🔥 Kozuki's brutal speed, his unpredictable movement— 🔥
It reminded her of something.
Valhalla Student (narrowing her eyes): "Tch. He moves like our assassins."
The leader of Valhalla Combat Institute folded his arms.
Valhalla Commander: "No. He's different."
The girl turned to him.
Valhalla Commander: "Our assassins kill in silence. That boy?"
🔥 He enjoys the hunt. 🔥
Asura War Academy – The Academy of Survivors
A lone man sat in a darkened room, watching the match.
