Tournament - Korosensei vs. The Music Meister

The Octave of Assassination: Korosensei vs Music Meister

The day began like any other at Class 3-E's isolated mountaintop schoolhouse. Korosensei was teaching his usual afternoon lessons, multiple tentacles working simultaneously as he corrected math problems, demonstrated proper knife technique, and prepared tomorrow's quiz.

Then the music began.

It started as a gentle melody drifting through the old PA system – something so subtle that even Korosensei didn't immediately recognize the danger. His students' eyes glazed over one by one, their movements becoming eerily synchronized as a theatrical voice filled the room.

"♪ Testing, testing, one, two, three, A class of assassins, all for me! Each pupil trained in dealing death, Now moving to my sonic breath! ♪"

The students rose in perfect unison, their anti-sensei weapons glinting in the afternoon sun. Korosensei's permanent smile remained fixed, but his tentacles tensed as he assessed the situation.

"♪ Teacher, teacher, time to learn A lesson that will make you squirm! Your speed won't save you from our song, As we prove where your weakness lay all along! ♪"

"Nurufufufu! A musical assassin? How innovative!" Korosensei remarked, dodging the first wave of attacks. "Though I must point out that interrupting class time will affect your grade!"

The voice through the speakers grew stronger: "♪ Your precious students dance to my song, Each movement precisely where they belong! Their assassination skills enhanced by my voice, Now you face an impossible choice!

Watch them move with deadly grace, As music guides them through time and space! Their training amplified by my melodic might, Your greatest strength becomes your plight! ♪"

The controlled students moved with uncanny precision. Karma and Nagisa attacked in perfect synchronization, their movements enhanced by the hypnotic melody. Kayano and Okuda launched a coordinated assault of chemicals and blades, while Ritsu's screen pulsed with disorienting frequencies.

The students' voices joined in an eerie chorus: "♪ We are the weapons that you forged, The skills you taught now become your scourge! Every lesson that you gave, Now leads you to your sonic grave! ♪"

Korosensei moved at Mach 20, but each time he tried to track the music's source, Music Meister orchestrated deadly scenarios throughout the classroom. Sugino wound up to throw an anti-sensei baseball while Kayano was being positioned to step into its path. Chiba and Hayami's rifles were aimed so their shots would create a crossfire with Karma and Nakamura caught in the middle. Even Okuda's chemicals were being used strategically - if Korosensei didn't intervene, the controlled students would mix them into dangerous combinations. The entire class had become unwilling actors in Music Meister's performance, each movement choreographed to force their teacher into impossible choices.

"♪ Round and round the classroom goes, Where he'll stop, the music knows! Every exit blocked with care, Sonic traps set everywhere! ♪"

The yellow teacher rushed to the broadcast room, only to find a portable speaker playing a recorded track. Music Meister's laugh echoed from a different direction entirely:

"♪ Running blind through sonic waves, As each false lead your time enslaves! Each speaker holds a different tune, While your students spell your doom! ♪"

The mastermind was moving throughout the building, his voice transferring seamlessly between speakers, using the old school's architecture to create a maze of sound. Even at Mach 20, hitting a moving target while protecting twenty-seven students was proving to be a considerable challenge.

"♪ Technology and talent combined, A symphony so well designed! Each false lead and every feint, Makes your famous speed grow faint! ♪"

Korosensei's tentacles blurred as he simultaneously had to catch falling students, deflect wayward knives, and neutralize the spreading chemical fog from Okuda's enhanced concoctions. The controlled class had formed strategic patterns, forcing their teacher into increasingly tight spaces.

Music Meister's triumph rang through every speaker: "♪ Caught between duty and survival, Your options shrink with each arrival! These walls have ears, these speakers sing, Your students dance on sonic string!

The greatest teacher meets his match, In melodies he cannot catch! No lesson plan can save you now, As music makes your students bow! ♪"

The entire school had become a concert hall of chaos. Every movement Korosensei made was countered by a perfectly timed student attack. Each time he thought he'd located Music Meister's true position, another student would be put at risk, requiring his immediate attention.

"♪ Round and round the chase continues, As your options shrink to few! Save one student, lose my trail, Your noble heart's designed to fail! ♪"

Korosensei's eternal grin remained, but his tentacles were beginning to show signs of strain from the constant precision movement required to keep his students safe while pursuing his quarry. The hypnotic music swelled to a crescendo as the controlled students closed in, their weapons forming a gleaming cage around their teacher.

"Nurufufufu!" Korosensei chuckled, even as he dodged another perfectly coordinated assault. "I must admit, using my own students' skills against me is quite the strategy. Perhaps we could discuss this over gelato?"

Music Meister's voice resonated through every corner of the building: "♪ The final verse is drawing near, As victory hovers oh so dear! Will speed trump song? Will duty fall? Who'll answer victory's final call? ♪"

I'm a sucker for musicals and music themed matchups. I personally feel they're a little more difficult to write than your basic set up. I'm also being rather bias as I was going to do a musical matchup as well. Great story and song. Korosensei will get through this obstacle.

Agree wirth the consensus. Korosensei is a step above Music Meister.

A very enjoyable read. Music Meister is great, but I don't think he succeeds here.
