Karma was trying to reach Nagisa for nearly a week.

They had promised to meet after that "class E meeting day", but after that phone call Nagisa had disappeared all of a sudden.

Karma had even gone to his house, but there was no one. Maybe he was the one who was paranoid, but...

He decided to call him for the one last time.

"Hello?"

Karma's eyes widened when he finally heared Nagisa's voice. Though Nagisa's voice sounded depressed.

"Nagisa? Are you okay??"

"I try to be." A sighing voice came from the other side of the phone.

Something had happened... Karma could sense it, but according to Nagisa'a voice, he didn't really like to talk about what did happen.

"Would you like to meet?"

Nagisa became silent for a moment. He was thinking.

As Karma started to think that he closed the phone, Nagisa talked again.

"Maybe a month later?"

A month? He was busy for a month?? Karma couldn't understand.

"Promise me you'll show up though."

"Promise."

"Karma, I'm sorry I need to close."

"I can guess."

He could guess? Nagisa was surprised to hear that.

Well...Karma was one of the smartest people in the world anyway, of course he could guess.

"See you later Nagisa."

And both of them closed their phones.

"If your phone calls again while I'm training you, you'll stay like this for an hour! Do you understand??! Now hand me your phone, you brat!"

Nagisa quickly nodded and gave his phone to his "tutor", getting back to his position. He was currently learning how to keep his balance while hanging upside down on a bar.

"You're lucky that the mistress didn't take your phone!"

"Now stay like that for 30 minutes more, if you want to be a capable assassin you must be able to stay on anywhere, in any shape without loosing your balance."

"30 minutes??!!" Nagisa's eyes widened.

Nagisa had already started to feel nauseous, how was he going to stay like that for 30 minutes??

A powerful slap hit his cheek.

"I'm the one who is in charge here brat!! Instead of complaining, do what I say to you!You can't trick me with your weak body, I won't go easy on you!You've already known the basics thanks to that octopus, now we're going to improve them!"

"You can't go home, before you finish this!"

Nagisa closed his eyes and tried to focus on what he was ordered to do, but soon enough his legs started to shake.

He wasn't going to make it...

He could feel his legs were slowly slipping down.

Hold on. Nagisa thought, gritting his teeth.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hold o-----

He fell on the floor.

His disgusting tutor walked next to him and looked at him with pity.

"8 minutes 34 seconds"

"You couldn't even do it for 10 minutes" The man kicked him.

"Stand up now!! Again!!"

Nagisa crossed his eyebrows when he kicked him like that. He didn't stand up.

"I'm not your puppet" he mumbled and looked away from him.

The man got angrier and kicked him once again, hoping that he'll learn his lesson.

But instead, Nagisa smiled at him.

Why the hell was he smiling?!! The man felt irritated and kicked the boy once again.

And again.

And again, until a high heeled shoe voice started to echo in the training room.

"I think it's enough for today Daichi-san"

The man immediately bowed his head.

"Yes, mistress" said Daichi.

"Aw dear, let me help you get up" the woman kneeled next to Nagisa and tried to help him but Nagisa pushed her hand by hitting it.

"Don't touch me" he hissed at the woman.

"Don't ever dare to touch me" Nagisa glared and stood up all by himself , spitting blood.

"How dare you talk to the mistress like that?!" Daichi was going to hit him once again but the woman stopped him.

"It's okay Daichi-san"

"I've got a name you know, it's Sora" the woman pouted at Nagisa.

"Your name doesn't matter." Nagisa looked up at her, crossing his eyebrows.

"You're just the killer of my father and you'll pay for it!"

"All you do is talk honey" the woman sighed, teasing him. "How was his perfomance today?"

" He couldn't even stay on the bar for 10 minutes." Daichi looked at Nagisa with a disgusting smile.

"And you were going to kill me, right Nagisa?" The woman laughed.

"Anyway I should probably hire more teachers for him. He is so weak that I don't think you'll be enough Daichi-san" They both laughed.

"See you later Nagisa-chan"

"I hope you can kill me before I die" and they left him alone with his growing anger.
