Chapter 25: Going back to the Slums
A few days later,
Bang! Bang! Bang!
'I've fired more than a thousand times at this thing, but my proficiency is still at 60%' Jin thought to himself.
He was currently using his 'Training' ability.
Now that he had a gun he was able to enter the mental shooting range which he was unable to earlier. (A/N: was last mentioned in chapter 2...even I almost forgot about this one xD)
There wasn't much to see in this place. It was just a shooting range and the target was in the shape of a man with several points marked around his body.
Jin could adjust the distance as per his liking and the best thing about the place was that Jin had an infinite amount of ammo.
At first, Jin was quite happy and started shooting at the targets one after another but soon realized that after an hour and a half of doing so, he became mentally exhausted.
When he exited the mental space drowsiness attacked him and he immediately went to sleep.
Now that he had become somewhat used to the place he had managed to increase his time to 2 hours. After being done with his practice Jin finally called it a day and went to sleep.
The next day as per his routine he exercised and practised his skills in the morning and then went to work.
While he was on his way to school the thing he had been anticipating for the whole of last week finally happened.
A panel with the following words appeared in front of him.
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-MISSION-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-
+Objective: Eliminate and steal the target's identity.

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-
Jin went through the details of the mission and after going through it he checked the target's location.
'What a coincidence...' Jin thought after seeing the place where his target was currently hiding. It was the slums where he used to live earlier.
Jin zoomed in and soon realized the exact location of the target. He was very familiar with the area around the slums and was able to easily imagine where exactly the guy was hiding.
'It won't be convenient to do the job during the day and at night this area is not very well lit, I can use that to my advantage and kill him,' Jin made up a plan in his mind.
At first, he was thinking about calling it a day today from work but now that he knew that the location of the target was in the slums, he calmed down a bit. The best moment to strike would be at night so naturally he could attend his work normally today.
Jin soon arrived at the school.
Upon entering he noticed that there was a lot more hustle and bustle among the staff. He inquired about it in the changing room and got to know that today the school was going to be visited by the daughter of the school's leading sponsor.
Even though the school was a public school everything from education to all the facilities it provided was top-notch. It was all thanks to the sponsors which the school had.
"Is there a particular reason she's visiting?" Jin curiously asked.
"From what I've heard, she just wanted to check whether the money they are investing in this school is being used properly," Uncle Tim said.
"That's right, I also heard that she has recently joined her father's company and is getting familiar with everything so that she could take care of it in the future...she must be very dedicated," Uncle John added.
They all soon changed into their uniform and got to work. They were in more of a rush than usual because the visitors would be arriving soon.
So everyone busied themselves with the work and managed to finish it all before nine in the morning.
At the gates, the principal and the vice principal waited for the visitors along with a few administrative staff.
Three cars soon stopped at the gates and a woman along with a few people in office suits were soon welcomed by the school staff.
"Good morning Miss Flora," The principal greeted the chairman's daughter.
"Good morning Mrs. Smith. I'll be in your care for now," The woman smiled and was soon led by the principal to see the school.
She was shown all the facilities around the school and also passed by some of the classes where the students were being taught.
Naturally, Jin and the other workers were also able to catch a glimpse of her as she also wanted to meet all the school workers to ask them about their working conditions.
'As expected from an upper-class woman,' Jin thought. Even though Jin was only able to observe the woman for a brief moment he was enamoured by her way of carrying herself with grace and confidence. It was the same with everyone present.
An irrational thought of trying to win her heart even entered his mind for a second but Jin immediately shook those away.
'How could a person with such a high upbringing take an interest in him, a person who came from the slums?' Jin lampooned in his mind
The delegation stayed at the school for almost 2 hours before finally leaving and everyone got back to their respective work.
In the evening, Jin grabbed a bus to the railway station. Instead of returning to his home first and then from there going to the target's location he had decided to go there directly.
In the station, he entered the toilet and changed his appearance to that of someone else. His face's complexion was quite dull and looked unhealthy and his body also shrivelled up a bit.
A physique like this won't raise any eyebrows in the slum area so Jin had decided to take on this appearance. With that done, Jin caught the latest local train to his earlier place of residence, the slum.
