“Hey, you guys listened to this? A new student is coming”. One of the classmates of Tsubaki said enthusiastically. “The principal himself brought him”!

At the next moment, the students of the class started a buzz. Tsubaki gazed at the commotion disinterested, she had more things to do to escape that shitty class, and just wanted the teacher to come.

She thought rationally that, if the principal had called the student he would never be in F class, better known as the lair of black lambs. The worst class at the Nakiri Assassination School.

“What a waste of time”. Tsubaki murmured angrily.

“Right! Hey guys, take the seats”! The teacher finally entered exclaiming. “We have an illustrious presence today. A new student”!

Tsubaki raised an eyebrow quizzically, could it be another student?

“He was found for the principal a little time ago, and now is ready to start taking lessons too, so I hope you guys will stop being wild beasts and welcome him properly”.

After that… strange presentation by the teacher, she looked at the door and nodded. Tsubaki heard some footsteps approaching; in the next moment, she saw the new student.

At first sight, she thought he was extremely normal, even a little weak. His brown hair was combed back with gel, the uniform was perfectly adjusted, and his golden eyes showed disinterest.

But for some reason, Tsubaki could feel a restlessness within her, as if the boy was strange.

“My name is Asahi”. The boy told his face totally blank. “Actually, I don´t like violence, but I hope we can get along well”.

With these uninteresting words, Asahi walked at one of the vacant desks, sitting down, looking straight ahead without blinking for some seconds, Tsubaki frowned, she understood the principal, feeling angry starting to fill her stomach.

The “Lair of black lambs”, was about to become a monster´s den, and she was going to stop it.

*

Nakiri Assassination School, a secret institution created to house children of renowned killer families, and heirs of powerful clans. Tsubaki learned a lot from the teachers and classmates, it was her second year at the school, but she was unable to climb to another class.

Maybe Asahi was a test of the principal, a target marked to die before becoming a real monster. Nobody seemed to notice the strangeness of the situation so, after the first classes; Tsubaki went to the boy´s desk.

“Hey, want to have lunch? I think we need to talk a little”. Asahi looked at the girl quizzically, she knew it was unnatural, but she needed to give a shot.

“I know you”? Asahi asked confused.

“Not yet, but I need to ask you some questions”.

Asahi closed his eyes, sighed but got up. Tsubaki smiled.

“I will pay for your lunch, come”!

The two went to the cafeteria. Asahi ordered a coffee only.

“You don´t lunch”?

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

“Not really; I only like to drink something, but I think this is not what you want to ask me, right”? The boy narrowed his eyes.

Tsubaki rolled her eyes, apparently, she couldn´t be smooth in her approach.

“How many you killed on your career”? She asked bluntly.

Asahi took a long sip of his coffee before answering.

“Nobody”.

“Liar, you have these eyes”. Tsubaki got up from her chair looking down at Asahi.

The guy finished his coffee before looking closely at Tsubaki whit a little grin.

“You too”.

The girl watched the boy closely too, sighing. At the next moment, a strange looked at the two.

“Oh, they are going to kiss”!

Hearing that, Tsubaki blushed, taking distance from Asahi, looking around to disguise and see if anyone was watching.

But Asahi perceived; Tsubaki was accusing him, even when she had the same trait that the boy.

“If you are worried about your life here, relax”. Asahi started. “I don´t have any motivation to kill”.

“So you´re in the wrong place, we have to kill here”.

He doesn´t answer, only got up from the chair starting to go to the class. Tsubaki only looked at his back, wondering if she could trust what he had said.

She was lost in her mind, but a noise called her back to reality, a noise coming from the direction of Asahi, she looked at the direction of the noise. Only to see a guy of Class A, lifting him off the ground; a tray full of food was lying beside the guy, and two of his friends with him.

“Hey, bastard! That food costed money, you know”? The guy said very close to Asahi´s face.

Asahi didn´t move a muscle, but he looked calm.

“You bumped into me”.

“What”? The guy of A-class dropped Asahi on the floor, preparing a punch. He tried to hit the class F boy, but his fist stopped inches from Asahi´s face, Tsubaki frowned and came closer to the scene that started to draw the attention of others.

Now, close enough she recognized the guy, Adam was his name. An exchange student from an English family. He was a very tall guy, with a muscular constitution; golden hair, big black eyes… Adam was known as “The Bull of Class A”, so it was strange to think he would hesitate against Asahi.

But, the girl saw what the F class did. His eyes were glowing.

He is already using it! Tsubaki exclaimed on her mind.

“Adam”? One of the friends of the English boy touched his arm. “Are you alright”?

Adam seemed to come back of his trance, his angry returning.

“Yeah! I only need to hit this bastard”!

The punch this time was completed, but Asahi dodged the attack with mastery. One second later, he was already standing behind Adam.

A kick hit Adam in the left ear, making the bull scream in pain as he fell. With one hand on the injured spot.

The A class got up quickly, trying to punch Asahi as many times he could, but missing all of them, but… in the next second, he gave the F class a kick that knokecd him dowm.

He wasted no time, climbing on top of Asahi and now throwing a dozen punches to his face. Everytime Adam raised his fist, a new spurt of blood painted his hands red.

For some reason, however, Tsubaki was uncomfortable, as if Ashi was toying with Adam.

“Adam! Stop! Stop”! The friends of the bull pulled him from Asahi. “It´s over Adam, let´s go”…

The next moment was confusing even for Tsubaki, she blinked and Adam´s two friends were on the floor, Asahi was standing again, his face covered in blood.

“Thank you”. Asahi said sighing. “You pissed me off”!

It was a massacre, Asahi jumped towards Adam, attacking his stomach, his joints, and his face with straight punches, he didn't seem to stop even to breathe, the strength of his blows seemed to be increasing.

Tsubaki knew what that was ...

Limit Break, her suspicions were right, that boy was an abnormality just like her…

Adam was knocked out, the students seeing the fight didn´t knew what to say.

Tsubaki ran before Asahi could potentially kill Adam, hitting the boy in the neck and knocking him over.

“You idiot”! She screamed dragging him to the infirmary.

*

News of the fight quickly spread across the campus. Fights were not forbidden, but the brutality of the attack from a boy from class F to one from class A surprised everyone.

All but two people.

Two girls visited the infirmary to see Adam's condition, covered in bandages he was unconscious on a bed. One of them approached the bed, sitting on Adam's chest and waking him up in pain.

“Lady… Elizabeth”? Adam was surprised.

“Hello, bull. The newbie broke you in half huh”?

Elizabeth was smilling, but Adam thought she couldn´t be scarier than that.

“I´m sorry lady Elizabeth, he turned into a demon out of nowhere”!

“Yeah, I know, I saw everything. You did well Adam, now I don´t need you anymore”.

“What? But this was not the deal”!

Elizabeth waved to the bull of A-class, on the next moment, Adam screamed, the infirmary door was opened, Elizabeth came out humming and covered in blood. Inside the room, Adam's body could be seen cold and lifeless.
