Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Warning

Loki and Alisa passed through the school gates and upon entering Loki immediately noticed that many students were looking at him curiously. Many of those staring at him were the girls. As he was walking, he could hear some of their conversations.

“Isn’t that Alisa, the first year’s princess, who’s that with her? Is it her boyfriend?”

“So she did have a boyfriend, so that’s why she rejects everyone.”

“Her boyfriend’s really good-looking wearing that suit. But isn’t she afraid that ‘he’ would do something?”

“An older gentleman is it.”

“Wait doesn’t that person look rather familiar?”

As everyone was having their separate discussions, Loki suddenly felt several people with those so called inner energies coming near him. Loki didn’t want to expose his skills especially with so many students watching him, so he hoped that whoever was approaching wasn’t hostile or if they were he hoped that they weren’t as strong as Leila.

It was then Loki saw where the several inner energies were coming from, it was from the students who were now approaching him. They were wearing the same uniform as the others, the only difference was that they had a golden pin on their collars.

.....

There were five of them, four men and one woman. Among the five the handsome man standing at the forefront was emitting a very hostile intent that couldn’t be felt by normal people. He was smiling at Loki but Loki knew that this person wanted to attack him. The boy then shifted his attention from Loki to Alisa and the smile on his face grew even wider.

“Good morning Alisa.”

“What do you want, Kira?”Alisa was practically growling as she spoke. Seeing how hostile Alisa was made the four following Kira frown. If it weren’t for the fact that Kira liked Alisa, the four of them would’ve already attacked the rude Alisa.

“Why are you always so hostile? I’m just here to say hello and I also want to ask who this fine gentleman is.” Kira once again shifted his attention to Loki. It was at that moment, Loki could feel the hidden killing intent that Kira was emitting. Kira was like a sheathed blade, wanting to slash at Loki.

“Can’t you even recognize the person you tried to kill?”

“Oh, there you go again with the slander, I haven’t tried to kill anyone, since I”m a law-abiding citizen. Hmm, now that I got a good look at him... It’s been a while, Sir Loki, I’m glad that you’re looking better now. In fact, look at you, it’s like you’re an entirely different person. Still, I hope you’re not pushing yourself coming back to school.”

The killing intent Kira was emitting suddenly vanished. When the other people heard what he said, they were all surprised. This person that was wearing the suit and emitting an aura of calm confidence was that introvert librarian Loki?! As everyone was still in a state of shock, Loki spoke.

“Thank you for your concern, but who are you again?”

When everyone heard Loki’s question the surrounding students gasped. The four who were standing behind Kira glared at Loki, their killing intent not being masked. As the tension was growing, Kira suddenly responded.

“Oh right, I’m sorry, I completely forgot about your circumstances. I heard that you have some sort of amnesia. Of course, you don’t recognize me, sorry about that Sir Loki, allow me to introduce myself.” Kira then made a grand gesture and bowed in a noble-like way.

“I’m Mikado Kira, a first-year student in the martial arts course. You and I have a good relationship as I used to frequent the library to borrow books. Not to mention I’m one of the people trying to woo your dear sister.”

“Is that so... Then I’m glad to meet you again, Kira. I hope that you and I can continue to be on good terms.” When Alisa heard what Loki said, she wanted to say something but decided to not speak for now. On the other hand, Kira was rather surprised upon seeing Loki’s reaction. It was just for a brief moment, but then he went back to wearing that fake smile of his.

“Of course, of course. I’ll once again be disturbing you from time to time. You do recommend a lot of good books.” It was at that moment the morning bell rang, and the students who were listening in Kira and Loki’s conversation started running to get inside the school building.

“Big brother, I’ll see you later.” Alisa also started running towards the school building, as she passed by the smiling Kira she glared at him. Once Alisa was gone, the smile on Kira’s face suddenly changed. He was still smiling but the feeling it brought was different from before.

“I need to go as well, Sir Loki. I hope that this time you won’t get into any more accidents.” Kira went closer to Loki and placed his hand on Loki’s shoulder. Kira was gripping onto Loki’s shoulder with some force as he whispered something in Loki’s ears.

“I really hope that Sir Loki will stop being so reckless and doing things he shouldn’t do so that he wouldn’t get into any more accidents.”

“I’ll take note of that, thank you for your concern, student Kira,” Loki responded to Kira’s obvious threat, sounding oblivious to that fact.

After Loki responded the tense atmosphere disappeared, and Kira’s smile once again changed back to that fake one he uses and laughed. Kira then took a step back.

“Of course, If you need any help, Sir Loki, you can just look for me. I’ll do my best to help you, in any way I can. After all, you are the librarian I like the most. See you later, Sir Loki.” Kira left with his group while waving his hands at Loki. Seeing the fading silhouettes of the group, Loki sighed.

‘Hmm, those five are pretty dangerous, especially that Kira character. I can’t remember any of them, but I’m sure that they have something to do with the accident that killed the old Loki. I guess being a librarian isn’t going to be as easy as I thought it was.’
