《High School Hitman》 Chapter 1: The Entrance - part 1 ¡°SHIT SOMEONE IS AFTER ME!!! I NEED YOUR HELP NOW!¡± ¡°I¡¯M ON MY WAY B-.........¡± Before the sentence was finished, a loud bang interrupted the call. ¡°HELLO?! HELLO!! FUCK THIS!¡± *Clank* *Crash* The man hurled his phone at the wall of the alleyway in an outrage. He dashed through the dark, trying to escape from his pursuer until he met a dead end. ¡°Shit, shit, shit! WHERE ARE YOU? COME OUT! COME OUT, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!¡± Seeing the shadow drop in front of him from a three-story building, he growled. ¡°Who are you?¡± There was a brief moment of pause after the man finished his sentence. Taking this chance, the man quickly searched through his clothes and pulled out a metal weapon. He aimed at the figure in front of him. *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Thump* A few seconds later, the body fell to the ground, lifeless and bleeding heavily. ¡°.......¡± ¡°Target B2-A1, Status Dead, Mission Complete¡± [Checking Target Status, Loading..., Status Confirmed Dead, Transferring Reward, Loading¡­, Transferring Complete] As the flashing of sirens drew closer, the unknown figure left the scene. Soon, the night turned today and the sky grew brighter. *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* ¡°Esien. Eisen... Esiennnnnn, wake up or you¡¯re gonna be late.¡± She rocked me, waking me up from a deep sleep. I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her in, hugging her as a body pillow. ¡°Ughhh... Esien, you''re squishing me.¡± I woke up to the movements of struggling. As I opened my eyes, I saw a feminine figure in front of me and removed my left arm from her stomach. The bright sunlight hitting my face made me rub my eyes. I sat up. ¡°Goood mooooooorrrrniiiiinnnnggg Kaya ahhhhh...¡± I stretched my arms out and yawned while greeting my sister. Kaya, too, sat up and hopped off my bed, her black hair swaying from side to side looking at my sister¡¯s back made me feel that everything was good and blissful. I picked up my phone from the night table next to me and checked the time. I concluded that I had roughly an hour to get ready for school. I heard a familiar sizzling noise and sniffed the air as the scent of bacon drifted from the kitchen. ¡°Hey Kaya, are you cooking something?¡± ¡°Yeah. Hurry and get ready, we gotta go in an hour.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± I answered back. Kaya left the room to go back to the kitchen. I opened my closet and rummaged through to look for my new school uniform that I got two weeks back before school started. I always cook for her, so I wonder why she is cooking now. She must be excited to go to her new school, especially since she never had the chance to make many friends her age before. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Changing to my uniform, I took off the clothes I was wearing. As I put on my new pants, I raised my head and saw a wide scar across my upper chest in the mirror. I quickly finished changing and moved towards the restroom to do my usual business. While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I remembered the job I completed yesterday. I sighed to the fact it can¡¯t be helped. Jobs are done by people willing to do them. I shrugged it off as I dried the water off my head with a towel.I combed my glossy hair to the side, almost looking like a pompadour. While moving towards the dining table, I glanced at the breakfast on the table. The sweet aroma had already filled the house. I took a seat at the rear end of the table, across from my sister. I stared at Kaya as she poured freshly squeezed orange juice into two glass cups and passed my cup by sliding it across the table after sitting across from me. ¡°Kaya, why did you decide to cook now?¡± I asked her out of curiosity and she responded casually, saying that she just wanted to and didn¡¯t want to wait for me to wake up. I just nodded and thought my sister is growing up. Awww, I love her so much. Taking my time to eat breakfast, I looked at the news feed on my phone until I saw an article that caught my eye: [Political Man Found Dead Alleyway]. Upon seeing this, I choked on the sizzling bacon. ¡°You okay nii-chan?¡± Kaya asked. ¡°Ah. Y-yeah I¡¯m fine, the bacon was still hot.¡± I replied while sticking my tongue out. ¡°How¡¯s the food?¡± ¡°Mmm ish sho goosh.¡± I responded, ignoring the news that popped up. While we ate, Kaya asked about how if she ever had friends come over, I shouldn''t interfere without permission. We laughed and talked as we gobbled down the food. After finishing the delicious morning meal, Kaya went back to the kitchen and brought two Bentos with her. She noted in addition that the Bentos contained 25 percent vegetables, 50 percent meat, and the remaining 25 percent rice. Thanking her for the nice meal, I got up and took the plates to the sink in the kitchen to clean them. As I head back to the table I saw Kaya lying down on the sofa with her back facing the ceiling and her head turned left, watching the news on the television. I walked over to her and sat down next to her by her feet. She got up and brushed her dark, glossy hair over her right shoulder to lay down on my lap. I caressed her head, sometimes taking glances at her right ear. ¡°New life ... a new beginning.¡± I muttered words under my breath. Due to being tired from making breakfast and Bentos and from her excitement to go to her new school Kaya quickly fell asleep. This blissfulness... I wish things could stay like this forever, but a quote suddenly pops into my mind:¡®You can''t stop time. You can''t capture light. You can only turn your face up and let it rain down.¡¯ I agree with it. Time will always move on and will wait for no one. Leaving the house, Kaya waited for me as I closed the door. As we began to walk towards our new school, Kaya stretched her arms into a wide Y and yawned. ¡°You slept good, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Yup, the warmth of your laps made me fall asleep. Oh and I forgot to mention, please stop working at the factory. You keep coming home late and exhausted. It¡¯s going to take a toll on you and we have enough money to live on for a few years anyway.¡± ¡°Even if we have enough money to live on for the next few years, I want to make sure we¡¯re secured. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be okay. I wouldn¡¯t leave you alone. I¡¯m here for you, Kaya.¡± She nodded in acceptance and hugged my right arm. Sibling love is mutual. I love her but not in the sense of ¡®no man will touch my sister, only I will¡¯, of course. Arriving at our school, I unconsciously calculated the time length of the walk. It was about a ten to fifteen-minute walk. Many students also arrived at the school at the same time we did. We entered, and Kaya separated from me to go to her own designated area. A/N: Thank you for reading, Part 2 will be released as soon as my lovely Editor is finished Chapter 1: The Entrance - Part 2 I made my way to the teacher''s lounge and introduced myself to the teacher. ¡°Nice to meet you, Akatsuki-san. I¡¯m Kurosawa Yoriko and you can call me either ¡®Sensei¡¯ or ¡®Kurosawa-san¡¯. I will be your homeroom teacher from now on and will introduce you to the class in a little bit. Let me first confirm with you, Akatuski Kaya is your sister, right?¡± ¡°Yes, she is my sister.¡± I replied to her, wondering why she asked about her while thinking at the same time about how young my homeroom teacher looked. If my judgment is right, she should be around 25 years old. ¡°Sensei, you look really young for a teacher.¡± ¡°Fufu, thank you for the flattery. About your sister, she achieved a very high score on her exam so we had her skip a grade. She was assigned to a special class across my room for advanced students. There will be some students who are also 15 years old so she¡¯ll be able to make friends and get along in the class.¡± ¡°Oh, alright. Thank you.¡± ¡°Okay then, let¡¯s head to the classroom and introduce you to everyone. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll fit in.¡± Walking through the hallway towards my classroom, I turned my head to the right to see a beautiful garden with multiple benches and trees. After going up two flights of stairs, we arrived at the classroom. The teacher entered first and had me wait for the queue to come inside. I reflected on how I will greet. While thinking about it, I looked at my hands. Even if my palms have been dirtied, I just want my sister to be able to live happily. The money I got from completing dirty jobs, the reason why I even began this job¡­ I was just about to reflect deeply on the past when the teacher gave me the queue to come in. Upon entering the class, I heard whispers from some of the students. My hearing ability is near superhuman level, so I can pick up sounds very easily. My ears are my sensitive spot. I went through all the whispers I heard: ¡®He¡¯s cute¡¯, ¡®I wonder if he¡¯s a curving¡¯, ¡®He looks like Zach Effron from America¡¯, ¡®I wonder if he has a sister... I would totally like, go out with him¡¯, ¡®He¡¯s such a cutie. I wonder if he doesn''t mind men...¡¯, ¡®Is he a foreigner?¡¯, ¡®He seems fit for the soccer team¡¯, ¡®Handsome man he is, is he not¡¯, ¡®IMOUTOS ARE THE BEST¡¯. The last one was a bit dangerous. I¡¯ll have to keep my sister away from her. Most of the compliments of my looks came from the female students and the examination of my body and the remaining comments came from the males. I turned around and faced the class. I looked around, examining my soon to-be-classmates. ¡°Well, introduce yourself.¡± ¡°Watashi no namae wa Akatsuki Esien desu. I''ll be in your care from now on.¡± I bowed in front of the class, still examining the other students. One girl with glasses and short, light brown hair caught my eye as she quietly looked at me. Upon seeing me eyeing her, she looked away. The teacher told me to sit at the far right corner next to a window seat, next to the girl I stared at. Walking towards my seat, I felt others¡¯ stares hitting me everywhere. Receiving so many stares at once made my legs turn to jelly. I sat down with much difficulty and class began. ¡°Alright. I will have you all prepare for Friday, tomorrow, by reading the passage on the handout that was passed to each of you earlier. As for Akatsuki-san, you will start receiving homework on Monday. That is all and I¡¯ll leave you to it.¡± Kurosawa-san walked out of her class and suddenly, I was surrounded by a flock of people in front of me, asking questions. It felt like fainting from the nervousness of being surrounded by so many people. However, the girl who sits next to me interrupted everyone. ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve gotta be careful. He¡¯s only one person and can¡¯t answer all your questions at once.¡± The students all muttered in agreement. I answered questions, one by one, like: ¡®Do you have a sister?¡¯, ¡®Have you dated someone?¡¯, or ¡®Where¡¯d you come from?¡¯. I continued to answer questions and was finally able to get time to breath during lunch. I kept hearing rumors about somehow I became a hot topic in a couple of hours as I made my way around the school. I found a flight of stairs heading to the roof. I opened the door and upon doing so, I saw my neighbor from my homeroom class. Seeing her, I called out. ¡°Yo! Is this seat taken?¡± ¡°U-um, no it isn¡¯t.¡± I sat right across from her and opened my bento, which was still warm even after a couple hours have passed. The girl looked off into the distance, her hair fluttering from the light breeze. Somehow, her beauty seemed to be captivating by the sweet aroma of my food. To break the silence, I thanked her for earlier. ¡°Your welcome. I know what it¡¯s like to be in that situation and my bad, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hayashi Natsuko.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you Hayashi-san. I figure you already know my name, but let me do it again. My name is Akatsuki Esien.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you Akatsuki-kun and please call me Haya-san, since my name too long to say.¡± ¡°Then I guess you can just call me Aka-kun.¡± ¡°¡±Pfffft- hahahaha!¡±" We laughed at our own introductions and chatted for a while as we ate She asked me about my bento and I shared it with her. She complimented my sister¡¯s cooking. We continued to keep chatting.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! ¡°Hey, Aka-kun... wait, you got something on your face.¡± She leaned over to my face and got closer. When she wiped off rice with her finger, we both blushed a little. ¡°Wo-woah.¡± As she came closer, she lost her balance and fell on top of me. Looking into her sparkling green eyes, I was charmed. She started to lean in closer to my face. My heart began to thump hard in my chest. We were suddenly interrupted when a group of students came upstairs, saw us, and left in awkwardness. She got off me, looked into my eyes, and blushed even harder. ¡°¡°Pffft, hahaha!¡± We both laughed again on our little scene that just happened. Thinking about it more, this is the first time I felt this kind of bliss. Not knowing what this feeling is for sure, I forced it to the back of my mind. ¡°Oh, by the way, what¡¯s your WhatsApp ID? It was a fun day and I want to keep talking to you. Sometimes, I felt like my days are getting more ¡¯n¡¯ more bland and monotoned.¡± ¡°Sometimes I have those feelings too, and here.¡± We exchanged IDs and chatted a bit more. As we talked, my heart kept beating quickly and was getting hotter. Confused, I forced my heart to calm down. Finishing lunch, we went separate ways and I received a message confirming that it was Hayashi. Not looking where I was going, I turned a corner unconsciously and bumped into a rich and righteous looking guy. ¡°Oi, watch it! Hey, wait a second.¡± ¡°Hey, you¡¯re the new guy. Let me tell you this before I let you go. I saw Natsuko talking to you so I''ll say this once. Stay away from my Natsuko, and that''s my only warning.¡± Without letting me retort back, he walked away with an evil and lustful expression on his face. I could feel his intentions leaking out of him. Ignoring what just happened, I walked away as well. After school ended, I headed home while getting pestered by many students. Keeping up with my facade, I answered nicely to each question they asked. Escaping the swarm of students, I made it home safely. It didn¡¯t seem like Kaya came home yet. Maybe she made some friends, I thought. I took a deep breath, smelling the familiar warmth of the house, as I took off my shoes and put on my indoor slippers. Making my way to my room, I plopped down onto my bed, listless, as this was a nice day of freedom and change. I closed my eyes. I dreamed about that day, the storm, the devil¡¯s death, and the broken goose with dead eyes. A devilish figure drew closer and closer and a sudden puff of heavy gunpowder filled the air. Blood overflowed as it came closer towards me. I then suddenly woke up with a jolt from my dream. Sweating heavily and eyes wide open, I sat up while grabbing a small towel to my right of my bed. I wiped off the sweat and headed straight to the shower room. Then, after finishing up with my shower, I cooked food for my sister and I, thinking ¡®My sister, it''s past five in the afternoon. I got here around 2:30 and she hasn¡¯t arrived yet¡¯. As I pondered while cooking, I heard a click at the front door. I looked and saw my sister and two other girls. Examining closer, it was a girl with black leggings and black long hair, and another girl with blonde twintails. ¡°Oh nii-chan, sorry I¡¯m late. I should¡¯ve called you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, but who are they?¡± ¡°Well, I made some friends. They were really nice to me and since we were talking about some anime, I asked them if they wanted to watch some with me at my house.¡± ¡°Hello, my name is Akatsuki Esien. Thank you for taking care of my sister throughout her first day at school.¡± I bowed my head a bit and thanked them. The girl with twintails blushed a little as she looked at me. Bewildered, she spoke first. ¡°I-its no pra-problem, I¡¯m Kurosawa Nami.¡± She bowed and her blonde twin tails flailed. ¡°I¡¯m Tazawa Haruka.¡± The other girl said in a noble tone. ¡°Well nii-chan, I will be heading to my room. Call me when the food is ready.¡± ¡°Alright, it''s ready though.¡± ¡°Oh, okay. Let me wash up first. Do you girls want to eat?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°S-sure...¡± After they left to the bathroom, I got a message from my phone. Looking at my phone, I saw that the messages were from Kuroi Raion. Kuroi Raion is an underground site for Hunters and Job Takers in Japan. Remembering what it was about, I headed towards my room, leaving the prepared food on the table. Upon entering my room, I accessed my computer and entered the underground site by using a VPN. I entered a tripled secured password. There, on the screen, was a vague description of my new target. My employer is a woman I met personally and she introduced me to this. I opened the files to view additional information and glanced at them. File: Y3-C3 ============================================ Surname: Naru Name: Kyoji Personal Data Description: He used his connections to cover up 18 murders in the past 4 years. He has kidnapped multiple women and used them as toys. Supposedly ¡°Killed¡± in the assassination attempt in 2020. Location: (Sent to Kuroi Raion¡¯s phone) Mission Description: Must be erased from this world. Your Job is to eliminate your target and kill his 2 subordinates. Information about the subordinates are not provided. Use any means necessary. Do not make too much of a scene. Do Not get caught Code Rank: Gray C 3 Mission:
  1. Kill Mr. Kyoji
  2. Kill his subordinates - Unknown Data
  3. Find information about more arising figures (Optional)
  4. Save the women if possible (Optional)
Time Left: [119:48:02] ============================================ Sighing at the sight of another target, I looked at the Code Rank and thought it should be easy. Ranks are ordered by color, letter, and then by number from easiest to hardest. Blue < Yellow < Red < Gray < Black F < D < C < A < B < S < SS < SSS 2 < 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 < 7 < 8 < 9 < 10 The color represents how bad he is, the letter signifies the difficulty of the job, and the number shows how many connections he has. Sometimes the numbers could be assigned wrong, so we are given additional days to complete the job. That is why I have five days to do this. I went to my closet. Since my wardrobe is a deep closet, there is enough room to fit 2 people. I pushed away my clothes and unlocked a secret compartment that contained my outfit for the job. I put on my two-faced skull mask and my gunslinger coat and equipped a Schwerer Stahl MK. 4 and two knives. I sent a text message to Kaya saying that I have to head to my job. To avoid her from seeing me, I left through a secret entrance inside the closet. Making my way outside, I muttered, ¡°Another day as a disposal man.¡±
