After the Soldiers made a tent for Nux and Thyra, he saluted and then left.
The Deputy General, who was still bitter about what happened before didn’t say anything and left as well.
Now, only Nux and Thyra were left.
“Hehe~ Are we going for another round?” Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
Thyra, however, shook her head.
“Don’t forget what we are here for.”
“Huh? There are no wars here though? Aren’t we free till the next battle starts?” Nux questioned in confusion.
“We are not here for war alone,
We are here to continue your training.”
“Ah, I thought we would continue my training while we are on the battlefield.”
Nux muttered.
“There is no way I would let you enter the battlefield like you are right now.”
Thyra muttered with a solemn look on her face.
“Huh? Why not?” Nux frowned.
“You have to get used to killing first.”
Nux’s frown deepened.
“Killing a human is different than killing a Beast, Nux. You cannot enter a war without having prior experience of killing, I can’t have you lose your focus just because there is human blood on your face.
This will be the Second Stage of our training, Nux.
The path of an Assassin.
From now on, everything you learn will be from practical experience.”
Thyra muttered as her eyes shined in determination.
Nux smiled and then he kissed her lips and whispered seductively.
“You can do whatever you want with me, my love~
I am all yours~”
A small blush appeared on Thyra’s face, however, it quickly reverted back to normal and her face turned expressionless.
Thyra entered her serious mode.
“Follow me.”
She instructed and turned around.
Nux didn’t ask where they were going, he just followed his teacher with a small smile on his face.
He was looking forward to it.
A few minutes later, Nux noticed that they have entered the Woods Dynasty’s city, this time, they were not using [Conceal], rather, they were using the dark night to hide, just like normal assassins do.
Their footsteps were light and made as little sound as possible.
Someone who is not perceptive enough would never be able to hear it.
In the middle of the night, Nux and Thyra wandered around the silent, deserted streets and after exploring the entire city, they finally stopped.
From the roof of a house, Thyra pointed at the street.
Nux looked where she pointed and found 2 men surrounding a woman.
One had covered her mouth while the other had lifted her legs and was taking her towards a deserted alleyway where no one would find them.
The woman resisted as fiercely as she could, however, in the end, she couldn’t do much against them and was taken away.
There, the man finally removed his hand from the woman’s mouth and she shouted with all her might,
“HELP! HELP ME!”
Panic was clear in her voice, however, the men didn’t care about it, the one covering her mouth now held her two hands on the top of her head.
While the other one was about to remove her clothes.
“Please! Don’t do this! I have a husband! I am begging you, don’t do it!”
With tears all over her face, the woman begged, however, the men didn’t care and continued to do what they were doing.
The man was about to tear open the woman’s gown, however, before he could, his world spun.
‘Huh?’
He noticed that everything had started moving up, he then glanced at his friend, who was looking at him with his mouth opened in shock and before his friend understand what happened, a dagger pierced his neck as well.
The man finally realized,
He was killed by the one who killed his friend.
The world wasn’t moving up, it was his head that was falling.
And as if confirming his thoughts, his eyes turned heavy and his consciousness drifted apart.
The woman who was about to be raped turned pale in horror as she saw a man wearing black-coloured clothes standing in front of her.
“You did not see anything, is that clear?” The man muttered.
The woman blinked a few times, then, she finally realized what had happened, her eyes shined as she quickly stood up and bowed her head,
“T-Thank y-y-you! Thank-k y-you very much!”
“Leave.”
“Y-Yes!”
The woman then ran away, few seconds later, she slipped and fell, however, she quickly stood up and continued to run while tumbling away.
She was grateful to the man who saved her, however, she was too scared to stay there.
Her heart was still beating quickly, she had really avoided a great calamity by hair’s breadth.
After the woman ran away, Thyra appeared and glanced at Nux with a blank look on her face.
“What? You didn’t expect me to wait till they removed all her clothes and save her at the last moment, did you?
I honestly hate that storyline.”
“…”
Thyra, however, did not reply and just stared at Nux.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look a little too handsome today?” Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
“Do you not feel anything?” Thyra questioned.
Nux’s gaze then turned serious, he then glanced at his hands and shook his head,
“I do not.”
Thyra frowned.
“Are you sure you haven’t killed before?”
“Well, I did kill beasts, however, this is my first time killing a human. Maybe it was because I was already prepared for it?
That might be the reason why I don’t feel anything, right?”
Thyra thought about it a little and then, she instructed.
“Alright, now drag these bodies away and bury them somewhere.”
“Hmm? Why don’t we directly use the storage rings?”
“No, I need you to do it without a storage ring.”
“Alright.”
Nux nodded and then he grabbed the legs of the two dead bodies.
Then, he glanced at Thyra.
“You are coming?”
“I will not come with you, do it alone.”
Nux nodded and then left.
Then, he continued to drag the body and soon, he found a perfect place to bury these two bodies.
He started digging the ground and soon, he felt something strange.
He had just killed a human, the realization stuck in.
