Chapter 52: Boy
Waking up from her slumber, Mizuki heard loud singing and multiple thuds on the main deck.
'Those idiots.'
Standing up, Mizuki fell straight back down.
Her injuries have yet to heal.
'*Sigh* Looks like when I'm unconscious I heal a lot slower.'
Pushing herself back up, she didn't even try to use any mana to help herself as she fell straight back onto the bed.
Checking her status, she was pleasantly pleased as her stats had skyrocketed again.
Using her AP, Mizuki poured most into Agility, then Dexterity and Intelligence next came Vitality and Defence and finally Strength.

'With this, I should be quite fast.'
Looking around, she found spells on the door to keep people out and her gun on her desk.
'At least they tried. Although the windows and walls are barren.'
And just then she felt a slight presence.
Looking to her right, Mizuki saw a boy with semi-long pink hair open the window and jump in. Knife in hand.
'Oh. An assassin.'

'... is this what they send after me? Disappointing.'
Making a string of mana, Mizuki pulled her gun to her and aimed.
"Well? What do you want?"
Flaring her mana, she looked the boy in the eyes.
Yet he didn't even flinch.
'He has guts. But under-levelled.'
"I want you dead."
"How scary."
'He has some potential so I'll let him live.'
"Die."
...
I threw my knife at that woman and used my unique skill.
My irises turned dark and my pupil shrank. I doubt she could ever see me.
The only thing left in my previous location was a white trail from my glowing pupils.
I took my sword and swung.
But before I could kill the target, I found my own dagger in front of my eye.
I backed off and looked at the lady, she was looking at me. Straight in my eyes.
My body started aching because of the continuous use of my skill so I turned it off.
And the moment I did the dagger changed direction mid-flight and left me a deep straight cut across my nose bridge that went until under my eyes.
"You could not kill me even if I only had a finger left."
She was playing.
"Now. Tell me. Who sent you and why."
".....Pirates.. they have my family."
"Generic. Okay. What boat are they on?"
"A ship called the Flaming Heartache."
"That 'ship' is but a rowboat in my eyes. Now <Sit>."
I couldn't help it. Her voice is calm yet dangerous. My legs gave out and I almost kneeled. How did I dare to start a fight with 'that'?
She clapped her hands and the magic circles on the door shattered.
I have no idea how she did it.
Moments later, a group of over level 100 people rushed into the room.
"You idiots." She said.
"Go destroy the Flaming Heartache boat. Someone sent an assassin. I'll lock you in the brig for tonight because it's clear you don't know about windows."
"Y-Yes captain."
The people in the room now with me seemed to be more scared of her than I was.
I heard one of them whisper 'I told you so.' as they quickly started to leave.
"And I expect the people on my ship to leave immediately."
"Yes! Immediately!"
Just who is she?
...
"Anyway boy."
"You can call me Achillie."
"I know your name. You seem like you have some potential. I'll give you the chance to join my crew and earn some money."
"I-.. I am sorry but I don't want to commit crimes to earn money."
"Yet you got sent as an assassin."
"The circumstances differ with this and that."
"And anyway, I don't commit that much crime. We mostly just explore while growing stronger and searching for information."
"What information?"
"I'm not telling an outsider that."
"If you want anything more, I can promise the safety of your family."
"...Will they bring them back safe?"
"If they don't. I will."
...
Minutes later, Mizuki's injuries had mostly healed.
She checked her rewards from the Sanctuary.
[Rewards Include: 1 weapon, 1 piece of armour, 1 miscellaneous item that the user wishes for.]

[-]
Mizuki thought. Not about the weapon and weird armour but about what she should pick.
She placed the Rapier in her inventory and put the stockings on her legs as they were mostly healed already.
Mizuki stood up and walked towards her desk. Opening a drawer, she knew what she needed.
