Few days after that event, Kenshin's first mission was postponed as he was trying to recovered.
In those days, kenshi trained and the doctors examined him if he was fully covered.
The fact that the curse weapon cause a commotion and almost kenshin got killed.
The research development tried everything the can to examined the gun. But everytime the research take it from kenshi. The gun just keep teleporting as if it's didn't like to be touched by someone else.
Moreover, if someone succeed. The gun retaliate causing the one who touched it turned into a madman and wreak havocs the research facility.
This made takumi to have a headache in that gun. He knew that anyone who touch it except the people with high mentally will make the holder to go insane.
But after that event, even the high mental fortified person. Was also become a madman forcing himself to subdue it.
While everyone tries to figuring out what to do. Kenshi himself become surprised to himself.
The mana he release turns black including his magic, like his fire ball turned into black fire ball. Although he tried to test it. The attack power was still the same.
He tried to figuring out on what is the reason why his skills turned black but the results was nothing.
As he tried many experiments. He decided to give it up since nothing changed except the colors of his magic turned black.
...
Few more days, kenshi was full recovered. Tanaka was casually trained himself with his brother's guidance.
Bam!
When the skill he was trying to perfect. It exploded in his hand. This made kenshi to chuckles and said.
"Don't force the mana in your palm, just guild the mana into your palm."
At his advice, instead of listening to what kenshi said. He got grumble and said.
"I know brother."
As he was about to try again. One of Shinobi spoke.
"Young master, you're father wants to see you."
Once he acknowledged it. The Shinobi nodded and vanish.
"Sorry Tanaka, I have to go."
Upon saying this, Tanaka nodded and when to his father's quarters.
When he entered, he saw his father waiting for him and said.
"Am here father."
With a nodded from his father, he took a scroll in the drawer and said.
"This is your Mission, it contained every information you need including the targets."
Once he nodded, he continued.
"Son, I know that you tried your best and prepared to this day. But I hope you returned in one piece."
"Yes father."
As he bowed. Kenshi left the quarters. Leaving his father alone inside the quarters.
Inside his room. He read the information about the target, his strength, weakness, habit and many more.
Although he read it quietly. He wasn't alone inside his room.
"Oh? This man was interesting."
On top of him or rather, the one that floats in the air was one other but the spirit of the desert eagle piston.
He called her shell.
One of the 13th curse weapon made by the mad grand master black smith "Winston". And right now, she was his partner for life.
Although the desert eagle piston wasn't in him. Shell can freely showed up itself to kenshi without a problem.
In fact, if one person saw her. They just scream and said "they saw a ghost." Of course, shell didn't care about the people who pointed at her. Since many people just called them insane.
Kenshi who already accustomed to shell just gave up. As he knew that she won't hurt him.
"By the way, when are we leaving?"
At her innocent question. Kenshi said.
"Tomorrow shell."
"Boo~ I want to go and look at the outside world looks like."
As she pouted like a child, kenshi replied.
"Then why don't you just go? Am sure will be more fun that hanging out with me?"
"Oh dear, don't be like that, if I go outside alone. It will be boring since there is no enemies to kill, also, why would I go when I am with you."
When she hug him like a little girl. Kenshi rub his temples causing shell to giggle.
Kenshi look at his target and coldly said.
"I never expecting to assassinate him."
Kenshi look at the picture of Gomez.
He was a Mafia boss who was infamous of drug trafficking. Although he looks weak. Kenshi never estimate his targets.
Upon studying. He check his gear while shell read the document.
"Hey kenshi, do we have to kill this guy. He looks weak."
At shell's bored tone. Kenshi smirk and said.
"Emma, this is the tradition of my family. We Shinobi must kill his first target to increase his rank. Besides, Gomez has his private army in his disposal.
Surely you will be having a good time when I used you to kill someone."
"Yeah, I know that but, it's boring if you killed just a worthless people like him."
"I know, but trust me. Once we finished this man. We can finally choose the target we want."
Once kenshi finish speak. Shell smiled as she knew that what kenshi said was true.
.....
In few more days, kenshi was kneeling in the altar of gods. Each Shinobi in their family must choose who they take their oath.
They believed in the superstitious of the family saying, if you swore your oath to one of the gods, he shall guide you thru safety and truth.
Those are the words that his family pass down. And kenshi kneel to one of the god, which is the god of judgement.
"I, kenshi will kill the sinners and not for the innocent. If I somehow killed one innocent, then I shall swear that I won't do it again.
I'll make this wrong choice as my guidance for the right, and if I continued to do so without learning. Then shall my soul be judged by you."
Once he finished this oath, the candle flicker and clap at the statue.
After he did all the ceremony, he put the mask of the dire wolf as he was no longer kenshi. But he is death. The contract killer with a honor in his chest.
