Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

“Another day to find new confrère,” Oliver spoke with excitement.

“Yes, let’s do our best today.” Tsukasa nodded his head as he responded to Oliver’s excitement.

...

When lunchtime came Michael headed to the same spot in the library to see if anyone would come to join their little club, while Oliver and Tsukasa went around the campus trying to convince people to join their club.

Loki who had a lot of free time as of late due to the decrease in criminal activity was watching Michael trying his best to establish the occult club. Loki found Michael who was an introvert trying his hardest to find new members to be very amusing.

Lunchtime was about to end and no one came, not even Oliver and Tsukasa came back to report. As Michael was about to head back to class was when the school’s intercom sounded.

“Student Michael Rosales please report to the Student Council Room. Once again student Michael Rosales please report to the Student Council Room.”

Michael was a little confused as to why the student council was looking for him, since in this school most of the power was not among the faculty but with the Student Council, which were usually excellent students from very powerful families. He could not figure out what those people would want with him, still, now that he has been summoned he had no choice but to go.

.....

...

It was called the Student Council Room, but the truth was it was more like the Student Council building. It was a separate building from the school and was located behind the martial arts course building.

The Student Council Building was heavily protected even more than the school itself, as there were several dozen of rank seven and eight martial artists roaming around as guards, and there was even two Grand Masters present as security.

The Studen Council building was a gothic-style building with long pointed arches, flying exterior buttresses, stained-glass windows that depict the history of the school, ribbed vaults, and spires. Being in front of such a building made Michael feel like he was transported back in time.

Not only was the Student Council Building a sight to behold but even the surrounding area was something else. Before being able to enter the Studen Council building Michael passed by a wondrous garden.

The garden was like an oasis filled with a variety of flowers, trees, and bushes. The bushes were even cut in a way to make them look like knights standing in line as you walk through the cobblestone road toward the Student Council building.

As Michael was walking down the path while being escorted by two guards, the sun shone warmly on the beautiful garden which just made the feeling that he was transported into another world increase.

Near the entrance of the building was a fountain in the center of the courtyard. This gray stone fountain has a wide round base and a ten-foot-tall peak at the apex of the fountain. The water of the fountain runs sparklingly clear as it cascades downward.

At the north, south, east, and west of the circular fountain were beautiful stone statues of water nymphs holding jugs that sprayed water toward the fountain.

Michael was mesmerized by the sight but he could not stop to appreciate it as the guards continued guiding him into the Student Council building. Upon entering the building Michael was even more in awe.

The inside of the Student Council Building was filled with many stone statues that were placed in a way that they seem to be telling a story an epic tale of battle and death. The way the sun shone through the stained glass windows onto the statues just added solemnity to the atmosphere of the place.

The guards guided Michael into a hallway filled with paintings that seem to be created by various famous painters, even Michael who was a layman could see the quality of each painting at a glance. He did not know how much each painting would cost, all Michael understood was that each painting should be something that the entire fortune of his family could not afford to even look at.

The hallway was rather long and it took Michael and the guards a few minutes before arriving at the end of the hallway were there was a giant doorway that was being blocked with what looks to be royal doors.

The royal doors had a sculpture of a knight and an ancient martial artist about to do battle. When Michael saw this picture and he was a little confused were knights back in the middle ages who were supposedly ordinary humans able to fight against martial artists? Michael had no time to dwell on his own thoughts when one of the guards knocked on the royal door.

The simple knocking on the royal door echoed throughout the hallway. After he was done knocking the royal door slowly opened with a creaking sound. What was behind the door was something similar to a throne room and like everything else in this place, it was beautiful.

Arch pillars on both sides, a large chandelier above the room, and four stained glass windows that were blocked by curtains. A red carpet on the floor that leads toward the desks of four people that represent the highest authority in the school aside from the Principal.

It was quite the sight to behold except that in this room there were many things out of place. First, there were the computers each member of the student council was using, and there was also the centralized air conditioning in the room, as well as the giant television on the side. The room was similar to a throne room in terms of structure, but overall it was more like some sort of headquarters you would see in a movie.

Michael who felt like he was transported into another world returned to reality, as he noticed Oliver and Tsukasa sitting in front of the student council members.

Michael then looked at each student council member the four most powerful students in the school. There was the treasurer Edward Williams the only male member of the Student Council as well as the only one in the General Studies. A second-year student of the General Studies course.

Edward Williams was a part of the William family which was a family that owns a rather famous bank in the country. From the perspective of normal citizens, Edward’s family was the tenth richest family in the country.

Not only was he rich, but he was also one of the top students in the school, was also athletically gifted, and was very handsome. With black hair and eyes, and a cold look on his face, he was basically the template of those cold boss characters in romance novels.

The secretary of the Student Council was Cho Ha-Eun, a second-year student and a rank three martial artist from the Cho Clan, a powerful martial arts clan that was famous for using hidden weapons.

Ha-Eun had long glossy black hair and deep dark eyes, ruby-red lips, she was quite short for her age but had curves in all the right places.

After the secretary, there was, of course, the vice-president of the Student Council Erika Capell the only child of the Capell clan which was an ancient martial arts clan. The Capell clan was a famous clan among martial artists but their style and way of fighting were a complete mystery. It was said that if you met a member of the Capell in battle you’re next journey would be to the realm of the dead.

Erika Capell was considered to be a once in hundred years genius of the clan and was a rank-five martial artist. She excelled in everything she did and was only second to Kurumi Ichika the Student Council President. Like all the other members of the student council, Erika was a beauty that surpasses even professional models.

Shoulder-length red hair, beautiful dark blue eyes, a voluptuous bosom, and a round nice bottom. She even had long legs and was taller than most boys her age.

Then finally the most powerful member of the Student Cound, the Student Council President, the ruler of the school. The only other person in the school that was at the same level as her was the Principal.

Kurumi Ichika was a second-year student the same as the other members of the student council, and like Erika, she was also a rank-five martial artist. Ichika was the eldest daughter of the current patriarch of the ancient martial artist clan the Kurumi Clan which was the master of the Capell clan.

Erika was not only considered to be Ichika’s vice president, classmate, and best friend, but she was also Ichika’s personal bodyguard/assistant assigned to her since they were a few years old. All members of the main family of the Kurumi Clan have a Capell as their closest assistant.

Like the other members, Ichika was also a beauty but one that was above all the others. Long raven black hair tied in a twin tail, silky smooth skin, and piercing ruby red eyes. She did not have a bountiful chest like Erika but she had a slim body that would shame even famous actresses and models. Not only that but even her prowess in battle was said to be second to none among the students at the famous Sekiko Academy. This was Kurumi Ichika the ruler of Sekiko Academy, the one who stands above all students.
