[Location: Japan's Safety Commission office]
Ayahana Azumi, my grandmother, she is the head of the Safety Commission. The woman that thought it would be a good idea to make her grand daughter, risk her life and work as an assassin without the knowledge of the young child's other family members.
I started working as an assassin when I found Yuki san murdering a man while I was at that woman's place at twelve or maybe I was thirteen, doesn't matter, I don't remember most things anyway. My memory is bullshit.
I watched as she walked over to me with her usual smile, her ears perked up. She is keeping her ability active as always, guess I don't mind since she looks cute. Well, she always does. I thought as we walked over to that woman's office.
"Ah, finally here aren't you?" She said, as she looked at us for a second before returning to the papers in front of her.
No matter how many times I come here it's always the same, her desk in the very front, three couches along with a small coffee table on the left and a huge collection of books on law, communication, budged and abilities on the right side. Her desk in the middle and a huge window right behind her.
She too never changes, hair turned grey, dark black eyes, a cold voice and always working.We took out seats on one of the couches and a while later she finally kept her pen down.
"So, I have you here to discuss the jail break." She said as she walked over and sat on the couch across from us.
Guessed it. I thought as she stared at me, expecting I don't know what.
As we glared at each other without any signs of looking away first, someone knocked on the door. A long knock along with two short knocks and finally another long knock. Yuki san?
"Come in." That woman said as Yuki san stepped in along with Akane san.
Long black hair and dark red eyes, tall, always with a hat on and no last name Akane san is a weird woman.
She is mysterious, very. She left her family and disappeared when she was a younger than me. Then reappeared, only for her father to die and leave everything to her, someone he never looked for when they went missing.
They both sat down on the last empty seat.
"Good morning, everyone." Akane said with that pleasant, polite and of course fake smile that she always has on her face.
"Morning." Me and Mon replied. I would say good morning but there is nothing good being in here.
"Since you all are here now, we need to discuss something important." Ayahana, that old woman said as she looked at us with a serious expression.
"Alright, please start, ma'am." Yuki san said switching from her usual joking manner to the serious and reserved one.
"As you all know, the jail break that took place last month wasn't made public. Therefore, we need to take care of it without notice. We could easily do that by hunting down and eliminating them but"— she paused as she looked at Akane who kept her smile on, then with a sigh she continued, "their leader, he may still be alive."
"Wasn't he dead?" Mon asked sounding a bit surprised.
"We never found his body." Akane san said still smiling as she looked at me.
"So, you all lied to the public?" I scoffed, this was very much something they'd do.
That woman gave me a sceptical look and spoke "It was for the public. Also, even if he is alive he can't possibly be that big of a threat. We just need to ensure that the old situa—"
"How do you know?" I interrupted, "that he is not a threat and how will you ensure that old situation won't repeat itself?"
"We will ensure that by making sure that he will be stopped even if he is still alive." She said ignoring my first question.
"How?" I asked again.
"You two will be assigned to work with the YTA staff to train the new generation to make quick decisions. You two will go there as students, I'll arrange to make sure that you both are admitted i—"
"Hold on now!" I said cutting that woman in the middle again, "what do you mean by that? You want us to teach them how to kill?"
"Precisely." Akane san said her smiled widening, she then added, "we want you two to teach them how to kill. But don't worry, you two aren't the only ones who are sent there.. each year's public safety course has one sent to them."
I laughed at the idea, "Assassins who kill people for a living, teaching heroes who are supposed to save people. Quite ironic, isn't it?"
The adults went silent for a second too long at my comment.
"But, won't the students suspect us? Also what if they tell others?" Mon asked breaking the thick silence before it ate away these older, wiser people. She looked at them then at me. She reached out to grab my hand almost like she was trying to hold me in place, to keep me from leaving, I guess.
"They won't, you won't tell them. Also, not everyone from YTA is a hero now." Akane san said trying to convince us.
"But about 97% are." I argued, squeezing Mon's hand lightly.
"3% still aren't." Akane replied.
I sighed, "I ref—"
"I'll double your salary" That woman said looking at me.
"No." I refused again.
"Triple." She said, her tone sounded much more serious and desperate.
"Deal." I agreed. Even though I wanted to keep hearing that tone of her voice longer, I could tell this was the last deal and that she will pass off the work if we refuse. Plus I'll get money for going to school, what could go bad?
"That was fast!" Yuki san said looking at me in surprise, "shouldn't you consider it a bit more?"
"Money is money." I answered then turned to Mon, "you are ok with this, right?
She smiled and nodded, "yes, sure, it's not like it's necessary for us to be civil workers."
"Alright then, you will have to convince my parents though, grandma." I said before standing up while glaring at that woman, "I am leaving, send me the details later."
