He's a top ranked assassin in his association, and has been assigned a task to take out criminals involved in the magic school, Orion Academy. He disguises himself as a teacher named Solo Pastry who is then assigned to supervise Class 2-D, a class of underperforming or dysfunctional students. It proves to be a more challenging task than he had imagined. Solo later finds out that the students in Class 2-D are his targets, and the task requires him to kill all of them in a practice known as "egg-smashing" to rid the future of "evil wizards".
