The Mission

In was early in the morning, the sun started to rise and so did the student within the magic academy.

The Metal door was open and there were sitting four mortals. They were perching in the middle now not like the last time.

I was in front of the teacher and he was explaining the fundamentals.

"System how's the progress of analyzing the data?"

Blood Manipulation Techniques-0%- Will take 6 another hours if focused on to complete the process.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was frustrated that it takes soo long to process.

The lessons helped a lot in speeding up the process of analyzing.

In the middle of the class I asked:

"Teacher, I have a question."

"What is it ?"

"How much is for Basic Technique to manipulate Metal Elemental ?"

"5 MS" -(Magic Stones)

"I see, thank you for the answer"

I, of course, was dissatisfied with the answer because it was high and I would have to do some missions to get that much. I sighed and shook my head.

After the first lesson, it started the Space Class and it was empty like last time and I felt like I was getting private lessons.

In the room, I could only hear the old mans voice as if the other sounds were suppressed.

The today's lesson was a continuation of the last one.

The lesson was about Basic Understanding of Space part II and important rules that must be followed when making a teleport matrix.

The subject was longer than the others that's why it took a little longer and also it was hard to understand so I had to be focused.

"Teacher, I will go and do some missions"

"I understand go then"

It will also be a good thing for me because I will have a chance to measure my vampiric powers.

After the lesson, I went to the mission department.

The whole place was a building that was an extension.

When I arrived at the place there were around 21 people which were different sigh from the others.

In the inside, there was a wall with board and on it were papers on it they were missions that you could choose to do alone or you could do them in groups that's why people usually waited for someone to do this together because it would be less dangerous and they didn't want to risk their lives.

There were also simple tables without anything magnificent and luxurious.

When people heard someone new coming they were excited and started to come closer to the entranced but after seeing who it was they changed their mind but there still was someone who didn't

The person started to go towards the Drake Van Hyden.

It was a young girl around 16 years old with brown hair and red dress, after stopping in front me she said:

"Would you like to join our group and do a mission?"

"No, thank you" I declined and walked past her towards the wall.

She caught up to me and started talking again

"Please join our team there's one place that needs to be filled!"

"I DON"T CARE!, I want to do mission's alone I won't do some weak ass missions for beginners you thing who AM I, I won't lower myself to your level for your benefits"

When everyone in her group heard this they were enraged and their eyes were red.

Others were pitying her because she was quite charming and attractive looking, and the rest who were going to invite him also decided to quit.

"Now, let's see what we have on the board"

Everyone looked at me with eyes but they knew that if they attacked one of the members of the school inside then they would be punished and expelled but if they did this nice and clean without anyone knowing they wouldn't be in any trouble at all.

On the board, there were rankings based on the levels of the mage, to check my fighting abilities

I need to find an opponent that is equal in my strength and make sure that I won't die.

On the board, there were Stage 13 and higher Orders.

When others were talking to each other I picked mission for Stage One Magus and it wasn't that shameful because I was alone and they were in groups. One the Paper That I picked was written for that it was for a group of stage one magi but I still picked it. The name of the mission was "Kill the Gryph"

Description fo the mission:

The Gryph started attacking a village named "Cliffsummer" the Gryph didn't attack the village but it is hunting around it and it scares all the merchants and other people, some people left to another place to continue there living and if this circumstance remains the same then this place is doomed.

After killing the creature you need to take its head with you and then complete the paperwork while showing the head.

The location of the community was to the north-east for around 74 kilometres from the capital

I went towards the counter, there was a woman with a list.

Then I gave her the mission. She looked at me and said :

"Are you sure you can make the mission done?"

"I am sure"

"What's your name?"

"Drake Van Hyden"

"Ok, are you kidding me now you are a new student in the school why would you take a mission like this?"

"No risk, no fun." then I continued

"I am a Stage one Magus and I believe in my abilities do you have any more questions I just expect you won't make it hard for me"

She started writing my name and also the missions.

I turned around and started leaving.

Then she whispered:

"I hope you won't make it in one piece"

I heard it and said:

"Yeah and I hope you will be eaten by dogs"

The woman's eyes turned red and didn't say anything.

I calmly left and left the academy.

I went towards the weapons shop. On the outside, it had an image with an anvil with a hammer.

The shop had its own display on both sides of the door and there were Swords, Spears, Axes on were huge as a door and others were small. The shop looked really good and the products looked like premium ones.

I opened the door and there was a muscular man around 27 years or older. He looked really strong his size was of a bear but there wasn't any fat.

When the man saw me he smiled and he greeted:

"Hello, what can I help you with?"

"I would like to buy a spear that is sharp and have strong penetrative abilities, I would like to also buy something that can shot big creatures that can fly."

The man started thinking and remained that for a second.

"The first request isn't a problem but the second I have something that can help but its expensive and I don't know if you can afford to buy this and also it's really heavy."

"I am a magus of that is from the academy and I am from the Lightning department"

I took out the signet and show it to him.

The man nodded and I added

"What is this weapon?"

"I call it "The Last Whisper" and it's a really big and heavy crossbow and the string is made from beast's hair that is really durable"

"What do you say if I can rent the crossbow and spear?"

"I don't mind, but you need to tell me your name and pay first. The price is 250."

"Alright, also I pay with card"

The transaction was done, and the seller said:

"Come let's see the crossbow"

The man went to the back and I followed, then we went downstairs and there were lying weapons in barrels or just were leaning against the walls.

We turned right and we entered a room inside was a table and a bow, it was soo large that was covering all the table it was around 1,6 meter in width It looked really dominating and I could feel that if it was shot at bear it would penetrate it without anything stopping the arrow.

The weapon was illuminated by light from the windows close to the walls they were of course secured so that thieves couldn't steal any of these.

There was also an arrow that was a really large arrow.

After seeing it I grabbed it and it was light then I looked at the blacksmith and said:

"The arrow is great but can you add a rope to the end?"

"Sure it's not a problem I can make it in an hour can you wait for that much ?"

"Not a problem"

"You can sit in the shop I go and do the work and will come to you when I will end"

The hammerman changed the card on the doors to "close" and left.
