Chapter 1 : 終わりの始まり[パートI]

Owarinohajimari [part-I]

The start of the End. [Part-I]

Humans. Such weak creatures, aren't they? Such naiveness, such pity. If they were given fame for 3 people, still they would not be able to form an answer. Why? Why must I be born like this? Why must my mind work like this? ..... It's all your fault. All yours, Humans.

I was born like this. Like a pitiful and weak character. Was I given a choice? I was born so weak, so poor, so foolishly, but Why?

____________________________________________

I was taken in from a strange storm, a death storm, people were dying, waiting for an answer in the cold rain and questionable nature. I was left alone.

Alone, until I was noticed by a old man fleeing. I wasn't sad.

I wasn't able to feel sad.

The old man took me in.

His house, the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life of just 2 years.

Well-lit, warm and welcoming. If onIy every person was like this. If only.

His name was Theort Nashua, a poor noble, who was the most impressive person I have ever seen.

His fake smile looked so real.

He took me in, gave me food, cleaned me up, took care of me.

All for me, a useless and emotionless kid on the side of the road.

He was the most important person in my life.

He also had a wife.

She was kind and caring as well, this couple were like angels bringing justice on my poor self.

He was so nice to me till I turned 8. I learned how to speak, read and understand only at the age of 4. Prodigy as you would call it, but no, this was the only way I could repay him.

By giving him everything.

He deserved it.

At the age of 5, he spent thousands of silver* on my education. I was trained in 'The Elay of the Class'.

It wasn't a school. It was a assassin training program.

Still not able to understand perfectly, I followed through, this was my payment to my foster-parents.

But. But. Why?

I was 7 when I was told by him that I was not their child.

I knew it from the moment he took me in. Still even if, I still respect them.

I only took afternoon classes to avoid any problems, I was only 7, wasn't I?.

I would always skip some questions on the test, to always have the average score.

I didn't want to cause trouble for them.

I was enrolled as a short 11 year old, but only some knew that was a lie. Why do I have to be so stupid? Why?

One afternoon, a little girl came up to me. She said her name was Millia Sherie.

She was a kid, who was really popular and nice, but had a dark side.

She was a complete nympho.

I wish I hadn't met her then.

She would always talk to me in break and would treat me as a friend. I never cared. I never wanted to.

'Hey, Nice hoodie, this is the fourth time, right? Hahahaha!'

She said one evening.

I was a dark and unapproachable kid. She was so nice to me.

'Mhhm..'

I said.

That was the first time I had replied to her non-sense.

I wish I could go back in time and cut my tongue off.

At the age of 8, We had to graduate a private assassination school for trainees.

My heart was burning. Why was I so exited? This is not the first time that I will be fighting upper ups.

Why?

There was a calm-looking, handsome and slender man looking at me.

He definitely saw me clench my face and heart in excitement.

I was embarrassed, but could not show it.

I wish I could have.

It was a normal tournament. Those who are above rank 200, they fail. There are a whopping 360 students here. According to the rules, I would have to be rank 120 or more to pass but also be unnoticeable.

But, at that moment. At 14th of March, Year 383X, 9 o' clock, The Elay of the Class private academy, My whole life was torn apart.

Not because I was chosen to be the hero or something, but because that same cool looking man stood up from his chair.

[As the Vice-chairman of this academy, I would like to add some more rules. First, Everyone from the rank 199 to 361 are expelled immediately. Secondly, You will be finally given your nickname]

Those words. That man. I hate them. I suppressed my hatred and agreed.

Even the top students were shocked to hear those words.

[ Lastly, You will be given your soul weapon, before the match starts, so go to the start-up room on floor 4. Good luck.]

Why? Why does this man piss me so off?

I want to kill him.

I want to let him learn a thing about hatred.

'Oh? What is this about hatred and killing me'

That voice. Again?

The Vice-chairman comes out of the shadow the locker, where I'm all alone for being late. 'So? Why do you want to kill me?'

He questions again.

Why you ask?

[§ You pissed me off, that's why. §]
