"Tsk, you're a bit annoying with your questions." She replied, but Klaus didn't look away from her eyes or say anything else, forcing Sua to speak.
"Assassination, hostage rescue, infiltration, all kinds of missions that an organization working in the shadows can do. We are powerful, but we also have a lot of work to do. We need skilled manpower, and I consider you to be one." She replied.
Klaus nodded. "I'm not against joining, but I'm curious: What is the organization's mission? If I'm going to join, I should at least understand why it exists."
"That's confidential." She replied.
"The mbers don't need to know; you just need to understand that if you join us, we will help you with your problems and vendettas. We won't force you to do anything you don't want to do either, so besides completing missions for the organization, you shouldn't do anything else. You can even belong to another organization simultaneously; nobody will tell you anything. We are flexible, Young Klaus, and seek to walk on the right side of history." She culminated, finally leaning back in her chair.
"I will answer nothing more. The information given is sufficient. Would you like to join?"
Klaus once again looked thoughtful. Although he was staring at Sua, his attention was not on her.
He was considering various things in his mind.
"Sigh, do I have options? I think the only option you left with is to join."
"Well, if you choose to believe , you have the option of not join." She replied casually.
Klaus simply shook his head, though.
'Joining such a large organization isn't bad either. The payoff is bigger, and as I continue to grow, the ti will co when I won't need to answer their calls or whatever it is they want to make do. But, if I'm in the sights of such powerful people right out of the gate, it ans I need to be careful and more effective in my training.' He thought.
Imdiately, his mind made up its mind about what he would do from now on during the nights. Even at this mont, that night was beginning to fall over his head; he felt his muscles growing smoothly.
Having decided what to do during the night, he was calr and thought more clearly. If he did as he thought, then it would be good for him to join Nithim Twice.
"All right, Miss Sua. Since you want to join you so fervently, then I will. I just have to tell you not to think about sleeping with . I know I'm handso and extrely attractive, but I won't agree to sleep with anyone other than that blue-eyed woman. So give it up." He replied, scoffing at the end.
Although Sua Vinanne showed a strange happiness when he agreed, she rolled her eyes at his little joke.
"Tsk, don't think too much of yourself just because you have a pretty face." She growled.
"This is the contract; read it as there are the conditions and everything else. But before you do, this is the contract that Red Tower will offer you. It is a contract with paynt issued by Nithim Twice, so Red Tower will do just as it says there."
She handed him two contracts.
"Normally, contracts last for several years and are used to bind Sorcerers. It suits the Organization and Sorcerer, but I requested that it last for 1 year in your case. You must thank , Young Klaus. That ans that in 1 year, you can either stop working with us or renew for a much higher paynt. You don't get these contracts every day."
Klaus grabbed it to read and scoffed. "Tsk, you almost had fooled. The one-year contract is the Red Tower one; I appreciate that one. But Nithim Twice doesn't have ti. I guess there are things that will tie to you guys, but there's nothing I can do. Is all the paynt it says here real?" he asked, looking up.
She felt nothing when he realized it. She had hoped she could trick him into signing it without reading it simply because she wanted to play with him, but since she realized it, there was nothing to do or say.
"Well, the paynt it says there is annual, by being a mber and completing the missions. But each mission has separate paynts, so it will depend on you how much you earn at the end of the year. Everything else is as specified there."
Klaus nodded and plunged into his reading.
'Two separate contracts, with high pay and paynts for missions. They even provide with personalized training locations, places to live, and apprenticeship or paynt for my apprenticeship. And more...' He couldn't find anything wrong or enslaving in the contract as he read.
In fact, while it did specify that missions were to be done, that added a bonus to the contract because those missions would strengthen him and help him learn more about this world. The only bad taste in his mouth was the true mission of Nithim Twice.
But that wasn't so bad either. As he had already decided on what to do, his mind could think clearly, and after reading that he was not getting into anything extrely strange, he signed the contract.
It also seed like fun. He wanted to understand more of this world, and these gave him that possibility.
Sua smiled as she watched him sign. "Good, it looks like you're smart. You can go back now and use the apartnt as much as you want; I'll open so accounts in the corresponding banks and get everything else to you, so you don't have to do much. But, before you go, rember Nithim's way of issuing missions." She got up and walked towards him.
"You might be in another city, and suddenly, one of our people asks you to go to a nearby bar or cafe to do it. We don't have an official base; we have territories where we rule. This city is our territory, but there are enemy factions at work here, so, at any mont, your mission will be issued."
Klaus nodded. "Simply put, I don't choose the mission; 'it' chooses , right?"
"That's right." Sua smiled, satisfied that he had understood correctly. "For now, I must say that you have completed Nithim's first mission. Even though you were not a mber when you did it, I will make it count as if you were, so congratulations on your first mission."
"Tsk, I always knew that mission wasn't normal." Klaus shook his head and turned away. "Thank you for the mission and the good payoff, Miss Sua. Talking with you has been an honor, but I must be going."
"You go carefully; I'll take care of the rest."
"Well, I will leave everything to you, Miss Sua. I look forward to my next assignnt. And I also expect the debt paynt to be made as specified there." He said, giving her a sidelong glance before leaving.
Sua bowed at the desk and looked at the remaining portion of the contracts. 'Such a capable Reared in the Mist, eh? This will be a long shot, but we need mbers.' She turned and walked to the window, then let out a long sigh.
'Even though we work from the shadows, sotis the nights are so complicated to control...'
