Chapter 65 - 6th volume prologue

Katrina stood in front of the notice board. After all the fame she had experienced, she craved one more impossible task, but the most challenging one of all was hunting down a gang of orcs.

"Is there really nothing more interesting? I thought our country had more problems," Katrina scowled as she studied the board. "Oh, no-no-no, it's not right to think that way. This is my country too. It doesn't have any problems; some people just encounter misfortunes, and we rush to their aid."

Engaging in a conversation with herself, Katrina looked quite peculiar, and the teacher hesitated to approach her for a long while.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but we're temporarily closing the notice board."

"What?? But how can you do that when I haven't chosen a task yet?"

"Oh, don't worry; in any case, task assignments will be suspended in the next month."

"What? Are you kidding? My guild urgently needs money, and you even forbid this."

"But the treasure hunt is about to begin. Isn't it the most anticipated event for young guilds?"

"A treasure hunt?" A glimmer of thought illuminated Katrina's face. "What could that mean?"

The bell from the clock tower rang. Noon marked the beginning of the "Treasure Hunt."

"Alright, excuse me, but we're closing up."

"Whaaat? What on earth is going on? Damn it!"
