Koro-Sensei hummed cheerfully as he walked down the school halls.

"My~as usual, today, I will be gazed at with eyes of affection~!"

He opened the classroom door and blinked in shock; the students had eyes filled with...

"....DISGUST!? NYGUOH!?"

Tsuna smiled tentatively at the octopus as he limped towards him with a newspaper in hand; the brunet didn't need to use a crutch anymore.

"Maa....you need to look at this."

Koro-Sensei quickly accepted the paper and read over it.

.....The newspaper described....a pervert that has been stealing undergarments--women's to be more exact--while chuckling 'nurufufu'....

Koro-Sensei looked at the paper, and then the students. He looked at the paper, and then the students.

"This is totally you, Koro-Sensei."

"Honestly I'm disappointed."

"How could you do this?"

Koro-Sensei turned slightly blue with panic at the disgusted and disappointed glares directed at him.

"Nyah! You can't seriously think it's me! I wouldn't do things like that!"

Rinka frowned.

"Then what's your alibi?"

Koro-Sensei blinked owlishly.

"Eh? Alibi?"

"Late last night, when the incident occurred, where were you, and what were you doing?"

Koro-Sensei tilted his head slightly in thought.

"Well....I was around some french fries while moving up and down between the heights of 10,000 miles and 30,000 miles."

(O.D.D.- McDonald's offers Shakin' Fries in some countries. They're really good by the way. ♪( '▽｀))

"WHO THE HE** CAN CONFIRM THAT!?"

While the students were still accusing Koro-Sensei, Tsuna was rubbing a palm into the side of his head; it was pounding slightly.

'....Something or someone's going to make an appearance soon.....'

~~

....Lost of undergarments were found around the school, but the students found it suspicious on how easily they were found.

They soon came up with the plan of finding the true culprit.

Tsuna decided to tag along with Hayato watching over him.

~~
//(Nighttime)//

The group used freerunning and scaled the wall of a resident house.

Yuzuki smiled as she placed a hand under her chin.

"Fufu~nearly adult in mind and body, the great detective is here~"

Nagisa sweatdropped on the side, tugging slightly at the black coat he was wearing along with the others.

"All we did was use freerunning to break into a residence..."

Everyone then shuffled to hide in the bushes.

Ryoma turned to look at Yuzuki.

"So, Fuwa, what made you think that the culprit will strike here tonight?"

Yuzuki made a sheepish smile.

"Well, this is a training facility for certain female performance pros--it's kinda like a camping area for them. I'm positive the culprit won't let a chance like this to slip away to get the ultimate underwear."

Tsuna sweatdropped at how blunt she was, and Hayato rubbed a hand over his face, sighing tiredly.

(O.D.D.- By the way, the future Hayato-san acts a little like Fon-san. Hayato-san can be very calm in most situations; he doesn't get angry as easily--only irritated and exasperated. He still has his ever present scowl though, but it turns into a gentle smile around Tsunayoshi-san. (*^_^*))

They all then spotted Koro-Sensei, who looked rather....creepy...

They whispered to each other.

"What the....was Koro-Sensei thinking the same thing?"

"No...no matter how you look at it, he looks like he's trying to steal something."

"Look, he's even looking more excited at the the underwear than being mad at the culprit!"

"I can't help but see him as the real culprit!"

Karma then perked up slightly.

"Hey, the wall over there--look."

They all did so.

"Someone's coming."

A figure dressed in black leapt over the wall.

The man quickly darted over the grassy area and snagged a few underwear; the students noted that the culprit was wearing a yellow helmet that had Koro-Sensei's grin.

'A big man with a yellow helmet!'

Suddenly, Koro-Sensei appeared and shoved the true culprit to the ground, pinning him down.

"You really made a fool of me, haven't you!? NURUFUFUFU! Show your face, imposter!"

Koro-Sensei tugged the helmet off revealing.....a Government Agent? He was one of Karasuma's colleagues and subordinates.

Kaede seemed to recognize the person too.

"Eto...I think his name was...Tsuruta-san."

Koro-Sensei stared at Tsuruta with confusion and shock.

"Why....are you doing this?"

Suddenly the hanging racks extended upwards; white sheets surrounded Koro-Sensei. The octopus was boxed in.

"I had him lure you into this cage of Anti-Sensei matter."

Tsuna felt his flames stir slightly in anger; the brunet's eyes narrowed into slits.

'Shiro....'

The said man stepped out of a few bushes as Tsuruta wiggled out from under the Anti-Sensei matter cage. Shiro continued to speak.

"He had a debt to his country, so I borrowed Karasuma-Sensei's subordinate."

Shiro's shoulders shook slightly as he chuckled.

"Fufu~it's the same method your students used on that summer vacation island. Before hitting you, we surround you."

Tsuna widened his eyes slightly.

''We'......that means--!'

The brunet lifted his gaze.

'....Horibe-kun....'

Itona had the same outfit on, but his tentacles looked a lot more lethal. Blades covered the entire tentacle--all the way to the tip. The white-haired teen was also holding a short, Anti-Sensei blade.

Shiro chuckled once more.

"Now, Koro-Sensei, shall we begin the final deathmatch?"

Itona quickly went into a flurry of attacks with his newly equipped tentacles; the students then decided to come out of their hiding spot.

Ryoma growled at Shiro as he stepped away from the bushes.

"You b*****d. This is all of your doing, isn't it!?"

Shiro was unfazed by the insult as he turned to the teen.

"Of course. All of this was just a ruse to lure the octopus in. As you can see, Itona-kun is now equipped with Anti-Sensei gloves and blades. Killing the d*** monster will be simple."

Swish!

Shiro widened his eyes as he tilted his head to the side to dodge...a pen?

The object pierced the stone wall behind him and simply stayed there; Shiro darted his gaze to the attacker.

"Oh.....why, konbanwa, Sawada-kun. You look quite livid."

The brunet had no expression present, but his eyes were burning fiercely under the shadow of his fedora.

"Shiro......do you realize...that you're experimenting on a child to do your dirty work?"

Shiro then closed his eyes into an eye-smile.

Bang!

Hayato's hand whipped through the air and caught the bullet that could've hit Tsuna's forehead with his middle and index finger.

Shiro was holding a gun; the tip was smoking from the recent discharge of the pistol.

"Hm~nice reactions."

Hayato narrowed his eyes; everyone could've sworn that a glint of red appeared in his emerald-green eyes.

"....Do you have a death wish?"

Shiro merely eye-smiled once more as he tossed his pistol to the side.

"Not at all. But....Sawada-kun....I see him as a threat to this assassination."

Tsuna remained unflinching--even when the bullet was fired at him.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light from the small pillar of Anti-Sensei sheets; everyone could distinctly hear Koro-Sensei's voice.

"...Through my experience from the Ultimate Defense Form during summer vacation...I have also learned a new technique. Rather than my entire body, I compress just a part of my tentacles....it's a method to produce energy."

The light grew brighter, and the wind started to whip around the area; Shiro stepped back slightly.

"What...is this...?"

Everyone could hear Koro-Sensei chuckle lightly.

"Nurufufu~remember this, Itona-kun. For Sensei, assassination is like education. The Sensei of the assassination classroom....becomes stronger as he teaches."

Booooom!

The Anti-Sensei cage was blasted away, and Itona was sent flying up into the air; his Anti-Sensei parts crumbled to pieces.

The teen gritted his teeth as his eyes drooped slightly.

'Why...? I....should've...been stronger.'

As Itona fell back to the ground below, Koro-Sensei quickly caught him and lowered the teen to the ground gently.

The octopus then turned to face Shiro.

"There you have it, Shiro-san. This sort of surprise attack won't work on me anymore. Leave him with Class E and step away quietly. Also, please spread the correct information that I'm not an underwear thief."

Shiro kept silent; his eyes glinted ominously.

"Aaagh!"

Everyone whipped their heads to voice; Tsuba widened his eyes with worry when he saw that it was Itona, who was clutching his head with his hands.

"It...it hurts...it hurts. My head hurts. My brain's gonna tear open...!"

Shiro sighed.

"I guess the tentacles have begun to eat at your mid from the shock of your constant losses."

He crossed his arms as he looked to the side.

"So this is the child's limit. It seems he can't even carry out my strategies of this level."

Shiro sighed once more before looking back at Itona.

"Itona, maintaining your tentacles in sound health for one month requires the energy of three thermal power plants. If you can't produce better results, the organization will stop paying."

He turned on his heel and started to walk away from the teen.

"It's not like I don't have any feelings for you, but in order to make use of the next model....I have to give up on you at some point."

The white-clad man started to walk away.

"This is goodbye, Itona. You're on your own now."

Tsuna's temper nearly snapped, but he didn't wish to cause a scene; Koro-Sensei narrowed his gaze at Shiro.

"Wait! And you call yourself a guardia--?!"

Shiro cut him off.

"Quit playing educator, monster. All you're capable of is destroying everything."

He turned his head slightly to look at Koro-Sensei.

"I won't forgive you. Your existence...it doesn't matter the sacrifice. All I want is a result with your death."

The man then disappeared over the wall.

"More importantly, is it alright to leave your students alone?"

Koro-Sensei snapped to attention and quickly darted in front of the students, blocking a blow from Itona's tentacles.

The white-haired teen suddenly dashed away from the group, leaping over the wall and disappearing into the night while clutching his head.

Tsuna widened his eyes with shock and quickly ran after the teen; he glanced briefly back at the group.

"Hayato! Stay with the group. Even if I might not come back, I want you to stay with them!"

Hayato stepped forward slightly, wanting to chase after the brunet before gritting his teeth.

'D*** it, Tsuna-sama.'

The silveret then turned to the group of students.

"...I have my orders. Let's all head home for tonight, okay?"

//(A Day Passes By)//
<<(With Tsuna)>>

Plip...plip..plip, plip.

The brunet blinked in surprise.

'It's starting to rain...'

It was nighttime once again.

Tsuna was trying to find Itona, but he had no luck during the first night--even with his Hyper Intuition.

Tsuna tsked and started to run faster, using his Hyper Intuition once more.

The rain started to come down harder.

The brunet unbuttoned his suit top and used it to cover his head.

His Intuition then caused him to look to the left, into a dark alley.

Tsuna slowly turned; he heard soft panting.

"I lost....can't lose...win...always win......"

The brunet's gaze softened.

He slowly stepped towards the small figure in the alley, splashing in a few puddles along the way.

00(??? POV)00

Win, win, win, win, I lost, I lost, I lost, pain, it hurts, rain, rain, rain.......stopped.

I looked up.

A suit top, shielding me.

I see who's holding it.

Familiar, warm eyes.

It's him.

He smiled tentatively at me.

"Hey, Horibe-kun. You'll catch a cold out here."

00(End of Itona's POV)00

"......"

Itona didn't respond, still clutching his head as he looked at Tsuna through a haze of pain.

The brunet bent down, still keeping his suit top over Itona's head.

"Everyone's worried."

The teen narrowed his gaze and grit his teeth.

"What....What would you know!? Why would they care for me!? I....I.....I hurt them....."

Itona looked at the ground; his anger died out slightly.

Tsuna cocked his head slightly, not minding the fact that he was getting soaked by the rain.

Suddenly, the brunet chuckled; Itona narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What's so.....funny? Are you....mocking me?"

Tsuna shook his head, still smiling.

"It's just....I met you like this, didn't I? It was raining, and well....I said, 'you'll catch a cold'."

Itona blinked....and blinked again.

He could remember only a bit....but....he forgot.

The teen blinked in surprise.

'Who....is this weakling?' "Who are you?"

Tsuna softened his gaze before smiling lopsidedly.

'So he's forgotten...' "Ah. My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. I'm your home economics teacher."

Itona blinked.

"Sa...wada....Tsuna...yoshi?"

Tsuna grinned brightly.

"Yep!"

Suddenly, Itona's pupils shrunk and he clutched his head tighter.

"Agh.....argh!"

Tsuna jumped slightly and gently touched the shoulders lightly.

"Hori--."

"I DON'T NEED YOUR SYMPATHY!"

Itona shoved Tsuna away before dashing off in a random direction.

Tsuna regained his balance easily before wincing.

He looked down at his chest and saw that a red patch was slowly forming.

'D*** it. Even though I can walk now, my wound still hasn't healed completely. I was careless, and now it's reopened.'

Tsuna coughed and staggered slightly before breaking into a sprint.

"Horibe-kun! Wait!"

After a few twists and turns, Tsuna heard a loud crash.

The brunet turned on one last corner and widened his eyes with surprise.

Itona had destroyed a shop.

The brunet bit his lip briefly before slowly approaching the teen.

Itona whipped his head around and glared fiercely at Tsuna.

The Decimo merely raised his hands his hands in a placating gesture.

Suddenly, a new voice was heard.

"Finally, I get to see a human-like face, Itona-kun."

Tsuna turned his head and found Koro-Sensei standing there along with the other students; Itona grit his teeth.

"Brother...."

Koro-Sensei continued to grin.

"Please, call me Koro-Sensei. I am your homeroom teacher."

Ryoma dug a pinky into his ear.

"Oi, don't go rampaging because you're sulking, Itona."

The delinquent jabbed a finger at the teen.

"You've put us through all sorts of stuff. But we'll consider it as water under the bridge, so just some quietly with us."

Itona staggered slightly, tentacles lashing weakly at his sides.

"Shut up.....let's fight....this time...I'll win...."

Koro-Sensei merely chuckled.

"Nurufufufu~of course, I don't mind fighting--we're both bodies of a national secret--but why don't we do this in a more vacant area?"

He then held up a shishkabob, holding, cooked meat and veggies.

"And~after that, we'll have a barbecue in that vacant area, while we all study a way to kill Sensei~"

Itona blinked blearily, confusion present.

Karma smirked slightly.

"That octopus is persistent. Once he becomes your homeroom teacher, he'd go to the end ps of he** to teach you."

Koro-Sensei's grin widened.

"Of course......because, when a student stands before you, it is a teacher's instinct to wish to teach them."

Itona widened his eyes with shock before looking past the octopus to look at Tsuna.

The teen finally noticed the slight bags under the brunet's eyes.

'....Did he stay up the entire night searching for me?'

Suddenly, two grenades popped into the scene.

Poof!

Smoke filled the area...no, powder.

Koro-Sensei started to melt slightly around the edges--so did Itona's tentacles.

The octopus widened his eyes in realization.

'This is...Anti-Sensei powder!'

Tsuna snapped his head to the right and a truck suddenly appeared.

Bullets were shot at Koro-Sensei to distract him.

A net was shot out and caught Itona in it.

Shiro's head popped out and he eye-smiled.

"You'll follow us, won't you, Homeroom Teacher-san~?"

He then noticed that Tsuna was standing in front of the truck; Shiro narrowed his gaze slightly before turning to the driver.

"Run him over."

The truck quickly started up again and sped towards Tsuna.

The brunet scoffed and easily jumped and stepped onto the hood before kicking the man arming the net-gun off of the truck.

Tsuna flicked his wrist and a xacto knife appeared in his hand; he started cutting a bit of the ropes, but another of Shiro's subordinates whacked the brunet in his already-injured chest with his Anti-Sensei rifle.

The brunet grit his teeth.

'Okay, that one hurt a bit.'

Bang, bang!

Tsuna whipped his hand up and caught two bullets between his middle and index finger.

'Sh**! I don't have time for this! And where the he** is this truck going!?'

The brunet glanced behind himself to see Itona get dragged rather cruelly along the ground as the truck continued to speed down the roads.

Suddenly, the truck came to an abrupt halt.

Tsuna then took the chance to grab the subordinate by the front of his jacket, slamming an elbow into his face.

The man was knocked out instantly.

Tsuna then hopped off of the truck, dashing over to Itona.

Koro-Sensei also appeared at Itona's side; the octopus touched the rope, but he found that his tentacles melted slightly.

"Nyah!? Anti-Sensei material?"

"That's right."

Shiro stepped out of the truck.

Suddenly, lights lit the area up.

Tsuna narrowed his gaze when he spotted snipers on the side.

Shiro raised his hand in the air.

"Fire. Your target is Itona and Sawada."

Gunshots filled the air.

Koro-Sensei couldn't move easily under the light, but he managed to protect Tsuna and Itona.

The brunet worked on Itona's net while throwing pebbles at the snipers, knocking a few of them out.

Itona opened his eyes blearily and looked up at Tsuna.

"You....again......"

Tsuna smiled slightly despite the situation, catching a bullet before continuing to work on Itona's ropes.

"Not the best time for it but, how are you?"

"I feel....like sh**."

Tsuna sweatdropped.

"Well....that's an...honest answer..."

Suddenly, the Class E students came flying in, knocking the snipers down.

Itona blinked in surprise.

"You guys....why...?"

Rinka landed on the ground, back facing him.

"Don't get the wrong idea.....we were just pissed off at that Shiro-guy. And if Koro-Sensei didn't leave, we would've just left you alone."

Itona blinked owlishly, and Tsuna sweatdropped.

Koro-Sensei then destroyed the net gun, and the students assisted Tsuna in getting the net off of Itona.

The octopus then pointed a tentacle at Shiro, who was stunned at these new events.

"Leave, Shiro-san. We will be taking Itona-kun. You always work out these meticulous plans, but...if you involve these students, those plans come down to nothing. It would be better if you quickly realize the obvious."

Silence filled the air.

Shiro scoffed.

"A class where house flies surround a monster? How annoying. But surely, I will admit that there is a need for me to redo the fundamentals of my plans."

He climbed into the truck and his remaining men started it up.

"Either way, Itona will die in two to three days. Play nice with each other~"

Shiro drove away into the night.

Tsuna pulled the last of the ropes from Itona and looked down at the teen with concern.

~~

"....And that's what happened to Itona. His parents abandoned him, and well....that's it..."

The students looked at the ground worriedly; Tsuna placed a palm onto Itona's forehead.

Koro-Sensei sighed.

"I can't remove the tentacles forcefully. He needs to let go of his will for 'victory'....."

Ryoma then walked forwards.

"Keh. Then just leave him to us. If he dies, he dies."

Ryoma hoist Itona to his feet.

Tsuna steadied Itona, but before the brunet could step away, the white-haired teen kept a tight grip on his sleeve.

The Decimo blinked and floundered slightly.

"E-Eh.......you need to go with Ryoma-kun...."

Itona simply kept a tight grip on Tsuna.

Ryoma twitched before sighing tiredly.

"Gah. Whatever. Just come with us for now, Tsuna-Sensei."

With that, Ryoma's gang, Tsuna and the white-haired teen walked away.

~~

Apparently....Ryoma's gang had nothing planned.

Tsuna sweatdropped as the group dragged Itona around.

While the group started to discuss a plan, Tsuna noted how Itona staggered a lot.

Itona blinked his eyes blearily, struggling to keep them open.

And then he was suddenly lifted up from the ground.

Tsuna stood behind Itona, lifting the teen up by the armpits.

The brunet smiled gently.

"Would you like a ride?"

Itona craned his head back slightly.

"N--"

"Haha, you know what? I'm not going to ask."

Tsuna hefted Itona onto his back, and the teen reflexively wrapped his arms around the brunet's neck.

The Decimo craned his head back slightly to look at Itona, smiling brightly.

"Better?"

Itona didn't respond, but he blushed.

"I don't need your pity, weakling."

Tsuna laughed.

"It's not pity. I'm just helping."

Everyone--the rest of Class E was stalking the group--gaped at the brunet; Koro-Sensei grinned widely.

"You're weird."

~~

In the end, Ryoma was able to talk some sense into Itona.

His eyes were finally calm--like the times Tsuna used his Sky flames on him.

Koro-Sensei was able to remove the tentacles safely.

~~
//(The Next Day)//

"Morning, Itona!"

"How are ya', Horibe?"

The said teen stepped through the doors; Koro-Sensei grinned brightly.

"Ohaiyo gozaimasu, Itona-kun. How are you feeling?"

Itona tugged lightly at the bandana around his forehead.

"Like cr**...because I lost my power. But...I don't feel like I've become weak."

Itona kept a blank expression as he jabbed a finger at Koro-Sensei.

"I'll kill you in the end...Koro-Sensei."

The octopus merely chuckled in response as Itona walked away from him.

The teen then stopped before Tsuna, who was looking through a box of papers.

The brunet noticed Itona and smiled brightly.

"Ohaiyo, Horibe-kun."

The teen blinked before slowly blushing.

"......A...Arigatou.....for....staying by my side...."

Tsuna grinned.

"No problem."

Itona then opened his mouth once again.

".....-san......"

Tsuna lifted a confused eyebrow.

"What? Can you please repeat that?"

Itona took a soft breath.

".....N-Nii-san. I'm....gonna call you...N-Nii-san..."

Tsuna froze--as did the class as they gaped at the two.

Slowly, the brunet blushed, hard.

"Hahaohreallywhythankyouohmygoodnesshahaha...."

Tsuna became a mumbling, blushing mess; the students looked at him with surprise.

'Woah, he's really flustered....'

The brunet got out of his seat and curled up into a ball, hands covering his beet-red face.

~~
<<(Italy)>>

Black eyes slowly opened, staring into yellow ones.

Lovro blinked in confusion.

'......A lizard....?'

"Sveglio?" (Awake?)

Lovro jolted slightly before grunting in pain; the unfamiliar voice continued to speak.

"Non vorrei passare ora. Si è ricevuto un proiettile al torace, uomo vecchio." (I wouldn't move now. You received a bullet to the chest, old man.)

The hitman dealer narrowed his gaze when a figure walked towards him; Lovro noticed that he was in a...hotel room?

The lizard on his chest hopped off and onto the stranger's hand.

"Chaos."

The lights were turned on.

Lovro blinked in surprise as the sharply dressed ravenet before him; the lizard crawled up the stranger's arm and rested on his shoulder.

Onyx eyes blinked.

"Così....posso avere un name?" (So....can I have a name?)

Lovro narrowed his eyes.

"........Lovro."

The ravenet blinked before nodding, humming thoughtfully.

"Lovro.......hey, puoi parlare Giapponese?" (Lovro.......hey, can you speak Japanese?)

The hitman dealer blinked in confusion before nodding.

The ravenet across from his sighed.

"Goodie. I just don't want anyone to eavesdrop on us."

Lovro sat up on the bed he was on.

"Where am I?"

The younger man huffed.

"Just a random hotel."

He stood up and walked to the window, shifting the curtains slightly to look out.

"......Anyways......you can call me...Reboyama."

Lovro raised an eyebrow at the peculiar name, but he didn't comment on it.

'Reboyama' then turned to look at Lovro.

"So, Lovro how did you end up like that?"

The ravenet gestured to Lovro's bandages.

"How'd ya' get shot?"

Lovro studied 'Reboyama'.

'........He doesn't look like the type to spread secrets...nor does he look like a civilian.' "....An assassin came after me. 'The God of Death'. The greatest hitman I know."

'Reboyama' twitched, but he didn't show any emotion.

"....You some sort of important person? To have such a...great hitman coming after you."

Lovro narrowed his gaze.

"....I suspect...that he has a target in Japan--I must have been someone in his way." 'Maybe it would be best to alert Karasuma....'

'Reboyama' hummed thoughtfully.

"Really? How interesting....."

The stranger then sat down on one of the chairs in the hotel room; Lovro gazed at 'Reboyama', causing the younger man to look at him.

"What's up, Lovro? Do I have something on my face?"

Lovro shook his head.

"Despite your more serious and aloof character, you remind me...of a boy I met in Japan."

'Reboyama' tilted his head slightly, running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah? Who's that?"

"A young brunet, Tsunayoshi."

'Reboyama' froze.

".....'Tsunayoshi'.....any last name?"

Lovro narrowed his gaze.

"From what I can tell--you're a hitman. You don't plan on hurting this boy, do you?"

'Reboyama' shrugged.

"Depends."

Lovro felt no evil intent.

".....Sawada."

'Reboyama' grew silent...before chuckles started to fill the room.

"Fufu......I found him."

Lovro felt slight apprehension, but he looked at 'Reboyama' with curiosity

"Tsunayoshi-kun? Who is he to you?"

'Reboyama' smirked.

"Il mio stupido figlio." (My stupid son.)

~~
<<(Japan)>>

...Days have passed.

The students had a sports festival.

'Surprisingly', Class E won--what a surprise! (Of course they would win!)

Gakushuu was rather angry at his loss--he even had 'students'--muscular men--on his side.

As more time passed by, the Class E students had gotten in trouble--well, some of them.

The Class E students disobeyed rules and used their free running in a non-dangerous situation--meaning they did it for fun.

The students that disobeyed rules accidentally crashed into a man who was carrying a few boxes; he needed to be sent to a hospital.

Surprisingly, Koro-Sensei slapped the students who had went against the rules.

Tsuna and Karasuma merely looked disappointed at the group.

The students apologized, and they took care of the nursery that the old man was running.

In the end, they improved the entire nursery completely.

Apologies were accepted, and the old man, Matsukata, was satisfied--although a little begrudgingly.

The students learned their lesson.

After all of that, Karasuma gave the students new assassination gear; hooded jackets and pants.

With the new gear, the students made a promise to Koro-Sensei to use their skills to protect others instead.

Peace had fully returned for the group.

(O.D.D.- Yeah, I shortened a lot of stuff, but you guys want you-know-who to appear soon.  Hope you don't mind~! (^_−)−☆)

~~

"H-Have a good d-day, s-sir!"

The female flight attendant blushed hard as a ravenet walked past her.

He stuffed his hands into his pockets as he walked through the airport.

Once he was out of the large building, he glanced around the busy streets.

"Now.....to find this 'Class E' Lovro told me about..."

<<(An Abandoned Building)>>

A mysterious man sat in the shadows, scrolling through a tablet in his hand.

'X''s were placed on various faces.

He smiled stopping on a picture of Irina....and another picture of.....Tsuna.

"D o n o t f e a r i t , t h e n a m e ' G o d o f D e a t h ' ."
