The raven haired magician sighed deeply as she stood in front of a closed door, closing her eyes in annoyance although it won’t be apparent to those who was looking at her due to the lack of ability to express her emotion. She would opened her amber eyes as she sat down, tired of waiting for the assassin. She wondered if the nobleman was just being paranoid, but she knew that it was just her being impatient. Well, it was not like she hated the job. It was just… the nobleman didn’t let her to be inside and protect him directly. He said it was something called privacy and that it was not appropriate for a guard to be in the same room as the boss. That was just crazy and Noir was not in the mood to argue about that, she just wanted the job to be done as soon as possible… and rewarded on the side note, obviously.
The mansion was too dark as well, it was not well lit and it felt like no one lived there… perhaps the maids and the members of this house were afraid to even take a stroll around the house. It was understandable considering one of them died before. The young magician could only guess the reason behind this whole targeting was because of the nobles themselves, all the envy, jealousy and grudge created this whole mess. The interesting part was… it was all the same everywhere, Kou, Reim, anywhere. It made her think about her family, the story about the massacre, was the reason behind it the same? She couldn’t remember… and she wasn’t willing to remember.
Suddenly there was something moving, but she wasn’t sure yet about it. So she got ready and stood up, her hand ready on her weapon that hanged at the back. She kept looking at the direction of the shadow, but turned out it was just a cat moving around. It leaped towards the stairs and kept walking like it owned the house. But Noir could feel something else and she recognized it, a murderous intent, coming from her left side. She quickly took her weapon and looked at two kunai dagger flying towards her before
parrying those kunais up. But she wouldn’t be paying more attention to the assassin anymore as she kicked the door and ran towards the surprised noble. “Are they here?!” The noble asked as he ran towards Noir, seeking for protection. Noir raised her eyebrow, wondering if the elder lost his mind or what. If she kicked the door and ran towards him, wouldn’t it was clear that the assassins had arrived? “Go to the corner.” Noir said to the elder as she guarded him as he do so while moving to the corner as well.
There was two assassins in total, one was polite enough to come from the door leading to the elder’s office. One came from the window, breaking the glass and made his entrance to the house. Noir only saw two of the assassins at the moment as she got ready, she could handle both of them by herself. With the elder stood in fear at the corner, protected by the wall beside him and Noir in front of him, the girl didn’t have worry too much about her client’s safety and could just focus on the assassins. But it was bothersome when one of the assassins threw
smoke bombs, it would be hard to see the incoming attacks until the smoke cleared out. She had an idea for now since she wanted to try not using magic at all tonight, so she waited while holding her Vuoto as she whispered to the elders to not make any sound. Finally one of the assassin made a move as he
lunged forward and tried to send several strikes to Noir. The girl felt the steel scratching her skin, showing that the assassin couldn’t see well either in the smokes. Well, this became simple, Noir could measure the distance and it would be enough for her to commence attack. So she
lunged Vuoto towards the assassin, thrusting it upward as it felt like it hit something before
swinging her weapon vertically towards the assassin.
She could tell that the attack was successful as she heard thud sounds in front of her and fortunately the smoke began to clear a little bit. The remaining assassin ran towards Noir and tried to send his
deathly kunai, believing it would hit the girl since she didn’t move at all. In fact she was just trying to find some opening and it would be bothersome to even move from her spot, so she let the kunais to create another small wounds on her arm and neck. Just when the assassin want to pull the wire back, the girl pull it towards her first using her strength and pulled the assassin towards her before
sending four quick slashes and wounding the assassin. And… it seemed there was just two assassins being sent, she checked all the area of the house with the noble and couldn’t find another. But before she checked the area, she made sure that she tied the assassin properly so she can hand them to the city guards.
“Your house is clear, I will bring those two to the guards and let them to investigate about this matter.” Noir spoke to the noble, “Oh, and until the matter is sorted out and some of my acquaintances will help to guard your house as well…”
The nobleman was lost actually, he didn’t really think that such a young girl could protect him and was very surprised that she really did protect him unscathed. So he gave her a nice reward in return and thanked her for letting him live for several more years.
