Once Upon an Assassin

Chapter 29

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

"Hey guys, I'm going to go buy something to drink before we go in, so you want anything?" A certain, long legged female with with lilac hair questioned as she pulled out a wallet.

"Purin!" Kayano yelled as she raised her hand excitedly.

Konomi sweat dropped and patted the smaller green haired female on the head, "From the vending machine Kaede-chan. I'm not going to the convenience store."

Kayano pouted, her head and shoulder slumped in disappointment.

Konomi let out a small chuckle of amusement, pulling out a lollipop from her backpack, "Here, this isn't purin itself but it's purin flavor. I promise to take you out next time okay?"

The green haired female's brown eyes lit up excitedly as she quickly unwrapped the sweet.

The rest of the teenagers who watched, laughed slightly before handing money to Konomi so she could go buy their drinks.

As the Konomi separated from her group, she walked through the main campus, recalling the memory of when she has attended there for one day.

"Now, the vending machine should be at the corner after I take a turn here...." She muttered.

Though as she was thinking, she could obviously feel the heated states she was receiving from the students of the main campus.

And feeling of annoyance started to form as people followed her as they took pictures as she walked.

'What the heck is going on? It's not like I'm in America anymore....' She thought as she carried herself faster.

By the time she was at the vending machine, she had a crowd of people watching her as she bought six drinks.

"The last drink is mine so... Acerola cider..." Konomi spoke to herself, her finger moving to press on the button of the drink she wanted.

Though as she pressed the button, a presence appeared behind her as a hand was placed by her head.

Konomi's breath hitches for a moment before she quickly realized who this hand might belong to.

'It's not Karma because this person isn't wearing a black blazer.... So that leaves one person....'

The lilac haired female hardened her eyes as she turned around, leaning against the vending machine as she glared at the strawberry blond haired male.

"Asano-san, what a pleasure of seeing you here," Konomi spoke sarcastically, her voice dripping with venom.

Asano gave the tall female a closed eyed smile, leaning his weight on the hand that was placed against the vending machine.

"It is, you're very missed in class A."

Konomi rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest, her drinks forgotten on the floor beside her.

People who watched grew excited as they watched Asano draw his face closer to Konomi's.

Konomi on the other hand stayed stoic, not moving a single millimeter. Though she did want to move as his warm breath hit her neck.

"Let's have a nice battle during the finals...." Asano whispered, his lips brushing against the female's ear.

Squeals were audible from the girls who watched, many of them fangirling about the two top student of their school.

Konomi opened her mouth to send him a snarky remark but before she could, she felt a sharp pain followed by a warm muscle sliding over her ear.

Her eyes widen in shock as she flinched away, immediately pushing the male away from her with her hand.

Splutter of words left her mouth as she glared at Asano, her cheeks showing a hint of red.

The male just smirked, looking victorious before swiftly turning around. The crowd opened a path for him, watching as he left.

Konomi stood there, her cheeks now growing red in anger.

'H-How dare he.....' She growled mentally as she picked up all the bottles she bought, shoving them into her backpack.

Though the female's expression calmed down as she slipped her backpack on, her chin held high as she walked pass the other students who watched.

>>TIME SKIPS>>

"What do we have here?" A voice spoke, disrupting the class E student from their study session.

A male with glasses stood in front of three more other males, looking down at Nagisa and the others who came to study.

"What a waste! For you lot, this library is like casting peals before swine, isn't it?" Araki, one of the Five Virtuosos mocked as he placed a hand on the table they all sat at.

'Wooo.... Of all people, to run into the Five Virtuosos we just heard about....' The class E students thought as they sweat dropped.

Seo Tomoya shooed at them with his hand, glaring at Isogai and Nagisa, "Move it squirts. Those are our seats, so go scoot on home."

Isogai calmly placed his textbook in front of him as he looked at the four males.

"We made all of the arrangement to reserve these seats for us today."

Though the said male was ignored as the other Virtuosos started to attack with words.

Koyama pushed his glasses higher onto his glossy nose as he cackled, "You lot have shitty memories, huh? In this school, class E can't oppose to class A? Cause your grades suck!"

"W-We can oppose to you!" Okuda muttered looking more confident than usual.

Everyone looked at the said female in surprise, not believing she was the one who stood up.

Unknown to them the glassed female has been getting secret lessons by Konomi to be more confident around people.

"We're aiming to take top spots in all subjects on the exam!! And then we won't let you just walk around like you own the place!!"

Nagisa smiled slightly as he watched Okuda. He was the one of the few people who knew about Okuda's extra lesson with Konomi.

Koyama gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Talking back to me, what a brazen woman."

Though the male suddenly stopped his sneering as he eyed all of them.

"Wait.... If my memory is correct.... Saying that all of them are unconditionally bad at academics isn't quite right....

Kanzaki Yukiko, ranked 23rd place in Japanese on the midterm... Isogai Yuma, ranked 14th in social studies. Nakamura Rio, 11th in English. Okuda Minami, Ranked 17in science."

Araki smirked as he walked up to Isogai, placing his hand the boy's head, pushing his antenna down.

"Interesting. Well then, how about this?" He questioned messing up Isogai's hair even more, "Whichever of our two classes has the higher number of spot in the five subjects can order the losing class to do whatever they want."

"We'll beat you, there's nothing else we have to say," A new voice chimed in, catching everyone by surprise.

"Well, well, well! What do we have here?" The voice was calm and feminine, cooing in a way that seemed to be like it was mocking a person.

The students of class E brightened as they realized one of their strongest ally has come back from buying the drinks.

Konomi had a expression and this air around her that screamed, 'Bow down to me, I'm superior to you!' She lazily sipped out of her drink while trying to comprehend what was happening.

Her lilac colored eyes skimmed over her classmates who sat by the table before narrowing on the four males who surrounded her friends.

"Who are-"

"KONOMI-CHAAAN!!!! You're back!!!" Kayano leaped out of her seat, wrapping her thin arms around the much taller female's waist.

The tall female patted the smaller girl's green hair, a small smile playing on her lips.

The four males from the main building in the other hand didn't look too well. Truthfully, they looked panicked, their eyes nervously flickering on the female before them.

"K-K-Konomi...? As in R-Royal Konomi?!" Koyama Natsuhiko hissed, grabbing his oily hair with his fingers.

"You mean the one who tied with Asano....?! 1st place in all subjects... Are you serious?!"

"T-This is her...!?"

Konomi inwardly smirked as she watched the males discuss something with each other, whispering as they huddled together. Though her smirk turned into a Cheshire smile, her lips stretching to her cheeks as she recognized two males out of the four.

"Are~? Why,  isn't it Seo Tomoya and Araki Teppei? I thought you two were expelled after the bullying incident," she recalled, making all of them remember how the video of Maehara getting a beating went viral all over the world on the web.

Konomi's voice was light, fake innocence dripping off of each word that escaped her lips.

Both males who were mentioned, stiffened as they remembered who actually took the video.

The girl right in front of them. And that girl also seemed to be Royal Konomi, one of the two who scored the highest in the school in the midterm test.

Nagisa who was silently watching, sweat dropped as he observed Konomi. Though he rubbed his eyes as he thought that he saw a tail and horns grow out of Konomi as her teeth became sharp.

'I swear, Konomi-chan is getting similar to Karma-kun as the year goes on. I just thought I saw a tail and horns grow out of her like how it happens to Karma-kun when he gets mischievous...' The petite male thought as he scratched his cheeks as he laughed hesitantly.

While her classmates watched, Konomi was deep in thought as she eyed the main building students who were avoiding eye contact with her.

She was disappointed as she realized that her action from few months ago didn't truly lead to what she expected and wanted.

The video of Maehara getting beat up  by the two males should have gotten them kicked out of school, expelled permanently in the program. But....

'Asano chairman must have done something so they wouldn't get expelled... Damn, I underestimated that man, he has more influence than what I assumed.....' She thought while she continued to smile, not breaking her expression.

She placed her backpack down as she nonchalantly sat herself down in a chair, her legs crossing as she sent a mocking smile at them.

"We'll accept your challenge, I expect you to not go back on your promise alright?" Konomi spoke, a dark aura escaping out of her.

'How come we didn't know she was Royal Konomi?' Araki thought in panic as he recalled the memory of himself getting embarrassed in front of the whole school by the lilac haired female. 'How come she's in Class E...?! Her academic level is on the same level as Asano! She shouldn't be in a low class like E!!!'

Konomi was well aware how her presence had tipped the confidence these males had moments ago. She was confident in her academic scores, she wasn't going to lose that easily. And even if these guys made it hard for her, she wasn't going down without a fight.

"Or are you backing out of it? Are you scared that you'll lose to us lowly class E?" Konomi mocked as she propped her folded hand on the table, placing her chin on it.

"Hah? What the hell are you talking about?! We can even stake our lives on the out come!" Seo cockily stated as he placed a arm around Nagisa's shoulder.

Though his sentence seemed to snap class E's patience.

In an instance, Nagisa, Nakamura, Isogai, and Kanzaki had a writing utensil or a finger pointed at each of the Virtuosos's neck where it would be a instant kill.

A feeling of pride swelled up Konomi's chest as she stayed where she sat, sending a closed eyes smile at the frozen males.

"Now, I believe we all think you shouldn't be so quick to offer your lives, no?" Konomi opened her lilac eyes, a predatory glint gleaming in them, "It'll be awful if you lose, since you did say you'll stake your life, are you still planning on doing so?"

Seo nervously started to sweat.

"Uh! Fine! The contest is still on! We're gonna give you an order so nasty, you'll wish you were dead!"

At that moment the four males scrambled off, leaving Konomi and her friends seated at the table.

The bloodlust in the air seemed to lessen until it completely disappeared as if it never was let out.

Nakamura suddenly stood up as she lazily walked over to Konomi. The blonde female suddenly smirked as she threw a arm over the lilac haired girl's shoulder.

"So you dragged us into a competition without even asking us huh?" The blonde female slowly spoke, her baby blue eyes filling with mischief.

Konomi blinked few time before a sheepish laugh escaped her lips, "Heh, well you all were going to do this anyways, right?"

Nakamura drowned dramatically, "Of course not! You had to drag us into this mess! Have are you going to pay us back?"

Konomi's lilac eyes widen slightly as she stared at her friend, 'Shit... I forgot Rio-chan could be as bad as Karma at times....' The said female thought as a thin layer of sweat started to appear on her skin.

Nakamura smirked victoriously as she sat back down to her seat, "Alright! It's decided!!! When we win against the Five Virtuosos, Konomi is going to have to listen to one command from me!!!!"

Konomi's mouth dropped open but she didn't argue, she wouldn't want to make it worst for herself.

The blonde only said one command from her... At least Karma or any other guy couldn't make her do anything.

Better Nakamura than Karma....

With her shoulders slumped in defeat Konomi nodded as Nakamura cheered happily.

>>TIME SKIPS>>

~Main School Building~

A certain strawberry blond haired male sat in a table, his chin resting on his hand as he eyed the four males who nervously stood in front of him.

"There's a rumor going around that you made a wager with class E. The class which takes the top spots in more subjects can order the losing team whatever they'd like?" Asano Gakushuu questioned, a small smirk on his face.

Seo nervously scratched his neck as he laughed, "S-Sorry Asano. I thought it was a pointless bet but... W-Well those class E guys came charging at us so...."

Gakushuu rubbed his chin as a small
smirk played on his lips, "I don't really see a problem with it."

The four other males in the room let out of sigh of relief, their shoulders relaxing.

"They'll be under pressure more than we will. Still, we should make the rules perfectly clear. It would certainly be a pain if there were to be complains later," the blondish orange haired male stated as he slipped out a laptop, "How about this? The winning class may give only one order. That order will be announced after the test completion."

Koyama cackled, "Just one, huh...? That's a bit disappointing. Have you considered the losing risk, Asano-kun?"

Sakabaki, brushed his bangs up as he posed, "What should our command be?"

Before any of them could give any suggestions, the young male typed into his computer with one hand. The sound of extreme tapping echoing though the classroom.

With a last click Gakushuu moved the computer so it's screen faced the class, "Accept this agreement, that's all."

The students of class A stared at the long document in shock, not believing their student president was able to type it so fast.

"Unbelievable...!"

"Amazing! Expected of Asano-kun!!!!"

Sakakibara sweat dropped as he pointed to the screen, "Did you come up with all of this at the spur of  moment, Asano-kun? That's frightening."

The said boy laughed as he leaned back in his chair, "Frightening? It isn't a big deal," the male's violet eyes darkening, "This is just a little game that falls within the boundaries of fellow students governing themselves. I have a good grasp of civil laws, so... If I get serious, I can even create a contract designed to crush people."

"But the last agreement is unexpected..." Araki muttered as he shifted his glasses up his nose.

The class turned towards the broadcast president as he read, "It says, 'Royal Konomi, from class E will be permanently removed from her class and switched into class A'? Why is this needed in this agreement?"

Gakushuu calmly sat in his chair, his legs crossed, "Konomi-San has excellent grade and academic skills. It'll be a waste if she stays in class E where all of the useless are rotting. It would be a shame if she rots with them no? Class A is a perfect place for her to belong. And it'll strengthen our academic grade if we have an excellent student.

Voices of agreement rang as Gakushuu smirked victoriously.

"Everyone! What I wish to convey through this is, if we're going to do this, we'll play for keeps. No matter the opponent, we shall face them with all of our strength! This is the duty of Class A, which shine down upon everyone!"

The class cheered as Asano smirked, sitting back down in his seat.

He placed a hand on his chin, his smirk widening as he covered his eyes with his bangs.

'Now... As father wished, Royal Konomj should be taken out of Class E and brought back to class A.....'

☆Class E☆

Konomi sat in her desk, looking slightly guilty as her classmates studied.

Though, a certain red head was the only one not sticking his nose into a book, studying like his classmates.

"Hey, Karma-kun!!!" Koro-Sensei snapped as he wiggled his tentacle angrily, "Please take your studies seriously!! You could aim for the top composite easily!!!"

Karma let out a yawn as he picked up his textbook of his face, squinting at his teacher, "Thanks to your teaching methods, I'd be able to get it without you even saying anything," the redhead lazily spoke.

Konomi watched the two in interest, stopping Kanzaki from helping her in Japanese for a moment so she could listen.

"But, y'know," Karma spoke as he leaned on his knees, "Lately, you've been going on about, 'taking the top score' and you're becoming as shitty and boring as any normal teacher. And how of dear, Konomi-chan having a bet with them. It's quite obvious how they're planning something up their sleeves."

Konomi avoided eye contact with her friend's Mercury gold eyes because she was aware how Karma was in a bad mood these days.

The red head clicked his tongue as he threw his legs onto the table, tipping his chair back, balancing on two legs.

"Hey Karma, don't worry! I mean we got nothing to lose!" Okajima laughed as he stuck his thumb up.

Kurahashi nodded, hugging her textbook to her chest, "And if we win, we can ask for anything right? I'd love to be able to use the cafeteria!"

"Nurufufufu~ Sensei has thought of something for that," the yellow octopus smiled, looking rather happy and excited.

The whole class turned their attention in him, paying close attention to what he was about to say.

Out of no where, he pulled out a pamphlet, showing it to the class.

"I was looking though the school pamphlet earlier, and found something we'll definitely want," Koro-Sensei flipped through the pages for a second before stopping, "What do you think about them giving us this....?"

The students gasped as they ran forward trying to get a closer look at the page Koro-Sensei was showing.

The only one left in their seats were Konomi and Karma who seemed calm as ever.

Koro-Sensei lifted up a tentacle as he eyes all of his students, "You have all experienced the very bottom. That's why, next I would like you to experience something from the very top!!"

Konomi leaned back in her seat as her body relaxed, seeing all of her classmates hold a confident look.

'We'll be fine.... I believe in this class.....' The lilac haired female thought as she brushed her fingers through her hair.

Here eyes shifted to the boy next to her, her clean eyes furrowing slightly.

"Karma... Are you sure you don't need to start studying? I haven't even seen you seriously look at your textbook this whole week," Konomi whispered as so their conversation wouldn't be heard.

The said boy just gave the female a
nonchalant look. Though his mouth tugged up at the corner as his eyes filled with slight mischief.

Konomi who saw this groaned and moved away from the boy, immediately realizing he was going to do something to her.

"So, I've heard from Nakamura-San."

Konomi mentally grew pale but gave the red head a closed eyes smile, acting as clueless as she could.

"Heh? What are you talking about? Did Rio-chan say something about me?"

Karma's smirk seemed to widen as he threw his hand into his head, "Nothing really to make your little pretty head of your worried. Though, just telling her, I've offered a lot of things she can make you do."

Konomi's nose twitched though she kept the smile on her face.

'Damn.... What can I do to make him pay....?'

"Ne, Karma, let's make a bet, no....?"

A/n

Hey Guys!!!

I just love making Konomi so badass. I feel like she can get away with literally anything!

Anyhow, school's tough. so I'll be updating less often, which means instead of every week updates, it'll likely be every two weeks or something. And the next chapter is going to be chapter 30 so it'll be longer than usual!!!

I can't believe I've written this much, I couldn't have come this far without all of you readers!!!

Another information i want to express is. Its actually a favor. So I've been on watt pad for a pretty long time, its almost 4 years. And as I started to publish more works and slightly got more readers as a fan fic writer, i started to get message about copy right issues.

Some of you might have seen my comment on my board a week or so ago. I did find someone copying my Elementally Gifted, Hunter x Hunter fanfic. And it made me so livid. Now heres the favor, if you find a book that is similar to mine, please notify me. Its absolutely frustration g finding your book you've taken so long to write be taken. It really makes me furious.

Anyhow, thank you for reading!!

the picture to the side is suppose to be GIF of class E attack the five virtuosos but if it dent come out please let me know!!!

sincerely,
