Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Conversation during dinner

Loki was eating dinner with his siblings while watching the news. The news was all about the rise and fall of the Yui Clan. When Loki saw that the only members left of the Yui Clan were two siblings from the main family, he unconsciously sighed. It would seem that even without him killing them they still had a tragic fate.

‘I hope that John finds a bit of comfort in the knowledge that not all of his wife’s siblings had perished...’

At the thought of the Yui Clan’s main family, Loki could not help but remember the head of the Clan that was now reported to be dead.

‘That guy Minato was a rather surprising opponent. Even though he didn’t get a hit in, it’s obvious that Minato’s attack was something my current self cannot block. If he was a little bit faster and his state of mind was calmer he would’ve been a harder opponent to handle. Even now it’s hard to believe that guy was on the weaker side of the rank seven martial artists. It might’ve been difficult if he was one of those supposed geniuses that Harold told me about.’

At the mention of geniuses, Loki remembered Shin and the woman called Leila. If they were at the same level of strength as Minato then it was possible that he would’ve been severely injured.

Loki who was in deep thought as he was watching the news finally noticed that Alisa was looking at him weirdly and so was Liam.

“What are you two looking at, is there something on my face?” As he asked Loki made a gesture of wiping his face.

.....

“Big brother why didn’t you tell me that you’ve gained inner energy!” Alisa spoke while pouting.

“Yeah, how could you keep such big news from us,” Liam spoke looking a bit excited.

“... Huh, how do you guys know about that?”

“You’re not even going to deny it...”

“Can you answer the question, first?”

“... We heard from everyone in school. Some people from school were talking about it.”

When Loki heard this answer he was quite confused. He was sure that no one else was there when he was talking to the Captain and the Patriarch of the Mutou Clan. Then how did the news spread?

“How did those students find out about it?”

“I think they said that they heard it from the teachers who were talking to each other.”

The teachers? It was at that moment Loki figured out who was the culprit of spreading this information. The Principal was the only other person from the school that knew of the Captain and the Patriarch’s arrival. So either the Patriarch or the Captain told the Principal about his situation who in turn told some of the teachers.

‘It’s already been a few days since then, so should I be happy that he was able to hold on for so long without telling anyone, or should I be angry that he told other people my personal information?’ Loki sighed.

“Fine, since you guys already know it’s no use to hide it. Yeah, I did awaken my inner energy.”

“Damn bro, do you think that I could also awaken my inner energy?”

Liam spoke excitedly. When Loki saw Liam’s expression he can’t believe that this little brother of his was so cold when he just transmigrated. Loki patted his little brother’s head and answered.

“Yeah, since I could awaken it now it’s possible that your inner energy could awaken as well. We can go and check in the government’s martial arts department.”

“Seriously!” Liam grew even more excited as he heard Loki’s answer, in fact, he was so excited that he wasn’t bothered by Loki patting his head.

“Big brother, what about you, are you going to take the Martial Arts Rank Assessment?”

When Loki heard that new term, a flood of information came into Loki’s mind, this hasn’t happened in a while. He had recovered some memories of the Martial Arts Rank Assessment. As the name implied it was a test to see what your martial arts rank was. The test could be performed in any of the government’s Martial Arts Department Buildings. It was the same place were one could check if an individual had any inner energy.

Based on Loki’s memories the siblings only went there once when they were younger to test to see if they had inner energy. At that time they had tested negative, usually, there was no chance of gaining inner energy later on in life, but there were some very rare occurrences were a select few gain inner energy later on in life. Seeing as Loki was like that maybe his siblings were as well.

“I guess I could take the assessment at the same time you two retake that test to see if you have any inner energy.”

“Wait I’m doing that as well?”

Alisa had a confused expression on her face. She knew that the chances of gaining any inner energy later on in life were even more minuscule than the chance to gain it when one was younger, not to mention the money needed to take the second reassessment.

“Of course, you should, seeing as Liam and I are going you should also take the chance to see if there are any changes.”

“But-” Alisa was going to reason that they shouldn’t waste their money, but as if reading her mind Loki spoke first.

“I know you’re thinking about the payment for the second reassessment, but you don’t have to worry about that. Let me worry about the money.” Loki patted Alisa’s head as he spoke.

“But-”

“No buts, I already said we’re going so we’re going.”

Seeing that her big brother doesn’t seem like he would budge from his decision Alisa could only sigh as she nodded her head. They then started discussing when they would go to the Martial Arts Department. After a rather long discussion, they decided to go during this coming weekend.

Once they were done talking, Alisa went to clean the dishes, Liam started his homework and Loki headed back to his room. Once inside his room, Loki lay on his bed.

‘As I expected those two also have inner energy but for some reason, it was also hidden and suppressed. This must mean someone deliberately suppressed our inner energy, but who could’ve done it? It should’ve been someone close to the family, but when did that person suppress our inner energy and why?... Tsk, if only I had the former Loki’s full memory then finding the culprit would’ve been easier.’

Loki looked at his ceiling and sighed. It would seem that the situation of the Matsuda family was more complicated than he initially thought.
