Chisana awoke to another day of existing, which as he thought about it was weirdly depressing thought to have as he just woke up. That was not like him usually so where did it come from? Chisana shook his head and pushed away that train of thought cause he needed to get up and ready for the day so he could go start a mission he was supposed to be taking on with another Magic Knight who was from one of the other Squads. Usually Chisana tended to work with just his squad when it came to missions or tasks so this would be a nice learning experience, a way of seeing if the stereotypes of the other squads were true or just the random gossips of bored members. Chisana hoped it would be the latter cause some of the other squads just seemed horrid in comparison to the Black Bulls then.
Chisana moved about his room gathering his things as he typically did, putting on his black pants, white dress shirt, black vest and Black Bulls mantle. Making sure to grab his Grimoire holster and put his gloves in his pant pants pocket. He double checked himself and once he made sure he had everything needed for the task at hand he left his room and begun his journey to the meet up place in Raque. The task that had been posted up on the mission board in the Squad base was something about a serial killer being on the loose targeting the female tourists in the area and then disappearing quickly. It was hurting business and the public image of the Magic Knights that people were assume were just letting happen which was ridiculous, why on earth would anyone want people to just be killed for no reason.
Finally, he arrived at the appointed meeting place and didn’t see anyone arrive just yet and Chisana didn’t feel like going inside just yet without the other Magic Knight that was supposed to be a part of the mission. Granted if they didn’t show up shortly then Chisana would just continue the mission, he was quite sure if needed he would be able to solve the issue of killer by himself but it was always better to have someone there to back you up in case it isn’t just one person and more like a whole gang of people. So, for now Chisana waited for the other Magic Knight to show up, he would be patient and calm as usual.
The day started out normal as the Azure Deer Knight was working in the Investigations Office. He was looking through some files on a few different cases that were placed on his desk. Everyday it always feels like his desk gathers more and more files. This was not what he had expected when he joined this Squad. Don’t get it wrong, though, Naxel loved his squad along with everyone within it. It was a place that never had a dull moment, and always had stuff to keep you busy. Especially when that one mysterious fool comes through the investigation office to mess everything up. Papers would be thrown everywhere, chairs would be tipped over, and looked like a mana junky rampaged through the filing cabinets. Luckily, there was times where one of the other Azure Deer members would come in and clean it all up. It wasn’t their job to clean up after someone else’s mess. Naxel would easily pick up even though it wasn’t his mess that he caused. But this young girl would take time out of her day to clean this office every time it would get messed up. Hopefully, one day, Naxel will catch whoever this fool was, and stop them from messing anything up again.
While Naxel was sitting at his desk he would hear a knock on the door. Those who knocked on the door to this office knew that this room wasn’t just for anyone. You had to be a member of the Investigation team in order to come into the office, or unless someone from the team called you in here. So, Naxel would inform the person, who knocked, that they could come in. “The door is open.” Saying with a gentle tone as he was still looking over a file. When he turned his head he would notice that it was his friend the Missions Officer. Naxel never really asked the man what his name was. Most of the time he would come in, say what he needed to say, and then leave almost as quickly as he entered. The young Noble would turn his attention to the man that seemed like he had some information that he had to get off of his chest. “What ya got for me today?” Speaking to the man with a playful tone in his voice. “A mission has come up in the town of Raque. Apparently there has been some tourists that were going missing. The Mayor has requested the assistance from the Magic Knights. This file came across my desk, and I figured you would like to assist another Magic Knight on this.” Looking Naxel into his eyes like he will do every time they speak. Naxel would give them man a small smirk once he heard that last part. “Ya know, I do like me a good investigation. Sometimes I just wish I could teach some of these people some simple investigation skills. Know what I mean?” Responding back to the man. “Anyway, of course ill accept it. Maybe it will be Cyrus or Rose again that needs my assistance. I haven’t seen them in a while.” Finishing off his response before the man taking his leave from the office.
After the man took his leave from the Investigations office it was time for Naxel to do the same. He grabbed his mantle off the back of his chair, and made his way out into the main area of the base. Before heading off he would look down onto his right arm to make sure his Shadow Chariot was equipped. This was an important item he needed for when it was time to head back to the base. Naxel always hated whenever he had to ask the Spatial mage to check in periodically. To him it just seemed like that was much unneeded excessive work that could be avoided. So that is why he made sure that he has his own means of transportation for the way back home. Naxel would then approach the spatial mage that was awaiting him by the main entrance. He told the mage where he needed to go, and a portal appeared right in front of the door. Going through portals would bother him at times. If he was going to somewhere that he had never been before it would honestly scare him. You would never really know what was awaiting for you on the other side. But today he was just heading over to Raque. A place he has been a few times before on different missions. So, he stepped through the portal only to exit on the other side. Everything still seemed to be the same as the last time he came here. People were all smiling and laughing, despite the events that have been going on. Though, they were probably just putting up a front incased with fear that they would be next. Hopefully, after today, there would be no reason for the to fear at all. That was a promise that he was going to try and keep.
Naxel eventually made his way through the town that he was transported too. Naxel wasn’t really informed on where he was told to meet up with his partner for this mission. The only thing that he was really told about the mission, besides the details, was that the mayor of the town had requested the Magic Knights assistance. So, with that information, he figured that he should make his way over to wherever the mayor resided. Naxel then made his way over to the building that seemed to have a magic knight standing out front. He couldn’t really tell until he was able to get within a reasonable distance from the place. As he thought, it was a Magic Knight. The thing he didn’t know was that it was a member of the Black Bulls squad. For as long as hes been a member here he has never seen a member of the Black Bulls. Now it was time for him to actually meet one. Naxel would walk up to the Magic Knight as he got close enough to them. “So, You must be my partner for this mission. My name is Naxel Blake, Intermediate 5th Class Knight.” Saying with a friendly gentle tone to his voice. He always liked to greet people with a friendly tone. Some people may not like it, but it didn’t matter to him. He was raised better than to treat someone poorly.

Chisana wasn’t sure how long he had ended up waiting for the person who was suppose to help him with completing the task but by the time the guy had arrived, He had a basic understanding of the set up of the town by now due to just asking a bunch of questions to the locals. Which in the long run wasn’t a bad thing for either of them due to the task that they were suppose to be taking care of anyways. It was crazy to think they were basically here to actually find a serial killer who was terrorizing the tourists who flocked to the city for the food and sights. In the distance a new mana signature seemed to pop up it was slightly stronger then the majority of the common people here and made Chisana look off in that direction. A man of average height and slim build with brown hair and wearing the mantle of the Azure Deer, which funny enough was the Magic Knight squad that Chisana had originally planned on trying to join when he first awoke his magic and got his grimoire and way before he had his run in the Captain Malcolm. Chisana still smirked while thinking of that fateful encounter, The guy approached him and was polite introducing himself as Naxel Blake an Intermediate 5th class Magic knight. Chisana had heard of the name Blake from his lessons since becoming apart of the Shengxiao family there were another house of lesser nobles like them but they tended to actually grow up together and the like instead of how the Shengxiao family was pretty splintered till they awoke their magic and got their markings.
"Hello Naxel, It's a pleasure to meet you." Chisana would say politely with a kind smile on his face. "I am Chisana Shengxiao, a Junior 5th class, I just recently joined the Black Bulls so I hope I can be of assistance." Chisana didn't mind showing respect to those who were suppose to be of higher standing then him but he would silently keep track of how Naxel acts on the mission to determine if they deserve to keep that respect. It was something that was beat into him growing up, Give people face until they no longer deserve it.
"The mayor is waiting inside I have already informed them of our arrival but I told them you were finishing up some secondary task just so they didn't think we were just sending whoever to take care of this." Chisana said with a smile.
He turned towards the building and begun to make his way inside, the building was a massive two story building that both worked as the mayor’s actual home and the town center where they posted up any requests or filed complaints as needed. Chisana waved at the receptionist, she waved them towards the Mayor’s office signaling he was free and ready for their arrival and to go ahead and head inside. So after making sure that Naxel was still with him Chisana made his way to the door, opened it for the other mage and gestured for him to go first since he was afterward the higher ranking individual.

(OOC: Was given the go-ahead to finish this mission due to lack of response from other member.)
Weirdly the other mage seemed to be lost in thought and after a small bit of time passed spoke about having to take care of something else and asked for forgiveness for the sudden need to leave when they were just getting introduced to each other. Chisana waved it off and gave a polite smile to Naxel as he watched him dash off to take care of whatever problem or issue that had came up so abruptly, “Well I guess it’s just up to me to take care of the request, I shouldn’t keep the mayor waiting then.” Chisana said to no one in particular as he continued into the mayor’s office where the older gentleman looked over some forms at the young mage who had entered his workplace.
“Hello, I am Chisana Shengxiao, I am here from the Black Bulls to resolve the request that you posted about the missing women in the area.” Chisana would state professionally and politely.
“Ah yes though I thought there would be at least another mage for this request but if they have the confidence that you can do this alone then so be it, I have heard how “unorthodox” the Black Bulls are.” The mayor said as he eyed the young man in front of him, the boy could not be more then 15 or 16 in age and here he was to help take care of a potential serial killer.
“There has been a slew of missing women in the area young man, the bodies have been found with massive bruises around their neck, arms and legs and lacerations all around their body.” The mayor stated plainly as he briefed the young man in front of him. “The bruises look like chain marks so we assume that is what is being used by the culprit, this is all the information we have at the moment and it looks like he tends to hang around this particular area.” The mayor gestured to the file he had and to the map where he stabbed his finger at the area that they had been able to narrow down wherever this psychopath had to be hiding. The only reason why the city wasn’t able to deal with the culprit themselves is due to lack of personnel and power, they were sure the culprit was a mage of some ranking and they just didn’t have the ability to capture the person or kill the person themselves.
“Is there anything you need or any questions? I can’t offer any help besides the information here and pointing you in the right direction.” Chisana looked at the information given to him and the area where he needed to search.
“No sir this should be plenty. I will start my work now and will return once finished.” Chisana bowed and exited the Mayor’s office making his way over to where the map had narrowed down the search area for the culprit. It looked like the culprit was a mage who used chains in their spells, Chisana had a good idea what kind of place to look for due to his own thinking when it came to his obsessions. Already he felt a slight kinship to the culprit and while Chisana had never gone so far to kill someone he had an interest in it had certainly crossed his mind in some cases he was just lucky that he joined the Black Bulls when he did and their slew of knowledge that helped with his tendencies.
Chisana decided that the best course of action would be to send out his golems and use them to the fullest of their ability to help with the search. Now they would not be able to tell him in great detail on what they find but if he sent them out with the task of finding key things it would greatly help with the search. They would need to locate any areas that were just out of sight but not super hidden, generally the hideouts tended to be right in the open due to most people not believing that anything could bad like the murders could happen in a spot so open. If they had multiple entry places would also be a key location so that the culprit had plenty of places to exit out of so places that had backways to an alleyway or into some off the street area would probably be the best bet to look for. So with these basic things to look for Chisana cast his spell, “Bird” Which summoned five Junior light golems which would fly around street by street sending back the basic information of what he was looking for as they slowly progressed through the area that the Mayor had told him that the culprit had to be in.
They were about halfway through the search when two of his golems sent him some information that seemed promising. An abandoned tavern that had access to a back alley that lead both to the main street and to an open field that was connected to many other alleys, that would be the perfect place for someone being chased to disappear to since it had so many different pathways to run into. It also seemed to scream “abduction” central since it was so easy to get lost in those alleyways, so Chisana quickly made his way over to the area. His goal was to stake out the tavern before he proceeded to make his way into the place, he needed to cancel his “bird” spell and resummon some more golems to help him out in this task.

He questioned the local people about any foot traffic that happened around the abandoned tavern, most stated they never say or heard anything going on in there besides some local thugs that use to use it as a hangout but they hadn’t even seen them in quite some time and others stated they would see some person enter and exit the building but they were pretty sure it was just a homeless person using it as shelter which wasn’t to unusual in this part of town and since they never bothered them or interfered with their businesses the locals didn’t really care. To Chisana this assured him that this was the place the mage was using as his hideout it was out of the way enough that people didn’t pay attention to it, it had a history of use of the beggars and homeless so people were use to seeing people enter it and exit it and any strange noise could be faulted to the poor being the poor.
Chisana smiled and decided it was time to go all out in his siege of the tavern. He cast four different spells, “Gorilla.” Which summoned 5 Junior Heavy golems, “Falcon.” Which summoned 3 Intermediate Light golems. “Soldier.” Which summoned 3 Intermediate Balanced Golems, and lastly “Kong” Which summoned 3 Intermediate Heavy Golems. Right now, he had 14 golems and he sent 3 Kong golems and 5 Gorilla to the back exit and took the rest to the front exit. He had 1 soldier golem smash the front door and a Kong golem smash the back door as they rushed into the building, there hadn’t been any reaction till he heard something come from the basement he heard shouting from some person who sounded quite anger. He ordered a Kong golem to the basement and from the wreakage some chains lashed out at the golem dealing 1 juniors worth of damage. The golem grabbed the chains and pulled the mage up to the surface floor and there he saw how outnumbered he was, all exits blocked by golems and there sat Chisana smiling at the mage.
“Now listen we can do this easy and you just come with me or we do this hard and we see how long you last; the choice is yours.” Chisana said with a smug smile on his face. The mage looked at him in anger and rage not believing that the one who had found him was some child who barely looked old enough to even shave, he lashed out with his chain magic smacking the golems surrounding him dealing 1 junior’s worth of damage to the golems that surrounded him. Chisana just laughed harder. “You are too weak for this number of golems. Chisana Ordered his 1 falcon, 2 soldier and 1 kong golems to attack the mage, it was like watching a swarm of ants crush an intruder. When the capture was complete the man laid beaten and probably had some broken bones, Chisana ordered one of his Falcon golems to carry the man and they left the tavern as a small parade of golems. They arrived back at the mayor’s office only hours after being there earlier that day. It was an impressive sight the young Shengxiao riding his Golems like a commander and they dropped off the Chain mage into the authorities’ hand.
“You will find his hideout here at this abandoned Tavern where you will certainly find all the evidence of the crimes he has committed.” Chisana stated as he showed the mayor where on the map the place was where he had captured the mage and bowed to the mayor. “I will be taking my leave now sir. I hope that my work has been up to standard.” Chisana said as he dismissed his golems except for 1 falcon golem that would help him get back to the Black Bull base.
