Information technology was clear that the Reaper hands overwhelmed Korosensei with his speed of Mach twoscore, leaving him barely able to defend himself. Shiro soon joined the fight having injected himself with modified tentacle cells.

When Korosensei started to effectively dodge the pair's attacks, the Reaper was ordered by Shiro to attack the helpless students.
