Chapter 1

Vongola Comes

"Oi! Idiot student of mine!"

"What is it?"

"There's a rather interesting request for me."

"… This is… rather… unexpected. To think the government of all people would ask us for help."

"Shall we humor them?"

"I don't mind. Their deal is good, and even better if we manage to snatch the reward. But please wipe that smirk off your face. The world is the one at stake here!"

"Did you say something, Dame-Boss?"

"HIEEE!"

.o0o.o0o.

Kunugigaoka Junior High School

"Good morning. I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, but you may call me Tsuna-sensei, or just Tsuna. I'll be your assistant teacher in the class, and I'll also be aiding as your counselor. I hope we can get along well."

"Chaos. You may call me Reborn. I'll be part of your class for this year."

Nagisa curiously observed the two. The puffy haired brunette, their new assistant teacher, introduced himself with a warm smile, as if he is going to accept them all despite being the useless ones in Class E. The role of counselor will fit him well.

And then, Nagisa's head swiveled to the black haired boy, their supposedly new classmate. He was aloof and too mature for someone with their age. Too efficient, too curt, too aloof, too mature, too pensive for a 3rd year Junior High.

Nagisa won't be surprised if the boy got 100 on all of his tests.

(Nagisa briefly wondered if pets are allowed in the class, because the chameleon currently resting on top of the black-haired boy's fedora certainly should be considered as pet.)

Karasuma-sensei stepped forward, further introducing the new duo. "These two are part of the Mafia in Italy. Reborn, in particular, is a well known hitman, while Sawada-san is one of the best dealers. Both of them are going to teach you the ways of hitman."

"NUUOOOHH!"

All heads swiveled to Korosensei, who was currently regenerating his head and two of his tentacles. A green gun was in Reborn's hand, the smoking end pointed to Korosensei.

Did that new student just harmed Korosensei? Doing something that none of Class E had managed to do?

"Hmmm… Not bad," Reborn commented as he walked around Korosensei, as if appraising this new, strange creature. "You avoided 3 of them. That's more than what humans had managed."

"Nurufufufu," green stripes appeared on Koro-sensei's face, "You managed to land 3 hits on me. That's more than what other had managed to do."

The green gun lighted up, before turning into a green chameleon. It climbed back to its place on top of the fedora. "Hitman Lesson No.1," Reborn said, "Swift and efficient. Do not let the target notice your action even if you are right in front of them."

Nagisa quickly scribbled the impromptu lesson to his notes.

"I suppose my seat is in the back of the class? I'll be going then. Better start the lesson soon, Korosensei."

And with that, Reborn glided to the back of the class.

"NUYAAAH?" Korosensei shouted in surprise once more. Nagisa stared wide eyed, wondering what was it that was troubling Korosensei. He finally noticed a thin wire around Korosensei's tentacles, tying them together tightly. One end was held in Reborn's hand, while the other was in Tsuna-sensei's hands.

Was it during the time Reborn encircled Korosensei that Reborn had the wire trap set around Korosensei's body? How… ingenious.

Reborn took out his green gun once more, starting to shoot accurately at the trapped Korosensei's face and tentacles. Tsuna-sensei threw something to the ground – was that Anti-Sensei Pellet? – which caused Korosensei's tentacles to disintegrate. During the moment Korosensei was disabled, Tsuna-sensei wrapped his arms around Korosensei, holding him in place as Reborn aimed.

Korosensei disintegrated even further.

Could these new duo succeed in killing Korosensei?

Korosensei managed to somehow pry Tsuna-sensei's arm open, and he was suddenly free once more to dodge the incoming bullet. But Tsuna-sensei seemed undeterred as he grabbed on to Korosensei's clothes, and he started to kick and punch Korosensei. While most of them missed, some of them managed to hit Korosensei, disintegrating the limbs with what Nagisa thought as gloves with Anti-Sensei material.

It was like Tsuna-sensei knew where Korosensei will be going next.

Then it came to the point that Tsuna managed to grab on to Korosensei's head and slammed it to the teacher's desk.

There was silence as the class watched at Korosensei's melted head and still form.

"Be prepared to execute for any plan." Tsuna said to the class. "No matter how elaborate the plan earlier was, this plan was actually impromptu made to demonstrate our skills. At other circumstances, we would've chosen a more effective method, but one of our priorities here is to teach."

"Hitman Lesson No. 2," Reborn said, "Keep your tools and weapons in your body at all times, concealed or unconcealed. The time will present itself where the target is vulnerable, during this time, strike."

"And lastly," Reborn said, "Since your sensei is dead, we will be going back to Italy. Goodbye."

Just as the both of them made their way pass Karasuma-sensei, their arms were grabbed by a set of tentacles.

"Nurufufufu…"

"So," Reborn narrowed his eyes, "Your head is not your weakness, is it?"

Korosensei was now standing, his disfigured head slowly regenerating back, a smirk played on his lips.

"Well done!" He congratulated, "That's the most that anyone has done to kill me! Even the government doesn't hold a candle!"

Karasuma-sensei twitched at the insult.

"I guess I'll be informing Hayato that he will be handling the meeting without me?" Tsuna asked Reborn, who was still watching Korosensei pensively.

"You do that, we're not leaving here for some time," Reborn said, "not until Korosensei is killed."

.o0o.o0o.

"Reborn, anyone caught your attention?" Tsuna asked Reborn once they were back to their apartment – more like Penthouse.

"Currently, there is only one."

"Who?"

"The blue haired one. Shiota Nagisa."

Tsuna recalled the boy with girly body and hair tied in two. There was nothing wrong from him. He was average in everything at best, but… "My Hyper Intuition won't calm down when I'm near him."

"So it's true…"

"What?"

"Dame-Tsuna. That boy is similar to me and your Rain. A natural Hitman."

Reborn is the 'calculative' type of hitman, who has ample amount of skills and instinct to help him, who has the skills to worm into the hearts of men and women alike. Yamamoto Takeshi is uncannily sharp despite his easy-going attitude, his Rain attribute only served to help him, and his sword skills are top notch. On the other hand, what kind of skills can Shiota Nagisa offer? He was nothing in terms of skill and strength… he was not even the best at communication skills…

"Haa… I knew this mission is more trouble than it's worth. Reborn even got fired up."

"Shut up, Dame-Tsuna. I would've gotten him if I am allowed to use my flames."

"Yes, yes, but the Dying Will Flames are part of the Omerta. We can't use that in the midst of civilians."

"You can't deny that you're not interested in it."

"Yeah… And the deal is too good for Vongola to pass up. To think the world government will let go of all the Vongola prisoners and her allies just for our cooperation, and another 10 billion yen once we got him killed. It's a good thing the government does not know of the name of Vongola Decimo, or else they might capture me and put me in jail right away."

"And…" Tsuna continued, "We can scout for skills here…"

"They're all middle-school civilian students," Reborn retorted, "It will be hard to find someone with mafia worthy skills."

"Yeah," Tsuna scoffed, "And we saved the world when I was younger than them."

"You're my student, and a Vongola Heir. What do you expect?"
