In a bedroom, on top of a bed, Nevada and Veronica were staring at each other and none of them knew what to do. Do they just looked at each other, until she asked"Are you hungry?"to which he answered by nodding.

"Okay. So how does Alice feed you?"she asks herself, when suddenly she feels something biting into her wrist. She looks at him and sees Nevada has started to directly suck the mana out of her, along with her blood. Nevada himself doesn't know why he just bit her. He just did it. Like out of instincts it something. But he isn't entirely sure, because he himself doesn't know much about his race.

"Wait what? Why's he doing this?"Veronica wonders, while looking at him, with his teeth in her wrist. After a while, he stops and removes his teeth from her wrist and her wrist starts to heal quickly. She looks at her wrist and then at Nevada, before saying"Come here." And dragging him to her.

She opens his mouth and looks at his teeth, for a few seconds and then saying"You're not a vampire... So why would you suck blood too?"

"Hmm....Lets find out something about you."she tells him and gets up from the bed, to get dressed. Once she is dressed, he puts Nevada on his feed onto the floor and says"Lets go."

She starts walking, but not Nevada, who can't walk a long distance without help. Seeing that he wasn't next to him, she looks back at him and mutters"Right. You can't walk without help currently."she tells him"Come here at least."

Hearing her, he walks up to him and hold her her hand, making Veronica feel a little awkward. She seriously is bad with kids, unlike her wife or Maria. Even the cold hearted Anna is better at dealing with her son, then Veronica is with hers.

The two leave the room, while holding hands and walks in the pretty dull corridor without any decoration on the well, beside the torch holders. Everything was made out of the same gray stone.

They continue walking, until they reach in front of a double door made out of dark coloured wood. She opens the door with her empty hand and the two enter the room. In the room, they see a dozens of shelves filled with books. Beside the books, there is also a table, where a sixty year old human man is sitting and reading a book.

But when he heard the door close, he looked up and saw the two there standing.

"Aah. Veronica. What brings you here?"he asks her and then looks at what she is holding and sees the kitsune.

"So this is the cursed kitsune."he mutters to himself, before looking back at Veronica, who says"Do you still have the Status Orb?"

He thinks to himself for a few minutes, before replying"Yes. Is it for him?"

"Yep. I want to see his status."Veronica replies to the librarian, who then gets up from his chair and walks to the back room.

While he is looking for the Status Orb, Nevada is looking around the place and is a little amazed by the amount of books, there is here. He keeps looking around, while Veronica is watching him and finds it amusing to watch him.

As for the librarian, he has come back from the back room and now was carrying a white transparent glass orb about the size of a football. He reaches it out to Veronica, who to receive it, lets go of Nevadas hand. While holding the orb, she looks at it and then tells him"Could you find me some books about kitsunes."

"Yeah sure."he replies and goes looking. She actually didn't need the book, because Alice already had one, but she didn't want him around, when checking Nevadas status. So she crouched down near him and faces him.

"Put your hand on it."she tells him, but because Nevada didn't understand one of the words, he starts to think, until he figured out the meaning from context. So he puts his little hand onto the orb and it shines brightly. From the orb, both of them could see his status.

Name: Nevada Xeo

Age: 1

Race: Kitsune

Titles: Cursed Kitsune

Job: None

Skills:

Ice Magic lvl 4.

Bow Mastery lvl 6.

Sword Mastery lvl 5.

Knife Mastery lvl 6.

Martial Arts lvl 7.

Mana Manipulation lvl 1.

"Okay. What the fuck is up with status."Veronica mutters after seeing his status. Everything beside the [Mana Manipulation] is pretty high for a one year old. So from his current status, she could already say that he will be a strong man one day.

As for the other skills, they were definitely high level then most of his age would have. The previous highest level was lvl 3. And that too was only on one skill. But his are much higher. She is glad, that she send the librarian away for a moment.

As how the skills work in world, is simpler to explain then it was a few thousand years ago. Basically everyone is born with at least one skill and there is no maximum number of skills one can born with or obtain in his/her life time. The skills are obtained by either being born with them or learning about it. For example: for [Sword Mastery], you need to train with a sword for a while, until you get a skill. From there, you need to practice and fight with a sword, to level it up. The higher your skill level, the more moves or spells(If it is a magic skill) you will know and it will be easier for you to learn me moves or spells too. Maximum level is ten.

So according to that basic knowledge, Nevada should be able to easily learn a couple of styles if he wanted, before he becomes a full time member of this group of assassins. It will be easier to teach him magic too, once he gets five years olds.

But for now, Veronica took the orb away and got up at the same time, as the librarian came back without a book.

"Sorry to say, but I didn't find anything about kitsunes, but I do know a few things about them myself."he says the last part with a proud voice.

"Here."Veronica tells him and hands the orb over to him, who takes it and holds it in his hands.

"Hmm. I have one question."Veronica tells him after thinking for a few seconds.

"Ask."he replies and so she asks"Kitsunes of mana. Right?" He nods and she continues"So why did he bite me before, when I tried to feed him."

"Has he done it before?"he asks her and she replies"It's usually Alice, who feeds him, but I haven't notice any bite marks from him on her body."

"Hmm. Maybe he is just copying you. Have you sucked Alice's blood in front of him?"

"Yeah."she replies.

"So he has probably seen that and now thinks that maybe this is a better way to get mana, which it is. You do it too with your Blood Partner."he tells her.

"So your saying, he bit me, because I have bit Alice and so he is copying me?"

"Thats the only believable reason. Kitsunes don't suck blood out of instincts. So he either copies you or it has something to do with him being a cursed kitsune. Maybe he has some vampiric nature in him. But I don't know. He is the first live cursed kitsune I have ever seen."he tells her and walks away to take the orb back.

As for her, she looks down at her adoptive son and lets out a sigh.

"What am I gonna tell Alice?"she asks herself, while looking at Nevada, who smiles to her and she could clearly see his fangs.

"Huh. Come now Nevada. I need to exercise, so come with me."she tells her and takes his hand, before leaving the library together.

At the training area, Nevada is sitting on one of the stair steps and looks at her mother exercising. Also quite a lot of people are looking at him, the cursed kitsune with different emotion on their faces. Some look disgusted, some don't seem to care a lot and a few who look at him with a loving face. Like they want to hug him or something like that.

Nevada himself is looking at the other people train with weapons and practicing their magic. She then sees Veronica practicing with a sword, even though she doesn't use it very often. But she still is pretty good with a sword, but her preferred assassination ways is the ones, where she just has to watch them die, without lifting a finger during that. Usually she sets up traps and waits nearby, to confirm the kill. Sometimes she uses poisons too and so she usually dresses up as one of the maids and servers the target a poisoned food. By the time the target dies, she is long gone.

While Nevada is looking at Veronica, he then looks at another boy, who seems to be about five or six years old. He looks at Veronica and then the boy. Veronica then the boy. And after doing that for a while, Veronica finally asks"What is it?"

"Wrong."he says and points at the boy. So Veronica looks at the boy, who is Annas son and after looking for a few seconds, she notices that his stance is wrong.

She rolls her eyes and tells Nevada"Wait here. I'll go correct him."

"Okay Mama."he replies in his cute childs voice.

Veronica walks over the boy, while muttering"Why is no one watching over him. A rookie can't practice on his own. Also why has no one bothered to correct him. Even a one year old could notice his wrong stance." She just shakes her head and gets to him.

"Kevin. Your stance is wrong."Veronica tells the boy, who stops and says"It can't be. Mommy taught me like this."

"I don't think that Anna would teach you wrongly, so don't deny it."Veronica tells him.

"How do you know? You don't even use a sword. Mommy told me."he says back in and arrogant tone.

Veronica won't even bother with him anymore. If he wants to learn wrongly, then let him do it. She has better things to do.

"Do what you want."Veronica replies to him and walks away.

"Arrogant little shit."she mutters, while walking away. She doesn't have to worry about him hearing that, because she is married to Alice, who is a second-in-command in this place and so nothing could be done to her If she insults the Young Master of this place. Master being Anna.

When she gets back to Nevada, she finds him being held by two succubuses.

"What a cute boy? Right sis?"one of the succubuses asks from the other.

"Yes he is Sis. I can't wait for him to grow up and enjoy-"she stops, as she sees Veronica in front of them.

"His yours?"she asks her in a weak voice and Veronica only nods.

Both of them go pale from fear and with a wry laugh, they give him to Veronica, who takes him into her hands.

""Sorry.""they say at the same time and leave immediately.

"Those fucking sex demons."she mutters and then looks at Nevada and asks"Did they do something to you?"

"No Mama."he replies.

"Good."she continues"I guess I can't leave you alone for a minute or you will be surrounded by those kinds of people.

"Sluts?"he asks her in a childish and when she hears him cursing, she mutters"Oh fuck."
