Chapter 3: the big Job

looking At his data again I consider my options.

James Wesley LV 18

Title: Right hand of the Kingpin

Rep (0)

Swallowing my nervousness I finish my milk and make my way over, sitting down across from him. "Miss Dark. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I must say I had heard you were young but this is unexpected. "

he's already creeping me out.

I go to answer: "I may be a bit younger than expected, but I promise you. I'll do my Job and I'll do it well Mr ..?."

"Oh forgive my manners. I'm Derek Pliskin. And I heard you were reliable. After all, that's why I'm here. You being so young also being a reason for that actually."

He answers. He's getting creepier and has a Crappy fake name too. Sitting up I go to answer:" So what can I help you with Mr Pliskin "

He brings up his suitcase opening it up and bringing out 5 sealed and numbered envelopes and a piece of paper "this paper contains the addresses and receivers to which these corresponding letters are to be delivered. You have 5 days to complete this request and will be rewarded with twenty thousand dollars. You will also have to destroy that paper within that time frame." putting the letters into my satchel and the paper into my pocket, I think about how god damn fishy this is. 20,000$ for delivering mail. Yeah right. Thinking logically there's a possibility that the contents are too sensitive to

be sent digitally or by postal service, meaning these locations are being watched or under some investigation. So that's why they wanted me. A Small little girl entering whatever fronts these are will be seen as irrelevant. Good plan actually. He takes out a larger package "as my schedule is quite full, I won't be available to make the payment in person and would rather avoid sending a proxy. Therefore you will be paid in advance."

he says as I realise just what he is giving me. "wait, wait, wait. in advance? isn't that a bit risky with so much cash? What if I don't finish the job?" I ask.

He gives me a rather serious stare and says: " Completion of this job will be confirmed by Phone calls I will be receiving from the aforementioned locations. Should this job not be completed within the given time frame, rest assured there will be consequences. Now I believe that is all. I hope you have a good day. Should your services be satisfactory, you will be hired again." he calmly says in a jovial tone, as if he didn't just threaten a twelve-year-old. Bastard.

Quest added

Kill James Wesley for underestimating and threatening you.

Bonus objective: make it look like an accident or suicide

Rewards: 3000 Xp, 2 gacha tokens

Bonus rewards: 1 Assassin catalyst

these rewards keep getting better and better. Didn't know there was a gacha. That can end badly.

The Catalyst also has my interest. Does this mean I could summon a servant from Fate afterwords?

That would quickly change the game for me. But first things first. I have job to do. I show that bastard up. It's only 6.30. I ''m delivering all of these letters today. Not wanting to be easily recognised, I buy a hoodie, a pair of sunglasses and a cap from a department store nearby

Doesn't this technically make me more suspicious now? Who cares I'm doing this now.

3 hours later

Colleen Wing

while busy cleaning up the dojo and preparing for tomorrows students, she thinks about them and her obligations. It's already hard enough to get people to take her teachings seriously and not to see them as a hobby or self-defence method. But to convert a bunch of youths to make a major decision as joining the hand is proving quite difficult. How should she even approach such a subject with them? She shouldn't be having such pessimistic thoughts, After all, Bakuto was counting on her to do this. Lost in her thoughts she is startled by a sudden knocking at her front door obviously wondering who could be visiting when she already closed hours ago. Opening the door she is surprised to see a rather small figure clad in an oversized hoody, a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses. It's rather cute actually. What stands out about this girl is the Snow white hair hidden within her clothes. What could this Girl pos-

"You Colleen Wing?" the girl suddenly asked In a rather exhausted tone. "Yes? You were looking for me" "I am. Could we maybe talk inside, your my last stop for today." the girl says moving past her and making her way to one of the chairs while fiddling with her satchel "hey wait a second you can't just waltz in here and what do you mean I'm your last stop." Before she can ask any further questions she

is presented with a letter. She recognises the seal and font of the number on it. She just received news from the hand. But how could this child be involved. "why do you have this, who did you get them from." the girl answered "now calm down, mi just a courier. I was paid and tasked to bring this to you." A courier this young ?" wait so who even paid you to do this, could you tell me" she asked kindly. She should be able to discern just who roped a kid in with the hand. Though the answer she received was a bit different than expected. "pretty sure the guy's name was fake anyway but this was a job I did for the Hand and their partners.

What... this girl knew who she was working for... just how did this come to be. once again here Thoughts are interrupted. "so what do you teach here? " "what... you mean the dojo ?"

"Yup" the girl pops out. Once again rather cute. Colleen goes to answer:" mainly Karate, Jujitsu, Kempo and Kenjutsu. I also offer Kendo lessons" "pretty cool. Is it possible for me to sign up? But you know without becoming a ninja for the hand when I'm done "

Just how much does this kid know. "I'm of course willing to pay quite a bit for the lesson and if you want, I could help convince my fellow students to join if you'd like." once again what. "I..ah... if you're serious about this I wouldn't mind teaching you and... if you could help with the second thing id really appreciate it." "really. great I'll see you tomorrow. By the way, don't mention me or any of this to your superiors. K? And don't forget to call that number in the letter OK. See you tomorrow Colleen." "Hey wait a second, I don't even know … your ...name".. and she's gone.

What the hell just happened?

Jeanne Dark

Well that was easy

Relationship with Colleen Wing +40

Obedience with Colleen Wing+ 10

Manipulation levelled up to 71

Charm increased by 8

should have seen that coming.

15 minutes earlier

Running around Manhattan all day was very exhausting. Especially when all the locations were on equally distanced from one another. She's gonna make that four-eyed bastard choke on his blood when his time came. At least all this effort didn't go to waste considering what I gained from it.

From continuous running you have gained +6 VIT and +4 Dex

Sprint has levelled up to LV 28

Increases your speed by 80% when active ( uses 50MP/s)

Observe Levelled up to 56

very nice indeed.

I see you've been busy. You made quite a bit of progress.

But I have to ask. Why didn't you use some kind of public transportation instead of literally Running everywhere?

Because I didn't think of it...

It would seem we both have those moments.

It does indeed,

Now then. Cool that your back by the way. You've got some good timing cause I need your help

I'm about to reach my last stop todayand she happens to be the only person I know anything about.

Her name's Colleen Wing. She runs a Dojo as a front for Recruitment by the Hand. You know those ancient ninjas who also have a big crime syndicate here in America. That's pretty much all I remember about them at least. The good thing is, that our darling colleen is pretty ignorant of their true nature. She probably does it due to her crush for her superior Bakuto. I'm getting sidetracked. The Point is, she's a good person doing bad, thinking she's doing good while also being quite naive.

I.E. a perfect target for Psychological manipulation.

So where do I come in?

Is it possible to merge skills? Specifically, acting and lying?

Here you go

Skill merge LV max (merges 2 or more skills creating a new one. Origin skills can be destroyed to add their Xp to the newly formed skill)

this is perfect. Skill merge Lying and acting. Destroy skills.

Skill Manipulation LV 1 created.

Ability to manipulate and convince people for your own gain.

Manipulation levelled to 67 (Lying and Acting destroyed)

Well, then I guess its showtime. I slowly approach the Chikara Dojo. Looking for a vantage point I climb up the opposing buildings Fire escape until I see our darling Colleen sweeping the floor of her Dojo. Let see what our new Observe can do.

Colleen Wing LV 32

I knew observe would pay off. Looks like I have an opening to exploit. I can read people's surface thoughts. This thing is seriously great.

SYSTEM have I mentioned that I love you?

Why thank you very much, Jeanne. I didn't know you felt that way

Relationship with SYSTEM +15 (60)

You know what I meant,and shouldn't I get something for reaching 50 with you?

Oh, you will, but it's a bit overpowered so I'm holding it back for now.

Maybe reach LV 50 first.

Fair enough. I'll hold you to that. Shall we make an impression on dear miss Wing?

You do that.

Present time

like I said. Perfect target for some good manipulation.

Why did you want to take lessons here though?

Don't you mean why wouldn't I? Not only do I get martial arts and sword training, I also get brand new targets to max out my Manipulation skill.

You planned this through huh.

Well of course... don't I get an INT point?...please?

Fine

For thinking things through INT+3

Thank you darling.…. well, I'm beat. Time to see my apartment. And get some food, cause gluttony is acting up.

1 hour later Jeanne's Apartment

not to bad for an orphan, but still not that good. Those were my thoughts entering the apartment consisting of a bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. No hot water apparently. Yayyy...

another thing I notice is the 3 fully stocked fridges in the kitchen. Good old Gluttony ey. Don't worry, i be using you for your true purpose soon enough. After devouring half of one fridge contents, I make my way to my bed. One last time "Status"

Satisfied with today's events I start thinking of the future and the choices I should take.

Personally, I think I should either usurp the current criminal establishment and establish myself as the new Crime lord of New York. Would that make me the Queen pin?

Alternatively, I focus on training making sure I could compete with marvels Heavy hitters early on.

Though it might be better to lay low for now. A sudden burst of magical growth will certainly be detected.

For tomorrow I'm planning to research this world I'm in. I've got to know how much of my knowledge even applies to this World.

That's enough of that now. I'm tired. Goodnight SYSTEM... and … well... Thank you for giving me a second life.

Goodnight Jeanne. And you're very welcome.
