An unknown forest area, outside the human capital.
"huff…. Haa…"
A man wearing luxurious red clothes, with golden accessories all over his body, could be seen running desperately trying to get out of this huge forest. He has several wounds all over his body and his condition is very terrible.
Looking at his clothes, anyone can tell he is wealthy, which can make people doubt why he doesn't have any bodyguards. Right now, he seems to be running for his life from something.
As continued to run desperately, he finally saw the end, he could see the clearance, and he thought that once he gets out of this forest he will be able to find others for safety. He could finally escape this nightmare that's been haunting him for quite a long time.
A smile appeared on his wounded face:
"J-just a little bit more… and …. I will be able to get out…. Hehe.."
"Hmm, indeed…" (???)
Just as he was about to get out of this forest someone arrived from behind and whispered in his ears like a demon:
"…. But too late…" (???)
"W-wh-!?"
Before the wounded man could say anything, he felt immense pain in his chest he looked and found that his heart was pierced by a dagger and a huge amount of blood was flowing out from the wound.
The wounded man fell to the ground and his body started to twitch before he finally died a horrible death. His face still had the expression of surprise and fear with his eyes wide open, seemingly trying to figure out how he died so fast.
A person appeared near the dead body and slowly checked and confirmed that the man was indeed dead. Just as he was about to leave, a one-handed man wearing the suit of a bodyguard attacked him from behind with a sword.
But before he could land the attack an arrow came flying and blasted the bodyguard's head into smithereens, following which the bodyguard's body also fell to the ground lying there dead and cold.
The assassin wearing a black mask suddenly heard a nervous voice from his earphones:
"W-what are you doing, Ars! H-he co-could have killed you!" (???)
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this a frown appeared on Ars's face:
"I was just distracted a little bit… nonetheless you saved me, I owe you one, Leo…" (Ars)
"W-well, rush ba-back fast, the master is ca-calling!" (Leo Roserolt)
"Yeah, I would be back." (Ars Lothario)
After the voice fell silent, Ars looked at the two dead bodies once and shook his head, then he finally left the place, leaving behind those two dead bodies to rot.
.
On a huge tree, a kilometer away.
A young boy who had a bow in his hand sighed:
"Th-thankfully that arrow landed, otherwise, ma-master would have beaten me to death!" (Leo)
"Ars is leaving the area and heading to the base, I should hu-hurry to." (Leo)
While climbing down the tree Leo kept trying to ease his nervousness, this was the first time he had actually killed someone, similarly, this was both of their first mission together which was given by their master.
But Leo didn't understand how Ars can calmly kill people even though this was his first mission too.
"No matter how many years, I never get used to this guy…" (Leo)
Even though Ars is the same age as Leo and both of them are still very young, Ars was able to slice off all the other bodyguards of this wealthy man, easily. But the Guard Caption was a tough nut. He let this wealthy man escape by putting his life on the line to stop Ars. But in the end, they were able to finish their mission.
After running at full speed for a few minutes, Leo came to a car that was floating in the air above the ground. This is the standard and cheapest flying car which is created with today's advanced technology. It uses a mana core as its fuel.
A man wearing a black coat could be seen standing near the car. He has a glass of wine in his hand and he seems to be enjoying his time looking at the full moon in the sky.
Leo looked and found that Ars has already returned before him, even though he was far from him.
"Master, we have completed the mission. But…" (Leo)
The man drinking wine looked at Leo and smiled:
"Good. What do you want to say?"
"Master, why did we have to kill that man, though?" (Leo)
"Well he was a murderer and did quite horrible deeds in the past, anyway it was a good opportunity to test both of your skills now I am sure that you both will be able to carve out your name in the future. Good. Now I should take both of you to the greatest academy of the human empire."
The man took a sip of the wine looked at the two of his disciples and smiled brightly:
"The day for the entrance ceremony has come after all…"
.

Outside the Academy
A young girl with pink hair could be seen running with a school bag. It seems she is running towards her school because she has gotten late from sleeping too much in the morning.
But the girl has a huge and bright smile on her face, her pink continued to flow in the wind as she ran. Her face looked cute and smiling as if she was a pure and shy maiden with a gentle and easygoing personality, who didn't even know how to get angry.
All the people who looked at her running figure smiled seemingly enchanted by her beauty.
Yet the inner monologue in her mind seemed to differ:
'F**k! I slept too much, like an old pig! It's my first day at the greatest academy and I am already late for the entrance ceremony. This day is f**king sh*tty as hell.' (Lenn Koffer)
'My academy life will be a sh*tshow if I got late on the first day!' (Lenn)
If someone could hear the number of abusive words in her head, they would be shocked to death, thinking how someone who looks so pure and gentle like her could say such things.
Although her appearance and her thoughts made a stark contrast she clearly had some skills she was able to run so fast and was able to avoid getting crashed, she have insane instincts indeed.
After running for a while, Lenn finally arrived at the front gate of the academy, she showed her id and hurriedly entered. The gate closed after she entered.
"Phew~ I barely made it…" (Lenn)
Just when Lenn was sighing in relief a girl jumped on her and hugged her tightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lenn! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you for so long, we both are in the same academy!"
Looking at her friend, Lenn's face had a frown on it. When she felt her friend pressing huge bazookas against her she could not help but compare them to her flat board-like front page.
'Fu**king bi**h get off me, what do you even eat to get so big? Stop rubbing them against me, you wh*re' (Lenn)
Although Lenn was cursing in her head, her face remained the same, she still had a huge bright smile on her face like a shining sun emitting brilliance. (Although her inner version was emitting darkness and had horns on her head. Like a demon in the dark night.)
Lenn hurriedly pushed her friend away, while showing a smile:
"Ah, it's been a while, but let's go and attend the entrance ceremony first otherwise we will get in trouble…" (Lenn)
"Indeed, let's go, but you are still like an angel Lenn, just like you always used to be. You are so beautiful and gentle…"
'Yeah, in your dreams, bi**h' (Lenn)
While cursing in her head Lenn followed her friend to the ceremony. After all, she didn't want to get in trouble just because she ended up wasting time with this old hag of a woman.
What they didn't notice was a young man with black hair sitting on the bench, near the tree, looking at them with an expressionless face.
"Hmm, I already became a senior, this lively atmosphere brings back memories…" (Rio)
