Runaway

Chapter 7: Agent

Victoria quickly mastered knife throwing. It was evident that she despised the activity. She took her time in mastering it. She like archery much better. Her favorite, it seemed she preferred sword fighting against the 6th years.

Victoria finished her 3rd year at the top of her class. It seemed to be a miraculous comeback for she had been skirting the bottom a couple months before the semester ended. Julian was pleased with her quick recovery.

Her classmates, on the other hand, were not so happy. They knew they wouldn't be able to beat Victoria. It she was slacking the there's room for a new 1st. They were even more unhappy when they heard of Victoria skipping a level.

Victoria didn't bother going to normal 5th year classes like history and science. She only went when there was a quiz or a test. No one knew how she knew about the tests. Students couldn't explain how she knew when it was a pop quiz day, but somehow she did.

Victoria spent most of her days sneaking into 6th year courses and training. Really, Victoria skipped two levels, one authorized, one unauthorized. Victoria as a 5th year, was able to beat almost any 6th year. As a 6th year, she challenged the teachers and came out on top.

Victoria's skills were unheard of and they were rapidly improving. As her temporary guardian, Julian decided it was time she joined the White Tigers. Her skills were more than enough and she would have the opportunity to get information on her brother.

At the age of 15, Victoria entered her trial year with the 7th years. She was undoubtedly the youngest person to join the White Tiger. She did very well during her trial year. She completed month long quests in 2 weeks and with alarming accuracy. She slowly climbed the ranks of the White Tiger.

It was a hidden fact that she was the Kristalyn Princess. Victoria wanted to become the best with her own skills so she and Julian did not tell anyone. Victoria soon became the higher ups number 1 assassin. Victoria could enter anywhere undetected.

Her hidden talent was what allowed her to become so successful. She was an amazing hacker. With her powers, she always had the necessary equipment to hack a building. Even without her powers, she could hack out of government buildings. Victoria was a solid solo agent. She could do anything necessary and in half the time of a normal agent.

When the higher ups put Victoria in a team, everyone was surprised. Victoria was against it. She would have nothing to do with a team. She claimed she worked best alone. Teammates would only get in her way.

Truthfully, she was scared. She hadn't had any human interaction since she realized her brother wasn't coming, save for Julian. She felt self-conscious. She didn't know how to act around others and was afraid what they would think of her.. She only accepted through Julian's advise.
