[PAST MISTAKES]
Clover left the unnamed village she had been in and took on a quest that would allow her to improve and explore the new abilities she had gained by making a contract with Bell.
After accepting the quest at the adventurers' guild, she decided to leave the village; however, she was being followed.
Clover knew that she was being followed and had even been told by Bell that there had been people on her trail; however, she didn't confront them for a long while.
(SCENE)
Clover reached a lake a few kilometers away from the village, where she had to complete her quest. Clover needed to hunt and kill a monster that lived in the lake, but she didn't have much on her that could be used as bait.
Bell Zymen: "Well, we're here now, so what do you propose we do about those fellows over there that have been following us?" *He says directly into Clover's mind.*
Clover's Inner Monologue: "We'll use them as bait, of course." *She smiles menicinly, while looking into the lake.*
Bell Zymen: "Well, that's quite the idea."
Clover grins as she thinks of a way to lure the people following her closer, so she can test out some new spells she'd learnt.
After a brief moment, Clover notices that the people following her started to give off some light murderous intent, so she thought that the best way to trick them into attacking her would be for her to pretend as if her guard is down, so they'd strike first.
Clover cuts down a tree using wind magic and makes a chair along with a table, and pretends to doze off for a little bit, so he could lure in those who had been following her.
After a short time, Clover sensed that one of the three men following her had begun to close the distance and tried to get closer to her.
(SCENE)
*The three men who are following Clover's perspective.*
Three assassins are in a nameless village and have just finished another kidnapping assignment given to them. The three men decided to go the the adventurers' guild, to get cheap lodging for the time being; however, a while after they had booked their rooms, they saw a familiar face show up in front of them.
The three men all kept an eye on the girl, who was familiar to them, but they didn't do much until they could confirm their identity.
After stalking the girl for a while, they realised that she had been someone they had kidnapped in the past, but wondered what they were doing in the place they had been.
In fear that she would want to get revenge on them for kidnapping her, they decided to follow the girl on any quest that she'd take and kill her as soon as she let her guard down.
(SO AND SO AMOUNT OF TIME LATER)
Clover took on a quest, and the three men decided to keep a decent distance away from her but followed her nonetheless.
Clover eventually got the her quest location, and the three men grouped and waited for her to let her guard down.
After a decently long while of waiting and watching Clover make furniture for whatever reason. The men grew impatient and decided the strike the second they saw any type of opening.
Clover finished making her chair and sat on it. At the time, the three men paid very close attention to what she had been doing, so they could find the perfect opportunity to strike and kill her.
Clover eventually closed her eyes, and one of the three men decided that it would be the perfect time to go kill her, so he went first, and the two others followed him shortly after.
(SCENE)
The three men went up to Clover when they thought she was defenseless and vulnerable. They threw a dagger and purposefully missed her at first to see if she was awake and faking being asleep or actually asleep.
When the three men saw that Clover didn't even flinch at the dagger, they decided to get closer to Clover, so they could properly kill her, but then, their fate had already been sealed.
When the three men had gotten close enough to Clover, she used one of the new skills she got from Bell *Mental Incantation* to use her wind magic without speaking, so she could bind the three men who were trying to kill her.
(SCENE)
Clover caught and bound the people trying to kill her and unmasked them. When she saw their faces, a large smile appeared on her face, and she looked as if she had received a present that she'd have never thought she'd get.
Clover recognised the people as those whom she had asked to help her during a quest and betrayed her. The three men who were seated in front of her had been people hired by Fae to kidnap Clover, so she could be used to make James suffer before being killed and thrown away.
Clover thought of torturing them for a moment, but didn't let the thought stay in her mind for more than a second, as if she did that, then she'd likely fail her quest due to not having bait.
The three men kept begging and pleading with Clover to let them go, and said things like they were forced to kidnap her, and that their families were threatened, so she should let them go, and they'll never mess with her again; however, Clover didn't listen to any of it.
Clover used her wind magic and lifted the three men into the air before going closer to the lake and dipping one of them halfway into the water. After a second, the man started to scream and cry and try to struggle out of the water, but the was nothing he could do, and as the seconds passed, he kept on bleeding out into the water, and more monsters gathered, but not the one which Clover needed. But Clover wasn't too worried, as she looked and smiled at the two people she still had left to use to lure it out.
