"So this is it?" The cashier asked watching the black clothes, ropes, and a huge black cape in the desk.
The cashier was a young woman, around her twenties, long black hair and black eyes. She was using a long brown skirt and a white blouse with holes on it, clearly the style of the blouse.
"Yes, Ma'am." Finn responded
"It will be 3,500 jewels" the woman said.
"Here!" Finn placed quickly 4,000 jewels in the desk "take the change... you look like you need it" Finn said watching the teared blouse of the woman as he takes everything and walk towards the entrance.
"Excuse me! Hey, I don't... it's just the style of the blouse" the young woman tried to explain, but finn didn't pay attention and simply walk off.

Finn walked out of the town, in direction to a near forest where was last time seen the bandits. Lifting his head he noticed that the sun was going down already, and it was just matter of minutes before the night arrives.
With a heavy sigh, Finn jumped from the ground and landed on a tree before start jumping from tree to tree. He found out that he could last an entire day using the partial take over to use the chakra system. He speculate that it was because he wasn't using many chakra and was actually controlling it continuously which made it easier to his magic to maintain it.
Finn thought, jumping with his back pack on his shoulder.
Fortunately, finn didn't have to look for much. He watched smoke between the trees a few meters away and as he got closer he could hear some voices laughing and joking.
"Hahaha, I can't believe how easy is to steal from wizards!" A bandit laugh watching one of the wooden boxes they stole.
"I told you, man. Those stupid wizards aren't big deal, I don't know why people think so high of them~" another bandit responded, taking a sip from his beer.
Slowly finn put out the clothes he bought in the store before and began to change quietly.
Forest, near clover town. Midnight
Finn watched the bandits felt asleep, knowing that it was the perfect time to act. Slowly he walked through branches, getting closer to the camp the bandits made.
<¡It's time!> Finn put on his black cape, covering his face totally. "¡I'm the night!"
Finn screamed, jumping from a tree and landing with his knees in the stomach of a bandit.
"¡Agh!" The bandit screamed and finn acted quickly tying him from his neck with his rope before jumping again to the trees and taking the bandit with him.
"What the hell?!"
The other bandits woke up just to see a black mass grabbing one of them and pulling him to the dark forest.
All the bandits joined quickly in the middle of the camp, trying to watch her back each other.
"Come on, let's turn the fire on again... it's our only way to see something" a bandit suggested, kneeling down slowly and turning over to try to fired up the campfire.
"What the fuck, man? I didn't sign up for this!" Another bandit yelled
"Is one of those wizards, right?!" Another bandit said aloud.
"Hahaha... may be, may be not... why don't you come over and find out?" Finn's young voice came from the darkness of the forest.
The laughs of finn in the dark night sent a chill through the bandits body. Why would a kid be in the middle of the forest at midnight? Is the question that passed in all the bandits minds.
"That can't be a kid... clover town is the nearest town here and the guards would never let a kid go outside the forest" a bandit commented with his hands slightly shaking.
"Hahahaha"
Another laughs came from behind them before one of the bandits were kicked to the ground. Finn used the bandits head as a plataform to jump to the other side of the forest.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" The bandit that was turning on the campfire screamed tired.
"Come here to find out~..." Finn's voice came from the forest again, daring them to step inside
The bandits turn over to the forest, watching a black figure squatting on the top of a tree, looking at them intensely.
"What is that?..."
"¡Agh! HELP..."
One of the bandits screamed as he was pulled to the forest. Finn placed his cape on the top of the tree with some branches just to distract the bandits. Then, when they were focused on the cape, he kicked the head of one bandit and pulled him from his legs inside the forest.
"Please, stop... I have kids" one of the bandits cried, desperate.
"Good, I'll go for them too" Finn's voice came from the bandit's back before he was pulled to the forest too.
The last bandit heard the screams of his colleagues coming from the dark forest, he cuddle next to a box of supplies, trying to cover his ears and not hear the screams.
A few seconds later the forest went silence, a deep and dangerous silence. The bandit watched intently the dark forest, no wanting to take his eyes off from the forest, the danger.
"Bastard... who are you?..." the bandit asked sobbing, all his colleagues just dissappeared in front of him and he couldn't do nothing.
Slowly, a black figure rose over the box the bandit was cuddling next to. The full moon on the sky illuminated the figure, producing a dark shadow that covered the bandit.
"¡I'M THE NIGHT!..."
10 minutes later
Finn was sitting on one of the boxes, checking the list of supplies it were supposed to be there.
"Looks like everything is here" Finn said, before turning his sight to the tied bandits.
Until this night, Finn didn't stopped to think in the huge difference in strength between regular humans and wizards. He always thought it was just some wizards, the elite between wizards, that possesses a huge strenght, but here was him, still just 12 but already strong enough to punch to unconscious a person.
Then, there's fact that he can use chakra to increase slightly his strength, a single punch is enough to knock out a regular civilian, like those bandits tied in front of him now.
