The students are given weapons specially designed to hurt the creature and are offered a reward of ten billion yen to whoever can assassinate him before graduation. However, none of the students are able to assassinate him due to his Mach 20 speed. Class bully Ryōma Terasaka convinces Nagisa Shiota to wear a grenade filled with pellets. When the creature gets sleepy after assigning the students to write a poem, Terasaka detonates the grenade once Nagisa comes within close range of the creature, but the creature sheds his skin to protect himself and Nagisa from the blast.

Koro-sensei encourages Sugino to focus on his own strengths for future attempts of assassination.

After hearing word from Nagisa that Koro-sensei worships the octopus, Karma leaves a dead octopus on Koro-sensei's desk. However, Koro-sensei cooks it into takoyaki to ridicule Karma. Throughout the day, Koro-sensei manages to anticipate every prank Karma tries to pull. As a last resort, Karma jumps off a cliff with a gun in hand, which would determine if Koro-sensei would risk his life for a student or would destroy his pride as a teacher.

After being seduced by her, Nagisa shares all of his notes about Koro-sensei's weak points to Irina. When Koro-sensei returns, Irina ropes him into the storage shed, so that her team of assassins can kill him.

Later, the students of Class 3-E are forced to travel from their old campus and head to the main campus to endure a school assembly.

Having noticed how Nagisa stood up to Nobuta and Chōsuke, Gakuhō tells Koro-sensei to adhere to his educational system, which requires Class 3-E to be at its poorest to encourage the other students. Noticing the students of Class 3-E only caring about the bounty reward rather than getting high grades, Koro-sensei issues the ultimatum of leaving and destroying the school, should any of the students fail to score well enough in the midterm exams to rank among the top fifty students. During the midterm exams, the students of Class 3-E use what they learned from Koro-sensei's teaching methods to tackle each question they come across. However, they are stopped in their tracks by questions that Gakuhō had added at the last minute without informing Class 3-E of the changes, resulting in none of the students other than Karma ranking among the top fifty students.

Later that evening, Red Eye is approached by Koro-sensei himself, who treats Red Eye to a meal, thanking him for making the field trip a valuable learning experience for his students due to his assassination efforts.

Episode 10: Irina is caught off guard by retired Russian assassin Lovro Brovski, her former master, who advises her to give up trying to kill Koro-sensei. Instead, Koro-sensei proposes a match between Irina and Lovro to see who will be the first to "kill" Karasuma with a rubber knife, offering Karasuma his own incentive should neither of them win. Despite Lovro's doubts after he fails to "kill" Karasuma himself, Irina manages to use what she has learned targeting Koro-sensei to get close, with Karasuma accepting defeat at her hands and Lovro acknowledging her efforts. Nagisa, Karma and Ritsu later agree to accompany Koro-sensei at Mach 20 speed on a trip to Hawaii to watch the premiere of a new movie, getting a lecture along the way and learning a lot more about Koro-sensei's point of view. On their way back, a man in a white cloak observes alongside a boy, the second transfer student who claims to be Koro-sensei's younger brother.

The man in the white cloak named Shiro enters the classroom and introduces the boy named Itona Horibe, who surprises the other students with his relation to Koro-sensei. When Itona faces against Koro-sensei later that day, Koro-sensei is overwhelmed by the fact that Itona possesses tentacles in his hair. While Shiro uses his knowledge of Koro-sensei's weaknesses to give Itona the advantage, Koro-sensei counterattacks with rubber knives to push Itona out of the ring, thereby winning the match. Itona goes berserk after seeing himself as weak, so Shiro knocks him unconscious and carries him out of the classroom. The students interrogate Koro-sensei about his true origins, but he remains tight-lipped, stating that they must continue their mission in order to find the answers that they seek.
