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

owever, will the hunting skills Shishou passed to me end in my generation then?

Naturally, that question lingers in mind.

Even Shishou inherited his skills from his Shishou.

And even Shishou’s Shishou inherited their skills from someone else.

Will I let the skills that ride and overcome generations after generations face their end in my generation?

I am sure that the same line of thought is running among the assassins.

Facing the same problem, having the same demand, they look for and reach out to people to inherit what they have.
And they keep looking.

　…………

With just understanding their position, it makes me hard to flat-out reject it… 

In addition, from what I collected, it is undeniably a good deal.

「Can I ask a few things?」 

Wise opens his arms, prompting me.
Then, I won’t hold back.

「Can I see it as an opportunity to learn an assassin’s a skill that cannot be found with normal ways to make myself stronger?」 

「Precisely so.
I did say that you won’t lose anything from this talk.

As it seems that you refuse to kill humans, we have no intention to make you so.
A half-baked assassin won’t be given any job, you see.」

Even more, nowadays we don’t even have enough jobs to give to everyone here, hahaha, thus he laughs with self-damage.
…That was a laugh with a sad undertone.
This old fellow’s self-damage is quite heartbreaking.

「Then, for example, I graduated from Assassination Training School, am I allowed to return to my hometown?」 

「That is up to you.」 

Eh, I can? I thought I would automatically be attached to some Assassin organization once I did graduate.

「I also have mentioned it before.
This country, at this time and age, is no longer in need of assassins.
It’s up to you if you want to be affiliated with us, but even if you do, there won’t be any jobs coming. 

There are jobs other than assassinating, but these jobs are by no means many in number.」 

Hmm…

「By the way, what are these jobs you speak of?」 

「Mainly becoming a bodyguard or an escort for big fishes.
There are also espionage and background checking for certain individuals.
Also, we also do some magical beast extermination in case of utmost urgency.
Mostly, these three.」 

It won’t be long until we start to open a business of looking for missing pet, haha.
It was a laugh with quite painful self-damage.
…Seems like, the decline is so unstoppable that they can only laugh it off now.

「Eil-kun.
It’s just one year.」 

「One year?」 

「Assassination Training School only takes one year.
Please, give just one year of your life to it. 

I want you to inherit our skills.
If it’s you, I’m sure you can learn many skills.
And those skills will surely be connected to your own growth.
You definitely are going to be stronger within this one year.」 

Ah, so it’s like that.
I heard that schools usually last for many years long, but this one just takes one year span, huh.

「In addition, your 『Megane』.」 

　…？

「I have heard the report from the state.
Your 『Gift』 can develop.
Maybe you can find another way to utilize it as you learn our skills.」 

Another way to utilize, huh.

But, it already has other functions than 「being a Megane」, so…  I feel like, now of all times? But I do feel the charm, that I may be able to increase the number of things I can do with it.

「—Is that all your questions? You may go home now.」 

Ah, really?

「Listen, Eil-kun.
If you really are interested—」 

I listened to Wise until the end of his sentence, then I was given a letter namely Introductory Letter.

If I don’t want to receive it, just burn the letter then forget everything.
If I do want to receive it, then I should bring it to a particular place.
Or so I was told.

Being led by the gramps who guided me before, I managed to escape from the territory of Leavant household safely.
Aah, … is that freedom I feel? I didn’t feel much alive in there, after all.

「—We are waiting for your next arrival.」 

The moment the gate closed, I was told such words.

　…………

Maybe, that person has already seen through what I have in mind.

After all the shocking stories I heard in there, my gait, when I leave the Leavant household, is not particularly light nor it is heavy, just normal and ordinary.

 

The day after.

I go to the Hunter’s Guild so early in the morning.

「Oh my, welcome.
You’re early.」 

The unmotivated receptionist is there.
…Most likely, this person is also included.
That explains why she’s so strong.

I walk over the Hunter’s Guild that has nobody else within, heading straight towards the receptionist, then turn in the introductory letter to her.

「It’s an introductory letter from the Leavant household.」 

「Ara.
Your decision is quite early too.」 

The receptionist laughs halfheartedly then takes the letter from me.

「—Well then, let me redo my introduction」  

 

She inhales.

Her languid atmosphere, presence, and attitude are gone, in their place is now an intimidating aura, stirring me up like a bundle of thread.

Her relaxed expression tightened into one that shows ruthless.
It was as if she was a different person from a while ago… no, from all the time before.

 

「 —Welcome to the Assassin’s Guild.」 

Updates 3/3

Mabbo here.

It’s been a month since we last updated, and I’m terribly sorry about that.
You ever heard of KKN? Simply put, it’s a mandatory Community Service for college students.
You put a bunch of college students in some rural area then tell them to somehow improve the livelihood there.
Not only you can gain life experiences, it serves as a way to advertise your institute as well.
Yeah, I was doing my KKN.

Also, for Indonesian readers, I bet most of you know Desa Penari.
Well, though luck, the house my group stayed for a month was just as haunted.
Snakes appearing in the bedroom, someone knocking the bathroom window on the second floor, whistles you can hear every so often at the dead of the night, and worst of all, bad internet connection.
I couldn’t play Azur Lane because my shi*ty internet wouldn’t let me to update the game!

Oh, I also participated in a speech contest even in the midst of all that.
My pants’ fly broke before I went on stage, so I had to go to the bathroom couples of times to fix it with whatever tool available; my teeth.
Yeah, when other participants were nervous about their speech, I was biting my own pants for 30 minutes in the bathroom.
That was quite an experience.

Well then.
