After having a really good dinner made by Ivy, the 3 of them sat together to discuss what had just happened. Ruby, who was given the task to kill a boar, which was already supposed to be pretty hard for her but somehow she did the impossible and defeated a bear. Not in a million year would Su had ever imagined that Ruby would do something like this. But because Ruby now had proved herself, with how much damage she took while defeating the bear, Su now will have a better sense of how strong Ruby currently is.
Ruby defeated a bear with just a few scratches on her body, even though she physically was still weaker than a bear, she some how killed a bear. This made it clear to Su that he made the right choice to train Ruby to his successor.
" Ruby would you care to explain now how you were able to umm.. you know.. un alive that bear, if you know what I mean. " said Ivy
" I do know the word 'Kill' so you can use it in the sentence big sis Eletha. " said Ruby
" I know Ruby, but you are still a child. " said Ivy
" I'm not a child anymore, I've grown up now, call me Grown up Ruby from now on. " said Ruby
" Ehh~ what kind of name is that. " Said Ivy and they both started laughing.
" Well if you girl done talking and laughing, will you explain us how did you kill that bear? " asked Su.
" I won't say it was easy but I don't think it was hard. When I got hit, I thought it's over for me but strangely it didn't hurt at all. My body instead of screaming in pain, it was filled with excitement. My fear of dying turned into enjoyment and suddenly I was enjoying every moment of it. I don't actually remember what happened after that, but all I remember was that I was smiling. " answered Ruby honestly.
" Hmm... interesting... I never thought I'll hear this from a kid. " said Su.
" What happend dad? " asked Ivy
" Oh! nothing don't mind me. " answered Su.
" So that how I killed the bear. " said Ruby.
" hmm... I seem to have understand at what stage you are on and I guess you will reach the top pretty soon. " said Su.
" Waaaah, maybe I'm super amazing, but uncle Su, I was thinking about this for a while. "
" What? "
" isn't it illegal to kill another person, don't people get in trouble for doing that. "
" Yes it is illegal to kill people and you can get in trouble if you get caught. "
" aaaaah!!? "
" But you won't get in trouble if it's your job. "
" What do you mean? "
" I'll be turing you into an S rank Assassin. "
" An Assassin~ "
" You seem to be happy about becoming an Assassin. "
" What are Assassin? "
" IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THEN WHY WERE YOU IMPRESSED!!? "
" It sounded amazing. "
" Aaaah! You hopeless brat! Well they are amazing. Assassin are people who kills other people as their job. In olden time Assassin were able to be hired by anyone as long as they have money, but it was an illegal business. As time went on, many kings started to train personal Assassins in their armies to kill anyone who they think are bad and gradually government came and Assassins are now used by government to kill corrupt people. "
" So they are good people. "
" Yes, they are... sometimes. "
" But how am I gonna be one. "
" There is a school for it, as long as you graduate from that school, government will have to hire you, but you can also be scouted early on in your school days if you perform well. "
" So If I did good, I won't have to stay in the school till I graduate! "
" No you'll still have to graduate, being scouted will get you to upper ranks of assassin. "
" I don't think I'll be able to take anymore information or my brain will go boom boom. "
" Well I'll tell you about the school another time, so the main task is to clear its entrance exam. "
" Exam!!? "
" Don't worry, you'll just have to study about basic anatomy of human and some physics behind the killing techniques. "
" So when is the exam? "
" it was last month. "
" Whaaaaaat!!? I failed already- "
" Wait! the exam is already over but It happens once every 6 months so its okey. And since it's age limit is from 15 and 16 years, I was gonna make you take the exam next year but after the bear incident I think you'll be ready till the next exam which is in 5 months. "
" Oh you knew my birthday is next month and I'll be turing 15!? how!? I'm soo happy someone remembers my birthday. "
" Actually I was just gonna lie about your age in the participation form but yaaay it's your birth next month so our plan is already heading the right way. "
" I'm pretty sad but why do you know so much uncle Su? it almost seems like you were assassin. "
" Well yes I was an assassin, didn't I tell you. "
" You never told me!!! "
" I'm a old man now so I must have forgotten to tell you. keeping that aside- "
" No No No No! No keeping that aside, tell me all about it. "
" There is nothing much to tell. "
" Why did you stop working! is it because you got old!!? "
" Hey stop being mean to me! "
" Dad just tell her about your past, she'll understand. "
" Ivy but- "
" No but dad, just tell her. "
" Yes uncle Su, tell me. "
" Okey..
when I was small- "
" What uncle Su!!? You were small!!? "
" Don't interept my story, well where was I? yeah
When I was small, I used to live in a town with a huge population, I used to play with a girl near me. she was my best friend, during one of my school events, I got scouted by government and was given opportunity to become a Assassins. since my family wasn't good financially and the government offered a really good salary I got into the assassin school at the age of 10. "
" Wow you got in at the age of 10!! "
" Yaa, I had to leave my best friend but we kept in touch, sending letters to each other. I graduated at the age of 15 and was assigned the rank A, after many missions I was promoted to rank S at the age of 17 and Rank SS at the age of 18, and the Rank which no one reached, I got the rank SSS at the age 20. "
" wow uncle Su, you were making history!! it's soo exciting! "
" After becoming an SSS Rank Assassin I was given only a few hand-selected missions from the head of the government and on one of those mission I was able to meet Ivy's mom a.k.a. my wife. I fell in love with her and soon I began to worry for her safety. If someone finds out about me she will be the first person they will target, or if government goes in the hands of wrong people, they can just kill me and everyone who knew me to keep their secrets safe. "
" So it's very dangerous tooo. "
" Don't be scared brat, I made sure to have some tricks up the sleeves. "
" Like? "
" Like if I die, their secrets would be broadcasted to the entire world. "
" Coooool!!! "
" I know right, so I got married and settled down in the town where I used to live before, there I got to meet my best friend again and she told me that she will take care of my wife when I'm away. My best friend took care of my wife soo amazingly that I was worried that my wife will be snatched by her. "
" Oooo I wish I could meet your best friend. "
" You can't. "
" Why? "
" She died. "
" Is that so... I'm sorry. "
" Don't be, it happened because I was too focused in my work and never paid attention to other's problem. "
" what happend? "
" After sometime in the town, my wife got pregnant with Ivy in her stomach. I wasn't there much for her and my best friend took care of her. but I didn't seem to noticed that she had her own problems too. "
" what were her problems? "
" She had a guy she liked and wanted to marry him but her family eas against it as they had already arranged her marriage with some rich guy, she was being forced by her family to marry that guy so that they'll get money. it was almost like they were selling their own daughter. And I didn't knew about it so I wasn't able to help her. I wish I would have been there for her the same way she was there for me. "
" She seems a really good person. "
" Yaa she was, During my wife's delivery month I was called to a mission, and my wife was in the care of my best friend. My wife died while giving birth. I was sad when I heard it but I think my best friend was more sad then me since she was the one who was the most close with my wife. My best friend took care of Ivy till I returned, and when I returned she gave Ivy to me and she ran away from her house the next day. I tried to get information on her but I wasn't able to find anything. Then I found out what happened after questioning her family and I was just feeling like shit, I don't even wanna describe that feeling.
I lost my best friend and my wife...
I lost 2 most important people in my life because I was too focused in my work, so being afraid that I might lose Ivy too, I quit the job, left the town and became a farmer. "
" But you told me your best friend is dead- "
" After many years, I found out that in a small village my best friend and her husband died in an accident. I was totally devastated but I was happy that she atleast got to marry her love and live atleast few days of happiness. "
" Uncle Su you have such a tragic past I am sorry of I ever hurt you. "
" Stop it brat! you hurt me like everyday being mean to me. "
" I'm soooory~"
" Ya ya, well look at the time, you go and sleep now, from tomorrow you'll be training for five months straight. "
" Whole 5 months straight!!? "
" Yaaa, and I will be training you in the morning and Ivy will teach you in the night. "
" Whaaaat!!? "
" Yep, so you better get a good night sleep today, this is the only night that you will rest. "
" I'll get going. "
Ruby went to her bedroom as fast as she could to get the best rest of her life.
" Dad I know you are gonna give her breaks everyweek. "
" She won't sleep if I don't say it like that. "
" Don't get me wrong but why didn't you tell her about 'That' ? "
" I'm not sure if I should tell her about that, I think she'll hate me if I hold her about that, she'll think that I'm just a heartless person. "
" Well you were heartless weren't you Mr world's first SSS Rank Assassin, Code Name The Devil. "
" I don't like being called that. "
" It's an honor, not everyone gets it. "
" I know but yet it feels like hell thinking about all the bad doings I did as a Assassin. Like the times I had to kill innocent childrens or killing someone infront of their kids so that the kids goes crazy. "
" I think you should have cut your ties with that work instead of creating another human killing machine and passing your responsibility to her. "
" Do you think that I don't wanna get away from it, but after spending almost my entire life doing it, I can't just let it go like it was never there. "
" So when are you going to tell Ruby about 'That' ? "
" After her training, before she leaves for the academy, I'll tell her everything. "
