Chapter 37: Student? (1/2)

”Just get out of my way, ants.”

After that sentence, her voice became calm and indifferent. Her gaze was collected and bored. Yet, the two assassins felt that they were doomed to die when their eyes intertwined. ”I want that kid.”

”Who are you?!” The captain pulled out his sword, raising his stance.

”Who am I…” The old lady smiled. ”I'm just a passerby who happens to meet an unfortunate kid bullied by adults. So, I want to screw the adults by making them in his position, so they know what it feels to be helpless.”

”You… You are strong, but are you sure you want to offend a big family just for this kid?” The captain tried to negotiate without mentioning his backing to test the water.

”Big Family? I don't give a sh*t to your Lange Family. Even if the head of your family here, he only has two choices: Kneel or die.” The old lady snorted as the spear on her hand glowed. The spear had a beautiful silver handle with rose patterns on its head and butt. The blade was half black, half green, becoming contrast to the silver color.

The sudden action made these two panic as the trainee screamed out loud while trying to attack her.

Unfortunately, he might be doing it for spite, but Theo wanted to have revenge for himself. He shot the assassin with his magic bullet, destroying his heart.

”Ho?” Impressed by Theo's action, she smiled and walked closer to the captain.

”Tch.” The captain clicked his tongue and took out a flashbang and a smoke grenade, throwing it to the ground at the same time.

Bang.

A high-pitched sound echoed, followed by a disturbing ringing sound. Theo managed to protect himself from the flash by looking away, but he was too weak to lift his hand to close his ears, so he had a hard time opening his eyes due to the pain in his ears.

At the same time, the smoke grenade masked the area with white smoke as he escaped with his fastest speed, knowing that the old woman was far stronger than him.

”He…” Theo wanted to tell the old lady that if the assassin escaped, they both would be in trouble, but the pain stopped him.

Seeing the resolve in his eyes behind the smoke, the old lady smiled and thrust her glowing spear to the right.

The golden light surrounding the spear's blade flew and turned into a torrential shock wave.

The trees were shredded into pieces while the ground was pushed back and created a huge half-circular trail on the ground. The moment the shock wave hit the captain, it burst him into pieces as his blood dyed the ground red.

Because the smoke was still rising, the old lady gently waved her hand as the breeze once again appeared, blowing all the smoke away before kicking the smoke grenade away.

”To point that spear at me… Brat, do you want to die?” asked the old lady with her cold expression. ”You do know that I just saved your life, right?”

”I…know.” Theo struggled just even to utter one word, so he couldn't really answer her.
