The Class 3-E's English Teacher who is Jelavić Irina had a frown in her face because four days has passed since October 10, her birthday yet her crush, Karasuma, hasn't given her a gift.

Everyone was trying to impress their teacher so they went to buy gifts for her, the ones who were buying was Angel, Karma, Nagisa, Kayano, Okuda, Sugino, and Kanzaki.

"Bitch-sensei probably already got just about every gift there is."

"This is a tough one."

"The class pitched in 5,107 yen, will that even get us a present for a grown woman?"

They sighed, their situation right now is hopeless, Jelavić is professional assassin and a fashionista, they thought that she had everything.

"Hey you guys! Did everything turn out okay? You know, with the old guy's leg?"

Angel turned to the flower shop guy as something ached in her head, she knew it... she knew how familiar he is.

"Thanks so much for your help, he managed to forgive us."

"I'm glad it wasn't anything serious and now you'd like to find a gift, something for a grown up?"

"Yes."

"How about something like this?"

The man handed Angel a red pretty flower, it made her awestruck.

"Wow, it's pretty!" she gawked and took the flower from him.

"Yeah it is, it has the same color as blood and vengeance." He whispered as of for the flower that he gave her it was a red spider lily, a pretty kind of flower with shades of bright crimson.

"Hey Angel-chan, your name is posted in the van Flower Angel it said." Sugino pointed his hand at the banner.

"Oh shut up, Tomohito. It's just the shop sign—there's no deep meaning behind it y'know!" Angel growled.

Tomohito only snickered as he mentioned it, he was right—her name was written on the sign board.

"In an age where we have our pick of presents, why do you think flowers are still popular gift?"

Everyone didn't also know as the guy showed him the flowers that he was selling in the van, every flower was very beautiful and has a good fragrance in them.

"It's not just about heart, their color, shape, fragrance, and their impermanence—makes them a perfect match for the human instinct."

"A very fine speech indeed, if only you weren't holding a calculator." Karma sighed.

"Well, it is a business...so what'll it be? I'll cut you a deal."

They smiled at each other while Angel was still admiring the flower in her hand, somehow...this flower was nostalgic.

'Red Spider Lily...it's really pretty.'

"A flower for Irina's birthday? Why me? She'd be happier to get it from all of you class." Karasuma stated.

Nagisa sweat dropped while holding the flower, thinking of how clueless their japanese, square teacher is.

"Karasuma-sensei, if you consider that bitch a vital asset, wouldn't winning your colleague over be a big part of your job? Oh, and let's not tell her who got the bouquet..." Karma added.

"You do have a point, Karma...Alright, I'll do it. Thank you for your concern." Karasuma stated as he grabbed the flowers from Nagisa.

That's when everything started, Ritsu reported to the others that the prep work was done so they excused themselves and took a leave. She stomped on the ground and slammed open the door with a pout on her face, she noticed that Karasuma was holding something color red.

"Hey Karasuma, listen to this, those brats just suddenly—"

"Nice timing, Irina."

Karasuma handed her a bouquet of dozen, fresh red roses making Jelavić confused by the sudden gesture.

"Happy birthday, Irina." he plainly stated.

"No way...from you?" she asked, surprised.

"Sorry I'm late, things got busy." he said.

Jelavić grabbed the bouquet of roses as the students hid outside and eavesdropped in their conversation.

"I'm just thrilled, thank you. You don't have anything up your sleeve, do you? I didn't expected for you to give me a present!"

"I'm just marking the occasion, this is probably the first and last birthday celebration."

That's when things screwed up, if only he shut his mouth and say something else except that.

"What do you mean about: our first and last? Karasuma?" she asked as her smile dropped.

"Either our mission ends or the world does, one of the two reasons. It'll be over in less than half a year." he stated.

She was pissed, she walked towards the door, opened the window and saw the students hiding there.

"Whoops, Irina found us..." Angel sweat dropped.

"Uh oh, this looks bad."

"You caught us."

"I figured it was something like this, no way would that square think to give me flowers for my birthday." she said as she pulled the trigger of her gun as Koro-sensei fell on the ground.

"Did you enjoy yourselves? Stringing along a pro assassin watching her get her hopes up?" she asked them with pure animosity.

"That is wrong, Irina-sensei. The students acted out of pure affect—" Koro-sensei was cut off.

"Save your lame argument, octopus!" she yelled, angrily.

Now she remembered that this is merely a business relationship, she's been playing school with them in their peaceful world.

"Angel, pack your stuff...we're leaving this place right now." Jelavić stated.

"What? Where we going?" Angel asked.

"I don't know...your coming along with me, aren't you?" she didn't replied, the expression of hesitation was written in her face.

"Have you forgotten about it already? This is just business, don't be so attached by those brats—your different from them!" Jelavić growled.

"What's with you all of the sudden?" the younger girl asked, confused.

"There is no way we can live a normal life after killing many people before, do you get it?"

"I-I know that...but—"

"Why are you hesitating? Once all of this is over—we're going to continue being assassins!"

"..." she didn't replied, but Jelavić was right, why was she hesitating? Is it because she had a boyfriend? Is it because she made lots of friends? She doesn't know.

"Fine then, I'm going on my own." Jelavić walked up to Karasuma while handing him the roses, while her every word was filled with poison.

"Thank you for the present, my eyes are opened now..." she firmly said.

Was were her last words when she left the assassination classroom and went on hiatus for awhile.

✦ ✧ ✦

"It's been three days since Bitch-sensei left the classroom."

"I know that we went that far, but..."

"If something happens to Irina-sensei, don't hesitate to call me!"

With that, Koro-sensei went to Brazil to play a soccer match on his own.

"He had his mind set on attending this game for awhile now."

"Pressing forward with the players own power!"

"Be's your typical once-every-four-years sudden fan."

Koro-sensei's weak point

28) Not quite sure what our soccer is

"I wonder if Bitch-sensei is okay."

"No good, I can't get through."

"There's no sign of her on GPS or public surveillance cameras."

"She wouldn't leave over something like this, would she?"

"That's not true, there's still something you need her to do."

"Right? And besides, it's fun having her around."

"Yes, you've bonded nicely, you guys and her. My preliminary research has already verified that much. All I'll do is exploit that."

Everyone was now confused in how that guy entered the classroom, Angel hurriedly swiped a gun from her pocket as she pointed it at him.

"Damn you...how did you entered the classroom without us noticing?!" she growled.

"You better put that down, Yuuki-san. It's dangerous."

He glared at her as a shivers run up to her spine. She was shaking from fear, seconds later—she puts down the gun while sweat trickled down her forehead, her heart was beating rapidly than usual.

"A flower's beauty negates human cautions and opens the heart, but the original reason flowers evolved to be lovely and fragrant was to attract insects."

He turned to the IA and smiled as there was a new tab update to her.

"Ritsu-san, view the image I sent."

"Y-Yes, sir." the screen changed as the tied Jelavić appeared, the room was also dark.

"If you want her alive, you must all come to the location I specify and not a word to your teaches." He began to draw Bitch-sensei on the blackboard as he draw lines on her body.

"You don't have to if you don't want, I can send her to you. To each of you, equally, in little pieces...and the flowers would be all likely you."

"Who the heck are you?" Angel growled.

"I am an assassin known as The Reaper and you must be that famous Red Man that's been a buzz before?"

"...Shut up, don't talk shit." she snarled.

"Did I hit a nerve? Sorry, anyways I have an offer for you..."

"What do you want now?" she glared at him.

He extended his hand to her with his usual light smile.

"Come and team up with me, we'll make the best combo...together we'll step on the weak and become the strongest."

"Heck no, I'm strong enough." she rejected the enemy's offer.

"Don't worry, if you team up with me, I would ensure your safety."

"Don't you get what I said? I don't want to team up with you." she growled.

His face changed in a frown as his hand fell on his side, clearly dissatisfied that she declined his offer.

"I see...if that's the case, I better get going now." he grabbed the petals as it fell everywhere on air while his face was filled with malicious intent.

"Fear not, The Reaper only cuts people down."

In a blink of an eye, he disappeared as he left a map behind, Angel collapsed on the ground as Karma walked up to her aid, she was panting hard as if she went into a marathon.

"Are you okay?"

"Who is he, Angel?"

"What does he mean about The Reaper and The Red Man?"

Fear was visible in her face as it became paler in every second, they let her seat on the chair and handed her a bottle of water.

"I don't even know him until Rin warned me a certain guy who was called The Reaper." she told them.

"Rin? You mean Soraru-san?"

"What does that mean?"

"She attacked me back then at the summer festival and warned me about him, at first I didn't paid attention until...he just suddenly showed up, sure, I can feel goosebumps running up to my spine when I first saw him but—"

She gripped on her arms tightly as hugged herself as if wanting to have warmth in her body.

"I'm scared, so scared that I think I'm losing myself..." she muttered.

The nasty scar on Rin's chest flashed through her head, then Karma embraced her as her eyes widened.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll protect you." he assured her.

"Yeah, I know that." she hugged him back while crawling up to him and rested her chin on his shoulder as a tear escaped her eyes.

'I see...I get it why he gave me red spider lily back then, it means...'

"The Flower of The Dead."
