The academy had coin like tokens where missions could be imprinted on and delivered to students willing to undertake it. It might seem a little too much, but Alex had five such tokens on his table and as he made his way outside the tower and towards the transport area, he began to go over the missions that have been given to him.
Of the five mission, two of them required him to hunt down a particular kind of demonic beast and retrieve it's core, the third actually wanted him to wipe out a nest of demonic arachnids, massive spiders with a rather for human flesh. Then the final two were actually collection missions, where he had to find a particular kind of plant and a moss. Of all the missions, the lowest paying one was the Moss collection mission, and that alone was worth 10 thousand good, which was a lot of money.
