Region:NorthEast of Isvan-
Location:Shaper's Rest Village-
Takeshi Haruka POV:
Now then of to the Bounty Hunter Association of NorthEast region.
After all I have an elimination list that consists of 8 know bandits.
(8) Bandits hired-
1.) NaoHoshino,aka ScarletViper (S)Rank.
2.)unknown (S)Rank.
3.) unknown (A) Rank.

6.) RaidenTsukino, Also Known As Kuro (A) Rank.
7.) AyameSato ,Also Known As Swift (A) Rank.
8.) HikariKuroi ,Also Known As-Aka(A) Rank.
My first target will be HikariKuroi ,Also Known As-Aka an (A) rank bandit.
I entered the BountyHunterAssociation building.
I walked over to the front register.
"What can I do for you?"
The front register attendant asked me.
"Information about a bandit."
I asked.
"Go down the hall , then make a turn to your right, there should be a room with a blue イ(i) mark symbol on the door."
The front register attendant said while pointing to the direction of the hall.
"Thank you."
I thanked to front register attendant, as I made my way over to the hall, I then took a right turn to enter a room with a door with the blue イ(i) mark symbol.
I opened the door to enter inside the room.
Inside I was met with a room full paper documents.
"What can I do for you?"
I was met with a woman in a business suit and blue mask hiding her identity.
"Information about the bandit HikariKuroi ,Also Known As-Aka."
I said looking for details about them.
"Hmm… this individual..A fee of 35,000 jewels is need in order to reveal the details about them."
"Very well."
I said as I handed over the 35,000 jewels.
Takeshi wallet now-(123,867 jewels)
"Here… is what is known about the individual, they are a woman with bright red wavy sleek bun hair and piercing crimson red eyes, her facial features defined by high cheekbones and a small nose, her skin a radiant pale complexion, she has a sadistic and intimidating aura, her eyes gleam with a malevolent intensity, she wears a dark and ominous outfit that complements her sinister personality, her pose exudes confidence and a sense of dominance, with a hint of a maniacal grin playing on her lips, conveying her enjoyment of violence and killing.
She is involved in multiple killings of women, men and including children, her (A) rank went up to an (A+) bounty on her head, she has recently had killed a noble woman in ShinkaiKingdom, Kingdom-in-the-Northern region of Isvan.
"The kill happened just 5 days ago, last spotted heading somewhere South of Isvan.
"Tell me about the kingdom of ShinkaiKingdom: it might be helpful to narrow down their objective or there real known location.
"Real location? Are you underestimating our intelligence capabilities!"
The businesswoman BHA intelligence said breaking her composure.
It's not like what she said was fake it's that these types of individuals especially this one enjoys the thrill of the hunt and Southern region of Isvan is where the human trafficking organization is at, the bandits only do risk jobs when ever the group makes move which means Nowismytimetostrikethemalldownisnow.
"No. Everything you said has a 80% chance of being true, however the part about heading South is bullshit!"
"Just tell me the known facts about the kingdom of ShinkaiKingdom: it will help me."
I finished speaking to the BHA intelligence agency.
"Fine here is all that's known to the general public, unless you want more then pay the fee of 50,000 jewels.
"Just the free information that is available."
I said not wanting to spend the 50,000 jewels on meaningless things.
"ShinkaiKingdom: This kingdom is characterized by deep ravines and hidden caves, harboring unique minerals and secrets of the earth, their wealth comes over from their secret metals."
This secret metal is the true objective of the groups motive , they are after of buildinganewlaboratory. With those types of metals, not only her but the entire group is searching for different types of materials all over Isvan.
So that means the business or the other organization is a IntelligenceNetwork.
(2) funding operations-
1.)human trafficking Southern of Isvan.
2.) Unknown location(IntelligenceNetwork)
"Well then thank you for the information it was helpful."
I thanked the BHA intelligence businesswoman.

HikariKuroi-Aka POV:
Year:X780 January , Unknown
Region:Unknown-
Location:Unknown-
It's already been 7 whole days since I killed that lazy of a fart noblewoman , I can't believe I killed such a boring creature. Her blood didn't even taste good in fact it tasted like cow blood.
Year:X780 January , 3
I was still in the kingdom of ShinkaiKingdom:
Region:Northern region of Isvan-
Location:the kingdom of ShinkaiKingdom-
See my magic allows me to taste the blood of my victims and allows me to shapeshifter into them, no one has been able to find me only the stupid intelligence agencies, who comes up with the plans.
Right now I'm disguising myself as a woman guard who is guarding the secret metal treasure cave, see thanks to the false intelligence of me leaving south the kingdom has most of its units following that lead including multiple nearby Gulids.
Aughh! I would have loved to find some delightful meals , however I'm stuck in here waiting for the right opportunity to steal as much as I possibly can.
Fuck it!
Let's risk it!
Since it's only two other guards other than me, I should make a diversion to get rid off them.
"Hey…how long to stand on watch my feet are killing me from all that rough hot steaming…"
I was interrupted by a flustered guard on standby who was blushing red.
"I.. don't kn..know!"
How cute a 19 year old male innocent virgin.
"How.. about we take a little break.So that me and you could have some fun!"
I said seductively moving my sexy hips around to provoke the virgin boy.
"Knock it off! Women!"
The other male guard said who looks to be in his late twenties , aww looks like someone hasn't had any action.
"Aww.. Come on I'll let you join in on all the fun too. It will be fun having the both of you hammering away at me."
I said inviting them for a chance of a hot threesome.
"W..well it…"
He muttered over his words, I grabbed hold of their hands and went inside the locked gate cave.
"Do you have the key."
I said as I let the little virgin grope my ass, he then pulls out the key opening the lock gate door.
"We…really shouldn't be doing th.."
The other guard didn't get to finish speaking as I but in saying.
"Aww..come on wouldn't it be thrilling to fuck somewhere in secret…like in the cave like vault."
I said encourage them to take me inside the secret vault.
•click
•creak
Yes!
Now then we all enter inside the cave like vault, since I allowed the two horny dudes grope my sexy body along the way , we stop perfectly in front of a table with two chairs, the table had a book log containing some type of document.
"Alright boys time for some fun get undressed."
I said as I very, very slowly undressed myself, making the chance for a threesome more believable.
•rustle
I removed the standard guard uniform , they did the same turning around removing their clothes.
However I stopped stripping as I pulled out two hidden daggers from my sleeve, I then quickly moved towards the young male by stabbing him in the stomach.
•stab
"Aghh!!!"
"W..Wha.."
The other mature adult man didn't get to finish as I stabbed them in the throat.
•sniff
The smell of blood!
It smells so.. Good!
•lick
I licked the blood from my two daggers.
•lick
Tasty!
I'm so high right now!!
I want more!
However I still have a job to do.
I went over to the table with the book log, I quickly searche through it there was 266 yards (800 feet down) below sea level and counting,my eyes then landed on a page where the tool that is meant to use to collect the metal.
It's a tool made of the same material made into a pickaxe , material rank (A+) to (S+)
Wow!
No wander this material is a secret it has potential to be an (S+) material, however the standard material is an (A+) rank that's what's most impressive usually some materials have a rare quality than the original material.
15 minutes later-
I grabbed at least 4 million jewels worth of this material. I shoved all of the materials into multiple different scroll seals, while I had my own personal storage scroll seal.
I was just about to leave, when I realized the scent of the still bloody corpse, is still there, however I don't know why ,but I have a strange feeling, doesn't I choose to step outside.
•walk
Leaping seal has been activated-

"W..Where am I!!"
I immediately smell the stench of blood.
•sniff
•sniff
Blood!
It's blood!
Yummy!
It smells like cow blood though.
However I snapped out of my high trace as I looked up towards a teenage 14 trying to look cool on a bench.
"I…see…why the rumors say your a vampire, your bloodlust is no different than a shark that smells blood in the water."
The annoying brat said in a tone as if he already knows the truth.
"Fuck you brat!"
I hissed at him, who the hell does this brat think he is.
He then pulls out some type of vile glass, I immediately noticed the blood being stored inside.
He then opened it, it smells like fresh human blood.
•sniff
"Hehuhh! That smells divine, whose blood is that!"
I asked however I could tell that something was familiar of it.
It was the dead noblewoman's blood, how the hell did he get the blood to stay fresh.
"How..your probably asking, however you won't get.
"TO KNOW."
He said as he was standing right to my left shoulder, however blood was gushing from my left hand.
•gush
•thud
"Augh!! You stupid brat."
How the hell did he moved so fast, he cut off my arm off.
However this brat should have finished me off when he had the chance.
"Interesting."
The brat said.
Takeshi Haruka POV:
"Interesting."
I said as I watched HikariKuroi-Aka.
Manipulate her bodies blood by attaching her arm that was cut completely off, was now being attached.
Not only that , but her true appearance was revealed.
A woman with bright red wavy sleek bun hair and piercing crimson red eyes, her facial features defined by high cheekbones and a small nose, her skin a radiant pale complexion.
"Interesting, can you take from of someone by drinking or consuming their blood?"
I asked her however she didn't respond, however a overwhelming bloodlust was being leaked through the air.
She moved quick , however her speed isn't anything ordinary, in fact our speed is almost the same , as we both channel mana into speed and agility to quickly maneuver. I was using my GyuunennoTsurugi (Bull's Yearning Sword)sword I'll save the freshly new (S) rank Sword for the (S) rank bandits.
(Name of Sword: GyuunennoTsurugi (Bull's Yearning Sword)

•clash
•ting
10 minutes later-
We have been fighting for at least 10 minutes, neither of us have been showing signs of slowing down or weakening.
However unfortunately for her my data analysis of her fighting patterns have been reveal for me to exploit.
HikariKuroi-Aka- moved faster than she had ever shown, even so it's pointless to go all out now.
She released two quick dagger slash towards me, I blocked one by shoving the dagger to the side with a weak strike , then the other dagger in her hand was blocked by my sword, then with my left free hand I reached over then pulled on her left shoulder towards me.
This allowed me to pull her towards me, in the same pulling motion, I then delivered a heavy knee strike right at her abdomen area.
•bam
•crack
A piece of chainmail armor was heard being cracked.
"Aghh! Y.."
She didn't get to finish as I delivered more knee strikes right in the same spot.
•bam
"Aghh!"
•bam
"Aghh!"
•bam
"Aghh!"
Finally I delivered a more powerful strike right at the same spot, just enough power to break her rib cage.
•bam
•crack
"Aghhhhh!!!"
She was down on her knees clenching hard on her stomach, she didn't get time to catch her breath as I pulled out an item from my ShadowStorage.
(ShadowStorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
The item in name was ShinjitsunoMuchi (WhipofTruth)
I then wrapped the whip around her, then proceeded integrating.
"What do you know about Brain?"
I asked her.
"I..Don..t…Aghhh!!"
She answered.
"Wronganswer."
"NowWhat do you know about Brain?"
"I..do.. Kno…"
"AghhhhhhhhAghhhh!!!!!"
"M…make…i…it Stop!"
She begged, ah..the irony.
"It will only stop until you start telling the truth."
"NowWhat do you know about Brain?"
"O..Okay here's all I know about him.. He hired me to kidnap some orphans almost 6 years ago.
"It was me and 7 other high level bounty bandits."
She finish speaking.
"Tell me everything you know about them and including the IntelligenceAgency."
I asked however she butted in by saying.
"W…What how.. could you possibly known that."
"Doesn't matter now tell me everything."
"Okay here are the names
1.) NaoHoshino,aka Scarlet Viper (S)Rank
2.)(unknown)MakotoKato Aka TheObsidianPanther (S)Rank

6.) Raiden Tsukino, aka Kuro (A+) Rank
7.) Ayame Sato ,aka Swift (A+) Rank
"However, I really don't know much about the intelligence agency, they can't be found they are the ones that find you."
She finish speaking.
"When was the last time you had contact with them!"
I asked her.
"9 days ago, where ever they are ,there now long gone."
She replied.
"When was the last time you made contact with the other known bandits!"
I asked her since this was my last question.
"I made contact with Ayame Sato ,aka Swift and Raiden Tsukino, aka Kuro,4 days ago one of the mentioning going somewhere NorthEast region of Isvan and the other is somewhere Western region of Isvan.
"I see thank you, you have been a good help."
I said as I reach over my pocket then pulled out a Lacrima BHA signal.
"Does that mean your going to let me go."
She said in a soft and seductively voice as she moved her hips and how the whip had a tight hold on her making her cleavage slightly expose, that almost made me forget about my mission.
"Yeah…I'm letting you go… Straight to hell!"
I said, as I swing my sword.
•swish
•slice
•gushing
Blood was gushing out from the headless body.
•thud
Then her body drop to the ground.
That makes the List (1/8).
