Just as Kawashima Toya arrived at Private Toyogasaki Academy gripping the Teigu Murasame, he heard a gunshot.
Bang!
The sound of the shot echoed for a long time.
"They really are crazy!"
Toya's eyes gradually turned cold as he slowly drew Murasame from its sheath.
The clear, snow-bright blade shone under the sunlight, as if anticipating something.
Toya walked straight into the academy through the school gate. Passing by the guard room, he found the security guard inside already dead and cold.
"First, I'll clean up these kidnappers!"
Toya walked openly towards the main school building.
Along the way, he didn't encounter a single person.
Not even a kidnapper. It seemed they had corralled all the students and teachers together.
As he passed the school auditorium, Toya heard terrified voices of students and the frenzied laughter of the kidnappers coming from inside.
"Hahaha, their screams sound so good."
"Should we kill a few more?"
A chorus of agreement followed, filled with thick cruelty and madness. Clearly, these were the extremely vicious kidnappers.
Toya became much more cautious, completely silencing his footsteps as he approached step by step.
"Please don't rush!" Just then, a slender, pale hand suddenly reached out from a corner, attempting to grab Toya.
"Enemy?!" Toya's eyes turned cold, and he instantly countered the person trying to grab him.
"Ugh!" A girl's cry of pain rang out. Only then did Toya realize he had grabbed a beautiful girl with a bob cut and fair skin.
He was very familiar with this girl, not only because she was a character he liked from the anime he watched in his past life.
But also because he had encountered her not long ago when he was slaying the failed Evil God minion, Aki Tomoya.
It was Kato Megumi, the girl with the title of "Grand Assassin."
Toya released her and asked, "What's the situation inside?"
"It's okay, but the kidnappers are very brutal."
Rubbing her sore hand, Kato Megumi frowned and said, "A kidnapper who looks like the leader took Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-san to the broadcasting room."
"There are only three kidnappers who went to the broadcasting room. If possible, we should save them first."
"There are thirteen kidnappers in the auditorium; we won't be able to beat them."
"Alright, we'll go to the broadcasting room."
Toya didn't hesitate and decisively chose the broadcasting room.
He had the combat power to easily wipe out these kidnappers, but the choice between the two sides was unquestionable.
Between random students and Kasumigaoka Utaha/Sawamura Spencer Eriri, the choice was easy.
Kato Megumi led the way, walking as leisurely as if she were taking a stroll after dinner.
Following behind, Toya sighed inwardly. "As expected of the Grand Assassin; she makes no sound when she walks."
Even though Kato Megumi hadn't learned any assassin skills, her ability to conceal her footsteps was astonishingly talented.
Even he had only achieved his current level after ten days of training with Shishou Scáthach.
----
Broadcasting Room.
Wearing a black hood that couldn't hide his ferocity and madness, the kidnapper leader held an incredibly ugly, twisted insect and grinned hideously.
"One of the two school beauties of Private Toyogasaki Academy, Sawamura Spencer Eriri."
"Stop resisting. Be a good girl, eat this, and become one of us!"
The ugly insect let out a hideous hiss, seemingly sensing it was about to be eaten.
Not far away, the girl being threatened by the kidnapper had twin-tails as golden as a work of art, clear azure eyes, skin like white snow, and a petite, delicate figure.
She was a beautiful girl with characteristics distinct from Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Behind the kidnapper leader, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was also bound hand and foot, widened her wine-red eyes.
"That's the aura of an Evil God?!"
At this moment, Eriri shook her head frantically at the thing in the kidnapper's hand, making muffled whimpering sounds.
Something that felt like it should be censored just by looking at it couldn't possibly be anything good. How could anyone eat something like that?
"Refuse to become one of us?" The leader's fierce eyes instantly turned cruel as he sneered.
"Since you won't join us, then die."
With that, the leader raised his pistol, aimed it at Eriri's head from a distance, and slowly pulled the trigger.
Nearby, the other two kidnappers laughed maniacally, delighted at the prospect of witnessing death.
"There's still another candidate anyway!"
"You're kidding, right? Killing someone just like that?" Eriri's azure eyes were filled with disbelief. To think she would die so casually.
At that moment, Toya arrived at the door of the broadcasting room just in time to see the kidnapper about to pull the trigger.
"Don't even think about it!" Toya shouted, and without hesitation, he hurled the Teigu Murasame forward.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Murasame flew out like a streak of white light.
The kidnapper pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot toward Eriri's head.
Just before it could hit her, Murasame struck the bullet with incredible precision, slicing it in two.
