Chapter Twenty-Four : Unfinished Trial

Y/N exhales loudly, sitting down on the chair while Amber had gone somewhere else.

She was trying to relax a bit since her muscles felt frigid, "Hey, Ophelia."

Her head turns to the left and she sees Kalzul right there. "Is it true that Amber got to the second trial?"

Y/N could just feel the concern for Amber radiating off of him. It annoyed her just a bit that he came to ask her about it rather than contemplating it by himself.

"Yeah, I thought you would've heard. I mean, she did get this really cool ancient artifact and information." She looks at the man who looked frustrated. Even though she couldn't see his whole face, just by looking at his eyes she could tell.

"No.. Amber... She isn't cut out to be a thief.."

"But this is what she wanted, I thought you of all people would be supportive of her."

"Look, I'm not supposed to be helping you.. but the second trial is to steal from O'kasis." He seemed hesitant to tell her the trial that she had already heard from the boss.

"Right, I know, the boss told me after she saw mine and Amber's items."

He groans, "Amber couldn't even hurt a fly. She's tough but being a thief calls for being ready to stab someone if you get caught. Amber wouldn't be able to do that if needed."

Y/N hums, his obvious worry for her tells a lot about how well he knows Amber. "I'm guessing you've known Amber for a while then, right?"

"I've known her since before I even joined the guild. One day she followed the boss in and now she's come here every day. Trying to get into the guild."

Something must've irked him, "She never lets Amber pass the first trial. You even helped her. It's like the boss wants her to join and get hurt or something.."

Y/N only nodded since she did find it weird that Amber was still allowed to go on with her interference.

"I'm not supposed to be telling you this cause it sort of helps you, but most thieves don't come back from the second trial.. most of them get captured or have their lives taken."

"Why are you telling me this?"

He sighs, leaning closer, bringing his voice barely over a whisper, "I just want you to try and keep an eye on her. I understand if you can't but if you can try, please do.. Good luck.."

And with that he was gone. He didn't even give Y/N the chance to answer. But of course she would look out for Amber, she had been gaining some sort of a soft spot for the girl.

That's really one of the reasons she saved her.

When she hopped off the chair, the boss came around and gave her a book. Apparently it held information on the target she was supposed to steal from.

When the boss left after explaining, she looked on the first page, it said

Trial II Target : Ophelia

She flipped the page,

In O'kasis there lives a very prominent merchant who goes by the name of Ivern Everir. He is best known for selling crystals infused with very small amounts of magicks. Find him and steal his most precious crystal, the "Aragonite".

DESTROY THIS BOOK WHEN THIS TASK IS COMPLETE OR BEFORE YOU ARE EVER CAUGHT.

"Right cause I was definitely going to keep this poor excuse for a book." She mumbled to herself.
