"So Rose, I finally get to go out now to explore and have fun to see for myself the technologies you four talk about sometimes!"
"No! You get to go out to do missions for experience and merits, so you do not fall behind the other Sin candidates Nia."
"But Rose, I spent the last year training. I want to have some fun!"
"How about this, if you want to have some fun then if you complete your mission and come back then you can have some fun with Luna and me."
Nia cast a suspicious gaze at Rose, "What kind of fun because if you say the training kind I won't talk to either of you anymore."
Rose felt a bit panicked at that comment and quickly replied, "Let us hurry the girls are waiting for us ok?"
"Okay"
Rose and Nia arrived outside the mission hall where Luna, Erin, Freya, Cassandra, and Naomi were waiting around. Once they were all together they walked up to the main counter.
The woman behind the counter raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're here for your first mission?"
The three young girls were shocked and Cassandra was the one to answer, "Yes, If you don't mind me asking but what gave it away?"
The woman pointed to the girls wrists and said, "You don't have a holobrace on and you only get them when you come to take your first mission."
"What's a holobrace?"
"A holobrace is a device that every person has. It has many different functions for example it allows you to contact others from a distance or search the uninet, but in this case they are used for accepting missions. When you complete a mission you must come back here with the evidence that the mission was completed by you." The woman behind the counter pulled out a box filled with green, pink, and gold bracelets and handed them to the girls for their respective sins.
Nia's eye lit up brightly and equipped the holobrace with no hesitation. She turned it on and stared searching what functions it had.
After a few minutes of searching and organizing her thoughts, she took a note of what functions it had.

Naomi asked what the storage and shop functions were and the woman behind the counted patiently answered, "The shop function is where you spend your Merits to get a multitude of Items. The Inventory function allows you to store objects in your holobrace, also your inventories only hold 5 items that cannot be larger than 10 cubic feet. But if it is the same object then it can stack in the same item slot until 10 cubic feet are filled. If you want a better inventory then you can buy a better one in the shop"
After a few more questions they all left and went back to their room. Arriving in the room they all sat down at the common area and took a few more minutes checking out their holobraces.
"Do you girls know what mission you three will take?" Rose asked
"I think it would be best if they do their first mission by themselves to see where their strenght is at the moment." Freya said.
Erin and Luna both nodded their heads agreeing with Freya's words.
Nia clicked on [Mission List] then Solo and then holoscreen that appeared.

It took an hour to go through all the missions and they all noticed that the difficulties of them were separated into stars. 1 star difficulty was filled mortal rank F-S missions, 2 stars was Early Ascendant Rank, 3 stars is Middle Ascendant Rank, 4 stars is Late Ascendant Rank, 5 stars is the highest difficulty and it is Peak Ascendant Rank. One thing to take note of was that you could not take a mission below your Rank for example if you were a Middle Ascendant Rank then you could not take a 1 or 2 star mission but you could take a 4 or 5 star mission.
The beast hunt missions were self explanatory, you hunt down the beast and bring its body back to the mission hall. The Merits varied on difficulty. 1 star had a range of 1-50 Merits, 2 stars were 50-200 Merits, 3 stars were 200-500 Merits, 4 stars were 500-1,000 Merits, 5 stars were 1,000-2,000 Merits.
Assassination missions gave the most merits since you had to kill other people. The targets ranged from easy kills or a civilian to people that were in a position of power or had backers of some kind. 1 star missions had a Merit range of 50-150 Merits, 2 stars were 200-500, 3 stars were 500-1,000, 4 stars were 1,000-2,500 Merits, 5 stars were 2,500-5,000 Merits.
The Merits for profession missions varied with a range for each mission based on the quality of the work that was done so if you completed it and did a bad job you could get the minimum amount stated in the mission.
Nia quickly chose a mission while Rose and Luna were distracted with bringing food after looking through everything. She stood up and went to eat ready to do her mission.
