I will state this first, I never plan on becoming an assassin.

Facing the person, I told him as such.

Although I could not see his name, however, his name and titles were all in blue, and at the very front, hes even labelled with Momiji.

This only meant one thing, and that hes a Momiji Secret Society member like me.

According to Falans message, someone from the Momiji will come in contact with me during the live exercise. It seems its this guy.

However, I only told him the truth. Although I did kill the murderer without any hesitation, however, he was after all, a mass murderer. Killing him would probably save more lives in the future.

Yuon, that

When I turned with the intention of talking to Yuon, I realized she actually ran before I even noticed it.

And very quickly, a notification came, notifying me that she already ran out of the partys formation range.

Alright, this girl really runs quite fast.

Your friend already left, you know.

I know that.

I helplessly shook my head.

Looks like shes a professional pugger. Once she finishes her task, she leaves without even saying goodbye.

(t/n: Pug: Pick-up group)

However, its nothing much. After all, we did complete our quest, so I dont really mind as well.

However, as for the person in front of me

Just how strong is he? I can actually see him with my own eyes, but he doesnt show up on the mini-map.

I dont know, but his level must be pretty damn high.

Looks like you already know my identity. However, how did you find me? This forest isnt small.

As the Momijis manager, if I cant even locate a single member, then theres no point in me taking up this position.

Is that so? However, you actually found me using the tattoo that was placed on me, right?

Haa

He let out a sigh.

Even if that is so, you shouldnt just blurt it out like that. Cant you at least save me some face?

You dont need to save face with just the two of us here, do you?

Youngsters nowadays dont even care about the elderly anymore. How saddening.

Hey hey, youre not that old, right?

This guy wore a black hooded robe, and I almost thought Ezio appeared in front of me. And this guy also had an European-looking face.

However, that kind of thing wasnt possible, so I immediately threw this thought out of my mind.

Cough cough, even if youre trying to compliment me, I wont be happy.

Im not, Im only speaking the truth.

Alright, there are still pretty good youngsters nowadays! I like you!

Im sorry, Im not homo.

Homo?

Dont mind it, its my native slang. It means someone with full of mature charm, especially someone like you.

Hahaha, dont worry, you will definitely be someone like that one day.

No, I will never ever become like that, so you dont have to worry.

However, I did not say this out loud, because I felt that this wouldnt ever end if I continued.

Hopefully, he wont spread this word around, otherwise, this would become a homo-filled world.

Alright, lets stop with this useless chatter.

You already chattered quite a bit.

My name is Tony Clude. I guess Falan told you why Im here, right?

She only said that someone would contact me about matters related to the Momiji.

Yes. The trust Falan accumulated in the organization isnt small, so there shouldnt be a problem with her recommendation. However, I feel the same way about you as well. This is your contact key. You will be able to access our system terminal with it.

Tony took out a weirdly shaped crystal and passed it to me. When I took it and examined it, I found out that this thing could actually transform its shape into various security clearance items. One of them was a key to the magic terminal in the academys library!

However, this isnt 100% safe. Its best used while hiding your identity. Although this item will not leave any traces of use, however, there are still experts capable of tracking you. Even though the magic terminals were only created about two years ago, there are several powerful people researching them.

Simply put, they are the hackers of this world, right? However, I feel that the person who made the magic terminal came from our world. After all, this world existed for more than a thousand years, how was it possible for the internet here to appear only two years ago?

However, that isnt the main point.

However, wouldnt it have been fine for Falan to hand this to me? Why did you have to come here personally?

About that, its a custom in our organization. After all, you cant only be known by a single member. And, isnt this a pretty good outcome? I even helped you settle a pretty difficult opponent. The person in front of you was several times stronger than both of you combined. Although the bounty on this guy was 20,000 gold, but

20,000 gold!

Bastard, why wasnt I informed of this!?

I didnt know of this!

Eh? If you didnt know, why did you chase after him?

Because Because he killed my schoolmates!

I wont tell you that I did this because of a quest.

I see. However, I didnt expect you to work with an assassin from another guild. Was she your acquaintance?

Not really, but were related in some ways.

The next time I see her, I must have her hand over half of the bounty!

Well, I did watch your battle earlier. With your current standard, your ability to use a combination of magic and close-combat skills is pretty good. However, youre hiding your true strength, arent you? I can feel your current actual strength is much stronger than what you displayed in the battle.

Well Only a little.

Actually, it was because I gained several levels. However, you probably wouldnt believe it even if I told you.

Alright, my mission here is complete. I hope you will work hard with Falan on future missions.

Thats for sure. However, do you mind telling me one thing before you go?

Oh? What do you want to know?

Do you know which direction Im supposed to go to return to my academys airship?
