Ch.11

"Who is this old man?"

Daemon and Lucifer were walking down the street together. While Daemon had his hands in his pocket with a cap on his head, Lucifer was enjoying a small slice of cake.

"Well hes the person who assigns me jobs."

"Is this business...illegal?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, I see. When and what...was your last job."

"Well, I tell him a time when I'm free and he gives me a time period to complete that job. Yesterday, I actually finished a job."

"Oh, I see."

"And it was information on The Fire King."

"Hm? The Fire King? What...did you get?"

Daemon then stopped in front of an alley, causing Lucifer to stop as well.

"I'll...tell you later. For now, we have to be quite."

Daemon put his finger up to his lip while walking forwards. Lucifer nodded, threw the paper plate and spoon away into a nearby garbage can, and followed after him.

After walking in the slightly dark alley for a bit, they both arrived at a door. 'Closed huh?' Daemon opened the door and Lucifer followed behind.

"Oh? Daemon? Your back already?"

There was a white haired man cleaning a glass bottle behind a bar. As Lucifer was closing the door, he looked around at the place. It was older than most buildings. The designs were something from 300 years back.

"And what's this? You brought a lady friend?"

Daemon and Lucifer sat down at the bar. The old man was already bending down to get his special juice.

"What do you want Ms.?"

Lucifer oddly enough didn't mind be calling a girl. He did say it was a common mistake, so he probably just let's it slide.

"I..would like to have apple juice."

"Oh? Is that your favorite type of juice?"

"Yes.."

The old man then looked at Daemon and winked. Daemon shook his head as the old man placed a bottle on the table.

"For God Only?"

"Yeah. If your here, then you probably know who Daemon truly is right?"

Lucifer looked at Daemon out of the corner of his eyes. 'He..made him put a label on juice.' The old man then started pouring the juice into two cups.

"Uhm...I..wanted apple juice."

"And apple juice is what your getting little lady."

"Eh?.."

"Yeah, that's right. You both like apple juice. Isn't that something?"

Lucifer went silent as he heard that. 'We even have that in common? We like the same sort of ice cream flavor, drink, and even music...' He couldn't help but think that fate was playing a role in this once again.

"So, why are you here Daemon?"

He passed each of them the glass full of apple juice.

"Your not even gonna ask about my first day?"

"Well, seeing as you made yourself a girlfriend on the first day, I thought there was no need to ask."

The old man laughed as Daemon stared at him while drinking.

"So, why are you here Daemon? You obviously didn't come here just to drink."

"Maybe I did."

"Why are you here Daemon."

The two stared at each other while Lucifer looked over at the small tv hanging from the wall in the corner. The news about the S ranks accepting people as students has already spread around the world.

"Old man. I...want my job back. And I want you to hire Lucifer as an Assassin/Spy."

"Oh. Okay. You should have just said that. Is she qualified?"

Daemon wasn't surprised by his sudden acceptance. Without Daemon, this place would be in the ground.

"Yep. Qualified enough at least."

"I see. If you say it, then it must be true."

The glass in Daemons hand then disappeared and what appeared next was a piece of paper in his mouth. Daemon frowned at that while the old man laughed.

"You and your switch magic..."

The old man has a unique magic called, Switch. He can replace an object with another, allowing something similar to teleportation. This does not work on living things however. The range is almost infinite as well. Though, he has to have came within 5 feet of both objects that he wants to switch before his magic actually works.

"Here Lucifer. Just fill out what it says to fill out and your hired."

Daemon passed him the paper and Lucifer accepted it. 'This easy? They seem to be close, so maybe hes just doing Daemon a favor.' Lucifer looked over the paper.

The only thing that was on it was a [false name] that he could use, magic and occupation. 'False name huh?..' Lucifer then proceeded to fill out the necessary information and soon handed the paper back.

"So you wanna actually be an assassin/spy? You do understand what you would have to do right?"

The old man pulled the paper down from his vision and stared at Lucifer. 'Killing people. Bad people. That's...fine right?' Lucifer then looked at Daemon and saw a cup appear in his hand.

'God has a right to punish those who are bad. Wait, does God do that? Or is it Lucifer?'

"Yes. I understand that from today onward, I will be killing people for money and benefit."

"Then its done."

The paper disappeared from his hands and two rings appeared next.

"You obviously can't do missions on your own right now, so until you get used to it, you both will be partners."

He sat one ring down in front of the two and they picked it up in confusion.

"The rings work as a GPS/Earpiece. You could do more things on it as well like play music or even games."

They slowly nodded and put the rings on. Their technology is very advanced, so they didn't need to question the functions.

When they put it on, they felt a slight pain in their ring finger as multiple needles attached itself to their fingers. After that, a screen appeared in front of their face.

[Welcome.]

That was all it said.

"How do we use them old man?"

Daemon question as the both stared at the screen in confusion.

"You have to press it with your mind. After that, everything should be set and you two will have officially became partners."

They did what the old man said and pressed it with their minds. In the next moment, light green enveloped their vision. One the green, it showed statics and charts, random stuff like that.

It also showed their body and gave information off to the side of it like height and stuff.

"This is pretty cool old man. Where'd you get them?"

Daemon and Lucifer were both impressed as they never seen or heard of this before.

"Its new to the black market."

"Black market eh? I need to go shopping there some times."

Daemon and Lucifer then looked at each other. When they did, each of them appeared next to their body in the green vision. Daemon could see Luicifers information and Lucifer could see his.

"It says that we're registered now..."

"Good. With these, communication will be a lot smoother..."

Daemon nodded and got up. Seeing that, Lucifer slightly bowed to the man and got up as well.

"Tell us when we can take a job old man. Make it easy okay?"

Daemon waved while he walked to the door. Lucifer continued following while checking out the functions. He was trying to get to the music player.

"Okay. Make it easy. Got it."

Daemon opened the door and Lucifer walked out without noticing. Daemon then closed the door and the two walked towards the road.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to take on a job like this."

Lucifer then looked over at Daemon. Before they left, Daemon tied his hair into a ponytail with two small strings of hair on each side of his face.

"Me...too actually. I don't understand why I would risk my life for something like this."

Daemon then spotted an arcade and pointed at it.

"Wanna go there? If your free of course."

Noticing where he was pointing, he checked his pockets and shook his head.

"I'm broke right now. Thats...another reason why I took this job."

"Oh, I see. How did you survive before?"

"Well before school started, I worked at a small convenience store."

"Oh. Well that doesn't matter. This one's on me, okay?"

Daemon patted his back, causing Lucifers lip to curl. 'Hes too nice to me. First he exposed a secret that barely anyone knows about, got me a job, and is now paying for things like an arcade game. I thought I would be living a boring life for the rest of my life, but now I know that isn't true. It..will be fun with Daemon around.'

"Thank you."

Daemon nodded and the two walked across the street and into the arcade.
