The Velvet Key

[ When this video starts, what you can see is the traffic cone of murder the Chinese Assassin wielding what it seems to be a traditional Chinese spear. In fact, in his surroundings, you can observe how the floor has marks of footprints of a human around him.

It looks like he just grabbed the spear, because he seems to starting to train with him once more. In fact, that aura around him and the way he moves his spear... His movements can be barely seen for the naked eye. The flies that were flying on the wall, he strikes them all without even harming the wall in the process.

He growls lowly, contemplating the scene before him. ]

Such fond memories I have of this. A pity that I can only bring shame to my Master's face. [ He trials off at that before glancing at the screen again. ]

It seems we have a murderer among us. This pointless killing is nothing but someone who lusts the dark paths enough to succumb to the blood lust of the moment. I can relate to such feeling, but even these tainted hands that I possess find it disgusting.

Prospero, it has been a while since I appeared here. Ah, being trapped in memories does not good, but it did help me to realize I do miss something. Let it be known that I will help to put an end to this senseless killing. Even if I am from the Assassin class, I do not find this pleasant at all.

Speaking of classes, I am looking for apprentices that are willingly to train under my command. During the time I lived I had many of them and perhaps their company will do me well. The martial art I teach is not an easy one and do not expect me to go easy on children either.

Good evening.

[ He starts walking towards the city once more then. ]

[ Plop. The sound of the gear hitting the floor and then a video starting to record. The back of the Chinese Assassin can be seen now as he starts walking, not paying too much attention to it, he seems off thinking in something else.

Suddenly, the device is picked up a small hand that rushes to meet up with him. Of course, Mr. Paranoia quickly reacts to turn and not give him his back to a possible enemy, which causes the small kid to release his balloon. Oh, well. ]

You will do well speaking loudly the next time.

M-My balloon...

[ Today seems to be a busy day.... Li Shuwen sighs a bit, when some other kids approach the other to mock him. After some small exchanges, the first kid runs crying a bit and meeting with the Assassin once more. ]

... You have to be strong, you have potential, kid.

[ Li Shuwen, giving advice to small kids in Prospero. After kindly moving to confront them thanks to the advice of Mister Traffic Cone of Murder, the kid stands and puts his fiercer face and tells them to leave him alone.

At first it didn't work, as the other kids starting to laugh.

But suddenly, all of them fell silent and ran away from their lives as soon as they felt a murderous pressure against them, courtesy of Mister Assassin of course. The little kid smiles brightly, as he didn't notice the man behind him was the cause of the act. ]

Did you see? Did you see? They won't bother me anymore!! Thank you, Mister!

[ Assassin pats his head, and doesn't kill him in the process, with a small smile. In his other hand there's a familiar balloon that he gives to the kid. Said kid's eyes sparkle so much at the gift that he even hugs the martial artist... Which kinda surprises him. ]

You're strong inside. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, kid.

You're really cool, Mister!! What's your name? [ There's a small pause and then the kid shows the device to him. ] Ah, and you dropped this!!

Ah, you have my gratitude. As for my name---
