The Assassin in Our Midst

Chapter eight

We swept through the hero students at the front of the woods, crowding the rest towards the cliff. All the people that I took out were surprised when I appeared out of nowhere, slashing their throats with my knife. Many of them were people that I've fought against in hero training. I lost to most of them in that time, playing down my skills. It wouldn't make sense for a frist year to have the skills of an assassin after all. 

When we made it to the cliff, the rifle was already set up, waiting for me. At the bottom of the cliff, I could see fourteen of the nineteen students in class 1 A participating in this. When I looked down, four of the five were running forward planning to ambush Kaede who had helped lead the 'dead' students to the area. But I didnt let that happen. 

Moving like last year, I shot two if the four people, aiming for the bright red and pink clothing. Kirishima and Uraraka. The other two were Todorokie and Kaminari. Before the bodies of those hit even touched the ground, I was already moving. Jumping down from the cliff, I abandoned the gun, switching back the my knife and slashing the bi colored hair boy through the stomach when my feet hit the ground. 

The only person left in my sight was Kamanari. 

I walked up to him, noticing Rio approaching my side. She pushed the stunned boy to his knees while I held the knife at his throat. In times like this, it was easy to forget that the knife was fake. 

"Where's Bakugo?" I asked with a soothing voice similar to that of the kiss of death. It drew you in but wouldn't let you go once it had you. 

"I-I don't" the boy started but he proved useless only moments after his stuttering began

"Nevermind," I said calmly as I slit the electric boy's throat cleanly. 

Bakugo was right here, running at the two of us.
