Tonight, Taka came into my room, she took all the worms who were leaving my injuries, which are now sealed thanks to them. It hurt a lot this process, but it is over at least. While she was taking the last worm, and put it into a bottle, together with the others of course, she asks if I am alright. I proceed to getup, and then, the pain got away. I raised up without any complications like back pain, chest and headaches.

"I am alright." I say surprised to her.

"Good. Now, come to the kitchen. We will all eat dinner." she says while she leaves my room.

I go to the dressing room, put some clothes one because I was partially naked the whole time. While I was putting up my pants, I looked at the window and observed the sky has become darker, which means the night has come. After the pants, I put a blouse, and when I am done with putting clothes, I open the door of the room and head to the room where we are eating the three important dishes.

"Hey." says Garnet to me while I was walking to my chair.

"Hey, Garnet." I respond back to my friend.

"How are you feeling?"

"Great." I respond to her looking at the part where I had a cut on my right hand. "I didn't know how painful it is the medicine without any magic."

"When you were kid you never had any injury?" asks Ulfred looking at me.

"I did, but at the Orphanage it was different. You see, the nuns there were calling doctors who they got connections with. They would've bought medicine, but this would've been a problem with so many kids who like to eat a lot. Plus, it takes space to store enough medicine for almost thirty kids."

"That many of you were there?" asks Garnet.

"Yes. But some of them managed to get to the tenth birthday or find a parent to adopt them. For me, I had the only first option available."

"I understand." says Garnet to me.

"So, how was your day?" I asked them.

Then, Taka is sitting at the table, she also puts there a cauldron with soup who contains potato, carrots, mushrooms, and other vegetables, plus sheep meat. Before we were about to dig into that soup, Taka stopped me from eating it, and before I would be able to asks her why, Taka is looking at me, and she asks me.

"Is it true that you can see things from the future in your dreams?"

I glance at Garnet, who is telling me via her face reaction that she is feeling "Sorry", then, I took a breath and proceed to tell her the truth. Knowing that Garnet already told them almost everything, I should tell them everything I know because I have to trust them since I am injured, and they helped me get recovered. Besides, even if they will be trying to do something to me, Diana and Fiona are going to haunt their entire life... I hope.

"Yes. I can see into the future, but they are just small visions and I cannot control it."

"Why didn't you tell us?" wonders Ulfred.

"It is because... You see... I didn't trust you yet." I say this, Taka and Ulfred are looking at me with a reaction which doesn't show anger or anything related too bad.

"Understandable." says Ulfred. "Knowing that you are the squire of Fiona Lunderberg... Your case seems reasonable. But, I also wanted to know... Do you have a battle skill?"

"Yes. It is called Berserk, and it makes me attack anyone, but this is also having a side effect."

"You mean the snoozing?"

"Do I snore when I sleep?"

"Quite a lot." says Garnet with a smile, and almost everyone laughed.

"So." says Ulfred looking at me. "You should've told us this from the beginning. We are no strangers. We are teammates on this mission, alright?"

"Yes. And I am sorry." I say to Ulfred feeling a little ashamed for not telling them this information about my abilities. "But we have to be sure you are not going to... you know... abandon us."

"Why we would do that?" asks Taka to me.

"That's right, kid." says Ulfred to me. "We are not going to betray you, or Garnet. You are member of our guild now, remember?"

"Wait? so if I wasn't a member you would betray me? And let me hang here by myself with five more assassins on our way?"

"Five more?!" asks Ulfred surprised looking at me, and then he looks at garnet. "You said there are seven."

"Yes. These two you have fought are in fact the weakest of out those seven."

"Really? So I can solo them?"

"Don't you dare." says Taka. "So, we got to fight against five assassins. Who are they?"

"Well..." says Garnet looking around, and then she looks at us and explains to everyone at this table. "These five remaining assassins are stronger. They are mostly recognizable by their hood colors, and armor colored in their hood color. Plus, they are carrying weapons on their backs.". She is getting up from the table, takes a parchment, and she notes the names of those assassins. "There is a red hood assassin. Her name is Monica, and she is carrying a scythe with her. I believe Judah had a vision with her." she looks at me. "Correct?"

"Yes." I respond. "She was close at cutting he in half. Plus she said a thing like: "You should've let her go" or something which sounds like that." I told the people at this table who were observing every movement.

"Good. Now the fourth one is named Vidraru, he is a real pain in the butt and a sick man. He can do spells because he used one to... attack me." she said the part "attack me" in such a weird way it makes my skin shiver. "Even if he can do a spell, he needs mana to do it."

"Like any wizard and mage." I told Garnet. "I had a vision about him.". I look at Taka, being scared that I do still remember that vision very clear. "He captured you and Garnet. He was using some sort of crystal which says that your Battling Clone Skill wouldn't work."

"Crystal of Skillness?" asks Taka. "Of course. That crystal is very rare, and mostly bounty hunters or pirates are using it. What happened then?"

"Then, he said something about a silver necklace which makes my spells futile and intercepted message. And before I could remember, he killed me. In my vision." I said to them why they were looking terrified.

"Jesus..." says Ulfred.

"Oh no." says Taka feeling unsettle. "So the message I send it. might be taken by him?... Fuck..."

"Don't worry. We will be able to handle this." says Ulfred to Taka. "Now we know the details about them. Thanks to these two guys." says to me and Garnet.

"Right..." responds Taka feeling a little better, she takes a glimpse at Garnet. "Who are the other three?"

"There is an assassin who wears stylish clothes and a cane. His name is Thomas, and he is one hard bastard to beat. His weapon is the cane."

"I had a vision with him." I intervene. "The man was fighting against me and Ulfred, in the forest."

"Hell." says Ulfred. "And we won?"

"It just started and then vanished."

"Aw. We will have to stay away from forests, then." says Ulfred with a serious look.

"Kata is a green hood assassin." told us Garnet while she was still noting the names of those people on the list. "She is good at hiding and uses a bow with different types of arrows. You have to be careful where you walk it because she always finds a way to put a trap all around the place."

"Got it." says Ulfred to Garnet, and he looks at me. "You have a vision about her?"

"No."

"The last one is Luc, a brown assassin." says Garnet to everyone. "He is capable of flying and good at close combat fighting. He is using an axe and also a sword, on his both hands. Even if the man can fly, sometimes he is loud enough to be spotted by anyone, but he is hard to be defeated."

"And I didn't have a vision about him." I told everyone.

"And those are all the assassins who are after me." says Garnet. "Are you sure you can handle them?"

"No problem." says Ulfred with a smile on his face. "All four of us we will be able to face them."

"Yes..." says Garnet. "The thing is... I have a battle skill."

"Well that explains some things." I say together with Ulfred at the same time, and we were both looking shocked at each other, then we are going back on our feet to this land and look at Garnet.

"The battle skill I possess can stop time for a period of time. But when I do it, the limit is most likely the time when my nose bleeds while I am doing this. If I am using this ability more times, I will be fainting. Just like Judah battle skill."

"So. So you saved me?" asks Ulfred feeling surprised. I wasn't there to see what is he talking about, but by his reaction, this was probably something crucial.

"Yes. And don't worry. I hide it the sword somewhere safe."

"Way to go, kid." says Ulfred slapping the hands with Garnet. These two are somehow getting well together.

Taka coughed to get all of us attention, and, when she did that, she looked at us.

"At this very moment we have big advantages in our fights. And now, we should be more careful around here and keep watch on turns when the nights fold."

"I agree." says Ulfred. "I will take the night anyway.

"Are you sure?" asks Taka to Ulfred.

"Yes. Don't worry about it." says to Taka. "But, let's just let this conversation for later and eat. I am starving."

"Me too." I say to Ulfred.

Then, all four of us, proceed to eat from the soup and talks about some stories about the fights we've had. I recount the adventure I had with Fiona on the day when we fought the enemy Empire. They were looking at me, feeling surprised I think about the courage I had to join a war zone.

A few minutes later, after we have finished our dinner, we are going to our rooms. Garnet and I are going to our bedrooms, while Taka is going to hers, and Ulfred is staying on the house, with the lamp fire on and keep watch on this night.

I suppose the things are going to be harder for us since we have five assassins after us, but with Taka, Ulfred and Garnet ability to stop time, this fight might be not so hard. Plus, I also have a hidden parchment with spells I have written from my spell book, where I store it into one of my shoes. But these spells, are only used in emergency situations,so I should be careful becuase soem of them require a big amount of mana.
