Chapter 2 - Nestle’s Death

Faster, stronger, better!

Faster, stronger, better!

Within a hour fifty human dummies fell to the ground bleeding. They had been blessed by the blade of the unwinged angel.

Davius looked at them. 

A sense of humanity buried deep within his soul questioned, "Did you improve? You could've practiced on dummies instead of taking so many lives, did it make you happy?"

The answer was simple— Instinct, his instincts told him to slay, slay until greatness is achieved. 

An assassin's pleasure is a human's sin.

Davius sighed and muttered, "I could've killed over sixty."

Davius looked behind.

"Son, you sure are progressing! How about having a spar with your father?"

In this world sparing never meant a battle of improvement, it meant a death match.

Davius stared at the silver haired man with rather near clothing for an assassin.

"No, I am not worthy enough Great master."

Davius never preferred family talks. He knew what kind of talks are they going to have but today he was invited to the dinner table.

I'll try to ignore them..

Davius' family wasn't simple to understand. His mother was a really kind woman, his younger sister was a true assasin and his elder brother was an elite assassin who was already helping his father in his work.

That's the Sonata family for you.

Some are too kind, some are pure evil.

And Davius is the pure evil person.

At the dinner table, the butler was standing like a statue at the corner of the wide room.

The hand maidens were serving food and constantly asking for re-fills.

Suddenly, Davius began to feel really sleepy but he had to hold it for a while.

Maybe, someone was trying to wake Nestle up.

Davius yawned and began to eat his food.

"Manners!"

Oh! Right mom needs elegance even while killing someone..

"Let it be, milady! He's just a kid."

These two won't stop talking like proper love birds, at least they still love each other..

"Waaakkkkeeee upppppp! Youuu Idiiottt! Theeyyyy attttaaackeed ussss!?"

Nestle opened his eyes and saw Gabriel who was wearing a night gown. "Did you sleep with me?"

"No, you idiot! Wake up to reality! We're under an attack Mr Student Council vice president."

"What?"

Nestle got up and wore his clothes. Out of his window he was able to see a faint figure of a huge wolf, whose mouth was wide open ready to eat the academy at any time.

"Go into the faculty dorm." Nestle commanded. "There's nothing else we can do, at least for now."

Gabriel stared at Nestle and said, "But, there's a problem,"

"What is it?"

"They only want to kill Mrs Stan, not the students, so we can just let it be and run away."

"This isn't the time for jokes, am I right?"

"Absolutely, but wait, there's no way we could beat them, today the university's doomed if Mrs Stan fails."

With an expression filled with heroism Nestle said, "No need to worry, Gabriel."

"Wait! I am the leader here!"

They were standing in the great battle grounds of the Ivory City University. Ms Stan, a tall young woman who was said to be no less than a gemstone.

Despite her looks, she was unmarried and was working as the principal of the prestigious university.

She looked pure and innocent.

Nestle remembered what happened on their first day at the university. Gabriel fell in love with the principal.

It was quite funny that he fell in love with a woman who was way older than he was.

And at that time Nestle realised that she was just twenty at that time.

Ms Stan was a summoner. To be exact, the strongest summoner.

Nestle and Gabriel were standing right behind her. 

All of a sudden, a man wearing a red mask which hid his face appeared in front of them.

The man was a black cloak to hide his body.

The man looked at the two boys then at their teacher. Before the man could've even said a single word Ms Stan said in a confident tone:

"Your men are weak."

The man looked behind where the heads of his comrades had fallen. An elegant Griffin which was summoned by her had slashed all the people in an instant.

"Summoning is quite a skill." The man said.

Suddenly the man did something that no one else could've expected, except Nestle.

Nestle was already experienced in playing dirty, as this was the only thing he used to practice as Davius.

The sparring law prohibits attacking summoners who hadn't summoned their familiar. 

But this wasn't a sparring ring, this was a battlefield in which all that matters was saving your skin. Do not let your enemy's blade touch you while you slaughter their flesh out like a vile beast.

The man had been holding a knife behind since he began talking.

As expected at the very next second the man launched an attack on Ms Stan but Nestle pushed her. Now.. What are you going to do? Cry about it!

Before Nestle could've even noticed the blade struck his stomach.

A fountain of crimson liquid fell on the ground. Nestle fell on the ground and closed his eyes.

Davius opened his eyes. He was unable to move because he was tied up in tight ropes.

No part of his body was able to move.

Davius looked around only using his eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened and their butler entered the room.

"I told the household about your condition, now you'll be okay."

"But, that isn't the case, I am fine."
