My Jaw hit the floor.
The moment I saw the details of the second quest. My shock had reached up to the sky.
Nay, it reached up to space.
... how could it not have when the reward was a seven-star weapon art AND a guidebook to the type of magic that humanity did not know about.
*Slap*
I slapped myself, just to confirm if I wasn't dreaming of anything. Seeing the screens still in front of me. I slapped myself again.
*Slap*
"Okay, they're real.*
I said with red cheeks.
Taking huge breaths to compose myself, I started thinking about these Godsen-no dragon-sent quests.
About the one that the Supreme dragon of Ice Lanesha gave me, I was clueless.
Although I did not want to get involved with the Wellingtons.If the reward was a fucking seven-star mana training technique.
I'd honestly happily lick their boots if I got the technique.
But, both quests specified no time limit. I was completely clueless about the first one. But sort of had an idea about the quest given to me by the Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras.
That should have a time limit or not. I could deduce that it was a year since the Academy began and before it began Elijah like everyone else took the entrance tests and completely dominated it. Although my admission was secured through my contract and twilights influence. I still needed to take the entrance exams so they could gauge my strength and give me a rank. To obtain the first rank I needed to dominate the tests.
Well, it wouldn't be too hard because my stats were already higher than Elijah's stats at the beginning of the novel if my memory serves me correctly.
But the problem was did I have to attain the first rank at the start?
There were rank tests held every half a year to ensure that students weren't slacking off because of their high ranks.
If I pummeled Elijah in the half-a-year rank tests, technically I could still complete the quest.
But did I want to risk not achieving the first rank at the start and risk failing the quest?
Fuck no. The reward was a seven-star weapon art and a guide to space magic. There was no way In hell I was risking that.
No
way
So I needed to attain the first rank in shields entrance exams at all costs.
And for that, I needed to train like hell.
Although my memory told me I could beat the Beginning of the story Elijah with my current stats.
My memory was also unreliable.
So I was not taking any chance, Especially when the reward was so great.
Thinking about it now. My schedule has got a lot of stuff in it now. I should be fine having all of my focus on training this year and relaxing in the next. The demon king only showed when all the protagonists were 25 years old. I had a heck of a lot of time.
Nobody would fault me for taking a rest.... right?
I just stopped thinking about it. I was already tired as hell before the quests. Although I had a slight adrenaline rush when they appeared it was long gone and I was already feeling drowsy.
So I closed my eyes praying that I don't have visions of 'that' scene again.
And it seems God listened.
Because I quickly fell asleep without having those visions again.
(Authors note:I'm referring to the choking a little girl incident by 'that'.)
****
9:07 AM.
*tring**tring*
I was stirred awake by the constant ringing of my phone.
Picking it up answered lazily.
".. who is it? "
[Sir Alan, I'm your assistant from Twilight and have come to pick you up. I am outside the Orphanage gate, sir]
"Oh, please wait a few minutes, I'm coming. "
[Yes sir]
Finally, It was time to get out of this place.
I woke Samantha up and told her.
"Samantha, wake up, we're going to a new home!"
"... huh? "
She opened her eyes with a puzzled look. Confused by what I had just said.
Paying her no need I picked her up and put her in her wheelchair.
".. Hey! "
She yelled, totally because I just picked her up quickly without informing her.
"What is wrong with you??"
She asked, and I replied to her.
"Nothing, just excited because we're moving to a new home."
Looking at me she asked me again with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Did we get adopted? "
"Kind of.. "
I replied to her question, Picking up the school bag. I opened the door of the room and went out. Just when we reaches the stairs I thought.
Wait, how the hell does she go down, she couldn't go down the stairs in a wheelchair.
So in a hurry, I carried her again and her wheelchair and just went down the stairs with her in my left arm and the wheelchair in my right.
It was pretty easy, to be honest. With my strength stat, I could probably lift a Boulder without difficulty.
Reaching the bottom floor I put her back into her wheelchair and began walking to the orphanage gate. Reaching the lobby. I saw Miss Penny conversing with a gentleman with a face that screamed love at first sight.
Wait.. that gentleman looks familiar.
And he was familiar. The 'Gentleman' was Richard Thompson, Guild master of the twilight guild.
Seeing him I was confused.
'Why is the guild master here???? '
Then he noticed me and conversed with miss Penny for a few more minutes and then walked over to me.
"Hey."
He said nonchalantly, completely acting unaware of his social status to come here to pick up a newbie guild member of his guild.
".. why are you here? "
I asked him, still doubting my eyes at his beautiful face.
That face does not belong to a man. Not.
"I'll give you the answer in the car. Hurry up. "
I just followed him and we soon entered a car that looked to be like a black sedan. Just without wheels and a much more beautiful frame.
(Authors note:every vehicle that I mention here is a hover vehicle, the types that don't have wheel and hover over the surface of the ground.)
I opened the back door and first put Samantha inside. Who was just staring at the Guild master with a red face? Seeing her I thought.
'Did this motherfucker just steal my sister in front of me?! '
I did not yell those words out, if I did I probably would have been dead.
Placing the bag and wheelchair in the back of the car I entered the car. And soon began to listen to the guild master's Explanation while the assistant drove.
"Now to answer your question about why I'm here and not just Billy, Who will be your assistant from now on. Is because of your safety. Your talent is incredible and your affinity is mind-blowing which means you are a target. A pretty big target. Although the Human guilds won't do anything, we can't be too sure. plus now your are officially a member of twilight. They will do anything to weaken us so I had to come for your protection. Besides humans aren't the only ones we have to worry about. The Demons will do anything to kill you as by killing you they can weaken humanity as a whole. They can remove humanity's first spatial ranked mage and an SS-ranked talent by killing you all at once. This is why I am here to ensure your safety."He explained to me
Hearing his explanation it sort of made sense, As I was thinking he spoke again.
"Oh and about your sister, First of all, my apologies, I can give you a high-rank potion to cure her and have also solved the matter of her education. It's up to you to decide whether she takes private education at the guild or another school nearby. I recommend y-
" At the guild, provide her with education at the guild"
I answered immediately, If I was this big of a target, My sister would also be pretty big because the demons could get to me through her.
It was better for her to have all her matters solved at the guild. Which had hundreds of Awakened inside to protect her anytime an attack had occurred.
It was much better.
"Good Choice. "
Richard said, not being bothered about me interrupting him at all.
"Besides there's also another matter of extreme importance that I need to talk to you about. We will discuss it in private. "
He said and I nodded my head. Then I looked outside the window of the car and began admiring the city.
Pretty soon we arrived in front of a building that was probably as tall as the Burj Khalifa back in my world. The building was also pretty close to the Twilight guild headquarters.
Unloading Samantha and the stuff we had. I followed Richard to the elevator while pushing Samantha's wheelchair. Ben had disappeared with the car.
Entering the elevator, He pushed a button and we were soon going up.
The door opened and we walked out. He kept walking toward the right side and I just followed behind him.
We soon stopped in front of a large door. He took out some keys and opened the door and handed the keys to me saying.
"This is your Apartment from now on. "
That was a lie, this was not an apartment.
It was a damn Suite.
