That said, the students of Class 3-E were still too naive.
After the battle between Kaede and Horibe Iri, they had all run to Karasuma one by one to ask for more rigorous training. Why was that?
Because in the eyes of Class 3-E, Kaede had defeated the tentacled Horibe Iri as a human, which gave them hope and showed them their own shortcomings.
A strange thought appeared in their minds: if they worked a little harder, could they kill Koro-sensei, who also possessed tentacles?
Consequently, each of them was strangely inspired and ran to Karasuma, expressing their desire to become stronger and for their training to be more effective.
However, it must be said that seeing the determined look in each student's eyes, Karasuma happily agreed, though he felt a bit bitter inside.
You have to know, that Kaede was a monster in every sense of the word. There might not be anyone in this world who could be mentioned in the same breath as her, let alone surpass her.
Especially the fact that she was able to grab Horibe Iri's tentacles at the end; that was definitely something an ordinary person couldn't do.
However, even so, Karasuma did not doubt Kaede's identity. After all, no matter how they thought about it, they would never imagine that Kaede could no longer truly be considered a human.
According to the system, Kaede was now a humanoid creature with purebred dragon blood.
The current life of Class 3-E was going very well; neither academics nor assassination training had fallen behind.
But while the students of Class 3-E were happy and the teachers were pleased, others did not share this mood, especially the fact that an entity threatening the Earth was still alive in this world, which caused them great distress.
Although Karasuma's abilities were outstanding and he could also be called a monster, the fact that Koro-sensei had not yet been eliminated made those in high positions doubt Karasuma's capabilities.
Perhaps it wasn't that they doubted Karasuma's strength, but rather they felt that perhaps Karasuma was too busy, which resulted in him not being able to focus entirely on teaching the students assassination.
Therefore, they decided to send another instructor over specifically to teach the students about assassination.
"I heard this person will be transferred here by the higher-ups today..." Karasuma watched the students waving their knives over there and felt a bit dejected for a moment. Perhaps it really was his problem?
"Yo, Karasuma~" At this moment, a rather amiable-looking, slightly chubby person carrying a lot of things saw Karasuma, walked over, and greeted him.
"Takaoka!!" After Karasuma reacted and saw the person walking over, it turned out to be someone he knew: Takaoka Akira.
"Who is that person?" The people in Class 3-E also heard Takaoka's voice and asked Koro-sensei with some confusion.
However, the next moment, they got their answer.
"Hello everyone, my name is Takaoka Akira. Starting today, I will be working here as Karasuma's assistant. Please take care of me, everyone in Class 3-E!" As he said this, Takaoka Akira put all his things on the ground, revealing that they were cakes and snacks.
And they were some very good food items, making some people's eyes light up. You have to know that some of them were things they couldn't even eat if they wanted to, usually.
"Can we really eat such expensive things?" As the class representative, Isogai Yuma looked at the food, swallowed his saliva, and asked.
"Oh, eat, eat, don't worry about it, feel free to empty my wallet." As he said this, Takaoka Akira started eating himself, "I just want to get on good terms with you all quickly."
"To foster bonds, gathering together like this to eat is the most effective way, right!"
Hmm, that's right. Kaede also nodded in agreement, continuously picking up the food she wanted and eating.
However, although what he said wasn't wrong, it would be different if he had other motives. Kaede, while eating, watched the new teacher who seemed to be acting cute over there, a flash of coldness passing through her eyes.
Although he hid it well, Kaede could still tell that his goal wasn't just to get on good terms; there was definitely another motive. But what his goal actually was, Kaede did not know.
Hmm, although she knew Takaoka Akira's motives were impure, food had no sins. Since it was placed right in front of her, she might as well respectfully eat it all up!
"Hey hey, Kaede, leave some for us!"
With Kaede, this big eater, present, it caused the people nearby to pounce and scramble for food once they saw it, fearing that if they were a step late, the food would be finished by Kaede.
Kanzaki and Kayano indicated that their worries were correct. Only they knew that if Kaede were to eat alone, she could absolutely eliminate these several large bags of food without leaving a single crumb.
Watching the students scramble for food, Takaoka Akira's eyes flickered, but the corners of his mouth still held that amiable smile.
It looked like his strategy had already taken effect. Next, it was time to specifically plan how to trample Karasuma underfoot.
Thinking about the days when Karasuma would be trampled underfoot, the smile on Takaoka's face became even brighter.
"In order to share Karasuma's workload, I will be in charge of P.E. class starting tomorrow," Takaoka said. "Karasuma can just focus on his own affairs, right!"
The people in Class 3-E were all a bit hesitant.
"No problem. Since we are all in the same classroom, it means we are all one family. So, just rest assured and leave it to me, your elder!"
They had accepted gifts, so they felt obligated; they had eaten his food, so they felt indebted. In the end, although the students of Class 3-E were a bit hesitant, they still agreed. Although the truth was, even if they didn't agree, it wouldn't matter; this was an arrangement from above, not something they could oppose.
As for Kaede, she didn't intend to object either, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Well then, she would attend P.E. class tomorrow too.
She also quite wanted to know what Takaoka's goal really was. She hoped it wasn't that kind of excessive goal.
Kaede pondered, a cold arc quietly crossing her lips. If it were otherwise, she wouldn't care what Takaoka's identity was.
Then, on the next day, Kaede also appeared in the line for P.E. class. What Kaede didn't know was that her appearance not only surprised the surrounding students but also made Karasuma feel more and more that there was something wrong with his teaching.
Was it true that he shouldn't have kept his distance from the students because of his military status, but should have, like Takaoka, treated them like family and mingled with them?
However, the next moment, Karasuma's eyes widened as he looked at the battered backs of Takaoka's students in the photos. They were clearly scars from being whipped!
At this time, the students of Class 3-E had already received the class schedule Takaoka had prepared for them.
When Kaede saw the schedule, she found that training time seemed to take up a large proportion. Then, she calculated the time, and even including rest time, it was only nine hours.
This level seemed okay; it was quite relaxed. Back when she trained, it wasn't this easy.
However, Kaede always felt that she seemed to have overlooked something.
