Chapter 81: Bounty Mission (7)
Chapter 81: Bounty Mission (7)
~Jack POV~
Having a curiosity about this I began to use
[Neopolitan (Trivia Vanille) – Lv.120 Smug Assassin]
[Neo that was now taken by surprise by the target heal her voice made her conflicted about the whole situation.
She was ordered to take him alive by Cinder order but now that he cured her of her mute voice as well as the scars, she was having an internal struggle to properly help the target out, but her situation prevents her.
Thus, after debating for a long while she came up with the deal to pay him back for her lifelong trouble and current scars gone healed with the deal and favor.]
Oh?
I see so she really is appreciative of me healing her but having a debate about the whole thing makes sense.
At least with Neo the very least.
But at least with this, I can keep my team safe from them for the time being even though it's a temporary solution but even if the Fall of Beacon happens I doubt Neo would waste the energy to fight me.
I'll deal with her if it comes to that but for now, I lack the strength to do anything in the future I should do something about that soon.
Knowing her backstory as well as her family problems I could understand a bit but I have to play the part as well as curiosity about why she came to this conclusion, "Ok. Say I accepted the deal but tell me why you came to this conclusion after the treatment I have done to you?"
Neo just stares at me dumbly like what I said was dumb.
That was when Neo began to point some things out to me while being bound making me do a double take in my head, "You aren't the type. You seem to know me a bit but at the same time, I don't know you. Adding the fact, you left me alive not knocked out like the rest and healed me of my own problems you are a goodie too shoes. Yet…"
She stops a bit as she tilts her head but then shook her head keeping what she thought in her mind to herself.
Ok…
This really makes me on guard as I never really have any thoughts of my enemies examining me…
…
Hmm…
Then again I guess I never have faced someone who can analyze me before so this is new territory for me but I should be wary anyway.
I really need to up my game of people knowing me but then again, I'm only doing this to get a skill from Neo since I can't get it by any normal means in the
There was no way I could do so normally but if I prolong this though that's a different story.
With the excuse of this failed Bounty Mission, I can at least get something from her.
Though I bet I'm going to get scolded or something because of getting caught off guard by this against mind attackers.
I was lucky enough that I had the skill to deal with that better get going to gather skills and train my body more.
Although I should find a way to delete memories skill related soon or a storage-based one for knowledge would be ideal.
Neo remained silent I began to hear the news I wanted to hear after waiting about 12 hours with Neo not wanting me dead.

Yes, physical illusions.
With enough practice, I can practically fool a lot of people with different disguises just need to upgrade this with more time.
Huh?
Suddenly a rush of info filtered inside my head as one of my clones returned back to me with the info of my team is here coming to pick me up I sigh at this dispelling the rest of my clones.
More info entered my mind my other clones already rounded up the Spider Thugs since we can at least say we captured the grunts that had any info of Lady Beat as I spoke to Neo in a defeated tone, "Sorry Neo but this time my team is here to pick me up. Now then… will you really agree to the terms that your group won't actively hunt my friends"
Hearing my words her eyes widen a bit before shrugging them off while she speaks out loud to me with her eyes narrowing at me, "You have my word on that unless you start fighting us after that point it's self-defense. But if your friends find you with me soon… then that's a whole different story."
Right.
Agreeing I began to hurry up and leave the place using
With that I left the area and immediately took the Aura Suppressor cuffs on me to give my group proof of what happened as well as explain how I took out a group of guards within the area.
/////
Walking around with caution recalling where my team will meet me, I began to act feign by acting vigilant with my Red Riot and Destiny's Ward in my hand as I senses someone around the corner.
Activating my Destiny's Ward into its Hand Canon mode I began to aim as I looked shocked seeing my team along with Glynda already having her crop we all stop when their eyes landed on me.
Seeing the situation calmed down with a breath of relief I spoke out acting out, "Oh… I thought you guys were another Spider grunt. Thank goodness it's only you guys."
Seeing me alive and well Nora was the first to be vocal about my return she has her arms up with her hammer in hand, "Fearless leader! You are completely alright and were you the one that took care of those grunts? "
Nodding at this Pyrrha soon came to hug me surprising me a bit before tearing up slightly making her this worried, "Next time Jack rely on us to help you. I'm sorry that we weren't there to save you."
Brushing off the tears from Pyrrha's face with a light smile on my face making her blush at my actions, "No worries Pyr. Hope you like the new nickname the previous one I made was bad please tell me it's better?"
Pyrrha merely laughs lightly seeing me trying to cheer the redhead up.
Ren pats me over the shoulder with genuine surprise in his voice but also pride out of the ninja man, "I have to admit leader you had us worried when you got captured. But after seeing you manage... I'm sorry for ever doubting you fearless leader."
Did... is Ren feeling ok?
Blinking and accepting the compliment I turned my attention to Glynda as she sighs at the scene.
Glynda spoke to me directly pointing out the obvious to me listening to her words, "Nights why didn't you contact the Headmaster or your teams about your predicaments of the situation using your Scroll?"
Hearing her words I immediately replied to her in a conflicted tone of my voice explaining my reasonings, "I couldn't at the time. I wasn't sure if I was going to be exposed to their hackers or if they would be informed by you guys since at the time I managed to see the people in the café were part of the Spider Gangs with their tattoos. I can't exactly reveal to them my hand informing you or my Team would tip them off. But seems like it was wasted."
Listening to my words I made sure to have a valid reason why I couldn't really be because of the Spider Grunts then Glynda gave a defeated voice, "Sigh… you are correct to assume that. We weren't in the correct state of ourselves and let you be kidnapped. Sigh…"
Shaking her at this she then became more assured now that I was safe, she began to talk about the grunts I capture, "Still despite being outnumbered you managed quite well to detain all the Spider members unharmed. Shame that Lady Beat escaped but your safety is much more important."
Nodding in understanding my team began to apologize to me for being brainwashed or knocked out when in their eyes I needed them…
Eh…
Would've been great to have them when I did but I managed through plus I have a clone army in the waits with my
Forgiving them Glynda rounded up the Spider grunts with her
Shame I didn't complete my mission originally but I did gain some experience in this I also know that someone is providing the criminals with magic artifacts as well.
This certainly becomes more interesting the second but two weeks off is soon approaching as I'm going to use that time to properly train and with my
But combined is another story.
Still, though… the feeling of being wanted again does feel nice.
I wonder how my folks are doing back home.
…
Sigh…
No use wondering about all of that…
I already made peace with it since I'm stuck in this world by Gaia when I get to be the strongest, I can be then I will find a way home or…
Make a new home here…
Turning my head and following my group I have to still say despite how much this bounty mission failed I couldn't deny I did get experience and EXP out this.
Wonder if we can do another one in the near future.
