Acting 101

<Killigan Northanrey>

It has been a week since I've captured Dylan and Tessa within my grasp. Many tourist, nobles from various different states and kingdoms are coming to Northanrey to witness the greatest show of all time hosted by the one and only P. T. Barnum.

Dylan has made his script. I have anonymously invited the owner of the theater using a flamboyant invitation that will definitely caught his eyes, the invitation is red with a stamp in the middle but this stamp is no ordinary stamp it's the stamp of a royalty which Tessa recreated using her Toxic magic. Inside the invitation is a paper that has all the evidence that the current Northanrey leader is corrupt and has a location, set date, and a precise time stamp.

He doesn't know who the sender of the invitation is, so it is speculated that he will be high on guard when meeting with me.

That's when Tessa came in and knock out the guards and mind control the owner into submitting to me. Tessa though, is worried, I see it through her actions. She said that her aether skill are sometimes useless to many rich people, because some rich nobles that she previously come to know have acquired themself a unique artifact that can amplify any psycho attacks.

I didn't know about this 'artifact' that Tessa is talking. It wasn't mentioned in any books I've read. She said that it's unknown to the public that's why there's none in the book.

The artifact that Tessa was preaching about is called Phoeltics and they're actually drugs that somehow protects the brain and soul from any external danger.

That's issue number 1. Issue number 2 is that I can't get my mom to buy me tickets, that issue is soon taken care of though.

I begged my mom to get me a ticket to the show, I tried manipulating her but somehow sophisticated psychology tricks doesn't work on her, hmm.. strange.

So, I used underhanded tactics like using my adorableness as her son.

She give in eventually and bought 2 tickets for me and her. That stumblebum refused to buy the tickets for her. So she bought it with her own money.

I ordered Tessa when the show starts, she is to be disguised as one of the staff and since elf staffs are not uncommon, she can blend in well.

In Thrytinia, elfs, demihumans, and other humanoid species aren't disgraced or looked down upon. Of course there are still minor racism cases left and right but that's just how human truly is, narrow-minded.

Logically, without racism the world wouldn't have developed. Many wars have been waged because of species discrimination and through those wars comes with many technological, cultural developments and many other multi-species inventions.

It's now close to midnight and I already wore my assassin's satire. I open my window to sneak out and closed it afterwards. I dropped down.

"Hello!" Tess said.

"Oh! Hi Tess, let's go." I reply.

It's time to meet the owner and try striking a deal with him.

Tessa tapped her scepter on the ground. Winds enveloped both of us and we flew a way.

"Do you know where the meeting place is?" I ask, genuinely confused though since I haven't had the chance to tour the city, I asked Tessa to determine which place is the best to meet in secret.

"Just shh.. Sit back and enjoy the ride." She hushed me closing her face to mine and her index finger zipping my mouth.

In a deserted alleyway,

"Carol! Do you really think they will show up. What if it's a trap or some brat's tomfoolery (ancient way of saying prank)." An older man with a very.. unique face, full of makeup and dressed in an all white tuxedo with a luxurious cane on his hand said.

"It's the royal stigma boss. No ordinary brat could remember even the tiniest detail of it and that paper regarding the Northanrey's corruption, this meeting is.. a matter of relevance boss." A girl with full black tuxedo prepared with 2 protruding dagger on her back said.

Then, a boy with midnight black full satire and a comfortable looking scarf covering the lower part of his face approached the alleyway with no sounds nor presence.

"See, boss. Someone did came." The girl say. Her face is now all smug and confident when she realized that this boy whoever he is, clearly isn't a mana user since she felt no mana signature.

"You must be Mr. Ulysses, I've come as a messenger from my master whose name I couldn't mention." The boy bowed a little and stared at the eyes of the two.

"Your master, is he the one who sent me that interesting.. evident for the Northanrey's corruption?" The odd man said. The girl couldn't help but look at the the man ridiculously.

He's the only one that showed up of course he gotta be the one you stupid fuck is what the girl in tuxedo has thought.

"Yes of course Mr. Ulysses. *blushes* I'm sorry sir I couldn't help but marvel at your serene.. makeup." The boy said. The old man stared at the boy with full of wonders in his eyes. However the girl didn't, she stared at the boy in admiration.

"This boy looks so young yet he can fake a blush and acted superbly. Boss! We need to recruit this boy as one of your gua-." The girl said but was interrupted by the man.

"This boy! Muah! Magnificent! Your taste for make up is- *chef kiss* Mama mia! Boy! You won my heart come! I'll escort you to the nearest restaurant and talk to our greatesstttt extentto!" The man weirdly said while grabbing Killigan's shoulder and shoved him away from the filthy alleyway.

The girl followed them, still having stars at her eyes as she looked at the boy in front of him full of admiration.

The boy however suddenly fell, but was caught swiftly by the girl. "Are you alright boy?!" The girl asked. The boy looked up in gratitude,

"Umu! Thank you." That fall was a disguise. He looks up while laying down in the girl's arm to see another girl with a scepter on top of the roof, silently watching them. The boy suddenly winks at the scepter girl and returned to his original posture.

Receiving the signal, the scepter girl disappeared instantly without a trace.
