"My beautiful daughter is so cruel to me!" cried her father as he took of his glasses to wipe his eyes.
"Shut up." Sighing, Veradis wondered why the universe was so cruel as to give her such a sorry excuse for a father.
"Anyway, about your weapon," her father popped back up again, asking her about her choice of weapon.
"I think I'll choose the tessen or the double bladed sword. Both weapons are quite useful so…" Frowning, Veradis tried to decided which weapon to use. In the Katekyo Hitman Reborn, there quite a few sword wielders. However the double bladed was unique. Yet the tessen was more interesting and could be easily concealed. Nodding to herself, Veradis made her decision.
"I guess I'll choose to learn how to use the tessen then. Oh yeah father, can I learn how to use the chains as well?" When her father heard this, his face lit up disturbingly bright.
"My darling child is following in her father's footsteps! Of course you can! But first let's get your measurements." Nodding slowly, Veradis followed her father to another room to get her measurements taken.
Soon her measurements were taken. Veradis was about to leave when her father called her back. "Vera-chan, starting from tomorrow, you will join mafia preschool."
"Okay fa-wait what?"
"You will be joining mafia preschool. Imagine the friends you'll be able to make. And then if they betray you…" At this, her father smiled blood-thirstily. "Well, it'll be goodnight to them… forever."
"..." Veradis stared at her father before slowly backing off. "Okay?" Veradis left the room to the sounds of insane cackling. Heading to the gym, she decided to have a quick jog. Mafia Preschool was bound to be dangerous. After jogging on the treadmill for sometime, Veradis decided to go to the kitchen for a quick snack before heading to the library to find out more information about her 'new' life.
Opening the map, she went to the kitchen where she asked the chief for some bread and jam. Taking the plate from him, she looked at her map before using it to head to the library. When she reached the library, a floating scroll appeared in front of her. Grabbing it, she unfurled it.
To: Veradis Leonor
Subject: Welcome to the library
Welcome to the library. In this room, there and countless books. From fairytales to bingo books, we have them all. Peruse through the books to find out more about your family or simply read to enjoy! You can try your luck to find new techniques for your weapon. Who knows, if you're lucky, you might even be able to find out who will be attending mafia preschool with you! By the way, the silver book on the table, 'Famaso Mafiasi'. Or in english, 'Famous Mafia Members.' It's in Italian so good luck translating! Note that not all books will be in Italian. Some will be in malay, japanese… and of course english. This is to teach you new languages.
Glaring at the letter, Veradis threw it away before looking for a italian to english dictionary. If she wanted to read the book and find out more about her family, she would need a dictionary. An hour passed before she had finally been able to translate the few pages that mattered.

weirdness is ranked 1005 out of 86 320 mafia members
Staring in shock at her parents rankings, Veradis wondered how on earth her father had managed to get such a good ranking. Then she saw his weirdness ranking and everything was explained. Checking the time, Veradis realised she still had quite a bit of time before she would have to log out for lunch. Veradis searched the shelves for something that might give her hint about the children she'd be attending mafia preschool with. That's when she spotted a book called 'Various Famiglias and their Family Trees'. Smiling gleefully, Veradis decided to try her luck with this books since it seemed quite new and hopefully wasn't outdated. Opening the book, she found that it was exactly what she was looking for. Taking up a pen and a piece of paper, she made a list of all children who were around her age.
Ardelis Scintira
Ava Decin
Tomas Decin
Velerian Decin
Dino Cavallone
Caralos Hindill
Marcus Sodell
Delphine Raine
Erasmus Mozarto
Elene Mozarto
Sidonia Requese
Isadora Milara
Squalo Superbi
Leander Asquiz
Jaime Ricollo
Looking at the list of names, Veradis couldn't help but notice that she was in the same age group as Squalo and Dino. Smiling slightly to herself, Veradis pocketed the slip of paper before deciding to peruse the other tomes in the library. Poisons and new techniques seemed like a useful thing to learn, as well as languages of course. To join the Varia, one needed to know a minimum of seven languages. Even if this was game, she wasn't going to risk that. In fact, as a 'child', she might be able to learn languages easier. She had english and chinese down since she was required to have a second language in school. Grabbing several books, 'Italian for Morons', 'Korean for Imbeciles', 'Japanese for Idiots' and finally 'Russian for Dummies'. She would learn the basics first before actually going in depth.
After a while of studying, Veradis decided that it was time to have lunch. Taking several books with her to her room, Veradis jumped on her bed and quickly logged out. Once she was logged out, Veradis quickly started to make lunch. Her lunch consisted of a simple cup of ramen with two boiled eggs. A simple but quick meal. For a moment, Veradis entertained the thought of ordering for takeout to be brought to her everyday. Then she deemed it too troublesome and decided to re-login into the game to continue studying.
Logging back into the game, Veradis looked at the stack of books next to her before starting to read. Just as she finished reading one of the books, a scroll popped up beside her.
To: Veradis Leonor
Sub: Shopping
Now what do you think your gold is used for? Sitting alone, unused and looking pretty? Uh-huh. Gold is for buying items that you can't normally get your hands on. But where to spend it? In the shop of course! Just say 'shop' clearly and you'll be transported into our lovely shop. What can you buy in the shop? Well… go there to find out!
Sighing annoyedly, Veradis immediately spoke the word 'shop'. As soon as the word was spoken, her surroundings faded away only to be replaced by rows of panels with several tabs. Looking at the panels, Veradis clicked on the tab labeled 'weapons'. Immediately, the pictures on the panels changed. Veradis looked at the various weapons with interest.

Musing to herself, Veradis decided to buy the tessen, chains and needles. Checking the amount she had in her account, Veradis noted it to be pleasantly high. For silver, she had '8000000' with a daily allowance of 150000 silver. As for gold, she had '99999999'. Raising a brow at the ridiculously high number, Veradis remembered the special cards that apparently gave her gold. Rolling her eyes, Veradis decided to use her silver to buy the weapons. Buying the weapons would not even make a dent in her account after all.
Now what were the 'special items' the scroll spoke about? Veradis looked at the tabs again before noticing something rather interesting. A 'Potions' tab. Reaching out, she tapped on the tab. Immediately, the panels changed.
POTIONS
1000 silver = 1 gold
Health Potions
Arresto - 5000 silver/5 gold
About to die with no hope of having medical attention anytime soon? Drink the Arresto potion and you will survive for another 3 hours! However, once these 3 hours have passed, you'll be dead with no hope of returning! You can't drink another potion during that time though.
Cura - 5000 silver/5 gold
Dying from some unknown poison? Drink the Cura potion and you'll be as good as new! Well, maybe not as good as new-you'll just start vomiting and spitting out the contaminated blood. If all your blood is contaminated? You can resign yourself to a messy end. Best to drink as soon as poison is taken in.
Sanare - 5000 silver/5 gold
Sanare is your hope when you have light injuries on your body. Open Sanare and spread the paste onto the injury and watch as it miraculously heals! Probably the most useful paste ever!
Rimedio - 5000 silver/5 gold
Suffering from horrendous pains? Maybe frequent blackouts too? Or perhaps you just have an absolute crappy headache? Well Rimedio is the potion for you then. Rimedio cures all status effects from you.
Nuova Speranza - 100000 silver/100 gold
Have a lethal injury that you're going to die from in a few minutes? Drink the Nuova Speranza and that injury will immediately heal!. Note that only the most lethal injury will heal though.

Don't know a language? Drink one of our amazing language potions. Learn Japanese in a few seconds! Learn French in a few seconds! Learn any language you want in a few seconds!

Looking at the long list, Veradis decided to learn Italian first since it was obviously the most important at the current time. She would look at the cures and other potions at a later time. Buying the Italian language potion, Veradis drank it before collapsing-her head hurt. In fact, to say it hurted was an understatement of the highest order. It felt like somebody had taken a hammer to her head but worst! Groaning in agony, Veradis logged out of the game before collapsing on her bed to sleep.
Was that good? Please review and favourite and follow. :D
I love reviews as much as Reborn loves his espresso!
