"Hey watch where you're going!" I growled at the men leading me somewhere as I was blindfolded

I felt the guy open the door to one of the rooms found in the institute. He untied the blindfold he has put on my head as I squinted letting my eyes adjust to the sudden bright light. After I had let it adjust as I scanned the room seeing a plague written with 'conference room'.

Inside I saw 4 people, Kllian's son, a girl with bright electric blue curls and chocolate skin, a girl with short brown hair and eyes, and lastly a guy with red cayenne hair and dark brown eyes. They all stared at us as the guards untied our hands while I growled at them growing angrier by the second. My brother and I sat down next to one another as the door once again opened revealing Kllian smirking.

"Ahh good you're back" He said as he smiled maniacally

"Fuck you!" I managed to reply as I was electrified with something

"What the heck?" My brother asked as he scowled

"I placed a chip inside both of you, if you don't obey my rules both of you will be shocked harder than the one that I had put your sister already through" He said as he continued to smirk as both Ares and I gave up sighing

"Since everyone's here let's all introduce ourselves, shall we?" He spoke once again as he sat in the middle

"I'm Kllian Rhaphael King, CEO of King's Institute" He spoke

"Lennox. Lennox Hallari King" The young guy said as he pushed back his jet, black hair while he stared at me with both his light blue eyes

"I'm Aithaliah Mary Joyce but call me AM, only the best girl you'll ever meet" the girl with the electric blue curls spoke as she purses her lips letting her care free personality show

"I'm Heccariah Klide" the girl with brown hair spoke as she smiled at us

"Last but not the least, the most handsome guy you've ever laid eyes on, Nharyon Eleris Cambridge, call me Nerion" He spoke with the most obnoxious tone I've ever heard as he pushed back his cayenne red hair while he used his other hand to take my hand and kiss it leaving me in disgust

I scanned the room to see none of them paying attention as it was our turn to speak. I took one of the knives from my bra strap once again and threw it across the room hitting the wall near Kllian's head causing everyone to look at me as Ares chuckled.

"Lia. Kalliah Grace Laurent, I never miss just a friendly advice" I spoke as I smirk at every one of them while they looked at me in disbelief as Kllian took the knife out of the wall marked with the letter L marking our signature logo

"I'm Ares, Arim Esthill Laurent, her twin brother" my brother spoke as we both looked back at Kllian waiting for an explanation for this meeting

"Since we all know one another, let's talk about the reason why you're all here"

"Some of you were brought here since you were born, 2 years ago, a year ago, 3 months before, or even yesterday but it doesn't mean you're not the best in the business. I need you all to do something for me" He spoke explaining the reason we're here further

"And if we refuse?" I asked as I continued to play with the knife Kllian gave back to me

"Then you die, as simple as that" he spoke while he smirked as I let his words sink in

"You'll ne investigating at someone who stole some weapons in the institute, weapons that are so dangerous which is why we only use at the academy for training. However, someone had stolen some of them which I believe were one of my students" Kllian spoke

"How do you even know they're your students I mean we got through your entrance pretty easy, anyone could get in" Ares spoke pointing out how we got inside to execute our failed heist

"That's the point, no one's supposed to get through it, it had 100 firewalls for a reason. Not even the brightest mind can solve it which is why instead of killing both of you we decided to spare you all to help us. Which leads to the point, the only ones who can get in are the ones who are already inside" He explained the situation more

"And if we succeed?" Nerion asked now more curious about the plan

"You'll all be set free getting a single thing of your choice as well whatever it is" Kllian answered almost as if money wasn't a problem, I mean they were loaded but I didn't know to that extent.

"Not to brag or anything, but I mean all of us are famous in the underground for being an assassin" Heccariah spoke, she did have a point. Almost everyone knew the phantom twins we were practically famous as no one knows us because we were known to not leave any traces behind nothing can lead back to us.

"That's why you all will pretend to be a student in this institute, except for Lennox and Nerion since they're already students here" Kllian spoke as he discussed the plan

"You all will change your names or keep you name registered at the government's system. This way you could all get a closer look at the students" He spoke once again. He did have a point I'd give him that.

As the meeting ended, I heard an arrogant voice call out to me as I looked back to see who it was.

"Hey amore" He smirked as he waved at me, it was Nerion.

He put his hands on my waist as it went down to my thighs, his face inches away from my ears as I felt his breath. I of course played along

"W-what are you doing" I said trying to sound as scared as I can

"Baby" his voice softened leaving only a couple of inches in between our faces as I faced him. I went near him causing him to back off, he might still have a conscience after all, until we reached the wall. I grabbed my knife from my knife belt and stabbed him in his leg.

"Don't do that to me again asshat" I said as I slapped him in the face as well, I returned my knife back to me thigh belt whilst rolling my eyes as the others laughed at what I did except for Lennox who just stared at me lost in his own thoughts.

LENNOX

——

She was fierce, I admit. The way she didn't even hesitate to stab Nerion as a reminder that he was wrong was fascinating. She didn't even flinch when he approached her, and yet still thinks fast on her feet. She was beautiful but smart as well, a dangerous combo especially for someone like her. She intrigued me. Game on Princess. This would be a fun school year.

"You've gone soft Cambridge" I said as I smirked while Nerion tried to get the knife out from his leg trying not to whimper as I laughed at him

After that 'encounter' I grabbed all my things as I made my way to the room Kllian provided us with. As I passed through the hallway, I heard two voices fighting inside a room of which looked like Kllian's office.

"Why can't you just let Nerion and is handle the problem? We both could handle it and besides we don't even know these guys, hell they could be spies" A voice spoke as he argued with Kllian

"Lennox, you and I both know you and Nerion can't handle this alone and besides no spy would go this far when they could just go through the front door and enroll" Kllian spoke

I decided to listen more to their argument. I knew this was wrong but who cares no one even knows I was here listening to their conversation. creak. I accidentally pushed the door causing it to create a noise. They both stopped talking as I heard footsteps coming closer to the door. Crap. I ran and went to my room as quick as I could and locked the door hoping they didn't see me.

LENNOX

I continued to argue with my dad as I didn't even agree with his decision to let anyone let alone a stranger pass through our doors.

As we continued to argue and scream at each other, we both heard the door creak. We both looked at the door as I approached it, I peaked at the door only to see someone with jet black hair running to her room recognizing her in an instant

"Who's there?" My father asked

"No one" I replied as I was intrigued

I guess you're far more interesting than you let anyone know

I head down to the shooting range to practice my aim more. I grabbed my favorite gun. Glock 27 semi-automatic handgun.

I went inside the range as I saw AM practicing her aim as well, I loaded my gun preparing to shoot the shot shell in front of me. Once again, I aimed it directly at the center as I flawlessly hit it directly at the position I wanted to. AM looked at me she was in awe at what I did

LENNOX

I was headed to the shooting range just to release some steam after the argument with my father only to see Lia loading her pistol as she directed her gun at the center of the shot shell. gunshot. It was aimed perfectly. It was directed at the center without it going out with even a single line it was perfectly shot at the center.

She was different. Her aim was flawless as she shot once again this time aimed at the the head. Once again, it was flawless.

I was intrigued, this school year really will be different. She'll make it different.
