-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A man with black hair layered with dark blue hair wearing a glasses was walking down the road. The road was eerily quiet. Clip clop. The sound of the man's brown leather shoes could be heard blocks away. The man is named Faust. He was wearing gray suit with a dark brown overcoat and a dark gray fedora. His hand was covered with black carbon fibre gloves. This gloves was a state of art technologies he bought using a huge amount of CP(Credit Point) from a Merchant.

It was 9 in the night. He made a last check of his equipment. The revolver was fully loaded with 8 bullets, his Candy Gum already in his mouth and his Artifacts were ready to be use at any time. He then walks slowly towards a house. A single floor house with 1 bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.

A guard wearing a mask outside of the house saw him. He started to give warning to Faust.

"Sir I need you to stop there. This place is restricted to any outsider."

Faust pay no heed to the warnings. He started to quicken his pace. The guard brought out his gun and shouted more warnings.

"Sir I need you to stop there, show me your hand and leave this place. If you do not heed my warning I will shoot you sir."

Faust bite the Candy Gum in his mouth. His senses started to sharpen. The guard started shooting. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Four bullets aimed at his head, arms and legs. Faust blocked the bullets using the bulletproof overcoat. He put up his revolver while running towards the house and took aim. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three shots for the head, heart and the gun. The guard slump over and started to bath in his own blood.

Faust waste no time. He kicked down the door, threw a metal sphere inside and hide behind the wall. A second of silence. Boom! The metal sphere exploded. Faust quickly took a peek inside and saw the second guard. He swiftly pull the trigger of his revolver. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Five bullets for the head, heart, a gun the guard is using and two of the leftover bullets for the Alchemist standing behind him.

The second guard fell over like a puppet that it strings has been cut. Two bullets didn't reach the Alchemist because some sparks can be seen. Then the bullets started to suddenly disintegrating.

The Alchemist put his left hand on his Grimoire in the book holder strapped on his left waist and put his right palm out towards Faust. Crackle crackle. Electricity started to surge out of his open palm toward Faust. Faust quickly reached out inside his overcoat and threw a 25cm Dagger Artifact to the surging electricity.
