Nia arrived at the village alone, leaving Rose and Luna back at the Sin Mansion. It is a rule that the maids cannot follow the Sin candidates on missions, since it is their adventure and without experiencing difficulties and hardships themselves they will not be worthy of the positions they are fighting for. If the maids accompanied them then they will never have true life-death experiences.
Looking around the village it looked like it was more technologically advanced compared to Earth. Although people were walking around a lot of the stores had holograms as signs and many people were looking at their holobraces. Nia already knew where she was going since she had gotten a basic map of the village from the uninet, so she headed to the only weapon shop in the village.
Entering the weapon shop Nia saw that it was empty except for the man that looked like he was in his fifties. The man was stunned at Nia because she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen even though she was a child. While the man was lost in his own world she browsed around the store and came up to the man and asked.
"Mister those weapons are really cool!" Nia said in an very excited voice that made the man confirm his thoughts.
"Thank you little girl, but they are just the basic weapons I have more advanced ones in the back. Would you like to see?" He said gently as he closed his store for the day.
Nia bobbed her head up and down quickly to show her excitement.
"Hahaha. Okay follow me." He turn around and smiled darkly as he walked to the back. Nia followed him from behind with her magenta eyes glowing and entered the back door with him.
*Click* The door was closed from behind and before the man could turn around to act upon his dark thoughts on Nia, a knife was stabbed through his throat. He turned around in fear to see a little girl with an innocent smile and eyes full of disgust. His thought before life finally left his body was that Nia looked like the devil herself in his eyes.
'D-Demon.'
Nia whose eyes were still glowing looked at the bloody knife she swiped when the man wasn't looking as she stood above the body Nia thought, 'Elaine was right~ There is no need to feel bad for killing especially if they are leaking so much Lust out of their bodies for a little girl.'
Nia thought back to after Elaine visited them. She would secretly come visit her twice a month when she was supposed to be cultivating since she would be alone by then. After the first few meetings Nia started to look up to Elaine as a mother figure.
Nia quickly learned that Elaine is someone who has no regard for the value of life except for a select few she cares about and does not care about rules actively breaking them for her entertainment. Nia who spent time with Elaine was influenced by her making her have similar view to Elaine.
Nia's views on life similar to Elaine that the only lives that matter to her are Rose, Luna, and Elaine's. Nia has not had the chance to get closer to Cassandra and Naomi because of all the training, the only time they saw or talk to each other was when eating, so while she has some like for them it is not at a level to truly care about their lives.
She grabbed his holobrace and checked his inventory. His Inventory was the same basic rank as Nia's. She took out everything that was in it and saw it had half a slot filled with Mortal Grade low rank mana coins. After counting them it equaled to around five hundred of them.
Mana coins are made from a material that can be found in mines called Magic Ore. The coins can be used to help in cultivation but the ore cannot because the mana is to unruly and chaotic in magic ore. Mana coins are refined magic ore stabilizing the mana to allow safe absorption of the mana in the coins. The exchange ratio of mana coin ranks are that it take 1,000 low rank mana coins for 1 mid rank mana coin. 1,000 mid rank mana coins for 1 high rank mana coin, 1,000 high rank mana coins for 1 peak rank mana coin.
Nia spent the rest of the day until night going through his backroom for the advanced weapons he had.
In the weapon store Nia took inventory and selected what she thought would be needed to assassinate Chief Theo. Nia grabbed a jammer to disrupt the security systems of the chief's mansion. She found a few explosives in the forms grenades made from Rank C magic beast materials. The last thing she found was a mask to hide her face in the chance that the jammer is not strong enough to disrupt the security systems.
Opening her own Inventory Nia took out a pair of gauntlets and equipped them since that was the weapon style the orb said she had the most talent in.
Now that the sun was gone and the moon was out Nia left the weapon store and took back alleys to Chief Theo's mansion.

(A/N: I don't remember if currency was mentioned already but mana coins is the currency. They are split into separate grades and currently they will only be Mortal Grade. In each grade of mana coins they are split into the ranks of low, mid, high, peak rank mana coins.)
