Hitman x Wives

Chapter 71- Consequences

The two girls stared daggers at each other. Neither of them moved first as they tried to assess each other. Both knew that the other was extremely strong and a fight like this no matter what outcome it will have, will end up dealing heavy damage to both parties.

In any case, Eva and Kaya weren't intending to back down as they unleashed their auras. The ground and walls started shaking and cracks bloomed in the whole place.

Since no one could sense this huge amount of Origin power being emitted, the outside was still as calm as ever.

However, that didn't mean that someone didn't sense this. A certain cat Mascot felt his senses tingling and his eyes turned to look at the school's building.

'What in the hell… is happening there?' He thought as he squinted his eyes before he realized the situation. The sheer bloodlust coming out of the two people was strong enough to alert him.

'Dammit, I forgot those two don't get along. But, why are they about to fight? Do they want to destroy this whole place?' He thought as he ran inside the school. He couldn't use his highest speed since many people were looking.

So, with no other choice, he unleashed his aura and aimed it directly at the women's bathroom.

On the other side, as Eva and Kaya were about to clash, the two felt their bodies being smashed against the ground. The pressure was so crushing that neither of them could've anticipated it nor reacted to it on time.

*Drop*

The two women dropped to their knees. Kaya's eyes widened from pure shock. She had never in her life felt such suffocating pressure in her life. It was as if she was being strangled alive.

'W-Where is this coming from?' She tried to resist it, only to be met with even more pressure.

On the other hand, Eva was also surprised but to a lesser degree as she recognized that aura. Her face tensed up as she felt two piercing eyes staring directly at her from outside the school building.

Although he said nothing nor could she hear him from this far, she still understood what he wanted to say.

'What the hell is going on there?' His eyes said.

"L-Let's stop." Sighing, she finally stood up and said.

The pressure was starting to subside and Kaya also was able to stand up. Her eyes, however, didn't linger on Eva for long before she vanished.

'Curse it all! She's going toward Kai!' Eva thought as she followed after Kaya at top speed. If the latter were to find Kai, his identity might be revealed.

The two raced through the corridors, passing beside people without them noticing except after they long moved away. A strong gush of air followed after, blowing every unlucky person to be in its path.

'This person… Who is he? Such strength wouldn't come out of anyone. He is strong… extremely so.' Kaya thought as she looked outside, searching for anything. The aura had just vanished like it was never there.

'Tsk, I'm losing his trace… Wait…' Suddenly, Kaya remembered the words Elu said to her a while ago.

It concerned the matter of a certain person being sighted in D-Country. That person is none other than the Black Phantom. Realizing that this aura could potentially belong to that legendary figure, Kaya's senses heightened.

She must find him!

So, with that in mind, she accelerated even more until she reached the outside. The place was now filled with people to the brim which made it even harder to locate a person in the middle of this swarm of humans.

"Dammit…" Cursing her luck, Kaya stood there looking around silently.

"You, where do you think you're going? You almost blew your cover!" Eva said.

Kaya turned around and looked at Eva.

"Who is he?"

"Huh?"

"I'm talking about the owner of that aura we felt inside the bathroom. Who is he?"

"Why would I know?" Eva replied swiftly, feigning ignorance. Her acting was impeccable.

"I'm certain you know because I saw the realization in your eyes. You do know his identity." Kaya argued.

"What the hell are you spouting? I also don't know who this person is so I came rushing outside to check."

Kaya's eyes squinted before she approached Eva and said.

"Fine, you're lucky I don't have enough evidence to make a move. But, if I discover that you're hiding him then I will make sure you regret that."

"Him?" Eva's face turned confused.

"I'm talking about the Black Phantom. I know he is here and he's hiding somewhere."

After saying that, Kaya walked away, her eyes wandering around the place. Eva stood there, shocked.

'She knows? Where did she know that from? Did someone discover Kai's identity? No, she doesn't seem to have realized it yet. So she simply knows that the Black Phantom is in this city and in this very school.'

Eva felt like a huge headache had assaulted her head. So, she walked away from the masses and took a turn around the main building. At that moment, a hand grabbed her and pulled her in before she could even react.

Eva found herself pushed against the wall as a tall figure loomed over her. At first, Eva was alerted but when she sensed who it was, her body instantly relaxed and her tense expression loosened up.

It was none other than Kai, still in his Nyan cat mascot.

"K-Kai…" She said as she looked at him. His aura was colder than usual, a sign that he was angry.

"Were you intending to destroy the school?" He asked coldly.

"I'm sorry…"

"Tsk, I should've never allowed you two to meet." He murmured as he took a peek to see if Kaya was coming toward them or not.

"What is the reason for this?"

"S-She provoked me and I tried to not get angry but I couldn't do it in the end." Eva looked down.

"... Sigh." Shaking his head, Kai got rid of the mask and he revealed his face to Eva. His hair was messy from being under the mask for a long time. However, that messiness added a layer of seductiveness to his face that was now more apparent than usual.

Eva found herself completely lost in his eyes without realizing it. It was as if every time he looked at her, he cast a magic spell on her that kept her eyes fixated on him and only him.

"You shouldn't be easily provoked by such things. Remember that if the public knew about your powers, you will be in trouble." Kai said.

Kai's words were mysterious but Eva understood their meaning completely. In society, the existence of Origin users was akin to a myth or a conspiracy theory. The general public didn't acknowledge their existence nor did any government do.

The reason for that was the Origin users' unbelievably small number compared to the normal humans. According to statistics, of every 500 thousand people, one person with the talent to use Origin is born.

So, for that reason, every Origin user is heavily monitored from the moment they were born so that their identities remain a secret. The world's governments, the hitman, and Divinity all had that unspoken rule to keep the identity of Origin users under cover so that they can avoid the chaos of this information being released to the public.

It's akin to people realizing that aliens were living amongst them. It would make people freak out.

All it needed was a small mistake by an Origin user and the world will never be the same ever again. That's how fragile this layer of mystery was.

'Sigh, I'm such a dumbass. Whenever it's something related to Kai, I lose my very mind.' Rubbing the back of her head, Eva felt a vibration in her pocket coming from her phone.

She picked it up and saw that it was her father speaking so she answered.

"Hello, father…" She said then went silent as if she was listening to something odd.

However, a few seconds later, Eva's eyes widened to the extreme. This made Kai who was keeping an eye on Kaya turn and look at her. He had sensed the huge disturbance in Eva's emotions at that moment.

He immediately understood that something bad happened… Something really bad.
