Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Trouble is brewing

Loki alongside his siblings went to a family restaurant to eat. Seeing as it was a celebration of Loki getting back to work, the siblings had ordered a ton of food. It was obvious that the three of them could not finish such a large meal, but that really didn’t matter to any of them as they were in a merry mood and started eating. As they were eating Alisa noticed something happening outside.

“Is that Michael Rosales?” Alisa asked while trying to remember Michael’s face. Loki and Liam who heard what Alisa said turned their heads and saw a boy wearing their school’s uniform being held by two other boys wearing the same uniform. The boy that was being held looked like he was struggling to break free but was unable to. It was obvious that the three of them weren’t friends.

Seeing what was happening Alisa no longer bothered to remember if that person was Michael or not. What was important now was to help the poor student. Alisa stood up from her chair and was about to leave, but before she could move Loki held her hand and pushed her back into her seat.

“What do you think you’re going to do?”

“What else, I’m going to help that student,” Alisa responded while trying to stand up from her chair, but was unable to budge due to Loki’s hand that was on her shoulder. It felt like there was a heavy rock placed on her shoulder.

“So what do you think you’re going to do, go out there and talk to them, do you think that will work?” Loki’s voice grew louder as he was trying to control himself.

“Then are you telling me to just let this go? Someone needs help, and is probably frightened now and wants someone to be on his side. I want to help that person, just as big brother always helps me.”

.....

Loki looked at Alisa’s eyes and saw a similar conviction as Shera’s. The two already looked similar but seeing those eyes filled with conviction, Loki could practically see Shera’s shadow standing beside Alisa. Loki sighed before he gave out his response.

“Fine, I will do it. I’ll go and help that kid.” When Liam and Alisa heard what Loki said they looked at him in surprise. Their older brother was never one to step forward like this and initiate a conflict.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Me too, I’ll come with.” Alisa and Liam immediately responded.

“No need I’ll do it myself. Don’t worry I’m not the same as I was before. This is one of the reasons I go to the gym, if it comes to it I can somehow defend myself or just run away with the kid.” Loki smiled as he ruffled the heads of his siblings.

“But-” Alisa was about to say something, but before she could do so Loki interrupted her.

“No buts, there’s no time to argue, see the three of them are about to turn a corner. If I don’t leave now, I’ll lose them. You two eat as much as you can and once you’re done you two better head home. Oh right, here’s my card so if you want to order more just do so.” Loki handed his credit card to Alisa, and before either of his siblings could say anything he left.

After leaving the restaurant, Loki sprinted to an alleyway where he used [Enhancement] to jump on the walls and get to the roof. On top of the roof, he looked around and spotted the three students. Loki followed the three by jumping from roof to roof.

...

Michael who was heading home was stopped by the two delinquents from the same group as the two who Shin beat up during lunch.

“Hey Mike, how about you hang out with us for a while?” One of the delinquents spoke with a smile on his face. Before Michael could respond someone was already beside him who wrapped his arms around Michael’s neck. It was the other delinquent, and based on the uniform they were wearing these two were third-year students of the martial arts course.

Third-year students of the martial arts course in the school were mostly rank 2 martial artists at that level they could slice through boulders using swords. On the other hand, Michael wasn’t even a ranked martial artist and wasn’t strong enough to break a piece of wood. The strength difference between them meant Michael wasn’t even able to struggle properly. The three of them started walking away while one of the delinquents took out his phone and made a call.

“Boss we got him.”

“Great, the two of you bring him to me.”

...

Under a certain bridge, a group of students from the martial arts course were gathered. There were many students from the first year up to the sixth year students. They were many students in this group that were rank 2 martial artists. Yet among them, there was one individual that was more powerful than all of them combined.

Sitting in the center of the group was Mutou Hayate, a sixth-year student that was a peak rank 3 martial artist. He was just a few steps away from becoming a rank 4 martial artist, which was said to be the true beginning of any martial artist. ƒ𝓇ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟e𝚕. 𝒄𝗼𝐦

Hayate was once the most famous student in his school, that was until the appearance of Mikado Kira and Mugami Shin. These two freshmen were more talented than Hayate and come from equal or greater clans.

The strength of Mikado Kira came from his family which was the top martial arts family in the region. Not to mention Kira’s talent was also nothing to sneeze at, he was already at the peak of rank 2.

On the other hand, Mugami Shin came from a good clan as well, but it was weaker than the Mikado clan. What was frightening about Shin was not just his clan but his overwhelming talent. At the age of sixteen, he was already a rank 3 martial artist.

Hayate did not want to provoke either of them, especially Kira, since fighting them was not worth the trouble. As long as their paths don’t cross he wouldn’t care about the two of them. Yet today Shin had beaten up two of his subordinates and even gave out a warning.

Hayate could not remain passive after that. It didn’t matter what reason Shin had for beating his two subordinates, what mattered was that Shin was looking down on him. So Hayate needed to make sure that Shin knows his place. Which was why he had some of his men bring Michael to him so that Shin would not run away.
