14.5: My training as a Swordswoman
When I woke up, I didn't instantly open my eyes. I wasn't handcuffed. That probably meant that I was in a closed room, alone. I imagined that they would be training me for something, but I didn't know for what exactly. I knew that [A]... no, Azezal would be training for killing, however, what would I do? He is supposed to be the blade, or sword, and I am supposed to be the Swordswoman. 'Will I be able to control him or boss him around?' Just thinking about it made me strangely happy. After all, if I could, I would like a small revenge for going against me last time. 'Maybe not something really serious, but maybe making him feel ashamed, or stuff like that would really be good...' Imagining him blushing fiercely, I giggled quietly. 'Can you stop it? It's quite creepy...' Said Eev to me. 'I know... Urgh...'
I lazily I stretched my body... Usually, I would wake up to Azezal sound of training, and began training myself as soon as I could to not fall behind him in terms of training. However, today, he wasn't here, so I could do things slowlier than usual... a pleasure I surely would take my time to enjoy.
After some minutes minutes of lazing around, I opened my eyes slightly and got up. Before me, there were some blueprints, diagrams, and some files of what seemed to be a building. I spent the days studying them and memorizing them.
The blueprint was the building blueprint for what seemed a dojo, the diagram described the zone and surrounding the building. It had suplementary files explaining fauna, flora, and detailing which elements could be used for making sleeping drugs, poison, ways to bait some people out to pacify animals and how to enrage the animals... It made clear (if it wasn't clear enough already) that I would have to devise the plan for the assassination, while Azezal would carry out my orders and kill that person.
Then, there were some files describing certain people.
------------------------------------
Gabriel:
Race: Human (Unknown bloodline, possibly of far draconic origins.)
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Rebirth: Light, Sword, Space.
Occupation: Knight of the Blood Empire.
Background: A commoner born in the 4th district, brought up by his mother. His father died in the first world war. He was brought up by his mother, who worked as a maid for the duke Gnidah.
His rebirth was a tri-skill: Light, Sword and Space, which gave him a place to learn under the wing of the target.
Due to the Space element in his rebirth, he is suspected to have draconic ancestry.
Currently, he works at the 4th district under the orders of the duke Gnidah. He has shown to be skillful with the sword and dedicated to his practice, and is the first disciple of the target.
Orders:Dispose of him if it is needed for the assassination.
------------------------------------
Diana:
Race: Human? (Unknown bloodline)
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Rebirth: Unknown
Occupation: Mercenary (Former) Knight (Currently)
Background: There is no register of her existance until six years ago. Bandits imprisioned her as a slave, but after being sold in the 4th district, her former master was found dead. There wasn't enough evidence, and there were no witnesses willing to talk, so she couldn't be held captive or be executed, but she was the most prime suspect. After becoming free from slavery, she became a Mercenary that mostly got rid of criminals, until she decided to join the knights. Some time later, she became the target's disciple.
Orders: Due to her unknown background, do not interact with her if possible.
------------------------------------
Jumonji:
Human (Bloodline of the Wolf)
Gender: Male
Age: 70
Rebirth: Sword
Occupation: Knight (Former) Swordsman (Currently)
Background: Born in the first district and raised by a noble minor family in the first district that carried the blood of a Wolf. His family was one deeply related to war, but after taking part in the first world war, he resignated from his job as a knight, became a hermit, and went to live to the Blood Peak, near the Fourth district. He has accepted two disciples until now.
Ever since his resignation, he has shown dissaproval to the empire's action's. He also rejected the assault to the Lunar Empire.
Orders: Target. Kill at all costs.
------------------------------------
Our first target seemed to be an old war knight, who rejected the empire's actions and ideals. Since he was an hermit, it shouldn't be hard. After all, there would only be three people there. Stealth shouldn't be much of a problem.
Even if there weren't many herbs, or tree fruits, there were indeed many trees, so there were both herbivorous and carnivorous animals.

Time passed. I had studied down to the tiniest detail of all the papers. I already could imagine some ways to do this while following all the orders.
I was ready.
As I heared the gas entering the room, I lied down and closed my eyes, in anticipation of what was to come.
