First Person pov~

I was called to my mother's office not knowing what was going on. I was walking down the hallway and then noticed Karasuma standing near my mother's office with a stoic look on his face. I stopped a few feet near Karasuma before he began to speak, "Your mother has told me she has an important mission for you." He opened the door gesturing for me to go first. I walk inside and see my mother waiting for us at her desk. Karasuma closes the door behind him, silence filling the room. I waited for someone to speak, eager for someone to break the ice and tell me about my new mission. It was my mother that began speaking first, "Yasu, I know you've been patiently waiting for a new mission," said mother. Ugh, I thought in my head. She knows just how much I hate that nickname, but to be honest, I hate my whole name to be specific. "Yasuko" meaning, "child of peace" the name is really ironic, how can I be peaceful when I was raised to kill at any moment? But it's a name I was given and can't take back so I can't complain about it. "Well, now you don't have to wait anymore! I have the perfect mission for you." Now I had a confused look on my face, just what does she mean by the perfect mission? "Karasuma, would you care to explain to her what I mean please?" my mother asked Karasuma. "You probably already heard about half of the moon being destroyed, correct?" asked Karasuma. "Of course, I have, who hasn't?" I said with a small smirk on my face. "Well, the creature that destroyed it is right now currently teaching a class of junior high students as we speak." Wait, what!? I thought. "He told and gave us a condition that if we aren't able to kill him before the end of this year, he'll do the same thing he did to the moon to the earth once again." I stood there dumbfounded, my jaw was seriously close to hitting the floor. How does one react to this? You can't be serious, right? My mind was racing with too many thoughts all at once. Why in the world is a creature, one that's about to destroy the earth in less than a year teaching a class of high schoolers!? That makes no freaking sense what is an octopus doing, no, HOW is an octopus being able to teach a class of high schoolers?!?! Will I have to leave the planet...? "Okay, Yasu?" Said my mom, snapping my mind back to reality. "Uh-huh, alright" I replied without thinking. Wait what? Did I just agree to something bad? Karasuma appeared to my right and told me to open my hand. I open my palm, and he placed a green dagger in it. I stare at the dagger in confusion. Karasuma, noticing my confusion begins to explain what the dagger is for, "This is a knife that's made out of a material used to kill the octopus. There also a BB gun filled with pellets made out of the same material but I'll give that to you later. Regular weapons won't work on him so you have to use these instead." Wait, that still doesn't answer my question...what is this all for? I have a bad feeling about this. "So do you think you up to the task of doing this," said my mother looking at me with that confident look on her face. Sigh...I can't back out now because she gave me THAT look...I really hope I don't regret this later. So with a shaky breath, I replied with fake confidence and said, "I'll do it"
