Chapter 62：Leave! (1/2)
Two days before the eve of chaos, in the Katsuragi family's abode.
They held another meeting because of the blunder.
”So, I heard he was still attending school.” Katsuragi Akagi looked at all of his subordinates.
”Ye-yes.” His secretary answered. ”One of the assassins managed to get away and told us about this.”
”So even with two groups, he could still escape? Tell me the details.” He glared with killing intent.
”Yes. According to the assassin, the first group attacked first before the second group did. If they had attacked him together, he would have died, since the second group managed to heavily injure him.”
”Such useless groups. Kill the survivor. My Katsuragi family does not need useless people,” He commanded without mercy.
”Understood. However, you must know about this first, Master. It seems that he had gotten help from a teacher called Shirotsuka Sanae. She is his homeroom teacher,” she informed.
”...What about her details?”
”She was a former member of Snake Elite Corps. She was on par with an elite A-rank magician despite having a C rank. However, because of the loss of her friend, she retired from the front lines and became a teacher.”
”...Snake Elite Corps… it was one of the ten most elite corps in our country, right?”
”Yes.” The secretary nodded.
Katsuragi Akagi contemplated for a while before coming to a conclusion. ”Are our forces ready?”
”Yes, we are ready to move anytime.” She nodded.
”How about the jamming device?”
”It is already in our aircraft carrier, ready to be transported.”
”Good. Prepare our forces and have them move to our base. We will move tomorrow morning.”
”Understood…” The secretary nodded, but she suddenly felt something wrong. ”From your tone… Master, are you going to lead this operation?”
”Since even the assassins are useless, I will lead this operation to make sure he and Tasha Carter die. We will kill both of them swiftly before the south's family can move. No matter what, Kai Carter and Tasha Carter need to die in two days.”
”Yes. I will immediately order the troops.” She nodded.
”Also… send all the assassins in the Tokyo region to kill that teacher. Failure won't be tolerated.” He said with an annoyed tone.
”Understood.” She nodded.
”All right. Disband!”
The people inside started leaving the meeting room.
However, when Ikeda Kenzo was about to leave, he was stopped by Katsuragi Akagi.
”Kenzo-dono.”
”Mhmm?” He looked at Katsuragi Akagi with a frown.
”I need to talk to you.” Katsuragi Akagi looked at him with a serious expression.
Ikeda Kenzo looked at his serious expression and nodded his head. ”Sure.”
…
The next day, at night.
Shirotsuka Sanae already made her way toward the Yajima House. Of course, she taught the class during the day to avoid any suspicions. After the class, she immediately changed her suit to her elite uniform and went to Gunma.
She looked at the surroundings of the Yajima House. It seemed that the defense was pretty lax, but she found that only one area had a few elites stationed there. It immediately piqued her interest as she felt that the room must be pretty special.
She observed the room from afar, trying to observe the defense and situation. Although the defense was pretty tight, she noticed a few gaps in this formation.
'Hm… they are elites indeed, though they're still not my match,' she thought in acknowledgment as she finished her observation.
She then started advancing into the Yajima House carefully. When she was close to the room, she used her wind to scout what was inside and found someone inside. She was a bit surprised to find Yajima Haruko there.
With that, she decided to enter the room. She slowly opened the ceiling of Yajima Haruko's room and saw her crying in the corner of the room. There were untouched plates with food. Yajima Haruko looked so weak because she had yet to eat these past two days.
Shirotsuka Sanae didn't have time to figure out what she was thinking. She immediately came down from the ceiling and leaped toward her.
