Chereads / The Legendary Assassin System / Chapter 9 - CHAPTER EIGHT

Chapter 9 - CHAPTER EIGHT

The guys started talking among themselves about who was murdered and who was the culprit among them all. At a corner stood Ken and his roommates trying to silently discuss among themselves.

"Who do you think could do such an act on the first day of admission, I must say the person is brave and courageous," said David as he pushed his glasses and looked at his roommates. "Who knows, but as long as it is not someone I know, I don't care about anything that is happening right now," said Blaze as he shrugs his shoulder while rubbing his fiery red hair.

"What do you mean by that? What if the culprit is out loose, trying to find another victim, or what if the person is from the Unfortunate faction and their mission is to eliminate the genius of our faction?" said David with anger written on his face as he faced Blaze, who has carefree behaviour. "Dude, calm down it is not like you can fight with the meagre strength you have, so calm down, and beside the authorities will catch the culprit, so what are you worrying about?" said Ken as he tried to stop the two from fighting each other, then he turned to Mar and said, "Help me hold Blaze while I calm David down" as he walked away with David.

In an office sat 12 powerful people looking at a screen in front of them with an ugly face. "Who can tell me how this happened right under our nose, and why must it be the first day of admission for the newly admitted students," said the man with a powerful aura. Rock who was also in the meeting pushes his glasses and said "The culprit must be a strong assassin to be able to eliminate the kids with any traces and the last boy was intentional, I think," said Rock as he was confused with the situation.

Everyone in the room started to murmur among themselves until the man sitting at the head of the table said "Silence," as he looked around the room before saying "You are to question every student to see if any of them is related to this incident because we can't let this slide away" said the man as he left the room. Rock stood up from his seat and walked towards Elder Boron, who is 5 seats away and said, "Let go together," as he waited for Elder Boron to stand up and left the room.

In the corridor, Rock asked curiously "How long will take for the mana core to be awakened and how will affect the current world" As he kept on walking "Well it should be able to awake within a year but we don't have a specific time as you know we have been monitoring it for over 20 years and the effect are massive such as the body being able to use magic and there will new race among us due to mana, people who have weak heart won't be able to survive the mana outbreak and will mutate into some other race and those who have a high affinity to nature will change to a certain race," said Elder Boron.

"How did you know all this?" asked Rock with a questioning voice, "Well, let's just say it is a speculation that is going on between the scientists as they work on the awakening, " said Elder Boron. Rock didn't comment again but continued walking to the hall where the students were.

In the hall at a corner stood both Ken and David, who is still angry at Blaze for his carefree behaviour. "Why did you bring me here?" asked David in an angry voice, "While you calm down, if you want to fight I won't stop you just let us finish the interrogation and you can settle it out with Blaze and what he said is true as long it doesn't affect t the people around me I don't care whoever it affects" said Ken as he walked away "but remember if you want to a hero you can't save everyone and not everyone needs saving for there are evildoers lurking in the dark trying to take of you, this is an advice for you because you can't understand what I went through before coming here, so I don't care about anyone who doesn't relate to me at all" said Ken as he left the stunned David alone.

David looked at Ken as he thought,'He is right, I am so stupid why should I care about someone I don't know but the knot in my heart can't allow this, I must solve this knot fast or else it will become something dangerous to overcome' he then followed Ken back to where Mar and Blaze are waiting for them, he smiled at Blaze and said "I'm sorry about my behaviour just so will you please forgive me" as he moves his hand to shake Blaze who also shakes him back.

Ken looked at them and smiled while talking to Ronin in his head. "While I am going to have fun while I still can before the mana core awakens because that is when the troubles start."

[Well, you can have fun, but don't forget your training and you must be ready for the worst that is yet to come] said Ronin.

"Gosh, must you ruin the moment? Why don't you tell me more about yourself or is it not yet time again? " said Ken sarcastically at Ronin.

[Well, you have to wait for the while till I can tell you about myself] said Ronin.

Ken didn't reply to him but looked at the stage as Elder Boron and someone he was surprised to see arrived. "What is Rock doing here?" shouted Ken in his mind but remained calm. Rock looked at Ken direction as he sensed his gaze and nodded at him before concentrating on all the students and scanned through them.

"All of you here will be called into the investigation room. Once you hear your name called, you are to leave immediately, and any of you caught trying to escape will be severely punished, and you will call in batches so you will have to wait for your turn and minimise your noise" said Elder Boron as he nodded to Rock who also nodded back. Ken and his roommates looked at each other with a wary face and then smiled later before continuing talking among themselves.
