The one hundred sixtieth chapter widens the net around Korosensei. The government readies a colossal new weapon, Principal Asano weighs the teacher's future, and Karasuma quietly offers Irina a way out of the assassin's life.
Summary
Irina treats Karasuma to a meal in a private room she has booked, confessing that she doubts Korosensei can be spared so easily. Karasuma realizes she arranged the setting to probe what the authorities intend, and he reveals that an enormous killing scheme is taking shape. Elsewhere, officials marvel at a towering weapon they believe can finally destroy their target, and they summon a man called Craig Hojo to hear the plan's finer points.
On the old campus, Principal Asano swings at Korosensei, who is gazing at a photograph of Aguri Yukimura, and docks his pay. Recognizing the departed woman in the picture, Asano praises her devotion and skill in the classroom. Confident that the odds of Korosensei detonating are now slim, he asks whether the octopus would return to teach the next year. Korosensei gently declines but admits that part of what drew him to the work was having Asano as a worthy opponent, and the principal muses that an ideal school would let him govern the elite while instructors like Korosensei lift up the strugglers.
Late that evening, Irina confesses she would almost rather the planet be destroyed than watch either a state or freelance killing succeed, sparing everyone the crushing sense of defeat. Karasuma urges her to give up assassination, judging her too kindhearted for it. She draws a pistol and is disarmed at once. As a route away from her bloody past, he offers her a post at the Ministry of Defense and, in a roundabout way, invites her to share his home, which leaves her badly flustered.
Key Events
Karasuma discloses that a massive government plot to kill Korosensei is underway, and Craig Hojo is brought in to oversee a huge new weapon. Principal Asano invites Korosensei to keep teaching, which he declines. Karasuma then persuades Irina to consider leaving the trade and offers her a job and, obliquely, a life with him.
Notes
Valentine's Time, After School is the one hundred sixtieth chapter, twenty pages long and part of Volume 18. It closes the Valentine's sequence, introduces Craig Hojo, and leads into Pride Time.
