Chapter 316: An end of a day
(Ryoto's pov)
Koro-sensei tapped everyone who was on top of him to let him stand up and while reluctantly and some with tears of happiness in their eyes, they all stood up in the end.
Mikan, Rito, and Rin hadn't seen Koro-sensei before, so they all reacted in their own way. Rin didn't have much of a reaction, though. Both of us have seen a lot of things in our lives. My siblings, however, were more expressive, with both of their eyes wide open, although Mikan was the first to calm herself down, and shortly after, Rito did as well. We both live with an alien, after all, and my eyes aren't human. I also don't remember if I ever mentioned Koro-sensei to them. I may or may not do that.
Now, free from his former students' clutches, Koro-sensei turned to me.
"Glad to see you again, Yuuki-kun. Truly, it is. I can't even believe that I'm able to say these words again, but seeing you again, I can only see how much you've grown as a person, and I couldn't be more proud."
Koro-sensei said to me with a gentle tone, and it nearly caused me to tear up. God dammit, you ninja and your onions.
But I also noticed how he said I had grown, and he didn't mean my height. He noticed the look in my eyes. An assassin recognized another assassin, but he also saw that I wasn't a cold machine made for killing. He could see that there was still warmth in my eyes despite my profession, not to mention my love for my family.
Just what I expected from Koro-sensei. He also didn't mention anything about it because of everyone around here.
"Despite my happiness, I would like to know how you managed the impossible and brought me back to life."
