Akira's pov:

After the dinner, a servant showed me to a guest room where I was apparently staying until I started duty. That would be for around a year and half from now. It's the craziest thing I've seen or done, living in the home of the fucking Don of your mafia.

I had not recovered from that news when the Don's mother - who is an ex-donna herself might I add - told me that I would be joining a school here too. At that point It wasn't even real anymore. When have you ever seen your boss's mom be worried about your studies? In da fucking Mafia.

During the night I couldn't sleep in this soft-ass bed and big room. So I also ended up waking up super early. So when after lying in the bed for a while I finally checked the time it was still 4:30.

I decided to get up and showered because I hate not being usefull. After showering I realised that I could also get hot water. I am used to taking cold showers because you couldn't get enough hot water at the common bathrooms back at my old base.

After showering I wrap my chest and dry my hair with the towel. I decide to wear my usual cargo jeans with a plain old t shirt. It's not that hard to decide what you want to wear when you own like five clothes in total.



I check the time and it's still just 5:00. So I pick up my bag which contains all of my luggage. I decide to arrange the 2 T-shirts, 1 shirt and 2 pairs of cargo jeans into the big-ass walk in closet. By which I mean just throw that shit on one of the shelves and get out.

I start to sharpen my knives after doing all that work and the time just slips by. Sharpening knives is meditation for me.

I was awoken from the trance that it puts me under with a knock on the door.

I put the knife in my hand into the pocket on the rear waistband of my Cargo as I hide the other blades. And then open the door just enough for the person to see me before they can knock a second time.

"Oh-good morning ma'am. You have been called downstairs for breakfast." A young looking maid says surprised at sudden opening of the door at first.

I nod and shut my door. Breakfast? Am I forgetting something?...ooh yeah a servant came yesterday night...

Fuxk. I forgot that today was supposed to be my first day of 'school'. I am not mentally prepared for that shit. I run my hand through my hair, take a deep breath, properly hide some of my knives in the pockets of my pants and the others around the room. After putting on my black combat boots, I leave my room.

I make my way down silently and notice everybody pretty much ready and eating breakfast. I silently stand on the side waiting for them to notice me and tell me why they've called me. I was standing for at least five minutes before Kai notices me gestures me to come over with a mouth full of food. Why was he calling me? Did he think he had authority over me?that bitch... I, nonetheless, make my way over and the boss's mom notices me and asks incredulously"Akira? Where did yo- where you just standing there?"

I answer in formally"yes ma'am"

She looks shocked and then her eyes soften as she says "don't call me that..call me Diana." And then she adds "you don't stand when everybody's eating, you come and join us. okay?"

I nod plainly while keeping my confusion to me. Why would she want me eat with them? Yesterday was a one time thing, right?

When she sees me still standing there, she says "sit down with Leo and kai "

I go and sit down and she quickly hands me a plate with scrambled eggs and some toast.

What? Wouldn't she want me to do some work for her before she gave me food? I could run away after having food with doing no work..why would she risk that?

Back at my old base there was a fighting ring and bar next to it. I would work at the bar and they would give me food, usually i would work in the morning and night for breakfast and dinner.

Leo and Kai are looking at me confused, I could feel their stares. So, Instead of asking questions, I decide to just quickly gobble up the food. Free food is free food.

I get up after eating , head to the kitchen and start to clean my dishes.

"Do you need anythi- what are you doing ?" I hear the Boss's mo- Diana speak while walking towards me.

She comes to stand beside me and I look at her while answering "I am washing the dishes ma-" and stop myself just in time.

She looks at me a bit sadly. She has loving eyes. I don't like looking at her eyes, it's hard to maintain eye contact with someone so...kind?

She says softly "you don't need to wash them. Alright?"

I nod as I finish with the last of my dishes and dry my hands by rubbing them on my clothes. It feels weird to dry my hands like this when someone is looking at you.

"Akira you'll be joining Leo and Kai's high school. You'll have to give an exam which will be over by lunch and you'll get the results by the end of lunch. It'll decide if you will be a senior or junior." She explains.

"Aren't I supposed to be a junior?" I say with my usual bluntness.

She is still nice enough to reply politely "yes you are. But I think you could easily be a senior too with how smart you are."

Is that supposed to be compliment? Do I say thank you?..it's probably an answer to my question.. I'll just nod my way out of this.

I nod as a gesture that I understood what she said.

"Do you have a bag?" She asks now her voice venturing away from the softness.

I sigh a sigh of relief internally at the talk getting formal again. It's better and easier like this.

I don't have a bag...I will have to buy one... I'll have to find work first...it's better to work late nights, after school and training the juniors , that will be the only time I have. I could also get myself dinner that way.

The thoughts move through my head bullet speed and I reply "No"

"Well I figured, so I got you a bag and it's waiting for you in the living room." She says now sounding quite business like.

"Oh" I say unsure what to answer. She got me a bag? But I don't have the money to pay for it now.. over time at the base? I had breakfast so I could go without dinner for today. Or maybe some work around the house? But I don't know household chores. I know how to do laundry, I'll probably ask her if I can do that, if it comes down to it.

"You can go and see it" she says giving me the permission I didn't know I needed but I did.

I nod and make my way to the living room. There was black bag sitting on one of the couches. I pick it up and wait for Diana to tell me it's price. When she doesn't I speak up "how much does it cost?"



She looks confused when she answers "30$"

I meet her eyes when I say plainly "ma'am I do not have the money to pay for it right now but I can work for it"

Her eyes are soft again-oh god I can't even look directly at her now- when she answers "you don't have to. It's a..basic commodity that I provide for you" she tries to sound colder than she actually does.

I bow my head a little, I know 'thank you' is the right thing to say but with her looking so kindly at me it just feels too intimate.

So I detach myself from all and every feeling and say "thank you ma'am"

She nods and heads back to the kitchen where The boss and Eiran have now come to have breakfast. I quietly slip out.

After a while..

I stand at the main door while Leo, Kai and Eiran do some last minute things before leaving. I was told that Eiran would drop us off but a personal chauffeur would be sent to pick us up because Eiran would be at work then.

"Bye mom" Leo says walking towards the door and me "Bye mom" Kai repeats while following Leo

"Bye boys" Diana shouts from one of the rooms

Now both the twins are standing next to me waiting for Eiran. "Eiran come on bro you're gonna make us late" Leo says groaning

"Are you going to be a junior or a senior?" Kai asks from beside me.

"I'll give an exam and they'll tell me." I say shortly.

"Oh right-" kai says and is immediately cutoff from his energetic brother

"Akira what's your age?" Leo asks

"16" I answer.

"Ok so guns or knives?" Leo asks, eager to get to know me.

"Knives" I reply without much emotion

"Same" Leo smiles while offering me his fist. I stare at him before carefully touching my fist to his.

"You don't understand the value of guns. And besides Leo it's only because you aren't as good at shooting as me"kai says smirking

And that's when they both start bickering. However, they are stopped when Eiran comes and shuts them up. We all follow Eiran towards a black BMW. "Dude you're obsessed-" kai says Eiran.

But before Kai could finish, Leo shouts "I call shotgun!" And runs to the passenger seat of the car while kai looks visibly grumpy.

Everybody gets inside the car and we leave the mansion. Halfway through the ride Leo turns around in a panic and asks kai "have you studied for that history test?"

"Of course I have" Kai says while on his phone.

"Bro you gotta help me"

"Don't you wanna go the ring?"

"Dude just learn to lie better for god's sake" Leo says exasperated

"Maybe you learn to actually study and not depend on me to literally pass the whole semester" kai snaps back

And then the bickering starts which only ceases when we reach the school. I have to gone to a few schools undercover but damn this is the biggest one I've seen. It's the kinda school which only the richest of the rich go to.



We three step out and Eiran drives away after wishing us a good day.

"We should take her to the examination room first before heading to our classes" Kai says to Leo who replies with an "alright"

So with that they guide me through the maize that their school is and show me to the examination room. They also show me the cafeteria on the way.

"After you're done with the exam meet us in the cafeteria" Leo says before I enter room

"Good luck" kai says to me

I nod as reply to both of them and enter the room.

Time skip

The exam began exactly at 9 and ended at 12. It was easy enough for me to finish by 10:30 and sleep my way through the rest of the time. After the clock hit 12, a young woman came up to me and told me that I would get my result after lunch to which I nodded and left the room.

The school is big enough that I don't think any one person could have explored this whole place. Anyways, making your way through dumb teenagers who have no concept of walking properly is hell. I make my way towards the cafeteria, that's where everybody was headed anyways.

After entering cafeteria, I could clearly see how the place was subconsciously divided between the rich and the ultra mega rich. I notice people standing in line for food. I don't have money and I had breakfast today, I can handle.

Leo and Kai are sitting on table for the ultra mega rich which is fitting. Kai notices me first and waves to me to come over. I make my way over to their table.

By the time I make it to their table, Leo notices me as well and says rather loudly "hey Akira! We're here, come sit with us"

I go and sit beside Leo and Kai. There are two boys who are sitting with them opposite to me.

"How'd your exam go?" Kai asks over Leo talking with his friends while leaning back to look at me.

"It was easy" I answer plainly.

Leo suddenly turns his head towards me and asks excitedly "do you think you'll be a junior or a senior?"

I stare at him "I don't know"

Suddenly kai speaks up from behind him "where's your food Akira?"

I can feel the two boys sitting opposite to us become confused. I answer detaching myself of feelings "I'm not hungry"

"I could go and get you food if it's that?" Leo offers

"No" I say coldly

"Hey are you sure?" Kai speaks up

I nod and wish they would take their attention off of me. Why do they care of I eat or not? It's just dumb. I sit with my arms crossed and leaning back in my chair when a girl approaches the table.

"Hey Leo~" she says in a sing-songy voice.

She had light brown hair which she was wearing in a ponytail. Ponytail would be the easiest target, just grab it and she's gone. She had that high pitched voice which makes you wanna punch her.

"Go away Sarah" Leo says annoyed.

"Why- oh you got a new girl?" She says in venomous voice.

I stare at her coldly, not saying anything. I have control. She won't make me punch her. I won't punch her. Don't punch her.

Leo smirks "what if I have?"

She leans in close and says in a deathly low voice "Leo you are mine and will always be mine. I will carve that it into your skin if that's what it takes to remind you of that." With that she stands up straight and adds as an after thought "that bitch won't be here much longer, so you better learn your lesson with only person dead."

Kai speaks up coldly "Sarah back the fuck up."

I saw red. I didn't even notice that kai was speaking when I pushed her back and landed a punch on her fake nose...
