Uvogin raised his fist as he took a step forward, " You and me, let's go. " Leon looked Uvogin up and down as he towered a good three inches over Leon, " While you're the strongest one here your still way out of my league. " Roaring like a beast Uvogin charged Leon pulling his fist back to deliver a punch, sighing Leon stood still not moving as Uvogin's unleashed a right hook aimed for his cheek. Just as Uvogin's fist was a centimeter away from his face Leon disappeared, Uvogin balanced himself as he wasn't prepared to hit empty air.
" How rude normally a host wouldn't try to take the guest head off. " Roaring again Uvogin was about to charge Leon when a calm voice spoke up, " Uvogin that's enough. " Chrollo's words snapped the berserker out of his rage, " Chrollo what are you doing this guy took down an entire cartel. "
" Exactly, if he wanted us dead we would already be dead. " Leon smiled as he apprised Chrollo, " Very wise of you, I guess I can introduce myself then. Leon ( last name redacted ) at your service. " Leon gave a bow as he introduced himself, frowning when he saw no one was impressed by his theatrics. Clearing his throat Leon continued, " When someone tells you their name it is proper to tell them yours. "
Everyone in the room had an exasperated look on their face wondering if the person in front of them was real, " My name is Chrollo Lucifer and to my left is. " Chrollo then went on to name everyone in the room, each time Leon would stare at the person with a piercing gaze making them look away except for Uvogin who stared back at him with a fire burning in his eyes.
When it was all said and done Leon was standing before each of the members who had all stayed silent up to this point, " I must ask what are you doing in Meteor City, none of us have ever seen you and no one goes here for vacation. "
Leon had to smirk at that, " Well that's the exact reason I came here, I finished my first ten contracts without flaw so they decided to give me a reward. I have five months to study at this place and if my parents decide that I have wasted the family's time it won't be fun. " Leon noticed that Chrollo turned a little bit paler when he said contracts, " Y-you're an assassin. " Leon grinned, " Yeah just like my mom, dad, and brother, I think my grandfather's one also but I've never seen him leave the mountain. Is that a problem? " Chrollo's face regained its usual shade, " No not at all, but back to the subject what do you want with us. "
" You all seem to know what's going in this place, and I don't want to hang out with a bunch of people older than me so you all are probably the next best thing. " Leon said as turned around to walk out of the room, " Consider this my interview to join your little gang, if you find my resume acceptable come find me at the warehouse. " The only sound in the room was Leon's footsteps as he walked away his presence leaving a mark on all present.
After waiting a few minutes Chrollo sat down in his chair, " I think we should let him join if we don't the chances that we'll end up on opposite sides are too great for my liking. " Machi sighed, " I'll go see him in the morning would anyone else like to come. " Uvogin raised his hand, " If this turns out to be a trap I want to be there, if I can land a hit on him I can die happy. "
-Leon POV-
' I wonder if they'll let me join, they're an interesting bunch. I haven't felt this excited since my first contract, now that I think about it didn't mom say she was from Meteor City. I guess it's too late now. ' Sighing Leon let his mind wander as he walked through the streets the sun was still up in the sky so Leon had a lot of time on his hands. Turning down a random street Leon heard what sounded like a large crowd, looking around Leon saw a sewage drain who's metal grate had long since eroded.
Bending down Leon saw a swarm of people surrounding a ring, ever now and then Leon would get glimpses of a ring where two men duked it out. Standing up Leon jumped to the top of a building looking around until he found what he was searching for, in a few minutes Leon found the large sewage pipe that led to the underground fight ring. Marking the location for another time Leon left quickly not wanting anyone to know he was there, in a few minutes Leon turned the corner to see several men standing at the door.
They weren't wearing any armor that Leon could see but he could make out the knives the men concealed in their pockets, cursing his luck Leon walked past the three men. He was just about a foot away from them before one of them called to him, " Hey there boy turn around if you know what's good for you. " Ignoring them Leon kept on walking, " Are you deaf if you don't want to die, turn around now. "
The man pulled out his knife getting ready to kill a five-year-old boy, stopping Leon rubbed the back of his neck " Grandpa's rule make's everything so much harder. " As the man opened his mouth to ask what he meant his words were interrupted as blood fell from his lips, falling over the man's last view was Leon's hands drenched in blood. Sighing Leon looked over the three dead corpses, ' Grandfather said I couldn't kill innocents or people I'm not contracted to kill. I guess it's so I don't end up like Illumi but he was always uncaring. I have to ask him one day. '
