Chapter 2- My Calm School Days (Part 1)

The guards quickly dispersed around the house as they started searching for any weird occurrences. Since the only way inside the house is through the main gates, the hitman shouldn't be able to infiltrate them yet.

"Did you see anything suspicious?" One of them asked the other as they met near the small pond in the garden behind the house.

"No, it's as quiet as ever."

"Keep looking. He is probably hiding somewhere."

The two then nodded and walked in different directions. At that moment, a silhouette appeared behind one of them.

"Hm?" Before the man could even react, his neck was twisted with a crisp cracking sound. Agent 0 then quickly grabbed the corpse before it fell down so it doesn't make any noise.

"One down."

After that, he vanished and headed toward the second one. The clueless man didn't notice Agent 0 approaching him from behind.

*Swish*

The hitman made a sliding kick which made the guard fall down before he swiftly delivered a hit to the throat. His hand dug into his neck as blood splurted out violently. The dead man stared wide-eyed at the silhouette of his killer as he tried to utter a few words, an attempt that ended in failure.

The hitman then pulled out the man's throat and threw it to the side as if it was nothing.

"Two down."

"Hands up!!"

Suddenly, a yell reached the hitman from behind along with the sound of a gun being ready to fire.

"D-Don't move!"

The boy didn't seem bothered by the fact that he was found since he casually stood up with his hands in the air.

"I found him! I need backup!" The guard spoke on the communication device to his peers.

At the same time, the hitman who seemed oddly casual moved his left hand nimbly as he flicked something at an inhuman speed toward the guard. The object flew and entered the gun's barrel secretly.

Then, without thinking twice, he dashed toward the guard.

"I said don't move!!!" Without hesitation, the man pressed the trigger to shoot.

*BOOOOM*

But, shockingly, the gun exploded in his face. Sharp metal shards flew everywhere, piercing his skin and eyes.

"MY EYES!!!!" The man held his face as he yelled in pain.

*BANG*

Punching him in the stomach before adding an open-hand strike to the jaw that dislocated his neck, the man was swiftly killed in a moment.

"Three down."

*CLICK*

"I knew it. So it was indeed the Black Phantom himself."

As Agent 0 stood for a moment to look for his next move, he felt a cold object touch his forehead.

"It's my deepest honor to meet you. I never expected you to be a small kid though. What a weird world we live in." The leader of the guards said in a sarcastic tone.

"... Bullets won't work on me." Agent 0 replied coldly as he didn't even bother to look back.

"I know. I just wanted to have the honor of aiming a gun at your skull if even for a few seconds before I bite the dust."

"Odd. What makes dying by my hands an honor?"

"It is. People that work in the underworld know that death is always waiting around the corner. So, if our deaths end up being honorable, it's like we hit the lottery."

"Why don't you try to kill me then?"

"I know I can't. Besides, you already have a gun aimed at my skull. How can I beat that?" Looking down briefly, the leader saw the pistol the Black Phantom had been holding since the beginning.

"The pistol is aimed at your medulla oblongata. One bullet is enough to sever your spine from your brain before you could even react. It's game over." Agent 0 said.

"I know."

"Goodbye."

*BANG*

The bullet penetrated the man's head from below and blood splattered everywhere. The Black Phantom stared at the lifeless body of the guard with an emotionless expression. However, deep inside, he was quite confused.

"Why are you smiling even when I killed you?" He murmured before turning around and vanis.h.i.+ng like a ghost.

***

Meanwhile, inside the house.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~, honey, you're too rough~~"

"Hahahaha! Take this!"

A man and a woman were indulging in the most primal human desire. Their bodies interconnected tightly as the man kept moving, enjoying the woman's body. His arms were moving all over her body, touching every part he found pleasable and attractive.

As for the woman, she simply moaned erotically while letting the man do whatever he wanted. The murky smell of the room was a good indication of how long they have been indulging in such acts for.

At that moment, the two heard a scream outside which made the man stop and look up.

"Oi, cut it down with the noise, you idiots!" He yelled as he turned around to continue his meal.

But, at that moment, the door to the room was kicked open as a body flew inside, hitting the wall on the other side and falling limply on the ground.

"Huh?! Who's that?!"

Looking at the door, the man's frown grew stronger than ever as he stopped everything and jumped on his feet to take a look.

"What the h.e.l.l are my useless guards doing?!"

"I-Is everything ok, honey?" The woman felt anxious for some reason.

"Target: Kenny Belinder. Age: 56. Owner and CEO of Terilia Co. A company that sells household electronics during the day and works as a major distributor of drugs at night." Suddenly, a voice reached the man named Kenny.

"Who are you?! Reveal yourself?!" He shouted as his face grew uglier with fear.

'Where are my guards when I need them?!'

"You are responsible for turning hundreds of children into drug addicts. An order for your elimination has been deployed."

"So you are one of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the guild?! How dare you infiltrate my house?! My connection with the guild prohibits such acts!"

"Your connections are irrelevant. The order came from higher-standing officers."

"... No, you can't be serious!!" The boss's face turned pale as he quickly ran outside only to be met with a sight straight out of nightmares.

Dead corpses Dead corpses everywhere. Either from broken necks or bullets to the head, they were all gruesomely murdered without a shred of mercy. One of them even had his head planted into the ground as if he was an ostrich. It was a sight straight out of a horror movie.

"H-How My guards! They are all dead!"

Suddenly, a cold feeling penetrated his whole being as a presence appeared behind him.

"Wait! Please! Don't kill me! I will do anything! I can give you money, women, and anything you want! h.e.l.l, you can have everything I own! Just please!"

*BANG*

Without hesitation, the bullet was fired at Kenny's skull, killing him swiftly.

"I don't need that."

After saying those words, Agent 0 turned around and walked back inside the room. The woman, who was still sitting on the bed with a horrified expression, stared at him. Her eyes were stricken with tears and the blanket she had covering her naked body was turned wet from the lower part She had p.i.s.sed herself.

"A-Are you going to kill me too?"

"If I recall correctly, the target's wife had put a bounty on your head. Besides, since you saw me, I can't let you off the hook."

"*Hick* *Hick* Please, spare me. I never even loved that man. He was only after my body. I don't have anything to do with h-"

*BANG*

Agent 0 then fired a bullet.

"Goodnight."

*RING* *RING*

The heavy eyelids of a young man opened slightly as he stared around dazedly. His groggy mind took a second to register where he was.

'The cla.s.sroom I fell asleep, huh? Was that a dream?' He thought as he recalled the weird dream he had. It was a random memory of his past that he never really bothered to think about before.

At the same time, the doors to the cla.s.sroom were opened and students started walking inside as they chatted jovially.

Their careless expressions as they talked about nonsense always intrigued Kai. He didn't understand the point of such conversations but never really bothered to try and actually engage in such an activity with another person.

He wanted his life to stay quiet, calm, and devoid of any troublesome entanglements with any second party.

Rustling his black hair back to its rather messier state and then he stared at the window, not bothering with the background noises of his peers.

"Look at him, he's always like that." A student whispered as he looked at Kai secretly.

"He looks kinda creepy, not gonna lie. Have you ever heard him talk?"

"No, never. Not even the teachers try to talk with him. Is he a weird murderer or a psychopath?"

"Or maybe the legendary 'Quiet Kid'."

'I can hear you.' Kai thought as his expression didn't change one bit.

At that time, the teacher opened the door and walked inside.

"Everyone, take your seats. I have a small announcement. We have a transfer student that will join us today."
