12 Blackberries; Arc 1 End
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
Mibu wept in Tatsuya's arms, realizing the mistake she had made. Well, it was only half her fault because she had been under the control of the magic of Blanche's Japanes Branch Leader who manipulated her mind, in other words Hypnosis.
Its called Evil Eye. If Lev heard it, he would definitely recognize the magic right away. After all it was a magic developed by White Russia.
Everyone staring at her, they're now in the infirmary room and the twilight light shining through the glass windows. The atmosphere is so quiet but suddenly--
*clack*
The sound of the door opening caught everyone's attention, it was Lev with someone on his shoulder.
' Oh fuck, again I came in at the wrong time. '
Tatsuya who saw Lev still looking fine put on a sharp gaze, not even the slightest scratch on his body after facing a 2.5 meter tall giant emitting a dangerous feeling, he couldn't believe it.
"Haiba-kun, you're back."
Lev then closed the door before throwing the man's body in front of everyone, he looked at Mayumi.
"That guy's body is in the auditorium, I want someone to clean it up before the students see it. And also this..."
"No, no, wait a minute! So you actually killed that monstrous giant?" asked Mari, cutting Lev off his words.
Lev glanced at everyone who was staring at him.
"Did I break the law or something?"
Mari shook her head.
"Then yes. I killed him."
He didn't reveal a fact that Zhigang was from The Great Asian Union because that would arouse everyone's suspicion of him, they weren't fools.
While everyone who heard Lev's casual answer fell silent.
"Then, who is this person you brought, Haiba?" asked the big man beside Mayumi. Lev knew who this person was, Juumonji Katsuto.
He is the heir to Juumonji Kazuki, the current head of the Juumonji family. One of the Ten Master Clans.
"This person wants to take us to the place where the remaining members Blanche are currently located, on the condition that he will be let go, of course I won't do that but the decision is yours, Saegusa-senpai." Lev said, but it surprised Mayumi.
"Wait, take us!? What do you mean by that? You want to attack them all?"
Everyone looked at Lev.
" The decision is yours, if you want the case involving these students to be resolved in court, then report it to the police."
"But! If that happens, won't Mibu senpai and the others get into trouble for breaking the law?" asked Miyuki, with an innocent expression.
Lev glanced at Mibu coldly.
"Well, they really are troublemakers. All of this mess wouldn't have turned out this bad if they had been willing to talk it over with the student council. But, that's right, if you want to resolve this matter quickly and independent, then I suggest exterminating them all at once."
Lev's words were cold, but no one dared to reproach him.
"I agree with Lev."
"Onii-sama?" Miyuki looked at her brother worriedly.
"These people will cause trouble in the future if they are not annihilated quickly. And i'll destroy everything that disturbs me and Miyuki's normal life. That's my highest priority. That's why I'm going, even if I am all alone." Tatsuya said.
"I'll come too." Miyuki replied without hesitation. She then glanced at Lev beside her with a sparkling gaze.
"You're coming too, right, Lev?"
"Huh... Yes, you owe the strawberry cake ice cream for this tho."
Hearing that, Miyuki nodded and smiled. She knew Lev's obsession with strawberries, they had lunch together once, at that time Tatsuya was busy with the Club' Recruitment Week preparations. And Lev brought a strawberry salad and ate it with rice.
Its funny to her.
Erika and Leo also opened their mouths and decided to come along.
"Then... It's decided huh." said Tatsuya, looking at Juumonji who closed his eyes for a moment before saying.
"Alright, let's go hunt these terrorists."
***
The extermination happened so briefly, with Tatsuya going after Tsukasa Hajime. Meanwhile Lev and Miyuki went to take care of the rest.
Even the presence of Juumonji, Erika and the others was completely unneeded.
Police cars were outside the abandoned warehouse where Blanche was hiding to secure the lucky ones that survived from Lev and Miyuki.
"Tsk, so we ended up doing nothing huh. It sucks." Erika complained.
"Well, it can't be helped with Tatsuya, Miyuki and Haiba here." Leo said. They were completely surrounded by Monsters. First and second rank students, killing armed terrorists with ease, it truly is a sight to behold.
While Miyuki looked worried as she waited for her brother, kept staring at the exit door of the warehouse.
"You worry too much, Miyuki. Nothing will happen to Tatsuya." Lev said.
" But... "
" Tatsuya would also definitely not want you to feel worried like that because of him. "
"You're right... Onii-sama must also hate how i act like a spoiled child." Miyuki said, looking down. Lev put on a stupid expression, he just made a girl cry.
"No...that's not what I meant. Trust me, everyone would be happy if someone was worried about them."
' According to Anastasia. ' thought Lev, quoting his boss.
"So raise your head and approach him." said Lev, patting Miyuki on the back as he watched Tatsuya come out of the building.
Miyuki immediately smiled and ran over to Tatsuya upon seeing his figure, while Lev looked at the two siblings with a complicated look.
To think it would always be strange how he got closer to his target but couldn't do anything about it. Tatsuya might just be the only person in this world that he couldn't kill, even until this moment, he hadn't found a solution to do so.
And what's worse, at some point he even forgot what he came here for in the first place and went about school activities like any normal student, averting his face from the thousands of people he had killed with his hands. He had never done that in his entire life as a killer, a hitman.
He scared. fear.
[ I'll destroy everything that disturbs me and Miyuki's normal life. That's my highest priority. ]
Lev recalled the words from Tatsuya a moment ago. It bothered him a little.
' Normal life... What does it mean to be normal? '
That's a good question. But he doesn't know the answer, he's just a mortal man.
Lev then looked up at the evening sky which was slowly turning dark with a flat gaze. His mission in Japan is long, and this is only the beginning.
The beginning of his mission as a Hitman in the Magic Highschool.

"You don't look so surprised, aren't you? Isn't he one of your most loyal loyalists?"

"I see, alright alright. We won't let you down."
*beeps*
The phone is hung up. It was three people talking at a round table, inside a soundproof room with a pot of arrack.
"So how about that, did he agree to help us?"
"He said that we can do what we want in the Nine School Competition."
"Is he not at all interested in this competition?"
"I don't know, I can't read that guy's mind at all. Even if he's interested, he can do whatever he wants without our help."
"After all, he is a shadow."
