Chapter 57 Five Potential Leaders
Her eyes were filled with utter terror, but before I could excavate the heart from her chest, a single being appeared behind me, spoiling my mood as he handed me a paper-- a direct order from him.
"Five people have been selected to take down London Bridge. Report to Borough High Street by tomorrow. Anytime later will result in your execution via our strongest men...."
My eyes slowly shifted to the man behind me, who froze with fear as my malice poured out from my body and onto the streets, creating an almost thick fog that blinded everybody nearby.
"London Bridge, huh? I thought it would be something more interesting," I cackled.
SHING
...
As I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed a pair of dark eyes staring at me from the darkness of my bedroom, but I didn't panic as I slowly sat up.
"What is it?" I whispered, slowly wiping the sweat from my forehead but soon noticing how my shirt was completely drenched.
"You seemed to be enjoying yourself in your dreams. I wonder what you were doing?" The woman smiled, her pearly white teeth revealing themselves to me as another pair of black eyes stared at me from the door.
"I don't remember," I smiled back before shuffling out of my sheets and noticing my pajama pants were also drenched with sweat.
"Take a shower and meet me at the main auditorium in thirty minutes. No earlier, no later. In thirty minutes, you better be down there; otherwise, you'll miss out on the fun,"
My eyes shifted from the woman and then back to the man standing right in front of my door as if to lock me in this room as I made my decision.
"Now, you all have been gathered here today because we believe you five are the best candidates for the leader of the Daggers. Just like how we have a leader for the Swords of this school, we must have a leader for the Daggers...."
"And how will we judge that?" The boy with long dark green hair asked, his pupils slowly shifting to the rest of us, and I nearly felt a chill get sent down my spine
What an impressive young talent... he has a promising future as an assassin... if he doesn't die too quickly, of course.
"You all are intelligent... I'm sure you know what we'll be doing," The woman smiled before her brother next to her stepped forward, clapping his hands twice.
"Everyone follow me. You never speak of this place to the common student, and you never tell of what happens in here to anybody. No matter how close they are... because then we'll have to dispose of them," The man smiled.
The kids present all shivered under the pressure of this man's bloodlust before following him down a flight of stairs that had opened up in the middle of the auditorium.
It wasn't a prominent place as there weren't many sports besides fighting in this school, but it was large enough to hold each grade level pretty comfortably for the occasional assembly.
As we walked down the stairs, I noticed the difference between my footsteps and the others.
Maybe the boy with long dark green hair could potentially match mine with a few more years of training, but in general, they were all still green and extremely wet behind the ears.
I mean, they are children, so I shouldn't expect a professional level from them, but it would be nice to witness such an event for myself.
Of these four kids, a new generational leader will be born.
Soon, the tension between the children had reached an all-time high, but before they could get anymore suspicious, we finally reached the bottom of the stairs and looked up, finding ourselves in a small cylindrical dirt arena with a large window at the very top.
"Now, let me explain how this will go down."
