Chereads / Fairy tail and the Abysmal slayer(remake) / Chapter 18 - [Mercenaries jobs]

Chapter 18 - [Mercenaries jobs]

[Haruta]now tell me why i shouldn't kill you right here right now

[???]calm down, it was a test, don't kill them

[Haruta]whatever, if you brought me here to waste my time then i have things to do

[???]what like cause trouble fairy tail? or worse get them killed?

slamming him up against the wall and releasing a dark aura of mist 10 more members popped out with magic at the ready along with weapons aimed towards Haruta

[???]STOP DON"T DO IT,look im sorry i spoke too soon, however it's the truth, now can you stop and let me explain your too hot headed

putting him down he looked at him with a questioning look wondering what exactly is going on.

[Flint]names Flint, the reason i brought you here is so that you can join us, we are Mercenaries that work directly under the king of E.Fiore, and someone like you would do nicely in our ranks

Flint revealing himself from his mask and hood revealing his blonde hair and blue eyes with a scar along his left eye.

[???]what are you thinking Flint if the leader new about this

[Flint]the leader isn't here and i am the commander of this branch as of now

[???]HMPH,he doesn't look all that good to me

[???]yeah he's probably just some 3rd weight from the street

[Flint]how about we test that then Batu? Rose?

the supposed 2 Assassins Rose and Batu are brother and sister which Batu is the younger brother with silver eyes and grey wild looking hair well Rose also has Grey hair but yellow eyes able to see weaknesses in the opponents defence.

[Rose/Batu]sure thing i'll find his weakness/lets see what this 3rd weights got

walking down a flight of stairs they ended up underground walking for a minute or two they ended up at a giant underground arena where a ton of people were fighting.

[Haruta]what is this place?

[Flint]this is called the underground quite a fitting name for the place huh?

[Haruta]sounds idiotic to me

hearing this a giant of a man turned around clenching his fist he directed a murderous intent at Haruta with a glaring look

[Man]the hell did you say wimp?

[Haruta]said it sounds idiotic

[Man]oh yeah guess we'll see how idiotic it is when you get inside there, come on little man bring it

looking back at Flint, Flint gestured his hands as a shrug allowing Haruta to do what he wanted

[Man]what little man need permission from him,huh? pathetic

[Haruta]alright big man bring it to the arena

walking inside of the arena everyone was cheering on the man as he hyped up the crowd by roaring out, he then looked at Haruta using his thumb as a gesture to kill him, bringing out a giant great sword he looked at Haruta waiting for him to pull out a weapon

[Rose]uhhh does he have a weapon? remember we can't use magic since there's restrictions down here, Flint we can't use him if he dies today

[Flint]toss him your sword than

[Rose]what no way you give him yo-

[Commentator]START!!!

starting off the fight Haruta got into a fighting stance as he waited for the man who was currently taunting him, seeing as it didn't work he got annoyed, rushing at him he swung the great sword at Haruta dodging it easily angered him more sending out a flurry off attacks as they were dodged, so instead he tried grabbing him failing at that too

[Man]is that all your capable of you annoying bug, stop moving so much damn it

[Haruta]is the big gorilla mad

angering him he started swinging furiously as Haruta finally got his fill of entertainment he ducked underneath his hook that was sent to the right side quickly sending a fast paced hit to his rib then to his hip after that he quickly got up jumping and sending a flying kick to his head dazing him, stumbling backward Haruta gave him no chance to recover as he sent a flurry of fists at his face making him stunned, about to fall Haruta gave him one swing to the nose then a last punch sending an uppercut breaking his nose and jaw.

[Commentator]um.....ah w...we WE HAVE A WINNER THE UNKNOWN OPPONENT

[Crowd]Whoa/ NO WAY/ HE BROUGHT HIM DOWN/ go other guy/ YEAH!!!

leaving the Arena he walked over to Flint as Rose and Batu looked at him weirdly and wondering how he was so skilled in reaction speed and combat, Rose also didn't see any defects in his defence

[Batu]whatever your still a 3rd weight to us

[Flint]good work out there Har-

grabbing him and dragging him to the side

[Haruta]look from now on you don't say that name, im wanted by the magic council as weak as everyone here is i can still sense a few people here that can give me a hard time and if they find out and want the reward, it'll be a pain to deal with

[Flint]then what do we call you?

[Haruta]i don't know something simple

[Flint]how about Cloud simple and easy?

[Haruta]what ever floats your boat

[Flint]so does that officially mean your with us?

[Haruta]no, i'll be here, for a few weeks for jobs that is it okay

nodding they walked back to the others, afterwards they arrived back at the guild telling him how everything is done and the rules to it all

-Rules-

1.No killing of other members

2.what ever gold or loot found is distributed to the slums

3.they report the kill of a target to the leader. ALWAYS

4.keep silent, not violent

5.all members are on even ground

6.sort conflict between others outside of the guild

Etc

reading them Cloud stood up going to Flint he asked about the leader of the organisation as Flint shook his head telling him she wasn't coming back till a few days, nodding Cloud asked about the contract and said he can't stay for long only till the end of this year, agreeing to it Flint knew that in that time he could get more than any other member done, maybe a bit weaker than the leader at most

[Flint]you'll fit great around here

[Cloud]right, anyway what kind of missions will i be going on?

[Flint]for now you will be going on missions with a few of the new members, i'll appoint you the leader of them, as the leader im sure you'll do great and lead them well, also your gonna need a weapon after all you don't have unlimited magic power now do you?

[Cloud]i guess so

[Flint]from the looks of the way you fight your very fast so you'll be good with a Katana and throwing knives how about it?

[Cloud]sure thing i guess so

leaving they left for a secret craftsman shop that Flint personally knew it was a blacksmith man named Darner-Knewbell ordering a special order, for recovering throwing knives that are enhanced with his magic able to travel through the shadows, he also made a Katana that was pitched black and instead made with his lightning and able to resist his darkness(i'll leave the thinking to you)

1 week later

[Flint]now that that's finished you can get started on those jobs

[Cloud]actually i've already done 2 jobs this week i help escort duke Lunar and subjugated a dark guild leader who was plotting against the mayor of town this town

hearing that Flint stopped for a few seconds, standing there lost and confused he finally regained himself wondering just what he was.Walking back to the organisation it has already been a week since Cloud joined the Mercs organisation, and has already done 2 of the missions that were sent over to them.

[Rose]Cloud? come here i need your help for a job

[Cloud]me? why ain't i just a nuisance?

[Rose]oh shut up and get here already you annoying idiot

[Cloud]fine what the hell are we doing?

[Rose]since you can easily travel around with your shadows then i was thinking you could easily get into this dark guild base find out information on it and we can simply leave back to tell the contractor about the mission, sounds easy right?

[Cloud]whatever you say

[Batu]WHAT YOUR GOING ON A MISSION WITHOUT ME, WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS!?!!

[Rose]like i just said i wanna do this mission with Cloud

[Batu]TCH, Cloud if you dare do anything to get my sister in harms way i'll kill you

[Cloud]it'll be her own fault if she dies, anyway we going or not

[Batu]you bastard...

[Rose]yup let's go

leaving out of town on the train towards the forest or Magnolia, apparently there were ruins left around one of the areas that the guild resides in and all they have to do is find information on what the guild was doing and that is all simple and easy.Explaining it's whereabouts and what they were doing in more detail he understood the point of this mission, a simple in and out mission of intel

[Cloud]got it, and also what will you be doing again

[Rose]i'll be distracting the guards with a new little invention i got hehe

smiling crazily they left on the train geared up Cloud was dressed in a Kitsune mask and black cloak mixed with combat pants and boots with his weapons in a bag that they had with them, Rose had a face mask and hoodie on with her signature weapons dagger and short sword with a load of poison over time Cloud has found out her magic is Toxin use, a dark magic practised in the arts of alchemy, while her brother practised glyph magic that he can use as stepping stones in the air or connecting to any surface, Flints magic is different he has a magic that is smoke able to increase or decrease its thickness and also can see through it.

[Rose]hey wake up we're here, geez you really like sleeping huh

[Cloud]yeah get's me away from your annoying voice

[Rose]what was that punk

[Cloud]shut up let's get going i can feel people looking at us

leaving the area they quickly made there way towards the area we're the ruins resided finding several people both of them nodded knowing exactly there goal, Rose leaving after about 5 minutes a loud explosion was heard alerting the guards, cutting through Cloud made his way through, getting around the guards easily he made his way to rooms that may or may not have stored information after 5 minutes he found what he was looking, leaving he left for the entrance as he heard fighting he sighed, quickly appearing where the fighting was taking place he saw Rose was injured on her hip and a cloaked figure dressed in assassin wear

[???]it seems you thought too highly of your self girl, i'll enjoy you tonight

licking his lips Rose shuddered as she clenched her weapons getting ready for a fight, with the assassin leaping forward at an alarming rate she was about to start till (whoosh)

[Cloud]the hell are you doing idiot,tch your such a pain, get out of here

[Rose]no i can help you fi-

[Cloud]your in the way, with that injury you'll just be a nuisance i got what we came for just leave

hesitating Cloud sent a murderous intent at her making her feel scared, after all this she felt it the fear that Cloud could give off to someone "LEAVE" with a chilling voice she did as instructed

[Cloud]okay now that she's gone, i'll be your opponent
