I don't know who she is:
__________
Toji P.O.V.
*poke*
*poke*
I speak while looking straight at the road. "Poke me again, and you'll lose your hand."
Yes, I'm driving a car.
The lady with green hair smiled. "So snappy. Well, are you going to tell us who you are, or are you going to keep up the mysterious but strong cliche thing you have going on?"
Then, the black-haired one spoke. "Akao, we all have that phase in our lives. It just turns out that it comes later for some people."
I can't wait to get out of this car.
How did it end up like this?
Flashback 3rd P.O.V.
Kindaka sat up with a smile, covered in the inventory curse's saliva. "You four were sent here to die."
That got a reaction out of Sakamoto. "Four?"
Initially, it was assumed that Uzuki was there for support since he wasn't involved in the train incident.
Kindaka nodded, keeping his smile. "My job here is to recruit problem students into the order or eliminate them. Call the school."
Rion pulled out her phone and dialed the school. "Yo, assignment's done."
A voice yelled on the phone. "You completed it!?"
After getting a surprised reaction from the professors, they hung up.
The three primary students looked at Kindaka, and Nagumo spoke. "So, what do you want from us?"
Kindaka had a mysterious smirk. "Follow me, and you'll find out."
It went silent momentarily as if it were a dramatic scene in a movie.
Sakamoto stuck his hands in his pockets. "Am I the only one getting a thousand red flags?"
Uzuki stared straight into Toji's eyes. "If he wanted us dead, we would be dead."
The three other students turned their heads toward him and blinked.
Rion got in his face. "Creeeepy. Is your next line 7 days?"
Surprisingly, Uzuki's eyes narrowed slightly.
Kindaka looked at the group. "I'm going to need to get to the hospital."
It went silent as the teens turned to each other. It seemed like nobody wanted to do the honors of moving him around.
Then, a small smile appeared on Toji's face.
*cough*
*BLEH*
He threw up the inventory curse.
...
Kindaka's head dropped. "God damnit."
...
Flashback End: Toji P.O.V.
Velcro, or Kindaka, spoke up from the back seat. "His name is Toji. He likes eating grotesque worms AND HAVING PEOPLE EATEN BY THEM!"
After making our way to his car in the parking lot, he started squirming around, irritating the inventory curse, which caused it to spit up many of my weapons.
So I dumped him out on the back seat.
The black-haired kid spoke. "What even is that thing, and how can you eat and spit it up like that?"
What is up with these people?
I raise an eyebrow. "Are you all really assassins?"
Black hair, or Nagumo, tilted his head to the side. "I think so."
They are more like high school students.
The green-haired woman, apparently named Akao, lit a cigarette. "At least we have a personality."
...
I hate dealing with teenagers.
...
After making our way to the hospital with some terrible directions, we are met with a black car out front with a stretcher waiting.
Kindaka looked irritated. "You suck at directions."
How could I know? Everything has been different since I woke up.
Akao flicked her cigarette. "Why make the person who didn't know where the hospital was located drive?"
Kindaka sat up. "I trust him a lot more than a bunch of JCC dropouts. Even if he does have a weird thing for worms."
The teenager with white hair, Sakamoto, spoke with a deadpan expression. "Fair."
With that one word, Kindaka was taken away by some of the most lifeless-looking people I've ever seen.
*clack*
*clack*
*clack*
A new woman walked over to us. "I've already heard the situation...but I didn't think it would be a bunch of children."
The four teenagers were talking to one another, uncaring about the lady's comments.
I put my hands in my pockets. "Now that Velcro is away, what's the job?"
The door to the black car opens to reveal a fat man with glasses and a mustache.
Akao walked over to him. "Who's this bozo?"
A tick mark appeared on the lady's face, but she sighed. "Your job is protecting the VIP."
...
My ear twitches, and my head snaps toward a building.
I speak up. "7 O'clock, 400 meters. Sniper."
Damn, I don't have something that can hit something that far away unless I use the Chain of a Thousand Miles, but it wouldn't be as effective if I made it that long.
My eyes narrow. "My Glock doesn't have that kinda range."
I need a sniper.
Everyone was snapped out of their thoughts as they turned serious.
Sakamoto grabbed the lady's pistol and cracked his left shoulder. "Got it."
*BANG*
He flicked his wrist and shot, sending the bullet straight at the assassin.
...
And it hit.
...
What the fuck?
My mouth dropped. "How does the physics of that even work?"
Nagumo shrugs. "I don't know, Sakamoto just does it."
I rub the back of my head. "How annoying. More fodder, incoming."
Looking up, I see two people jump off the above freeway, holding swords.
*grab* *grab*
Smiling, I jump up and grab their faces before they can react. "All of you are amateurs."
*BAM*
*SPLAT*
Their heads get smashed on the concrete, cracking their skulls.
Turning around, I see many other assassins dead, dealt with by the other teenagers.
So they can get serious...
I put a hand on my chin and mutter out loud. "Since when were there so many assassins? Hmm?"
A nurse walks out next to me and speaks. "They look like they need medical attention."
Another follows behind her. "Call the doctor."
I raise my eyebrow in confusion when multiple people come out with stretchers.
What the hell is it with these people? "Am I going insane, or are these people soulless?"
Akao spoke up while strangling another guy. "Just you, dude."
Turning back to the lady, I see her shaking.
She bows. "I'm sorry!"
*scree*
The teen with the hollowed-out eyes, who I still didn't know the name of, pulled up the black car.
Akao threw her cigarette. "Damn, and I wanted to drive."
Without wasting time, we all got in the car as the kid floored it, sending everyone flying.
*boof*
The VIP fell onto me, or rather, two people hidden in a costume fell on me.
I spoke up with an irritated expression. "So, is our VIP two people?"
Akao, Sakamoto, and Nagumo turned their heads at the same time. "Huh?"
*pop*
The fat man deflated to show two women.
...
...
...
"Who are you?"
