In a world where assassins are an everyday part of political life, gifted miscreants are sent to specialized academies to hone their skills from a young age. But when a new king with a fondness for not dying seizes control, a campaign of extermination begins against their venerable profession.

History's greatest assassin, exiled 15 years for the murder of his partner which he swears he did not commit, is given a second chance at life, provided he will take on his toughest quest yet -- become the principal of a school full of murderous teenagers, and teach them how to survive the coming days.

Take out the mark, retrieve the scroll, and avoid getting killed by his protection detail of Black Guard mercenaries. That was the job. Simple enough, or so the Assassin Without a Name thought, until he finds himself smack in the middle of three organizations all vying for possession of the item he just stole. Of the three, the worst is the Jakaree, a group of fanatical priests willing to kill--and to use deadly technology--to fulfill their mysterious goals. But by making the Assassin Without a Name a target, they're about to get a lesson in death themselves from one of the best.

∙ ⟐ School For Young Assassins ⟐ ∙ by Rosebud1208

-I had unpublished this in hopes of editing and republishing. But i have lost my motivation for this story and cannot say if i will ever return to it. My deepest apologies.- "As an advanced civilisation, we prefer to stay alive so to further our knowledge, not to mention the factor of a human's fear of death. But, despite all this, weapons for mass destruction have still been made and are still in use to this day. By now you would think that the need for these armaments is little to none, but we still use and are trained in the use of such instruments of death. This is one of the many faults of man." When abandoned at birth, children have only two places to go; a home or an orphanage. For children in an orphanage, once they turn 15 they are taken to the SFYA - School For Young Assassins. Jayla is one of those select few who have been taken to this school. It's her first year and on day one she is put to the test. Find out what happens to Jayla as you take a dive into 'School For Young Assassins'. Who knows, you might learn some skills of your own along the way. [WARNING!!!: This story may be more lighthearted than other assassin books, but this one contains swearing at varying degrees, also some potential gore. If you don't like it, don't read it!] Completed: DD/MM/YYYY?
