It's done.

It's over.

He'll be missed that's for sure. But he's retired now. And that's all that really matters. We can move on now.

He helped me discover my uncanny ability for assassination but.... I don't want to do that. Staining my hands with murder just doesn't really click.

I only fight back when I need too.

Teaching. To lead the next generation to their own new futures. I set down the pamphlet onto the table. I'll have to repay my mom later for helping me get my own apartment. Sighing, I ran my hands through my pale blue hair scanning the envelopes I got from colleges.

I really miss him dearly. I sort of wish I took back the blade and we all hid him and started another class in the middle of no where. Haha, such great fantasies. But the future is now and I have to face it.

I guess even being in the E class, we really did show our stuff. Seriously, lots of colleges sent me their programs. My phone began to vibrate a little on the table. Picking it up, I typed in the passcode to read the message of an unknown number? I could have ignored it but I was sort of caught off guard by curiosity.

At 7:15 pm, check under your floorboard beside the couch. Read it in the bathroom and tell us your response at the fountain in the park you passed by this morning.

My eyes began to widen at every word. After 40 seconds, the whole message was deleted. It didn't even show in recently contacted. At the moment it was 6:45 pm, but can I seriously trust a random message out of the blue?

Another message came up from a person I probably haven't even contacted in a few years. I haven't deleted his contact since I was hoping to get back in touch once more.

How did you know?

Karma:Few people send cryptic messages like this, Nagisa. And that's mostly when contacting someone for something the public shouldn't know.

And what would that be?

I stared expectantly at the screen. Could more news have leaked that we  were trained in assassination and the top students? There's a possibility since we're still 'young' we can be manipulated into working for someone but I think I can figure that one out.

Karma: We are assassins, aren't we?

Karma: There's only one other group of people who knows what we are.

The government? What do they need with us? We aren't that experienced...

Karma:You can say that for everyone else. But you seem to have a natural talent for assassination. And we happen to be a pretty good combo.
