My Glasses Will Be Able to Conquer the Whole World, I Suppose

serious problem. 

Its existence is being hidden from the society’s eye, and the ones who know about it are just a select few even among the aristocrats.

On a related note, this Leavant household is a safe house for assassins like me, the head of the house.

As I am also someone from the parliament, reporting this to the kingdom won’t bear any fruit.

Well, on paper, we are a private organization that has no involvement with the state. 

In the case that an international issue has occurred and our existence became known by other countries, the kingdom won’t save our neck.
We are essentially disposable pawns.」 

Disposable pawn… Un.
Many aspects of it incurred questions in me, but let’s just shut these thoughts off.

「The lack of young people in the world of assassination is a serious matter, you see… From what I heard, despite the assassins are becoming older with age, the amount of their successors is alarmingly small.」 

Hearing the words of the girl, Wise nods his head affirming it.

Or, rather, I also have no clue what’s her standing on this.

Is she in the know since she volunteered herself, or is she in need to listen to this explanation as well? …In the first place, what does he mean young people’s lack of interest in the world of assassination? So is it like a normal job appliance? It’s haunting my mind, but I won’t let it haunt it further.
I feel like I’d lose if I let it hinge on my head.

「Second, none of you two will be an assassin known by the general public.
It is because the training that goes toward that direction is no longer supported.」 

…Nn?

「Understand? Generally, when the word assassin is mentioned, you will think it’s about someone who eliminates his target.
However, in practice, there are many walls to overcome until an assassin can come close to kill his target. 

Time, place, occasion, means, instruments’ presence or absence, in addition to information gathering and preparation for a weapon.
If you enumerate it, there would be countless options to take, and you would need the necessary skill to execute it.

All you need to do is kill.
No, a professional doesn’t work that way.
An assassin is not a crook, after all.」

　…………

「Assassination is subtle and delicate work.
A single misstep may result in failure. 

You do it with prudence as if you were threading atop a single sheet of wet paper, leaving no trace behind.

Just how far can you master your weapon, that is your body? Just how far can you utilize your intelligence and imagination?

Even for a single job, there lay hundreds and thousands of options for you to take, and you have to choose the correct one and act accordingly.
That is an extremely hard task to fulfil, and is worthwhile.」

　…………

Shoot.
…I’ve got absorbed to the talk.

Or, rather, it’s very similar to a hunter’s job.

There is the necessary to prepare the instruments according to the targeted game, the more thorough your preparation is the more likely you will succeed, the way to hunt the game without giving it defects, and, by doing so, you can recover your game just as fast. 

Furthermore, if you don’t properly clean up your hunting place after the deed, you might encounter magical beasts or carnivorous animals outside your schedule.
Recovery of the spoil and the withdrawal after it are also skills that play a big role.

……But, in the end, the context of Wise’s talk is about killing a person.

If this was a talk between hunters and I was offered to go to Hunter’s school, maybe it would stir my mind.

「Eil-kun, it sure interests you, doesn’t it? I called out to you because I know it’s your character.
It should be similar to what you are doing and what you’re hoping to reach.」 

Un, similar.
That is why I was so invested in the talk.

Crap.
…Seems like I fell for its attractiveness.

But, no.
No can do.

This is a big NO with no room to debate.

「What I learnt from Shishou was not the skill of murder.
What I learnt was the skill of hunting.
I cannot use my Shishou’s technique in a way that deviates humanity.」 

Shishou raised me as a hunter.

He didn’t teach me his techniques for me to commit murder as an assassin.

Maybe I am not a good disciple, but I won’t become a disciple who throws mud to my shishou’s face.

「—That is why we get back to the second point.」 

Eh?

「I mentioned it before, that none of you two will be the type of assassin known by the general public. 

Assassins whose skills have been etched deep into their very core like us are trained from a very tender age.

It is because children have the necessary potential.

If they have what it takes to grow, they will grow.
If they don’t, they only need to be expelled from the assassin training classroom.

I believe that both of you still have room to grow.
However, you will surely fall behind the progress of those children who have the initial talent.

Assassination is a subtle and delicate work, and even a single failure is not allowed during the job.

You two are well past the age to be trained as an assassin.」

…Well, I understand what he’s trying to say.

In short, being an assassin means being raised within a special education for gifted children since they’re young.

「Then, the place you’re recommending me… this Assassination Training School, what about it?」 

Isn’t the talk all about how I’m no longer in the age fit to be trained as an assassin.
That talk just now.
Then what’s the purpose of calling me here?

「There are two kinds of assassin we cultivate, the first one being the genuine assassin trained from a young age.

What the two of you will be learning to be, is the kind of assassin whose scope of work is wider.」

The kind of assassin whose scope of work is wider…?

　…………

Un.

I don’t understand a thing on what he’s trying to say.
