((Enter from the Kouchou Gardens.))

With the energy of a stampede of wild horses, Magnum had finally set foot within the legendary gardens of the Butterfly Country.As usual, there were many wandering on and about happily within the maze-like garden. Looking around to see where the person who Tenza needed to see was there, it was obvious that this little genin had the patience of a big bad wolf with nothing to eat.

I'm gonna be a shinobi! The ve-ry best shinobi! he thought in a sing-song tone. He had made visits here before; But he had never really walked around in the gardens. All he knew was that butterfiles were always here, along with many others, even at the dead of night sometimes. And apparently, this would be where he may get his first real mission, even if it was wishful thinking.

"Come on, come on, come on!" Magnum grumbled.

Still looking around for a bit, Magnum's excitement began to wane. What would replace it would be impatience alone. Gritting his teeth slightly, Magnum was still looking around, not really caring if Tenza came along or not.

Turning to look at Tenza, Magnum wasn't exactly sure why he asked him such a question. Especially since he was just a little bit sore about how he took his staff earlier. Thinking about his own question, Magnum merely shrugged."Near a large apartment complex. More importantly, what would you care?" he asked in a blank tone.


"And where is this "associate of yours, hmm? Living it up at the center of this maze, I presume?" he asked in a rather deep but snobby tone.

"Nope." Magnum stated simply. Following Tenza and his two guards around the famous gardens, Magnum didn't even have the smallest of ideas as to why he would ask something like that. Raising an eyebrow, he was growing somewhat curious at Tenza's reasoning fr such things right now. Was it for money? Possibly even to split the profit by our each, the other two being Tenza's guards? Or was it merely to just make a proposal he shouldn't refuse.

"Meh. And besides, just what would I care?"he stated in a rather arrogant tone.

Though this had been the first time he had indeed entered the center of the legendary maze, Magnum was not in awe. It was more of impatience and bemused. Looking at Tenza before he urned to look at the mysterious individual covered in robes.

"Bah!" Magnum roared. "This is your associate? Some weirdo who has to walk around looking like an idiot?" he asked in a rather impatient tone. Crossing his two arms, he awaited Tenza's answer, albeit briefly before he chose to speak once more.

"Jeez, Tenza, don't you have any common sense?" he stated mockingly.

"Excuse me?" Magnum asked, barely containing his excitement. His first mission as a shinobi--He didn't even care that he was brought down with someone also accompanying him. And to Magnum, it obviously involved him busting a few heads. Which made him jump up and down with joy.

His first mission. Things were looking up for the genin indeed.

"What kind of mission is it, Tenza?" asked Magnum in curious tone.

"So, what did this broad do? Is she like a criminal or something?" Magnum asked. But then again, what he was really thinking about was what he was on his first mission! And an easy one at that to him.

Crossing his arms, Magnum's excitement soon grew to impatience. Why was he wasting time when he could be kicking ass at this point?

"So, how long do we have?" he asked Tenza.

"So, she's like a siren?" asked Magnum. Truth be told, he wasn't all too afraid, mainly because he had thought that she wasn't all too tough. Such was the thought process of Magnum cazador--hot air. Turning to face Mikenno, Magnum had a rather smug expression, somewhat amused by the tale of the "demon".


"Pshaw! I mean, what bozo just lets some weirdo just waltz on by and decimate a whole village? An idiot, that's who. I mean, if I was there, she'd have her tail in between her legs. Decimating whole villages. Hah! You guys crack me up." he stated with great pride. "Am I right, or are you guys wrong?" he asked in a joking manner.
