Giovanni's Perspective

We are AAA-class adventurers. That night at the outskirts of Miravenia Academy, staying at a horse inn, we were awoken by a magical telegram. It seems there's an urgent assassination request. We've defeated the Red Dragon, conquered the 120th floor of the dungeon, and acquired numerous legendary treasures. We've had adventures that could have made us famous, but we're not very well-known publicly because we've operated in the shady world of the thieves' guild.

Assassination isn't our main job, but taking on dark assignments from the underworld isn't unusual for us. "Amadeus really knows how to use people! Summoning us in the middle of the night," I complained. "He must be desperate. Well, we'll put him in our debt and milk him for all he's worth. We should have plenty of money from the demons," I strategized.

Calmly, I reassured Scarpia and moved to plan our strategy. "So, what's the job? Slaughter six students then finish off the secretary?" I asked. "Idiot, we wouldn't waste our efforts like that. Our only goal is the secretary's demise," Scarpia replied, stabbing his knife into a wooden box.

"Right, we'll take the opportunity to dispose of the six as a means to isolate the secretary," I nodded. "That's why enemy scouting is crucial. We've got the academic records for Class 3, even though it was rushed," I noted. "The most troublesome are the Chopin & Bouree pair. Valedictorians. Even though they're just students, we can't afford a straightforward fight with these types. We need to neutralize them first," I explained.

"Interesting," Scarpia mused. "Next in line are the Allegro & Sonata pair. Top of the lower class. It would be best to sideline them too," I continued. "And once those four are out, we're left with the low-performing Akira & Elize pair," I concluded. "Once it's just the secretary and these three, we'll strike hard and fast!"

"Isn't that overkill?" Scarpia questioned. "Overkill is the most satisfying part of this job," I chuckled. Scarpia stroked his chin, pondering. "The challenge will be to isolate the Chopin & Bouree pair without mistakenly targeting Akira & Elize," he pointed out. "That's where we need to be smart. Let's handle it the dirty way we know best," I decided.
