Code-0000 Vantablack

"I want you to attend the First High School in Japan and kill the Japanese Strategic-Class Magician Shiba Tatsuya aka Ooguro Ryuuya."

The Man who stopped the Great Asian Union during The Invansion of Okinawa.

[ The New Soviet Union, February 5th 2095 ]

In a small meeting room, soundproof walls and led lights that illuminate the room gave a futuristic feeling. Right now a young man, around 15-16 years old was standing with a perfect demeanor.

Straight platinum hair, golden onyx eyes and pale skin. He is Lev Zhemaletdinov, First-Class 5 stars Agent of the Soviet Union.

" Code-0000 Vantablack unit, Lev Zhemaletdinov, this will be a super secret mission for you."

Said the black haired woman who was sitting there, her legs crossed, she was wearing high level military clothes, gold pins and medals adorned her uniform.

Anastasia Kalipovka. It was written on her nametag.

Lev who heard that widened his eyes, at a loss for words.

"Huh... So this is how the higher-ups got rid of my existence..."

"Hey, what are you talking about... This is an official mission from me as the head of the special-ops unit, the higher ups have nothing to do with this mission. There are only a few people besides myself know about this."

"Does that person also know about this?" asked Lev, he was very skeptical about this mission.

"You mean Igor? Yes, of course… He was the first to know the true identity of The Demon of Okinawa, Ooguro Ryuuya." Anastasia said, handing Lev a sheet of documents before lighting the cigar in her hand.

Lev flipped through the sheets. Shiba Tatsuya. Son of Shiba Tatsurou and Yotsuba Miya. A member of the Yotsuba family, one of the Ten Master clans. The possessor of the strategic-class magic Material Burst that made its debut during The Invasion of Okinawa. Possessing a "Demon Right", which reduces anything to dust, and a "Divine Left", which recovers his comrades from any wound inflicted. The Mahesvara.

Lev glanced at Anastasia before he threw the document in his hand away.

"This is mission impossible. You want me to kill a "god" who can't even be killed."

Anastasia who heard that choked.

"God, that's an exaggeration. Even though his body has been modified in such a way, he's still a human."

Anastasia has a point, Lev admits.

"Besides, I'm pretty sure that your「 Ragnarok 」 is one level above his 「 Material Burst 」" Anastasia said with a smirk on her face.

"You're not wrong, but you yourself know that what made this mission nearly impossible wasn't his Material Burst, right?" Lev said, looking at his boss.

There was a silence as the two of them stared at each other. This wasn't the first time Lev had received a highest level mission like this that could cost him his life at any moment. He has been in the military since the age of 10 and has carried out dozens of high-level secret missions such as espionage, sabotage, assassination and others.

This is his life.

But he wasn't stupid enough to accept a mission that had a nearly 0% success rate.

Anastasia then sighed.

" Levochka ..." he called Lev with his Diminutive.

Even though they were superiors and subordinates, but Anastasia had considered Lev as her own brother. She had known him since he first joined the military. A mysterious little boy who is turned out to be a Strategic-Class Magician.

His childhood had been stolen from him by the selfish adults.

"I know that this is a very dangerous mission. And I already owe you too much, this country does... Therefore, I want you to get rid of this threat. Other countries may not realize it yet but if we just let this Shiba Tatsuya go, he will be a very dangerous threat in the future, perhaps the most dangerous." said Anastasia.

Anastasia realized that she was one of those adults.

"I know. If the next war breaks out, then Japan will stand on top as one of the victors with someone like him on their side. I understand your concern." Lev said.

Anastasia who heard that smiled sincerely.

"Thank you... I'm sorry."

"Why apologize... it's not like you."

"Of course I apologize for pointing a knife at your neck like this," said Anastasia.

"You don't have to worry, I don't intend to kill myself. I'm not an optimistic guy. Someone like me who doesn't even have a reason to live, why would I have any to die?"

It is true. Lev didn't even know what he was doing right now, why he was doing it, and who is he doing this for. Nationalism? Family? No, he doesn't have any of that.

"Well then, Code-000 Vantablack, Lev Zhemaletdinov, I assigned you a mission to assassinate Ooguro Ryuuya. That's why you will be sent to attend First High School in Tokyo, Japan. That's it."

" Roger Ma'am. "

Lev saluted before he turned around, he had to prepare for his departure to Japan.

"Levochka!"

Lev hears his name being called by Anastasia, who looked at him with seductive expression, licking her red lips.

"I will give you special treatment when you return from this mission." Anastasia said, teasing Lev sensually.

"I don't need that old granny." Lev gives Anastasia his finger before he opens the door and leaves the room, leaving Anastasia chuckling.

"Heh~, still a little brat"

[ Hachiōji, Tokyo. Japan, April 3rd 2095 ]

"And here I am."

Lev was currently standing in front of the school building surrounded by cherry blossom trees. He wears a white school uniform as outerwear, a gray shirt and black tie, and most importantly, flower-shaped emblems on both of his arms.

On one of his fingers was a gold ring, it was a strange sight, a high school boy wearing a gold ring. But if Anastasia was there then she would know that the ring was no ordinary ring. That little ring is a Casting Assistant Device or CAD. Lev calls it Jörm-69 . If someone look closely, there is some kind of special pattern on its surface.

The other students who passed by Lev, noticed him. Of course, golden platinum hair, caucasian face, it will attract people's attention.

Lev Haiba.

They had seen him at the entrance exam. Rumor has it that he is from Russia or The New Soviet Union, and has Japanese blood from his grandfather. And of course those were all made up rumors by Lev.

It's been two months since he arrived in this country, spring in Japan is very different from Russia, he really enjoys the warm air and the view of the cherry trees in pink bloom. Even though it wasn't his first time to Japan, but that was just a short mission in the summer, two years ago.

And here he is now in an upper-level, magic institution known to send over a hundred graduates who either enter the University of Magic or enroll in a Magic Technical Institute of Specialized Higher Training every year and an elite school that churns out the largest number of excellent Magicians and Magic Technicians.

First Magic Highschool.

[ The rehearsal for the Entrance ceremony will begin soon. Those who are involved, please come to the auditorium. ]

The announcement echoed throughout the school, the students started to enter the building while Lev was still standing there for a while until suddenly the sound of a rushed footsteps from behind could be heard.

It was a beautiful woman, with a slim body without making her look unhealthy. Black hair and beautiful eyes, it is a perfect image of a Yamato Nadeshiko. But Lev's gaze sharpened as he looked at the woman, who was none other than.

' Shiba Miyuki. '

Miyuki who passed Lev then slightly bowed, their eyes met for a moment before Miyuki immediately left and entered the auditorium leaving Lev alone in his place, staring at the back of the woman whose a sister of his target. Lev then smiled mysteriously while stroking his neck.

"This are going to be an interesting days..."

And with that, his mission this time officially begins, his mission as a Hitman at the magic Highschool.
