Task: A boy has been putting graffiti on the wall of buildings. He has thus far managed to escape custody, and posses skills equal to that of an Academy ninja, able to move around on rooftops to escape capture. Now it is your turn to try and capture him, good luck!

Skorn greatly resented doing missions, but hey, he had to eat right? Besides, the only missions that he was permitted to go on were cakewalks, they were of the easiest class. Having previously wiped out 75% of his densely populated homeland’s people, Skorn could have easily gone on an S-rank mission; however, it was much easier to just do a plethora of lower ranking tasks. Once in awhile, he even found pleasure in one of these missions. Today would be one such occasion. Skorn pulled a “D” labeled tag off the mission board directly in front of him, and flipping it over, examined its writing. Ah, so his task was to catch a young village delinquent; a prankster. Skorn greatly disliked child pranksters, mainly because he was one himself, and they defiled his crazy form of art. His pranks were usually taken to a whole new level, often times quite brutal and cruel, but hey, that’s how good pranks had to be. For reasons like this, he did not find throwing toilet paper all over some old man’s house entertaining. Well, this young attention whore would be easy enough to find if he was into simpleton activities such as these. Walking through the streets, it did not take him a very long time to find the little idiot. His first clue came when he saw a small house completely covered in toilet paper; just what he had been suspecting. These kids totally lacked creativity nowadays. Scanning the area with his keen eyes, Skorn looked for any clue that might reveal the child’s hiding place. Being a prankster himself, Skorn knew from experience that the culprit of such deeds generally liked to stay hidden and observe the chaos ensuing from his stupid games. Ah, that’s it! Fence pickets were vertical not horizontal! Oh, why had Skorn not noticed this sooner. The little clown’s disguise skills were pitiful, much worse than Skorn’s even when he was in the academy. The mat that he used to cloak his appearance against the fence was not only off color, but it was being held the wrong way. Picking up a rock from the ground, Skorn tosses it at the mat, hitting the child behind it in the abdomen. With a gasp, the mat is dropped and a young, bald child comes running out. He only gets a few paces before he runs into Skorn’s muscular teenage body; he is knocked to the ground. Skorn’s speed was so superior, that the prankster had not even noticed him moving to intercept his little jaunt. Skorn grabs the kid by the collar and yanks him off the ground, contemplating whether or not to kill him and devour his corpse. No, he would not be able to collect his reward if he did so. At this point, tears are streaming down the terrified boy’s face as he cries for his mommy. Skorn shrugs. This kid might as well reward him for his wasted 15 minutes. Skorn bites a small hunk of flesh from the child’s exposed arm, as he is wearing a tank top. The sweet taste of the blood mixes with the savory melody of the meat and flesh. It is delicious. Blood dribbles down Skorn’s chin as he longs to consume the bawling kid completely, but he resolves not to. Hopefully the village officials would not notice the clear bite marks on the boy’s bloody arm, or the blood dribbling down Skorn’s face. He drags the mediocre prankster back to the village square, drawing strange stares from civilians. After tossing the child into the hands of the higher-ups, he collects his pay and searches for more missions.
