Shot of Silence Chapter 42: After The Tests
"YELLOW, MINA-SAN!" The home economics teacher exclaimed, bursting into the classroom with exuberant energy. He was laden with four huge plastic bags, resembling a modern-day Santa Claus delivering treats to eager children. Ignoring the branches stuck in his hair and the scratches on his cheeks, he seemed to be brimming with excitement for some reason. His eyes literally sparkled as he addressed his students."Omg, Heath-sensei? What happened to you???" Nia shrieked, noticing the disheveled state of the brunet, who looked like he had just run a marathon.Heath shrugged off the concern with a casual wave of his hand. "Don't mind me! Just crashed into some trees, no biggie! Anyway, I’m here as your sweet angel. Here! Snacks!" With a flourish, he deposited the plastic bags onto the teacher's table and wiped the dirt off his face, though his troubled expression betrayed his inner turmoil."Wait, what brought this up, sensei?" Saito's curiosity echoed the unspoken question in everyone's mi
Shot of Silence Chapter 43: Dereliction
"Ano, sensei?" Hearing the call, Heath halted and turned his head to the boy with glasses. "Yeah?" For some reason he's rather wary of what this student would say. "Why did you beat yourself up this badly over a mere exam?" Surprisingly, it was Jiro, the boy who interacted the least with others. Honestly, nobody ever expected this coming at first. Jiro was known as the quiet one in class, rarely speaking unless absolutely necessary or when his studies demanded it. His reserved nature often kept him at the periphery of classroom interactions, and his sudden inquiry caught everyone off guard. It was a departure from his usual demeanor. Jiro's typically stoic facade melted ever so slightly, evident in the slight furrow of his brow as he voiced his question. His inquiry hung in the air, prompting a collective pause as the significance of his words sank in. For Heath, it was a moment of revelation. The fact that Jiro, of all people, was speaking up spoke volumes about the gravity of t
Shot of Silence Chapter 44: Drenched
"Here," That agent said, handing Heath a set of gym uniform. "You don't have a change of clothes, right? So wear mine for the time being."As Heath accepted the gym uniform from Lillian, he couldn't help but notice the concern etched on her face. It was a stark contrast to the usual composure she exuded. He wondered what thoughts were running through her mind and why she was staring at him so intently."Right, ahem, thank you, Miller-san," the brunet sheepishly smiled. He realized that with their different body types, the clothes were in a woman’s fitting, which meant they would be both too tight and loose on him. Additionally, Lillian was taller than him. Though, it’s not like he could complain, especially not with that frown still heavily present on the ravenette's face."Now then, won’t you get yourself dry and clean, Heath-nii?" Orion added before shaking his head bemusedly. "I never expected that you'd dash out the moment I mentioned why our target is so depressed.""Ahaha... ye
Shot of Silence Chapter 45: School Trip Announcement
To be frank, out of all the things that have happened in his civilian life, Heath was really not expecting the academy to be generous enough to allow this to happen."School trip, huh?" he mutters as he watches the papers given by the class reps to all the students.“I never thought they’d let us join them on this,” While it is a program held by the academy for every class, Class I-9 is a special case. Through the memories of his parallel self, he remembered how over the passing years, whenever this class was formed, they never really got the chance to have a school trip, so why–“They passed their passing grade,” Orion, who was watching the class from outside, leaned against the window frame next to where Heath was leaning. “Wait, really?” Heath blinked, not expecting that. He had seen the students' scores, and well, they're actually disastrous.“Yeah, well,” Orion shrugged, “Miller says their passing grade is different from the other classes. Though I’m sure she also arranged some
Shot of Silence Chapter 46: Mr. Bortnikov
Despite his promise of joining the students on their study trip, Heath was unsure if he could do that. Of course, it’s something that he wanted to, and in his promise he said that he’d go there once he’s finished with his rendezvous. Still, oh how he’d be overjoyed if things simply go as smoothly as he wished. In fact, He would be content enough if no blood is spilled by the time he finishes this meet-up.Afterall, rather than the meeting point being way too far than where their Class is having their trip, the person he'll be meeting IS the problem.Egon Bortnikov.Though not as popular as his father, Egon Bortnikov was still deeply entrenched in the world of organized crime. Over the last decade, he had carved out quite a reputation for himself, especially after rumors circulated that he had been the last person in contact with Luice del Umbrinox before the mysterious disappearance of the entire Umbrinox guardians.Securing any information from Egon was no easy feat. It was like tryi
Shot of Silence Chapter 47: Wheel and Deal
"Last seen 1 year ago. If you were looking for them to make yourself some sort of grand debut, then I suggest you change targets from now on; I'd say there'll be no merit in stripping off some rotten corpses," the retired doctor replied, as if expecting the question. Many have asked him the same query, after all, though his answers never seemed to be on the same track. This time, however, Heath detects no lies.It seems like his bribing is working brilliantly."Is that so? May I know the reason?" Despite trying not to sounds desperate, the bad feeling he has silently creeping as the man answered."Unfortunately, they seemed to have contracted some sort of incurable disease. Their Natura had it the worst, but as I was informed, the whole desert was flooded. It was devastating, honestly."'Wait… it was not the Natura’s curse but rather, a disease?’ Heath arched a brow, ‘And not only Luice-san, but the whole Umbrinox guardians? Is this a real illness?'Such news sounded like mere gossip
Shot of Silence Chapter 48: Bumbler’s Ambush
Tapping his feet, Heath was impatient and felt rather restless, feeling that this transportation was moving way too slowly for his liking. Normally, he would have praised the speed of this heavy machinery; yet this time, for some reason that he had not yet come to understand, he was cursing his decision to travel to his next destination like any normal person instead of flying away with his magic.It might not make any sense now, and some people might think of him as crazy, but for some reason, as soon as he entered the train, he felt rather anxious... which was not good. He remembered well that he would feel this way whenever one of his guardians was in danger and most likely in need of backup. A throb at the back of his head, with blue hues invading his mind, meant a confirmed disaster afoot.He cursed in silence. 'Something is happening, and it’s wrong.' This churning sensation was normally only aimed towards his dearests…Beep. Beep. Beep—!Eyes opened wide in shock, he rushes. S
Shot of Silence Chapter 49: Scumbags Hunting
Heath's eyes darted around, scanning for any signs of their missing companions. Yet he found nothing. It’s absurd enough that he found his students in this path, away from people’s eyes. Afterall, to his knowledge Perry-sensei, in his guidebook, has warned the students not to get close to this secluded area. Which means, they were either lured or dragged here. The area around them was eerily quiet, the only sound being the distant hum of the city. The sun was setting, casting long shadows that seemed to stretch out like grasping fingers, adding to the tension in the air.“I need to get you guys out of here.” Who knew what danger might come closer if they stayed any longer?However, Kai immediately rejected that idea. “Sensei, there’s something more important right now. You know that, right?” Kai winced as she tried to move, her face contorting in pain for a moment before she hardened her expression once more.“They took our possessions, so I can’t call for help. But if you can just ca
