Railgun ga Kill Book 1: Night Raid

Zank the Executioner

"We just got a new assignment. Our target, Lokal, a distant relative to the king's minister, Onest." Shisuki stabbed the paper on the table with their target on it with a combat knife. "He uses the minister's name to kidnap women to beat them to death. His five guards are getting their shares, and are guilty, as well. This is an extremely important mission. I'm sending everyone!"

In front of Lokal's mansion.

"That's the mansion Lokal lives in." Draven said eyeing the colossal building with bright lights. "It's huge... Hey, Mikoto."

"What?"

"Why don't you have an Imperial Arms?"

"I don't really need one. My electromaster ability is already overkill as it is."

"How do you even make Imperial Arms?"

"Imperial Arms are ancient super weapons. And currently, it's unclear how they were made." Mikoto rested a small arcade coin on her right thumb getting ready to flick it in the air. "I shouldn't have any problem at this distance. As soon as he leaves his mansion, I'll shoot right through him."

"Alright! After you railgun him, my job is to escort you to our meeting place! Leave it to me!"

Mikoto huffed and smiled at Draven as she aimed her railgun. She took a deep breath and concentrated on the task before her.

'Her concentration is amazing. I can even feel her drive from here.'

"He came out."

"Huh? Where?" Draven said searching the premesis with his binoculars. "A lot of people who aren't our target came out, as well."

"Don't doubt my ability."

"How are you gonna shoot him?"

"At the moment, that's irrelevant."

"Irrelevant? You don't mean you're going to involve innocent pe-"

The arcade coin left Mikoto's thumb as it was sent hurtling towards Lokal in an orange streak. Draven's eyes widened in both horror and suprise. Only Lokal was hit. Anyone surrounding him was fine.

Draven gaped at the scene he saw through the binoculars.

"I'm the third most powerful level 5 in Academy City. You better take my ability seriously. I wouldn't make careless errors like killing innocent people anyways."

Somewhere in the woods surrounding Lokal's mansion.

"Find the person who killed Lord Lokal at once!" A man wearing a cat mask ordered.

Five men, all wearing the same getup, had on similar cat masks and clothing that looked like it belonged in a martial arts film.

"If they get away, the minister will kill us."

"They couldn't have gone far!"

The four men confronted Orwen, Ciara, Eva, and Asuka and skid to a stop. The fifth man was no where to be found. But right now, that didnt matter.

"This time, I'm gonna get wild!" Ciara said cracking several knuckles.

Mikoto and Draven were making their way back to a meeting place the assassins had agreed on earlier.

"I wonder if all pursuit has been eliminated. All the guards around here have trained at Koukenji. It probably won't be that easy."
