"There are so many missions and most of them need physical work. Mages really are lazy to this mundane works and prefer to focus on their research."

"Based on my current capability only three missions I can do: Cleaning, Copy manuscript and Calculation task. But cleaning has a risk and pays so little. If I broke any equipment, I might need to compensate more than what I received"

"Copying manuscript and calculation are easy for me. I might able looks into rare information when copying manuscript and also have access for higher equations during calculation. These two benefits me a lot. Let take these two missions."

Max proceeds to mission counters and asks for those two missions.

"Hmm? A rank 1 apprentice? You can only take one mission at a time." The clerk at the counter told. Based on SECOND's scanning, he is rank 2 apprentices. To be able to work at a clerk at the mission hall must pay a lot. To be able to get the mission need the connection from inside.

"I will take the calculation task only," Max said.

The clerk took out a scroll and hand it over to Max. "This is the mission scroll. Show this to Senior Nulara for proving you taking this mission. You can take the reward directly from her. I give you warning; if you can't handle the mission don't take it. You will be barred from taking the mission for six months if you failed three mission in a row or five missions in a year."

"I understand," Max said again. He took the scroll and read it carefully. Written inside is the detail of the mission and where to find Nulara.

This particular Rank 3 Mage Apprentice stay at her room this whole week to learn a new spell. Max now strode forward to her room.

"Please let no more succubus. I am fine with an ugly old lady for now" Max sincerely hope but he doesn't know that the academy only allowed Mage Apprentices under 40 to stay. Those who over the age still haven't promote to Mage all be expelled or be contracted to serve the tower as servants.

These servants cannot wear the same indigo robes like others and do not live in the dormitory. They live in Dawn City.

Max currently walking to dormitory area for the apprentice.

Max found Nulara's room in no time and knocked her door thrice.

The door opened and Max surprised to see who open the door.

Her face is beautiful with big brown eyes and silky brown hair. Her bunny is as big as melon but her muscle also as big! What welcomed Max is more than a two-meter tall muscular woman!

"Huh? Who are you? " Her bell-like voice doesn't fit her size.

Max woke up from his surprise and slowly answer: "My name is Max. I'm here regarding the mission you posted. To calculate equations.'

"You? Can you do it? Your seems like rank 1 apprentice ." Nulara doesn't believe.

"Can you give a chance? I show you I can do it? "Max begged. How can Max the opportunity to earn easy magic crystals go?

"Okay! Come in" Nulara guide Max to her room. Despite being a "woman's" room, it bland. There are only a big bed, a chair, and a desk. On the desk there are many books, scrolls and paper scattered.

Nulara took one of the paper from her desk and passed it to Max. "Solve it and I trust you"

Max take a look at the paper: 'SECOND! Solve'

With SECOND's help, Max solved it in a minute.

Nulara surprised, " You really can do it! Good!"

She takes a green leather scroll on the desk and hands it to Max. "This is the spell summary. Note down all the equations required for the rune"

Mage Apprentice needs to buy spell model from the academy to learn the spell and he or she cannot show it to others. The death sentence will be given if found guilty. So Nulara only passes the summary she made to Max. All the core point is not there.

"How long you need? "

'SECOND? '

[Estimated time six hours]

"I try to give you tomorrow " Max answered. He deliberately extends time to avoid suspicion.

"That fast? I see you tomorrow then".

Max leaves Nulara's room after that.
