Chapter 35 - Death?

The Magic Bullet flew straight through the rabbit's stomach, killing it in one go. The rabbit fell behind him due to the momentum while Theo frowned.

'I used the Magic Bullet to the sky because the trees are high enough to cover someone's vision. Unless they are nearby or flying, they shouldn't be able to see it. But it's truly risky…I should use it toward the trees or ground instead.' Theo shook his head in disappointment.

He turned around and bent his knees, touching the rabbit's fur.

A card with a rabbit's drawing fell off the corpse. Theo picked it up without hesitation.

Leaf Rabbit Fur (F)

Solid Ingredients for fashion clothes. It has soft and durable characteristics that can last for a long time.

"Nice." Theo smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, the five guys had watched his actions and discussed their decision.

"This kid is dangerous to Young Master Laust. We should kill him right now."

"Master's order is to keep this guy alive. We can't afford to do it."

"Then, should we break all his limbs and force him to open his mouth?"

"That's the only way. His transformation is too dangerous. Coupled with how he used his skill, Young Master's position will be in danger. No, he may lose in the near future. And if he continues this way… I'm afraid we can't touch him in the near future."

"Grand Gaia!" They gasped as if realizing Theo's plan. "He must have been hiding his real power this whole time and only properly used it recently."

"Roy. Break his limbs. He needs to stay in the hospital for a few months, so he has no chance to get into the competition and the young master doesn't need a rival." The captain ordered them as they walked together toward Theo, noticing the real problem. If Theo were able to make this kind of judgment this whole time, he had a big chance to get selected as one of the six participants since each grade could only have two people. By that time, it was impossible to touch Theo even if the head of the Lange Family made a move himself.

"…" Theo sensed them coming, but they were already several feet away from him, surrounding him in four directions while one of them walked forward while cracking his fingers.

'Assassins?' Theo's heart skipped a beat. 'On whose order? Laust? Wait, why are they here? Since when they actually followed me? I already put on my mask. Unless they started tailing me from—!'

It was at this moment, Theo realized he f*cked up.

"You brat! You are not going to die today, but it doesn't mean you can leave without suffering." The man smirked.

"A set of black uniforms that only shows your eyes… What are you? Ninjas? Oh, come on. Don't impersonate someone's job." Despite knowing it was useless, Theo tried to buy time while searching for an escape route.

However, the other guy seemed to feel nothing with Theo's provocation as he said, "I wonder if you can scream as much as you talk."

"I see. That bastard Laust, huh." Theo snorted while releasing his killing intent.

Although they didn't shout back or whatsoever, Theo could see the slight change in their expression. They were disturbed when he said that, so it must be from Laust.

"Your mouth isn't qualified to utter his name." The guy started becoming agitated.

"It's freedom of speech. He has been bullying me this whole time and when he suffers, he is relying on his family. No wonder he is a trashy young master. He can only rely on his family." Theo made a smug smile as if he wasn't scared of dying.

Little did they know Theo's heart beat rapidly as cold sweat covered his back.

"You Bastard! You don't know anything about the young master!" The guy couldn't accept Theo's words and snarl out loud.

"Roy!" The captain called his name, reminding him what they needed to do.

Theo, on the other hand, found something wrong with his words. In that instant, everything clicked in his mind as he shook his head in disappointment. "I see. It's not Laust, but someone higher. Either way, this is the deed of the Lange Family.

"I have never even offended you, but you all have been targeting me this whole time. This is just bullying the weak." Theo complained to see their reaction again.

When Roy was about to rebuke him, the captain shouted. "Roy! Do your mission. Did you forget what you have been taught? And he is dangerous. Destroy his vocal cords."

"!!!" That sentence woke Roy up and regained his calm in one breath. He was the most hot-headed guy among them, so he almost forgot that they were not supposed to say anything during the mission.

Usually, they went to a high-level mission to deal with someone powerful, so his guard was lowered a bit because he just needed to deal with a boy without any background. Even with Theo knowing a little bit of information, it wasn't like he had the ability to pursue this in a legal way, but it certainly would displease their master.

Using the time he took to calm his heart, Theo turned around and ran as fast as he could.

Roy suddenly appeared in front of him and tried to block him, but Theo leaped to the air while releasing his skill.

"Magic Bullet."

Boom.

'Did I get him?' Theo thought but shook it off his mind as he needed to escape this encirclement first.

As if reading his mind, Roy appeared right in front of him as he punched him to the ground while saying. "No, you didn't."

"!!!"

Bam.

Theo was hit right on the face and crashed to the ground as the dust kicked up due to the Magic Bullet's explosion and his body.

The five assassins waited for a moment but didn't hear anything from Theo for a minute.

"Did he die?" Roy frowned and decided to check him, resulting in him walking closer to Theo.

He waited for the dust to settle down, so he could check Theo's condition.

When he was about to duck down, Theo emerged from the smoke and slashed his sword downward, trying to split this guy into two.

"Roy!" Another assassin warned his teammate, albeit it was too late.

The so-called Roy had not enough time to cast his skill, so he tried to rely on his strength and combat techniques alone, grasping the sword with both palms.

Had Theo waited for another second, his plan would succeed.

However, a blue light fluctuated inside the smoke that almost disappeared. It flew straight toward Roy's abdomen.

"Gah!" Roy spat blood. The pain was there, but everything he could think was how? How could Theo use such a technique when he himself couldn't. Yet, that thought didn't last long as his grip loosened, allowing Theo to complete his swing.

When Roy's body fell, he found another figure among the smoke on the ground and died with shock.

"Roy!" The shout echoed again as he leaped toward Theo, punching his abdomen.

However, Theo disappeared without any trace.

Unknown to him, the blue light appeared again within the smoke, flying through the man's heart.

"Impossible!" The man widened his eyes in surprise, finding Theo on the ground.

Theo's figure rose from the ground and grabbed the sword with his left hand, looking at the remaining three.

"!!!" The leader shivered when he saw this. His eyes were wide open and his teeth were clenching. 'This brat had known that he wasn't our opponent and pretended to be unconscious within the dust then waited for us to approach and suddenly killed us by surprise! This kid…Is he really the same Theodore Griffith in the report?'
