This was a request from Guest

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Azuruko sometimes wondered if he had made the right choice, that accepting Ace as a charge was a good idea. He was young, but had an extreme talent for this kind of work, better than he had ever seen before. It had taken time when he was younger, before he got his emotions in check, but after he had, he could easily picture Ace as an amazing assassin when he got older.

Ace was only 14 now, but he was still an amazing and talented fighter, he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and managed to learn amazingly fast, somethings he even grasped way before any of the other he worked with. When He had learned Ace how to lockpick, after seeing it might be needed and the kid had almost torn his entire thumb off, he was prepared for it to take weeks. Lockpicking was hard and took a lot of skill.

But Ace, he had managed to grasp it within a day.

No, he couldn't lockpick anything hard or a tricky lock, but he could easily open regular door, chains, chests and so on. When Trevor found that out, he had been mad and jealous, he had used almost 3 weeks to get to where Ace had been after a day.

Ace was skilled, if Azuruko dared to say it, he would say Ace was born to be an assassin. He had everything an assassin needed and more. He would have no issues, even without his devil fruit, Ace would have done amazingly. Someone with that big of a talent as Ace, was rare to find.

Azuruko looked up from his desk when his door opened and Ace came inside.

Azuruko gave a chuckle, seeing Ace had used his lockpicking skills to get into Raidens room, seeing as he held his favorite sword. Ace and Raiden were friends of sorts, or more like Ace annoying Raiden at every chance he got. Ace might be an assassin, but he was still a kid. The best part was that Raiden usually took the bait and continued their game, which Ace loved.

When Ace came closer, he sat down in the spare chair next to him. ¨What are you doing?¨ Azuruko handed him some folders that laid out in front of him. ¨Checking these over to see if I find anything about Hirohito.¨ Ace nodded and took the files, checking them over. Azuruko had learned the kid to spot hidden information in text and trusted Ace with this job, to help him search for this sick thing of a man, who they just had gotten a name on. All they needed now was to find him and take him out. As time went by and Azuruko decided to take a break after almost 2 hours, he looked over to the chair Ace was in and had to give a chuckle at seeing him.

Ace had moved so he lay upside down, feet up on the backrest, back on the seat and head hanging over the edge as one hand held a folder, the other held the sword he had gotten, turning it in his hand.

Sometimes one could easily see Aces age, especially when they were doing small tedious work like this. As he chuckled, Ace looked at him, head tilting sideways. Azuruko lifted an eyebrow at seeing him in that position, to which Ace just shrugged. Azuruko shook his head. ¨How about a break?¨ Ace gave a nod, placing the folder on the desk before stretching, still lying upside down. When he had stretched, Ace placed his hands on the ground and moved his body forward and did a somersault to a standing position.

Ace held the sword he had taken over his shoulder, waiting for him to also stand up.

Azuruko gave a shake of the head again, standing up. ¨You going to take the sword with you?¨ Ace nodded, smiling a sly smile. ¨If I still have it in 3 hours, I win the sword.¨ Azuruko lifted an eyebrow, Raiden had let Ace already have it for at least 2 hours. ¨And what does he think about that?¨

Ace gave a shrug, starting the walk out of the room. ¨Don't know yet, he hasn't said no to the note I placed in his room yet.¨ Azuruko started to follow his young charge. ¨And why haven't he answered?¨ Ace gave a grin. ¨He may or may not be a bit tied up in some things.¨ Azuruko gave a chuckle. It wasn't the first time Ace had managed to tie the man up. His powers really came in handy to prank others and Ace really enjoyed it. And it was good training, Raiden was one of the fastest here, to get him was an achievement.

Azuruko did sometimes regret taking Ace in. But other times he was glad he did.

And that was the chapter, hope you enjoyed.

I know it might have been a bit boring, but I will have more of Azuruko and Ace as everything progresses, this was just a small introduction of sorts.
