Trial 2| 3-4 - Assassination Class:

Akito Miku made his way towards the second trial venue to take on the most difficult of classes. During his training as well as learning more from the actual academy there were a few things that he had understood from the start, there were things he had talent for, and there were things he could not do no matter how hard he tried. However in the end he could never ever give up, no matter what his task was he could not let Airi down as he prepared himself, he was provided with a special kunai and an assortment of basic shinobi clothing that included a shorts, a shirt, a basic mask, some basic soft shoes and a matching scarf along with a kunai that he had to take good care of.

He scoped out the building as he was told that the proctors would be acting as normal guards and that he had to either take out the target before they could signal the alarm, or go home. It was now or never as he began to make his way towards the three story building, his cat-like ears twitching as he listened for anything that could help him along in this mission. When he finally got nearer to the building he could hear movement, since it was within his hearing range that meant they were at the very least on the second floor. While it might seem crazy the floor was low enough for a close means to escape, while at the same time high enough for the signal beacon to be easily sent out. He stuck to the walls of the building listening carefully as he took the most silent of steps and conditioned his breathing for silence as his tail carefully moved to allow him not to have to worry about noise at this point.

He carefully listened to his heart as he kept close to the walls, he was listening as the proctors began to speak he could not clearly hear what they were saying, but he had to make a plan. The best escape would be to simply break out of the windows, however a VIP would never do that since they would either be normal people or in some cases a shinobi of good ability would not even require guards in the first place. Then he remembered there were people who guarded the Kage, even though he was on a level unreachable he had to sleep sometime. He decided to enter the building silently through the main entrance, it was nerve wrecking as he got in he began to explore carefully and with extreme caution as he let his ears listen out for any movement as he blinked a few times, he kept moving until he realized he was beneath them directly now as he could get a mild scent from them as he sniffed upwards. There were around three, to four, as he took his time to take in the smells there was also a fifth. He began to meditate there to determine their locations since they seemed to just be relaxing there as if he was no threat to them at all.

The basics of the shinobi required them to hide their presence, without a technique he had to make sure to maintain a steady breathing while not releasing unwanted sounds. He could hear them breathing from this distance, however his level of hearing was rather special. He may not seem like a normal shinobi anymore, some may even call him a freak of nature or a stupid cat. In the end his ears were a tool as well as his tail and he had to make the best of what he had at his disposal. He noticed the distances and realized that if he reached that floor he could probably make a dash for it, but that would provide them with too much time to react. If the center was the main target his plan would differ, comparing to if it was any of the five.

Determining that there were only five the first tactic of dashing towards them as fast as he could would be met with a simple defensive tactic, using anywhere from two to three of the guards to block him from reaching the target, while the forth one could not only make for the escape by carrying the target away, they could also prepare for signalling. While plausible, he would be racing against the clock and considering even being faster would mean nothing if they made it out of the building before he reached them, or if the signal went out as he decided to scrap that idea.

He reformed his plan as he decided that thinking about the number of exits and the distance to the signal was rather pointless, it was clear either option would be easily attained by his targets as long as they ignored the convention of regular escape out of the exits. Windows were near by and they were probably rather alert as well so his window of opportunity would require him to by more time as he silently escaped from the building to regroup after exploring the first floor for a bit. He carefully snuck outside into the bushes and began to observe the second floor, he was hidden as he could finally make out their appearances.

His earlier assumption was thrown out the window, the one closest to the window had a rather special outfit on, while the one in the center had an ordinary appearance as far as he could make out from the distance, matching the others it meant his target was on a corner near to the window. If he had chosen the option to dash on the second floor, the guard furthest from him would dash up towards the top floor to signal the alarm, the other two closest to his entrance would come up and block him more then likely, while the last guard could simply break the glass and jump down while carrying the VIP in order to make a quick escape, it was clear the alarm was not the main concern anymore as the speed with which they could break out of the window was a major problem as he began thinking through the situation more carefully. He also began to wonder if doing this would make him a bad person as he was not a big fan of killing, and even if it is a trial the concept of what he was doing was the art of skillfully killing a specific person of importance.

He took a short while to formulate more plans as he kept a close eye on them.

Akito Miku finally made up his mind as he knew it was reckless, but having been to the hospital so many times he believed in the medical staff of Konoha as he snuck towards the building again keeping track of his targets as they were probably getting bored waiting as they began to wonder when he would appear before them. Miku knew that there was only one way to complete the mission, finish it in a single strike as well as not allowing them time to move the VIP at all as he positioned himself making sure to keep track of their locations as he then prepared himself from down below on the outside of the building. He took a deep breathe and began to focus the chakra a meter behind him facing at an angle from the ground as he thought to himself. High speed assault was the only way as he also prepared his windy step technique as well, then for insurance also focused the normal supernatural walking practice. The gust of wind built up behind him then like a silent rocket shooting into the air, as he flew through the air at an unforeseen angle as he crashed through the window the guards and the VIP were in shock as he used his super natural walking practice to use the ceiling as a foothold as he dashed downwards at speeds far higher then would be expected. His windy step technique was his main technique as they could react, but they were no match for the speed gap as he tackled the main target tagging him with the special kunai blade as the splatter looked really cool as the guys thought to themselves in that moment, what had happened as well as one slowly whimpering out the words.

"dynamic entry?"

He was showing off though, his arm was paining a bit as well as him having glass in his hair as it was a bit reckless, had he not been training he could have never used this plan. He had decided to take the escape route away, by turning into his main entrance. He compounded high speed techniques since he was only required to mark the target with the designated blade it would be pointless using any offensive techniques as he smiled at the proctors who were a bit in shock before saying.

"This was fun" as he looked at them the proctor finally spoke. "You pass..." as he then made his escape and went on to the third and final trial. However he got stopped by medical shinobi along the way before taking part in his final trial.
