《Hidden》Chapter 1: hidden in Plain sight
Advertisement
If one was to ask the girls classmates what they thought of her most of them would say she was quiet with no real prescence. However it was this lack of presence that helped the girl in many different ways, especially in her line of work.
The girl was not the world's best fighter, nor was she the world's best killer she was however the world's best assassin. Due to her complete lack of prescence she was easily able to get close to any target and kill them effortlessly, afterall an assassins job wasn't to fight but rather to kill cleanly with one swipe and then to leave unnoticed, which was precisely what the girl had always done.
Of course none of this was known to her classmates, to them she was just the quiet girl in the corner of the classroom. No one saw through her disguise and no one ever would, unless of course she wanted them to, not that she ever would.
And so it was on a perfectly normal day that the girl as usual sat down at the back of the classroom passively listening to the mundane conversations of her classmates when all of a sudden a giant circle illuminating the floor appeared.
"What's going on?!?" screamed a majority of the class while the girl just sat at the back of the room quiet as ever trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, nothing she could do would change anything anyway so why bother doing anything at all?
Those were the girls last thoughts as the circle let out a glaringly blinding light and she found herself on the floor of what looked to be a great hall. Looking around she saw all her classmates on the floor with her inside the lingering lines of the glowing circle.

Surrounding the circle were twelve old men in white robes carrying staffs, all of whom were sweating profusely. "Welcome sacraf..I mean heroes, we welcome you to this world." said a large man dressed in lavish jewels who was standing behind the circle of old men "My name is Duke Alter and it is my pleasure to welcome you the heroes to our world."
The girl stood hiding at the back of the students to avoid standing out and had a small frown on her face, this didn't sound promising. The Duke continued to talk "now I'm sure you all have a lot if questions so if you follow me to the throne room the king will explain everything."
Slowly and without much protest the assembled students followed the Duke towards the throne room. Upon entering the room immediate focus was drawn to the large and smiling man at the front of the room sitting on a golden throne "welcome heroes, my name is King Aeon and I have summoned you to this world to beg for your aid in defeating the demon king."
The king sighed "I am sorry I stole you from your original world, but I am a selfish king who couldn't bare to see his people suffer even at the cost of involving innocent bystanders. So please if you must hate someone hate me and please help me to defend my people." as he said this tears appeared from the corner of the Kings eyes as he looked at the students as if begging for forgiveness.
Will, the most popular boy in the class took a step forward and bowed lightly "I may not be of much help but I will aid you in defeating the demon." the king smiled "thank you, thank your so much." Slowly one by one the rest of the class stood forward and pledged their aid, no one noticed that amongst the students there was one small girl who had said nothing, but then again that was exactly what she wanted.

Following one of the soldiers the students were led out of the hall, the girl hidden amongst the other students snorted in her mind "idiots don't believe anyone just because they have a sob story to back it up Iv seen those eyes before, those are clearly the eyes of a politician you've just been played and you don't even know it."
sighing the girl decided for now the best thing to do would just be to remain hidden in Plain sight until she had enough information to leave. Afterall if there were politicians in this world there would definitely be assassins, that was one thing she had learned from all her years as an assassin smiling the girl continued to hide within the group.
