Mission Request.

Neo walked into the office, hiw entire body and face bandaged and covered this time rather then just simply an eye. His kusarigama strapped to his side, with the chain wrapped around his right arm, his Fuma on his back, weapon pouch on his leg and both hands hiding from within his pockets. He approached the desk, standing not far from it as he spoke clearly, "I'd like to take a C-Rank mission." Despite the lack of the curious Please and thankyou, Neo spoke in a respectable manner, obviously not wanting to be rejected. He waited patiently for the response.

The Receptionist would look at the boy before smiling and knowing that he had come to get a mission, she would raise her finger telling him to wait a moment as she was typing something and when she finished she would stop and look over her desk at him. Looking for a mission I take it, we have a C-rank weeding mission and a C-rank mission for organizing the library. Both can be solo'd if you like so which would you prefer. she said waiting for the boys response as this was probably his first mission.

Neo single visible eye close for a short moment before opening to give a cold stare at the receptionist. It seems there will be no quelling of the blood thirst today, Neo's hand removed themselves from his pocket as he gave his response. "Library." The one word answer showing his distaste, yet acceptance of the situation. It seems none of his gear was really needed, yet Neo will refuse to part with them under the slight hopes of a book monster. From behind the clothing covering his mouth, Neo smirked at the stupidity of his thoughts, waiting patiently for the receptionist to give him a briefing.

Alright well you know where the library is right it's in this building the second floor once you get there head to the back there should be a pile of books which need organizing you can leave when your done and report back here. I'll confirm with the librarian if your done and you'll get paid for it. the receptionist said noticing the glare she got, kids these days never appreciating simple missions then when they get older they begin to pray for easy going missions. She would wave her hand dismissing the boy so that he could get going and what not.

Neo sighed, nodding his head respectfully at the receptionist knowing full well that his stare made him look like a total stuck up prick. But her not liking him was all for the better, getting close to others will only bring further danger upon them, at least for now anyway. Neo turned and left, closing the door to the main office softly as he walked away, his weapons giving him no fatigue as he walked the corridors of the building heading the quickest route to the library. It was easily achieved, and despite only having been at the school for the short period of time, Neo had made sure full well that he memorised all its paths and shortcuts, each and every corridor and every open space access able by students. During the morning Neo even made an effort to search the restricted areas of the school in case he needed a quick escape for any…unexpected reasons. Neo arrived at the library without much time being lost, walking in carelessly to find the library almost empty besides a few students, and a common librarian to keep watch. She glared angrily at him, pointing to the sign at the entrance stating “no weapons allowed”. He sighed once more, shifting off his gear and leaving it beside her desk as he removed his facial masks to reveal the rest of his face and the bandages surrounding them. Seems like this was gonna be one hell of a pain in the ass, especially since his blood lust was at its near limit, it had been so long since he last killed, and by killed I mean a small animal or the likes.

The pile of books was large, and would take at least a few hours to tidy up and organise, was it worth the money? Neo shock the thought, whats done is done, he took the mission so there is nothing to be done about it now. Neo picked up the first book, reading its cover and author. Lucas…L. Fantasy, Non-fiction, L. Neo sighed, walking over to the third corridor of books, looking for about 3 minutes until he found L, and then alphabetically placing it in its slot. “Ugh, this will take forever. ”Neo muttered to himself, rather aggressively, until he heard the sound of breathing on the other end of the corridor. He turned to look, only to be met by a shriek and a glimpse of hair running away as though not to be seen. Zela Maybe? She does seem to have a stalkish mentality about her, or perhaps only around Neo. Nether the less, Neo had to find some way to get this done faster. He turned and left the isle returning to the pile of books he left behind. Seems there is only one way to get this done without burning them all, well at least only one way in which Neo could consider bearing himself to complete. Neo sat done beside the piles, and began to get to work, sorting books into their own, ordered piles of Corridors and sections, then categories, then genres, then alphabetically.

It did take up majority of his time spent at the library, but it would make a lot of things easier when packing, and it was sure to save him a fair amount of time in the long run. Every now and then, Neo would find a book which caught his interest, and he’d have slight read of it to see what its all about, even setting some aside to borrow for himself so he can read later, some were very, relevant. Three in particular held him back about an hour in total as he became absorbed in their content as it was heavily relatable to himself and could potentially influence his future. A book on storms, and how they come about, what it is that makes storms, and the different kinds which spread the world. The second was a book on curses. It wasn’t directly relatable to Neo’s curse per say, however it was certainly interesting, and gave neo many new ideas on control and different methods of utilisation. A book on making a living with the shitty aspects of time. And finally, a simple book about Zirehs, their adaptation, history, and of course, many abilities and methods of attack/tactic which Neo hadn’t yet thought of. Of course, each one would serve a purpose to him, and he left those three on the from desk where the angry receptionist was, who was suprising nice now that she realised Neo was completing her job for him. Smiling as he set them aside.

Neo picked up the piled of books one by one, lifting from his legs and bending his knees correctly as to not damage his already pain resistant spine, as he carried them to the corridors, sorting them respectfully. Overall it took 3 hours, 18 minutes and 39 seconds before the last book was placed in the shelf. Neo turning to making his way to the front desk to retrieve his books. “Name please Hun?” The Librarian said, sitting at the computer waiting for the data to enter. “Neo T.Arashi.” She nodded, smiling before typing away with great speed, imputing the data and scanning the barcodes of each book. Because of his work, Neo was allowed to go one over his borrowing limit which is 2 for students. Neo thanked her, looking at the screen as he collected his weapons, peeking in on his profile…And they knew fucking everything, from his history to his curse. As expected of a shinobi school. Neo suited back up, Mask on, face and body covered, Weapons pouched strapped to his leg, Fuma on his back and scythes on his sides, walking out the door with the three books resting between his forearm and his hip as his hands rested in his pocket. It didn’t take long until Neo had arrived back at the main office, walking up to the desk waiting for the receptionist to finish what she was doing before speaking up. “Completed.”

Neo sighed. Walking back up to the Office later that day. His attire hadn't changed much since his last visit, however his attitude slightly did after going to his room for awhile to.... never mind. Anyway, he approved the desk, speaking up hoping she can hear. "Sorry to bother you again, Do you have another mission?" May as well right? Hopefully its not an option between weeding and organizing again, however the voice in the back of Neo's head thinks that this time, there will only be one option, and it may be the mission he didn't take last time.

Hmm yes we still have the weeding mission if you like? Other than that I'm afraid we just have D-ranks and what not. she said without looking up from her keyboard having remembered Neo's voice as it hadn't been too long that they last spoke. She would continue typing for a bit before looking up and staring at the boy while typing without looking at the keyboard. Would you like to take that? Just head south to the farm and you should meet the client. Remember to report back here when your done. she said before looking back down again and continuing her work.

It was just as he had thought, Neo nodded, thanking her silently as he turned to leave, not even bothering to remove his hands from his pocket as his aura swung the door open. “South.” Was all he said as he walked out the door, letting it shut on its own. The single word, nay, direction, was all he needed to say in order to let the woman receptionist know he will take the mission. It was be awkward if someone else showed up to to complete it because Neo didn’t make his intentions to take it clear. Of course, Neo didn’t really take to liking it, it was a crappy, shitting and disgusting mission, that would ruin his clothes unless he was clear in his methods, however then again, Neo needed the money, not to buy something, or to save up for a nice uniform or what not, but he needed it to make sure he doesn’t miss an opportunity. Neo is very smart financially, and when it comes to money, Neo knows the game which must be played in order to attain it, in order to gain, one must work and make. Once made, a new door will open, the more made, the more doors, some leading to larger rooms then others. Neo walked the corridors of the school easily, making his way to the entrance and eventually the wide open world, walking south as directed. It was going to be a bit of a wait till he reaches the farm, but nether the less, the rewards will suffice.

Neo reach the farm within the hour, knocking on the door of the old farmers hut, the door being swung open violently. “You’d best be getting to work boy, or you’ll never finish before sun down. The whole lawn is full of it, I need the weeds pulled, there is a lot, so get cracking, let me know when your done.” And with that, the old, fat, grey haired, dirty farmer slammed the door on his face. It seems he didn’t see the weapons because Neo was close to killing him. Aggressive confrontations and Neo don’t go well, as one coul obviously predict, with his desire to kill taking over his brain constantly and all that. Neo sighed, walking around the back to find the large sum of weeds needing to be pulled. He sighed twice in a row, unusual behaviour, but Zireh’s don’t sigh, so it was unnatural to begin with, stupid human heritage. Neo leaped the crappy bard wire fence with ease, walking towards the weed fields carelessly. Is this worth the 1000 Xel, we shall soon find out. Neo bent over, picking up the single weed, pulling it slowly. It was easy to pull and there was little in terms of roots. Neo laughed, the old man had no idea how fast this would be completed. Neo’s plans to complete the job were no doubt different to his, as Neo sat down, then laid on the ground, doing no work. He looked over to the hut, at the farmer through the broken glassed window, who had a curious face about him. Neo smiled at him, though, through his half face mask, it was concelled, and he knew that full well. That’s the reason for the clothing after all, to Hide Neo from everything else.

Before long, the storm clouds rolled in, and it began to drip small dropped upon the field. It was time. Forecast has taken its toll, no area can resist Neo’s weathered allure. The dripping picked up pace and Neo stood on his feet. He looked back over to the hut, the man shocked to see the rain over the dried farm. Must have been quite some time. Neo’s only visivle eye winked, before he turned to the field, drawing his dual chained scythes. By now about 10 of his clouds had spawned themselves and moved about the entire farm land. It was time. The rain pissed down, and the soil would now be weak to Neo’s attack, Neo drew his five Kunai’s Throwing Each into the nearest cloud, scattering them across the farm, next he threw his 5 fumas into the clouds. All 10 of them were sent shooting from one cloud and into the next, proving there was no random placement. Every time it passed through a cloud, they regained their speed. Then, suddenly, they all had aura added to them, tearing through the soil and digging up all the weeds. Practically plowing the ground. It was the best way for a farm with no crops and only weeds. Neo turned into a mole and dove under ground, adding himself to the arsenal of farm tools.

After about 20 minutes, the entire land had been plowed, weeded and watered, far more then what was asked of him. Neo arose in the middle of the farm, surrounded by his 10 clouds, dodging the weapons as they came past as they have all lost their aura, waiting for himself to return to human. Then, as easy of the kunai and shurikans came past, Neo made an impressive manuever utilising his Reaction tier to spin and catch it safely before putting it away as it needed to be. The clouds disappeared, and neo dusted himself off, well, more like he walked through a cloud with high density causing it to pick up all the dirt and dust before it vanished. Neo walked up to the window where the famer stood, and waved goodbye as he left, returning North. The road home was empty just as it was on his way down, and peaceful to say the least. Neo was satisfied with the outlook of the mission, it gave him a chance to use his aura properly for the first time, and for that he was grateful, of course, an actual combat situation would be a preference. But beggers can’t be chooses. Neo arrive at school then eventually at the office, venturing towards the desk and speaking the same single word. “Completed.”

The next morning rolled by, and after Training Neo dropped off his stuff at his dorm room before venturing back down to the office. His gear wasn't bought this time, except the basics just in case. His uniform had changed slightly as he worn no facial masks nor cloves. He now knew the boredom of a mission, however, the money was a sensation. Neo approached the front desk, as usual, looking at the receptionist who i'm sure has come to love his very frequent mission visits. "C-Rank again please."

The receptionist looked up from her papers at the young man. She then shuffled through some more papers and pulled something out. "Hmm. We are short on missions at the moment but this should do. With such an influx of students this year we are lagging behind in some research. If you would be so kind, go and research the chakra beasts that attacked the villages two hundred years ago. The library should have quite a bit of information on them but we need to see how much of it is there. Once you have compiled enough research please provide a ten page essay on them and return with it." She handed him the file which contained multiple book titles that might aid in the research.

Neo needn't say anymore, for he had already placed...slammed the extensive essay on the table and stated the magical word. His eyes were both annoyed and apologetic. This anger wasn't something that Neo can really help, his bloodlust is too high, and the need to kill is getting...painful. Perhaps next time.
