The staff at the adventurers' guild marked their mission as complete with a stamp of approval. As the paperwork was finalized, the discussion quickly shifted to the topic of rewards. Originally, the reward for the mission was set to include six Level One Ki Techniques of the wind element.

The staff member behind the desk raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "You did well, that's true. But the reward was agreed upon when you accepted the mission. We can't just change terms on a whim," he replied smoothly, his demeanor cool and collected.
