Summary
Serialized as the ninth chapter of Assassination Classroom, this installment goes by the Japanese name Otona no Jikan.

Key Events
The confirmed cast reaches deep into Class 3-E. Following Irina, students such as Yuma Isogai, Hinata Okano, and Hiroto Maehara feature early, and Korosensei surfaces in a flashback rather than the present. Late additions to the roll, including Ryunosuke Chiba and Kirara Hazama, round out a wide ensemble.
