All According To Plan

Hey, Shun here!

Robots have always been the dream of probably majority of guys who were born during 1990's and above, especially when you grew up watching Power Rangers, Voltes Five, Daimos, and probably even Ultraman.

Superheroes was really big during that time period.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

(Shun's POV)

"With that said, please be nice to her." Koro-sensei said. After a brief second of pause, he added.

"Of course, though we, as in Shirakami-kun, Sakaki-san, and me, may have upgraded certain things on her, we didn't lay a hand on her bloodlust. Having her around would be quite instrumental if you want to have a chance at assassinating me, after all… Nyu-huhuhu…"

"Yes~!" While saying so, Ritsu took out her guns again.

"Sensei, what is that thing? Is it like Ritsu-san?" Hayami Rinka asked. She's a beautiful girl with sharp facial features.

She has medium-length, wavy light brown hair, styled in a low pigtails and sharp-looking green eyes, making her look like a person with a cold and, quite possibly, a frank personality. She's around the same height as Kanzaki-san, I think?

No, she's a centimeter short…

Upon hearing her question, Koro-sensei immediately replied.

"Oh, that? It's a new technology that was sent by a private company. They said that its capabilities are stronger than Ritsu and it was sent here to demonstrate just that. They promised that they could destroy at least one of my tentacles, after all. Nyu-huhuhu…"

There were green rings that formed on Koro-sensei's face, signifying that he believed none of what he just said.

"I look forward to seeing what it can do. Although, I'm sure that it can't land a hit on me. Nyu-huhuhu."

The moment he said that, strings of codes started to pass through the monitor fast the moment the screen of this new black box lit up. The next moment, the hatches on its sides and on top of it opened up.

The right contains five shotguns while thee left side have four machine guns. Aside from that, there are two sniper rifles on top of it.

"Wha—? It has more weapons than me. That's unfair." Ritsu, who was watching on the side, commented.

Without uttering anything, this machine began to get to work. The moment it started firing, everyone could already tell the difference between it and the Ritsu before the upgrade.

"It's shots are avoiding us…" Nagisa pointed out.

"No, I think it's just taking into account our position." Hayami-san said.

Even though everyone kept on moving their body, the shots from this Autonomously Intelligent Artillery was able to accurately predict even the student's movements and avoid hitting them entirely. One more thing that was different between them was that, this Autonomously Intelligent Artillery could navigate through the classroom without disrupting anyone.

Not only that, but its guns have suppressors that could seemingly kill almost all of the sound that firing the BB's bring. It almost as if the classes are continuing as par for the course, if not for the low *shui*-ing sounds and the pink BB's that are flying all over the place.

"Nyu-huhuhu. So you're starting the attack already. Is it because the class haven't started yet?" Koro-sensei still had that smug expression on his face as he dodged the attacks, creating afterimages.

"Look at this, everyone. This is how you easily dodge attacks."

"""That's not easily, Koro-sensei!"""

I could definitely follow his movements with my eyes. However, him boasting at this moment is a mistake.

The moment we heard him do this, Mutsuko-san took out a sniper rifle from inside her bag. Meanwhile, Pochi, Tama, Rokuko, and me took out our own Anti-sensei Equipments.

Aside from me, Tama, and Rokuko who are using the standard issue military knife-like plastic knife, Pochi is using a custom made greatsword-like Anti-sensei weapon. With our weapons on hand, we started our joint attack against Koro-sensei.

"Oya~? Nyu-huhuhu… This is very interesting. So you're using the attacks of Autonomously Intelligent Artillery-san as your cover fire, huh… Come at me, new students!"

He just finished his last sentence when a low whizzing sound came from behind him.

"So talkative, sensei~?"

It was Tama who came for a surprise attack from behind, aiming at Koro-sensei's neck.

"Ot-to! That was close, Tama-kun. Sensei didn't know that you're fast as well…" Koro-sensei said as he easily avoided Tama's attack.

"Nyuuu~… Tama not fast like [Admin-sensei]~."

*whizz*

While Tama was saying that, I appeared at Koro-sensei's right side, with my attack directly aimed at his chest. At this kind of speed, only Tama, Koro-sensei, and me, the assailant, could see this attack coming clearly — and maybe to a lower extent, Pochi.

As my attack was coming after him, Koro-sensei grabbed me by the hand and, using a whip-like motion, threw me at the very back of the classroom. After recovering, I immediately went for another attack. However, this time, I'm being backed up by Pochi, Tama, Rokuko, and Mutsuko-san.

Tama took care of the right, Pochi came rushing from the left side, Rokuko attempted to attack from the front, and Mutsuko-san provided another layer of suppressive fire. With a huge swing, Pochi's attack came crashing down towards Koro-sensei, which he of course easily avoided by stepping to the right.

However, Tama immediately cut off his retreating path by attempting to slash at him. It was at that moment that I appeared behind him, with my bloodlust on full force that only Koro-sensei could probably feel — atleast that's what I intended to do so.

Because of this, I managed to get his full attention. And that attention is all I needed to execute the plan that I have thought up of yesterday.

With my attack closing in on him, Koro-sensei just laughed it off and easily caught my knife using one of his handkerchief covered tentacles.

"Nyu-huhuhu. That's still not enough to land a hit on me, Shirakami-kun."

However, that was yet another mistake.

From the beginning, it wasn't us who are using the Autonomously Intelligent Artillery to get some of our attacks in. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

The next moment, the sound of some sort of liquid bursting out echoed inside the now deathly silent classroom.

*piak*

The source of the sound? The base of the tentacle that Koro-sensei used to block my attack.

However, it's not over yet.

"Oh no!" Koro-sensei shouted as he, on a panic, attempted to dodge Pochi's overhead slash. Unfortunately for him, this was yet another trap that was laid by us.

The moment he attempted to dodge, Mutsuko-san fired her attack towards where he should be going. Knowing this, Koro-sensei upped his speed and he ran towards the left corner of our room.

'Bingo…' I thought.

"Fantastic attempt coming from you new students but, unfortunately, managing to cut just one of my tentacles isn't enough to kill me… Nyu-huhuhu." The moment he said that, a BB came flying towards him, his head being its target.

However, Koro-sensei just confidently blocked it using the chalk that he has been holding onto all this time. It was then that the tentacle that was holding the chalk blew up.

As a result, the chalk that he was holding fell off the ground with a low *thud*. His tentacles that blew up into some sort of mucus splattered on the floor, letting out a small amount of smoke.

Everyone in the class looked on, dumbfounded. This was the very first time they've seen Koro-sensei lose a tentacle aside from when he shot himself in order to demonstrate that the BB's and knives works on him. Not only did he lose one tentacle, he lost two.

Unlike our classmates who were totally gobsmacked though, Koro-sensei seems to have noticed something.

"Nyu-huhuhu. Wonderfully done, Shirakami-kun. This was all a part of your plan all along, wasn't it?"

However, in response to his question, I just shrugged my shoulders.

"No, you're probably just imagining things, Koro-sensei. Who would've thought that, instead of us using the Autonomously Intelligent Artillery to land our shots with a better percentage of succeeding, it would use us instead. Yaa, that was beyond what I expected."

"Nyu-huhuhu, is that so? But still, that was a wonderful attempt coming from all five of you. However! Next time, you should choose a different time. Because of this, our class will be delayed by a few minutes."!"

"'kaaay~ ugly octopus-sensei~!" Tama said.

As if an invisible arrow hit him on his chest, Koro-sensei backed off slightly while clutching his chest.

"Pochi understands, octopup-sensei!" Pochi added.

Yet another invisible arrow landed on his chest, scoring a critical hit.

"Hey Shun, isn't our yellow octopus teacher quite fast? I can't land a hit on him."

Yet another attack. This time, the attack made him clutch his chest tighter in agony as he is now down on the ground, on bended knees.

The one to deal the finishing blow was Mutsuko-san who is currently pouting slightly as she clicked her tongue.

"Chi~. I can't follow this squirming yellow octopus's movements. Aren't you our sensei? You should go easy on us more."

"Guha!" Koro-sensei fell on the ground in a rather dramatic manner, leaving him grovelling on the wooden floor of our classroom.

"How cruel, the new students are so cruel… It's not like sensei intended to do that you know? Sensei have the pride as your teacher after all… Sensei is…"

It took quite some time before he could finally recover his spirits and continue teaching. However, it seems that he was still feeling down when he left the classroom.

He was covering his face at the time, constantly saying that it was so embarrassing and that he embarassed himself in front of his students. Although it was quite funny, Mutsuko-san, Pochi, Tama, and Rokuko felt bad and immediately went after him to apologies.

I even gave them a relatively expensive pudding that I stored in my inventory to serve as our token of apology.

It is currently History class and, since I have pretty much gone through this lesson myself, I was left with nothing else to do. Thus, I, like a lifeless corpse, rested my back on my seat before I looked behind me by tilting my head back.

'It looks like my plan succeeded flawlessly. With the credential of having landed and cut off two of the tentacles of a creature that could fly at Mach 20, our creation, in the eyes of those who are in the know, would now probably look like a superior machine than Ritsu.' I thought while looking at the large black box behind me.

'I just need to make a few calls and the investors of Ritsu's creators would probably flock towards us instead…'

Yes. All of the things that happened earlier was part of my ultimate plan to make Ritsu's creators lose their fundings.

You see, when we were upgrading Ritsu, I thought about her creators who might just ruin it for all of us. This was all part of the plan I created to make them lose their investors, which will then result in them losing their funding.

This new Autonomously Intelligent Artillery is a part of this plan. With the ability of hitting Koro-sensei twice and cutting off his tentacles, I bet this mouthwatering news could make those guys who are investing on Ritsu's creators right now to immediately consider not to do so anymore.

Now, why am I doing all this, you ask? Well, the answer is actually quite simple.

"Hey, Shun-kun. Thank you for doing all this." Mutsuko-san said while giving me a thumbs up.

Yep. It's because Mutsuko-san took a liking to Ritsu and her endless possibilities. Because she thought that she couldn't do it herself, she asked for my help last night and, as a result of that, we came up with this plan.

I remember what she said yesterday to me.

"I've always dreamed of creating an AI myself but I can't do it. You know, with an AI's help, I could make better equipments for us! Also, it looks like she'll be a good addition to my Survival Club!"

She definitely wanted her to be on our side because of the last reason she said. Definitely.

While I was thinking of such things, Koro-sensei suddenly called me out.

"Shirakami-kun, stand up and tell me about what you've learned so far!"

"Yes~, yes~…"
