Akuma no Riddle

You wouldn't come back alive like this!

Come at me with the intent to kill!

No target will just wait quietly to be killed!

Fight to your last breath!

Only when the target has stopped breathing is your work over.

Training Complete!

First successful person: Azuma Tokaku!

There's only one choice, Azuma Tokaku.

Year 10 - Black Class

As someone of this world, surely have heard of it?

You will transfer from here,

find out who your target is, and kill them.

For certain reasons, your target is a high school girl.

Other than the target, all your classmates are assassins.

They all received training from birth like you.

All of them have different objectives, though.

Money, influence, a love for killing.

Well Azuma Tokaku, what do you desire?

Nothing.

There's no reason to overthink it.

If I have to kill her, I’ll just kill her.

1st Question:

"The world is filled with ________"

Yes.

Did you check the text?

Curses?

Bzzz~! Wrong!

Curses? You're so unpleasant.

Is that all?

No.

You know, you'd think we'd send the best pupil to represent us.

But that's a mistake.

I just picked the person with the worst judgment.

Tokaku, you're a worthless existence.

In any case, that doesn't matter.

Live to kill, or live to die.

Choose the one you like.

Or maybe try to make use of your life?

I don't get what you're on about!

Idiot!

Myoujou Academy is an integrated campus of elementary, middle, high school and university.

It has strong connections with statesmen, rich people and other influential individuals.

There are several days until all the members of the Black Class come together.

For now just wait for the details from the client.

Client?

The Myoujou Academy Board Chairman.

Are you in the Black Class too?

I...

Uwaah! W-what is it? Homeroom is about to start.

Welcome, students of year 10's Black Class!

I'm your homeroom teacher, Mizorogi Ataru.

I've been a teacher for 3 years.

I teach Biology.

It's my first time being a homeroom teacher.

Pleased to meet you!

He seems like a normal person. Why didn't I notice him?

Starting today, you're all members of the same class.

You can think of me as an older brother and rely on me.

Sensei is interesting.

But you're really not my type~

Ah, umm...

Well, I'll introduce myself then.

Attendance Number 2, Inukai Isuke.

It has three 'i's.

Sensei is really young.

Then again, you can't be anything over 40.

Eeh, once they get to 40, they're old men.

40 isn't old at all. Would you like to die?

No way~ don't get mad.

Attendance Number 10, Hashiri Nio. Nice to meet you.

Don't fight over sensei.

Then, next is Attendee number 1!

Attendance Number 1, Azuma Tokaku.

Did she say...Azuma?

Seriously?

Don't call me Tokaku.

I'm often asked, so I'm telling you now.

Next is Attendee 12!

Umm, number 12?

I'll do it when the sun goes down.

When the sun... has completely set, I'll do it.

Don’t make me say it again...

Th-then finally, it's-

Attendance Number 13, Ichinose Haru.

Let's get along!

Ichinose Haru

Umm, I made these straps to show we're friends.

Please take one!

Ah, Thanks.

I don’t want one~ They're lame.

Let's get along as a class from today onwards. As for the dorms, can Azuma be the dorm leader for now?

I don’t want it.

I’ll have to get rid of it later.

Collecting Information.

Answers to the problem:

Trash, Mediocrity, Ignorance,

Insanity, Regret

There are 5 people in the class.

All wrong.

You really are an idiot.

It's a nice view isn't it?

There's lots of interesting things to talk.

Like how the builders of that building over there keep getting into traffic accidents,

or how there's a cemetery in the basement.

We're both students here, so we should get along.

Shall we team up?

I can become your subordinate.

Have you confirmed the target?

I know at least it's not you.

You have an unpleasant smell.

I agree.

The target is most likely Ichinose Haru.

Her smell is different than ours.

She really shouldn't let her guard down.

A GPS or a bug?

I have no need for that.

You're throwing it away?

Even if it doesn't look like that sort of thing?

Huh? That's strange.

Then if you don’t want it, it’d be fine to call it mine now, right?

Even though I thought I didn't want one earlier.

I don't want mine either.

You've got a scary face, sis!

You too.

I don’t intend to hide.

We'll all have to do it.

Anyhow, it’s probably number 13 right?

Mmmm~ Who knows.

U...Umm...

Thank you...

It...makes me really happy.

Really!? Then I’m also really happy!

It'll be a holy relic.

"Holy... relic"?

Something sacred left behind by a dead person.
