"Oh , so he is just a normal student , nothing special about him. Average grades , average life , no love life so no weakness too."
Fen turned the pages of the papers he was given , he swiftly read the target's information until he reached a certain page.
"Ho , today is his birthday. Bois why don't we turn his birth anniversary into his death anniversary?"
One of the man wearing black robe with gold lining pattern on it laughed to Fen's words and said ,
"Hehehe master , you're really funny."
"Yeah master , the sh*t you say is really funny."
"I believe this decision wouldn't do us any kind of benefit , if possible we should extort money from his parents and then kill him."
To his suggestions Fen smiled and replied ,
"Argus you sure know how to grow our guild , picking you up was the best decision I've made till now."
To his words everybody who knew Fen thought ,
'That was the 'only' good decision you've made till now.'
"Um , I think everyone here also had the same plan."
Every single one in the room agreed to his words.
'Yes we had Argus , but we are not brave as you who can go against master's words.'
"Anyways let's just go with that plan , what's the time now?"
"It's 13:00 now , master."
"I see , I can take care of this kid so you all goldens can work on project breaker. The project is very imp-"
Argus interrupted him and said ,
"Master you don't need to waste your time on that brat , I alone can take care of him. Your time shouldn't be wasted on such trivial matters."
All the members disagreed to Argus's words and thought ,
'Oi he wastes his time anyways , let him do some work you bast*rd.'
"Nah , you know that it's my job to kill all the special targets. What was his name again."
"The name entered on Magic Academy's says 'Zafrix Abius'."
"Zafrix , so this kid will be my 25th attributeless kill huh?"
"Actually he will be your 47th attributeless kill and 2362th special mage kill."
Argus was the most loyal person near Fen , Fen didn't questioned any of his decision and believed in him. To Argus Fen was nothing less than god , the days he spent where he couldn't feel anything , couldn't do anything , couldn't say anything came to an end because of Fen.
To Fen's mistakes in his kill counts , Argus chuckled.
'No matter how meatheaded you be , you are the only god I pray to.'
"Yeah I got it , counting is not my forte alright. Stop laughing you f*ckers."
Even though Fen was someone to be feared he was easygoing when it came to his guild , he didn't just randomly kill his guild members and cared about them.
"Hahahaha. I'm sorry master , but I can't control my laughter. This was what your 5th time forgetting important things."
Kill counts decided the ranks in the guild , and as anyone would expect nobody was near Fen. 2.3k+ special mages kill were dream for the guild member , because of the high number nobody challenged him for the top spot.
"Actually it's master's 8th time forgetting important things , I guess you're also not bright enough Gold Cherry."
'Gold' was the title given to the one's who were hotshots in the guild , these were the people who wore robes with gold lining like Argus.
Everybody laughed to Argus's remark , in 'Deathers' guild base today was a peaceful day. Just another day with few assassin requests and taking another step towards world domination.
"Let's end today's meeting here and Argus keep the project in check , that project will bring a big change to this boring world. I'll take care of that kid."
With that the guild meeting ended.

「 Lightning attribute is obtained 」
「 Error body affinity with Lightning attribute is low 」
「 Complete Lightning attribute will be obtained once body is more comfortable with mana 」
「 Lightning attribute [12%] can be used 」
'As I thought I wasn't hallucinating.'
Even though at first I thought the same as miss Helie but in the back of my head I still believed or hoped that it wasn't just a hallucinations.
"12% Lighting attribute? So can I just use 12% of Lightning attribute's full power? Man this system thing is confusing , does tapping on it do something?"
I reached out to the message in order to tap on it , but just as my finger was about to reach it the message dissolved in the air leaving nothing behind. I further didn't try using any dangerous methods like electrifying myself and gave up on trying to understand the system for now.
My mom and dad were at home for my birthday celebration and told me that they had a big present for me.
'Luckily they didn't hear anything , these soundproof wall save me from all the stupid sh*t I do.'
I kissed the wall and said ,
"Thanks to you I can play p*rn on my speakers without worrying about my parents."
I looked at the time and it was time for my birthday celebration , I wore black hoodie with shorts of the same colour and went downstairs. I told my parents to not do anything special for the celebration and just keep it as simple as possible.
Luckily they kept my request in their minds and it looked like nothing special like decoration , etc. were done. I liked to be as low-key as possible , but my bright personality that other wanted to see made me give up on my comfort.
'Ah feels good just us three and a cake for my birthday , no one to bother.'
My parents sat on the dining table on which a light yellow coloured cake was placed , it looked like it was from the bakery next door.
'Hmm looks like butterscotch flavour.'
"Hey mom , hey dad."
"You finally came huh , thank you for taking out time from your busy schedule."
"If you know the worth of my time let's get over this quickly."
"You brat , hahaha"
After laughing for a bit we celebrated my birthday by cutting the cake and now it was time for the presents. My mom and dad stood infront of me while I sat on the chair near the dining table.
My dad placed his hand on mom's stomach.
'I-It can't be-'
He looked at me and said ,
"You're going to get a younger brother soon."
The reason I was the only son wasn't because we were poor , it was because my mom's chances of getting pregnant was low. Because of that my cheerful mom sometime cried and blamed herself for something that wasn't her fault , even though my dad didn't mind not having second child she still felt guilty for it.
I was scared that someday because of this pregnancy problem my mom's mental health could be affected. But their were no signs of such thing to this date.
Tears started flowing down my cheeks , how could I not cry on such occasion. Some people may comment on my parents for having a child at their age but it didn't matter to me , for me my mom's smiling face was what mattered.
"T-This is the best g-gift I could've got."
I hugged both of them and then said ,
"By the way where's my real present?"
"Yeah we've ordered the new novels which were trending these days."
"Haha dad you know totally get me."
With that my celebration was over we had our dinner and now were watching news.
"[Project Gate] What could be this mysterious project that the heinous guild 'Deathers' claim to be world changing? For that we've our researcher from Magic Academy , yes professor Bill please go on."
"Ahem yes , first of all thank you for having me here. So this project is related t-"
Before professor Bill could complete his sentence the line was suddenly cut and black screen is all we could see.
'Ting Ting'
Someone rang our bell , I went and opened the door for our guest. Infront of me stood a man wearing white suit with a mask covering his face.
"Huh!? The party is already over , how boring."
"Excuse me , but who are you?"
"Me?"

"Miss Helie is that student a legit attributeless? Are you sure that their isn't any kind of problem with the mana crystal?"
The women who sat opposite to miss Helie was none other than the head of Magic Academy , Arial Gianna. They sat the head's office discussing about the hot topic which was the new attributeless student 'Zafrix'.
"Yes , I'm sure that he is indeed an attributeless. I checked the mana crystal myself and it showed my attribute right."
"Hah , well then is he connected to any of the Leading families?"
"No we've checked his DNA test and he isn't related to any Leading families."
"Well this is a first one , normally only students blessed with mana such as students from Leading families were found attributeless. Anyways who is keeping eye on him for now?"
"Yes , I ordered Keli to protect him. She should be able to deal with silvers if sent , if a gold comes then it is difficult to say if she can defeat him but I believe in her. She must've a lot pressure on her right now , a life is on line. But these are the times when breakthrough happen."
"Well if you say so."
"Arial , what if he is killed even with Keli being there?"
"I'm sorry but I can't do anything right now , I've already submitted request for the protection of his family. All we can do is wait."
"Let's just hope for the best."
