Kori walked off the crowded boat. He didn't like how crowded it was but he'd have to get used to it if he were to stay. Walking towards pickup, he got his weapons. The process was a bit long for his weapons and they were sent separately, but for him becoming a butei it was better than having to buy new weapons here. Some of the Butei Laws he had already broken but that was before he was even a butei. Kori picked up his weapons and over-packed suitcase. He then got onto a bus and waited for the time to get off. Getting used to the place and being a butei would be hard for some of the things he learned when he was younger would interfere. "Ah, Kori. We were expecting you." Kori walked into the office and sat down, leaving his stuff by the door. "I expected you read over the Butei laws and rules?"

"Sure. And wouldn't they be told in the introduction ceremony?"

'You're right. Now you know what we do, but do you have any questions?"

"Yea. The Assassination missions."

"What about them?"

"How exactly are you supposed to do them? Butei aren't allowed to kill under any circumstance but to assassinate someone is to kill them."

"You got me there."

"And I get the no killing part and all, but we're talking about crimes. Killing is part of it all."

"I get that killing is part of crime and this job Kori, But killing is also a crime which paints you as a target and can get you arrested."

"But what if it is in self defense and protecting others? Especially those mass killers like Hitler!" The Headmaster then leaned forward.

"Kori. You get paid for this job and it is about solving crime with the least casualties. War is different." Kori sighed. The Headmaster then continued.

"I get that you are not used to this, but this is how butei work. They get paid, solve crimes, and go on another mission for money."

"Yes sir. It's just that killing is an instinct. When you are under fire or someone is getting attacked its only instinct to take that person down. Sometimes you can do it without killing but other times it's just better to end the person."

"That's how war is. But there is no war going on at the moment and there likely won't be one anytime soon. If you want you can go back."

"I'm already here. There is no going back. I'll try my best sir."

"I know you will. Now go and get acquainted with the place. School starts tomorrow." Kori got up and exited the office with his stuff.

'Fuck! I'm completely lost and stuck wandering about outside the women's dorms.' Kori sighed. He needed a map before someone saw him. His stuff continued to clatter as he walked along the pavement before he found a map to show where he was going. He decided to take a picture of it for future reference. It wasn't long before he got to his dorm and unlocked the door to enter. The room was the size of all the other dorms but he didn't have a roommate so he got the room all for himself. He decided to unpack, starting with the bedroom. He placed his FN-57 in the space between the mattress and the frame, same with a knife and few other things. Kori also set his bed and placed a few traps around the dorm. He decided to go to bed early after unpacking to get used to the timezone change.

Morning arose and seemingly Kori woke up. Maybe because he used boat and car instead of a much faster plane. He put on his black military scarf and uniform. It shouldn't be against regulations and if it was he could just put it away. Kori loaded his FN-57 and P-90, tucking them both in his uniform. He also loaded a few other weapons on him which might've been a little overboard but better safe than sorry. They also didn't really restrict his movement.

Not much happened that morning as he got on the bus. Some of the ride he sat alone before someone sat next to him but he didn't care. 'Mondays...' Kori thought as he got off the bus, signed in, and walked to class. When he got to the door he attempted to slide it open only for the other door to slide in front of him. Trying again, the same thing happened. After that he used the other door to enter the class. Observing the room, he decided that he would sit in the middle row farthest from the window. It provided some advantage if someone were to try and attack, not that they would enter a class or school full of weaponized kids. It would take a while for the introduction to start so that was why he was in the classroom instead. After checking the class he went to the auditorium for the introduction before it started. "Hello students. Now that most of you are here it is time to start. There are a few rules that we will talk about later but first lets start with the Butei charter." The headmaster started to introduced the students.

Most of the students focused on what the headmaster was saying while others dozed off. Kori paid half attention for some of the things he knew and read about before he came whilst others were new to him. "Now students, all of you are E rank so we shall take an exam to decide your rank. The highest rank possible is A rank and those few who excel exceptionally are possible to get S rank. Your rank can also increase or subside throughout the year. There are a few ways to raise your rank, like completing quests within the specified time."

'Oh great.. A test on the first day of school.' Kori sighed. An assistant then handed out the test to each of the students in turn. There was also a time limit to complete the test. Kori did what he could on the test before the time was up. The exams were then taken in. "You will all be ranked by tomorrow morning so be sure to check your lockers for your test score." The headmaster then continued with the rest of the introduction. 'damn they must be fast workers if they can complete all of the ranks by tomorrow with this many students.

They then finished the introduction and were handed more papers to choose their period five class. Kori chose to do an assault class. He would learn how to drive cars when he did driving school. The rest of the students finished before they all went to get their books and materials for class. They did a few more things before the students split up to head to the period five class they chose to see what the class is about. Kori and the other student listened to the teacher which was more of a strict military commander than an actual teacher. Although there were a few nicer teachers to assist for one person couldn't teach so many students, saying some are more resistant.

All the students were lined up with their own weapons for target practice. Each started with the targets fairly close and with each round they got farther and farther. Kori did fairly well but he was still in the more bottom part of the list.

The headmaster did a few files on his desk. The work phone then rang and he picked it up. Listening to the person on the other end he picked up two other files that were completed already and looked through them. "So it seems..." He muttered as the other continued, "That's a higher rank than specified and shown. Not that that rank exists." He then sighed and ended the call as the person on the other end finished his work. The headmaster then looked at the two files, "A whole army huh."

He sighed as he then set the two files back in the completed pile and continued with the other files. The sun then descended as the files were complete and the rank envelopes were put in the lockers. Quests were also put on the mission board.

Dawn arose, but Kori was up way before. He was already ready and was on his computer. The last few days had been uneventful. He did whatever as the hours passed by before he grabbed a few more things and exited his room. The bus door opened as the students filed on. One of them then called out, "Hey E, If you need help you can ask."

E was the nickname he got for his rank. Kori sighed as he sat in whatever place he found suitable for him. The trip was stop and go as people got on before the final destination. School. Right as Kori got off he was called to the Headmaster's office. "Now you are likely wondering why you are here Kori. The last few days you have shown absolutely no progress in improving your rank. I'm suggesting you have some tutoring."

"Sorry, but no thank you."

"The only other option we really have is for you to improve or to send you out."

"I'm already here so there's no going back is there?" The headmaster then spoke.

"Well there is a night op mission that is bound to be selected by our S class sniper. You shall assist her on the mission same with a few others for it will be dangerous. Stay here after period five when the mission starts."

"Wait! Didn't you say it was a Night Op?"

"Precise. But it will take a while for you to arrive at the location." The headmaster then replied as Kori bowed and left for class. The periods passed by as usual until school ended. When it did end he went back to his room to grab a few things before heading back. When he got back there was a black van sitting with the side door open. The van looked to be made for off road for it was lifted and had off road lighting. Kori stepped in and was briefed as one of the people closed the door and the vehicle started moving. There were six people in all, including him. "You're lucky to be on this mission low rank." One of the soldiers said.

"C'mon boss. It'll be a good experience."

"Can it Rifle. Anyways what's with silent girl over here?" Boss growled as he shoved his thumb in the direction of the sniper. The sniper was wearing her uniform with a T-neck under and a cloak over. The girl clutched her AS50 with her gloved hands. There was also another butei and soldier. "Anyways. You're with me. Unlike you detectives, we can kill. So learn from the pros." Boss growled.

"Although not having to kill anyone makes it harder." The other butei replied. Boss only scoffed. "Now. I know you know this is an assassination mission. But it is dangerous. Although it does give lots of money, and for you guys it'll give you lots of points to rank up. I'm Rook by the way." The third soldier replied. Kori already identified the other butei as Basura, which he didn't really want to insult his name, but meant trash in Spanish. The trip was silent for the rest of the hours. When they came to a stop it was already arriving at midnight. The sniper was the last to get off as they headed into the trees. Boss then turned to him, "You're with me. Don't interfere or you'll likely get killed!"

They trekked more before the Sniper broke off from the group and they arrived into a lit clearing. "That's a lot of personnel. Almost like a raid force." Basura muttered.

"No fucking dur." Boss growled while smacking him up the side of the head. They then ran and crouched behind one of the jeeps. Rifle looked over the jeep while trying to find their target before one of the soldiers walked towards them to move the jeep. Rook quickly took the soldier out with his silenced pistol but it didn't go unnoticed and the alarm sounded. Boss cursed as they returned oncoming fire. A jeep near a group then exploded and a few more men dropped. They managed to push the soldiers back before reinforcements came in using heavy machine guns. Their cover jeep was then ridden with bullets. "Where the hell is our backup fire!?" Boss yelled for their sniper fire ended a few minutes ago. "Shoot the explosives! When they explode run!" Kori yelled as he aimed with his pistol. Strike. Fuel ignited as the group turned and ran.

This mission was a complete ambush. Jeeps chased as they continued to run. Kori then tried to split off to find the sniper. "There's no time! Get to the extraction!" Boss tried to pull him back but failed as Kori disappeared into the brush and the area was overrun. The Van then came into sight. "Start the engine! Start it now!" Rook screamed as they jumped into the open door and the van drove off with it still open. Rifle looked out of it with his gun at the ready and aimed. They got on the street as Rifle closed the door. "FUCK!" Basura scowled as he pounded on the metal wall of the van.

They all slumped down onto the floor. "We gotta go back" Rook muttered.

"There isn't any going back. definitely not back there! That place is friggin' infested." Boss growled. They all sat there as they were driven back. Boss thought about how he was going to explain how he lost two butei that he was hired to look after as part of the mission.
