15 Days after the battle at the tournament…
Lucy wake up in a hospital, she does not believe she is still alive, something happended. She knows she still alive but have nos feelings, nothing inside her.
A Voice start explaining…
Strange: Well… Wasn’t difficult to find your soul, you know the doctors were so good to keep you alive while they transfered new blood to your body, they does not know, but I putted a bit of my blood inside you, that’s the reason of why you are still alive. Nothing out of the common, you should be feeling like “death”, you know, no feelings or other stuff. Bring a soul from the actual inferno is something that obviously have a cost. But anyway, you are alive.
Lucy: Why did you reply to my call?
Lucy: Who are you? I’ve never see you or did hear about you.
Strange: should be better if I keep my identity in secret, but next time you go to the tournament will be difficult because the whole guard will be waiting for me to appear .
Trying to understand the situation Lucy starts to feel fear about her future...
Strange : it's fine if you feel fear about all of this, you know, I'll make you the winner on this tournament, nonetheless, you'll never be the same.Â
Lucy does not understand anything, but she know something, she should not let that strange person make her the winner, she wants to win by her own.Â
Lucy: I don't need your help, I can win the tournament without your help, anyway, I'll win, I have something to prove.Â
Strange: what you are trying to prove is not something enough important to put your life in danger, I mean, I don't care about you, but now you have my blood and if someone with the enough knowledge knows about it then I'll need to take action and is boring.Â
Lucy: Your blood? Is it really important?Â
Strange: You'll know it, after all, that's the only reason on why you are alive...
Someone knocks the door and the strange disappear, all the room becomes dark, like if he has control of the total environment.Â
Doctor: Lucy Du Frank, thank god you are alive, you almost die in the last fight, we did our best to save you.Â
Lucy: Yes, next fight I'll be careful...Â
Doctor: Yeah, about that, someone wants to talk about with you.
An old man appears in front of lucy, his name is Zirpent
Zirpent: Hey Lucy, How are you? I guess fine, you are alive after all...
Lucy: I’m fine, thanks.
Zirpent: Well... lets go to the main point, doctor, Could you please leave us alone?
The doctor leaves the office.
Zirpent: Lucy, Do you what did happen on your last fight? Well, you should not, let me explain you, the Assassin that acknowled your call is “Mephisto”, the most wanted Assassin in the world.
Zirpent: Ummmmm, will be difficult to explain you everything but nevertheless you should know, Mephisto is a over powered assassin, we cannot categorize him on one of our classification, he appeared one time in the past in front of our headquaters and killed every single assassin that was there, but most important, he killed our elder consul and stoled ancient secrets and techniques that no one should know about it, I do not want to idolize Mephisto but he did everything in less than 5 minutes.
Lucy: I do not care, I wont call him again...
Zirpent: You are not understanding, you will do it, we were waiting for him to appear, we have never been able to discover where is he and now he appears with no reason in our tournament.
Lucy: I refuse, I do not want the help from anyone on the tournament.
The face of the old man becomes something serious...
Zirpent: Again, whether you want  or not is something that does not matter to us, if you do not want to do it by your own will then we will force you...
The old man left the room leaving Lucy thinking about the next fight...
