The Longsword Of The Renmant Flame

[Later]

Billy was under the hot sun in the middle of the desert, the wind was blowing on his face as he kept looking forward.

Billy: I shouldn't have picked this place… But this is the best area for the assassination. 

When he found an high dune, he sat in there and looked at the road in front of him. He asked his subordinates to kill the target alone because he wanted to see how they worked together since he only saw Kazu's capabilities.

Soon, a carriage was passing by, connected to another square-shaped carriage, there should be the slaves in question, while inside the first one should be the slave dealer and some mercenaries he hired.

The carriage was dragged from two camels while in the front of the carriage another man was holding the reins.

He saw some movements in the road in front of the carriage, and saw Kazu dashing against the camels with two daggers with paralysis poison, good, they would need the camels to transport the slaves in a safe area.

Normally the Revolutionary Army wouldn't deal against a slave dealer, but he was their target because Billy requested a random mission to test his new subordinates, and then this guy came in.

Slave Dealer Mordred, he was the 3rd best Slave Dealer in the Empire because the majority of his slaves were former members of the Revolutionary Army. The people he hired were a pair of brother and sister, one was someone who wielded a bow, Michelle, while the other was another person who wielded a greatsword, Goliath. 

Kazu reached the camels and scratched them with his daggers, in 10 seconds, the camels fell in the ground paralyzed.

Servant: We are attacked!!

Billy watched as at the side of the carriage, Sally rushed over. Meanwhile, a big and muscular man came out from the first carriage carrying a greatsword that was 1 meter and half long and 15 centimeters wide, smaller than Billy's Meat Grinder, and probably lighter too.

Goliath: Hey Michelle, it's one of the assassins from the Revolutionary Army, Kazu if I am correct.

Michelle: Got it, Kazu.

Back to Kazu, he was dodging nimbly some arrows that were reaching for him from different directions. Those arrows were being shot in many different directions from the carriage, but they reached Kazu at a great speed anyway, they seemed to follow him regardless if they missed him.

However, those who touched his armor fell in the ground, Kazu seemed to have picked it up and used his daggers to intercept them, those arrows stopped following him and then he tried to reach for Michelle, meanwhile Goliath blocked his way and prepared his greatsword.

Suddenly, Sally jumped at Goliath, who noticed her and tried to push her away with one arm, but…

*CRACK*

Goliath's arm was twisted in an inhumane shape like nothing, and then Sally reached for Goliath's head, twisting that too.

Billy: So her speciality is twisting one's body… Good, it will ignore one's durability and easily cripple them in moments.

The next moment, Kazu jumped over the falling Goliath and threw poisoned daggers at Michelle, she dodged some as others scratched her body, she grit her teeth and sent another arrow at Kazu, who put an arm in front of him and used his dagger-made armor to block the arrow, much to her surprise.

Some seconds later, Michelle spit dark colored blood and felt weaker, then she fell down from the carriage, lifeless. The next moment Mordred's body fell on her, the Slave Dealer seemed to be dead too. From the carriage, Chelsea holding a needle came out.

Billy was surprised because he never saw Chelsea entering in the carriage, maybe she entered as some animal and assassinated him while he was distracted.

Billy got up and slided over the dune with a satisfactory smile on his face. When he reached the ground, the group surrounded him, Kazu held his apathetic face while Chelsea was s.u.c.k.i.n.g on a lollipop and Sally was grinning.

Billy: You guys made a great job at this. First let's take the slaves to a safe place and then we'll talk about how did the mission go.

Everyone: Yes!

Then the four of them stripped the 3 targets until only a shirt and u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r remained, then when Billy held on the bow, he looked over it, it was made pretty well, and there was a name inscribed over it, then he thought about testing something.

Billy: 'L'Arc Qui Ne Faut… I don't think Michelle needed to know Kazu's name… So… Maybe...' Michelle.

Billy picked up an arrow, attracting everyone's attention, and then he fired it at a random direction. The arrow twisted and stabbed on Michelle's body. The next moment, Billy let go of the bow as a headache reached his mind.

Billy: Tch… Hey Kazu, good job on defeating a Teigu user…

Kazu: Thank you, sir.

Billy held on the bow again and carried it away to give it to the Revolutionary Army while they accompanied the slaves to a nearby town to be released, then they turned back to the Revolutionary Army.

Billy: Alright, first of all, you three did everything perfectly in my point of view, you got not even a scratch. So, since this is our first mission together, is there anything you want? I will try to get it for you.

Sally: I want to sleep with you!

Billy almost stumbled down, but he managed to keep himself on his feet and sighed.

Billy: Alright… You two?

Kazu shook his head and muttered.

Kazu: I'll hold the favor for the future…

Billy nodded and turned towards Chelsea, who placed an hand on her chin as she hummed exaggeratedly. 

Chelsea: Can you buy a brand of lollipop of my liking?

Billy: Alright… So, S.e.x, Favor, and Lollipop?

The three nodded and Billy smiled bitterly regarding the first one… Is this how he loses his v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y in this life? Whatever, that's useless anyway…

While they walked towards the headquarters, Billy bought some lollipop that Chelsea wanted in a nearby town, before heading back to the headquarters.

[Tomorrow]

Chelsea just woke up, the light of the sun brightened her face and almost n.a.k.e.d body, however, her face was completely different from her mischievous one, she seemed as if she was a doll. 

She let out a sigh as she got up from the bed and dressed herself. Then she walked towards a mirror as she looked at herself, she smiled a bit, before she grabbed her Teigu that was on the table under the mirror and started to fix her face with a light make-up. 

Chelsea: Well, let's see our new leader if he's alive after sleeping with Sally… Hopefully she didn't exaggerated.

She let out her familiar mischievous smile as she walked out of her room, and knocked at Billy's bedroom that was near hers.

No response.

She checked the door and saw that it was closed, so she used her make-up tools to unlock the door, and sneaked in.

On the bed, there was only Sally sleeping with a smile on her face, but there wasn't Billy, she looked around and saw that the room was mostly empty, there wasn't a single decoration of his.

She sniffed a bit before she closed her nose in disgust, it seemed the two got all out during the night, on the table, there was a copy of the door's keys for Sally to go out if she woke up.

After that, she looked out from the window and saw Billy on the training grounds training with his Meat Grinder as if he was wielding a normal sword, the greatsword was just a blur in front of Chelsea's eyes, she could see the air bending with each slash or stab he made.

Soon, she got down to the training grounds and saw that even Kazu was training, and he was following Billy's suggestion of training on weights.

Some dozen of minutes later, Sally reached the training grounds as she kept yawning.

Billy just finished to train for the moment and noticed that all of his subordinates were there.

Billy: Alright! Now that you are all here, I want to say two things.

This attracted everyone's attention, even Kazu stopped training and grouped with the other 2 girls.

Billy: First, we need to do a better introduction, name, age, what you like and goal. Sally, you start.

Sally: Yes! My name is Sally, I'm 21 years old, my hobby is s.e.x and my goal is… Hmm… I guess being alive, I really don't have any other goal.

Billy: Chelsea, your turn.

Chelsea: My name is Chelsea, I'm 20 years old, I like lollipops and missions, and my goal is to change the Empire with my Teigu.

Billy looked at Kazu.

Kazu: My name is Kazu, I'm 27 years old, I don't have anything I personally like or hobby, and my goal is to kill a certain person from the Empire's incineration squad.

Billy nodded.

Billy: My name is Billy, I'm 19 years old, I like gambling and I am pretty good at it, and my goal is currently killing Honest, and possibly the new Emperor too, for revenge. Now that we introduced ourselves for good, I will start with the second thing. We have a new mission, and it's really important.

Sally: Oh god, another one in less than 24 hours?

Billy: Yes, and the mission is… Reach our new home!

Sally/Chelsea: Huh?

Kasu raised an eyebrow and waited for Billy to explain.

Billy: While Sally was sleeping, I got in a little chat with some higher-ups, and I was able to take possession of our new headquarters, it is an old castle at east of the Empire, but still on the outer layer of the central region, so we can make more missions and stay hidden.

I once passed by there, it is a great place surrounded by water full of nice fishes, we could eat some fish and even have a good source of clean water because that place is the source of a small river nearby.

The castle also has a good lookout and it is slightly famous around nearby villages for it to be the ABANDONED castle of a dead lord.

Chelsea: But won't people find it suspicious?

Billy: Do you really think they will think of us as being so stupid to hide in an obvious place? Only people coming there by coincidence would go there, and we can take care of them.

Chelsea: Hmmm… Hiding in the spotlight, that's a nice idea!

[10 days later]

Chelsea: ...That… *Pant*... Was a stupid idea… *Pant*

Billy: C'mon, we almost reached it, don't be a p.u.s.s.y.

They walked for 10 days towards their destination, and Chelsea was incredibly tired because of the rocky terrain they were walking in, she glared at Billy as she transformed into a bird and laid on Billy's shoulder, before resting there.
