Run!

An hour away from Daiki’s birthday and the most obscured thing had happened before him.

A strange man pointed his fingers at Daiki's head, shaped like a gun.

“Target acquired… I can't believe they told me to be wary of a kid. Tch my employers can be so annoying at times.”

The man's phone rang and he picked it up. “Hello? Huh? I'm in the middle of something here, talk later.”

The slight moment of distraction was more than enough for Daiki as he poured the hot cocoa on the man's face and kicked his hand up.

The assassin screamed hot cocoa splashing across his face and burning him. He released a shot from his fingers into the ceiling.

The shot shook Daiki to his core, but he forced himself back up and ran out of the house.

“What the hell was that! That boy just pissed me off right now, I'm going to enjoy killing him.” The assassin said as anger flashed in his bright red eyes.

Daiki ran through his street and turned his head towards all directions looking for a way out.

“Who was that freak? I can't die like this, minutes before my birthday. That freak said something that confused me.

Holder of the mystic eye? Huh does he mean this hunk of junk protection amulet my mother gave me? I don't believe so… But could it?”

As Daiki ran into a store he immediately went towards the back section, looking through snacks as if he would buy them.

He went through the contacts on his phone and called his mother. The phone rang but sadly it didn't go through.

‘Mom! Where could you be right now?’ He thought to himself.

After two more unsuccessful tries he called the next best thing, the police.

“Hello police?”

“Yes citizens, what could be the problem?”

“A mad man broke into my house and is trying to kill me. I need your help.”“Okay we will be on the way, where is your exact location now?”

As Daiki was about to answer,the assassin entered the store and looked at the smiling face of the cashier. He responded with a warm smile before shooting her in the head with his finger gun.

“Worthless Dud.”

Daiki's heart raced faster than before, seeing the blood from the woman dripping from the wall down to the floor and the deadly magic the assassin showed.

“Now boy! Where are you? I know you are in here, just come out and make this all easy for me!”

Daiki told the police of his exact location and hoped for them to come as soon as possible.

The man slowly walked through each section of the store. Stalking Daiki like a prey, he did so with a sharp grin on his face.

“Come out, come out wherever you are.”

Daiki clutched the amulet close to his chest praying upon it for protection.
‘Oh weird looking eye please save me today, I need you to save me’. He kept on repeating those words in his head.

The assassin was slowly approaching him. As he got close the eye shone brightly and partially blinded him.

“Shit! What is this now.”

Daiki was taken aback by what had just happened and kicked the man in the balls while running away once more.

The assassin's green magical mana burst out of him as it destroyed the store. Daiki heard the explosion, turned around for a quick look gazing upon the destructive force of the man after his life.

“The power of magic huh?”

He kept on running forward.

Minutes later, flashing sirens pierced the night . As the police arrived at the scene, they saw the assassin muttering to himself as he stood in the center of the destroyed store.

“This should have been easy. Why is it taking this long? I will kill that kid with pleasure. No more Mr. Nice guy.”
One of the police men walked up to him “Hello sir, if i may ask… Did you destroy this store?”

The soulless eyes of the man pierced straight into the police man. “Huh? Is a Dud questioning me?”

“I have heard enough, you are under arrest for-”

Immediately the policeman's body was shot with a magic bullet,the three remaining police men saw what happened and brought out guns but it was to no avail.

The assassin wasted no time in shooting their bodies with his magical finger bullets.

“Now… Time to finish the job.”

Daiki ran into a construction site, hoping to wait the assassin out till morning.

“This should be good enough.” He checked his phone and saw that it was 15 minutes till his birthday. “Wow, what a birthday this is going to be.”

“Found ya! Mystic Eye holder!”
Daiki's heart dropped as he turned around and saw the assassin with his green mana approaching him.

“It ends now!”

He charged straight at Daiki and Snap!

Back at the Keita residence, Daiki's mother got home from a tiring day at work. She was ready to celebrate her son's sixteenth birthday until she saw her front door was broken.

She ran screaming Daiki's name but he wasn't around. After looking through her phone she saw the missed calls.

“Oh no. Where could Daiki be? I need to find him before… He hurts somebody.”

At the construction site, blood was dripping on the floor.

“What the hell are you… I thought you were a dud with a relic you didn't understand but what is this.” The assassin said with scratches all over his face and body.

Daiki was floating over him with a yellowish blue magical mana emanating from his body, as he looked at the pitiful man with soulless eyes.

“This is way above my pay grade,guess I would… Ha.”

He threw a magic bomb at Daiki but it didn't lay a scratch on him.

A fist came straight to the man's face, flying him straight back into a concrete wall. Daiki stood above him landing several punches and kicks to him.

A minute later he snapped out of it and saw himself on top of the bloodied assassin.

“Wait, what did I just do?”
