Chapter 5 - First Mission

(Reader's pov)

That night was the first night I slept well. For the first time, I woke up feeling good and rested, but it didn't last long because, after I took a shower and get dressed, a girl entered in my room with two other girls behind.

"Hi. You must be (Y/N). I'm Beatrice and they are my friends: Roxanne and Debbie. We are your neighbors." she said while looking at me with a weird smile.

"Hi.... Nice to meet you. I know that I don't have a good reputation but if we get to know each other, maybe we will become friends..."

"Hahahahaha... Hahahaha!!"they laughed mockingly at me."We... become friends? Hell NO!!! You're just a shame for your familly and for this kingdom. Why do we even bother to be friends with you? Do you think you're special just because you the Wizard King? It's obvious that he felt sorry for you because, since you were born, you don't deserve attention... "

At that moment, I opened my grimoire and took out my sword."I'm not affraid of you. Prove that what you said is true fighting with me!" I said clenching my teeth.

She was about to do something, when an another person entered in my room, he was Nozel.

"(Y/N), what are you doing?! It's your first day and you already feel so confident to challenge someone in a fight? How foolish!"

"Yeah, (Y/N)! How foolish!!" Beatrice said with a smirk on her face. "Anyway, Nozy, why are you here?"

"I told you to not calling me that! I came to take (Y/N) to the dinning room. It's captain's order."

"Ok, Nozy. See ya later!" she said and then they left.

"Come! Don't make me wait!" Nozel said without looking at me.

"Yes!" I said and followed him. On the way at the dinning room, I asked Nozel if he could tell me more about that girls.

"They are the three sisters of the house Misako. Their father is a nobleman who is a very good friend with my father." he said with a sigh. He seemed to be sad after saying that, so I decided to change the subject.

"Anyway, what's your magic attribute? Mine is light."

"We don't have time for useless speech." he replied with a serious tone.

After a couple of minutes of silence, we arrived at the dinning room. We ate the breakfast and went to the captain's office to be sent in our first mission.

I was soo excited. It could de anything: catching bandits, inspecting the black market, exploring a dungeon...

"Your first mission will be... patrolling the capital."

Patrolling the capital... How disappointing! I thought that my first mission will be something awesome including a battle or a mystery. At least, I will do it with Nozel.

We arrived at the capital and starting walking around.

"So.... In patrolling the capital... It happens sometimes to catch a thief or to end a fight?"

"I don't know. It's my first mission too." he said looking around.

I was about to say something, when I saw an old lady screaming.

"HELP, HELP!" she said while approaching to us. "Magic knights, please help me! A thief stole my handbag!" she said while pointing at a man who ran with her handbag.

"Light magic:Shiny boots" I said and the light boots appeared. With them, I catched the thief and took the hand bag from him. I was about give her the bag, then I felt a sharp pain in my left leg. I dropped the bag, and the thief took it back and wanted to run away, but Nozel catched him with a strange fluid magic, it wasn't water, but neither steel.

"Are you okay?" he said looking at me and my injured leg. Suddenly, I didn't felt the pain anymore. I looked at my leg  and it was ok, like nothing happened to him.

"You healed yourself without casting a spell. How you did that?" Nozel said while trying to get me up on my legs.

"I don't know. It never happened to me before." I said while trying to walk.

After we took the thief to the Magic Knights Headquarters, we went to the Silver Eagles to report.

"Good job, you two! The Wizard King saw your actions and gave us a star." the captain said holding a star.

"What is a star for?" I said confussed and then the captain explainde the role of stars for the magic knights.

After that, we ate dinner, and I was about to enter in my room until...

"You asked me what my magic attribute is, right?" Nozel said looking at me.

"Yeah..." I said turning around to see him.

"It's... Mercury magic." he said and left.

"Thanks! Good night!" I said and entered in my room.
