[break]Combat Style: He uses his restraining magic to take control of those he wants to show fear to. Also, his physical reinforcement is where he mainly uses for strength and speed buffs. This is for when he needs to handle business himself.
[break]Combat Style: Both of them are slightly less intelligent than their Boss. Their teamwork is horrible until someone mocks how dumb they are. The attack guard mainly uses chained weapon creations while the other uses his chains for defenses.
[attr="class","luthorscroll"] “Hm…” [break][break] Honestly, this had been one of the weirder requests in his tenure as a Knight. [break][break] Delivering clandestine letters? Between two… star-crossed lovers. It sounded like something out of a fairy tale. Something his daughter probably would have been a lot more inclined to take pity in than he would. Granted, he’d once been young and in love too. [break][break] The listing hadn’t been solely for Magic Knights either, but something had told him that this was simply a job that he wouldn’t refuse this time around. Because really, young love was young love. The days of his youth were long gone, along with the woman he’d once given his heart to as well. [break][break] The moonlight shone down on the shadow of the alleyway, where they were to meet the page for the letter first from the young gentleman to be given to the young woman. Luther raised his hand to his face, resting his fingers thoughtfully on his chin. The same silvery light of the moon shone down on the wedding band that remained on his ring finger. Even after the years of her being gone, he’d never been able to take it off for too long. [break][break] “You’d do the same… wouldn’t you Alys?” He muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he knew it was just mutterings of an old man… as if the dead could give him advice. [break][break] At least, he’d have a partner in this endeavor.

TL;DR Luther is waiting for Aoi and the first Letter to arrive!
Post by Aoi Hoshizuki on Aug 9, 2020 1:29:55 GMT -5
Aoi was feeling bored lately. The daily monotonous hunting life was already reaching the limits of his enjoyment, and there were nothing interesting happening in Hapshass lately, so he was really bored to his wits. Sometimes he wished to have passed the Magic Knight Exams so that there would always be an interesting sight. But the next one would come this fall, and Aoi was tired of waiting to show his prowess again. Sometimes, when he would arrive at the city, he would thoroughly scout the area for some flyer that was stuck to some establishment for him to find a job, but all he had seen were other kinds of monotonous work that if Aoi found himself in one of those jobs, he knew that he would be bored to hell. At least hunting beasts had the surprise appeal embedded into each session and there were always new things, as many as the animals that he had hunted from childhood until today. But Aoi wanted some kind of a new thrill, and obviously hunting would not be one of those. He wanted something like that, but with other people participating in for fun. Something like an adventure. But since the Magic Knight Exams were a long way ahead, he had to search for other events that would tickle his fancy.
After some more days of searching and disappointing himself for lack of results that sometimes he thought he should pick one of those other monotonous job offers, he finally found one. There seemed to be a rumor of an affair between two of the noble-born people in the Town of Silva, and when he had shown interest in the affair, one of those who were taking about the rumors presented him with the job of transporting love letters from one lover to another, and a free will to incapacitate those who would try to interrupt the job. Aoi, seeing something interesting that was about to happen to this mission, readily accepted it. As he did accept the job, his thoughts were filled with an image of some super spy, delivering letters from one person to the other, while braving through whatever situation in a flamboyant but quiet manner, complete with some kind of music that might have not been heard in the whole known world at least. His mind was filled with such thoughts leading to that day such that sometimes he was involved into some minor accidents while he was still daydreaming.
But at the night of the mission, Aoi was composed and serious, albeit doing some mischief in one situation or another. He knew that whatever he was thinking of might not work in this kind of situation, and there might be other problems along the way. And so, he used every precautionary measure for this mission that he would do, even casting his invisibility spell (Assassination Stance) beforehand. That meant that he could not communicate like the usual manner that he used to, but for this mission it would be needed. And so, after Aoi had received from a page the letter from the gentleman to his lady, he then set off.
The page also mentioned that there would be another person that would accompany him in this mission, and so he set off towards the meeting place first to meet with the person. He was said to be a Magic Knight from the Black Bulls squad, so if ever Aoi could identify him immediately. Conversing with another person while being invisible would be quite hard, and so he prepared for himself a wad of parchment of a small size and a charcoal pencil with which he would scribble his thoughts. When he entered the meeting place, he saw the Magic Knight in question, and then snapping a twig, he would then throw it at that direction, bearing a note, and the letter would be brought towards his feet. The note read, "You may not see me, but I am the other person assigned to deliver the letter! My name is Aoi Hoshizuki, the strongest in Hapshass and future Magic Knight! Nice to meet you! Now, at your pace, let us go to the lady and deliver the letter near the ground you are standing on!" Accompanying this note was a small cute caricature (read: chibi) of Aoi doing a thumbs-up sign.

[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Well, this certainly stretched the terms of ‘partners.’ He wasn’t sure of what to expect, but he hadn’t expected to not see anything or anyone at all. Was the kid… shy? Maybe that was it. He’d had a few troubles with his daughter on breaking out of her shell…
[break][break] He looked at the note that had appeared on the ground, still scratching his head in puzzlement on how he was supposed to react to it. “W-well Aoi I would say it’s nice to meet you, but I can’t see you!” He ended up chuckling at his own words, it wasn’t particularly a funny joke but he still laughed anyway. It was an odd name, sounded foreign, kind of like the Captain of the Bulls, a Mister Watanabe. He seemed to meet more of those mages as the days went by. Maybe he should’ve asked his daughter if she knew anything about Hino, as smart as she was. [break][break]
“Let’s work together great!” He said aloud, making a thumbs-up sign in the general direction where the note came from, even if he had no idea really where the kid was. It was probably somewhat rude of him to assume that his partner was a kid, but he had something of a hunch that it very well was. [break][break]
Still a bit unsure of where to walk (slightly concerned he would he bumped into the kid on accident), he hesitantly took a step forward and then another, waiting to see if he would casually bump into an invisible body. If not, he would then simply continue on his way to the first meeting place.
[break][break] A page would have been waiting at a rather shadowed corner, where the lights of the streetlamps wouldn’t reach him. The poor guy looked nervous as all hell, and Luther did his best to try and calm him down. [break][break]
“Hey! We’re the one hired for the delivery?”
[break][break] Twitching only slightly, the man held out a letter with a red wax seal. “Master Rosenthall sends his regards, be sure to get this to his Lady by tonight.” The servant said quickly. He looked once, then again, seeing that Luther was all by himself. “There were supposed to be two of you.” He muttered, then he shook his head as if it wasn’t any of his business anyway.
[break][break] “Uh…” Luther wasn’t sure how to respond to that line of reasoning, which made a rather solid amount of sense.
[break][break] “Nevermind. Just deliver it. There will be guards, so please be careful.” The servant said nothing more and then promptly turned away.
[break][break]
A crooked, rather awkward smile escaped onto Luther’s face. What a rather rude guy… But there wasn’t much they could do about it, they were simply hired to do a job after all. “Welp! Let’s get going to the Lady’s mansion then!” He said aloud, hoping that his words would be thrown in the general direction of his still invisible partner…

TL;DR Letter retrieved now off to the Lady's house!
Post by Aoi Hoshizuki on Aug 15, 2020 8:01:00 GMT -5
As Luther seemed to talk in no particular direction, Aoi was listening, and while they set out to the lady's mansion, he was writing something on another piece of parchment. When he was finished, he tossed the rolled-up parchment towards Luther, and then, when he was sure that Luther received the roll, a gust of wind would pass through Luther's front as Aoi took a fast but stealthy sprint towards the mansion. The parchment would read, "Let us go to the side entrance of the mansion to our left. Around this time, there will be a change of guards for that area, and if we incapacitate both of the guard corps, we can buy ourselves 6 hours to deliver the letter to the lady, have the lady compose the letter to her gentleman, and get away from there with the letter with none the wiser. I will try distracting them while you ascertain the perfect time to attack. Don't worry, I'm really good in making distractions!" together with... that same chibi sketch of Aoi doing the thumbs-up sign. How he prepared the parchments to have the same drawings could bother a number of people for days to come, but Aoi had drawn it all in his spare time while he was being bored to hell.
As Aoi arrived first at the left entrance, he then waited patiently near the gates since nobody would see him there anyways. At last, the three guards who were about to relieve the three currently stationed there had arrived in the area, and Aoi then started to move, stealthily, without the guards knowing that he was there in their midst. There were two guards at the outside, one guard behind the gates, and three more who were about to relieve. The two groups of guards, seeing each other, were relieved that there was a moment of strength at that moment. But at that seeming moment of strength was also a moment of weakness, as could be proven once that guard behind the gates started to open the gate to receive the new corps that would be assigned to guard it.
The guard had opened the gates fairly wide, and that's what's Aoi was waiting for. As he was certain that Luther might be around at this time, he then charged towards one guard, the sheathed Umiiruka Hiromitsu on his hand. With a solar plexus blow with the hilt of the sword, the guard clutching his stomach as he crumpled down unconscious. The guards were surprised at that juncture, as they could see no person around the area, and Aoi took the opportunity of the surprise attack by attacking yet again. The guards could only see the gate being opened wider as yet another guard got dropped, without seeing that Aoi had rammed that guard's stomach with the sheathed sword. The guard inside the gates then shouted, "I'll call for reinforcements!" and was about to run, but he then stumbled in the process and was knocked out cold... or so the other guards thought as Aoi tripped the guard and then smacked him at his nape with the sheathed sword. Hopefully what he did would be a good enough distraction.

[attr="class","luthorscroll"] Well, as it turned out, the kid had a plan! Luther scanned over the message given to him on the parchment. He still wasn’t quite sure if he was used to this very odd way of communication, but it wasn’t like he had much of a choice in the matter either. [break][break] Kids these days, huh… [break][break] He went about trying to be careful with the sneaking around a bit. It was slightly harder, considering he couldn’t just max himself invisible with his magic. Though, he had done plenty of his own kind of illicit type dealings when he had been much younger, much younger. [break][break] They’d arrived at an opportune moment, just as the kid had planned, the change of the guards. Luther wasn’t sure if he was to wait for a signal of some kind as he hid around the corner. He looked to his side by habit, as if there was some hint he was to be understanding. He’d spoken of a distraction, well not really spoken, but at least written out? It was still somewhat confusing in Luther’s mind. [break][break] “Uh… h-hey so how are we going to-?” But his words trailed off when he heard the unmistakable sound of a body hitting the ground. Geez, this kid could do the very same to him, at least they were on the same side! Right? As the unmistakable sound of combat rumbled, Luther’s grimoire floated out and he jumped into action as well. [break][break] “Chrysaor Sadis!” He called out, flipping through pages of his grimoires. Perhaps he did yell a bit loudly, which did catch the attention of the remaining guards. Immediate, two of his swords went flying into the remaining pair standing by the gate, noticeably, however, the blades were being sent backward with the hilt first. Acing his shot, both guards got hit squarely in their chests, knocking the wind of them and felling them both to the ground. For the third and final guard, Luther grabbed one of his swords by himself and decided to charge forward. Swinging wide a wide arc, Luther whacked the poor guy on the head with the flat part of the blade. [break][break]
A resounding knock made Luther himself cringe, but soon enough the poor guy crumpled to the ground in a heap. “Ouch.” He mumbled, and soon enough dissipated his sword into the air and set his grimoire back down at his side. [break][break] Dusting his hands off, Luther tipped his hat in no particular direction. “Nice job!” He hoped he’d at least gotten the compliment off to his invisible partner. [break][break] Well, now they had a letter to deliver.

As Aoi had incapacitated the guard who was about to run, he then started to worry about what would happen next. He could feel, by the response of the guards to his attacks even when they were surprised, the guards had been so well trained that their natural movements could be said to be twice the speed of his own, and if they could actually see him, or if they had decided to run instead, he would be in a more serious problem. Fortunately for him, Luther arrived and finished off the three others before they could even think to run. He heaved a mental sigh of relief, and then decided on writing on what should their next plan be. Once it was finished, he then moved near Luther, threw the rolled-up parchment towards him, and then started rearranging the guards' bodies as if they were just fallen asleep guarding the area. The parchment, as always signed with the Aoi chibi doing the thumbs-up, read, "You deliver the letter to the lady while I guard the situation around here. As I have already said, we only have six hours before the next guard shift comes to relieve those we had knocked out. Once you pass again this gate, I would assume that we already have the letter to be delivered towards the gentleman, and we get out of here quickly. Don't worry about me, I'm really good at feeling out every situation!" He really hoped that there would be none of those untoward situations happening while he was there, but if anything came up, he would try his best to rectify it. He had to, since every minute that they would spend here would be really crucial. If six hours passed and the letter was still not finished, he would have to incapacitate the next set of guards, and it would be really hard for him to make sure nine guards stay incapacitated or restrained for more than 6 hours, let alone maintain the normalcy of the situation around the area.
