"Italic" (Thinking)
Ch1: A bit different from normal
It was a sunny day, Orario the center of the world was buzzling with noise as always adventurers and normal workers could be seen within the city going about there day as anyone would, this city housed the Dungeon, the monster spreading hell that would ironically supply the world of one of its greatest resource magic stones these stones were the thing that would make the world go round its usability as a power source had limits, but only those smart enough to use its power could harness its greatness. The city itself was most well known for Heroes at least, once there were heroes, back then the strongest familias known as the Hera and Zeus were renowned as heroes back then the people had loved them, they took on the 3 Legendary Quest where these heroes would have to slay the Behemoth, Leviathan and the One-Eyed Black Dragon (OEBD). These heroes prevailed at the first 2 great Quest but failed at the 3rd one and almost all of them were killed fighting the OEBD, the heroes were beaten and to top that of, the people who they protected who they gave strength at their time of need had shunned and blamed them for there lost. The heroes were hated, to the eyes of the public they were fools or perhaps losers. While the Hera and Zeus familia were beaten and bruised others found opportunity. The Loki and Freya familia saw the opportunity to take control, with there combined forces and the voice of the public the Heroes once great and strong were outcasted force to leave the city that they have protected, they left never to be seen again.

At the gates of Orario a long line outside its walls could be seen, there many people different in age, race, color and desires had come to enter the city to seek fame, fortune and for some a dream. In that line stood a young man he wore a hip-length brown coat with a small black patch on the right side above his chest along with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath, he had black pants, a beige belt with a silver buckle, and brown shin-high boots. His hair was snow white and his eyes was ruby red.
"Next!" a guard yelled with authority, with this yell Bell smiled, Bell arrived at the gates of Orario at 6 in the morning and he waited outside in the line for 2 hours so of course he was exited to enter the gates of Orario and now the only thing in his way is a brief interview with the guard and a small fine for entrance.
I walked towards the guard and stopped a few inches away from the desk that the guard was fixing paper work on. "State your name and reason for entry" the guard said without looking at me as he was still arranging papers on the desk. "Bell Cranel, I have come to Orario to become an adventurer" I said in a slightly excited tone which the guard did pick on. "Do you have any ill will towards Orario" the guard asked in a monotone tone "No, I do not" I answered without any hesitation. Finally the guard looked at me and then he took out a pen and paper on the paper was things to fill out on, such things were: name, age, race, eye color, hair color and how long you would stay there. "Just fill this out and pay the fine after that walk through the gates, and go on your marry way to kill yourself" the guard said with a now slightly irritated voice. "Will do, except that last part" I said in a joking manner. I then filled out the paper and gave him a pouch containing 15,000 valis. The guard checked inside the pouch and counted the valis, "Looks like everything in order, you know may enter Orario" The guard said in the same monotone tone he had the whole time." Thank you, well good luck to you mister guard" I said as I walked towards the gates and head inside Orario.
I walked a few more feet, and then took a good look at the city…..it was rich with life, it was filled with people going through their own lives. Elves, Animal People, Dwarves and Humans were everywhere walking, talking, eating, it wasn't like I've never seen any of the other races before it was more of the fact that the busyness of the city was new to me. "Wow" I said still staring at the surrounding area. A few more minutes passed and I finally snapped out of my trance. I walked a bit more trying to find an area to sit down on and be alone. After a few more minutes of searching I stumbled upon a fountain with a statute on it, it was a statue of a Goddess but the facial features were unrecognizable it most probably was a forgotten Goddess who lost her following nobody cared about her so nobody cared to clean her statue. A few feet away from the statue was a bench there was also a tree behind the bench which provided a shade protecting me from the sun. I then walked towards the bench and sat there. I sat for a few more minutes appreciating the silence of the area. Then grabbed a pocketbook that was in the pocket of my brown cloak, I then flipped open the books cover…the first words that was written on the first page of the book always made me a bit emotional. I read the words in silence.
Dear Bell if your reading this then its either your 14 birthday or I have passed away…if it was the latter then I can only say I'm sorry for leaving you but I know you'll be just fine your My grandson after all but if it's the other one then. CONGRATULATIONS! Your finally old enough to leave the village! I know you always wanted to be a hero, I did train you after all but know it is time for you to go, Go and explore the world also take ya little girlfriend Cynthia with ya I know you love her and all but DON'T STOP AT 1 MAKE A HAREM MY BOY MAKE GRANPA LOTS OF GRANDKIDSSSSSS.
"He always was a womanizer huh" I asked no one while staring at the statue a tear fell down my cheek as I remember a vivid memory of me burying Cynthia with the other people from my village who I also buried.
I wiped my eyes with my shirt then proceeded to turn the next page of the book that I was reading.
So you Finally arrived at Orario and My guess is you don't know what to do next, I'm right aren't I?...Well obviously you to find a familia and get a blessing from em if your looking for recommendations then you should join the Loki familia , they live in Twilight Manor which is north of Babel, and if ya don't know Babel is that huge tower that you'd have probably noticed by now. Anyways bye my boy I have to go to the Pub tonight heard there were knew waitresses there.
"Loki Familia huh" I said, I got up the bench and made my way trough the streets of Orario, looking at the shops, and pubs that the city has to offer.
It took me 45 minutes to find Twilight Manor, I was now walking towards Twilight Manor's gate where 2 guards with spears stood beside it. I walked towards the guards which the guards notice, The guards were now observing me I got a bit closer and then. "Hello, may I speak with your Goddess or Captain, I wish to join this familia." I said in a friendly manner. "Beat it kid weaklings like you don't deserve to join this familia." One of the guards sneered trying to intimidate me which dint work since in my line of work 1 month ago, I used to talk to all kinds of intimidating and fucked up people. "Now, now I'm not looking for trouble just listen-" I tried to reason but was cut off. "I told you a weakling like you don't belong here" the guard sneered at me once again. "sigh…so you're really not gona listen to me huh" I said with a slight annoyance in my tone. "ya so you should leave pu-" before the other guard could finish his sentence I jumped over the fence without much effort since My previous line of work required me to have good agility and cardio so I was already quite athletic.
I then landed down the other side of the gate and quickly made haste and ran, the space where I could run was incredibly small which was proven since the guards caught up to me quite quickly. "nowhere to run now kid" the guard said clearly pissed off. "eh worth the shot" I said as I got ready in a fighting position. The 2 guards were going to lunge at me until a blond pallum spoke and stopped them at their tracks.
"So what is happening here" The pallum asked and looked at the guards then me. "Captain Finn this child trespassed on our property we were only trying to stop him from doing anything any further" the guard said with slight tint of annoyance in his tone. "I see" Finn then looked at me calmly. "and you why did you trespass in our property" I looked at Finn he wore a yellow vest over a purple long-sleeved shirt and trousers. He also had blonde scruffy hair and blue eyes.
"I am deeply sorry for the trouble that I had caused you Mr. Finn but I only did this for they refused to let me meet you or your Goddess. I only did this since I wanted to join your familia" I said while lightly bowing.
"I told you kid your too weak to join this familia" the guard interjected furiously.
"now, now, he already made it this far lets at least give him a chance to join the familia" Finn said looking at the guard. "now what is your name?" Finn asked calmly.
"Bell Cranel" I answered. "now Bell do you have your application paper?" Finn asked while looking at me. "Yes, I do its right here" I said as I grabbed a piece of paper from my cloak and handed it to Finn. Finn then read my application paper in silence and then smirked. "Well it definitely looks like your fit for the familia in paper at least" I looked at him and smiled, I was genuinely happy. "looks like joining a familia won't be as hard as I thought it would." I thought to myself. "Your application paper shows you have a lot of experience, but I would like to see you in action before I let you join our familia, is that alright for you?" Finn asked looking at me. "Yes, thanks for the opportunity." I said still smiling. I mean why wouldn't I everything right now is sailing smoothly in my direction. "Good come with me, we'll spar at the training area behind the manor" Finn said. I nodded in response. Finn then ordered the guards back to there post and led me inside the manor.
We walked trough the corridors of the manor while walking I would look around at the place admiring the fine décor and the adventurers that we're working inside of it. "Wow" the words escaped from my mouth. "Looks like your liking it here already" Finn said glancing at my face with a smile. "um…yeah this place looks extremely impressive." I said still staring at the various decorations of the manor. We were near our destination while walking to it though a voice called out. "Captain Finn" I turned to see who was calling so loudly and saw 2 amazoness a human and an elf.
The 4 then approached us and the energetic amozoness wearing only a strip of cloth around her chest and a pareo around her waist and was also bare foot, She also had medium length black hair and brown eyes talked. "Who'se this captain" the amozoness asked still keeping her energetic energy. "Tiona, energetic as always, anyways this is Bell, Bell this is Tiona, the other amazoness there is her twin Tione and this is Ais, and Lefiya" Finn said looking at the 4. I then bowed slightly and looked at the 4 "It's a pleasure to meet you." "a pleasure to meet you as well" Lefiya said, she wore a rosette pink cape on top of a white shirt and pink corset dress. A purple bow hangs at the collar. She also had long golden yellow hair and dark blue eyes and pointy ears. "Yes, it's my pleasure as well" Ais said with a monotone voice that matched her expression, she wore a white and black battle cloth, black arm covers, and long blue boots. She also had long golden hair and eyes that matched her hair color. "Um..anyways captain where are you and Bell-san going" Tione said, she wore red bra like cloth that covered her chest and a pareo around her waist only reaching her thighs and red like leggings that extended to her feet but not covering her soles. "That reminds me call Rivera, Loki, Gareth and Bete to go to the training are " Finn said to Tione. "Sure, captain but, why?" Tione asked curiosly "Bell here will be joining our familia I want the others to watch us spar that's all" Finn answered. The 4 looked at each other then at me, then Lefiya spoke. "captain not to be rude but why do all of us need to watch him fight, he seems like a rookie to me" Lefiya said earning a small grin from Finn. "Oh, you will see, anyways Bell let's get going"
Me and Finn said our goodbyes and walked outside the manor in the back was the training area which was a wide space where people could spar on without any problems with the surrounding area, Finn then led me to their barracks where I picked up a medium length sword with 2 edges and a dagger the size of a knife with only 1 edge. After a few more minutes 8 people came outside it consisted of the 4 that I met earlier and another new 4 a Dwarf, a High Elf, a Goddess and a werewolf.
"Finn, you called?" The high Elf spoke, she wore green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots. She also had jade-colored hair tied in a tail that reaches to her waist, and the same colored eyes. I blushed a bit when I saw her She was a half a head taller than me and she also wore clothes that hid most of her figure but even with all of that she still looked absolutely beautiful.
"Everyone glad that your here" Finn said with a smirk. "Did ya really have ta wake me up for this." The red-headed Goddess said while yawning. She wore jeans and a shirt that showed off her stomach, her hair was light red and was tied in a simple ponytail, her eyes were the same color as her hair. "oh, you'll be glad I asked you to watch after this fight." Finn said ominously.
"tch, just get it over with no point in watching a weakling fight anyways" The werewolf said with a clear annoyance in his tone. He has gray colored hair, along with amber eyes, as well as a sleek tail. He has a blue tattoo on the left side of his face and a muscular physique (I have no idea what his wearing nothing on the wiki either.) "Cut the boy some slack will ya." Gareth spoke. He wore a battle cloth and boots and had brown eyes and long brown hair along with facial hair of the same color that is long enough to form a beard.
"Just sit down for now Bete, anyways I called all of you here to show off Bell a bit, you'll all understand when you see him fight and I will also explain who he is later." Finn said to all of them. They then sat down on a long bench that fit all of them, then they stared at me most probably because of all the praise that Finn kept giving to me, I smiled and waved at them since I dint know what to do with all the staring.
"do any of you know anything about him" Riveria asked the others curious to why Finn had to call them all just to watch him fight. "no Lady Riveria but Captain Finn seemed made him sound important" Lefiya answered contemplating on why there captain hold Bell a total stranger in such high regard. "tch, he's probably just some weakling." Bete grunted.
Finn looked at me signaling that we would start in a bit, I then walked a few meters feet away from him and got ready in a fighting stance I held my sword with my right hand in a normal grip and held my knife in reverse. "Bell are you ready" Finn said holding a spear that he took from the barracks. "Yes." I said with a slight hint of nervousness in my voice. "Loki mind starting as off." Finn said looking at Loki. "yeh sure I'll start ya off" Loki answered a bit intrigued. "Good, Bell rules are simple you hit me once and you win and don't worry I'll hold back" Finn said in a fighting stance, I nodded in response.
.
.
.
The Loki executives were now watching intently waiting for Loki's signal to start the fight off, The young man who seemed like a fresh rookie took a fighting stance holding his sword and knife…..then the air around him drastically changed, the soft welcoming feeling when you look at the young man faded, his aura changed into a fiercer one and his look only strengthen this, his demeaner became serious, it felt like he was already a man who has battled and fought for a very long time…
.
.
.
.
"START!" Loki said excited for what was going to happen next.
.
.
.
I heard Loki's words and just stared at Finn, waiting for him to strike while analyzing his body movement, I already know he's strong since he is the captain of this familia hence why I took the defensive, "beating him won't be easy" I thought to myself.
Finn then ran at me and thrusted his spear to my abdomen which I parried with my sword tilting it slightly so it would slide of the spear, since the full force of Finn's attack could easily throw me of balance, I then followed up the parry with a vertical slice to Finn's forearm which Finn easily dodged. "He's fast, really fast" I thought to myself. Finn then thrust his spear once more to my face this time, I parried it again sliding it to the side with my knife then followed it up with a vertical swing to Finn's elbow. Finn backed away to dodge the attack then spoke. "You can see my movement?" Finn asked perplexed that someone without falna could see a level 6's movement. "Barely, all I see is a blur every time you move." I answered. Finn smirked then came at me once more.
.
.
.
.
The executives were attentively watching the fight amazed at the skill of the young man that they have came to see, all were silent just watching until Tiona broke the silence. "Wow! He's pretty good" Tiona said enjoying the fight. "Yes, he seems like an experienced fighter." Riveria said as a sound of metal hitting each other could be heard.
.
.
*Bell's Pov*
Finn made a slight mis step witch I now knew would happen, while fighting I continued to analyze Finn's movement, looking for patterns and weaknesses to his fighting style. I now understand that Finn's attack were always precise, he's always going for my weak spots and keeps going for an opening once he sees one, but if I intercept that attack he would always back of and re-adjust his position this tells me that while his attacks are deadly they are also have a huge drawback which is the fact that if Finn's attacks were interfered with he would need time to fix his stance to go for another attack which brings us to his mis step.
.
.
.
*Lefiya's Pov*
Captain made a mistake and lunged at Bell while thrusting his spear towards Bell's chest it looked like Bell knew Captain would do this and for the very first time dodged one of Captain's attacks. Bell step to side slightly then followed up with a roundhouse kick. Captain nearly got hit but he blocked it with his spear and got slightly pushed away by the impact of the kick. "Ais-san did you see that kick?" I asked Ais confused at why Bell's kick it looked extremely familiar with Ais's. Ais dint answer and just looked at me slightly wide eyed. "That move looks very familiar to how Ais dose it." Tione said looking at Ais. The attention was now at Ais. "Have you met him before Ais?" Riveria asked curiously. "no, I've only spoke him today" Ais said with a now slightly louder voice.
.
.
*Finn's Pov*
"He's better than I expected", I grinned and looked at Bell who was now preparing for another attack, "I dint expect that" I said to Bell still grinning. "heh, I try to look cool when I can." Bell said now grinning as well, Bell lunged at me swinging his sword vertically aiming at my torso, I parried his attack, but he made a follow up and thrusted his knife towards my abdomen, I dodged and stepped back. "He's gotten more aggressive…good" I grinned I now noticed Bell has gotten more aggressive with his attacks if I don't do anything now he might actually win, Bell got cocky and lunged once more, I who predicted this would happen already came up with a counter attack.
.
.
.
Sounds of metal hitting one another could be heard echoing around the manor this attracted the attention of several members of the Loki familia, they saw their captain fighting a young man they never seen before. they watched but soon they couldn't look away the fight was intense both fighters were extremely good and what they are doing. 3 of those who were entranced at the fight were a
human, a cat person and an elf. "Hey Aki do you know whom Captain is fighting" the elf asked while still watching. "no, idea I've never seen him before" Aki answered the elf. "Whoever he is he's definitely strong" the human said to the two they both nodded and continued to watch.
.
.
*Riveria's Pov*
Bell lunged at Finn, I noticed how Finn smiled when Bell did this, Bell was going to slash at Finn's head but before he could…..I was watching Bell lose balance he began to trip backward, Finn intentionally exposed an opening so he could lead Bell to this attack, Bete was watching intently waiting for moments like this so he could finally talk down about Bell "See, the kid aint anything special" Bete said mocking Bell who was falling down to the ground. We all thought the fight was over but Bell made a comeback, he used the momentum of the fall to boost himself of the ground with his left hand and flipped up with a kick that miss Finn's chin and then Bell jumped back 2 feet away from Finn. Everybody dint see that coming and were surprised by his move.
.
*Bell's Pov*
"That was too close, I have to finish this now if I want to win" Finn looked at me he took on a defensive stance. "Huh, this might work in my favor" I thought to myself. I thengrinned and started running at Finn I raised my sword and…
.
"Tiona's Pov"
Bell ran towards captain his sword held high, Captain was going to parry but then Bell's knife came flying towards Captain's head, Captain dint anticipated this and was surprised he tried to maneuver out of the way but Bell threw his sword as well at the left side of Captain's face. Bell cornered Captain forcing him to duck to avoid the incoming projectile but Bell knew this would happen.
.
"Finn's Pov"
"I can still dodge this.." I thought to myself ducking down to avoid the sword and knife, then I looked forward I was to focused on dogging Bell's weapons that I forgot about him, Bell ducked down as well and before I could react he manage land a solid uppercut on my stomach….it dint hurt but I was surprised, this young man is something else.
Everybody who was watching dint speak nor made any sound at all, they were all perplexed the skill that both fighters showed in their fight was eye catching to say the least, for a few more moments everything was silence until that silence was broken by the White-haired young man that they all been watching.
"OWWWW….my hand!" I screamed in pain shaking my hand violently while jumping up and down. For a few seconds I kept shaking my hand tears started to for at the ends of my eyes.. "Ha ha HA HA ha" Finn started to laugh soft at first then loud. The others watching saw the whole scene and couldn't hide there laughter as well even Ais who dint show much emotion was now laughing loudly. "No, seriously I'm pretty sure I broke it when I punched you" I said trying to calm down their laughter to no avail while still shaking my hand. "Ha ha ha ha…sorry Bell it was just to funny" Finn said wiping tears of joy from his eyes. "Glad that my pain brought you joy" I said sarcastically while holding my hand.
Finn looked at the Loki executives who have finally stopped laughing "So do you know see why I asked you all to come here." They all just gave Finn a look that said yes. I saw Finn talking to the others so I walked towards them still holding my injured hand "Umm…Mr. Finn could you please heal my hand it's still very much broken" I pleaded. "oh, Bell sorry here let Riveria heal it" Finn said pointing at Riveria. Riveria walked over to me and held my injured hand "Bell, right? it seems all the praise Finn gave you were not overestimation" Riveria said. Then she chanted and healed my hand. "thank you Lady Riveria" I said and smiled at her. "no, need to be so formal were going to be in the same familia now anyways." Riveria said. "Sure, umm Riveria then you can just call me Bell as well" I said with a smile. "okay then Bell" Riveria said now smiling as well.
"Well I'm glad and all that yer joining my Familia but Finn I gotta ask ya where did ya even find him in the first place" Loki asked genuinely curios at how the young man got here. "it wasn't hard Loki, Bell here was the one who came in the first place" Finn smirked. "What ya mean" Loki asked now growing even more curios, Finn then explained how I got here and also told them that I wanted to join the familia and how he accepted. "Well it's good that ya did all of that otherwise some other familia would've got ya." Loki said, Loki was now very happy they just scored someone with that much skill in fighting and he was also quite handsome which was another plus for Loki. "Well anyways let's go inside and give you my blessing" from hearing those words my face instantly lighted up I smiled like a little kid who found a new toy to play with, which to my surprise made the girls including Loki blush.
Finn led me and the others towards his office, he said that Loki should give her blessing there and after that he would explain who I am, that made me a bit nervous, I wrote on my application paper that I was previously an assassin 1 month ago but decided to retire to pursue my dream of becoming a hero, and the first step in becoming a hero was getting stronger which is why I came to Orario in the first place. While walking Tiona bombarded me with questions about who I am, where I came from etch. The questions weren't answered though, Finn told her that she could ask me later after receiving Loki's blessing.
We then arrived at the door of Finn's office "Loki you can give Bell your blessing we'll wait here until your done" Finn said to Loki, he insisted that Loki should be the first to see my status, I was curios to why but agreed non the less. Loki and I then walked inside the office.
"So, Finn why have you been acting all so secretive about Bell's status" Riveria asked, this whple tome she has noticed that every time someone we're to ask of anything about Bell Finn would interject them and say I'll explain later, this made the High Elf curios to what the White-Haired young man would be hiding. "Wait a little longer Riveria, everything will make sense once I explain who he is later so for now let's wait until Loki's done ok." Finn said. Everyone collectively agreed to wait but now they were ven more curios wat who the white-haired rabbit was.
Inside the office Loki and I stood, "So, Bell-kun take of yer shirt and lay there on your stomach on that couch" Loki said, this was the first time in a long time that Loki felt this excited, after watching the fight that Bell and Finn had she grew extremely curios to what secretes the white-haired rabbit kept hidden. I took off my shirt and placed it on the arm of the couch then laid on the couch and waited, Loki then sat on my backside, I glanced at her and saw that she was holding a needle, she then pricked her finger with the needle then a drop of her blood landed on the backside of my torso, my back then glowed I watched the Goddess work, she had a huge grin on her face the whole process took 2 minutes to finish but to me it felt like hours. Loki finally finished and got off my back and then looked at my status sheet then shouted "WE STRIKED GOLDDD."
The Loki executives and Lefiya, and practically the whole manor heard Loki's extremely loud proclamation. "looks like they've finish already" Gareth said, he let out a hardy laugh while he stroked his beard. "it seems so, Finn?" Riveria added on, "Yes, I know let's head inside everyone, we have important matters to attend to" The executives entered Finn's office there they saw the half-naked Bell his body was toned he had muscles that were not small but not to big either it was the perfect size for his body, he also had 6 pack abs, Bell's body had a few scars as well, which begged the question once more, who was Bell Cranel. Bell looked the executives Tiona, Lefiya, Ais and even Riveria were blushing, Bell then put his clothes backed on and coughed making the girls snap out of their trance. "umm…Mr. Finn why are you all here" I asked, already knowing the answer, "Bell we have to talk about something important but first let's see what Loki had to scream about" Finn said, in a serios manner.
Everyone then looked at Loki who was holding my status sheet "Loki, his status what's on it that made you shout that loudly" Riveria asked, the last time Loki shouted that loud was when Ais leveled up in a year. "oh you'll understand mama after you read this" Loki said, she then gave my status sheet to Riveria, "Riveria, she read Bells status aloud I'm sure everyone is curios about it." Riveria nodded in response and then read.

Development Abilities:
The whole room was now silent the fact that Bell's had these skills baffled them, the first skill surprised them but the second was even more surprising, the name of the skill told everything Bloodlust a skill that most probably would only show on an experienced killer.
"You're a murderer" Lefiya muttered out, that thought was in everybody's mind, the air around them now grew dark and restrictive, Loki was losing her shit when she realized her mistake, she was so engrossed on Bell's first skill and the fact that he had 2 at level one made her oblivious to the fact that his second skill would make someone uncomfortable to say the least. Bell noticed the tense atmosphere, he knew what was on their mind, and that's because he saw it often, he was an assassin a murderer and when people found out, this would be the normal reaction, Bell took a breath of air "If it makes you feel better all of those were criminals" Bell said deadpan. They were surprised at what he said but they still kept quiet.
"Now does everybody understand why I called everybody here." Finn said in a serios manner, Finn already anticipated that this would happen, when he saw Bell he remembered the report of the Hermes familia, it was given to him for investigation, Bell was an assassin Finn knew this and that is why he was so insistent to be the one to explain who Bell is to the others. Finn walked to his desk and sat down he took out a file that had Bell's photo on it and a recorder and projector that was created by the Hermes familia's Captain Asfi Adnromela.
"Everybody have a seat" Finn ordered the others, they were a bit hesitant but complied they sat on the couch and in front of them was Bell none spoke then Lefiya did. "Captain may I ask why would you invite such dangerous person to our familia" Lefiya asked hesitantly. Before Finn could answer though Bell spoke "Dangerous why would I be so dangerous, your all first-class adventurers, you could all easily snap my neck if you wish to, well maybe not you elfy." Bell spoke in a now cold and intimidating tone, Bell then smirked to further intimidate the elf. They all gulped at what he said, Bell's aura was now-way different from before it was fierce, heavy, cold and intimidating. Finn sighed "Riveria do you remember the report that the Hermes Familia gave us 5 months ago" Finn asked the high elf. "Yes, the report was about the Hermes Familia's encounter with a white-haired young man with rubellite eyes when they were scouting an evilus hideout" Riveria answered, Riveria glanced at Bell and then the dots in her head connected. It was pretty obvious in all honesty Riveria, but the report was given 5 months ago so you couldn't really blame the high elf for not noticing the features of the young man who sat across them. "Don't tell me."
*Finn's Pov*
"Yes, Riveria your right about your suspicion Bell here was that young man, when The Hermes familia scouted the evilus hideout they found out that there were 10 prisoners there, one of them was Bell…now before I continue I have to make it clear that everything that I say from now should not leave this room" Finn ordered, How Bell acted confused Finn, Bell was too carefree it dint feel right at all. The others were put off by how Bell was acting as well, they were talking about a such serious topic but he was treating it as nothing, this angered the 2 amazoness Tiona and Tione, killing a person was never a good thing for the two, they were forced to join the Kali familia at a young age and were made to fight to the death for entertainment which led them to flee their homeland Telskyura. Tiona couldn't take it anymore and slammed her fist on the coffee table in front of everyone. "Why are you so carefree right now!" Tiona said in anger, this surprised the others it's the first time they saw Tiona lash out like that. "oh, some ones angry" Bell said in a mocking manner, this further angered Tiona she grabbed Bell by the collar and raised him up. "Tiona let go of him, it's not worth it" Tione grunted. Then Bell who was still hanged up talked "Tell me miss Tiona, what's making you so angry right now" Bell said, "Why are you so carefree YOU'RE A MURDERE DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BAD!" Tiona shouted, clearly frustrated by Bell's behavior. "oh I did, before at least, I did say that I only kill criminals, how about I tell you a little about my past. When I was new to this job I was inexperienced hesitant, I valued life more than anything, well I still do, anyways I was tasked to kill a Rapist murderer who loved to torture women, I found him one night kidnapping a girl I knew, I easily subdued him I got my friend back but I let him live, once I turned my back to leave he stabbed with a tranquilizer then he beated me half to death and proceeded to rape my friend front of me, thankfully the effect wore of and I got up to slit his throat, that very day I learned that if I hesitate then I'm risking someone else dying, so Miss Tiona do you still think I should feel bad. Bell then lifted his head up and looked directly at Tiona's eyes tears were now flowing down his cheeks his eyes now loss the cold gaze and it changed to a hearth broken one. Everybody couldn't speak the amount of guilt they just gained was immeasurable, "Let him go Tiona" Finn ordered, Tiona let go off Bell, Bell fixed his collar and sat down he wiped his tears of then Finn talked "After this explanation you'll all understand why I invited him to the familia" We all looked at Finn, he then begun the explanation.
"During the Hemes a Familia's scouting they saw that Bell had taken off his bindings, they got curious so they began to record Bell" Finn then Began to fix the projector to the recorder and closed the window then he played the video the video contained Bell pretending to sleep. "After Bell got his bindings off an Evilus member approached them, when he came close to Bell, he got stabbed by Bell on the neck" Finn played the video which showed the current events. "The next events can't really be explained so I'll just show you what Bell did." We stared at the projector and watched baffled at what happened in the video. Bell told the other prisoners to be quiet, Bell then took the evilus member's sword and used it to cut the bindings of the prisoners, he led them to the back exit of the hideout, after that Bell took a small rectangular object from his pocket and a small disk from his other pocket, what happened next surprised everyone, well except Bell who used the item, the item started playing music,
*INSERT SONG: BILI JEAN by MICHAEL JACKSON*
Bell began to snap his fingers and swing his hips while matching the beat of the song, while Bell was dancing you could hear a voice from the one who was recording. "What is he doing?" Asfi said confused as to why the white-haired rabbit started to dance. Then a chienthrope voice could be heard frantic. "Asfi, you've gotta see this" The chienthrope said "Lulune, why are you here, I told you to keep an eye of the evilus members eating." Asfi said pointing the camera to Lulune's face "Yes, I know it's just that they all died" Lulune said franticly "What do you mean died" Asfi asked confused "I don't know! They just did" Lulune said now shouting softly. Asfi then sneaked to wards where the evilus members where eating there she saw Bell with a torch igniting the table where the evilus members ate. Asfi the zoomed the camera to the Evilus members faces, you could see foam coming out of their mouths. "Holy, shit did that guy do this" Lulune whispered. "most probably" Asfi whispered back. Bell made his way up some stairs while being followed by Asfi and Lulune "this kid is nuts" Lulune whispered. Bell' music was still playing and he was still swinging his hips and lip syncing to the song, several evilus members heard this and confronted Bell "What the Fuck!" the evilus member shouted, "holy shit the place is burning down" an evilus member noticed the flames building up from below. "Someone tell the boss about this will handle this guy" 7 evilus member's surrounded Bell, "Die" an evilus member screamed. He tried to stab Bell with his sword but was intercepted by a throwing knife that hit his throat, Bell then threw 3 more throwing knives effectively killing 3 more evilus member. "Die you monster" an evilus member shouted he swung his sword aiming for Bell's neck only to be stabbed in the chest. Another evilus member ran towards Bell, Bell then ran towards him and sliced his neck clean off. "2 more to go" Bell said looking at the 2 remaining evilus members. One of them lunged at Bell, Bell intercepted and cut off the evilus members arm "JEFF" the evilus member screamed clutching on to his dying friend. "aww, are you sad" Bell said in a cold manner. The evilus member was trembling fearing for his life. "well you can join in him in hell then" Bell said while stabbing the man's torso. Bell then walked towards the office of the Evilus Boss.
Asfi and Lulune watched the whole thing, and even they who were strong willed adventurers feared for their life when the watched Bell fight "That was kinda hot" Lulune said "that's not the time for that!" Asfi said hitting Lulune on the head, they then walked towards the Door where Bell has entered there they saw another dead evilus member on the floor a sword stuck on his chest. Asfi then raised the recorder, it showed Bell talking to the Boss of the evilus hideout. "So do you wanna die slowly or fast" Bell asked mocking the man who couldn't move. "How, those people were lv 1 and 2 how did you kill all of them" the Boss asked while he coughed up blood. "The same thing I did to you poison" Bell said while raising a knife with violet liquid on its tip "I'm lv 4 no simple poison can kill me" the boss said fearing for his life. "let's see a bout that" Bell said, Bell then stabbed the boss on his abdomen, the boss lent out a grown then died. Bell let go of the man then took out a towel from his pocket "Well I better leave before I get trapped in the fire" Bell said wiping his hands with the towel." Then Bell looked directly at the camera and winked "You should leave as well"…. then the recorder fell down on the ground and the video ended.
End song.
"after those events the Hermes familia asked around the town near the evilus hideout, they were trying to find any clues to who the white-haired young man was, they later found out that he was an assassin named Deaths Sonata who killed criminals around the area, they also found out that the people in that town we're very friendly with him. They gave all of this information to the Loki familia and kept updating me about him, 3 months later he destroyed another evilus hideout, from what the Hermes familia told me, every place that Deaths Sonata has been in experienced a dramatic drop on crimes, after another month the Hermes familia informed me that Deaths Sonata has now stopped appearing only to show up here in this office after joining the Loki familia."
The attention was now centered around Bell who was siting on the couch carefree like nothing ever happened, "I'm impressed, you have a lot of info about me huh?" Bell asked nonchalantly. "No, not really what everything that I've said until know was all the info we know about you." Finn said in a serious manner. Bell then smiled "but I have to ask Finn, what are you gonna do to me now?" Bell asked deadpan. Finn then smirked and looked at Bell "We'll take you in obliviously"… "I'm sorry Finn but you ma-" Bell stopped mid-sentence he did not expect Finn to say that. "You'll what?" Bell asked extremely confused at what Finn just said. "I said we'll take you in" Finn said once more, "Wait, wait, wait don't you understand I'm a murderer, you saw me kill in cold blood minutes ago" Bell said frantically. "Yes that is true, but you also saved hundreds or even thousands of lives, if you ask me your more of a hero than a murderer." Finn said, all the things that Finn said were true while Bell was a killer he did only kill those who were evil, his actions saved more lives than the 267 that he took. "and he was taking down evilus anybody who does that is good in my book" Loki added, persuading the rabbit. Hearing this Bell felt like a huge burden was now lifted, Bell then took a huge breath of air and collapsed on the couch that he was sitting on, the heavy and cold aura around him was now gone and replaced by a kind and soft one. Loki saw this and felt like it was now the perfect time to reveal a secret of Bell's. "Good ya finally quit yer acting" Bell eyes opened wide, nobody ever saw through his act not even Gods could, but just like that the Goddess who was standing beside him figured him all out. "You knew?" Bell asked confused. Loki then walked closer to Bell and leaned in to his face, she then opened her slits revealing her two beautiful red eyes. "You may be able to trick everybody here but ya can't trick the Goddess of trickery." Loki said staring at Bell's eyes. Bell then unexpectedly blushed after hearing those words. The others were staring at the two curios to what Loki said Riveria coughed and asked "Loki are you saying he's been lying this whole time" Riveria asked, all of them were now confused, what did Loki mean when she said acting. "Nope, everything he said about himself was true" Loki answered Riveria, which confused them even more. "then what did you mean when you said he was acting" Tione added. "ah, that, I was talking about the whole bad guy act that he was doing" Loki answered. The executives were shocked for the thousand time "so the whole thing about his friend was true as well?" Tiona asked, after she lashed out on Bell she felt a looming felling of guilt because of what he had to said to them. Tiona wanted to apologize to Bell for being inconsiderate of his feelings but unexpectedly Bell was now on the floor in a Dogeza position "I would like to apologize for all the things I said I'm deeply sorry for hurting everybody's feeling specially Miss Tiona" Tiona was surprised the kind aura that she felt when she spoke to Bell for the first time came back which made the amazoness happy. "No, No, I should apologize I made you remember such a horrible memory" Tiona said now waving her hands frantically. "No that was still my fault I was intentionally making you all hate me." Bell said still in a dogeza. "What do you mean by that Bell" Riveria asked confused on to why Bell would do such a thing. "Well, I thought that you were going to send me to prison, my plan was to jump of the window and I dint want anyone to go after me so I wanted all of you to hate me so that nobody would go after me" Bell answered, a minute passed and everyone was still silent until "pfftt….ahahahaha" the high elf laughed aloud which was not normal thing that she would do but so many things happened today that she dint even care anymore, the others who we're trying to keep in there laughter now laughed as well. The laughing felt like it had no end, Bell was utterly confused, an hour ago he was planning an escape to return to his life as an assassin once more and run away from Orario now he was in a dogeza while being laughed at. Bell then got up and looked at the others and said "it's not funny" the others laughed even harder after hearing Bell's annoyed voice, for a solid 5 minutes the executives kept laughing not having a care in the world.
"Sorry, Bell it's just been such a stressful day today, and I think we all deserve the laugh" Finn said wiping tears of joy from his face. Finn then got up and put away the file that had my picture on it and the projector and recorder then Finn opened the window and let the sun's light spread inside the room. "so, I think everybody has a good idea on who you are now" Finn turned around and faced the sun that was close to its end, signaling that its almost night time. "Yeah I know, you did just expose my whole secret" I said sarcastically, Finn then turned to me and smiled "Yeah, sorry about that but I think it's better this way." Finn then looked at Tiona and the others. "oh, why is that?" I asked, I already knew why but I still asked so that Finn would explain it to the others. "you ask that when you already made one of our members lash out in anger" Finn said looking at Tiona who now looked embarrassed by her behavior. "yeah, I know, and Miss Tiona I really am sorry for making you so angry. "ah, no…I'm the one who's sorry…..ah." Tiona now was even more embarrassed, she tried to apologize once more, but failed miserably. Bell then walked up to Tiona and held her hands to his, Tiona looked up surprised at Bell's actions, she was greeted with Bell's warm smile a smile that could melt any woman's hearth, "Your very kind Miss Tiona, and beautiful as well if I may add." Tiona's face was now crimson red, this was the first time in her life that anybody gave her such a genuine compliment. Bell then let go of Tionas's hands and walked towards Lefiya and bowed. "I am sorry to you as well Miss Lefiya." Lefiya dint answer she was still she was unmoving shell shocked because of the past events, but nobody really blamed her, the events that took place in this very room, would definitely turn anyone to the state that Lefiya was in. Bell then looked up to see why Lefiya was so unresponsive "is she okay" Bell asked worried for the elf in front of him. "Yes, she is, but it looks like she won't move for a while" Riveria answered the worried rabbit. "Guess the whole, you dancing and decimation that ya did scared the lad" Gareth said stroking his beard. Finn walked towards the goor of the office "moving on, Bell I'll officially announce you joining the familia tonight at dinner, but for now I'll show you where you'll be staying" Bell nodded in response and said his goodbyes to the others, Bell walke toward the door, Finn opened it and they Both exited the office.
"Well, that was interesting huh." Loki said breaking the silence. Gareth sighed heavily "Interesting is a nice way of saying it." Tch Bete clicked his tongue "this was just a waste of my time, so the kid's an assassin big whoop." Riveria sighed hearing the wear wolf's voice "Where was all that spunk when Bell was still here" "shut up hag" Bete sneered. "anyways what's with ya Tiona you've been blushing for a while now" Loki asked curious to why the amazinnes was so quiet. Tione looked at Tiona and a huge grin foremed on her face "hmmm… does my dear sister have a crush" Tione teased. "huh..wabacha..ba" Tiona stuttered trying to deny her sisters claims. Gareth let out a hardy laugh noticing the amozoness failed attempt to deny her crush. Lefiya then snapped out her trance, she was now aware of her surroundings. "Where's that human" Lefiya said while grabbing her staff holding it tight. "wo calm down lad" Gareth said to the elf. Lefiya noticed that Bell was gone, and after a few seconds she calmed down. "What happened to the human" Lefiya asked not remembering much after the video ended. "Don't worry, nothing bad happened" Tione said to the elf "is that human gone then?" Lefiya asked the amazoness. "nope, he's staying with us." Loki answered the elf. "But-" Lefiya was cut off, "No, buts Lefiya it's already been decided I'll tell you about the things you missed later." Riveria interjected the elf and gave her a stern look. Lefiya nodded in response. "Ais how about ya got anything to say about Bell" Loki asked Ais who hasn't talked for the last hour. Ais then looked at Loki "he's strong" this earned a hardy laugh from the Gareth. "We found out so many things about the lad and that's all you gotta say" Ais bowed her head slightly in embarrassment. Loki then walked towards the door "Welp, the days been hectic as heck, I don't know about you guys but I'm going back to my room and relax a bit" she opened the door and then waved goodbye. The others looked at each other then decided that they should rest a bit as well after all today was a tad bit to stressfull.
