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
Shot of Silence Chapter 50: Punch-a-thug
They were enjoying their trip. The day has started so well and everything has been going according to their plan. Including asking their gym teacher to hide somewhere as their snipers. Bringing up their plan to the government agent is not an easy feat. Zane had to convince her that there’s rarely any violent criminals in their country by showing her legitimate statistics, even going as far as saying that the most injuries everyone present in this class ever gets had been coming from the main building bullies rather than strangers. And even then she only agreed to it because the time of her departure would be maximal 1 hour before Perry was supposed to join their group.By the time of the execution day, the preparation was all set, and everything up until the agreed upon time is great. Lillian split up with the group, even going as far to call their target pretending that the higher up called her for an emergency before she went separate ways halfway through their day. Everything was
Shot of Silence Chapter 51: All tied
Finding where his students had been taken wasn't all that hard. Their possessions had been tossed to the side of the road, all destroyed, but it wasn’t impossible to trace them thanks to his Enhanced Insight.‘Wow, they sure chose the most suspicious place to operate,’ he thought, eyeing the abandoned factory, far from the main traffic or any other buildings miles away. It was rather ironic that the kidnappers chose the most iconic place for villains to conduct their operations. It seemed like no matter where, criminals, especially those of low ranks, fancied deserted buildings as their base.‘I really should buy myself a proper weapon,’ he thought, humming softly as he reached into his pocket to take out the BB gun that Miller had given him. The item would be rendered useless against humans since it was specifically designed to harm Perry specifically.‘But if I coated the bullets with magic?’ He had been thinking about it before. The concept was nothing new in his previous life. Ove
Shot of Silence Chapter 52: First contact
"You bastard!!!"No guns yet; it seems like they chose close combat instead. 'Well, lucky me, that would make things easier.'A fist was launched, but Heath easily ducked it and immediately followed with a roundhouse kick. The blow connected, sending the guy sprawling."T-That can't be...!"That last guy had been on the heavier side indeed. He was probably one of their best fighters, which is why this last man standing was left quivering, in disbelief that his comrades were defeated so easily.Well, it turns out, despite his scare, he seems to know how to assess the situation. And now Heath was facing the fearful weapon he had dreaded.The guy aimed and desperately shot in Heath's direction as if it were his lifeline. Which, quite frankly, was not far-fetched.BANG! BANG! BANG!'It has a line projectile, so once he fires, if he misses, he misses.'Unlike some magic that can chase after its target, bullets don't work that way, which is relieving because that means Heath could just move
Shot of Silence Chapter 53: Rescued
“Phew, what a troublesome bunch.”After making sure that everyone was unconscious, Heath combed his hair before dusting off his outfit. At first, he thought it would be hard to deal with them, but in fact, he had been overestimating his enemies by a couple of notches. He had expected them to at least tear his outfit, land a strong hit once, or worse, shoot him. But none of that ever happened, and luckily, his clothes weren’t tainted with blood. Feeling a bit proud that he could control his power merely by judging from his appearance, he then counted his victims.‘24 down.’The last three people were not pursuing him.Throb.Scowling as his feet began to move again, it seemed like there was no time for him to rest. His enhanced insight was acting up again, and since he wasn’t in any immediate threat, his second hunch was about his missing students.Throb.‘Don’t just agree with me, gosh,’ he thought, gritting his teeth. He scanned the area once more before mumbling curses under his br
