25th day of 7th month year 10434.

Nevada was now over eight ears old and has improved a lot the last three years.

His physical skills are now a lot better, then it was in his past life. He has copied five sword styles and he knows four other styles from his past life. So in total of nine sword styles. Because he already knew everything about knives in his past life, he didn't have to copy a lot of styles and just used the ones, he knew. The staff was copied too. He also has copied other kinds of physical movements, beside the ones that involve fighting. Like he has copied the way the assassins can climb and other cool trick.

As for the poison and traps, he has read about ten very thick books in total and knows a lot for his age. His knowledge on traps span from a simple rope trap to a trip wired explosive trap. And yes. There are explosive powders in this world. But most of his focus is on poison, because in his past life, he used it too and had built up immunity to it, like the other members. The same was for the Mercenary program, that his only person who he could call a friend was from.

And finally about his magic. Well it has progressed pretty well and he can create projectiles made out of ice pretty quickly. The speed depends on the size. He also has learned a few non-elemental magics from Maria.

Here is his current status.

Currently Nevada was walking near the training area, because he wanted to shoot with the bow. So while walking and staring around, he stops. He now looks in front of him and sees a group of five children, who are older then him, in front of him. There is a Snow Elf boy, two humans: one male, the other female, a female dark-elf and a male dogkin. Their names in order are: Kevin, Marcus, Ellie, Serya and Rex.

"What?"Nevada asks, while looking at them.

"Just want to know, why a cursed kitsune is still alive and here. Your kind should be killed immediately after birth. A disgusting breed."Kevin says with an arrogant voice.

"Seriously? Thats all? Thats the best insult you got?"Nevada asks him, after hearing him.

"You little shit."he says and picks him up from the ground and holds him in the air.

"Wow. A twelve year old bullying a eight year old and has his four friends with him. How brave."Nevada says the last part sarcastically.

"You seriously want to die I see."He tells Nevada, who replies"Nope. But you will If you don't put me down."

The next moment, a dagger made out of ice is on Kevins throat and has cut a little into his throat.

"Come on fucker. You have five seconds, before I slit your fucking throat and watch you need to death."Nevada says in a cold voice and start to count"One."

"You fucki-."

"What the fuck is going on!"is yelled by Maria, who just arrived here.

"Nothing."Kevin says and drops Nevada, who lands onto his feet. He turns around and says"You got lucky."

He starts to walk away and Nevada looks at them, before throwing the dagger at Kevin. The dagger flies towards him, but before it could reach him, it disappears without a trace.

"Why did you do that, Maria?"he asks her.

"Because now is not a time."she answers and walks up to him"Do what you want to him, when there is an actual reason, Nevada."

"Fine."He replies to her and walks to the archery range. Because of Kevin and his group, his mood was now bad.

As he walks away, Maria looks at him and just sighs. She herself, walks back to inside and goes to the fourth floor, to Alice's and Veronicas room. She knocks on the door and after she is allowed to enter, she enters. She closes the door behind her and sits down on the couch.

"So Maria. Why the sudden visit?"Alice asks her, as she cleans her sword behind the table.

"Because of your son."Maria replies and Alice asks"What did he do?"

"Well he was bullied by Kevin and his friends again. So when Kevin lifted him and threatened Nevada, Nevada created a dagger and put it against his throat, threatening Kevin."Maria says.

"Okay. So what is different this time?"Alice asks her and Maria after a short silence, replies"This time he threw the dagger at Kevin."

When Alice hears Maria, she stops cleaning and puts the sword back onto the table and gets up from the chair. She turns around to look at Maria and asks"And what happened next?"

"Obviously I erased the dagger. If he kills now, he will be executed by Anna."Maria replies to her.

"I see. Thank you I guess."Alice replies and sits down onto the bed. She puts her hands onto her forehead, to think.

"*Sigh*. Where did I go wrong with him already. He has changed too much."Alice mutters to herself.

"You didn't go wrong nowhere. This is who he truly is."Maria replies to her.

"But he changed so quickly. Almost overnight. One day he just asks for his own room and well obviously I allowed it. Now I only see him during practice or outside on the training grounds. Same for Veronica and you too."

"Yep. He comes to practice magic and then drains mana for the next day. He even now calls me by my name and not 'Wolfy", like he used to."Maria says.

"I know. He calls me mother or by name too. Same for Veronica. He isn't the same Little Fox, like before."Alice says in a sad tone.

"Yes. But there is nothing we can do about it. We just have to support him and thats all."Maria tells Alice who replies"I know. It's just that he is a completely different person now. Maybe I shouldn't have started to train him."

"You didn't have choice, because of Anna."Maria tells Alice, who just nods to that.

A long silence passes for a while, until Alice says"Hey Maria."

"What?"

"If he gets fourteen, then could you do it?"Alice asks from Maria, whos face turns to a confused look because of the sudden question.

"You mean that?"

"Yep. I can see what you feel, so do that. I know what you feel and I know you can help him. You may not be able to change him, but you can at least help him."Alice says in a serious.

"Your pretty serious....I'll think about it."Maria replies to her.

"Thank you."Alice thanks her.

As for Nevada, he is back in his room and standing in front of a mirror. He looks at the mirror and on his face, he sees a white tribal styles mark on the right side of his face.

As he keeps staring into the mirror, his face changes into one, that belongs to the Goddess: Sola.

"So how do you like it?"She asks him and he replies with an angry voice"Fucking hate it. Remove it."

"Now now. Thats no way to talk to a lady."she tells him and he just shows her a middle finger. She proceeds to smile and then feels a burning pain on the right side of the face. He manages to keep his voice back, but the pain makes it hard to think straight.

"Watch your attitude."she tells him"There is a reason I left you your memories. And you know why." Actually she forgot, but she acts like she left it on purpose.

"Yeah yeah. You want me to kill the Despond."he replies in an angry voice, after."Also I have this attitude, because you did this to me. I didn't want it."

"Well I don't care or how you russians say: mne pohui. So kill Despond and then I'll remove my mark. Also the mark will be seen by everyone, when you get ten. Bye."she says the last two parts quickly, so he couldn't say anything back.

The reflection on the mirror turns back to normal and he sees that the mark has spread even more. Before it was a small mark at the end of his right eyes, but now it has spread around the right eye and has spread up to his hairline and down to his lip.

He stares at himself in the mirror, before punching the mirror, shattering it.

"Fuck!"he yells out.

He wanted to have a better life, but now he is forced by a goddess to kill Despond or Alice, Veronica and Maria would be killed by her. This means he has to do it or lose his family.

It all started three years ago, when he found himself in the same white room, when he died the first time. He exited through the same door and saw the same woman. She told him, that he has to kill Despond, because she doesn't like him. She threatened him and without a choice, he had to accept it. Now he is a fucking assassin for a bitch of a goddess, who he wants to kill, but know that it will be impossible. At least for now.

He hates it from the bottom of his heart. He hates that he is forced to work for someone else again.
