Nami landed on a soft surface with a light thump. Then Nami opened her eyes slowly, the room was lit very dimly, with only a light bulb hanging from the ceiling. She looked at the centre of the room where a big boxing arena was. The room was cold and smelled of alcohol. Shane stood up and lended a hand for Nami to support on. Nami took his hand and got up patting herself to make sure the dust was gone.

Shane began to walk into the arena and Nami followed closely behind him. She stumbled a couple of times because she could barely see where she was going. Then when Shane abruptly stopped, Nami bumped into his behind and Shane chuckled, that caused Nami to blush but to her relief no one could see.

“Hey, Dark!” Shane said.

There was a long silence. Then a little sound made Nami nearly scream, but she remembered Shane was there.

“Well, well, if it isn’t one of my million of students, Shane. What can I do for you?” The shadow asked.
“You can help, by making this rogue here, an official Assassin, and soon would be good, Dark Lord.” Shane replied.
“Very well, who do we have here?” Dark Lord asked.

Shane nudged Nami to answer. Nami started nervously.

“My n-name’s Nami, sir.” Nami replied.
“Ah, I remember you, you were scared the first time you met me. Remember?” Dark Lord asked.
“Yes, I do. You are the one that appointed me as a Rogue when I was young.” Nami replied.

Dark Lord just nodded.

“So do you think you’re strong enough to become an Assassin?” Dark Lord asked.
“Yes I do, sir.” Nami replied.
“Very well, hand this to the instructor on top of the electrical pole.” Dark Lord said as he handed Nami a letter enclosed in an envelop.

Nami took it and slipped it into her belt. Nami bowed in respect and Shane led her out through a door. Shane hasted Nami and led her towards the other instructor. Shane stopped and handed Nami another bag, Nami opened it and found lots of potions and 3 more new sets of stars. Nami looked up and smiled at Shane.

“Thank you.” Nami said.
“No problem, just get through it.” Shane said.
“Why did you give me these?” Nami asked seriously.
“Because you need them to pass, and I believe that you can.” Shane said confidently.
“Thank you, again.” Nami said with a smile.

When they finally reached the instructor, he was sitting on the pole with really sharp stars in his hands, then Nami realized that it was Steely. Shane cleared his throat, that caught the instructor’s attention.

“She’s here to go through the test to become an Assassin.” Shane decleared.

The instructor just nodded and hopped off of the pole. He held out his hand and Nami handed him the letter. He read it over carefully and nodded again.

“Get everything ready, once you enter, the only way out is death.” The instructor reminded grimly.

Nami nodded with confidence and tightened the belt around her waist. She slipped the stars into the claw so the stars can easily slip into her claw for when she throws it. She tied her shoes and her hair. She smiled at Shane and the instructor cleared his throat.

“Time to go.” The Instructor said.

Nami nodded as the instructor placed a hand on her shoulder. He closed his eyes as Nami felt a rush of heat through her body. When Nami opened her eyes again, she was in a different place. The instructor then told her that she had to collect 30 Dark Marbles. He said that not all monsters contain them and that some monsters are stronger than usual and some weaker.

Nami nodded. The instructor told her she had 30 minutes to complete the test.

Nami without a another word, jumped towards the monster. The monsters were a blue mushroom and a one eyed white monster. Nami started attacking, it took Nami a few hits to finish them. Nami managed to kill a few of the mosnters and some of them were really strong.

Nami was almsot done. She had 26 Dark Marbles. Just then the one eyed monster jumped on Nami from behind. She tried to get up but couldn’t. Then a mushroom hopped over beside Nami and slammed down onto her head.

Nami’s thoughts were scrambled, and the last thing she thought about before she blacked out was Kuroki. She remembered his smile and his tanned face. She felt something wet and sticky on the side of her head. Then the rest of the world faded around her.

The End.

Chyeahhhh Right!
