542 Killer

New morning, while Lou is walking alone towards School, a man suddenly stops being ignorant of him.

He gently smiled and asked," Can I ask you for directions please?"

"Sure? Where do you want to go?"

"Here." The man opens a ridiculous drawing map showing the whole town on it, even for Lou it is impossible to dissect the content of the map, much less for an ordinary person.

"Hmm, I think I know where this is, by the way, why do you want to go here?"

"My relatives leave here, I come from the countryside to try my luck but I don't have any money to rent a room, thank goodness I remember that this is the home of my relatives."

For some reason, Lou felt that there's something of a wrong about this man, but still, asking for directions is just an easy task for him.

He then teaches him the way, an easy path so that he can't get lost on his way, but the man is also ignorant when it comes to finding the right path.

"Sorry, actually, I easily get lost, I already walked around for 2 days right there on the fountain, I don't know why I always arrive in the same direction even though I'm walking straight."

"Well never mind, I'm going in that direction anyway, why not follow me so that I can deliver you to where you are going?"

"Really? Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"You can call me Teacher. Tachibana."

"So you're a teacher?"

"Yeah….. But it's embarrassing for a student like you to show me the right path."

"Don't worry about that, everyone can easily get lost if you're new in this place."

While walking, Lou and Tachibana talk to each other making You realize that this Teacher is not an ordinary Teacher.

Teacher Tachibana is actually a Magic Teacher that teaches magic to the Primary Students in the countryside.

He teaches some normal and basic magic like Candle Fire, Water Drop, Breeze, Mud Ball, and many more fan magic for kids.

But even though he said he's a Magic Teacher teaching Basic Magic, Lou notices something about his footsteps and the mannerism of him that he always touches his left waist.

'Maybe he is just accustomed to doing that while staying in the countryside.' Lou thought.

4 minutes later, Lou and Tachibana finally arrive, to his surprise it's actually Fumino's residence, after all, he always delivered Fumino and Ogata back home.

"Do you live here?"

"Yes."

"Then that means your surname is Furuhashi?"

"My mother's side, why do you ask?"

"My classmate lives here, wait a minute it's still early, maybe she is still here, I will call her for you."

"Thank you then."

Lou walks in front, presses the doorbell and a couple of seconds later the door finally opens.

"Lou? What are you doing here?"

"I just passed by, by the way, this man said he is one of your relatives."

Fumino looked at the man and confusedly said," Really?"

Lou nodded," He comes from the countryside."

"From the countryside? But my family comes from Capital? That's confusing…"

"From Capital?"

"Bind Ivy"

Out of nowhere, a green ivy starts to bind Fumino and Lou, it's so fast that they almost can't react at all.

"Thank you for your work boy, you can go now."

Thud!

"KYA!"

Lou looked at Fumino who fainted in front of his foot and to his chest and asked," What are you doing Teacher Tachibana? Why do you want to kill me?"

"Sorry about that, you're just a passerby, this girl is my original target, we can say that you are unlucky enough to see all of this."

"So, you're one of the killers?"

"Yes..... But still, I'm pretty impressed that you can still talk after your health is pierced by my sword."

"You mean this? Hey, I don't know if I'm unlucky or you're the one who is unlucky," Lou snapped his finger and commanded.

"Slow"

He then slowly walks in front making the sword on his chest slowly pull out, Tachibana is horrified seeing all of this, he knows that he kicks a hard iron this time, not just iron but a pretty strong one too.

He tries to attack Lou again but he notices that he is moving like slow motion, he feels that everything slows down even his heartbeat.

Lou walks closer to Fumino to check her condition, seeing that she only fainted, he carries her and brings her inside to take a rest, he walks back to Tachibana and asks.

"So who is your boss? And why are you targeting Fumino?"

"Boy go to hell!"

"Incinerate"

From his hand, a small ball of fire comes out towards Lou, but to the degree of heat from his attack, it's pretty warm for Lou's caliber.

Lou grabs it and squeezes it in his hand, it explodes and nothing happens," Can you tell me now who's your boss?"

"Boy, you're strong, but this is not the end," Incinerate's lips start to bleed and then he drops dead.

Lou walk closer and see his face turn purple, it seems he chooses to commit suicide by poison.

Swosh~

"I came late, boy did you kill him?"

Lou look at the uninvited visitor and ask," Little Girl you're going to get late if you don't run right now."
