The unknown assassin had shot P in the chest three times. He was wearing a hat that completely covered his face in the darkness of the shelves.

P immediately reacted after being shot by aggressively grabbing the assassin's right wrist, which held the gun. He quickly pulled the man's hand down toward the floor, and with a tight grip on the wrist, violently sprained it.

"Arrrggh..!" the assassin moaned in pure agony, completely losing his grip on the weapon.

Despite the sudden burst of pain, the assassin let go of P's neck, giving himself an ounce of movement to violently raise his left foot, attempting to stomp down on P's right knee to disable it.

P reacted instantly, fluidly weaving his right foot and body slightly to the left side.

The assassin completely missed. Before he could recover, his vision went entirely dark for a moment, followed by an excruciating, ringing pain exploding across his forehead.

P had countered the missed stomp with a brutal headbutt. The impact sent the assassin staggering backward to his left, slamming into a library shelf. Several heavy books fell off the shelf upon the hard impact of his back.

P, who had fully regained his balance, used his left leg to kick the dropped gun across the floor, sending it sliding against the wall behind him. He then started walking slowly toward the assassin.

P's eyes locked in deadly serious. He stopped walking, calmly glancing down at the assassin, who still had his hat covering his face in the dark.

The man stood before him, tightly holding a dagger in his left hand, keeping it close to his body with his legs widely spaced out in a defensive stance.

It must be that he was sent by the cult of Kalbē Mōṯ that I accidentally got involved with. It was only just last night and they are already on the move....... kinda good, P noted subconsciously.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJDjKoQg2K
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDY7Kd6Cgy

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyVsrhDe4v
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhkT3j5ksb
He immediately charged forward, lunging at P with his dagger.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSKE86fqmW
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf4WCWtCLH
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme7qPcnXO9
At that exact moment, P let out a tiresome sigh.

He intended to end this fight as quickly as possible since they were inside a public cafe and he didn't want any casualties—mostly concerning his fresh back injury. If he dragged out this fight, things would only go downhill for him, even if he survived.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CEs4rNZBG
The assassin came jumping in at P, driving his left knee straight toward P's chest. P quickly adjusted his posture, tapping down the incoming knee with his left hand. The assassin, holding the dagger in his left hand, brought it down in a fierce vertical arc to slice P’s chest wide open.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dzNPVNv3I
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC4BDx0Vm2
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZClmeiWrT
But P had already seen completely through the attack from the exact moment the man jumped into the air. He raised his right arm, blocking the hand holding the dagger upward.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq4DSqlmpR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVor9pfENb
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKXlyOCnfs
The assassin's eyes widened in pure shock the instant P blocked the strike, but it was already far too late.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYAW0nGYRV
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjRGdJcY7b
In the same seamless movement that P raised his right arm to block, he transitioned into a brutal counter. He twisted his right arm, tightly clenching his fist around the assassin's left hand. He spun his own body to the right to face backward.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q0SJylxjc
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKWkNrwEch
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWbIeHHw1z
In the process, he forcefully pulled the assassin through midair before the man's feet could even touch the ground. Grabbing the hand again with his left arm for leverage, P forcefully slammed the assassin's body over his shoulder and straight onto the floor.

P slammed the assassin flat onto his back against the tile floor. A spray of blood coughed out of the assassin's wide-open mouth. P had effortlessly countered the flying knee strike with a simple, devastating grappling technique.

The sudden noise briefly alerted a few people on the bright side of the cafe, but they quickly ignored it, assuming it came from the busy road outside.

P looked down. The assassin's left hand was still tightly gripping the dagger. P casually snatched the dagger from his fingers, tossing it away behind him while firmly planting his right foot directly onto the assassin's neck.

P stared down at the assassin's face with a cold, lifeless death stare, gradually pressing his Nike shoe down onto the man's throat even harder.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK65VcowCL
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJpeMfUJn

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniW019D2cF
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeuRQbK7E3
He removed his foot from the assassin's chest, placed it right back onto his neck, and started twisting his foot brutally as the assassin struggled beneath him.

When P saw that the assassin was reaching his absolute limit, he removed his foot and stepped back down onto his chest.

"I will ask you, one last time.... how did you find me?" P said, his voice deadly serious.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCx9XoPt5E
I will never tell him anything, I'd rather die! the assassin thought subconsciously.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlVVCQDnHV
Suddenly, the assassin's eyes widened in a wave of terrifying realization.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TqkyiXKMP
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JP3LsQm9T
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jlfQ2ExsB
No, I shouldn't. This man is dangerous... he wasn't someone I could handle from the very start. The effortless way he handled me, it was like I was a mere child. And when I even attempted that knee strike... the assassin's subconscious thoughts were abruptly disrupted.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZbvZCqFJg

"You're wasting my time. Bye-bye," P said calmly, raising his leg to stomp directly on his neck.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVUL4ZsZVP
Even with the flying knee strike and the simultaneous dagger attack, the best choice for an elite fighter would be to block my knee with their hands while dodging backward or sideways. Some get severely injured in the process or luckily don't get a scratch at all. And since I'm among the top ranks, my attacks are always accurate. This is logical, the assassin thought to himself in complete awe.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxhQycIQUS
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Xm1S6AjZ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xzDDfHId3
But this man is just built entirely different. Instead of behaving as expected, he played a flawless defensive counterattack. He used a simple grappling technique... he can switch and adjust to any fighting style at any given moment. His instinct and reaction rate are incredibly fast, all while remaining so perfectly calm.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf98lhHpfi

This man is dangerous. He's no ordinary agent.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTn6upTCYA
His eyes have something... but at the same time, they are completely empty. I must warn the higher-ups about this guy. They literally won't know what they are getting themselves into.... we have absolutely zero information on him. I must cooperate to survive and flee, but will he even let me live.....?

"I actually don't even have information about you! Just a photo!" the assassin squealed, shaking in fright.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWHRqRsnxN
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VdmM8Andr

"It was entirely by chance that I found you walking by the street! It was only just by pure luck..! I was only going after a girl... not you, I swear!" the assassin yelled, terrified.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MZDULFbeg
After a girl... they are already closing in on
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCPlNgrAzU
Hanabi.... and she lives right around here. At least there's a police station nearby, but these guys are highly dangerous. I was only able to defeat this guy because I am me, of course. But if it were anyone else, tsk.. what a huge pain in the ass.

This guy managed to sneak up on me and shoot me in the chest three times. If I hadn't put that hard, huge library book inside my shirt to shield my chest and zipped up my Lakers jacket, I would have been dead right now. I guess I was lucky... well, luck is also a part of the game.. KEKEKEKEKEKEKE, P chuckled darkly in his mind.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjCCXRlYnx
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSIk2pKTFK
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQOHAYFxI
By the way, I thought I shot him directly... how is he even alive? Now, will he kill me? No, he can't.... if he does, how would he be able to handle my dead body? This is a busy city. If my corpse is found, he could easily be traced, and it's impossible to hide a dead body inside a cafe. He would be quickly suspected. He knows these things... but those look in his eyes... the assassin panicked internally, staring up into P's dark gold eyes, which were giving off a terrifying death stare.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk74aTbH3Z

They remained in a heavy silence for a few moments while P gazed blankly and lifelessly down at the assassin. Suddenly, P raised his heavy foot. The assassin looked up in absolute horror.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvUYutKAV8

Sitting flat on a public park bench with a pink cotton candy store right behind her, a girl sat completely frozen. Her eyes were blank white and her mouth hung wide open. She looked entirely lifeless, as if she was about to give up the ghost right then and there... it was Hanabi.

The rest of Hanabi's friends were following close behind her, all approaching the bench from Hanabi's right side. They clearly looked like they had just had an absolute blast.

"Well, I don't want any of that stuff to happen to me in real life, so I won't be doing anything," Hanabi stated firmly.

"Hey, how about we just force her onto a rollercoaster anyway?" Yuki grinned evilly.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tOCqcnYoD
An intense imagination instantly flashed through her mind: she saw herself falling out of a looping rollercoaster car, her body hitting the ground with a loud SPLAT while nearby park-goers screamed in absolute shock.

"N-no.... I'm absolutely not getting on that thing!" Hanabi yelled, terrified.

They glared fiercely down at Hanabi, literal fires burning in their eyes. Min-seo felt a bit left out, so she tried copying their intense glares, but it only made her look incredibly cute and like she was about to burst into tears.

Hanabi ended up walking onto the streets just outside the amusement park to buy the bottle of beer for Yuki, since the park stalls didn't sell any alcohol.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AM81CGWkj
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4GMzvVNn
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpWPKOhE6q
"One bottle of beer, please," Hanabi ordered, standing in front of a small convenience store.

She continued her journey back toward the amusement park gates. She walked along the side of the road, close to a wide sea shore on her right side. A calm, freezing wind blew heavily through the night air.

Hanabi adjusted her scarf tightly because of the sudden cold, but a sudden gust of wind violently blew the scarf right off her neck.

She chased frantically after it, jumping up to try and catch the fabric, but the wind just blew it farther and farther away. Finally, she stopped, unable to chase it down any longer.

232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbmR7nMAce
Hanabi cursed her luck. But suddenly, her heart skipped a heavy beat. She glanced up.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAEb3gPw92
In the middle of the quiet roadside, with a few passersby walking calmly by under the streetlights, a hand had reached out and caught the flying scarf perfectly out of the air.

Her gaze slowly traveled up from the hand holding her scarf, tracking up the sleeve, until she was looking directly at his face...

It was P.

They both stood in complete silence for a long moment, locking eyes under the bright moonlight, while the waves of the sea shore crashed softly in the background.
