Over 200 years ago, before the 19th century, the five senses; hearing, smell, taste, touch and
vision were known by
scientists as the only ways by which humans perceived and
responded to their environment.
However, there is a 6th sense also known as Extrasensory
Perception (ESP). ESP is a science fictional theory which gives
humans the ability to perceive and respond to their surroundings without using any of the five
physical senses, it
is defined as having a keen intuitive power.
In year 1830, a psychologist couple from a university in Durham, United States, brought up the
theory of humans having the 6th sense and they tried proving it by using Zener
cards in their experiments but their theory was rejected by the science world because of their lack
of evidence.
Although, The Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) concept was known to be fictional by scientists
of that era, there were few
humans who existed at that time who had awakened their sixth sense either through; a rare
mutation in their genes, escaping their earthly tether by achieving a high level of
spirituality in relation to some religious beliefs of those period, meditation, Prāņāyāma, Trāțaka
or by becoming one with nature.
After awakening their 6th sense, these group of people had either the ability to predict the future
through dreams and
visions, float in air, manipulate a kind of natural element, bend little metallic objects with their
minds, speak to animals
and understand them or even possessed hyper-human reflexes.
When a scientist found out about this rare humans who awakened their 6th sense in 1880, 50
years after the 1st theory was rejected, he assembled a group scientists and restarted the research
on the human sixth sense (ESP) and they found out that we humans do have a 6th sense in our
genes but we have to awaken it to be able to feel our
surroundings with our minds.
In year 1917, after the theory of the 6th sense was proven present in our genes got wide spread in
the world of science.A group of scientists in a lab in China started an experiment which would
awaken all of Human's sixth sense and in their 1st test the lab exploded.
However, An anomaly happened after the explosion only the lab and the district were destroyed
by the blast the after math of the explosion spread all over the world like a virus killing 63.5%
of the world’s population.
The 37.5% of the human population who survived the radiation from the blast, which became
known as 'The Big Blast’, genes evolved and they were able to awaken their sixth sense, and that
was the beginning of a new age in Humanity's history, ‘The Age of Espers’.Children between the ages of 12-18 that survived ‘The Big Blast’ began unlocking kinetic
abilities. A kinetic ability or kinesis is the ability that makes a human able to manipulate various
elements and objects using their minds , and it can only be unlocked when one awakens their
Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) or 6th sense.
As for the adults who survived ‘The Big Blast’ , most were not able to unlock a kinetic ability
since they already passed the stage of
puberty.
The genetic evolution caused by the radiation of the Big Blast, took humanity back to its former
glory, which was achievable
due to the advanced impact it made to humans performance even though most didn’t unlock a
kinetic ability.
As time moved on and humans with kinetic abilities began increasing at a fast rate, most humans
didn’t have powerful kinetic abilities and most of those who had powerful abilities
and were able to perfect their control of their kinetic ability began oppressing others and some
went to a life of crime, which lead to the creation of the Assassins, the most elite
special force in the universe.
The creation of the Assassins Organisation was done by Al-Arrat Ismail, a man with 'Sturma'.
Sturma is the ability to manipulate the four natural-classical elements; air, earth, fire and water.
He fought against these people who used their ability to
oppress others and ended the “1st World Esper War”. Al—Arrat Ismail created the Assassin Organisation (AO) so as to
make people who are willing to fight for the freedom and Justice of humanity to become powerful kinetic ability
users through extensive training and this people after
graduating an assassin academy will be known as Assassins.
He became known as ‘The legendary assassin: The Founder'.
….The present.….
…..8pm Japan Standard Time (JST) ….
…..September 26, 2041….
….Bank of Japan…
…Chuo, Tokyo, Japan…
“3 mobs have attacked Nichigin, and the Tokyo Crime Force has begun preparations to engage with them, all civilians around the area should evacuate as soon as possible.".
“Danger level: yellow”
“Danger level: yellow"
“ Danger level: yellow"
“All civilians should evacuate Chuo district promptly, the crime force are having troubles dealing with the situation”
“ All civilians should evacuate Chuo district promptly ” The emergency robotic female voice echoed, followed by sirens in the area.
“ Chief, we need back up, over" 1st police solicited on the walkie-talkie.
“ But, I deployed 50 extra officers to your district, they should be more than enough, over" the Tokyo Chief of police responded.
“ Sir, that’s the problem they are all dead, the mobs we are facing aren’t Normal Espers, They are trained Espers and they’ve got powerful Kinetic abilities that even we captain ranked police officers may not be able to handle, they killed all my officers and 48 of the lieutenant you sent are dead sir. They killed them all, only 2 lieutenant remains and we will soon be killed too, over” the 1st police said desperately.
“How many of the mobs are their and how many are powerful espers, over" the chief asked.
“All of them sir,they are only 3 but only one who was left to guard the bank entrance took out all our men, over".
What, Only one of them took out 48 lieutenant ranked police officers–The chief couldn’t believe the words of captain at the other end of the call.
“…even we captain ranked police officers will not be able to handle…”.
“Danger level at Chuo is yellow, no one should go to that area, and those in the area should evacuate immediately" a female news reporter on the Chief’s screen announced disrupting his thought.
-Danger level yellow, what Derek said was true, Captains of the crime force will never be able to handle this level of danger, how is that even possible and they had to attack Nichigin which is part of the top 10 places in the world with the most powerful security system-The Chairman was furious.
And to think we brag about having the lowest crime rate in the world and we just lost 150 police officers in 45 minutes, he thought to himself.
“Oh Dammit, Captain Derek, this is beyond the crime force abilities we need to summon Assassins, over”
“but Sir, none should be in the area at all because of our low crime rate record, over”
“Now you listen to me Derek forget about that shit of we having the best security system in the world because the situation we at now says otherwise about us, and make a run for it, over"
“But Sir, we can’t let injustice prevail, it would be wrong if I do what you have ordered, over"
“Even if they win today we shall finally get them, because Justice always prevails. After all, citizens at that area are already evacuating and you are an important member of our nation’s security system if you go now there would be no way we can retaliate, so you get the hell out of there immediately, over and out" The Chairman ordered
“ Why is this even happening?, I thought we had the best security system in the world, is all my years of training in the crime force academy and climbing up the ranks to lieutenant useless?, why are these Mobs so powerful?” A police officer mumbled in despair before he got killed.
“Lee!!” captain Derek shrieked as the mob ripped out the man's head from his body.
“ I guess your next" The Mob who slayed the police officer said looking at Captain Derek.
officer Derek was about to make a run for it but tripped, falling to the ground, as the mob was about to pounce on him, a white light flashed causing a pause in time. After the flash, the mob's whole body was burnt on the floor and the officer was alive, aghast by his view.
“Is this really what a yellow danger level is, Mmph and the academy made it look like it was life threatening, the crime force should be able to deal with this" a strange man dressed in a white long coat said in a disappointing tone.
“ Ami, how many seconds did it take me" the strange man in the white coat asked, touching his left ear canal with his left index finger.
“0.00000003 sec!, that’s still slow I need to move faster" the strange man complained.
“ Who are you?” officer Derek who was still in shock of his narrow escape asked.
“ I am Bubax Taiga, a member of the TG9 (Tokyo Great 9)" The strange man replied with a grin.
….3:00 am….
….September 26, 2041….
….Minato City, Tokyo, Japan….
“No!” Taiga breathed heavily, he just woke up from his usual nightmares which he has been having since
he was a child.
“ Good morning Taiga, it’s the same nightmare again huh?” Ami, his female voiced personal AI(Artificial
Intelligence) assistant addressed after sensing he was awake.
“Yeah, same" Taiga sighed.
Ami starts telling him the schedule of the day, the weather conditions and Danger level in Minato city
and the whole of Tokyo.
On hearing that, he contrites on why he chose Tokyo, a city with one of the lowest crime rates in the
world. he begins assuming a place to relocate and what to do to his present home, as he changed from
his pajamas and moved out of his room heading towards his training room.
Entering his training room he voice activated his Training simulator and his AI assistant commenced the
session :
*Session Grade: Amateur
Training level: Extreme
Training Time limit: 1 hr.
Earth Time record: 45 min
Earth session grade completion record: 120 hrs.
Start!!!.
Appeared on a digital blue screen, suspended in air materialized in front of him . Upon hearing the
training level Taiga got enthusiastic and went frenzy.
The Training simulator is designed to improve pro-assassins; Ansatsuken ( assassin close combat
techniques), fitness, immunity, kinesis, resistance, speed and stealth. Bubax is presently at the last level
were all the skills will be tested by fighting 5 yellow threat level mob in a 60 degrees Celsius (140
degrees Fahrenheit) temperature, with a times 50 gravity level and poisonous gases present in the air.
“That’s it?, what a waste of $20,000” Taiga said in disappointment.
*Congratulations!!
Level cleared
New world record achieved
Training Time rec…..
Before the details could be completed on the digital blue screen Taiga voice deactivated the simulator.
“Hey Ami, don’t you think Mansa.corp swindled me out of my money, because I don’t think I have
improved at all from using this tech.”
“Taiga, statistically you've improved, the amateur grade session extreme level is equivalent to a yellow
danger level, which is a level specifically for amateur grade assassins, and in reality some amateur grade
assassins loose their lives or even sustain critical injuries that could last a lifetime during this type of
missions. while the other 46 levels before this level you finished were just a blue danger level which the
crime force could handle though amateur grade assassins would have little or no trouble handling.
This is your fastest time record. Also, for the past 6 months since the release of the Assassin training
Simulator (ATS) it has been recorded that the technology has improved many assassins especially
amateur grade assassins".
“Mmph, maybe true, that’s what the assassin academy also said about a real life yellow threat level and
maybe the tech isn’t fraud. But still, I got excited and didn’t get to go wild" Taiga exited the room
resentful.
Bubax Taiga is a 22 year old male with a muscular body, a dark brown skin color, an almost shoulder
length dark brown hair parted to his left, a dark brown eye color and a height of 5’8” (178cm).
“Bubax, reminder that your Assassin’s license will expire if you do not perform any mission or any duty
as an assassin a year after graduating the academy” Ami mentioned as Taiga headed to the living room.
he bounced on his couch after getting into the living room and reminisced on his reasons for joining
the assassin academy, how he had said after he graduates he would avenge his parents, solve a mystery
that the Assassin Organization (AO) have spent years on without any sign of progress and also get a
double grade promotion in his 1st year as a Pro-Assassin.
Whereas, 9 months has passed since he graduated and he is the lowest ranked assassin in the lowest
grade and his license is also at a high risk of expiration, these thoughts went for a while in his head
before he decided to go to his gym room to start training in probability of when he duels against
formidable enemies he wouldn’t loose against them.
After working out for 2hrs he took a cold shower. As he came out of the toilet while drying his hair with
his towel his smart phone by his front view, on his bed rang. The person on the line was his best friend,
