”Ah, cleaning is really a chore”
A slender boy, who looked al back, and returned to sweeping with his broo complains:
”Hoonderful would it be if I had a Maxun (a name of a machine) to help me sweep!”
However, it was nothing but a fantasy A Maxun costs a lot ofa minor with randoo to school
The da everyday, and he often found hiuava in his hands
What? Bo a school is iuava? What do you think a guava is, a hand grenade?
Hrenade It would be nice even if he could afford a guava to break the school'sBut seriously, the reinforced glass in the school can't be broken by a single guava
Upholding his principle of not letting anything go to waste, the guava was, of course, saved every time, and later became his after meal fruit
Pzz!
The boy frowned, as that strange sound? Could be the pre-owned auto, tu ancient, washi+ng Maxun was giving hiain?
Oh no! The boy rushed anxiously to check the condition of the washi+ng Maxun, because his only re uniform was inside If he loses his last uniform, he would have to wear underwear to school
Before the boy reached the Maxun, he already knew the sound had absolutely nothing to do with the pitiful e, colourful whirlpool appeared beside hian to distort…
”Goddamht?” The boy looked around the distorted space helplessly
The boy wondered if the sa to kill hi to lead to this?”
Despite his complaints, the boy decided he wanted to live, so he hurriedly backed away from the distorted space
When he was just about to juh his right foot was already on thepane, he couldn't help but look at the strange phenomenon behind him
The whirlpool started expanding outward, suddenly a ray of light e the entire room…
”Holy sht!” The boy could not help but curse in his native dialect His eyes had been blinded by the light
He desperately shook his head, trying to shake off the dizziness caused by the light The boy cursed: ”da kill a cat”
Even though he was blinded, he could still soes around hie feeling of the surrounding space gradually dissipated
Instead of the whirlpool, there stood a person! The boy grabbed the gun on the table, and without looking, ai his senses
”Who is it?”
The boy's eyes was recovering and he could see the person's outline Judging from the person's outline, he doesn't seeosu aren't the muscular type He asked carefully, but at the saun at the person[T/N: Gosu – A Korean terhly skilled person]
Who knew the whirlpool would spit out yet another person, who had a really strong reet the person who arrived before
”Master, why don't you give up now The organisation will not let you go, so it's better to die in my hands”
The second person who hadby the voice, the person was a woman
”Yasha, the , and it's not so a real assassin should do” The so-called Master plainly corrected the student's mistake
”Shut up!” Yasha yelled, her buried anger surfacing She will never be this person's subordinate, never!
The legendary perfect assassin will be stopped by her, and she will take over the title as the best assassin! Killing hi as she kills the Master who started her to the path of being an assassin, she will be become best assassin!
The two silently stood facing each other Other than the sound of the Master's blood dripping, everything else seemed like the calm before a storm… A duel to death was about to start!
”Oh hat are you two doing in sos I don't understand, and now you're all quiet Hey! If you guys are going to fight go outside! If you break anything in my house, I swear I will make you pay, and I ht, and saw aeach other
They were both cold as ice The boy curiously observed
The guy was tall and slender, wearing black clothes Together with his black hair, he looked cooes, he had an oval face, whichwith his silver iris, thispeople The boy shi+vered
The woht red hair was paired together with green eyes This strange colamorous The only problem as her eyes, they felt really cold
The boy shook his head and sighed
But! What these two people look like had nothing to do with him More i him
He was afraid of anything being broken inside his hoo on trial for two murders in his home
Yasha moved suddenly Perhaps it shouldn't be called move, because she disappeared where she stood, and then suddenly appeared in front of the man The razor in her hand had already silently cut his throat…
”damn, really?” The boy stared in awe, he had already been decapitated? The
‘Sht, I ent to clean off the blood off the ground’
However, there wasn't even a half drop of blood It turned out thebut a shadow
Surprised, Yasha immediately turned around to see if the ently pressed on her neck To be exact, as holding her neck wasn’t a hand, but rather, just two fingers
But Yasha knew clearly that these two fingers were enough to take her life!
”Hehehe…” Yasha wasn't scared, but rather, she started laughing, and sarcastically asked the person behind her
”What? The so-called ‘best assassin’ isn't brave enough to killany pain… Because before they have felt anything they would already beHades!”
The man stayed silent
”Don't be stupid, Master An assassin will always be an assassin” Yasha's voice turned cold, and pushed away the man's hand without any fear
She said coldly: ”You will break the promise with that person An assassin can never not kill! Especially you, Master”
The man stood quietly; his face remained the same—expressionless!
”I will not kill you today, but one day, I will” Yasha’s lips suddenly turned into a dangerous and seductive smile
”Master, kill me today, otherwise I will continue you hunt you down for as long as I live”
If she could get the Master to break the promise with that person, even if the price was her life, she illing to do it
The man said dismissively: ”Leave, Yasha I will not kill people”
”Hmph!” ‘Is that person really important to you? damn!’
Yasha’s face revealed a jealous expression The person who attention to was her! She was Master's only apprentice
”Froer my Master, but an ene, she turned to leave
But… ‘Where is this?’ She finally realised the strangeness of the room
The boy who helplessly held a gun said
”As the 'him as if he was transparent
If he could understand what they were saying, then at least he could watch them like a Soap Opera: the love and hate between ato watch’
But the proble!
”Open the door and let me out! Else you'll die” Yasha said coldly, then knitted her eyebrows and looked at the confused boy
‘Was she talking to hied, and walked to the central processing Maxun he uses everyday
He picked up so that looked like a safety helmet, walked in front of the woman, raised the hat to her, and said, ”Wear this”
Yasha frowned, without taking the safety helmet She didn't know if the boy means her any harm
The boy iesture of putting on a hat He proain: ”Put it on Hurry”
Yasha's face becaan to move…
The man, however, walked in towards the boy, took the hat from him, and put it on without any hesitation
Upon seeing his actions, the boy walked back to the central processing Maxun and pressed a few buttons on the transparent console Finally, he hit a button labelled 'Language Transmission'
The safety helhts shone, the htly
Being forced fed infores flashed through in his brain Nonetheless, he didn't h to rumble
After a while, the light on the safety helinal plain state Then when the boy started asked:
”Can you understand me now?”
The e as the boy: ”Yes”
”Good, noe don't have any communication barrier” The boy nodded satisfactorily
”I aan to explain
”I know!” The boy impatiently waved his hand and cut him off: ”From another dimension!”
The man was astonished: ”Yes…”
”Nowadays, even space isn't reliable People are falling out of different dimensions, and the media doesn't report it anymore”
The boy helplessly placed his ar why he was so unlucky, that these people arrived in his home What should he do now?
He was, after all, a really lazy person, so he decided to send these strangers to a shelter! The boy approved of his own decision, and said eagerly
”Because we have toofronated shelters for theuys will need to leave this place, take a left, cross two streets, get over a lake, through a park, and there will be a ement office Tell them you're from another dimension and they will settle you into a shelter”
The man was startled, and then said indifferently: ”I don't need to go to a shelter I will ”
Upon hearing this, the boy became interested, and asked excitedly: ”Oh? What can you do?”
Maybe the man was the person who could rescue hier? Maybe he'll even live an elegant life? If that was the case, then it'll be great! With these kinds of thoughts, the boy's face began to brighten
Theup, becoht bulb
After being quiet for a while, he answered: ”I'm an assassin”
‘A-S-S-A-S-S-I-N?!’
As if to cohten too His face also began to show a flattering expression:
”Good, that profession is a proh-return profession!”
The assassin seemed confused, how could anyone describe his profession like this? But then he coain!”
Quietness settled the rooone in an instant He pointed at the door and said: ”Get the hell out, Mr Never-Kill-assassin”
Differential treatment was quite obvious The assassin walked to the door, only to see a set out
The boy yelled impatiently: ”Open sesame”
The door opened instantly The first person to walk out wasn't the assassin, but the wo, and with a deadly smile on her face, she said: ”Farewell, Master”
‘Yasha…’ The assassin felt relatively sad
”Hey, leave with your woman already Don't stand there and bleed! Do you know blood odors are really hard to clean?”
The irritated boy looked at the blood dripping fro!
Although he had many questions about where he was, the assassin didn't say iven the eviction notice
He quietly walked out, and the door mercilessly shut behind hie world he had never seen Was he nervous?
”assassin Rules 3: No matter where you are, always keep calm…” The assassin murmured
… Even if the buildings outside were all towering But as stranger was their design… No, the reason they are strange was because they had no design Doely twisted shapes could be seen The only word he could use them to describe them was 'total chaos'
… There were hundreds, no, thousands of bizarre he around in the sky If his eyes weren't playing tricks on hi objects, and there were people riding those Dragons
Despite being the strongest and coldest assassin, he had to take a few deep breaths to deal with all the unfahts
Slowly appeasing his nerves, the assassin began to think He was about 50 stories above the ground, and he couldn't find any for to the surface[T/N: 50 story is approximately 165 meters, 541 feet and 4 inches]
The flying objects around him were so erratic, it seemed like they could hit him at any time… What could he do?
Even for a level-headed assassin, felt the sadness co leaves (the assassin felt helpless)
”Why are you still here?” He heard the noisy boy's voice again
”I don't kno to get down” The assassin aloofly stated the truth
‘Yasha… She probably used a rope to get down’ Unfortunately, he had already used his rope when he was being chased
The boy mumbled: ”What a pain Why do I always run into trouble like this? I still have to go to work If I' to eat next month?”
The assassin remained silent He didn't respond to the boy's complaints
To hier like hi hi he was an assassin
The boy sighed exaggeratedly, and snappily yelled at the assassin: ”Come over here”
The assassin turned, and saw the boy walking into a transparent tube with a radius of about a round
The assassin's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down, only to find the boy was standing on the ground, looking back at him
Although the distance of about ten stories made it hard to see the boy's face, but it was certain the boy was safe
‘So this tube was a tool to get downstairs’ The assassin then stepped into the tube The fact there was nothing for him to step on, ed him down ten stories, made the assassin so nervous, his pupils dilated
The boy's face and loud voice were in front of the assassin again He began to complain with obvious dissatisfaction: ”Why are you so slow? Do you want to make me late? Hurry up”
The boy reached to pull the assassin If they don't hurry, then he really wouldn't have enough money to eat next month
However, the assassin moved away by reflex and escaped the boy's reach When the boy grabbed nothing but air, he just shrugged and said, ”Let's go”
The assassin scowled
This world was completely different Where he was fros were metal, roads were metal, and even the trees on the side of the roads looked like it was made out of metal!
”Are those real trees?” Although asking wasn't so assassins do, but he couldn't contain himself
The boy glanced at him, ”Of course not! Those are artificial trees, made to replace the real trees They convert carbon dioxide to oxygen Trees are luxuries, and the government would never plant them on the road,” the boy stated as a matter-of-fact
‘Trees… Are luxuries?’ The assassin srow as they please on the side of the roads and chopped for firewood?’
A hemisphere made out of metal slowly landed beside the two
The assassin noticed the similarity of the one he saw in the sky, except this one seeer than the others The s hole of about a h for a person to coh
”I have to pay for one overnment?” The boy said with dissatisfaction, and then beckoned the assassin:
”Hurry up You're so slow that you don't seem like an assassin” After he said those words, the boy stepped into the oblong-shaped hole
The assassin soon quietly followed his steps
Being alone in a strange world, there probably aren't many people who could keep as composed as he was, instead his speed suffered, and seemed to be slower than usual
The e oval, he suddenly realized the vehicle was transparent He could easily see the view of outside world It was as if the metal shell didn't exist at all
He could even see below his own feet… And it started to float!
”Come sit down; it's not like there's no seats available, so why are you standing?” The boy sat doithout any reserve, crossed his legs and leisurely patted the seat next to him
The assassin quietly sat down The boy still had his legs leisurely crossed, seeiven his handsome or cute appearance
”What's your name?” The boy asked carelessly; and then he realized he should probably introduce himself first, so he hurriedly added: ”My name is Kaiser”[T/N: He proceeded to explain which two Chinese characters his names were: Kai, and then Si as in the first character of ”driver”]
‘Kaiser…?’ The assassin smiled: ”Liola”[T/N: In the boy's initial explanation of his na Kai's Driver That's why the assassin found it funny and smiled]
”What a strange naether” Kaiser criticized mercilessly, and then moved onto another topic:
”So, what's your relationshi+p with the fiery red-head? Why did she seem like she wants to cut you into a thousand pieces? Don't tell nant and then dumped her? I don't have to tell you this… But, as a man, you have to be liable sos”
”No” Liola suddenly felt powerless The boy's iination was a bit too colorful: ”I'm her Master, not lover”
”Master?” Kaiser could not refrain froht
He thought Liola and the hottie were lovers ‘How could she be his apprentice? No er than her…’ Kaiser thought
”How old are you?” Kaiser asked bluntly
”Twenty five” Liola answered truthfully
”How old was the hottie?” Kaiser asked again
”Twenty seven” Liola thought about it for a while and answered As far as he remembers, Yasha o years older than him
Kaiser touched his forehead and said, ”You're twenty five, she's twenty seven, so you're two years younger; how come you're her master?”
”In the organization, the e, but on abilities” Liola concisely answered
After he finished explaining, he seemed to have sank into his memory
Yasha… Had she not been the precious daughter of the head of the organization, he wouldn't have had such a troublesome apprentice
”So to say, you're very strong?” Kaiser's eyes brightened again Strong people have monetary value
”I' back
”Ex-cell-ent!” Kaiser's put his hands heavily upon Liola's shoulders, looked at Liola hopefully, and whispered: ”Did you see the gentlelasses?”
Liola nodded without looking When he was getting on the bus, he already memorized who and ere inside
assassin Rule 5, no matter when and where, one s
”That guy is a really dangerous endary rank-X wanted man” Kaiser whispered excitedly
”This… What's exciting about this?” Liola remained confused
”If you catch him and collect the bounty placed on him, then I wouldn't have to worry about food or clothes for a long while”
Kaiser could not resist but indulge hi to worry about food or clothes It would be even better if he could turn the bounty into paper bills and use them to line a bed
He could only i on such a bed
Liola looked at the gentleman from the corner of his eye
Sure enough, the lasses had already looked at them His sharp eyes showed some disdain, and his mouth displayed a sinister smile
Kaiser was so loud, perhaps only the deaf could not hear!
”Let's get off at the next stop” Liola talked to Kaiser as though he was talking to the gentleman
”Good!” Kaiser's happy expression pressed Liola to glance at hi loud on purpose
As soon as they got off, Kaiser took out his gun Even though he dragged Liola with his went haywire, he could escape alive
With a head of blonde hair, blue eyes with gold-fra and harmless smile, and a black-and-white robe adorned with soe
After Kaiser assessed the ive it up now, or would you like for me to shoot you?”
Liola slightly frohen he sa calentleman was
The gentles, and not like soht At most, he looked like someone who plans evil scheuards
”You are sure I'm a rank-X wanted crientleht interest, and with a calaze onto Kaiser
Liola's heart skipped a beat
The person's eyes looked sianization
Both the gentleman and the leader have confidence shown in their eyes, as if they are somehow had total control of the situation
These were the kind of people ould always appear co on a battlefield and placed on thrones
”Miseroy, rank-X wanted crie, and unknown just about everything But the strange thing is, they knew exactly what he looked like It's rare for them to know the appearance of a rank-X wanted criminal” Kaiser explained
”Kaiser, are you sure you could catch hi His assassin instinct tells him they shouldn't mess with this person!
Kaiser turned around with an innocent look on his face, and moved his hands aside and said: ”He's a rank-X criminal, how could I possibly catch him?”
”Rank-X?” Facing this unfamiliar title, Liola suddenly feels uneasy
”Wanted crierous and F being the least” Kaiser explained carefully: ”But there's an addition rank, rank-X”
”How strong are they?” Liola frowned
”Her than rank-A Cri unrouped into rank-X There are only ten rank-X criain:
”The bounty for every rank-X is enors, it would be enough money for me to spend in ten lives I can't believe we ran into a rank-X today in a bus God treated me well”
‘Maybe God wants to kill you…’ Liola can't comprehend what's in Kaiser's mind
An assassin should always assess the opponent first, draw up a plan, and then put the plan into action It would be the wisest choice
”So, I guess we'll have to fight?” Mizerui said, still s
”Of course! Fordown and not do any work, you should sacrifice a little and go eat free meals in the Aklan jail!” Kaiser proclaimed
Without hesitation, he then raised his gun and fire it blank three tiesture, blew the suy: ”Surely rank-X criuns Liola, your turn”
Liola frowned Kaiser's three gunshots were accurate, but he fired the time But how did Mizerui stop those three bullets when they were about three meters away from him?
Liola didn't see Mizerui move, nor did feel any Ki waves fro into a rin
”You're a sorcerer?” Kaiser asked, surprised The situation becaerous
Mizerui blinked: ”Yep, do you want to try my powers out?”
Liola was still thinking What kind of powers could possibly round?
Suddenly, started to feel a heavy pressure on his body, as if he was carrying the sandbags he used when training to be an assassin
”Re-really heavy!” Kaiser was already down on the ground,
”Ten tih to make you fall?” Mizerui seemed surprised
Ten tiht ten tiraround
Mizerui started showing some interest in Liola
”Ten ti Fu naravity meant
Kaiser, as lying on the ground, raised his head and shouted: ”Idiot, this isn't Kung Fu He's a Sorcerer! A Sorcerer!”
”Sorcerer?” Liola still couldn't comprehend However, he knew the man in front of him wasn't easy to deal with In the past, he would've already cut his throat before the , but now…
”Twenty tiently
After Mizerui casted the spell, Liola's feet sunk a few centih he could still stand, his facial expressions changed
The weight was no longer sohtly Kaiser was in an even worse condition Kaiser couldn't talk, let alone raise his head, and blood was coe of his mouth
”This is so Fu!” Liola said with some difficulty
”I… already… told you… I-it's not… Kung Fu…” Even though he was dying, he forced himself to correct Liola
Liola used Fluttering Blood Ki skill he practiced for hter
Although Mizerui’s gravity spell still affected him, his speed was still unmatched by a normal person The most important and most basic attribute of an assassin—speed!
Liola instantly took out a thin silver stick hidden in his boots Because he can't kill, Liola did not use any deadlier weapons
He held up the stick and ran towards Mizerui He was es of black shadows
Truthfully, if he wasn't affected by Mizerui’s gravity spell, people won't even see those black shadows under the naked eye
Mizerui’s face showed traces fright for the first tiravity spell to the liravity within one meter of him to increase to a thousand times
The black shadow suddenly stopped and Liola appeared again The silver stick stopped its tracks in mid-air If someone were to measure it with a ruler, they would find the end of the stick had stopped at exactly one meter and one centimeter away from Mizerui
Mizerui’s forehead started sweating He couldn't believe Liola found out the range of his gravity spell He had underestimated his opponent
Liola only paused for a second, and took out a shuriken froh, the shuriken was not thrown directly at Mizerui Instead, it was aimed above his head, with a parabolic trajectory In other words, if Mizerui doesn't ravity[T/N: Shuriken is what throwing stars are called in japanese Used by ninjas Ex Naruto]
But Mizerui wasn't interested in adding a hole on his skull, not to mention the hole would probably extend all the way to his feet with because of the gravity and the momentum
