Adhitte moved very quickly to pull the dagger from her storage. She did not hesitate to ask the system for additional missions.
"Hey, I'm supposed to get a side quest, right?" Adhitte let out words that the thugs in her section did not understand.
[Your conditions are met!]

Although the system crashed frequently, it still helped Adhitte. That woman grinned and began to advance in front of the thugs.
Slash!
One thug fell after Adhitte quickly slashed his shoulder. The five thugs were not expecting that move.
"Argh! It hurts!" The thug who Adhitte had injured cried out in pain while holding his shoulder. One of his friends, who was fine, approached that injured man.
"Hey, who can unleash such speed other than an assassin? He's not the Young Master of a noble family, be careful!"
The three remaining people immediately got ready to attack. Adhitte tried to play his dagger and signaled them to advance.
The two thugs advanced first, aiming for Adhitte's body. They seemed to want to grab her body. Fortunately, Adhitte quickly dodged, making that two men collide instantly.
Brugh!
"Aw! Damn it, keep your eyes open!"
"You who should keep your eyes open! Can't you see I'm coming at him from the opposite direction?"
That two thugs made a fuss of their own. Adhitte was slightly amused by that two men. Then she approached and said, "Are you done arguing?"
The two immediately turned their attention back to Adhitte. Unfortunately, Adhitte broke their hands quickly.
Krak!
"Aw! Aw! It hurts! Let go of me!"
"Chief! Help us!"
[You leveled up!]
Adhitte watched the two people who seemed to have a leader. There was only one person left, and Adhitte believed that this person was their leader.
She approached that person. There was no way the leader in question was the one who helped the thugs he first attacked. It was definitely the last one left.
However, Adhitte felt something was strange. The person he believed to be the leader had a body that trembled violently. He didn't even move at all from where he stood because he was trembling so much.
"W-we were wrong! Please forgive us, Young Master." The chief thug immediately bowed towards her.
Adhitte couldn't believe it. Why were those thugs so cowardly? Even their bodies were so thin. He thought of Arthur.
"Which guild are you from? Is your boss one of my enemies?" Adhitte asked as if he were a member of another guild.
That chief thug shook his head vigorously. "No, Young Master, we do not have a guild that houses us."
'What a suck thugs, it's only fitting that you don't have any sense of courage.'
[Side quest has been completed successfully!]
[The reward has been sent to your account!]
Adhitte looked at the notification. She felt a little annoyed that she had only leveled up a little. Then she said, "Do you know where the monster battle arena is?"
Clinch!
The chief thug was surprised at the question. He looked around first before approaching Adhitte. Of course that woman told him not to come any closer and kept talking at that distance.
"That is an illegal fighting venue. Young Master, do you want to do gambling there?" The chief thug spoke very carefully even though they were in a dead-end alley.
Adhitte grinned and took something out of his pocket. It was a token that had been cracked. The token made the chief thug widen his eyes, indicating he recognized the token.
The wind made the hood covering Adhitte's head fall down. At that moment, the head thug saw Adhitte's true appearance. Red eyes with jet black hair holding a token, it must be the famous nobleman who had fallen first.
"I'm back from the run. I'm a slave of that arena, now I should return home, right?"
***
[The hostile aura feels very strong!]
[Be careful not to trigger the assassination quest!]
[New areas will be added to the map!]
[Level up to unlock map features!]
Adhitte looked at the notification that was still very noisy. She knew that when shee entered the large wall behind which there was a battle arena, there was only the word kill or be killed.
The thugs had only escorted her to the gate. They ran away as soon as they saw the arena guards.
The guards even pulled Adhitte away without a signal. It was as if he already knew she was coming and brought her inside.
Adhitte looked around inside. She was taken to the rest area, not the venue. As they walked, there were only a few rooms with cells as doors.
A few men who were bleeding heavily were left behind. Some teenagers were crying while holding weapons in their cells. There were others who didn't care about their surroundings and continued to eat with bruised bodies.
Adhitte didn't care about them at all. Because they were none of his business. Her task there was only to look for evidence that Crown Prince Xavier supported the illegal place no matter what form his support took.
The two guards further pulled Adhitte roughly into a different hallway, this time with metal doors on some sides instead of cells. However, hearing a strange sound from the metal, Adhitte knew what was behind the metal.
"Monsters, huh?" Adhitte muttered, ignoring the two guards.
They arrived at a room that had two doors with a luxurious feel. There were several servants in sexy outfits guarding the place.
Knock! Knock!
"Sir, we have arrived. As you might have guessed, sir, there are rats who dare to come here."
After receiving the order to enter, the two guards immediately pushed Adhitte to enter. Their treatment was really rude.
Brugh!
Adhitte was pushed to the ground. She could have fought back, but her plan would have failed then. She could see four sexy women surrounding an old man.
An old man with a full black left eye. It was like there was contaminated mana. Adhitte was a little surprised by the old man's appearance.
"It turns out there really was a female rat that got in. Looking at your red eyes and black hair, you seem to be a descendant of Count Newt." The old man guessed.
He continued, "What's the matter? Are you surprised that I know you are a woman?"
The two guards were immediately shocked at their master's words. They had thought that the person brought was a man.
"No, sir. According to the rumors, Lord Kasry is so great that he can predict the future. I am very honored to meet you again." Adhitte flattered that man despite inwardly feeling disgusted.
The old man called Lord Kasry felt rather annoyed. "You caused trouble for the people at the brothel by running away. Now, you'd rather disguise yourself as a man? It's still no use. Bring this rat to the brothel again!"
The two guards simply nodded. They immediately pulled Adhitte's arm to get up. But, they did not realize Adhitte's next move.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Stab!
Slash!
"Blood! Blood!"
"Aaaaa! Scary!"
The sexy women screamed at the sight of the spurting blood. They immediately hid behind the sofa Lord Kasry was sitting on. Even the old man showed an uncomfortable expression.
"You think I grew up just spreading my thighs to men, sir? No, after I ran away as a child, I lived in the forest and became an assassin. See? Even your two guards who seem to have a mid-level aura, fell without a fight." Adhitte mocked the two guards.
Lord Kasry visibly growled. That man immediately shouted. "Guardian! Bring troops to capture this 017!"
'Oh, so the fighters and showgirls are called by numbers? It's amazing that this old man doesn't think of them as humans.'
***
[You were arrested for not doing the quest properly!]
[It's likely that the world will help you!]
[You can get out in a few hours by doing a new quest!]
Currently, Adhitte was being held in a room with a cell door. Her feet were chained by magic chains, and she willingly allowed herself to be detained. She could easily get out of there.
It was late at night, most of the people from the other cells were already asleep. However, the night turned out to be very noisy because there was a child who kept crying.
Until finally, someone from another cell expressed his frustration. "Kid, can you be quiet? Crying won't change anything. We've been here since you were your age. Instead of crying, you should think about how to survive."
Adhitte watched that man from a distance. There were the numbers 086 on the upset man's cell door. The scolded little boy had the number 437 on his door.
"You're newbie, huh?"
Adhitte looked over at the person who had engaged her in conversation. That person was right in the cell next to her. It was the man who had been eating with indifference to his surroundings all afternoon.
