Killian Hoffer then thought about it again. He recalled the recent task he gave to his subordinates. Most of them were busy, while few of hisckeys don''t have any tasks right now.


    "ording to the intel, the kid got awakened recently. Any experienced Level 1 Mage can kill him at ease" His lips rose as he thought about it.


    This conjecture is feasible, so he made a decision right now. He walked back towards his own cabin inside the building.


    "Creak" the door opens.


    The room is literally dark, even though it''s still daytime. After stepping inside, he locked the room and cast the illumination spell.


    The room''smp lit up with red light and illuminated the entire room with bright red color.


    Basic spells used by every Mages. It doesn''t require strict qualifications. One needs to have good mana control and fluency in spell casting technique.


    Killian sat behind his seat and activated themunication rune. Instead of making calls with thetestmunication technology, he used runic one. This magic runicmunication is sophisticated.


    It may be old but it is the safest way ofmunication. There is no way of hacking in this old runicmunication.


    The rune lit up with green light, a silhouette image of an old man hovered above the runic circle.


    "Master, What is your order?" The old man gave a slight bow and asked with expectation. It''s been long since he had done some important missions. Due to old age, the missions he has been gettingtely were of 1 Star Mission.


    Right now receiving a call from Master Kilian. He couldn''t help but think of 5 Star Missions.


    Seeing his Lackey, Kilian said, " I have a mission for you. Complete it as soon as possible. " Kilian, don''t beat around the bush he said it directly. Then he exined the details of the mission.


    After exining it, he added further, "Marcus, I know this task might not be rated as 5 Star. But it''s actually important to me. So you better do it neatly. If you want, you can ask others for assistance."


    The old man was Marcus Egger, Level 1 Knife Mage. Due to his limited talent, he couldn''t break through. Finally, He begin to get involved with rogue elements and spent his life doing shady activities.


    Over the course of his life he jumped from one shady club to another and finally ended up in Poison Dagger. Where he served under the team of Killian Hoffer.


    Right now, After hearing the Master''s words. He immediately replied, "Master, I''ll finish the task as soon as possible."After learning about the task, the thought of failure didn''t strike his mind. It''s just a task to kill a school kid. He can do it on whim.


    Killian Hoffer nodded and ended themunication. He is not worried about the failure of the mission. Unlike school kids, the rogue mages were savages and cunning. Even he is not sure how many lives Marcus had taken by being at Level 1 limit. So he is quite rxed about the mission.


    Marcus Egger was delighted on the other hand. His old body trembled with excitement. "Master has entrusted me with a mission. Even Though it''s a small task, it''s enough for me" He muttered with a wide grin on his face.


    He wants to move right away. But he stopped himself suddenly. He remembers Master''s advice, obviously he won''t need anyone''s support.


    Old Man Marcus muttered, "Rewards need to be shared, If it''s a team mission. He is no fool to do something like that. Especially the mission is so simple "


    Then he proceeds to make a n, he had already heard details about that kid from his Master. He decided to kill the kid named Vincent, on his way back home from school.


    Old Man Marcus didn''t n on any arrangements. His knife Magic tool is a suitable weapon made for killing. He just needs to get closer to the kid and kill him. A ruthless glint shes in his mind when he imagines the situation in his mind.


    Today is a lucky day for him, Hereafter he ns to hug Master Kilian''s thigh very high. Only in this way can he see any hope for breakthroughs in the future. For that he will make sure to shred that kid in many pieces with his knife.


    Thinking that,a magic knife materialized in his hand. "It''s been long since it''s stained with young blood." While gently looking at the knife he muttered to himself.


    ...


    (From MC perspective)


    Little Star Gate High School,


    The sses are going to be over in an hour.


    ss A2,


    I thought about killing rest of them today. Yet the safest way to do it by killing all of them at the same time.


    If I kill the bottom rankers of ss A1 one by one. I might leave behind some traces which are very dangerous.<novelnext></novelnext>


    My mind tells me not to kill them. My efforts are not worth killing some shrimp. But my heart is different, it''s urging me to kill those who are against me.


    It doesn''t matter where it''s a shrimp or peerless expert. My heart wants to tear down every being who will stand against me.


    Feeling the urge, I controlled myself. Since it''s not safe to do it now. There will be some chance in future to kill them.


    Talking about the future, my eyes gleamed with expectation. What could be a better chance than the Monster Hunting Trip? My lips curved a little.


    I can''t pin my hopes on Ms. Rivers. As a middle grade genius, I need to do something. Sorry we need to do something. I take a quick nce at fatty Lucas. I almost forgot about him.


    Everyone from ss A1 gained experience from Monster Hunting Trip. But me and fatty have talent no less than them yet we are being discriminated.


    Suddenly, a good idea came to my mind. It''s very risky but it''s reasonable. I turned towards fatty and asked, "Lucas, Do you want to go for a Monster Hunting Trip?" I said with a wide smile on my face.


    Lucas, who was talking with another ssmate, was stunned hearing his words. He immediately looked at Vincent with surprise. By looking at his smiling face he knows Vincent must have thought of something.


    Fatty Lucas looked at him with his shining eyes and asked, "Vincent, Are you going to n something?" He couldn''t wait to hear his n.


    "Ha..Ha..Ha.." Iughed looking at his expression. Like me he too desires a Monster Hunting Trip. With Fatty''s assistance, I''m sure my n would seed.


    Then I looked around me, seeing everyone I frowned. I can''t tell him right now as the sses are going on, it''s not feasible to reveal my n.


    Who knows, some might reveal his n to ss A1 students? If my n gets exposed then it will do more harm than good. Shaking my head, I replied, "Well, I''ll talk about it after the ss."


    Fatty Lucas grinned, He is not dumb. He understands Vincent''s hesitancy around here. Here some students rted to ss A1 students. It won''t be if they heard Vincent''s words. He immediately thumbs up as a reply.


    Time progresses,


    An hourter, the sses were over.


    I patted fatty''s shoulder and told him to follow me. After leaving the ss, I hurried towards the lift with him. I n to ask for Ms. Rivers'' opinion. I want to know what''s on her mind.


    If her n is better than mine, then I won''t reveal my n.


    Seeing that Vincent is hurried towards the lift, Lucas doesn''t raise any question and obediently follows behind.


    Only students who were exiting the ss were bewildered seeing the duo. They are wondering what these two were upto. But none of them went towards them to inquire.


    After walking out from A Block division, we walked towards the Staff''s block. I hope to see Ms. Rivers before she walks out from school.


    Several staff were stepping down from the stairs. We immediately rushed to the second floor. A couple of minutester, We stood in front of her cabin.


    There is a namete on the door, which is clearly written as Ms.Adrianna Rivers, A2 ss Teacher.


    Seeing the door system in active, I know she is inside her cabin. Then I pressed the button on the door system to intimate our arrival.


    Next second, "Creak" the door slid open.


    I nced at Fatty and gestured to him to follow me inside.


    After stepping inside, I saw Ms. Rivers were waiting for us. I smiled and greeted her, "Hello, ss Teacher."


    Fatty Lucas too greeted her in panic.


    Ms. Rivers is surprised to see these two at this time.


    She gestures to them to take a seat and asks, "What is it? Don''t tell me it''s ss A1 again?" Thinking about ss A1, she raised her eyebrows and asked again, " Did any of them cause trouble now?"


    Hearing her question, I was not surprised. She saved me from Liamst time. I shake my head and replied, "Ahem, ss Teacher. It''s not about them. I have something else to discuss with you."
