It's been four months since the three of them had been training in the Assassinations Department.
They would enhance their endurance, but then Gautam introduced a new way to train in increasing their patience, and this sadist went and have their whole arms coated with honey and they would look for an anthill to let them bite in their arms as they still try to practice their calligraphy!
This wasn't what was supposed to be one of the training programs but since they progress quite fast, Gautam was tasked by the Department Commander, to give them a new training program, to which he did!
For weeks their arms were covered by ant bites!
Although they trashed talked and cursed Gautam, they still gritted their teeth and persevered in the training.
And today, Gautam had told the three of them yesterday to get ready as they would be having a trial mission!
---
"Alright! You three ready?!"
""Yes sir!!"
The three enthusiastically answered.
They have been training and was suppressed, bullied and sadistically half tortured!
Now they want some action!
One where they would win! Not one sidedly beaten up!!
"Okay! First! This is just a trial mission! It won't be tallied to your mission accomplishments so you don't need to worry if you guys fail!"
"Who's failing?!!!"
Marco talked back at Gautam who just laughed.
"Hahha! Well, now! Now! As you all know, this forest is home to various animals and even magical beasts!
Aaannnddd!!!! For you guys' mission! We have found a B rank Magical Beast in the west side of the forest!"
"???"
"It has been living in that area for more than two months now!
And because is is a B rank Magical Beast, it's power should be around at the top level of an Elite but! But! Maybe at the Master level!
It is a Tiger species and it's huge so you guys should be able to identify it easily!
Aaannnnnnndddd-"
"Stop with the long ass and!"
Before Gautam could finish, Marco with a tic in his head shouted.
"Hahaha! Well, since we are an assassin department, obviously our job is to kill, efficiently and silently!
So I will be observing you guys on how you deal with this creature! And remember! If you guys are caught on by the beast first before you can initiate your plan of attack, that's a minus point! If you guys have to fight it in a prolonged battle, that would be a minus points!"
"And?! What if we really are caught on and had a prolonged battle with that tiger?!"
Akai asked.
"Hehehehe! You know!!"
"!!!"
"This asshole!"
They knew that Gautam once again had a new way of punishing or more like torturing them, so they looked at each others eyes and they could see the determination to finish this mission efficiently and effective!
"Oh! On the side note! You guys don't have to feel bad by that beast, it has been identified that it had killed quite a few people in the road and in this forest, so you guys can think of it as a kill on sight target okay?!"
""Yes sir!""
"Good! Now go!!"
*Swoooshhh!!!
*Swoooshhh!!!!
-----
They ran silently in the forest going to west area where Gautam had told them.
With the enchantment of the robes, they just put a steady stream of ki in it and it made them a bit blurry as well as have most of their actions nearly muted!
Unless they actively cause a loud sound or like stepped on a twig which would create a loud noise, they are pretty much silent!
*Swoooshhh!!
Though you can still hear the minute swoosh of the wind whizzing past you, it could also be accounted as a breeze!
Eiji couldn't help but marvel at the robe.
'This really is a good treasure! Very fitting for an ambush and assassinations!'
*Swoosh!
Suddenly, Marco in front signaled them to stop.
Talking in a whisper, he said.
"It's there in the cave! Sleeping!"
Akai and Eiji nodded.
"So what's the plan?!"
"Hmm..."
"It might have just finished eating which would be very helpful for us as that would mean it is in deep sleep right now, but I don't see any fresh carcass or anything resembling that, so it might just be resting and might even be looking for a prey when it wakes up!"
Marco told to the three of them.
"Then.. how about.. the Gautam ambush plan? It's a good plan which suits us three!"
Akai suggested.
The Gautam Ambush plan, was created by the three of them over the last few months wanting to take down the evil demon Gautam!
But alas, they would always fell short, they succeeded in making him draw his katana, but when he does, it was over for the three of them!
"I guess that's a fine plan! We always do that and since we're familiar with that tactic, we can adjust when the situation gets awry!"
Eiji added.
The other two nodded their heads.
*Swoosh!
Within this deep forest, there are a lot of shadows!
Akai easily used his Blood Sword Powers in this terrain!
On the other side, Yami Marco also slowly approached the tiger den, waiting for an opportunity.
While Eiji just stood in his place, still hidden but enough to see the whole situation in the battle!
Slowly.
Slowly.
And slowly they approached the den!
Then!
*Swoosh!!!
"RROOOAARRRRR!!!!!!!!"
A resounding roar echoed out in the west side of the forest!
*End Of Chapter.
