Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Assassins

The atmosphere seemed to freeze as Naoya's words registered in the assassin's ears. Opening his eyes, the man looked at Naoya with confusion, pretending that Naoya's words were confusing.

"I apologize, young lad. I do not understand your meaning." Naoya felt his patience getting thinner as the man continued to act. His fist clenched in annoyance.

"Fine, I will deal with you after finishing my food." Naoya clenched his tongue with an annoyed look as he looked at the assassin. His eyes held arrogance and confidence as if nothing could harm him.

'This brat...' The assassin felt his anger spike, even with his master's control over his emotions. The look in Naoya's eyes is really bugging him in the wrong way.

Someone as twisted as him in the world of sorcery has to have a few screws loose. Being looked down on by a brat is not something a famous assassin like him takes lightly.

But for now, he continued to bide his time and wait for the right opportunity to strike.

"Kid, your order is ready." Naoay looked at the counter, where a bunch of items were. His eyes flashed with satisfaction before taking his food to the table.

The assassin watched as Naoya started eating food he had never eaten. Naoya's eyes shone with excitement as he continued eating without a care.

[10 minutes later...]

The assassin watched as Naoya finished the last part of his burger. Naoya let out a sigh and closed his eyes in satisfaction. The assassin immediately noticed his opportunity.

Boom!

A sharp dagger with poison stabbed Naoya in the face, and the assassin grinned with mockery and satisfaction. Having to listen to the kid eating for 10 minutes should be torture in itself.

Boom!

Screams were heard in the restaurant as Naoya caught the fist of the assassin, reinforced with cursed energy. The table broke, and the ground turned into a crater under the two.

"Not bad for a meagre assassin. I will play with you and the others for a little entertainment." Naoya smirked as he jumped over the man. His leg snapped back like a whip, kicking the assassin into the counter.

Boom!

The other assassins took action, and guns with daggers flew towards Naoya. Bullets hit his body, enhanced with cursed energy, and Naoya grinned.

The bullets hit his body, and the crunched bullets fell to the ground as his cursed energy defended his body. The assassins did not let this discourage them.

Boom!

Naoya vanished in a blur as he activated his projection sorcery. His body zig-zagged between the assassins, punching them. Black lightning exploded with every punch from him.

"URGH!" The assassins fell to the ground with a massive hole in their stomach. Naoya flicked his bloody hand, painting the ground red, and the smell of iron wafted through the building.

 Noasya clicked his tongue before swatting the air from his nose with disgust. Turning to walk out of the restaurant, Naoya vanished into the crowd. His presence was deleted.

"Interesting... Such a fascinating generation of the Zenin Clan." A woman with shoulder-length black hair and a scar on her forehead said. Her body was sexy as fuck, and her clothes hugged her body tightly.

With a mysterious smile, the woman turned around and walked towards a man with short pink hair and glasses. He had a kind smile and looked to be a kind soul.

"Honey, where were you?" The pink-haired man asked with worry as he wrapped his arm around the waist of the black-haired woman. He asked with a concerned voice.

"Nothing, baby. I heard some commotion, and my curiosity was peaked." The woman said with a smirk and her tongue out in a tease. Her arms wrapped around the shoulders of the man.

"Well, I am glad you are okay." The man leaned down and kissed the woman on the lips. They stayed like that for a few seconds before separating with a smile.

[Zenin Clan...]

The atmosphere above the Zenin clan was dark and heavy as the members searched the clan and the city. The news of Noaya vanishing for a couple of hours spread.

"Where is that trouble-making brat!" Naobito cursed under his breath as he drank a can of beer before crushing it into a ball and throwing it against the wall with a loud bang, leaving it stuck.

"Brother, we did not manage to find Naoya due to his cursed energy not being detectable," Ogi said as he entered the room. He did not seem to worry about Naoya being lost or killed.

In fact, Ogi hopes that Naoya will be killed by some random assassin. He might have the chance to have a son and have him become the leader.

"Keep searching for him. He must be somewhere out in the city." Naobito said with no sadness for Naoya's health. The thing that Naobito is most worried about is losing a once-in-a-thousand-year genius.

"Naoya is just a kid. There is no way he could still be okay." Ogi said with narrowed eyes as he looked at his drunk brother. He felt excitement at the thought of Naoya vanishing.

"Some fools can't seem to know their place." The room suddenly chilled at Naoya's voice from behind Ogi. Naobito and Ogi froze from shock.

Boom!

Ogi's body turned into a blur as he was punched in the back with black lightning exploding from the point of impact. The entire house collapsed as Ogi smashed through the building.

Boom!

The collapsed building exploded in a shower of flames and shockwaves as Ogi emerged with his katana shrouded in flames. The air around the fire distorted as Ogi panted.

"You brat! You think you can do whatever you want?" Ogi got into a low stance, and with anger, he slashed at Naoya. Naobito was about to intervene when he froze.

"Looks like you need a lesson on how to behave around me."A cruel light flashed in Naoya's eyes as he took out the frozen frame from his chest. The ISOH unfroze, and Noya felt the handle in his palm.

Boom!

Naoya blitzed Ogi with projection sorcery, and an inverted spear of heaven sliced through his blazing courage and cursed energy. A thin line of blood appeared around Ogi's left hand.

Thud*

The hand fell onto the floor, and Ogi flinched as he grabbed his stump before burning it with a flame. Naoya turned around and kicked Ogi in the back, sending him sprawling on the ground.

Ogi looked up, and his heart felt a chill as Naoya looked down on him with a cold face. His hand held an inverted spear. Naoya smirked as he felt the delight of the fear in Ogi's eyes.

"This is how you behave around me, like an insect."
