Renji stood backing the group. His posture was poised and firm. Unaffected by the passing of time. He stood straight, hands behind and head forward. The aura of a soldier still resonated from him.
Renji's gaze was on the full moon, from time to time he took deep lungful of air and smiled. The night was going to get bloody. Three nights a farmer had contacted the guild, with teary eyes she had begged Renji to save her daughter from the Commissioner of food and agriculture; the pot bellied Ichiho Yori. Of course for a small commission, Renji happily accepted the job. Ichiho was a worm, a short and fat slimy worm that was feasting on the people's little crumb.
"We have a mission," Renji began, speaking for the first time after two hours of staring through the window.
"Ichiho Yori, appointed commissioner of food and agriculture. For three years now Ichiho has used his position to intimidate and blackmail the people. Being one responsible for transporting to the emperor, he has taken the liberty to the increase the proportion of taxed food, greedily diverting a sizeable fortune for himself. Two weeks ago, talks of bountiful harvest filled the street, today the people are starving. It's time to take this canker worm out." Renji paused then approached the table at the middle. He brought out from his cloak a scroll and unveiled it on the table to reveal a map.
"Two years ago. After i escaped the Dungeon of Agony i went after Ichiho Yori. I managed to get past his Delta Class users with ease and came one on one with the fat monster. I had him in close range for my ethereal strike and just when i was about unleashing it, he was gone. I failed. It was there and then that i learnt what his Teigu was really capable of. Teleportation. Maybe even more. I had underestimated the rascal and he had slipped from my grasp... but he won't this time.
Renji went on to explain the task before them. Ichiho's villa was walled high, imperial soldiers mounted on the wall, watching day and night, taking shifts to ensure steady rotations. Pass the wall was the 450 meters courtyard adorned with statues and flowers. Two Alphas stood at the entrance of the house. Four Imperial guards patrolled the halls inside. After Renji's failed assassination attempt two years ago, Ichiho had prioritized security.
Yet none of these posed a problem. The task was how to get past the wall, The Alpha users, the four imperial guards to Ichiho without him knowing it and whooshing off into thin air.
"I had The Alchemist prepare a powder. Once this gets into his system. It will neutralise the connection to his spirit Teigu giving us thirty minutes to end the worm's life before the powder wears off. Now the trick is how to do that. He finally stopped talking and went for his tea. Allowing the information and the question to sink in.
