Nightin decided to not waste anymore time and started descending the mountain.
An hour later,a shadow appeared in the Assasin Hall. At the counter was a middle aged man probably in his forties,with black hair long enough to touch his shoulders. Snake like tattoos were carved on both of his arms.
The man laughed at him and asked "Are you here to apply for the examination as well?"
Nightin took out his token and placed it on the table saying "No, I'm here to register my identity as a low ranked member of the Assasin Hall."
The man picked up the bronze coloured token and inspected it using his spirit essence. The man nodded and said "Walk straight west from here for about 200 metres,your residence is number 367."
Nightin nodded and walked towards his room,with his back facing the man.
Nightin walked inside his room,only to realise there's a fragrant smell of flowers. When walking to the bathing area,he saw smoke coming out from it and pulled open the curtains.
Only to be shocked to see a beautiful girl probably around the same age as him bathing.
They both looked at each other before screaming at each other.
Nightin starting "What the hell are you doing in my room!"
The girl screamed back "What do you mean by your room! This had always been my room since a month ago!"
The girl pulled the curtains closed and only walked out a few minutes later. Her face still blushing which only added on to her charm.
The girl had long silver hair which rested on her left shoulder and it was all the way down to her waist. The black outfit she was wearing further shows off her beauty as her beautiful figure could be seen. Her eyes were clear golden in colour and had a indescribable charm...
Nightin froze on the spot,looking at her.
A look of disdain appeared on the girl's face "Pervert!"
Before swinging her leg towards Nightin's head at full force.
Nightin threw a punch towards her as well.
"That's enough! What are you two doing!"
Nightin looked at the man,it was the man at the counter just now. Nightin asked him "What is she doing in my room?"
The girl asked politely "Instructor Casper,please tell me he isn't my roommate."
Instructor Casper only told them "You two are roommates from now on. Don't try to change my decision,why don't you guys introduce yourself to each other first."
Nightin took the initiative to start "My name is Nightin. I'm thirteen this year, I'm at the first star of the spirit gathering realm and I'm at the great scythe master titled realm.
The girl looked back at him and opened her mouth "My name is Charlotte.I just turned thirteen yesterday, I'm at the fourth star of spirit gathering and I'm at the peak bow master realm.
The instructor told them "Remember to read the instruction manual at the side. Training will be from 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm daily. The rest will be resting sessions and your meal and toilet breaks period."
"By the way, the afternoon lesson is starting in five minutes."
Nightin and Charlotte couldn't bother to care about each other anymore and dashed out of the room,rushing to the training ground.
When they arrived,there were 28 other students already prepared.
Instructor Casper told them "Get into your positions,you guys barely made it on time."
Nightin and Charlotte didn't hesitate to stand next to each other at their allocated spot despite what's happening between them right now.
Instructor Casper said "Your task for today is simple,kill a seventh star spirit gathering realm. However Nightin and Charlotte will have to kill a ninth star spirit gathering realm since they were the last pair to arrived. Your opponent may just be a puppet,but I won't save you guys if the mission fails. Your life and death is in your own hands. If there's nothing else,your mission begins now!"
The space around Nightin and Charlotte changed to a enclosed area of about 200 metres.
Nightin dashed towards the puppet while telling her "I'll take the frontline."
Nightin swinged his scythe towards the puppet,forming a dark purple scythe which slashed towards the puppet.
Charlotte fired seven arrows countinuously in a row,each flying towards the puppet at full speed.
On the other side,two blades emerged from the arms of the puppet,slashing towards their attack. Their attack was dispersed and the puppet countinued dashing towards them.
Instructor Casper was shocked and shouted "Damn it! That puppet gained intelligence!"
The puppets the Assasin Hall uses aren't equipped with any weapons. The only way for them to awaken one is by gaining intelligence.
Instructor Casper rushed towards Nightin and Charlotte enclosed space.
While inside the space,Charlotte was stabbed right in the stomach,her wound bleeding profusely. Her face went pale as well.
Nightin looked at the puppet saying "You'll pay for it!"
Rage was written all over Nightin's face,losing control of himself,he unsealed the first layer of the scythe.
Pain was consuming his whole body. From his muscles to his bones all the way to his internal organs. How mind felt like it was splitting apart,as though as if his only choice is to give up. Or it's a must,not a choice.
Nightin gritted his teeth,knowing that it isn't the time for him to give up. He can't afford to give up...
One minute ago... The puppet dashed towards Nightin,raising both of its blades it slashed towards him. Nightin's feet was rooted to the ground due to the pressure the puppet was exerting on him. Just when he thought it's the end of the line for him, Charlotte pushed him away and was stabbed in the stomach...
Nightin didn't know why,people were always sacrificing themselves for them. The sight in front of him reminded him of the Nether dragon,he doesn't want to be a bystander again. He doesn't want history to repeat itself again. He'll take control of what's happening this time.
Nightin gritted his teeth telling himself "I can't give up yet, especially after Charlotte got injured because of me! I'll destroy the puppet and save Charlotte,no matter what it takes!"
