Fantasy Assassin in a modern world

Chapter 150: Bad Start

Matsuri arrived at the agreed-upon meeting spot and was at least half an hour early. She was wearing a black tank top covered with a blank trench coat, a knee-length black skirt, and black boots. At this point, she looked like a girl version of Fade, without the mask. She hasn’t noticed that she had unconsciously dressed as such.

Matsuri with her outfit plus her natural cold demeanor made her look like an extremely cool lady, which of course, attracted the attention of many male passersby. She came an hour early just to be sure, and as expected during the time she waited for Loki and the others to arrive many of those male gawkers could not hold it in and approached her. Of course, she rejected them all, there were even some that got a bit handsy so she too needed to get physical and beat them up.

It was a good thing that no Martial Artists joined in or it would become even more chaotic. The surrounding people weren’t that bothered by her beating down people since in this world of Martial Artists seeing a fight or two in the street was quite a normal occurrence. In fact, as long as the fight does not lead to death or affects non-related people, you can fight anytime you want.

“Big Sis Matsuri.”

Matsuri turned her head and saw t Alisa alongside Liam and Loki. The siblings had arrived on time without even a second more or a second less. It was quite impressive how on point they were.

“Sorry, have you been waiting long?” Loki asked despite already knowing the answer.

“No, I just got her as well.”

.....

When Loki heard Matsuri’s answer he looked at where he sat moments ago, there was an empty bottle of water, he also saw the dirt on Matsuri’s pants. It was hard to make out due to it blending into the dark pants, but Loki was able to tell that it was blood. Loki had seen a couple of tv shows and could guess what had happened to a pretty girl staying in one place. While he was sighing in his mind he felt something strange and looked behind him.

Loki could not see anything unusual but years of experience were telling him that something was wrong. He used his mana sensing to get a feel of what was happening in the surrounding area, before he could get a lock on anything specific he heard Matsuri’s voice.

“So where are we going today?... Is everything okay Loki?”

Matsuri, Alisa, and Liam looked at Loki who did not respond. The trio then looked in the direction Loki was looking, but no matter how hard they looked they saw nothing unusual, this was also true for Loki. Even after using the full extent of his mana sensing, he could not find anyone that could make him have this weird feeling he was having.

‘Was it just my imagination?...’

“Hey Big bro, are you alright?”

Alisa worriedly touched Loki’s arm and then her big brother suddenly disappeared from her sight. She then felt a hand touch her neck, it was so fast that she couldn’t even react. This was after the fact that she was a martial artist with superior senses, and even with that, she wasn’t even able to see how it happened.

‘Who is attacking me?’ That was the first thought that came into Alisa’s mind.

“Loki what are you doing?!”

Matsuri’s woke Loki up from his thoughts and he finally noticed that he was holding Alisa’s neck. Loki quickly let go of Alisa and backed away.

“Alisa are you alright?” Liam and Matsuri approached Alisa checking up on her.

“I’m alright.”

“What the f*ck were you trying to do?!”

Liam shouted at Loki who was still startled by what happened. He was concentrating so hard on looking for whatever it was that was making him feel uncomfortable that he didn’t even notice his body had moved to attack his own sister.

“... I... I’m sorry, Alisa I wasn’t.”

Seeing the look on Loki’s face, Alisa quickly stood up.

“No, it’s alright. I know you were just surprised by me touching you. So Let’s just move on and go.”

“Yes, Alisa’s right, nobody really got hurt so let’s just forget this little incident, alright?” Matsuri chimed in supporting Alisa.

“Forget it?... So we aren’t going to talk about why he’s acting weirdly, and that he attacked Alisa?” Liam spoke looking at Alisa and Matsuri weirdly.

“...” Loki hated himself for actually trying to hurt his sister the person he swore to protect with everything he had. Alisa suddenly hugged his arm and tried to pull Loki away.

“Let’s just go before we attract even more attention.”

...

After changing locations Loki was able to get his calm back. In his mind, there was no point in continuing to be affected by what happened.

“I’m really sorry about what I did. I made things rather awkward haven’t I? If you guys wanna cancel this outing I would understand.”

“No it’s alright, but why did you react like that big brother, what did you see?” Alisa couldn’t help but asked, the two other people were also quite curious to hear the answer.

Loki wondered if he should tell the truth or not. After a brief moment of hesitation, he gave an answer.

“I thought I saw a familiar-looking face so I was distracted.”

“Okay, then how were you able to move like that. I have seen many rank-four martial artists in school have sparring matches, but your movements were different from theirs. When did you get so good?”

“Oh, I do train hard as well. I wanted to be at least stronger than you guys.”

“Is that so?” Liam stared at Loki as if he wanted to see if what he was saying was true.

“Yeah, so if everyone is really alright now, how about we get back on schedule?” Before Liam could say anything more Alisa interrupted him.

“Alright then, if everyone agrees to that let’s see.” Loki checked the time. “If we run for a bit we will make it in time for the movie.”
