”SIR! The armory has been ransacked! The intruder is being pursued” an officer reported as the governor was surprised of what transpired. He didn't feel too bad about the current chaos, in fact he felt that it was an opportunity.
”Inform the commander that he may use any methods to locate the thief.” he calmly said as he waved the officer to leave.
”Men, assemble” the governor spoke to nothingness as a group of black clothed men appeared kneeling in front of him.
”This is the perfect chance, we can no longer wait for Crawford. No matter what, you must make sure that the princess dies today! To those of you who die, I will compensate your families for them to live luxuriously for the rest of their lives. And to those of you who live, should you succeed, I guarentee you riches await you!” he exclaimed as blood began to rush within the stoic guards
”GO!” he ordered as the men disappeared as if they were never there

The sun was setting over the horizon as the shadows became longer. Mirrah and her retainers were alerted by the large explosion that everyone heard.
”What happened?” The princess asked as the armored man returned
”It seems someone has broken into the armory” Lolz said as he looked at the many frantic guards running around like headless chickens searching for the thief
The princess was surprised someone would be dumb enough to try and break into the armory of a city barracks ”Did you find out who it was?” Rei asked interested in the thief
The man shook his head ”All I know is that it is a boy with white spiked hair. Supposedly he snuck into barracks and tied up a Sergeant and a guard. Then he redirected the soldiers at the armory and used that time to take all the weapons.”
”But why would one boy need all those weapons?” Mirrah asked in wonder. It's not like they would sell for much considering they were mass produced weapons for the average guard.
”I am unsure, however we shouldn't concern ourselves with it” the man said as it wasn't really their problem since they were just visitors.
The other two nodded as they agreed. Beneath the black armored man, his shadow became larger until it sprang to life engulfing him. The two girls watched as Lolz disappeared from the area with wide eyes. Rei immediately deflected a barrage of daggers with her twin crossed blades.
”Apologies but we don't have much time. Please don't make this harder than it needs to be for us.” Came a voice from the shadows as a group of black-robed men surrounded the two.

Shiro could hear his heartbeat as he continued to still himself. While most would think that he would run the moment the explosion rang out, the shinigami simply hid himself in the same room. Two sides of the walls were destroyed as only a few people were around now inspecting the area. Shiro's disguise was destroyed in the explosion, it even took out a chunk of his body but he took his time to regenerate as he hid inside a crate.
What surprised him the most was that the explosion actually didn't kill anyone. He knew that if it did, he would have gotten experience from it. The plan now would be to wait until night fell, then he would sneak his way out of the area.
”Man, to think that it was just a single kid that did all this” A voice was heard near the shinigami. Probably just a guard stationed at the area, strange that they were stationed at a place that had nothing to guard since Shiro took everything of value.
”I feel you, what level do you think that kid was at to be able to do all this?”
”Probobly 50 maybe 60.” he guessed
”What would a level 60 need with all the junk weapons?”
”Not sure, but the chances of him escaping the city are pretty much zero. The commander declared a lock-down on all entrances” this information made Shiro's face pale
”Guess the commander's pissed” one of them chuckled
”Well of-course he wouldn't be too happy if people found out a kid was able to infiltrate his barracks and steal an entire armory. It's basically a slap to his face” he stated.
He was correct, a child being able to do all that was basically showing that the commander was incompetent.
”Well, glad we don't have to run around looking for that ki-” A thud was heard as the other guard looked over to see his friend on the ground unconscious
”Wha- AGGH” Shiro cringed as this guard didn't immediately pass out as he had to smack him more than once.
”Hey what's going on here!?” a flash of light came over the area as the shinigami already left the scene
”Shit! Alert the commander about this!”
At least Silent Steps would finally come in handy tonight
