It has been seven years since grandpa started trainning me. I have learned many basic assassination techniques and how to control my mana to a certain extent and grandpa taught me even how to control my life force.
But most intresting skill I learned from grandpa is emotion reading through analyzing life force and the mana that they are releasing. Grandpa once said assassins have been under decline since the last 100 years due to assassin wars and skills that being assassing can teach you. All other kingdoms expect Elf kingdom have banned trainning of assassins.
But every noble and royal knows this isn't true. Every country has been trainning assassins in secret, but others have forgotten the skill of reading emotions. Me and grandpa are currently probably some of the last alive assassins with a skill to read emotions due to other countries making the skill forbidden and forgetting it over time.
But thanks to that i have a bigger problem currently on front of me is the fault of the skill.
"When are you going to come to the trainning fields at the mountain tree?" Grandpa asked while getting ready to leave from our tree house.
"I'm coming today."I replied with a blank expression as ever.
The problem I was talking about is I don't have any great social skills remaining. Because why even talk to people when you know already their emotions about you when you walk in front of them.
Grandpa has gotten over the problem but he is already old and experienced.
I leave through the window to a tree branch.
"I'll race you to the mountain tree kid!" Grandpa yelled from the ground.
"Fine." I said.
The only person I have to talk is grandpa because he can conceal his presence.
I start jumping from a tree branch to next tree branch. Today I'll beat grandpa. We both use mana reinforcement while concealing our presence so we both never know which one of us is going to be the fisrt one to the mountain tree.
Oh I'm coming across the village housing, I'll just from roof to another roof.
I should probably mention that I have grown during these past months so much about from my lenght of 140cm at 8 years old to 176cm at 15 years old.
As I start getting near the mountain tree I can see grandpa already there with many of his students new and old ones.
The village has established new rule every clan must send some children at age 15 to train to be mages, warriors, rangers, barrier mages and healers rather than being taught to something peaceful like research or making more homes. My grandpa is the only one that can train assassins in the village usually after 6 months my grandpa starts an expedition to the other elf village at the other side of the world with 3 students or less to be trained as assassins.
"Alan if anything happends to my kid. I will kill you Alan." Fir Flamme said with anger on his face.
I'll watch this from shadows.
"I'll manage dad and besides if you never can't let your daughter have freedom of her own I'll..." Fana Flamme said while pouting.
"You'll do what!" Fir Flamme yelled.
"I'll get a boyfriend to beat you!" Fana yelled at her dad.
Both of them are leaking so much hot mana that even probably those that don't know how to read emotions know that both of them are mad.
"Now, now don't argue here your daughter isn't late and don't worry she won't die or get seriously ill in my class." Grandpa Alan said with a nervous face.
"B-But teacher Alan what if she gets hurt or even worse she gets a boyfriend." Fir Flamme said with tiers flowing from his eyes.
"Then you will have to accept that Fir."Grandpa said while he took a deep sigh.
Fana started running inside the trainning fields and her dad started going into the opposite direction.
I jump down from the tree where I saw the situation.
"You finally came here the class will be just about each of our magic types and how many cores each student has. Did I mention that I made the parents few years ago to start teaching at least one children of theirs some offensive magic."Grandpa Alan said.
He did what. I am intrigued that granda thought this far ahead about teaching combat and offensive magic to them.
"Silence again. But silence is good if you are an assassin so just introduce your self in the class and that will be it."
Grandpa goes to the trainning fields first where every student is waiting.
I go silently to the field through a diffrent enterance.
"What took you so long teacher Alan." Every student said at the field.
"I just had to speak with my grandson before coming here." Grandpa Alan said.
"Where is he?" A blond elf asked.
"I think he is already here or he is coming here but we should start with the introductions even though most of you know each other from middle school, I'll also check everybody who is present here." Grandpa Alan said.
"My name is Jay from tha clan of Volt and my specialty is reinforcement magic and my element is lightning."
"My name is Emily from the clan of eye, my specialty is illusions and my element is nature eye."
"My name is Jack from the clan of wasser, I specialize in ranged spells and my element is water."
"I'm Zane from the clan of ice, my specialty is defensive spells and the element I use is ice."
"Hello, my name is Fana from the clan of flamme, I use the element of fire at offensive magic."
"My name is Dell from the clan of Holz, my specialty is close ranged spells and my element is wood."
"My name is Amy from the clan of earth, I don't have any specialty but my element is earth."
"My name is Aella from the clan of wind, I also don't specialize in anything and my element is wind."
"Good now that you have introduced yourselfes except Allen." Granpa said.
"Hi I'm Allen from the clans of darkness and light. The name of my clans should tell you my magic ability but I will not tell my specialization." I said while being behind everybody.
They all started to get away from me slowly like I was somekind of freak.
"Good now that the introductions are offically done we will start measuring your mana core amounts and what kind of mana each of you is generating." Grandpa said.
Allen has intelligence, power and thirst for revenge, but he doesn't have great social skills. After humans attacked the elf city. Allen promised to himself to become stronger to hunt down the ones that killed his clan, but first he must become strong enough with help from his grandpa so he might achieve his goals.
