Although it sounded very cool, saying things like 'Leave it to me'.
But Shiota Nagisa knew very clearly the gap between his own body and Takaoka's. Even if Takaoka stood still for a few years and he trained hard for a few years, he might not necessarily catch up.
The only thing he could rely on was his 'ultimate move'.
However, whether it was Lovro's ultimate move or the one Kaede taught him, both required the opponent to be in a certain state: mental tension. Just that one split second would suffice.
However, Shiota Nagisa knew he couldn't be like Kaede, possessing absolute strength, capable of instantly making the opponent enter that state.
Then he could only take a step back, combining what Teacher Lovro and Kaede taught him. Use what Teacher Lovro taught to make the opponent's spirit reveal a flaw, and then use what Kaede taught to take him down in one go!
He thought about it that way, but sometimes things don't go as smoothly as planned.
Before it even started, in the eyes of everyone in Class 3-E who were watching wide-eyed, Takaoka pressed the button, and the box next to him exploded instantly.
You!
Shiota Nagisa looked at Takaoka. At this moment, he gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and a hint of aura slowly appeared on his body.
Kaede, standing nearby, narrowed her eyes, looking at Shiota Nagisa. If she wasn't mistaken, that was killing intent. Although very faint, it was indeed killing intent.
In other words, under Takaoka's provocation, Shiota Nagisa had developed killing intent toward him.
Kill!
Kill you!
The voice filled with killing intent emerged from Shiota Nagisa's mouth, and his eyes also radiated killing intent.
Yes, that's it!
Haha!
Kaede naturally knew the conditions required for Shiota Nagisa to achieve victory. If things continued like this, Shiota Nagisa wouldn't use his 'ultimate move' and would instead be provoked into anger.
Just at this moment, Shiota Nagisa seemed to have been hit by something.
Shiota Nagisa touched his head, then picked up the stun gun from the ground, looking a bit dazed, and looked at Terasaka Ryoma behind him.
Don't let others lead you by the nose! Nagisa! You looked at me just now, right? With your observational skills, you also observed that I was infected with his virus, right?
So, don't worry about us! How could I be in trouble with this kind of virus? Instead of having the mood to consider this, you'd better consider that if you really killed that piece of scum, you would be committing murder!
Go! Bean sprout—no, Shiota Nagisa, take the stun gun and finish him!
Terasaka Ryoma roared, enduring the weakness of his body.
...
Kaede looked at Terasaka Ryoma. Actually, her opinion of Terasaka Ryoma had never been very friendly, but indeed, he was also a member of Class 3-E, and also its student.
Watching the killing intent on Shiota Nagisa's body slowly subside, a smile appeared on Kaede's face. In this case, there shouldn't be any future trouble.
Go, Nagisa, the first person in Class 3-E to truly communicate with me.
Kaede smiled, looked at the surrounding classmates, and finally looked at Koro-sensei staying in Kayano Kaede's hands, sighing.
After this time, it was time for her to leave. Of course, not to leave this world, but to leave Class 3-E. In order to improve her strength, she could no longer continue to stay in Class 3-E.
She hadn't left before because Kaede was still perfecting her knowledge. Now that it was mostly perfected, continuing to stay in Class 3-E could no longer offer her any help, so she could only choose to leave.
Although staying in Class 3-E was not bad, compared to that, she wanted to become stronger even more. However, before that ultimate move was completed, she would stay in this world.
The knowledge was already perfected, and the next step was the practical stage. The current level was of no help to her at all.
However, before leaving...
Thinking, Kaede walked over to Kayano, took Koro-sensei's head from her hands, and then threw it to Kanzaki.
Uh, Kaede, what are you doing?
Koro-sensei was startled by the sudden shaking.
Hmm, Kayano.
Ignoring Koro-sensei, Kaede looked at Kayano.
Hmm? What is it, Kaede? Nagisa is still fighting!
He will be fine.
Kaede said, staring into Kayano's eyes, then suddenly leaned down, her lips brushing against Kayano's ear.
Uh, Kaede...
Kayano was startled by Kaede's sudden attack.
Although I don't know what you are enduring, you have been enduring some pain, right? Sometimes, being able to endure is a good thing, but you can't endure it forever without saying it out loud.
I also don't know why you never say anything and always want to hide it. However, you must have your reasons for wanting to hide it. As your friend, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't pry.
Before I leave, I don't want to ask too much. I just want to say to you, I hope you will be liberated from your pain soon.
Saying this, Kaede revealed a smile.
Kayano seemed to be stunned and asked subconsciously.
Since when did you know?
I knew from the beginning.
Kaede narrowed her eyes.
No one has ever been able to conceal all their emotions in front of me without me noticing~
Hearing this, Kayano widened her eyes and opened her mouth, looking at Kaede as if looking at a monster.
Uh, no.
Suddenly, Kayano realized she had ignored something before. She frowned and recalled what Kaede had just said—not just about her own affairs, but also...
You are leaving?!
Yes, I cannot continue to stand still here. It is time to leave.
Kaede did not deny it and nodded.
But...
Kayano was a bit anxious and wanted to say something, but Kaede pressed her index finger against her lips.
No 'buts'. Now is the time for Nagisa's battle. Cheer for him properly.
After speaking, Kaede left.
Hey, hey, what did Kaede say to you?
Kanzaki came over at this time and asked.
Uh, Kaede... is leaving.
Kayano answered a bit blankly.
What!?
And Koro-sensei, who was staying in Kanzaki's hands, narrowed his eyes and looked at Kaede. Is she setting off? Although he didn't want to say it, it was true: while she stayed in Class 3-E, he couldn't teach her anything.
Among his students, Kaede should have long since had the strength to graduate. Forcing her to stay in Class 3-E would actually be bad.
Not beyond Kaede's expectations, Shiota Nagisa soon successfully created an opportunity to use his ultimate move and successfully took down Takaoka.
Just when they were cheering, Kanzaki and Kayano approached Kaede.
Are you really leaving?
Yes.
Kaede nodded.
Kayano and Kanzaki both fell silent. Although they wanted to dissuade her, thinking of Kaede's true identity, staying in Class 3-E was actually a real constraint on her, right?
Good luck, you must be safe!
Suddenly, Kanzaki took a deep breath and said.
Kaede paused, then nodded.
I will.
What you said is true! That medicine doesn't have such severe effects at all?
At this time, a roar suddenly came from over there.
Yes, this is what Kaede said.
Koro-sensei said.
Kaede, is it true!?
The first one to run in front of Kaede was Nagisa.
Ah, I swear by my assassin ranking, it's true.
Kaede said.
Yeah!!
Instantly, there were cheers and the sound of tears falling.
Also, I have one thing to tell you all.
Kaede said at this moment.
What?
Shiota Nagisa suddenly had a bad feeling.
I am leaving.
The cheerful atmosphere froze at this moment, and silence spread in everyone's hearts. They all knew that there would definitely be a day when Kaede would leave, but they didn't expect it to be today...
Well, I've been very happy staying with you all for so many days.
Saying this, Kaede laughed.
And, Koro-sensei, please approve.
Yes, you may. However, you will always be a part of Class 3-E.
Koro-sensei said seriously.
Ah, of course.
Kaede narrowed her eyes, then looked up at the night sky, revealing a smile.
Kayano was silent, not knowing what to say. Although Kaede didn't know her secret, she knew that she was suffering.
However, she really didn't want Kaede to leave...
...
Afterwards, Kaede left without attracting anyone's attention, leaving gracefully. By the time they discovered it, it would probably take a while.
Goodbye. I don't know if there will be a time when we meet again.
Kaede looked at the crowd walking toward the hotel, narrowed her eyes, and then turned and disappeared into the night.
With this, Kaede drew a line under her time in Class 3-E.
However, something happened afterward, something only Karasuma knew, and that was the mysterious death of the imprisoned Takaoka...
Karasuma roughly knew who had done it, but he didn't report it, nor did he tell anyone in Class 3-E about it.
When he received this news, he just gave a bitter smile; it was truly her style, after all.
