I woke up hopping out of bed and getting dressed. The sun shone brightly through the windows illuminating my room in a golden glow.
But I had no time to enjoy it so I grabbed some weapons of my desk. then I ran out of my dorm and off school property.
Upon arriving I noticed he had gathered a crowd. There was easily 40 people here to watch the fight. It made me wonder why so many people wanted to be assassins nowadays. Maybe they thought this was cool, but I had to live this life to survive, how did they get here?
"You ready Kamelio?" He asked, kinda taunting. I didn't care though because it pulled me from my thoughts, allowing me to focus on the task at hand.
"I was born ready." I barely got the words out when he was in my face. He kicked me to the ground, made me stand, and kicked me down again.
I tried to clip him but he jumped over my leg. Giving me just enough time to stand and go at it all the way. I threw a punch at him, catching him right as he was about to kick me. Then right when I thought all he knew was a kick he punched me back. I hated being on the losing end of a fight and with how this was going I might lose again.
I grabbed him and punched him repeatedly until I knocked him out of my grasp. Then once he fell he stood up and he swung back. Punching me in the face, but he didn't stop there. Instead, he followed up with a knee to my chin, a kick to my chest, and a headbutt.
"Is this honestly all you have?" He asked looking kind of shocked.
"No, I… Have…. More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" To my surprise my power was unleashing and it was starting to surround me like it did a few days ago. Thing is, I hadn't lost control. "I.. I can control it!"
"All you had to do was get your butt beat enough to where your power forcibly became usable without losing control." He said smiling.
"You lied to me. You will die for that!" I yelled. Then I smiled finally getting my confidence back. "You ready, Hendrix? I think this is the part where I win."
Hendrix gasped seeing I knew his name, i guess the principal doesn't tell everyone his name. but I was in his face before he could speak and I shoved my claw through his hand as he tried to block my attack.
I threw a punch at him, he dodged but he was in attacking range. Then I noticed I had a single sharp claw-like thing sticking out of my elbows. I knew what I'd do with them.
As he ran at me once more I kicked him in the air. Then as he fell back down I threw a elbow. He dodged midair, but he couldn't dodge the new extension of my elbow, and it left a huge gash across his stomach.
He fell and started gasping for air. I must've punctured one of his lungs or something.
"Thank you for all your training Hendrix." I said, smirking. "It's your time."
"Ka...melio." He tried to speak even though he was hurt badly.
"Don't speak. Just give up and die." I said, thrusting my claw through his face and pulling it out.
I had done it. I had completed my task. It was now time to go back and report to the principal.
As I started walking I noticed how everyone continued staring at Hendrix's corpse. I'm guessing they were still in shock since I took down someone who had become unbeatable in their eyes.
However, I ignored them, the reaction was to be expected. I just took down someone who was damn near a local legend to them. If It hadn't happened I'd still be unknown, unseen and unbothered. I kind of prefered being anonymous to whatever this is.
I snapped out of my thoughts as I felt bloodlust directed towards me from every direction. I had been walking and thinking instead of paying attention, rookie mistake if I'm being honest.
"YOU BASTARD!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!" Someone screamed from the treeline furiously. I looked in their general direction immediately pinpointing where they should be located.
I didn't speak, I just quietly stared off in that direction. My mind was filled with thoughts of how to get out of this situation.
"Now now guys, lets at least see what he has to say for himself." Someone spoke casually before walking towards me. The treeline was just across the field I was standing in so i could make him out clearly.
"Hey, tell me, why did you kill him?" He asked smiling widely, it was weird. There was definitely something wrong with this guy. His eyes had this crazed look in them. The way he just cocked his head slightly to the side and stared at me was unnatural.
"Just a job, same as always." I shrugged slightly, my hands palm up. It looked harmless, but from this position i could attack or defend. I needed to be on guard against these guys. I definitely hadn't seen every single one of them that was out here yet.
Suddenly i felt the wind blow towards me, i didn't move, I just felt the wind blow across my body. It was rare to feel such strong gusts, and thats how I knew he had swung on me. However he stopped his fist just before it reached me.
"Haaa, just a job huh? Just a job…" The strang man seemed to start talking to himself as he walked away. Suddenly the forest that was just teeming with life had died and now everything seemed still, peaceful even, ignorant of the violence going on in the world around it.
I simply watched as he took his leave before leaving myself in a different direction. I still had to inform the principal of this missions success.
Upon arriving outside the principals office i could hear faint grumbling coming from inside the room. I took a deep breath before giving the door two knocks to announce my presence, then I waited to be acknowledged. I wasn't the most patient person in the world but my grasp of timing was impeccable.
"Come in," a deep voice escaped the room echoing in the halls. There were people who knew what my previous mission was staring at me in disbelief for being at this office. Ignoring them I entered the room and took in the sight.
It was a grand office, the hardwood floor was spotless and the bookcase lining the left wall had what seemed to be textbooks for the various assassination techniques taught in this very school. There was a set of 3 huge windows at the far end of the room, illuminating the entire room and giving it an ethereal feeling from the moment you walk in.
"I've come to inform you that I completed the mission, Hendrix is dead." I stated simply staring at him. I didn't trust that the mission wasn't actually a way to get me out of the way quietly. Afterall Hendrix was too strong, no student here at this place should've been able to best him.
"I see, that is quite surprising. Well congratulations we'll have the funds for that contract deposited into an account and you will receive a card for said account on your departure from the school. In the meantime feel free to find another contract among your peers and if I need you for another special mission i'll contact you." He stated before opening a textbook and turning his attention away from me.
I walked back to the main yard annoyed as everyone's eyes fell on me. Everyone had nothing but the utmost respect for me. I noticed that as I walked everyone got out of my way. But it was only because I had killed Hendrix if not for that my existence would still be insignificant and overlooked in their eyes.
In the background, I noticed there were groups of assassins. The groups must have been representing; king, demon, and shadow assassins. I was the only shadow and demon assassin so I was alone in my own group.
Naturally, the king assassins don't like me since I killed Armani. So they would probably try to jump me or something in the future.
"Hey, Kamelio." A voice I recognized very well was coming from the one and only Shan Omerson.
"Shan?" I said noticing it was shan's voice but he wasn't there.
"I'm just using another power demon assassin's have. Come down To the training area. I learned some new skills." He said sounding overjoyed.
"I'll be there." I said before running in the direction of his training place.
"Kamelio!" He yelled out to me as I started to get close to his place waving his hand he continued "Hurry and sleep so you can learn these awesome new moves."
"Gotcha." I said laying down as soon as I got there.
"I meant in the spare bed you fool!" He laughed.
"Right." I said entering the house and making my way to the spare room where the spare bed is located. Then I let sleep take over which was easy considering I was tired from that fight with Hendrix anyway.
When I woke up I knew two new things.
I could portray my voice to anyone I wanted to through the air so everyone around him could hear it. Or through his head so only he would hear me.
As a demon assassin I had a scary mask that could hide my presence and it would come on whenever i wanted it to unleashing all of my power, unless It hadn't been revealed.
"Woah." I gasped.
"Cool right?" He said.
"It's awesome!" I exclaimed.
"Now. I have a mission for you. Well, if I'm being one hundred percent honest. I need your help. This mission is a huge secret so I'll need to know if you got my back or not before I tell you." He sounded and acted more seriously than I've ever seen him.
"I got you. What's the problem." I asked him highly concerned.
"I was given a mission to assassinate a king assassin. But not just any king assassin. The strongest king assassin who ever lived. Who at this moment has a high position in humanity. He's the king assassin with the biggest kingdom in the world, Jach Ghiovas. There will be civilians and a bunch of guards. So we will need our masks."
"I'm ready for this mission." I said simply, my eyes flashing red.
"Good. We will start by infiltrating his kingdom and locating him. It's a four day trip to get there on foot. But I have a car and with it, we'll be there in two and a half including rest stops." He said showing me a map and moving his finger from our location to our destination.
"Let's get moving then." I said looking for his car.
"Before we move there's one last thing I have to tell you. There's a party he's throwing. By the time we get there, we will have half a day before we are on the day of his party. He will have all of his guards in one place at that time. So I want us to kill him before then." He said pulling out his keys.
"I agree completely. Do we have any weapons or are we using our hands? Or claws depending on how much power we are letting loose." I asked really wanting a sword.
"Don't worry I have 2 swords, 2 sets of hidden blades, 2 daggers, 2 sets of a hundred poison darts same with berserker darts, I also have 2 bows with 1000 arrows each, a huge ball of bandages, and a lifetime supply of poison vials that we can dip our arrow tips and or hidden blades in." He said as we made our way to the car.
"So where is all this stuff?" I asked as we went through a side door that led to a garage.
"It's in the trunk of my car." He said opening the garage.
We walked in and I saw his car. It was nice. Nothing too fancy and it was very discreet, yet it was also a SUV, with a trunk that quite literally had an armory in it.
"Let's get going, I've already informed the principal about all this." He said hopping in the car. I followed quickly and he started driving.
