Class President Asano, the Hero!
Guess who finally got her own copy of the Assassination Classroom Graduation Album! I haven’t seen any translations of the chapter for Asano’s future (if we can call it that), so here you go! Sorry for the ‘meh’ quality of the scans. I tried, but I’m not used to uploading scans. I like how it’s basically an Asano version of the ‘Korosensei Quest’ series, so we get to see him mess with vidoegame tropes too! [My comments are in brackets BTW]
Page 1:
Asano: “Wha…What am I doing in a place like this?”
Asano: “…Tsk! How tedious. Give me your sword!!”
Asano: “Look closely for when the enemy is about to strike, and then strike first!! Do it after his previous breath, understand!!?”
Knights: “Ye…Yes”
Kingdom Newspaper: “Our hero has arrived!!”
News blurb at the bottom: “Outbreak in slime population!!”
Asano: “….What’s with this sloppy public financing? Even if a Devil King doesn’t come, the nation is already on the verge of bankruptcy, is it not!? Call your minister! I’ll teach him, starting with the workings of economics!!” [I agree. Videogame economics make no sense. How can a poke-ball be more expensive than fresh water!?]
Page 2:
Asano: “You’re a princess too!! That you keep getting kidnapped over and over shows a lack of crisis management!! Nowadays, princesses shouldn’t be so naïve to think that smiling is the extent of their function!!” [Somebody needs to tell this to Princess Peach!]
Asano: “Giving me 50 gold pieces and a bronze sword as provisions, are you screwing with me!!? Starting with beating the foundation of your manufacturing industries into shape, I’ll give you quality supplies!!” [Asano, that’s how everybody’s supposed to start off in a video game. With junk! But sure, let’s change the system XD]
Asano: “All right everyone, follow me!! I’m getting used to managing this interesting group!!”
Narrator: “The hero Gakushu had no way of knowing…that the strongest demon king of all was beginning to awaken.”
My thoughts:
Looks like Gakuho’s a demon king too! I remember when ‘Korosensei Quest’ was first posted online and saw that Korosensei was a demon king, I was wondering what the Chairman could possibly be. I didn’t even consider the possibility that they could both be demon kings, but I guess this makes the most sense. They’ve always been two of a kind. Judging by what’s stated at the end of this mini-chapter though, it seems that Chairman Asano is stronger. If this chapter is anything to go by, it looks like he hasn’t aged a bit in the past seven years or so either!
One thing I didn’t notice until I typed this translation was that literally every sentence Gakushu utters (with the exception of the first) ends with double exclamation points. This kid has no chill XD I guess one thing he didn’t inherit from his father is his unshakably calm exterior. Maybe his hot-headed temperament is from his mother?
As goofy as this chapter is, I’d like to think it’s a bit of a metaphor for his future. He goes to a foreign land where things are much different from his hometown (i.e. Silicon Valley in America), gathers up his forces/employees, and makes his way through the inefficiencies of the government as he establishes his business. Heck if I know what the whole Demon King Gakuho bit at the end could represent though XD
