Fantasy Assassin in a modern world-Chapter 43

Going back to work

Loki who was carrying Matsuri could feel the injuries he got from the incident before were slightly opening up. He couldn’t go to the hospital since people would ask questions, so he was using his mana to speed up the healing of his wounds. Unfortunately, even with his enhanced healing due to the mana circulating through his body, the wounds he received from those gunshots weren’t healing as fast as he wanted them to. It was taking a lot of his mana just to close them up.

‘Tsk, if I knew this would happen, I would’ve tried to learn some healing spells.’ Even back in his old world, he kept on saying that, but he never really did learn any spells for healing. While grumbling in his heart, Loki continued to wait for a taxi.

...

The following day, Loki woke up early as he was going to check on Matsuri. As he went downstairs to the guest room, he saw that Alisa was sleeping on a chair in front of the guest room. Looking at her guarding that door, Loki chuckled. He then carried Alisa back to her room. Loki then checked on Matsuri and saw that the detective was sleeping like a log.

Once he was done checking up on everyone, Loki looked at the email he received the other day. It was about his paid leave ending. The school informed him that they will be welcoming him back during the morning assembly.

Loki wondered about what was happening in that school, and why the old Loki had that accident. Even now as many memories of the old Loki had come back to him, there were only a few that were related to that school and none related to that accident.

‘Was it really an accident? Though I don’t have any memories of it, my gut is telling me something deeper is going on... I wonder, what kind of things will happen today.’

Loki then went back to his room to see what tools he could bring into school without getting caught. The wired gloves should be fine and one dagger hidden in his boots. He was going for a semi-casual look and had bought new clothes a few days ago since the old ones no longer fit him.

.....

Now that he was fully dressed, Loki looked at the mirror and was quite pleased with himself. It has been two months since he came to this world. When he just transmigrated into Loki’s body it was a weak thin body that had neither muscles nor fat. Yet now after two months of painstaking exercise, training, and with the use of mana, his body looked much better.

It wasn’t too visible but he had a four-pack, and his biceps and triceps were bulging a bit. He didn’t have excessive muscles and he wasn’t still in the best shape he wanted, but he was getting there, now that the foundation was better than before.

Loki was feeling better the more he looked at his body that had improved greatly, and when he circulated his mana, he could feel the slight increase it had from back then. He could only use two spells at the moment, and the duration of usage wasn’t all that great, but it was way better than when he first got here.

The first time he tried using mana he could only use [Enhancement] for a few minutes and he wasn’t even strong enough to knock out a street thug with a punch. Yet now the duration was a few hours, and he could easily take down the thugs he met before without even using [Enhancemnt].

Loki then started moving around in his new suit to see if he could move well enough. As he was moving around someone knocked on his door.

“Big brother, where you the one who-” Alisa who entered the room was momentarily stunned by her older brother who looked like a different person. “Big... Brother?”

“Does it look good on me?” Loki smugly smiled.

“I actually thought you were a different person for a second. It does look good on you big brother. So when did you buy something like this? Who knew that you actually know how to pick your clothes. Seeing your old clothes, I always thought you pick whatever you see first.”

“Well, you know I got to look good for my comeback.” When Loki said those words, Alisa started frowning.

“Big brother, do you still not remember anything about the accident?”

“I can’t, why?”

“Nothing... So are you going to wear a tie?” Alisa approached Loki and looked at him from all angles while teasing him. Due to the commotion the two were making, Liam woke up and entered the room. When he saw his big brother in the suit he was confused at first. Then when Alisa pointed out that the person standing in the suit was Loki, Liam was shocked.

“Whoah, what happened to you? Who knew that the lousy and lame as* big bro could look kinda cool. You did say you were going to the gym. I thought that you were lying, but who knew it was actually true.”

The three siblings started laughing and both Liam and Alisa continued to tease Loki. After a while, the two went out of the room as they needed to prepare for school as well. Loki then checked on Matsuri. The drunk detective was still sleeping with no signs of waking up. Seeing that the three of them were about to eat breakfast and leave, Loki decided to write a note and placed it on the table of the guest room. He wrote everything Matsuri needed to know, like where she was and why she was here.

...

After the siblings were done eating their breakfast, they all headed out. The three of them were heading to the same place. Well, Liam was going to the middle school building that was located across the street, while Loki and Alisa were going to the high school building.

“See you guys later, better not mess up like you always do big bro.” After saying that Liam crossed the street. Loki then looked at the school where he was supposed to be a librarian. Even though he was already standing in front of the school, there weren’t any new memories coming back. Seeing Loki was in a dazed state, Alisa spoke.

“Big brother, are you alright?” Hearing Alisa’s voice Loki woke up from his thoughts.

“Yeah, I’m good, just a little nervous... Well then, let’s go in.”
