Tiger was at his house, getting ready to go to the Assassin Headquarters. He wore his assassin outfit quietly.
After a while, he left his building and started walking toward the headquarters.
As he walked along the roadside, he muttered,
"I still don't understand how she gave me that code… Did she enter the school without anyone noticing? Whatever…"
After walking for some time, Tiger finally reached the Assassin Headquarters.
He stood in front of the gate and knocked.
After waiting for a moment, the door opened.
It was Rigarta.
She stepped aside, letting him in.
"You came earlier," Anyway She's just about to arrive; She said calmly. Come inside."
Tiger walked in and asked,
"Who's coming?"
Rigarta replied simply,
"Simply put, our boss,"
She led Tiger into the main control room.
Inside, everything looked advanced and controlled by systems. Rigarta opened the door, and both of them entered.
Tiger looked around and asked,
"So... what's the plan now?"
"Now, we wait a bit for her to arrive," Rigarta answered,
She began operating the control system.
Tiger asked,
"What are you doing? Don't we have a mission today?"
Rigarta replied,
"No. That's why I called you here."
Tiger nodded.
"I see… I didn't have anything to do this evening anyway."
At that moment, the Boss entered the room.
"Oh, you already called Tiger," she said.
Rigarta replied in the same calm tone,
"Yes."
The Boss walked in and sat on her chair.
Then she looked at Tiger.
"So, what have you been doing all these days when you weren't here?"
Tiger started to answer,
"I was just—"
But the Boss interrupted him.
"Forget that. Let's prepare for the next mission."
She stood up and walked beside Rigarta, starting to operate the control system.
"Look."
Tiger stepped closer. Rigarta also focused.
The Boss moved her hand across the system, and suddenly, a blue hologram appeared.
It showed the image of a man with a beard.
Tiger asked directly,
"Are we supposed to kill him too?"
The Boss replied,
"No… I won't tell you about him yet."
She turned off the display and went back to her chair.
Tiger looked at Rigarta.
"Do you know anything about this?"
Rigarta shook her head.
"No."
The Boss spoke again,
"I can't tell you everything right now. I've been ordered not to."
She paused.
"All I can say is… next week, we have to meet him."
Rigarta whispered,
"Meet him… without him knowing?"
The Boss stood up again.
"Exactly. But now is not the right time to explain."
She looked at them both.
"You can leave."
Rigarta nodded.
Both Tiger and Rigarta walked toward the gate.
Tiger said,
"So… I was called here just for this?"
Rigarta replied,
"This information is important. It may help us later."
She opened the gate, and they both stepped outside.
After closing it, they started walking along the footpath.
Tiger said,
"I've already joined… but it still feels strange."
Rigarta looked at him.
"Strange? Why?"
Tiger replied,
"Everything happened too fast… I don't even know what to say."
Then he stopped himself.
"Forget it."
Rigarta said,
"I'll go from here. Your place is farther ahead."
Tiger nodded.
"Yeah."
They separated.
Tiger walked back to his apartment.
By the time he reached, it was already night.
He changed into normal clothes, lay down on his bed, and soon fell asleep.
