Deadly One

Chapter XXVII: Graduation Time

Suddenly she shivered. Emiko looked down and quickly took notice of how her cloak was managing to cover her. She quickly pulled the cloak over herself even more

Emiko Mizuki PoV

"Why am I dressed like this?" I questioned

I looked up and the boys quickly averted their eyes, including the bald perv but that's probably because he's scared of me. Well all of the boys except Itona. I glared harshly

"What're you staring at?"

"Decent"

"Hah?" I went to my hip to pull a dagger out, "Say that again. I'll gou-"

"C'mon now," I looked sideways at Strawberry as he took my cloak to cover me properly. "He even covered your face properly"

"I'd rather he covered my body first" I grumbled

Strawberry simply chuckled it off. As I glared at him, he handed me his jacket. I huffed and took it, slipping it on whilst still being covered by my cloak. I stifled a sigh, relinquishing the warmth he had left

Whilst I did this, Ryushi fell backwards

"Phew... I'm beat"

I slowly stood up, with the help of Strawberry of course. Then, Ryushi spoke

"Class, what kind of an assassin would let their dying target get escape?" I wanted to clench my jaw, but I was too drained of energy. "Don't you see? It's killing time" I stared at the floor, "Fun times... are bound to end. That's what a classroom's all about"

The swelling light of the laser told us eloquently, cruelly, that it was right on schedule. We had no time to hesitate

"Guys..." Everyone turned to face poverty prince, "We have to decide this ourselves. We could choose to stay out of this and leave it up to fate..." He looked around, "Show of hands: Who doesn't want to kill Koro-sensei?"

I watched as everyone slowly raised their hands. I bit my tongue and shoved my pride aside by lifting my hand a little, no energy remember?

"Okay, hands down. Who wants to kill him?" I sighed and raised my hand, "Mizuki?"

I glared at the ground, "He's like family to me--" I felt Karma tremble slightly. I looked up abruptly, "Which is why I want to kill him. I need-- no, I want to release him from the chains that he's been shackled to" As I said this. Nagisa rose his hand, then followed by Kayano, then Karma. Then everyone else in the E Class

"This is our answer" I spoke up, continuing Isogai's sentence, "We are killers. Our target is our sensei"

We were all painfully aware of what we had to do to our mentor. To my only family. For everyone to graduate with our bond still intact

Everyone crowded around him, grabbing his tentacles or any body part.

"You can't move like this, right, Koro-sensei?"

"Exactly so, Nakamura. I am worried about you weak grip though" Everyone pressed harder on the body part they were holding

Then, Kataoka spoke up. "Who's going to..." Everyone perked up at that, but not a word was said. That was only for a few moments though

"Please..." I turned around and saw Nagisa walking toward us, a blade in hand. "Mizuki," Nagisa handed me the knife, "It has to be you"

"We got no complaints" Terasaka spoke

"You're the head of the class, Mizuki" Karma smiled reassuringly

I stared at them for a moment before slowly putting my hand out, taking the blade. I walked to Ryushi and sat on his chest, I looked at him sadly
