Turning back to the board to look at what the kid had dropped, his eyes widened...
Notice!
Guardian Knight wanted for the Youngest Master, Amon Gates of the Gates family.
There are Five papers in total, that will be the ticket to guarantee you a spot to be accessed.
Only one will be chosen...The pay? 1000 Gold per month.
..Without even a second to think it through, Yusuf took the paper, leaving only four left on the notice board, the other Knights seeing his actions and as well curious on what the Youngest master had put on the board came closer to read.
Yusuf using that moment to leave the Knight association, went straight home to check in on his sister. Upon arriving into the house, he saw an unexpected guest in there but this time without his guard.
"Youngest Master, Amon...what are you doing here?" Yusuf said, indicating clearly to Gates that his level of secrecy towards his sister was at its maximum, with her believing that he was just a Knight.
"Ah, you don't remember inviting me concerning that subject of topic we had discussed before?" Gates said, knowing quite well all about Yusuf and his sister.
Yusuf stared dumbfounded at the audacity of this kid, however he calmed down and thought through this situation, if the kid came here alone, then he was confident that I wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Coming to such a conclusion that would be the most probable,
"Let's speak in private, Laura can you give us a moment?" Yusuf said as he gestured for his sister to go into the other room which she did without a complaint.
As soon as the door was shut, Yusuf turned to Gates with a look of anger,
"How dare you come into my home?"
"How dare you try to kill me?" Gates retorted, a smile evident on his face.
"That was a job, you come to my home with plans of what? Threatening me?" Yusuf said as he casted a sound cancellation field alike to the one he did before.
"Oh, if I wanted to threaten you, you'd know. However, you call this a home?" Gates said looking around before looking back at Yusuf.
"And? You call that sorry excuse of people your family?" Yusuf countered as Gates shook his head, holding the smile on his face.
"Touché, in any case, since it was a job, I won't hold you to it, however, I have a new job for you. If and only if you tell me what I asked for." Gates said, watching Yusuf intensely.
Without much more to argue with and having fulfilled his end of the deal, its only right that he too fulfil his own.
"I don't know who exactly, but I'm sure it's not your sister. It's definitely one of your brothers. My thoughts would be your older brother, he has the means and the connections to establish a connection to me." Yusuf said as he told Gates his assumption.
As an assassin, disclosing your clients identity causes your integrity to go low, but seeing as this was a special case and honestly, quite frankly, he did not care...Seeing his sister well, no, even more healthy that she'd ever been was much more important to him than some integrity as an assassin.
Now that she had been cured, he wouldn't need the identity as Ghost anymore. This served its purpose and win the Family head of the Gates family looking for him, it would only be a matter of time before those skilled enough would link him and Ghost together if Ghost were to appear once more.
"Hm, I see...This would definitely be difficult." Gates said as he thought of how to handle his Eldest brother if push came to shove.
"No matter, I just wanted my suspicions to not be baseless. So have you decided to work for me? Exclusively." Gates asked Yusuf.
"Exclusively? You mean the Guardian Knight job worth a thousand gold coins per month? Anyone would be out of their minds to reject." Yusuf said as he put down the field, feeling as though the magic contract has finally gone invalid, from both parties fulfilling their conditions.
"Yes, however you still have to fight against other Knights to keep your position, although you are the favored one, I can't do anything if they beat you up for the position." Gates warned as he walked towards Yusuf.
"Ah, and if you in particular manage to win, I'll give you a room large enough for you and your sister to share, of course with you as my Knight and your sister as a maid in the Manor.." Gates dropped the bait....however he wasn't hoping to give all these gifts without an expectation in return..
"But, I want you to show them what a magic Knight can do. Don't worry too much there is nothing they can link you to your underworld identity with....just used some enhancement spells and enchantment spells on your sword or something..."
"You want to make alot of people agitated and also throw some things off our backs for what we are about to do?" Yusuf assumed and questioned knowing that the kid could not do anything without being sure of his next actions...so if he requested something like this, it meant there was something else he had his eyes on, and wanted to use this as a distraction.
"Ah, in the end it is very sweet to work with someone smart and yes indeed, I have plans I've made that cannot be trusted by just anyone...That and you will be necessary for what I want to do." Gates said to Yusuf as he stopped in front of him, his very words making Yusuf take a deep breathe, feeling such intensity from a kid the same age as his sister.
Reaching out his hand to Yusuf, Gates was sure that he would be able to recruit this guy, and he was sure that his mana was the same as a mid ranked mage from the combination of his and that of the tenfold orcs own.
"What do you say?"
