Job: Nightmare Challenge: Ice Mage's Greatest Work [Private, Yuuto Shinigami]

A small gust appeared and smoothly ran through the air, the clouds separated, which allowed the wind to carry. Upon this wind came a soothing breeze, and furthermore, the awakening of Yuuto Shingami. Snowfall Island: hence the name, a very cold, arctic-like island with a frozen sea surrounding it; one of the few colder areas than this island being Yuuto's heart. Yuuto arrived under his mask, and an especially layered robe to prevent the coolness from entering his body. He memorized the footsteps left within the snow to trace his partner for this mission. God have mercy upon the poor soul for being damned with a companion, other than travelling alone. However, Yuuto knew that, should he have entered solo, the boy would have been defeated, and possibly dead from the outcome.

Albeit, here he was, in the particularly frozen island of the several in Fiore, completely energized as the cool wind boosted his adrenaline. While Yuuto approached his partner, he memorized what there was to surround him at the time, and took notice of their properties, as well. Here in Snowfall Island, the landscape seemed to be more fragile, and so Yuuto needed to know what was more likely to break in this island, and what was most likely to stay stable. Fragility versus stability; this was Yuuto's investigation, currently. "I hope you can finish this job quickly. I have other places to attend to, after all." Yuuto greeted oddly, yet with a threatening voice, enhanced with a demonic tone. After awhile, it had been confirmed: Yuuto was a devil-esque Mage. He never memorized his surroundings for good, but for evil. In fact, the only person he promised any ounce of kindness to was his beloved Leona, though unfortunately, a Yuuto could not join her in this mission. Being paired in this mission was from the luck of the draw. Luck, something Yuuto never had other than that one night.

"The name is Yuuto..." Yuuto interrupted, infuriated. What the hell was with this lady, anyways, trying to look mighty and tough? Sure, this was how Yuuto normally was, though he didn't bother to comment on the woman's strength, albeit. "Also, you can never consider a Memory Mage lost. We look upon things in the same fashion as God sees the world; we see and memorize everything...eternally." Yuuto spat on the ground near the lady to reveal how pitiful she was to him, at the moment. "I'll make a compromise." Yuuto remarked, "We both call each other by name, or I'll use a spell to ensure every living thing within this island comes for you, at once- maybe your little pet, first." Yuuto didn't care if the lady stated that she was willing to leave. With how the island was now, Yuuto was afraid that the original route for entering this island had broken off already. With this being said, should the woman attempt to leave the island, she would most likely have to make herself vulnerable to the threats of Snowfall, otherwise, whilst Yuuto could leave at ease. His eyes reflected this while Yuuto distanced himself from Janna, disgusted.

"Rank only assures you a bigger spot on a guild's hierarchy. You think I care about such things? If you honestly think rank resembles power, you better fix that goofy mind of yours, immediately." Again, Yuuto spat so Janna now had to see one ounce of spit to her west and her east. "So, now that name-calling is over, let's keep silent, and complete this mission, shall we?" This question was quite rhetorical, seeing as Yuuto proceeded, anyways. He had already gotten really tired of Janna, after all, and thought better of himself after the female had threatened him. In fact, thanks to her words, Yuuto remembered just how beneficial Memory-Make could be to any respective Mage; outside or inside a fight or two. Oh, how Janna reminded Yuuto of what'd be like to see Leona in the opposite form. It was strange, yet funny to witness, actually. It was unfortunate that dark Mages normally interacted this way, for most Dark Mages tended to be quite difficult to handle, no matter what the situation. You see, a Legal Mage would much rather enjoying seeing sights from the top of a cliff, whereas a Dark Mage would rather enjoy seeing that Mage fall off the cliff, and fail to survive the impact; physically and mentally. This is just an example as to how the world was to be made, especially involving those with great power.

Yuuto instantaneously pointed to the direction in which he knew the next objective of this mission would begin. It was ironic, actually. The snowy winds blew in this direction, and once Yuuto saw from afar that the snowy winds would near large snow banks, the wind suddenly ascended, then disappeared in the dark sky. Why would the wind turn so suddenly, as if it were scared? It was true that this was only an assumption, for Yuuto could not memorize the future, though it was a logical prediction, otherwise.

Yuuto sighed in disappointment when he was interrupted walking to the next destination. This lady really did believe in ranks too much, and thought that she was superior to the Memory Mage. Little did she know, even magic didn't always matter. What was interested, however, was the fact that Yuuto was able to spot those dragon fangs in Janna's mouth while she spoke with him, pinned against an ice sculpture so suddenly. Oh, how Yuuto's intent for obliterating this woman only increased by the second. "I could care less about Tartarus, as well, though I'd watch what you say." Yuuto commented once he was let down, and snatched the dagger from Janna's hand. He pointed it at her face immediately, a dark smirk appearing on his face. Her magic had already been memorized in Yuuto's mind, meaning yet another spell could be activated in this very moment. Yuuto laughed maniacally now that he was in this situation, inches away from the lady, with her life now threatened.

"You know, it's quite unfortunate when someone else has to die due to another's hostility. However, like I said, if you're willing to compromise, none of this has to happen; no threats, no killing- nothing." Yuuto chuckled and kept the knife pointed towards Janna's head, her ways of moving also memorized, along with the reactions of her nerves. It was indeed funny the moment the two were in. Janna was looking at a statue, with a dagger near her skull, whilst Yuuto simply tried to compromise actions with the woman. His grip was so tight on the dagger, as if it were something he'd put in a time capsule for his descendants to see twenty or so years into the future. "We are to defeat an Ice Mage that no one has successfully defeated for ages, along with its constructions. Understood?" Yuuto replied angrily, the darkness in his voice eternally rising.

It was then that Yuuto kicked Janna against the ice sculpture, and witnessed an immediate crack run through the entirety of the statue in an instant. Yuuto occasionally endured mood swings, though with these, Yuuto most often only became darker, and recalled miserable emotions he once suffered. The kick he had just placed upon Janna was a sign of this. "Rank, power, magic; none of this matters if a cocky witch like yourself exists." Yuuto remarked, "I suggest you follow what I say here, otherwise the two of you die, and this dagger is mine." Yuuto hoped that Janna understood the concept of speed versus distance, for as he determined how close the two were, and with how close the dagger was to Janna's skull, unless she could move literally in a flash, she would at least be pierced somewhere in her body by the dagger to stun her, which would ultimately lead Yuuto to killing her should she choose to move. In other words, Yuuto suggested indirectly that Janna be wise with her actions, for it had been fifteen minutes now, and the three had travelled absolutely nowhere; all due to the snickering of this Savage Skull girl.

Yuuto smirked when Janna released herself from his grasp. "Impressive. Seems we can work as a team." Yuuto compromised. After he noticed how swiftly Janna could break herself out of life-threatening situations, he figured Janna could be of use to him- at least for this mission. She warned him about what was to strike his rear, though, with his capabilities of memorizing sound and footsteps, it was almost as if Yuuto foresaw the events Janna spoke to him about. With the dagger he now held, Yuuto turned rapidly to pierce one of the two monsters behind him between the eyes. Though they were made out of strong ice, as any sort of living creature, these monsters could still feel pain. Not only that, but since they were also within fifteen feet of Yuuto's grasp, his special spell could now be activated. Yuuto left the dagger pierced in the first monster's head, then immediately placed his fingertips along his temples. Lightning bolts came raging down upon both monsters after this spell Yuuto used, and pierced them both in the back of the head; four bolts per head. The lightning struck through the ice that formed these beings, and manipulated their inner bodies of water- used to form the ice- in order to electrocute the opposition. The monsters fell dead in an instant, which allowed Yuuto to watch Janna fight the third enemy.

While he watched her brawl, the dagger had fallen off a corpse, and partially sunk into the snow. The cool, white material relaxed the electricity that made the dagger roar with an additional flow of power. However, once Yuuto sensed that the extra strength had vanished, he grasped upon the bag, and tapped Janna on the bag. "I'm done with this." Yuuto mentioned as he passed along the dagger to his teammate. The two were definitely fighting alongside each other at this moment in time, and boy did Yuuto despise it. He just wished there was another being to slaughter so Yuuto could vent his rage towards the woman. Who knew a woman like Janna could exist to mistreat him so well. She was definitely the opposite of his beloved Leona.

'Monster Dice' :

Yuuto watched as the lady he was paired seemed to be a ReQuip Mage, or a swordsman, in that matter- "swordswoman" if you want to be technical. Albeit, it was impressive to see how a young girl like herself could spawn weapons with ease, let alone immediately. Quantity was also another specialty. Though it was just a single monster, in what seemed to be less than ten seconds, the creature was defeated. However, what came next would far exceed what the two just endured; the almighty Ice Mage. Figuratively, it was a monster, though in the realistic way Yuuto saw him, the Ice Mage was in human form. "The name is Frost, and like the others who dared to harm my brothers and sisters, I'll have you perish." The man greeted in a quite threatening tone. However, Yuuto took none of which the man spoke negatively, nor offensively. In fact, Yuuto treated the words spoken as if they were nothing.

"You know what to do, Janna." Yuuto remarked. Once he said this however, a bolt of ice struck him in the mask, and shattered it in a split second. Underneath, especially, a cut was now seen through Yuuto's right eye, though, thanks to the support the mask once gave, his pupil was unharmed. On the contrary, Yuuto's mind was so insane, that his willpower was off the charts. So long as Yuuto didn't experience death in this moment, nothing would hurt him. "Mind if I give that magic a try?" Yuuto asked with a taunting tone. The boy clinched his teeth in response, then launched what seemed to be an ice bullet near Yuuto's head. However, in an instant, that spell was locked. His spells were memorized, and so Yuuto could now manipulate magic. In a flash, the bullet was redirected towards the assisting monster's head with perfect accuracy. Though the matter was ice versus ice, the result revealed an interesting outcome. The ice had penetrated the monster and rifled through its head immediately, all due to some immediate adjustments Yuuto made. You see, any magic he manipulated was also enhanced with cosmic energy. This cosmic energy ultimately differentiates a manipulated spell from its original attribute, thus making it superior. It was now a two versus one fight, though with what Frost had planned next, this brawl wouldn't be pretty.

"Ice-Make: Eternal Damnation!" All of the snow that gathered around Janna and Yuuto reformed into ice. After this, it ascended, then compiled itself into one humongous, boulder of ice. The boulder then multiplied so it surrounded the two that fought Frost, and aimed to crash into them. By the name Frost declared, this seemed to be his ace move. However, by the mysterious look this boy gave, it seemed this spell could be far worse.

Yuuto sighed when he saw Janna fight more fiercely. She really was aggressive, and charged quite swiftly. However, both of these aspects had their weaknesses, which Yuuto was worried about. You see, the more speed one had, the more damage they would ultimately receive if rebounded elsewhere. Also, by being aggressive, one generally also makes them more vulnerable than one should. However, once Janna mentioned an interesting question, Yuuto discarded an older plan, and utilized a new one. Of course, with this plan, he would actually give more Janna more power. "A great flow of power is about to fill your body. You better thank me after." Yuuto threatened before he utilized his Memory-Make Magic for the first time to be supportive. He manipulated Janna's movements to allow her to channel more magic by sacrificing some of his own spell power. Additionally, by placing his fingertips against his temples, manipulating Janna's own mind, Yuuto, via his partner's magic reserve, gave her the essence of his "Night of Falling Stars" spell. The lightning that this particular form of magic expelled granted additional speed and damage to Janna's "Heaven's Wheel", though there was also another property that would catch Frost by surprise. Lightning immediately shot itself from Janna's plans, despite them still being airborne, and eliminated the boulders in a flash, piercing through the ice, and having it shatter all over the battlefield. Cuts from the ice fed themselves over Yuuto and his partner, though they would account for nothing as the two were about to attain victory in this brawl.

"Use the spell in a minute!" Yuuto demanded. Though this statement also sounded threatening, there was a hinting tone that also revealed a true sense of teamwork, meaning Yuuto now chose to willingly collaborate with Janna. Yuuto then figured, however, that while he awaited the activation of Janna's magically enhanced wheel of swords, he would distract Frost with hand-to-hand. "Come, Frost. You'll be the first Mage that I have perish." Yuuto invited. Of course, with how destructive Frost was, Yuuto expected him to immediately accept the challenge- which he did. There was a look that Frost gave earlier, which signified that there was another spell he had up his sleeve; possibly stronger. However, as the night sky hovered over the battlefield, Yuuto's victory was assured. With rapid movements, Yuuto started with an uppercut to Frost's chin, sending him airborne. Then, with an even faster movement, Yuuto found a dead tree, and instinctively bounced off of it to launch himself upwards towards Frost's now-airborne body. Once above the airborne body, Yuuto released a roundhouse kick to deal an extreme impact upon Frost's chest, nailing him downwards, and towards the ground's surface at extreme speeds. Once Yuuto descended, he noticed how that identical dark grin appeared on Yuuto's grin. Frost seemed to launch a similar spell compared to the one that was just recently expelled, except at bullet speed. Unfortunately, there was a lineage that made Yuuto invincible in the night for a single minute: the Prophecy of Nyx. While the bullets were launched his way, Yuuto utilized this lineage to merge with the shadows, then, while the whole surface was covered in shadows, these bullets of ice failed to affect him at all, and Yuuto reappeared behind Frost. Again, Yuuto kicked upwards to not only send Frost airborne, but in a perfect angle compared to Janna's spell. If Janna were to simultaneously use her enhanced blades upon Frost at this point, the strike would be indefinite, and Frost would most likely die from the damage. Albeit, Yuuto was still behind Frost to annihilate him afterwards, if be the case. "NOW!" Yuuto signaled, his voice full of cruel pleasure, and a dark grin towards Janna which signified the victory she was about to claim.
