The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

hat was true.
He knew better than anyone how scary the world was.
The person who didn’t know anything wasn’t himself, but the woman that was acting as she pleased.

“I’m leaving if you’re done.”

He could feel the fox masked woman’s threatening gaze, but he ignored her and went to the auction house.

[Date's necklace was auctioned at 70 gold!]

[Congratulations!]

 

The auction had begun.

It wasn’t the only auction house, as there was another one downstairs.
It was a place for the truly rich people, since the items over there mostly started at twenty to fifty gold, ending up several times more expensive than the one he was in.

Since the black butterfly Raon was trying to purchase wasn’t a really expensive item, it was auctioned on the first floor, where he was at.

As expected of the first floor’s auction, none of the items had a unique rating and most of them had either a magic or rare rating.

Raon looked for interesting items with blazing eyes, but he couldn’t find anything worth purchasing.

‘Well, I guess that’s fine.’

He just came to buy the black butterfly.
Obtaining the ring was already a great harvest, so it would’ve been greedy of him to hope for more.

[The next up is the aloof black colored butterfly that eats magic stones, the black butterfly!]

A bird cage was brought up to the platform at the host’s excited voice.
A butterfly that shone a faint black was stuck to the magic stone inside the birdcage.

Even though it could leave through the cage, the butterfly wasn’t running away as it stayed near the magic stone.

[It’s a popular ornamental item because of its beautiful faint light.
Even though it doesn’t live for a long time and eats a lot of magic stones, nothing beats its beauty.]

The downsides could barely be heard, unlike when he was talking about the upsides.

[Let’s start the auction.
Since the black butterfly was sold at twelve gold last time, we will start at one gold.]

[Yes.
Number 15, two gold.]

[Number 21, three gold.]

People raised their hands here and there as the auction progressed.
When the price got fairly high, Raon raised his finger.

[Number 77, thirteen gold.
Thirteen gold! Is anyone calling for more?]

The host looked around, but no one was raising their hands.

‘Thirteen is enough.’

Thirteen was actually a lot already, since the butterfly only had ornamental purposes for them.

[If not, then it will be auctioned at thirteen gold.]

It was as Raon was getting ready to stand up and the host was about to strike his hammer that someone raised their hand in the center.

[Fifteen! Number 80 raised it to fifteen gold!]

“Hmm?”

He looked to find out who was burning fifteen gold on an ornamental butterfly that only had a lifespan of a few days.

‘That woman…’

It was the fox masked woman that he’d met in the casino the day before and at the shop that day.

‘Is she trying to disturb me?’

She looked at him and grinned.
It was different from the ring.
She just wanted to disturb him despite not needing the butterfly.

“She is blatantly provoking us right now.”

Dorian also noticed as he murmured that it was going to be troublesome.

“I’ll accept it.”

Raon raised his hand once again.

[Ohh! Number 77, seventeen gold! Seventeen gold has been call… Twenty?]

As soon as he increased the price to seventeen gold, the woman raised it to twenty.

[Twenty-two, Twenty-four, Twenty-six, Thirty! Thirty gold has been called! It’s a new record for the black butterfly at our auction house!]

Tsk.

Raon clicked his tongue.
The old record was twenty gold, yet it was now thirty gold.
It was all because of that woman.

“Haa…”

He raised his finger again.

[Thirty-three! Number 77 called thirty-three gold.
Oh! Number 80 called thirty-seven! It’s increasing again!]

However, as soon as he finished saying that the woman raised her hand once again.

[Woaah! Forty! Number 77 called forty gold! Am I dreaming right now?]

Raon increased the price without a second thought.
He didn’t currently possess that much money, but he could prepare it by selling a few objects he’d brought.

[Forty! Is anyone calling more? Huh? Just like that? Number 80 called fifty gold! Woooow!]

[Fifty gold! Fifty gold! Fifty gold! Is anyone calling more? I guess there wouldn’t be! There’s no way anyone would.
The black butterfly broke its record and was auctioned at fifty gold!]

The host struck his hammer three times and announced that the black butterfly was auctioned loud and clear.

“Wow…”

“Wh-what’s happening?”

“Why would anyone burn fifty gold on an ornamental butterfly?”

“The black butterfly’s owner hit a jackpot.”

People participating in the auction were shocked, looking at the black butterfly coming down from the scene.

[The next up is a silver magic stone with water energy, rated as rare.
Oh, twenty gold already! No, thirty!]

Raon called twenty gold as soon as the host introduced the next item, and the fox masked woman raised her hand immediately after.

[Number 80 won it with forty-one gold!]

The woman grinned at him after winning even the water attribute magic stone.
Her face was telling him that whatever he did was pointless.

He tried bidding on a few other items in the auction, but the woman interfered and won all of them.
She was blatantly disturbing them.

‘She has way more money than me.’

Even in the casino, she was using her money to win the games rather than her abilities.
There was no way he could win with the amount of money he currently had.

I was going to stand back since I was in a good mood, but it can’t be helped anymore.
Take her mask off and pluck out her eyes.
Kill her! She is picking a fight with the King of Essence!

Upon seeing the fox masked woman, who was showing him a smile of victory, Wrath became the embodiment of his name and popped out.
He grew in size to cover the entire auction house.

‘I know, right? I have to teach her a lesson.’

That’s right! Pluck out those eyes that dared to pick a fight with the King of Essence, and freeze her mouth to… huh? Wh-what did you just say?

Wrath’s jaw dropped at the unexpected answer.

‘We aren’t at Zieghart right now.
No one can stop me.’

Raon smiled and waved his finger.

“Dorian.”

“Y-young master, please calm down.
We can get a butterfly like that any time we want…”

Judging from Dorian’s trembling hand, it seemed he thought Raon was angry.
However, Raon was actually completely calm.

“Don’t worry about it.
Go out and buy a night traveling outfit.”

“Night traveling outfit?”

“Yes, one that is completely black from top to bottom, including the shoes and mask.”

“We don’t need to buy one.
I already have it.”

Dorian took out the night traveling set from his belly pocket and showed him.
Raon was now curious about what didn’t exist inside that belly pocket.

“But why do you need this?”

“Why else would I need it? I’m going to steal that butterfly from her.”

“Eek? B-but you told me not to worry!”

“Yes, you don’t need to worry.”

“You are planning to cause a major incident! We are in the black market right now!”

Dorian’s eyes started spinning.

“It’s alright.”

Crimson flames flared in Raon’s eyes.

“As long as we aren’t caught.”
