Shot of Silence Chapter 20: False Alarm
An astonished expression could be seen in the gleam of the other male's eyes. However, it was not long later that he cleared his throat, “Hmm, that’s good for you.” He then followed up immediately with the formal introduction of the new recruit, cutting short the brief slip of emotion on his face. “Well, Sagara-san, let me introduce you to Mister Orion Conman.” He said, gesturing at the youngest in the room, “He’s been recruited to assist the students’ study from a letter of recommendation from someone,” The man explained vaguely while Orion, just like yesterday, reached his hand out to shake Heath’s hand. “I’ll be in your care, Sagara-san~!” a silly grin adorned his face as Heath took his hand and shook it. Putting aside Orion’s demeanor, Heath noticed that Lillian was giving him a stare from where she stood, not so far behind the young man. ‘I guess they wanted me to keep quiet about yesterday.’ He gave a nod, both to answer the greeting and to the secret agent. Then again, befor
Shot of Silence Chapter 21: Just A Bit Peculiar
"Sagara Heath, quite a weirdo, ain’t he?" Orion remarked as he found himself alone with Lillian in the teacher's lounge. 'Well, I mean, he's not bad, just rather peculiar than your everyday folks.' She ponders before deciding to say something less bold, for she couldn't exactly agreeing with that statement despite feeling the same. "Yeah, He's really not a bad guy, just a bit more on the eccentric side," the ravenette responded, choosing a milder statement. Despite feeling similarly, she refrained from fully agreeing. Eccentricity suits the brunet, evident in his bold fashion choices—different colored undershirts daily and now, hair accessories with feathers and a bracelet adorned with various charms. "I see," Orion hummed, "Well, anyway. I had prepared various approaches for the target," he reported nonchalantly, lighting up another cigar. "I never thought seduction would work. Seems like that punk is also a peculiar one, but hey, what works ain’t stupid." “Hmm hmm,” Lillian glanc
Shot of Silence Chapter 22: Egotistical Seducer
Perry took his leave as soon as the bell rang, stating that he heard someone using the coffee machine and wanted some for himself. The next class was Orion’s anyway, so he left the students in the right person's care. "Er... Orion-sensei?" Nia called out after their new teacher failed to touch, let alone finish off their target. It was embarrassing that he missed his target, but he blamed the fact that he hadn't been given any gun and was armed only with a flimsy special dagger, his least favorite weapon. Either way, the mentioned man was too aggravated to acknowledge the call as he put the dagger back into its sheath. On the other hand, Nia, who kept getting ignored, was also starting to get annoyed. Thankfully, before she could explode on their new teacher, their class rep, Jitsuo, stepped in. "Class is starting. Shouldn't we go back in?" "Class?" he replied coldly, "Oh, right." Lighting up another cigar, he didn't even spare a glance as he said, "Just make it study hall or somet
Shot of Silence Chapter 23: Peak of Chaos
True to his words, Orion could be seen starting to lose his cool, especially now that the students blatantly disrespect him with name-calling. It only fueled the blazing fire caused by the humiliation he gets after the series of failures in his attempt on their target. "Sensei?" Once again, Jitsuo called him. "What is it?" He aggravatedly replied, finally pausing the aggressive tapping on his mobile phone. "If you're not going to teach us anything, could you bring back Perry-sensei? Or at least Heath-sensei or Miller-sensei if he's busy?" It was clear that he's trying not to crack under the pressure, but the way he's disrespectfully staring at the older male made the assassin's gaze slightly harden. "What?" "You know, we've got entrance exams this year, so—" "Ha!" The adult sniggers, "You want that vicious creature to teach you?" His chattering only started, but scowls are already present on the students' faces. "You think your exams matter when there are lives at stake? Heh~ mus
Shot of Silence Chapter 24: One Step Backward
Heath had woken up rather sluggishly and groggily earlier that morning before everything that happened today even started at school. He must admit that lately he's been sleeping less and less, since he used the time trying to go through his phone to find out about the state of Verdena and, if he's lucky, to find his family. After all, 'Heath' exists in this world. Despite the circumstances, he's not the only similarity between this world and his previous one either. His parents have similar names, and even his mother's face looked exactly the same in her photos. So, really, there are possibilities that his dear family whom he cherished a lot might be here as well even though the city and place names aren't the same as the ones he remembered. No, actually, that very thought was the one that bothers him the most to the point that he's been frantic in his search, still to no avail. The fact that the location names aren't the same, but he could still recognize some people within the ci
Shot of Silence Chapter 25: Two Steps Forward
A waste of time.That’s what Orion had said. A phrase that Heath has been hearing a lot about himself, and it was now a label that also stuck towards his students.At that, Heath mumbled, “You’d think so, huh?” It was a soft whisper, but being a pro that he is, Orion easily heard him, which he then commented on, “Is it not?” He rolled his eyes, “That bastard doesn’t get paid for any of this shit, the government can easily use this against him, and there’s not even a guarantee that those punks would even use, let alone appreciate— I know from firsthand experience.”Heath was holding his chuckle at that comparison, but as of now, he simply shook his head at his colleague, “Well, I don’t think your experiences weighed the same, seeing that if someone were to do what he’s doing right now, I’d say they’d get to finish it in approximately 3 months with lesser quality.”‘And it’ll definitely take you longer’ —though he won’t mention that part to the other. But judging from his widened eyes
Shot of Silence Chapter 26: Fades out
"It’s okay,” seeing how frustrated the younger was, Heath pats his shoulder, consoling him, “Everyone makes mistakes. At least now you know, everyone here is giving their all to make things work," he points out. "Not only in our secret goal, but also for their future." "I see," Orion mumbled as his fists slowly loosen up. “The future, huh…?” The water’s still murky to his senses, but Heath was somewhat sure that the guilt coming from the blonde was not entirely due to the present situation. Orion felt rather aloof now. "Well, thanks for showing me this, He— Sagara-san." The brunet arched a brow, now he couldn’t help but tease the younger, "Aw shucks~ what did I do to deserve this demotion? I thought we're getting close already, lil’ bro?" To which, Orion scoffed, looking away from the other, "And who gave you the permission to call me your brother?" his voice is a bit lighter than before, therefore Heath continued. "Hey now, aren’t we family here? So, why not?" He chuckled at the
Shot of Silence Chapter 27: Extravagant Sleepwalking
It was a familiar feeling. While it has been quite a while since he was driven to his breaking point, sincerily by his dearly beloved mentor, his body remembers this delirious state of barely concious and the upcoming danger that would normally occur afterwards. Heath was a prince whose head wanted on a silver platter and Zephyr was not a babysitter. Truly, their first meeting was more of a mix of luck and circumstances at best. She was renowned for her unparalleled skills, standing out among her peers as the deadliest among The Umbranox. That's why people were glad to know that unlike the other members of the group, she was the only one who had never truly had a pupil before him. Not because she wouldn’t, but rather because those ignorants chose to spare their own lives rather than die at the hands of their own mentor. The only reason why Heath was able to survive her brutal ways was none other than his sharp survival instinct, honed from having his own life threatened on a daily
