Master found me on the streets when I was five, offered to train me as an assassin. I was starving, weakened, waiting to be snatched up by the pedos.
What other prospect did I have?
By seven, I surpassed the other orphans my age. By ten, no one could beat my times on the obstacle course. By twelve, I was given a puppy to assist in my final training.
What could possibly hold me back?
At fourteen, Master said I was ready for missions, if I passed my last test: kill my dog.
What could I do without a master?
