Academy Assassination Genius

My thumb tingled.

Premonition symptoms similar to when ＜crisis detection＞ was activated before.

When I raised my head, I saw a tail swung at me, enough to fill my field of vision.

‘It’s too late to avoid it. This is dangerous.’

A minor but fatal mistake.

Fatigue from the series of battles and fragments of emotions that would otherwise have been cut off held me back.

At the same time as a violent premonition of death wrapped around my throat.

「The unique attribute ＜Memory of the body＞ is activated.」

A unique trait that suddenly activates.

And then a red window appeared.

“warning! warning!”

「Unusual Approach.」

Regardless of my will, something is about to happen.

「The unique attribute ＜Body Memory＞ activates the normal attributes ＜Crisis Perception＞, ＜Blind Eye＞, and ＜Thought Acceleration＞.”

“I reflect on the past at the boundary between life and death.”

‘What?’

“Start the kaleidoscope.”

In an instant, the time around them began to pass slowly.

* * *

I was in a different place.

Inside the first room.

Through the night view seen through the closed curtains, I could see that this room was located on a fairly high floor.

“… This is a dream.”

A similar feeling to being invited to Maegu’s imagery space.

But it was a little different with him.

got a little more used to it.

As if I knew this place.

“I don’t remember ever being in a place like this.”

A place I don’t remember.

There is only one reason to feel familiar in a place like this, if not simply a sense of déjà vu.

“I said it was a kaleidoscope.”

It’s not even mine.

It seems that I looked too lightly at an old object that has been aged for thousands of years.

Due to the tools he possessed, the compatibility was a bit worth trying, but looking back, it wasn’t a very favorable situation.

As long as it was a life-or-death situation from the beginning, it was a structure in which damage would inevitably come out no matter how well you responded.

“It was hasty. There must have been another way.”

Otherwise, Phase 2, he should have seen the match right before he changed into the form of a giant fox youkai.

Before that, there might have been a way not to start a fight per se.

“As long as their purpose was to take my body, the room for negotiations would have been close to zero.”

This is also a position to borrow.

There is morality, and you can’t just give this body to someone else.

If the original owner allows it, you can think about it a little, but from the point of view of the tenant who lives in first, it is an agenda that has no choice but to oppose it.

“Anyway, I underestimated the enemy too much.”

A rusty half sword that looks nothing but scrap metal.

I didn’t expect that he was hiding this much power in that form.

Even though it was in that state, he should have suspected that he had something hidden as he had lived for a long time.

“As you said, in the past, it might have been a great youkai with tremendous power.”

Although the background is a bit bothersome.

I’ll think about that later, but before that, what should I do with this rudder?

Has the unique trait ＜Memory of the body＞, which has been silent until now, suddenly activated?

When will this kaleidoscope end?

I didn’t get a feel for such a question.

Can you see the presence of people outside the door?

It seems that something is going to happen in this room in the future.

Jump-

Entering the room were men in black suits and a middle-aged man who looked like a nerd at first sight.

Judging from the fact that he has six bodyguards, it seems that he has a lot of money.

Or maybe there are a lot of enemies.

‘It feels like watching a realistic movie or play.’

blackout.

For an instant, darkness descended.

The old man was taken aback, and the bodyguards were immediately on alert.

Dusk mana wrapped around the body.

He wasn’t a great player, but he seemed to have the skills to make security a career.

‘come.’

My eyes could see everything clearly even in the dark.

Something small fell quietly from the ceiling.

without a sound of footsteps.

It moved silently without making a rustle of clothes, and began to act as soon as it fell from the ceiling.

“… … .”

What I pulled out was a dagger painted black.

The build quality isn’t bad, but it’s not an artifact or an enchanted item.

It wasn’t even strengthened by putting mana on top of the blade.

However, the scene unfolding before my eyes was extremely one-sided.

The rug gets wet from the simple knife action.

So two, then three, then four.

‘There is no hesitation in action.’

After defeating four in a row, there are three left.

Only two bodyguards and a middle-aged nerd who looks like a target.

“What are you doing!”

The two remaining people also collapsed helplessly despite the screeching orders of the young man.

Killing people didn’t require any profound and grandiose skills.

muscle relaxation and contraction.

between breath and breath.

The attack aimed at the gap in consciousness pierced the mana that was wrapped around the body and pierced the blade.

‘This is possible without using mana?’

Conversely, all the bodyguards he defeated had mana wrapped around their bodies in preparation for an attack.

The bodyguards, who would have been D-class or higher, were annihilated in a surprise attack by a child who did not even know how to use mana.

It was absurd, but I couldn’t deny it even after seeing the scene in front of my eyes.

‘Ten years old? No matter how many, I can only see that much?’

Is it tall enough to come to my chest?

More than half of his face is covered with cloth, but I can tell.

That’s Hanzo.

Maybe he was called by a different name than Hanzo in those days.

“Who sent you!”

“… … .”

Without answering the old man’s question, Hanzo brushed off the blood on his dagger and slowly approached.

“I don’t know how much I got, but that ship… No, I’ll give you five times as much.”

“… … .”

“Ten times the amount received! If this isn’t enough, twenty times more… .”

The old man’s words did not carry on to the end.

This is because the neck rolling on the floor has already been said goodbye to the torso.

‘It’s not a very pleasant scene to watch.’

Seven corpses created in an instant.

The bizarre sensation of watching a movie or a play remains the same, but it wasn’t very pleasant to witness a scene where a person dies right in front of your eyes.

I turned my head away from the corpse and shifted my gaze to the one boy who had created it.

“So Hanzo was a real assassin.”

If it was that he had been working as a contractor since he was young, he said everything.

It seems that the numerous scars carved on Hanzo’s trained body were not cool.

“Eyes have had a taste since then.”

Maybe even worse than now.

Cloudy eyes that can’t feel any vitality.

I don’t know what the blurry thing is thinking, and I can’t even feel the will to live.

“… So what did you want to show me? Hanzo has such an unfortunate past. Did you want to create a consensus like that?”

I asked a question in Hanzo’s past.

And the subject of the question was set to one person.

“Are you a writer?”

I called out names that I would have resented hundreds or thousands of times, but as always, there was no answer.

Sooner or later this kaleidoscope will end.

Before that, I spoke to the original owner of this body, Hanzo of the past, who was recreated through the Kumamoto.

“Hey, Hanzo. I am the tenant renting your body.”

“… … .”

There was no answer coming back.

Of course.

Because this is just Hanzo in a kaleidoscope reproduced through memories of the past.

But I didn’t stop talking.

“I don’t know who you are or what you are doing. I have no intention of sympathizing with or sympathizing with your unfortunate past.”

The kaleidoscope ends.

A fleeting moment of time ending as abruptly as before it began.

“Instead, I’ll use my body well and return it. I’m waiting for you.”

Hanzo looked me in the eye, and the corners of his mouth went up slightly.

It would not have been an illusion of my eyes to see it like that.

* * *

‘I’m back.’

It seems that I have seen a kaleidoscope for a fairly long time, but the passage of time did not exist in the meantime.

However, it is not that nothing has changed in the meantime.

“The rare attribute ＜Weakness Detection＞ is awakened.”

＜Identification of Weaknesses＞

classification

– Rare traits

Explanation

-Able to read the flow of power, albeit weakly.

– You can see through your weaknesses through the flow you read.

-If the difference in strength is extreme, it is impossible to identify a weakness.

Judging by the use of the expression awakened rather than acquisition or acquisition, it is a characteristic that was created under the influence of the unique characteristic ＜Body Memory＞.

It’s probably fair to say that he was able to use it because he saw the kaleidoscope he just saw.

‘I’m quite concerned about the contents of the magic lantern, but I’ll have to put that aside for now.’

The time passing around me was still slow enough.

What you see in front of you is a group of huge tails reminiscent of a tsunami.

However, one thing has changed.

‘Is this the ＜weakness detection＞ ability?’

between the third and fourth tails.

Compared to other parts, the flow of power was unnatural.

Maybe that’s where it’s weak point.

‘It’s just that it’s like that compared to other parts, but it’s the same that it’s not an attack that I can withstand with my bare body.’

but a hidden number.

I had at least one joker card left.

It hurts to have to use this here, but it’s better than dying in vain in a place like this.

well- well-

The sound of metal colliding with metal.

The moment the pulsation of the chains formed in my ears, the slow-flowing time began to regain its original speed.

“I will make good use of your body.”

“Who do you want?”

Squeeze out a small amount of mana and pour it into the chain.

I put my will on mana and deliver it together.

-Accept me as your master!

There was not enough time to take the right steps.

So I have no choice but to force myself to submit to accepting him as my master.

Chara la la la rock!

The chains come loose.

As if it was a lie that the two prongs barely moved, the eight-pronged chain sprang out.

‘Is it a sign of rebellion that he didn’t completely accept me as his master?’

It was fortunate that the resistance was not as strong as expected.

It seems that he quite liked the fire of Yoo Hyeon-hwa he ate just before.

“Kowloon mythological group.”

Flames soar above the red-hot chain.

The flames took shape, and the chain took the shape of a great eight-headed dragon.

A gushing chain coils around it.

I could only feel the coldness of the water that had sunk down to my shins, but I did not feel the acrid heat characteristic of heated metal.

And the tail waggled.

Kwaang!!

In an instant, his vision went white.

‘It’s more powerful than I expected… !’

I forcibly held on to the string of consciousness that was about to be cut by the shock beyond imagination.

Do not faint.

The moment you lose consciousness, you die.

“Ugh… .”

The sight that had been smoldering white returned.

I felt the cold water on my back.

Through my half-open field of vision, I could see a starless sky.

‘I have to stand up and straighten my posture.’

Seeing the blood boiling in his mouth, it seemed that his intestines had turned into mush.

After checking the condition of my body, a beat later, pain engulfs my body.

Emotions and pain are not cut out.

“… … !”

I couldn’t even scream at the excruciating pain.

boom-

Instead of screaming, blood dripped from his mouth.

“Cut out your emotions.”

The blade that had cut through my emotions was swung one beat late.

The blunt blade couldn’t even cut through a quarter of the pain it was meant to cut.

“Damn it… .”

The blade that had been swung several times cut the pain to the point where I could barely let out a scream.

At least it reads and moves the weak points, reduces the power, and surrounds the Kowloon Mythology Team.

If it wasn’t for that, the attack just wouldn’t have woken me up again.

‘The injured body is slowly but recovering.’

This is not the image space.

What constitutes this body now is not blood and flesh, but my spirit.

If you hold onto your mind properly, your body will naturally recover.

When I came to my senses, the muddy intestines slowly began to recover.

[Tsk, I heard that the taste of the hand is very bad. The power was a little lacking.]

After barely recovering my body, the animal’s footsteps came right in front of me.

To hide the fact that my condition was far from normal, I pretended nothing was wrong with my reply.

“That was pretty close.”

The water that has risen up to my shins is only dyed red around me.

It looks like he vomited a lot of blood.

Even now, the refluxed blood is coming down the esophagus.

[Looking at the condition, it doesn’t seem like there’s much left.]

“I guess that’s what I’m talking about. Didn’t you just pay a heavy price for that blow?”

The haze has faded, and most of all, its size has shrunk to less than half.

It must have been because he used up a lot of energy for the previous blow.

[No matter how good a warrior you are, it would be impossible to avoid attacks with that physical condition.]

“Like you said, standing still is difficult. I am no longer fighting you.”

[What does that mean… .]

The fire that had been suppressed for a while soars again.

An eight-headed fire dragon rising from the feet of Maegu.

“You should have been careful with your feet.”

[trap! It’s like a clever human being!]

As if wrapping around Maegoo’s huge body, an eight-headed fire dragon rushed at it.
