It was a nice, sunny morning.. A nice, sunny, normal morning. The students were walking side-by-side up the mountain to their rustic, worn-out classroom known as Class 3E.

A certain bluenette sighed. "Back to normal..."

"Hey, did you get that email from Mr. Karasuma?" Sugino asked walking up behind Nagisa.

"Oh, yeah," The bluenette said getting his phone out to read the email again. It read:

A new transfer student is going to join your class tomorrow. The student may look a bit different, but I expect you all to act normal and not make a big deal out of it.

"An assassin, obviously," The class's pitcher said sighing.

Okajima walked up behind him. "Yeah, but it's not a teacher this time..."

"That means an assassin our age, not old like Ms Vitch."

"Eyeah.. I was curious about that 'looking different' comment, so I asked for a picture," Okajima said pulling out his phone and bringing up a picture of the new student. She had dark blue eyes and bright pink hair.

"Hey, a girl!" Sugino said perking up, "Cute, too! Doesn't look different to me, or like an assassin."

[Meanwhile with Kataoka and Kurahashi] (They're behind the boys)

"Oooh, I'm starting to get nervous.." The female class-rep said.

"I hope we get along with her.." Kurahashi said.

[Time skip] (Now we're at the classroom)

"Well..?" Sugino said walking into the classroom happily, "Is she here?"

His eye caught a big, black box in the back of the room. It rumbled and then it spoke. "Good morning," The girl from earlier appeared on the screen, "My name is 'Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery. I am the new transfer student. Nice to meet you."

And just like that the screen went into sleep-mode.

Karasuma arrived after a few minutes. "Class, this is our new student," Mr. Karasuma said forcing a smile, "Her name is 'Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery'. She's from Norway."

The girl appeared on the screen again. "Nice to meet you."

Korosensei was on the right on Karasuma laughing. "Stop laughing!" Karasuma said angrily, "This is no occasion for mirth! You're no better than her!"

Zi walked in just as Korosensei was about to protest. "Hey," He said calmly, "What's that?" He pointed to the black box.

Karasuma sighed. "The new student.. 'Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery'."

Meanwhile, Korosensei continued laughing. This irked Karasuma. "Let me remind you.. 'She' might be a computer, she might have a complex A.I., and yes, she might be an assassin, but she is also a registered student. And according to your contract, you can't harm a student."

Korosensei giggled some more. "I see, using the contract against me by enrolling a computerized weapon as a student," He sighed, "Okay, then! Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery, welcome to class E!"

And with that class began.. [1st period]

Whispers filled the room.

"How's she going to attack?"

"What?"

"Is this a joke?"

Kayano leaned over to Nagisa. "'Fixed Artillery', huh? I don't see any guns.."

Nagisa pondered this for a moment. "Maybe.."

"Maybe the guns are hidden. I mean, come on she is an assassin after all.." Zi said from across the room.

All eyes were on the A.I. waiting to see her attack style.

Suddenly, guns popped out of either side of her. Big guns. And almost immediately she fired all around, hitting every inch of the classroom, trying to land a hit on Korosensei.

Korosensei dodged the bbs with ease. Dodged a few here and there then flicked one away with his chalk. After the shooting was over, prideful, he said, "Wow. Four shotguns and two machine guns. An impressive barrage, but my students have a shot at me like this every day, too."

Then worried, he said, "By the way, students aren't allowed to shoot me during class."

The girls face appeared on the screen again. "I will be careful. Preparing for next attack.."

Zi sighed. "It's probably going to be the same attack, then finding a blind spot in one of his movements so it'll be out of his sight range.. Simple, really."

Nagisa and Kayano stared at him. "How do you even know this?"

"I like robots."

Meanwhile the Fixed Artillery began its next attack. "Recalculating trajectory.. Adjusting firing angle. Advancing to self-evolution phase 5-28-02."

Guns popped out of the box again, and green stripes appeared on Korosensei's face. "Not following instructions, eh?"

Korosensei dodged the same attack again. With ease, with pride. It's just when he flicked the one bb away with his chalk.. There was another bb behind it. That caught him by surprise. And as a result, it cut his finger, er, tentacle off, leaving everyone in awe.

"Called it," Zi said leaning back in his chair.

"Right tentacle fingertip destroyed," The robot said taking note of what happened, "The newly added secondary gun has proven effective."

"She learns how her target defends itself, then upgrades her weapons and programming until her target is cornered," Everyone turned to Zi, "See? Simple."

Stupid smart people...

"The probability of killing you with next attack is less than 0.001 percent. Probability of killing you with the following attack is less than 0.003 percent," The robot smiled at Korosensei, "Probability of killing you by the end of graduation is more than 90 percent."

She then gave Korosensei a close-eye smile. "I'm looking forward to being a member of this class, Korosensei. Moving to next attack."

She pulled out a few more guns and began to fire. "Two bullets skimmed past the target. Recalculating adding four more primary weapons to compensate for target's point of evasion."

She fired again. This time it was harder for Korosensei to dodge, but he still successfully wasn't scratched.

"An evolving Fixed Artillery, huh?" Irina said, standing in the hall, "Impressive."

"She's just shooting BBs, but her operating system state-of-the-art military technology," Karasuma said, noting her abilities, "Say," he turned to Irina, "How do you know that kid?"

Irina knew who he was referring to. "It's none of your business," she said walking away.

[End of the day]

"We have to clean this up?" The male class rep said scanning the floor, now covered in BBs.

"Don't you have an auto-broom or something, Miss Fixed Artillery?" Muramatsu asked the female robot.

After no reply, the blonde of Terasaka's group clicked his tongue. "Forget it."

"No use talking to a machine," Yoshida said staring at Ritsu's blank screen.

Nagisa sighed. "I can't believe she kept that up for the whole day..."

"Yeah," Kataoka walked up behind him, "Now look where she got us."

[The next day]

The robot's screen glowed and revealed the face of the girl that was, oh so, familiar. "Eight thirty a.m. Initiate startup. Today's schedule: Execute 215 types of attacks by sixth period. Continue analyzing Korosensei's evasive patterns to-"

She stopped talking and was looking at the tape that kept her from deploying her guns. "Korosensei, my guns cannot deploy like this. Please release me."

Everyone looked at her, hoping that their teacher wouldn't release her.

"Umm... I understand your discomfort, but-"

"Unacceptable. This is clearly an act of harm perpetrated on a student, and you are not permitted to do that, are you?"

"He isn't," Everyone turned to Terasaka, "Being in class with you is a pain in the butt..." He said while twirling some tape around his fingers, "You need to learn some common sense before you start assassinating people, scrap-metal girl."

Sugaya tilted his head to look at the robot. "But you can't expect a machine to understand common sense."

Hara looked behind her. "We'll free you after class."

"I don't blame him.." Sugino said glancing at Zi, "We can't study if she keeps trying to assassinate him all day like yesterday."

[The next day]

The class pitcher, Nagisa and Zi were walking into the classroom having recalled the events of yesterday. "Hey," Sugino peered over to Nagisa, "Do you think she's still her today?"

The bluenette thought for a moment. "Probably.."

"We need to talk to Karasuma; We can't get anything done with her in the classroom!"

Sugino opened the door to enter their classroom, then they realized something was up with the new 'transfer' student. "She..." Sugino thought for a moment, trying not to sound rude, "Gained weight?"

Zi looked into the classroom and shook his head. "Nah.. More like upgraded."

Her screen lit up and revealed a bright, beautiful girl, unlike yesterday's robotic soldier. "Good morning! Nagisa, Zi, Sugino!"

What?

"Okay," Zi said walking into the classroom, "That's not the kind of upgraded I thought it would be."

Korosensei appeared behind the bluenette and the pitcher. "A life-size LCD display employing modeling software to show off her new avatar! Made from scratch for less than $800!"

Zi chuckled. "It sounds like you're giving away a new car model or something."

"What a beautiful morning!" She said smiling, "I can't wait to share it with you!"

Korosensei pulled out his wallet. "Hey, how much would you pay for a state-of-the-art A.I.? She smiles, she laughs, she shoots missiles! $1000? $2000? $10000?"

Nagisa and Sugino stared at him confused.

"All I have left after paying from those upgrades is five cents.."

[Later that day]

"It's beautiful outside; summer's right around the corner." The Fixed Artillery said looking around.

Isogai and Mimura looked at her.

"She turned awfully cute overnight," The male class-rep said confused.

"This is the Fixed Artillery, right?"

Terasaka growled from his seat. "Whatever... Don't fall for her. It's just been reprogrammed by that octopus. No matter how cute it looks, it's still just a machine... I bet that piece of junk will start blasting away any time now."

The one he was insulting turned towards him sniffling. "I understand how you feel, Terasaka. I was a piece of junk.. Yesterday. But not now."

The robot was now crying her virtual eyes out. Kataoka and Hara stood by to comfort her.

"Hey, you made her cry!" The female class-rep said.

Hara turned to Terasaka and put her hand on her hip. "You made a 2D girl cry!"

The one they were scolding protested. "Well, when you say it like that I sound like a jerk!" Terasaka looked at Zi, as if asking for help.

Zi sighed from his seat. "She may not have real emotions, but she can act. And if they want to comfort her to treat her as a normal student, then just let them be. But then again, not everyone will accept her right away," He said peering over to Terasaka.

Takebayashi steadied his glasses. "So her double Ds aren't real? I don't have a problem with that, do you?"

Maehara, Sugino, and Okajima were now staring at him with wide-eyes. "Takebayashi, you sure you want those to be your first lines in this series?!"

The Fixed Artillery dried her eyes. "Don't worry everybody. Korosensei helped me realize the importance of cooperating with others," She looked up and smiled at everyone, "I will do my best to be your friend and work together with you to assassinate Korosensei."

"Please try to get along," Korosensei said lifting up his tentacle, "And yes, although I did upgrade her, she is still programmed to assassinate me. So if you want to kill me, I'm sure she'll be a powerful ally."

[Later]

"Okay, Sugaya," Their teacher said, "There are two types of cells in the retina. The thin rod cell and the...?"

Sugaya lifted his head up from his desk. "Me? Ah, crap..."

Sugaya saw a blinking light out of the corner of his eye and turned to it. It was the Fixed Artillery. She was pointing to her thigh, and written on her thigh was 'Cone cell'. "Um.. Cone cell."

"Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery! You can do that!" Korosensei said waving his tentacles up in the air.

"But you programmed me to help others," The robot protested.

"Cheating isn't helping!"

[Later (Again)]

"Wow..." Kurahashi whispered staring at the statue the robot made.

"I didn't know you could make things," Okano said looking at the statue in awe.

"Yes," The robot replied, "I have a state-of-the-art 3D printer. I can make just about anything-"

"Like guns."

Everyone who was crowded around the upgraded Fixed Artillery turned their heads to Zi, who was still showing no emotion to the things the robot has done for the past hour.

"Know-it-all."

Zi smirked. "If I know things, it'll come in handy in assassinating Korosensei."

Yada turned back to the robot. "Can you make flowers?"

"Hmm..." The robot took a moment to think, "I'll need more data on flowers... Checkmate, Chiba."

While showing off her 3D printer, the robot was playing chess with Chiba, the sniper of 3E. "Only her third game and she beat me already.. Unbelievable."

Sugino and Kayano were standing by watching the class get along with the robot. "I never thought she'd become so popular..." The class pitcher stated.

"Tell me about it... She can even transform. Is there anything she can't do?"

Korosensei was standing behind the two, listening to their conversation. "Oh no..."

Nagisa turned his head towards his teacher. "What is it?"

"What about me?!"

"What about you?" -_-"

Korosensei flew over to the other students "Look everyone!"

Once everyone had turned to look at him he continued. "I can display a human face on my body, too!" The colours on his face changed until it looked somewhat like a human. "I can just change the colours, like so..."

"Creepy!"

Kataoka, ignoring their crying teacher behind them, made a decision. "Shouldn't we come up with a new name for her? 'Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue."

"Yeah."

"Let's see.. Maybe we can use a Kanji from her full name..."

"'Jiritsu' means 'Autonomous'."

"The Kanji for Ritsu means 'Sincere'- And that's a regular name, too."

Fuwa popped up in front of the robot. "Why don't we just call her 'Ritsu'?"

"Perfect!"

"You okay with that?" Maehara asked the robot.

She smiled. "It's wonderful! Please, call me 'Ritsu' from now on!"

Nagisa and Zi were sitting at Zi's desk overviewing the situation. "She's fitting in nicely," The bluenette said seeing the smiles on everyone's faces.

"I don't know about that," Zi said looking up from his book.

"Hm?"

"Like Terasaka said.. It's only a program made by Korosensei. It's not like machine has a will of it's own," He paused, "What she does isn't up to her. It's in the hands of her developers."

[The next day]

"Good morning, everybody."

Everyone in Class 3E was staring at Ritsu in awe. Just yesterday she was all happy-go lucky, and now.. She was just the way she was before.

Karasuma stood beside the machine. "The programmers complained that your 'upgrades' were harmful," He turned to Terasaka, "And you, tape her up or cause her to malfunction again, and they'll sue you for damages." He sighed. "Sorry, but my hands are tied. They're cramping my style.."

Korosensei scratched his head. "I'm here for the students, not the parents."

Ritsu narrowed her eyes at Korosensei. "Proceeding to attack phase. You may begin your class when ready, Korosensei."

The class started and everyone was waiting for Ritsu to start shooting so they could quickly take cover. Their hands were already on their books, or whatever they could use to cover themselves. Once they all heard the sound metallic movement, they quickly ducked. But instead of bullets going everywhere...

They saw flower petals.

They looked back at Ritsu, who had bouquets coming out of where her guns should be. "I promised I'd make flowers," She said calmly.

The flowers then disappeared and Ritsu continued talking. "Korosensei installed 985 upgrades. Most were considered 'unnecessary for my primary assassination'. So they were thoroughly deleted from my memory. But in Class E I've learned the importance of cooperation and friendship. So I hid those programs in a corner of my memory where they couldn't be deleted."

A circle appeared on Korosensei's face. "Wonderful.. In other words you..."

The face of Ritsu they remembered from yesterday appeared again with a smile. "Yes.. I disobeyed my parents!"

She opened her eyes and looked at Korosensei. "Korosensei, this is what people call a 'rebellious' stage, isn't it? Will I get grounded?"

The red circle was still on Korosensei's face. "No.. This is an appropriate act of self-determination for a third year junior high student."

[Later]

"Hey, hey Ritsu!" Rio whispered. When Ritsu's face appeared on the screen the girls around giggled. "We need you to figure out what kind of things Zi likes to do."

Ritsu cocked her head to the side. "Why?"

"We're trying to get Kanzaki a date with the guy, the only problem is we don't know what he likes to do!"

"Oh! Okay! Then I can monitor him for.. Let's say a week?"

Rio looked at Kanzaki, who nodded in defeat. "Yeah, we'll be back next week, and then you can tell us what you've figured out, okay?"

Ritsu nodded. "I hope the best for you and Zi, Kanzaki!"

Kanzaki blushed. "T-Thanks.."
