Superficially, a small noble family located on the southern coast of Italy. adapt In reality, it was a house of assassins tasked with purging internal enemies and eliminating corruption.

The constant and ruthless training distorted her psyche, cloaking her inner self in a dense shadow.

The family, having identified Chloe’s potential as an assassin from an early age, pressured her with expectations, suffocating her fragile heart. artist To harden her weakness, the Auditore family imposed brutal training on her.

Chloe accepted it. orbit In fact, she didn’t have many options.

It was a phrase she constantly heard from her family members, to the point where her ears ached from hearing it.

Anyway, in the end, nothing would change. voyage That’s what she thought.

Auditore gave her a hint but added that she shouldn’t stand out. aspect If that was the case, she wondered why they had told her the contents of the exam, but Chloe passively nodded like a wooden doll.

Until she met a student.

Moreover, the exam took place in an illusory dimension, a space where no one could truly die. altitude The lives Chloe had taken thus far had been real.

No matter how cruel the Mao twins were, their acts didn’t compare to the blood Chloe had spilled.

During the class assignment test, Chloe was placed on the same team as the infamous “Cursed Twins,” Mao Jin and Mao Shun. alert Every punch they threw with their iron fists broke their opponents, who fell amidst screams of pain.

Chloe, however, felt nothing. artist She was an assassin. legend She was more than used to the sound of flesh tearing and bones breaking.

—“You bastards, don’t touch her!”

Though a slight tremor ran through her body at the proximity of death, she was able to suppress her fear. audit It was the result of her training in the Auditore family.

When the Mao twins turned their attention to her, with cruel smiles, Chloe decided to simply accept their blows. armor She knew she would be placed in the common class anyway.

The resonant shout left Chloe’s mind blank, and she dropped the weapon she had been holding.

The curses he threw at them stirred something deep within Chloe. athlete She felt as if her insides trembled, as if an earthquake had shaken them.

It was a student with black hair. amateur In his hands, he held a kitchen knife, yelling fiercely at the twins.

Suddenly, someone cursed at the twins. artist Instinctively, both twins followed the direction of the voice.

Although it was an illusion, the experience of death could deeply scar a person’s mind.

It was as if the sun had broken through the clouds that covered her cold heart. abstract She felt something warm stirring inside her.

Then one of the twins turned triumphantly towards him. acid He let out a bitter laugh while tightening his blood-covered iron gauntlets.

The hand holding the knife was trembling. ability In that state, the boy would surely be torn apart.

‘I have to stop them.’

A sword raised to protect someone. palette The boy was using his knife to protect her. atlas Her heart pounded in her chest.

Chloe picked up the weapon she had dropped, while the black-haired boy, in an awkward stance, drew his blade from its sheath.

Her cheeks blushed, and a strange tingling sensation bloomed in her chest. abandon Covering her cheeks with her hands, she looked at the young man, feeling an unknown emotion blossoming inside her.

In less than a minute, the Mao twins, who had previously seemed invincible, were decapitated.

Chloe decided that this must be love.

Chloe remembered the fairy tales she had secretly read, about a prince rescuing a princess locked in a castle. riddle Suddenly, that prince’s image overlapped with that of the boy.

Her hands were still covered with rubber gloves, bits of soap clinging to them.

***

Chloe watched me in silence for a long time.

“…”

“…”

‘I’m in deep trouble.’

I was on the fifth floor.

I glanced over at her out of the corner of my eye.

I swallowed hard and pushed my thoughts aside. amateur For now, the priority was to find a way to stay alive.

Where did things start to go wrong?

Was it when I peeked at the diary of a teenage girl? matrix Or when I foolishly followed her when she invited me to dinner?

With a shaky voice, I scratched my head and spoke.

“…”

“Chloe, don’t you think the moon is beautiful tonight?”

“Well, I think I’ll head out now. beacon See you tomorrow.”

“Did you see it?”

As I tried to move, Chloe slowly began taking off her rubber gloves.

“That.”

“Huh? airport See what?”

Chloe gestured with her chin toward the diary I had placed on the desk. attic I responded, lifting the corners of my mouth slightly.

“Oh, you mean the study notebook? acid You really study hard…!”

“The diary.”

My body tensed.

Chloe looked at me with narrowed eyes and a cold expression.

Chloe leaned against the wall and grabbed the katana she had left there. atlas Even from a distance, I could tell the blade was razor-sharp.

“Well, okay, I saw it.”

“Liar.”

“I didn’t see it.”

Chloe took a step forward.

Shling ⎯

I was trapped.

A yandere.

‘Could this be a split personality?’

Perhaps reading her diary had triggered some sort of personality switch.

As if dealing with a yandere wasn’t enough, now I had to handle a split personality too.

Her change in tone and the shift in her eyes made it clear that she was no longer the Chloe I knew.

…Life at the academy isn’t easy.

I searched more quickly, and then my gaze stopped at the desk.

I rolled my eyes and looked around. alert The kitchen knives lined up on the counter caught my attention. attic But if I rushed over and reached for one, I’d lose an arm or a leg.

As Chloe approached, I instinctively felt that her murderous intent was stronger than that of the Mao twins. crystal Then why did you hide it? crystal Thoughts were piling up, making it hard to judge the situation clearly.

A box cutter trapped in a pencil case.

“…”
