when will I ever fix that? Or you know what, I'm happy it still stays, some people enjoy having a humorous and clumsy teacher. Walking around the statue this time, I heard the sound of running, kicking, and turned to the left to see Canterlot High School's one and only Wonderbolts! Ah yes, they normally have early morning practice almost every day, lots of dedication and training to continue being the No.1 High School soccer team. Spitfire, the team's captain with the fiery red hair, was busy handling the drills and exercises for her fellow teammates, with the coach named Crescent right next to her. Another notable player is the bright blue-skinned girl with the most bewildering hair colour of Rainbow, hence known as Rainbow Dash. She's the Wonderbolt's star player... In-progress. Her skills on the field are no joke, but she's got a quite a lack in leadership and team support, ironic since Fluttershy calls her the representation of loyalty.

But... Where were the 'other two'? My question was answered when I looked to the far side of the field. Handling their own 'practice' away from the main team, Fleetfoot was observing the antics of Soarin, kicking a soccer ball as hard as he can straight directly to the goal posts.

"Hey, now you've got your accuracy down pat, all you need is to focus on your power!"

"Well, unlike aiming, figuring out the power is easier said than done! How are you supposed to kick hard?"

"Practice! Practice a lot!" Fleetfoot laughed. Huh, it looks like she's enjoying things, or rather happy that she's able to give tips. Hmm... I see, she seems to be exploring what she's able to do right now, seeing herself as an actual vice-captain with moral support and what not, or possibly be able to help her fellow teammates with academics, or maybe she would... Oh wow, that's a quick change of expression from joyful to envious, what's the deal? Estimating on where she's aiming her eye, I noticed her gazing towards one of the students, or rather Fluttershy to be specific. Strange for her to be arriving so early, maybe it's the animals? Oh, and probably what happened yesterday could be the reason for her jealousy...

Actually, the moment I said that I cast my eyes upon her chest when discerning her from top to bottom, and I just realised how big 'they' are... Oh dear, I hope that's not what Fleetfoot was also looking at... But more importantly, what is Soarin trying to do anyway? Normally you're supposed to kick the ball into the goal. I'd better note it down for later...


For today's topic, I am going to teach the classes on basic greetings in Neighponese, and I'm going to make sure it's fun for all to learn. As everyone begins pouring into the class, I checked out all who were present, then looked at those who didn't come in, and I expected as much since they didn't come for the past few days after the first one or two days.

"おはようございます!(Good Morning!)" I greeted the morning class with a warm smile, while the class looked at each other with confused looks and fearful words.

"What I said to you was Good Morning in Neighponese, now, what do you say back to someone who says Good Morning?" Many 'Oh's and 'Umm's came from the crowd until they finally got their bearing and returned the greetings.

"Good Morning Mr Shiota!" The class replied back in chorus.

"And that's what we're going to be learning today." I continued, "basic greetings in Neighponese. Like everywhere around the world, we have different ways of greeting others depending on the time of day. If there are three things that are similar to meaning, it's Good Morning, Hello, and Good Evening, Good Night and Good Bye." Taking a small rest interval for the others to absorb what's to know, I continue.

"Now, is anyone able to repeat what I just said?" I asked. A girl with curly hair, who I remember her name as Carrot Top, courageously stood up to repeat the word.

"Ohayooo... Gosaimasu?" She spoke,

"Not bad! Not bad!" I replied, "why not all of us go through it bit by bit? Now..." I wrote the romaji (English) words of Good Morning 'Ohayo', and then the Neighponese words below it.

"Ohayo, is the casual version of saying Good Morning, whether to friends or maybe family." I pointed out, "remember, pronounce 'hay' as 'hi'. Or if you want to be funny, it has the same pronunciation as 'Ohio'. A state of Equestria I believe?"

"Ohio--Oh!" A male student who I believe went by the name of Caramel tried it out, found the joke, and laughed. One by one, the students tried it themselves, and some smiled with delight while others laugh out loud at the pronunciation. Well, that was a pun that turned out quite well!

"Alright now, we've had our laughing fun, so let's continue on." I snapped back to seriousness, "now, in Neighponese when you want to be formal or smart-like, you add in the Gozaimasu at the end like..." I wrote down the Romaji and Neighponese words once more, "... So!"

The kids began tracing or trying to write down the words onto their notebooks and giving themselves a reminder of the translation.

"Now, as I've stated before, the formality of saying Good Morning is important when talking to various people. If you're talking to your higher-ups say your teacher, boss, principal, elders, anyone of importance, then you say 'Ohayo Gozaimasu'. That being said, if you want to be super nice, you can say that to someone you really adore. Otherwise speaking with friends, siblings, maybe your parents if they're lovingly casual, or if your boy/girlfriend doesn't mind, then you can just say 'Ohayo'. Now, quick test. In Neighponese, how would you say good morning to... The Principal?"

"Ohayo Gozaimasu!" The class answered, some with different pronunciations more than others.

"Good! How about... Your Best Friend?"

"Ohayo Gozaimasu!" A number of students replied,

"Ohayo!" A different number of students replied the class looked at each other with confused looks or looks of envy. Heh heh... Now I can see who's who in terms of personality.

"Don't get fussed up by how you say it all of you! Both are correct, you can use either! It just depends on whether the other person will like it. Like I said, if your parents or your close friends do not mind, then feel free to say the casual version to them." I spoke up before anyone started an argument. With one last glance of rivalry at each other, the group turned back to nod in understanding.

"Now continuing on, when it's High Noon, or somewhere in the afternoon, we say..." I wrote and drew the most general form of 'Hello', "...Konichiwa!"

"Kon-Itchy-Wa?" One of the students tried pronouncing it.

"Yeah! Pronunciation is key. Otherwise, it can delve into different meanings, and I'll explain that in future lessons." Nagisa replied, "but unlike 'Ohayo Gozaimasu', it disregards position, connection or hierarchy. 'Konichiwa' can be said to almost... Anyone!" I threw up my arms with enthusiastic joy.

"Bit enthusiastic there teach," Thunderlane complained. Oh! I almost forgot. Thunderlane attends the morning class!

"I'll take that as a compliment Thunderlane." I returned with another enthusiastic smile, "would you like me to do better?"

"You know what? Go for it." Thunderlane smiled back. Challenging the teacher huh? I may be kind and permissive, but let me show you that I'm still someone you shouldn't mess with!

I hatched out a plan and began approaching the student slowly... "Okay Thunderlane, say it after me. こにちわ!(Hello!)" Thunderlane stood up with a very cocky smile and replied back.

"Konichiwa!"

Aah... Perfect wording, but your tone and pronunciation? That needs work, time to say it again. But I'm etching even closer.

"Again! こ-に-ち-わ!(Hello!)"

"k-こにちわ?(Hello?)" He spoke again, this time confused, probably on why he had to say it again no doubt. But yes! He sounds great, he's got the way of saying it down pat. But that confusion at the end is not good! That calls for another round, and I've managed to be where I want to be!

"Very good Thunderlane!" I complimented once more, right next to his desk, chair and himself. "You've got pronunciation great! But the last there's one last thing."

"What is it teach?" Thunderlane looked at me with a 'are you serious?' Face.

"Enthusiasm!" I theatrically announced, my voice booming and echoing like a God. "Your expression! Can you tell yourself that you were speaking it in the form of a question?"

"Uhh..."

"Hey everyone! Could you tell that he was speaking it like a question?" I spoke to the class,

"Oh definitely!" Carrot Top replied,

"I noticed it too!" Spitfire laughed,

"That tone that is easily recognisable, regardless of language," Twilight answered. With all the shouts of agreement, Thunderlane gulped. Hey! That's what you get for messing with me!

"Okay then, one last time. But do it with a happy and joyful expression!" I beamed widely.

"Oh no, not at all Teach. I'll be sitt-"

"I placed a Thumbtack on your seat. Unless you want to feel the pain, I recommend you try one more time with enthusiasm." I interrupted with my bloodlust grin, right as I saw Thunderlane's butt paused in shock just above the sharp needle of said thumbtack. All at once, everyone noticed the sharp thing, and Thunderlane quickly shot up in the most worried of looks. Winning the crowd was a temporary first shot. What I actually wanted to do was get as close to his desk as possible, and sneakily place that thumbtack right on his seat. Knowing what we went through together on Thursday and Friday, he knows I wasn't bluffing.

With that, Thunderlane worked up a smile, and spoke, "こにちわ!(Hello!)" In the intended expression and enthusiasm I've wanted.

"Very good Thunderlane!" I applauded, removing that Thumbtack. "See? Enthusiasm is important in not just Neighpon, but everywhere you go and everyone you talk too! It makes you a very joyful and fun person to hang out with! Round of applause everyone! Please, I'm not being sarcastic, Thunderlane really did good!" In response, everyone clapped wildly for the Runner, and he can't help but force a little smile of humiliation.

"Now..." I walked back to my desk, "because of that Thunderlane, you deserve a really good treat and compensation for what I have done. I have a Neighponese-exclusive flavour of a well known Chocolate Wafer. But since you are the active type, would you like a Protein Bar instead?"

"Well..." Thunderlane wondered as he sat down, relieved that the thumbtack was no longer there. "It's just a small Wafer, so I'll take that."

"Sure thing!" I replied as I picked up the wrapped up choc wafer and tossed it across the room to Thunderlane, who caught it neatly.

"See everyone? Participation, whether voluntary or not, will always reap benefits! And it's okay if you don't know the answer or not, the class or I will be able to help you, and there's no need to feel humiliated when someone else knows it better than you. We're all here to help each other, and... I may provide free snacks. Would it be better than Canteen food?" Multiple murmurs went up again, this time with great interest.

"Righty-o! Now, let's continue going on. Finally, we'll be talking about 'Good Evening', which is--" I continued my usual routine of introducing words, then putting someone on the spot, giving them an exotic snack whenever they do it or not, and then it was time to set their homework for them.

"Now, I'd like for you guys as homework, is to write the words 20 times. Simple handwriting, no biggie. And one other thing. When addressing someone, you also need to involve their title. For a teacher or the principal, do you know what word you use?"

"I know this one," Thunderlane lazily raised his hand, "It's Sensei, right? Or how you pronounce it... せんせい?(Teacher?)"

"That's right Thunderlane!" Nagisa replied, "ha! I knew you've got it in you! Alrighty now..." I checked my handy watch, "the bell should go about 3... 2... 1!" And replacing zero, was the sound of the school bell, signalling the end of the period.

"Alright, everyone! See you tomorrow! We'll be going through honorifics and titles next!" I waved as the class departed the room, Thunderlane gave a shit-eating smirk at me before walking out the door. Heh, I'll be keeping that in mind.


The first half of Lunchtime and I'm about to help myself to this the 'canteen food'. Ever since that incident, my daily routine of buying the food to fill up my bento lunchboxes has been shot due to all that money flooding away for that arm, and Nurse Redheart right next to me, busy talking up and recording my current conditions. Milk... Mash Potatoes, Vegetables... I guess it's not so different from what I had in my lunches, also mostly made of veggies. Problem is though, all of them are heated up rather than room temperature. Placing a piece of mash potato into my mouth and tasting the contents... Hmm... Just what potato tastes like. It's definitely not as bad as what the students sometimes complain about, though I normally have my potatoes with curry sauce, this definitely isn't bad at all. maybe some seasoning into it next time. Quickly finishing my lunch and having finished going through Redheart's daily check-up, I decided to retreat into the Teacher's Lounge for some coffee. I figured it would help me for the rest of the day. As I was minding my own business, and quickly setting up for today's Club session, Professor Python decided to grace me with his presence!

"Mr Shiota?" The Maths Teacher spoke,

"Professor Python!" I turned around in greeting, "to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I well... I decided to fill in for lunchtime duty just to hear what the students say and well... They were mostly talking about you today. Most of the students had lots of fun in the Neighponese Class, and they were all enthralled by your prank against Thunderlane and his 'enthusiasm'."

"He's a cool guy, definitely," Nagisa replied,

"I'm starting to see your perspective here what with all those positive feedback. I guess numbers can only do so much to grab attention."

"Then why don't you think on the 'fun' side of things? Neighponese and Maths are two completely different subjects, but that doesn't mean they can't achieve the same level of fun! There are many interactive programs regarding maths on the internet, perhaps you can show them some?"

"Rather difficult you see..."

"Then why don't I help you? Just tell me how to sign up for Lunchtime Duty, and I'll see if I can perceive any rumours about you!"

"That would be very much appreciated, thanks for your help. All you just have to do is let the staff administrator know, and she'll set you a time and day."

"Oh and one more thing... Has there been any... Bad things about me?" I prompted,

"Well, there were times where students complained about you having this 'Killer's Eye' and being 'The Goddess' Angel of Death'. I guess you do have some sort of infamous streak in the gossip."

"Anything deeper?"

"Okay then..." Python sighed, "well... I've heard that people are comparing the heights of other teachers to you. Some even say that you match the height or are even below some of our students!"

"Interesting..."

"Also, I'm not sure if you'll get offended but..." Python continued, "they said that you had the traits and appearance of well... A girl." The moment I heard those words, I froze in fear. Uh-oh, please don't tell me they found out.

"And because of that," Python continued, "many people started claiming that you were... Well... A Homosexual?"

"Goddessdammit!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, shocking everyone in the room. Of all the things that had to rise back from the past to bite my butt, it was me mistaken for being a female. It was bad with Karma and Rio teasing me about that, now they think I swing that way!? After that shout, I remembered that I was in front of many others, and decided to fix the situation.

"Sorry about that!" I apologised, "I just um... Panicked."

"So is... Being called a girl common?" Python prompted,

"It was more prevalent when I was still in Junior High School," I explained, "and I thought it would die down now. Anyways, I've got to go in for my Tutor club. Later!" Without any other word, I grab my things and dashed straight for my classroom.


Arriving 5 minutes early before the second half, I just wanted to bang my head on the desk, liquefy and hide like Korosensei does, just... Argh! I can't believe even people from different countries would still mistake me for a girl. But wait... I'm an adult, so take deep easy breaths... Take it nice and slow...

"A-Are you okay Shiota-Sensei?" A soft voice of concern arose from the door. I turned to see Flitter and Cloudchaser standing at the open door.

"Oh! Flitter! Cloudchaser! Good to see you. Just... I don't know. Let's just say that having bad memories resurface is certainly impacting my maturity."

"Oh I see, is it because of the students talking about how you look like a girl and that you may or may not be gay?"

"The Homosexual tease is pretty new though." I repeated, "when I was in high school, everyone didn't really mind that I looked like a girl, though a few did like to tease me of my girlish appearances. They know I'm a guy, and they stick with it. Aside from that... I really should be used to it. Guess moving to a different country made me too complacent about my surroundings."

"So sir... Are you?"

"Well, let's just say I was forced to dress like a girl, and it did certainly get the attention of a guy until I told him that I was a guy myself. We're still friends though. So I'll leave that to you." I took another breath of relief, "anyway, you're quite early. You want to come to terms with where I come from right?"

"Well... Yeah, how do you know?" Cloudchaser asked,

"Skills and tricks of my high-school trade, the very same occupation that you want to clarify with me," I replied,

"Sir," Flash walked in,

"Afternoon Flash." I greeted without looking away.

"Of course," Flash replied as he sat in his normal seat at the front of the class. The two girls looked at their completely calm and collected classmate as he fiddled through his papers.

"If you're wondering, all the club members know." I explained, "that's why Fluttershy and Thunderlane were able to explain it to you yesterday."

"So uhh... Assassin... Is that true?"

"Oh yes, it is indeed." Nagisa replied, "and with what happened with your dear club-members, I'm afraid it's not going to sleep anytime soon! That being said, that assailant is behind bars and they're confident that he'll not bother us. In that way, It should be asleep."

"Your Serpent's Eyes?" Cloudchaser asked, "that's not being an assassin?"

"Used as a way to get students in line. Is that becoming too forceful now?"

"I think you've been on the internet too long to believe the words of whiny, idiotic, and precious students. A school is also a place for discipline, and you should know that Thunderlane lacks it entirely, at least not until now."

"Well in Neighpon, when you are someone who's disciplined or a delinquent, you mostly show it whole. Your attitude, looks, behaviour, maybe clothes. It's being honest, but on the other hand, it brings bad influences and it does pull school reputation down." I then remembered what I thought about Equestria as I walked to school, and decided to be honest "I find myself comparing my culture to yours in a very negative view, but even my own culture has their flaws in behaviour. I won't be looking too much at the big picture, and rather come to terms with every little detail that I come to. Every individual I meet as humans with souls."

"It seems you know the goods and bads of your own, so humble!" Flitter replied, "You really do have an aim when you call it the 'Special Tutorship Club'!"

"In this club, I am to focus on your personal skills and perspectives in body, mind, spirit, and emotions, while making sure that you are able to work in complete harmony with your fellow members." Nagisa replied, "On the other hand, expect me to be a very nosy teacher. After all, that's what my Korosensei is. That okay?"

"You know what?" Cloudchaser decided, "You're doing a pretty damn good job in teaching rather than being an assassin."

"I've spent a lot of my years in training to be a teacher, and just one year in High School of being trained as an assassin. It just so happens that the High School is quite a memorable, sentimental and meaningful milestone in my life, plus I really don't want my students to set that as an example..."

"Sir," Flash spoke up, prying up a purposely loose floorboard, revealing a firm box with a lock. Giving it a little shake, he turned his eyes back to me, "Don't you think stashing weapons around the class is a bit risky? Especially when you've got an air shotgun."

"You can tell it's a shotgun?"

"I've used air guns before, Military Camp." Flash replied, "I can tell by the weight, even when it's in a box."

"Uhh..." The girls awkwardly stared at him,

"Oh, my bad." Flash realised what happened and quickly placed it back in the floor compartment. "Sorry about that girls, I forgot that Fluttershy mentioned the knives only, not the firearms."

"You want me to take that back, sir?" Cloudchaser asked me with suspicion, "It's as if you've turned the entire classroom into your weapons cache for evacuation and protection."

"Like I said, I'm a teacher," I sighed, "no one's interested in painting a target on me, and all that I've trained to be an assassin, was just one target wanted by the entire world because of the destruction it could bring. You know the story by now."

"Then ask me honestly, how many weapons did you stash around the area?" Flitter asked,

I sighed, wondering if I'm going to regret this mistake, then admitted the truth, "I have a box of air-pistols and knives, the shotgun, two sub-machine guns, and a semi-automatic rifle. Every day, I shuffle their positions, and I try to make sure they're not in the same place as before."

"Couldn't you just leave them all at home?" Cloudchaser suggested,

"I do, but it's a far way away to get there and back if let's say... A lockdown happens."

"If that's the case, however, wouldn't air-guns be totally moot against a criminal holding a real gun?" Flash interrupted,

"It's not just the gun itself. When placed in the right hands, it can be as lethal." Chuckling as I sort of quoted,

"Hmm..." Cloudchaser looked at me with further suspicion.

"Oh come on, I'll hide the weapons better next time." I bargained, "I'll give you Popsicles!"

"Oh don't worry!" Cloudchaser laughed, "we won't tell anyone! You've been speaking the truth for a lot of times. We're just interested is all."

"Then email me all the questions that you have. I'll try and answer them by reply." Nagisa replied,

"Nah, I'm convinced." Cloudchaser comforted, "honestly, I think a kind, clumsy guy like you having a dangerous inside is kind of awesome."

"What happens in the club stays in the club." I replied, "got that Flash?"

"Yes sir," He gave a mock salute,

"Alrighty then, if you've nothing else. I suggest you get prepared for today's session." I answered. With a nod and smile, the girls went to their seats, and a few minutes later, the rest of the members poured in. Club Session, aside from the talk with Cloudchaser and Flitter, seemed to went calm and collected for once as they did their work and assisted them when necessary.


The second half of my class went just as normal. Besides giving a few students the 'killer's gaze' because of misconduct whether lazy or offensive towards others, everyone was very interested in going through the language. What comes off as surprising is that Fluttershy is beginning to sound more like a natural Neighponese with her language. I'm quite impressed! And Rainbow's not doing so bad either... Heh, that's some smug grin of hers against those who I finished glaring through.

As class ended, I had some free time in my office before school fully closed. I took the time to sign up for lunchtime duty on Friday, and set up an email for the Club to notify them of what's going to happen tomorrow and especially Thursday, remembering my promise regarding Assassination 101.


And finally, I decided to call it a day, not before giving the weapons an extra shuffle around the room. As I trot back, I took notice of the Statue and Pedestal once again. I was corrected by a teacher that this was supposed to be an Alicorn pony that is known as the Wondercolts statue: A combination of the three different types of Ponies of Unicorns, Pegasi and just Earth Ponies, that said to have existed under this majestic being's rule.

Funny, A unicorn from where I am is said to have donned both horn and wings, while a unicorn here just has the horn. I guess this was a pony they were talking about. As I walk closer, I focused on the giant-arch mirrors on each side of the pedestal. I've heard plenty of rumours and the incidents behind it. During the last Friendship Games, it is said that a candidate of an opposing school destroyed the statue, seemingly releasing a vein of magic and transforming that student into an elegant if not scary being that would have contained a power of an Alicorn, which is really powerful they said.

However, one of the students there also gained that sort of power not from the statue, but her friends instead, and was able to convince and introduce her to what it means to have friends. Because of that, she calmed down, and the magic power that was said to have been stolen had renewed the statue and the pedestal's power. Then, the candidate changed to CHS and became an important friend ever since. Months later, after a giant CHS outing, the Wondercolt statue has been rebuilt, and things regarding it has been peaceful.

But originally, it is also noted that the magic there was not just for the taking. The magic was able to harness a portal that leads to an alternate dimension of Ponies. Now, someone EMERGED from those mirrors, where that same girl claimed to be a pony from another dimension, and was said to be the one that saved the school from the first two incidents where it involved another student, and three girls unrelated to the school that were said to be 'sirens'. Flash told me that this girl from another world shared the exact same NAME and LOOK of the girl that was responsible for destroying the statue.

Now, information like this never spread out of the school, whether it's to the point of disbelief, or that such secrets of magic should stay secret and a mystery, but information comes frightfully easy when you can read your interviewee like a book through discernment. Fluttershy and her friends, they are the ones who've solved the incidents with the pony from another dimension. I've each taken a piece from their refusal of secret sharing and combined it together, they haven't confirmed my story, nor do I think they will. So, I'm just going to find it out for myself, is this really a portal to an alternate dimension of Ponies? Is there Neighpon in their land? Is there really a pony counterpart of everyone here in this school? Is there a pony counterpart of... Me?

Without thinking too much, I raised my hand, gently straightened it towards the mirror, and touched its surface. A mysterious energy made my entire hand tingle, fizz up, get very numb. Wow! It doesn't feel like a portal, but there is definitely some energy within this mirror! Only when I looked at what I'm doing, did I just notice, my entire hand inside the mirror, a bright beam of light eager to get out from the sides of my hand. A yelp shot out of my mouth as I quickly retracted my arm, yanking my palm and fingers away from the mirror, the white light completely blocked away once I removed it.

The first thing to do, I looked at my hand and moved its muscles to see if there was any problem. They felt normal, unhurt, it was just the sensation that came when I stuck in my hand and gone the moment I took it out. I looked around to see if anyone was watching, but a girl with the hair of red and yellow, Sunset Shimmer I believe, walking out of the school gates minding her own business. Phew! No one was watching. Trying it again, I quickly placed my hand on it this time, but unlike before, my fingers bend against the hard cold surface of the mirror, the light that was once there now gone.

I decided to call it a day and head back home, I've learnt enough new things today. Now, I've got to focus on tomorrow's homework and treats. But that mirror though? I can't shake the feeling that what I felt is completely out of this world, even more than Korosensei.

Then, on the other hand, I really did enjoy canteen food, it's definitely better than resorting to Deep-Fried Tissues...

But despite enjoying Teaching Life every weekday, I still can't shake the worry on whether my mission regarding the tentacles will turn out well. Whether I'm going to get in trouble with Equestria, and possibly strain non-existent relations between us.

Not to worry though, there is a last resort to this mission, if all goes wrong and we call it quits, we've got one more trick to warn the entire world once and for all.
