Time for the Master is the twenty-sixth chapter of Assassination Classroom and the opening installment of the fourth collected volume. Its recorded cast keeps the aging assassin Lovro in play beside Irina, Korosensei, and the full Class 3-E lineup.
Summary
Numbered as the twenty-sixth chapter, this piece runs under the English heading Time for the Master, given in Japanese as Shisho no Jikan. It debuted in the combined sixth and seventh issue for 2013, hitting shelves in early January of that year, and later anchored the start of the fourth tankobon. The archived page holds the chapter's publication figures and appearance list rather than a summary of its plot.
Key Events
No spotlight character is flagged separately for this chapter, but the appearance roll centers on Lovro and Irina Jelavic in the company of Korosensei, the agent Tadaomi Karasuma, and a broad spread of Class 3-E students. Kaede Kayano and Yuma Isogai round out the roster. Since the wiki logs only who shows up rather than what unfolds, the story's individual moments are not recorded here.
Notes
The chapter covers nineteen pages and links Time for "L" and "R" ahead of it with Overcoming Shortcomings in Time after it. As the lead chapter of the fourth volume, it marks a fresh compilation break in the run. The source assigns no anime episode to this installment. Its title continues the pattern of Japanese chapter names that all end on the word meaning time.
