I carried Nea on my back and returned to the town. I brought her to the academy's clinic to get her some rest.
"Sister!" Rea screamed outside the clinic's doors before bursting it open.
"Kuya, is my sister okay?!" She exclaimed while tears were falling in her eyes.
"Yeah, she will be fine, she is just exhausted," I reassured her while patting her head.
Rea was crying out of worry then suddenly her hair started to change color from yellow to blue, and she starts emitting a strange aura. Her continuous crying gave refreshing effects in the room, my fatigue was going down while my MP is recovering. Is she a support type?
"Rea-"
*Ding*

Reward upon failure: Destruction of the town Bag-iw, Expansion of the goblin forest.
A main mission? Not a sudden special mission? So this means I'm already destined to fight them from the start? Never mind that the number of goblins looks like a massive army. I thought goblins have a set certain spawn number unless they have been gathering for a while now. Does the arrival of the-
"Kuya, why did you go silent?" Rea asked me while she is still sobbing.
She broke my train of thought and I let out a heavy sigh.
"Stay with your sister for a while, I need to go report to the guild."
I left the room in a hurry to report to the guild so I can change classes.
I entered the building in a rush and shouted, "Elaina!" Everyone inside the guild looked at me as I walk through the lobby towards the reception.
"Yes!" She screamed in shock.
I brought out the heads and proof of killing and handed it out to Elaina, "Please confirm the request immediately!" I am still panting from rushing from the academy to here.
"I don't know what's going on but I'll do my best to finish it quickly," she said with a determined face and held my hands.
The butterflies in my stomach are making the time slow. When will it finish...
*Ding*

WHAT? WHY ARE THERE ONLY THREE??
{System interaction has been fully unlocked. You can now ask anything within reason to the system}
"Hey, why do I only have 3 options?" I whispered to myself, I don't want to be seen as crazy at this point.

The only related class I could get right now is Ranger.
{Do you want to proceed with Ranger?}

{Class changed successfully! Congratulations you are now a Ranger.}
"Ras, are you okay? You seem to be all over the place today?" She leans forward and held my arms.
"Ah, yeah... I'm just ... tired, yeah," I reply to her.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Sure..."
While waiting in the lobby, I check out how easier I can gain the accuracy stat.
{Every Critical Hit increases accuracy by 0.01}
Better than 0.001 I guess.
I sit there twiddling my thumbs and thinking how I should proceed if I leave already and abandon the city or fight in the invasion.
"Here, tea," Elaina placed the cup on the table in front of me and left to go back to the reception.
I looked at her back as she walk away. I feel guilty knowing the danger alone and leaving these people behind. I'll talk to Ysletta about this.
I finished the cup of tea in one gulp and headed to the library. I open the doors and called her, "Ysletta, I have something to say"
"There's a goblin invasion tomorrow, is what you are planning to say, right?" She asked while she puff some smoke by the window.
"Yes, how did you know?"
"The mana in the goblin forest are moving as one, that's how."
"I see, then, how will you proceed with this..."
"I'm putting the request as of the moment, I'll just say that it is part of the mayor's event. Don't worry I've talked to the mayor about this and contacted the strong people in the town.."
"Okay, then I'll have my own training." Seems like she is preparing also, I need to prepare immediately too if I don't want to be a burden. I headed towards the door and before I left the room Ysletta called me.
"Wait, before you leave, I'll give you a present."
{Ysletta wants to teach you Pure Mana Mastery, do you accept?}
"Are you... giving me a skill?"
"You've reached level 20 right? I'm just amazed at how you have such concentrated mana in your body. Also, this is just the advance payment for helping us in the goblin invasion. I'll teach you something better if I make it out alive."
