Ivy gave Ruby Monday off because Instead of getting half a day off she could get a full day of rest.
Although Ruby did struggle a lot in the first month she got a used it it pretty soon.
The first month was filled with Ruby crying and wanting to give up but her desire to kill Hadley was the driving force that made Ruby not give up
During the second and the third month Ruby got pretty used to the training and studies, she was doing a lot better Than before.
By the end of forth month, Ruby had mastered everything that Su and Ivy were teaching and was at the end of training.
The fifth and the last month was spent learning a secret technique which Su knew about, but because it's an risky technique Ruby was told not to actually use this technique.
By the end of the 5 months of training, Ruby was ready to face the entrance exam.
" So it's finally time for you to give the entrance exam. "
" Yes it is, but don't worry uncle Su, big sis Ivy, I'll surely pass it and become a great assassin. "
" I don't know much about the ranks but by what dad described, you ahould be around rank B right? "
" Yaa, I have to work my way up to reach where uncle Su was. "
" Oi brat, don't push your luck, you are strong I'll give you that but you shouldn't aim to be like me, and promise me that after you take your revenge you'll quit your job as assassin and live your life normally. "
" I'll... I'll keep that in mind. "
" Well I'll go to my bedroom, I need to do something. " Said Ivy and went to her room.
" Welk let's talk about your name and things. "
" Yes, big sis Ivy told me everything about it. "
" So then tell me what you'll say them if they ask you your name and other information. "
" I'm Gem Redriver, age 15, hobby- hunting, education- home schooled. "
" Very good. "
" Thanks but is it really necessary to change my name. "
" under normal circumstances it's not, but since you were presumed dead with your parents in the car accident and Hadley was keeping you being alive a secret, if you use your real name, it would be a problem. "
" Is that so. "
" Yes and also it can reach Hadley's ears. "
" I definitely can't let that happen, but is it okey for me to use your surname? "
" Of course it is, you are like my daughter now aren't you? "
" Uncle Su~ you are such a gentleman sometimes. "
" Well anyway, now I need to tell you some that I hid from you when I told you my past 5 months ago. "
" And what is it? You were a superhero or something like that? "
" Will you take this seriously of once Ruby. "
" Ok uncle Su. "
" My best friend's name was Pearl, Pearl Moonsung. She was strong, brave and beautiful, but she was also pretty lazy, drama queen and she was short. "
" Why bring that up all of the sudden. "
" Because... because she was your mom. "
Ruby was breathless.
" Yes I... I wasn't able to help your mom."
Ruby didn't say a single word and continued listening.
" I'll tell you everyday I know.
Even after settling down here, I always regretted that I didn't help Pearl, so after quitting I started searching for clues about her thinking...
one day I'll find her and then I could apologize to her. will she already be married? I hope that guy is keeping her happy, what if she have a kid? I'll be the uncle!? I'm not ready to be an uncle yet, it feels like I'm old when I hear uncle.
I often used these thoughts as a way to stay positive and not lose hope.
Days turned into months and then years and I was still yet to find her.
One day a police officer who knew me contacted me telling there was a accident in which an unknown family lost their lives, usually I help the officer and search the relatives but when I saw the bodies I broke down, it was Perl and I guess the man was her husband, I mean your father. I took care of their Burial. After a week when dead certificate came, there was your name on it too.
I went to the police officer to discuss about what was going on and he told me that the body of a child presumably the child of the couple who were dead, was taken by a man who had ties with higher ups in the department. It was Hadley who had taken you after the accident.
I just didn't knew how to deal with that situation since a higher up was backing up Hadley. I searched Hadley and after years of searching I found out about you and how they were treating you.
I was furious so I went in to take you from Hadley.
That night when you escaped, you made a huge commotion in one of the rooms but yet Hadley didn't come there. that's because he was fighting with me. Our fight didn't conclude as soon as I found out that you escaped, I made my exit and went to find you. Due to my experience, I was able to narrow down on the direction you might have ran to and atlast I found you near the mountains, covered in mud, crying.
I didn't knew what to do in those kinds of situations and telling you that I'm you mom's best friend and I'll take care of you all of the sudden, it would have made things worse. So I just became some random old man who was there to deliver some goods. I'm really sorry I wasn't able to help you sooner. "
" I don't blame you uncle Su, I do feel bad for my mom but still it wasn't your fault, you shouldn't blame yourself for it. "
" But- "
" Actually I'm really happy to hear that you went through all that for me and mom. Thank you very much for everything you've done till now uncle Su. "
" I don't deserve this. "
" After going through all that, you totally deserve this.
You know what uncle Su, I've decided what I'll do after my revenge. "
" what? "
" After getting this revenge, I'll become the strongest Assassin even surpassing you and I'll protect you and big sis Ivy. "
" What are you gonna protect us from anyway? "
" I'll protect you from falling in despair, I'll protect you from being lonely, I'll protect you from sadness. "
" That's just stupid, but- "
" Hey!! it's not stupid. "
" It's pretty stupid but I hope you do protect us from all that... we are counting on you. "
" I will... I will uncle Su. "
" Now go and talk with Ivy, if you pass the exam then you won't meet her for a while. "
" Ya I'll go and talk with her. "
Ruby goes in Ivy's bedroom where she sees Ivy crying while hugging a pillow.
" Big sis Ivy!!! What happend? what are you crying? are you hurt or something? or did I do something?. "
" Nooooo, that's not it~ "
" Then why are you crying big sis Ivy!? "
" you are gonna go away from meee~ I'll be alone again. "
" Alone? Uncle Su is still there with you right? and wasn't it just you two before I came, you'll go back to normal. "
" Nooo! it can't be the same anymore, I can't let go of my cute sister. "
" But I'm annoying, I'm short, I make fuss about silly things and I am not even smart. "
" What does it have to do with me being sad because you are leaving. "
" I'm saying that I'm not a cute sister, I'm an horrible sister, I tried my best but I just wasn't able to be a good little sister. "
" Ruby! what are you talking about! you were the best little sister I could ever hope for. Even though you have your shortcomings you still are a good sister. "
" ah! so you won't disagree on the my bad things/habbits. "
" No human is perfect, do you get that Ruby. "
" I honestly would have been happier if you had said ' No Ruby those are your good things' or somthing like that, why you gotta agree with me on my bad things. "
" I can't deny the truth. "
" So that's the truth huh!? you want to say I'm short, I'm annoying- "
" Didn't you said them yourself. "
" It was your job to deny that and tell me that you love me as I am. "
" And why would I do that!!? Even though I do love you as you are, I won't say that I like everything about you. "
" Is that so, then let's do this then. "
" Do what!!? "
" The Game!!! "
" You seriously want to go as far as playing THAT game. "
" If my seriousness could be measured then it would be over 9000. "
" That's pretty odd of an even number don't you think so. "
" Bis sis Ivy, for the last 5 months I wanted to tell you this but I kept quite thinking this might hurt you, but today I have to tell you this. "
" tell me what huh!!? what!!? "
" That your maths jokes. "
" Yaa, what about my maths jokes. "
" They aren't funny at all. "
" Did you just said what I heard you said. You think that MY maths jokes aren't funny at all!!? "
" big sis Ivy try to underst- "
" No, there is no need to understand now, now all that will happen is THE GAME. "
" So you are finally motivated to play that game huh!? it doesn't matter big sis, because today I'm gonna win it and I'll be the one who'll stand at the top in this house. "
" Did you forget that I'm the one who is at the top, you think you can beat me even when my dad couldn't beat me, do you have so much confidence in your self. "
" Confidence! That was the first thing uncle Su taught me and now using that same confidence I'll defeat his daughter and become the very best like no one ever was. "
" Well then let's start the match Ruby. "
" yaa let's go big sis Ivy. "
The game starts in 3

" Rock, papers, Scissors Go. "
Ivy infact did win and stayed the best Rock paper Scissors champion and the undefeated queen.
" But Ruby seriously, I'm gonna miss you soo much, even though you lived here for like 5 months but you have already become a part of the family and even if Dad don't show it, we both know hoe much he adores and care for you. "
" Yaa big sis Ivy, you both gave me the family, Good food, new clothes, you treated me nice. I'm really grateful for everything you both did for me and like I said yo uncle Su I'll tell you too. "
" Oh what is it. "
" After getting this revenge, I'll become the strongest Assassin even surpassing uncle Su and protect you big sis Ivy and uncle Su also. "
" You'll protect us, wooow, how cute! "
" um.. you were supposed to ask, 'Protect us from whom.' "
" Oh wait I'll do it correctly, Um Um..You'll protect us from whom exactly Ruby. "
" I'll protect you from falling in despair, I'll protect you from being lonely, I'll protect you from sadness. "
Ivy wasn't expecting such an answer, her eyes teared up seeing a young injured girl who wasn't in good condition grow into the strong, brave and beautiful girl standing infront of her.
