Art followed Naomi back to the cafe and sat at one of the chairs in the break room.
"What happened?" Was the first thing that came out of Naomi's mouth.
Art looked at Naomi and said "That should be my line"
"I promise to tell you everything if you tell us how you got in that situation and how you defeated them." Naomi said with a serious expression. Art wondered what had happened with the happy Naomi that was always laughing.
"Sure. It was pretty simple. They surrounded me. I looked at the one who looked to be the weakest of them and punched him in the face and he got knocked out. The next person was ready for my punch but wasn't expecting a kick right in his stomach. The last person I took out was trying to kick me but I rolled away and kicked him in the balls and then they transformed so I started to run but was captured.
Naomi Nodded and looked at Mary with a smile and a fire burning in her eyes. Mary, who knew what she was thinking asked "Are you really sure boss? He's just 16"
"Oh I'm sure" She answered with a big smile and looked at Art.
"Art, do you want to join us and get so much money that you never need to worry about it again?" Naomi asked.
"What does the job entail?" Art asked as if he was offered a normal job offer.
"To kill," Naomi said with a smile.
Art looked at her with big eyes and thought "I can't accept right?" but after some time of thinking he realized that just today someone had tried to kill him.
Art looked at Naomi and asked "How much money are we talking about?" Naomi looked at him with an even bigger smile than she had before "It depends on the person but usually around 100,000 coins per head. As Art had heard the amount he shined up even more than Naomi and immediately accepted.
He could buy a new place for him and Stacy to stay in and still have about half left.
Mary, who stood on the side shook her head and sighed "The life of an assassin isn't as easy as it sounds."
Art who became really happy asked "Who else is working with you? "Everyone who works at the cafe is with us and we have one more member but she's currently enrolled at the Magic and Beast academy.
"What is the Magic and Beast academy?" Art asked Naomi but it wasn't her that answered. Mary started speaking "The academy is a place for beast's and mages to train to become great fighters."
Art, who hadn't heard of the academy before, was surprised that they had a school to learn how to fight. The fights on the streets are everywhere and are a big problem.
"Do you have plans on Saturday?" Naomi asked. Art shook his head "Good. Then let's go and get you acquainted with the ones in charge of The Guild. Art had no clue who they were but didn't ask because he would know soon enough. Naomi and Mary informed him about the last things he needed to know before saying goodbye.
When Art had left Mary asked Naomi "Are you sure he's up for the job?"
"I am more than sure. Steven used the same training program you and Carol were given when you first started and he was very happy with the results."
Mary thought about her time when she was training and shivered "Yes boss."
Art walked through the streets and looked up in the sky and saw that the sun would still be up for another 3 hours so he got to a bench and sat down. He thought about everything that had happened to him over the past week and eventually it had passed one hour and he got 10 exp from being in the sun. When he got the message he started walking home and got the other 10 from the sun on his way.
Art heard a voice in his head announce his level up
[You have leveled up to Level 3]
[You have gained 3 stat points]
Art immediately took up his stats
[Name Art Ward]
[Age: 16]
[Level: 3]
[Race: Mortal Human]
[Class: None]
[Exp 0/300]
[HP 150/150]
[Strength: 9]
[Agility: 10]
[Stamina: 12]
[Intelligence: 8]
[Endurance: 17]
[Stat points: 3]
[Skills]
Art confirmed a few things. One his HP goes up by 25 points every level. Two he gets three points to freely put in as he wants and third he doesn't get skills at every level. Art was happy about the part about health as he knew how important it was.
Art thought about where to put all of his stat points and was about to put all of them in strength as he did last time but instead chose to put two into inelegance and one into strength.
[Strength: 10]
[Intelligence: 10]
When Art was done he walked home and got some sleep.
The next two days were nothing special. Art trained with Steven and got more agility, Stamina and endurance.
When Art woke up on the morning of Saturday he was excited to finally start his new job.
