A System Quest

"Yes." ,Ethan replied without any hesitation.

Looking at the firm decision made by Ethan, Jake and others couldn't help but sigh.

Library!

This is the place which is supposed to be a temple of knowledge. This place was supposed to be the place where geniuses were supposed to gather.

But after the decline of the academy, the number of people visited the library decreased every year. As of now, because of lack of talented disciples, no one visited the library. And the library became a mythical place for the academy. Almost no one visited the library today.

Jake suggested, "Think it twice brother. I don't want to hide it from you as you will learn this sooner or later. Our academy has declined in producing quality disciples. So no one visits the library nowadays. You will be there only to clean the dust. And the contribution points you will gain won't be good either. Do you really want to do take this job?"

"Eh? But you were shouting back then by saying that our academy was one of the best in the world. And it will help us to sweep the entire heaven and earth!" ,Ethan said bluntly, "Were all those advertisements false?"

Jake and others vomited blood after hearing this. Both the guards gave a strange look at Jake. Their academy was in decline. So how could Jake shamelessly boast that their academy will help them to sweep the entire heaven? Just what kind of scheme did he use to trick only this fool Ethan but no other people?

"This..." ,Jake didn't know what exactly he should say. He said after taking his time, "Little brother, you are a matured man. You should understand the situation we are in. But in order to sweep the heaven, you need power. The strong power could be accumulated by firm basics. And our academy could help you with that."

The two guards and Jake's followers looked at Jake in complete speechless. This kind of answer wanted to make them bury themselves due to shame. In their opinion, Jake tried his best to fix the situation. But they were wondering whether Jake was aware or not that in the process he actually made situation even worse.

Ethan remained silent. All his life, he gave lame excuses for his disappointment life back on earth. He could be called the king of excuses. How could he not know that Jake was making that up out of nowhere?

He still said, "Well, it doesn't matter. You said that my talent in cultivation is not good. I will do my best. Whatever my achievements will be in my lifetime, I will accept it. After all, becoming a cultivator or chance to cultivate is a chance which won't come that easily for us. I am still happy that you people are taking me in despite my poor talent. I have no complaints."

Jake and others remained silent. They could tell that Ethan was saying everything from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't just bluffing. And because of this, their evaluation of his character has improved.

"Thanks for your understanding." ,Jake sighed and said. After that, he took out the goatskin paper in which Ethan's details were written by the guards.

After taking a look, Jake said, "Little brother, your room is at E-Block. Dormitory number is 96. Let us go there."

"Alright." ,Ethan said and prepared to go with them.

"Here is your Academy Uniform. Please remove those weird clothes and start wearing these from now on." ,One of the guards handed over the uniform of the academy to Ethan and said while giving weird look at Ethan's outfit.

Ethan was from earth. So when he transmigrated here from earth, his outfit didn't change. Currently, he is wearing jeans pant with red coloured T-Shirt.

As for the local cultivators, their dressing style was looking exactly similar to the one he saw all the cultivators wearing in Manga and Manhuas. It was idle for all the cultivators.

"Sure." ,Ethan replied and took his uniforms. There was a dress which looked similar to one which were being wore by Jake and others. And there was a token on top of that on which "Sacred Wind" was printed. This was an identification token of the academy which is the proof that he is the student of the Sacred Wind Academy.

Ethan finally entered the gates of the Sacred Wind Academy. As soon as he entered, he saw many tattered buildings. There were many cracks and fissures on the walls and walking platform. This definitely is not a look of the academy.

Ethan was stunned to see this. Looking at Ethan's stunned expression, Jake explained with sorrow on his face, "Our academy used to be the best in the entire sect. But around 200 years ago, some mysterious and powerful people came out of nowhere and attacked us. As for who they were, no one knew. If we know who they are. And what exactly is their motive, then things might have been different today."

Ethan remained silent. Because as soon as Jake completed speaking, a system notification popped out in his vision.

[A Major Quest Has Been Triggered]

[Quest Name : Mystery Of The Sacred Wind]

[Quest Rank : SSS]

[Description : 200 Years Ago, Sacred Wind Academy Was Attacked By A Group Of Powerful and mysterious people. There is more to the story than what you heard]

[Mission : Solve the entire mystery behind the attack on the Sacred Wind Academy]

[Quest Completion Rate : 0%]

Ethan was completely stunned. This was his first mission since he entered this world. First of all, he was surprised to see that the system is issuing the missions. Secondly, the first mission is actually a SSS rank one!?

In the game [Ascension], the difficulty of the quests is divided from F to VVV. And he received a SSS rank mission. Moreover, this is his first mission since he came here. So he was stunned.

But he knew that the reward for the SSS ranked mission won't be joke. He wanted to explore the quest. But he is yet to start his first ever cultivation program yet. So he decided to wait a bit.

'Let's take one step at a time. I will be sending myself to death if I were to take impulsive actions.'

Ethan Hunt came to this decision. He took a deep breath and followed Jake to his dormitory. On the way, Jake was trying his best to explain everything about the academy. Like routes to different important locations, rules of the academy, etc.

"Oh? If it isn't our great Jake!" ,At that time, they heard a voice from their backs.

Ethan raised his brows. This tone is something he got used to back on earth. This tone was filled with arrogance. Ethan was sure that whoever the speaker is, he had no good intentions towards Jake.
