-NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN-
"Too slow, Iceland. Try to see an opening where it would best suit your speed and accuracy!" South said as he dodged an attack made by his subordinate.
South then leaped up and jumped over Belarus. "Your footsteps are too loud, Belarus. Even a human could hear you"
This was how South trained his students. He started by teaching them the basics, so they started with knife training. He gave them plastic knives as they try to slash their mentor. While South dodges their endless attacks, he comments on how they moved so they could improve.
"Where are you looking, Iceland? I'm over here?" South taunted them as well. He wanted them to keep a calm mind as well.
He saw that both his students are getting frustrated and were now just swinging their weapons at random. He mentally reminded himself that he would scold them later for their lack of patience and also think of a way to improve it, as well as mental training.
Belarus then came from behind South but he just turned halfway, grabbed her arm and threw her at Iceland. Both landed on the lake, making both soaking wet.
"How can both of you win if you could not keep a clear head? Didn't I tell you that the man who uses wits wins as well as keep a calm mind?" South sighed. "Training is over for today. I will think of a better training menu. Perhaps, I should separate several categories for both of you to improve. The sight I am seeing is rather pathetic. Think of all that I have told you, practice if you want, but tomorrow we are returning to the basics. Dismissed"
South left his trainees, but Belarus called him one more time.
"South! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to my fratello's house. I have to check on him from time to time. It was a promise I made to someone, and I intend to keep it. When I return I expect at least a few improvements. If I see none, it's either I boost your physical morning exercises or you have to write a reflection on your mistakes consisting of 5 pages and each page should have more than 500 words. I would know if you would cheat, so don't bother to trick me. I'll be back by this evening. I have high expectations from you both, don't disappoint me"
Once left the vicinity, Belarus and Iceland laid on the ground, exhausted.
"Training is so hard! We can't even land a scratch on him!" Belarus sighed. "I think it's impossible…"
"It's impossible if South was on high alert…" Iceland mumbled. "From his movements, he looked bored and seemed to be playing with us! We just need more practice. I don't want to have anymore morning exercises, though. But the paper seems even harder"
Belarus shivered. "No more papers, please! I've had enough of South's lessons"
Iceland rolled his eyes. "What's the problem between you and education, anyways? You're a nation, you could understand things easier than any human at our ages, heck, even humans older than us"
"I just don't like sitting down in a room. It makes me feel uneasy. Like, I'm trapped… I don't know. I like to move around. Feel the wind against my skin."
"But, you also need to be intellectual. Remember, intelligence is usually the key to defeat opponents who are older or bigger than us. It's an advantage if we have those"
Belarus's eyes widened and sat up immediately. "That's it!"
"What is?"
Belarus grinned. "Here, let me show you…"
-NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN-
"Spain! How lovely to see you!" Turkey said as he was face to face with the Spanish nation.
"At least one of us is…" Spain mumbled, narrowing his eyes at Turkey.
Turkey laughed. "No need for the alertness. I won't do anything wrong"
"Then why is he here?"
Spain pointed at South, who was behind Turkey.
Turkey frowned. "What's wrong? South is my underling and a great bodyguard. Plus, he rarely gets to see his brother. I thought it would be alright for him to see his brother since they both parted on bad terms"
"You mean, the time they were separated by Austria, or the time you brought that monster into the meeting? Either way, North would be better off without ever knowing that"
South remained emotionless behind Turkey. Spain frowned at that. He wanted the young nation to attack so that the Turkish Empire would join the war as well, making it easier for his opponents to wipe each other off before he attacks the weak victors.
"That would be false"
Spain looked back to see North there giving the Spanish nation a bright smile.
"I would want to speak with my fratello, signore Espana. Please stop saying false truths. I believe you have Turkey waiting, I'll take South to the garden"
Spain frowned but nodded. "Fine. But do not, in any given situation, let that thing into the mansion. I forbid it"
North's smile wavered a bit but it went unnoticed by his boss. "Yes, boss. We will just roam the grounds"
Spain gave North one last warning glance before telling Turkey to enter his private study, leaving the two Italian nations.
"How have you been, Rom-… South."
South smiled. "I'm sorry, Veneziano… or are you called North now?"
North laughed. "I go by North. I remember people calling Italy, but we're both Italy and it didn't seem fair. As for our shared past at the Austrian's house… I could understand what you felt, no need for further explanations"
South smiled. "Hey, what have you been doing in the Spaniard's house? Is he training you? Teaching you the basics?"
North frowned. "Just like Austria, all I do is clean and look pretty. He doesn't even stay at his house long enough to notice anything. I study at night, when no one is awake. I stay in his library and leave at daybreak. It's a good thing nonno had already taught you about running a country, I don't know anything about that"
"What?! Spain didn't teach you anything? You should at least know what is happening in your country or if his judgements on your economy is correct! Turkey makes sure to educate me and I read his book of progress if he ever made a mistake in handling my country!" South seemed furious. He slowly stood up and glared at the large double doors of the house. "I better talk to him at handling underlings. He doesn't seem to know the basics, the idiot"
North took his brother's hand and looked at him sadly. "Do you want Spain to have a reason for your boss to join the war? Many countries are intimidated by the Turkish Empire and thinks that you are a threat to everyone. Spain believes that if Turkey joins the war, Turkey could easily wipe out the other empires and once Turkey is weak, Spain would conquer him"
"A good plan…"
"Spain was also hoping that you would be broken during that period."
South scoffed. "Me? Broken? I'm not even fixed to begin with"
North laughed coldly. "You don't say? I guess we really are brothers. Both are broken from the start"
Both brothers glanced at each other and smiled.

Belarus and Iceland were wading beside the river. They were talking and awaiting South return.
"Have you learned from your mistakes?"
The two nation slowly nodded their and smiled at their mentor.
"Yes, we have…" Belarus said then out of no where a net was suddenly activated.
The net was to capture South but since South was surprised by the sudden attack, he barely escaped the net. As he was trying to find a footing, Iceland was already behind him with a knife on South's neck.
South's eyes widened a bit but he then smiled. "That's more like it"
Iceland and Belarus smiled and cheered. South joined them as well.
"As a reward, I won't teach the basics anymore. Starting tomorrow, you both would be trained under professionals on a field of assassination you desire. Choose the field you think would utilize your skills"
"I want to keep using these knives…I really like them."
South nodded. "Knives are really great weapons but I would advise you to use other weapons as well. You could specialize in knives but would still be knowledgeable on different weapons as well. Suggest that knives are for your offense, a bow and arrow for Long-range, and a broad sword for defense. You could choose to replace these weapons through time but for now, master these"
Belarus nodded.
South then turned to Iceland. "And you?"
"I was inspired by one of my former caretakers who wanted to be a doctor to help his people… so I want to learn more on poison."
"Poison is also a great weapon and has the element of surprise. The problem is that it is not efficient in battles" South paused. "This caretaker of yours…wanted to become a doctor, correct? If so, you could use syringes in battle. You could place the poison within a syringe and hit your enemies. I would also advise you to use a separate weapon as well, if your syringes are to be gone or broken… could you train with sais? It would be a small enough to hide and if used properly, you could easily break any blade"
Iceland nodded.
South smiled. "You both exceeded my expectations. I am very proud"
Belarus and Iceland looked at South once more and smiled widely. South was about to return to the mansion when both his subordinates took his hand and all three of them tumbled into the river.
"What was that for?!" South exclaimed.
"You were being too serious. Liven up!"
"Yes. We're all approximately the same age. Try to ac more like it."
South scoffed. "You mean tumble down into a river like idiots?"
"Exactly!" Belarus screamed as she dunked South's head into the water.
Iceland laughed as South tackled Belarus to the water. Then both of them took Iceland down with them.
From a tree, a man was watching the scene unfold with a fond smile gracing his features.
"Mister Turkey… a letter was given today"
"Give it here"
The human handed Turkey the letter. Turkey read the contents and frowned.
"This could be trouble… send the elite force that I want them to spy on someone"
"And, where would that person be, Mister Turkey?"
"…Denmark"
-NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN-
After 5 years, Belarus and Iceland were already showing great potential. Not only that, all three of them had already have a body of a 15 years old teenager.
"For a job well done, I say the 4 of us celebrate!" Turkey beamed.
South rolled his eyes. "What are we, your children? Act your age, old man."
Turkey's eyebrow twitched. "I'll pretend that I did not hear you." He then turned to Belarus and Iceland. "You want to celebrate, right?"
"Not really" Belarus said.
Iceland shrugged. "I don't particularly care"
Turkey glared at them with a pout. "Brats. After all the care I gave them, this is what I get?" he mumbled.
"The boss may be a mother hen sometimes, but at least we know he cares. Anyway, I have gifts for both of you for completing your training"
South gave his former students a small box each. Both were wrapped in red, the only thing different would be the ribbon. Belarus has a dark Blue ribbon while Iceland has a lighter blue ribbon.
Curious, both started opening their presents.
"S-south…" Belarus whispered.
In her box were beautiful twin knives. The handle was made of gold and a small amethyst stone at the center. The blade also had an encryption written on the blade. Both blade had the word 'Protect'.
Iceland was speechless with the contents of his own box. Inside were 10 syringes with different sizes and poisons. There was also a book inside on how to make different types of poisons. All syringes had an encryption as well, it had the word 'Save'.
South smirked. "Speechless?"
Both his friends looked at him and nodded. South laughed and patted their heads.
"Thank you"
"You're Welcome"
"Well, I have a gift as well"
The three of them gave their attention to Turkey.
Turkey coughed. "With the brilliant result both of you had displayed, I have now placed you in the X squad"
"The X squad?"
South nodded. "An elite group composed of assassins. It's a secret group so no one but the members of that squad knows about it, as well as Turkey and his superiors"
"I also made sure that you are placed under South. He is the commander of the X squad, you see. Lastly, I will give you your first mission"
The 2 nations perked up once they heard that they would be given their first mission. They have always dreamt of this day. South, on the other hand, frowned.
"5 years ago, I received a letter that said that the Soviet Union and the Nordics are going to join forces. I would usually leave it be since I am currently neutral, but they seem to be planning a weapon that could wipe out an entire country. So I had an elite group spy on them to confirm these, unfortunately it was true. I could not attack both of them, but my boss had ordered that the X squad exterminate all information on this, as well as the people involved. He countries knows the plan but the content of the weapons are et to be announced."
Turkey looked at them seriously.
"Your mission is to completely annihilate all traces of this weapon. Fail this, be sure to be ready to be hunted down. You leave tomorrow."
Turkey then smiled at them.
"Best of lucks!"
He then left the room.
"I knew something was up" South sighed. "Be ready tomorrow. Mentally prepare yourself. Being on a mission is different from any training you may have undergone" South also started walking away until he paused but did not turn. "I almost forgot. I also received a letter. We are also asked to rescue someone"
Belarus gulped. "Who?"
"…Denmark" with that said, South left the room.
Iceland froze but regained composure.
"Are you alright?"
He nodded. "I will be. I just didn't know I would be able to meet my entire family this soon"
"…you're not the only one"
There was comfortable silence that followed.
"It's time to show them that we are not the same kids anymore"
"Yes, our revenge is drawing near"
Both left the room as well, going to their rooms to ready themselves.
-NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN-
The 3 were in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Listen." South whispered. "Our mission is to destroy the scientists, blueprints and prototypes of the weapon…after that, we are to find the country Denmark"
Lovino took out a map.
"This is the laboratory. It's large but the walls are soundproof. The scientist there are too dedicated in making the weapon so they rarely eave the lab. At exactly 30 minutes, we should be able to enter the laboratory unnoticed and complete the first mission. Then we should be able to sneak past the guards and find Denmark in the heart of the North wing. We should also avoid any contact with the other countries. They are immortal like us, so it would be useless to try to kill them, also, if they saw us, it would surely be Turkey who would pay the price. Understood?"
Belarus and Iceland nodded.
"Everyone ready? Then let's go"
-NINJA-SAMURAI-ASSASSIN-
