I was Sold at the Lowest Price in My Class, However My Personal Parameter is the Most Powerful - Chapter 474:
C474: Assassin / Kiyone
The meeting with the person on Jean’s list went more smoothly than I had imagined. Simply by telling the person the words on the list, the conversation proceeded easily and all kinds of information was gathered.
“Jean is amazing. After hearing the words he wrote everyone’s attitude suddenly changed.
After getting the information from the third person on the list, Brünnhilde says she is impressed. It must be a marvelous ability to be able to easily sway an opponent’s mind with a few words.
The information from the three people on the list alone was already enough to provide evidence of the subterfuge carried out by President Bouddarga but the amazing thing about Jean’s list is that each piece of information is just a trivial piece of data that is meaningless.
It is amazing that multiple pieces of information can be used as evidence and since the data is so trivial, the people on the list can easily provide us with information by simply saying a few words.
Jean’s list was really well thought out.
“Master Kiyone……”
As I enter the alleyway and make my way to the next person on my list, Brünnhilde informs me of the unusual situation with a mysterious expression on her face.
Of course I had also noticed the deadly presences that appeared around me. There were about ten of them, and from the way they appeared, I expected them to be suitably skilled.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the wind breaking and spotted the approaching signs of death but I avoided them.
Two arrows made of steel and with high killing power pierced the wall of the alleyway.
“Brünnhilde, Tris, they’re coming.”
They nodded and drew their swords, ready to attack. I put my hand on the hilt and searched for signs. It seemed that we were surrounded and it would be difficult to avoid the battle.
Slowly, one by one, the assassins appeared and all of them were wearing black hoods that hid their faces.
From the way they stood, there was no doubt that they were not your average gangsters. They are probably either government intelligence or military special forces…….
Either way, they are not easy opponents.
As if on cue, the assassins attacked all at once. Three assassins armed with daggers approached from the front.
They seemed to be trying to give me no chance to draw my sword, but I can draw my sword even at zero distance so I drew my sword at a distance of almost close contact and slit the neck of one of the assassins.
The assassins did not seem to be perturbed when they saw their comrade nearby with blood spraying from the neck.
I can’t see their expressions through their masks, but I can imagine that they are probably expressionless.
The remaining two assassins attacked me with their daggers. They are quite fast, but not fast enough to make me take them seriously and I repel all their attacks with a simple hand movement.
By repelling the assassin’s attack so strongly, I have thrown my opponent off balance.
It is a minor imbalance that a layman would not notice, but it is enough for me. With a single flash, I slashed down the two assassins at the same time.
By the time I had cut down three assassins, Brünnhilde and Tris had cut down one assassin each. The remaining five assassins seemed to realize that their target was no ordinary opponent, and they fled without achieving their goal.
