Thief in Sarizate. Not surprising

Zechs was walking through the streets of Sarizate, remembering meeting the one named "Serephene", and almost initiating combat with his leader. While thinking back on that, he was still focused on his mission, and a mundane one at that, he was to patrol Sarizate, spotting anything suspicious, and to diffuse any situation that broke out.

"Like anything will go wrong.."

Just as he stopped for a drink from his flask, he spotted someone, and was rather suspicious.

"Hm?"

He had walked toward the suspicious figure, looming over him with a cold, menacing stare, with his hand on his sword.

"Going somewhere?"

Augusto had arrived in the streets of Sarizate after a few days of traveling. He went to the store earlier and stole a few things which explains his new wardrobe. Someone was looking over the young teen. Augusto started to laugh as the man talked. "No...I'm going to stay right here.." Augusto said sarcastically while turning to face the man.

"Hm. Mind telling me how you were able to get such items? Because it seems you've managed to get the most expensive attires."

His hand still on the sword's hilt, keeping his cold stare on him, he raised an eyebrow, awaiting the answer of this kid.

Augusto scratched the back of his neck. "About that...haha..." he tried saying. "I'll get back to you!" Augusto shouted while running towards a cart full of food.

"Tch."

He shot up an ice shield, stopping the thief in his tracks, slowly walking toward him, drawing his sword, and let out a sigh.

"You aren't running, are you?"

Augusto started to laugh a bit more. "Not running just fast walking plus I was off to do something..." Augusto added.

Throwing his sword in the ground, he gave the thief an unconvinced look.

"Yes, you were, on your way to the stockade for thievery."

He picked up his sword, holding it out toward the thief.

"This boy doesn't seem like any average thief, he is very obvious, almost confident, what is he hiding..?"

"Maybe you're right or maybe you're wrong..." Augusto said taking off his suit which showed a blue shirt. "Is he on too me...I need to think of a strategy..." Augusto then dropped a lot of other things from his pockets. "There...happy..." Augusto started to tear up. "My family is just so poor and I-I wanted to support them...this was the only way..."

Zechs hadn't moved his cold attitude at the breakdown of the thief, he inspected the thief from top to bottom, and let out a sigh.

"That isn't all you have, is it?"

He walked over to the thief, holding his sword over his head.

"So why don't you give it up, you are not fooling anyone here."

A smirk appeared on the teen's face. "Sleight Step.." he muttered under his breath. Augusto took a giant leap into the air and safely landed on a roof. "Can't catch me now!" Augusto yelled, running from roof to roof.

"I wouldn't be too sure of that!"

He ran up the building, wall jumping between the two buildings before landing on the roof, and ran after the thief accompanied by his Speed Excel.

"You won't get far."

He created 3 daggers and threw them at the thief at blinding speeds.

Augusto jumped higher as Sleight Step allowed him to be in the air for a brief time. He landed on the pavement. Augusto went inside one of the many wagons to hide.

Zechs trailed behind him, following him down to the pavement, but lost him amongst the numerous wagons.

"How in the world was he able to do that.."

He calmed his nerves, and awaited in silence, acknowledging his surroundings, he darted his vision to a certain wagon, he rushed toward it and jumped high in the air, creating 3 small ice spears he threw them at the wagon, resulting in it shattering, creating a cloud of smoke, as he stood and awaited the result of his attack.

"Did that do it?"

Augusto saw that the man attacked the wrong wagon and smiled in relief. He also noticed that his wagon and another 3 wagons were being moved.

He saw nothing but horrified civilians as he turned his attention to the remaining wagons, and became furious at the thought of letting this thief go.

"You will not get away!"

He ran toward the three wagons, with his created Dragon Claws, he clenched the back of the wagons, and ripped them back, sending them flying backwards, and grabbed the middle one, and slowly ripped it in half, revealing the thief.

"There you are!"

Augusto was, like the civilians, horrified. He reached into his pocket and got out a a sword attached to a chain. "Phantom's Hand..." he whispered. The weapon was now invisible. Augusto swung the weapon around and had it latched to a wall. This then caused Augusto to follow and be next to the wall. He got up and started running but not without throwing the weapon toward the man. It was impossible for the man to dodge this as he couldn't see it.

He saw the thief throw something at him, be he didn't see anything, at last second he shot up an ice shield, but the sword had still pierced halfway into his shoulder.

"Tch.."

He knew something had hit him, he motioned his hand toward his shoulder, and ripped the sword out and continued after the thief accompanied by his Speed Excel he ran past the thief and stopped in front of him, slashing downwards with his Dragon Claws.

Augusto was happy his attack was a success but realized he was going to be attacked. He got out a small shield and made it turn invisible. He put it in front of himself

He suspected the same tactic he used for his sword, so he stopped his slash, and dashed behind the thief with his Speed Excel, making a jab with an ice dagger.

Augusto bit his lip and put the shield behind him so he wasn't hit but this caused his shield to be broken. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" Augusto yelled. Many people started to look at him. Many men and woman came closer and surrounded Augusto. "Stop hurting this poor kid!" said various people as the hugged Augusto

Zechs looked around at the crowds, looking behind to see crashed wagons in the side of buildings, he slowly stood up, and brushed off his coat.

"Are you really defending this thief?"

He walked over to the kid, picking him up by the shirt collar, and tossing him to a standing position.

"What is your name?"

The civilians grew angry. "M-m-my n-n-name is Augusto..." Augusto said in a soft and nervous tone.

He scowled at the crowds, and turned his attention to the thief.

"So, Augusto, I don't often deal kindly with thieves, but you clearly possess unique abilities, so I am offering you an invite to join Concuclare, your powers will be put to good use and will no longer be reduced to thievery for survival."

He gestured his hand out and awaited his response.

Augusto didn't know how to respond and he looked back at the people. They were all looking the other way which made Augusto sad. "I'll join Concuclare but I will need some training first.." Augusto added shaking the man's hand

He lowered his hood, revealing his pure white hair.

"Training will be mandatory, do not worry. Welcome to Concuclare, Augusto."
