Chapter 05: First Quest

Master Makarov, I'm going on my first quest. Give me your blessing, I'll come back victorious.

Arctu-brat, you are more than capable. I've seen you fight older mages and win so you better come back safe. Also, I need you to help me with my paperwork so be careful.

"Bye, master… Oof!"

He walks straight into a white-haired, red eyed, young girl.

"Arctu-kun, you have to watch where you are going, other girls aren't as forgiving as me. Wait, are you leaving for your first quest?"

"Sorry for that Mira-Chan, I was too preoccupied and Yes, Mira- chan! Also before you tell, don't worry about me, I'll be back as fast as I possibly can and I'll bring you some of those white chocolate orchids that you like."

You are so sweet! But Arctu-kun...Don't bring anything for that Scarlet Slut, she doesn't deserve your kindness.

Mira-chan, Erza-kun is a nice girl too who deserves chocolates, no? I'll have to get her some strawberry bouffants…

Erza overhears the conversation and runs over to him.

"Arctu-kun, you are leaving for your first quest? Take care, eat well and don't get hurt. I'll wait for you."

"You are very kind to me Erza-chan, I'll get you some of that Strawberry Bouffants I bought you last time?"

"Arctu-kun, you don't have to get me anything. Also, The succubus is trying to corrupt you and tries to take advantage of your affection. Don't get the Devil bitch anything."

This makes the eldest Strauss sister extremely upset and she pounces on Erza.

"Why you, bloody witch!"

(Catfight ensues)

As he is about to exit the guildhall, he sees Cana playing with her Card Magic at a dingy corner table and he approaches her.

"Cana-chan, I'm leaving for my quest. You be careful, alright? Don't gamble with Jet, don't allow Troy to feed you Alcohol, keep near our nakamas and don't wander too far away from the Guildhall, alright?"

"Take care, Arctu-kun. I'll be waiting, right here for you."

Now, having laid the roguish charm quite heavily on the girls who will grow into buxom beauties, he leaves the guildhall. These things need to be said, I need to ensure a Harem after all and that can't be done by acting like Natsu. After crossing the border of Magnolia, He uses some transformative Magic to mask and disguise his appearance and begin to fly fast in the direction of the quest location.

A common kill quest, some idiot tried to breed some Ligers for his circus and they evaded capture and fled into the woods. The contract is from the town's folk and he negotiated that the slain Ligers would be his. They were reluctant as the pelt was valuable but he insisted as their reward was quite low for killing a bunch of manhunters.

He entered the area where they were last sighted to track them down. It wasn't very hard with the magical tools on hand.

A sudden "GRAAAARWR", shook him well out of the lazy stupor he was currently in. He is now on high alert as he notices a pride of Ligers growling away to protect their newly acquired territory and their to be wooed mates.

Without wasting any time, he jets off in their general direction and uses his technique.

"Gravity Style: Riot Stamp"

A Coating of Gravity Magic Oozes in a viscous layer, bonding with his skin and turning it a shiny, black colour, not dissimilar to Haki of One Piece. A Limb attack, at high speed, enhanced with Gravity tremendously increases the brute force, and viciously knocks out the Ligers in quick succession as he dances around, knocking them out with his martial prowess spilling viscera everywhere. The hunt continued only for the shortest time as the female Ligers were soon found and slaughtered for their pelts and bones. He immediately stores them in the storage pouch he had created with runic Magic. Tremendously useful but temporary, it would last until he gets back to the guild.

He immediately carries the Ligers back to the town to show the mayor, who agrees the quest has been completed and hands him his reward.

Objective Completed: Liger Hunt

Reward: +1 to Str and Dex

He decided that he has spent enough time in this town, so he quickly purchases a few flowers and chocolates for the ladies, the men like their porn and their booze but I can't purchase either so it sucks to be them.
