"Well this is convenient" Caleb thought seeing the effectiveness of the skill Cleaning water
Soon Caleb arrive back at the kingdom and after the fighting and traveling all day it has already became dark so Caleb decides to go back to the inn
After a few minutes of walking to the inn Caleb arrives but at the moment he opens the door to their room, a fireball came flying to him and luckily he is able to block it in time and not letting the fire spread
"What are you doing?!" Caleb shouts and looks at a red wolf beside Alice
"What is that?" Caleb asks
"It's my new summon since my skill is now level 2, it's a scorch wolf" Alice said nervously that Caleb might be furious from the fact that the summon almost made the inn burn
"Take out the summon right now, the inn is made of wood so a single fire can easily burn this" Caleb said and Alice immediately hides the wolf into his skill
Caleb then looks into Alice as if he is gonna tell something important to her when suddenly there's knock on the door
"Guests since both of you are new here you might wanna try our main dish fried chicken with a special sauce on top" A lady said before leaving
"I was about to ask you if you want any food but it seems there is already a cook in here so let's try it out" Caleb said and Alice nods
They then starts to walk into the main eating place of the inn and in there a long line of people is ordering foods and Caleb and Alice seeing this they decides to wait before ordering but to their dismay it took them an hour just for all of the people to order
"I guess we should have got into the line before as even people not from the inn ordered" Caleb said after witnessing all the people ordering
"Then let's not waste any more time as im already so hungry" Alice said and starting to order
Caleb then orders too and both of them decides to try the dish that the lady said before and the one getting their order smiles hearing the orders
"Im sure both of you will like this as this originates from one of the great era" She said
Soon two plate with a chicken in each of it is serve to them and the sauce they was told just looks like the average gravy
"If i have known that the sauce will be a gravy i would have just got back and bought one without using the money used here" Caleb thought in disbelief but he didn't show any reaction outside
Soon they sits at a empty spot and starts to eat the food, both Alice and Caleb then takes a bite and immediately after Alice realizes something to it
"It taste worse than the gravy from our world" Alice thought but still eats the food since she doesn't want for them to spend more money for food
Soon the two finishes eating and immediately after, they goes back to their room and sleep for the night.
The next day Caleb wakes up early to take another mission but this time he decides to take a C-rank mission shocking Elizabeth
"Already taking a C-rank mission when you have only take a single D-rank mission? I hope you will team up with someone so you can be more safe" Elizabeth said making Caleb think if he should really team up to someone
While Caleb is thinking, a man in brown robe and in his hand a staff enveloped by a ball of fire approaches him
"Hello, since you are gonna take a C-rank mission may i join you?" He said
Caleb hearing the words of the man he immediately takes the opportunity and accepts him
"Sure after all it will be a very dangerous way of fighting when alone" Caleb said to not make himself stand out more
"Here this will suit the both of you best Elizabeth said and handing a mission for a subjugation of a monster named Great basilisk
Soon they left the guild and Elizabeth thought about the person Caleb had team up with
"The A-rank adventurer Sith has already got his attention to Caleb. Looks like that Player will not have a peaceful journey" She thought with worry in her mind
Meanwhile in the streets, Caleb and the man in robe is walking silently when out of nowhere Caleb decides to speak
"Thank you for you teaming up with me but what is your name" Caleb asks
"Sith and i also need to do this mission anyway so it's just beneficial for the both of us" he said and after that the silence continues
Soon they arrive at the place where the Great basilisk was last seen, a rocky area with sharp spikes scattered around is the place that they see
"How can this be so close while the plateau and the plains are so far apart" Caleb thought curiously
They then starts to look around for the Great basilisk and after an hour of searching they finally found a Great basilisk
A Great basilisk with red crimson eyes and stone as its scales looks into them and sensing the danger the monster rushes towards them and spitting acid to them
Sith seeing the incoming attack he immediately uses a magic barrier to block the acid coming to them
Caleb then uses his skill holy blast and it came flying towards the monster hitting it that resulted into its stone scales to break
Sith then uses a magic that turns into a flame shaped like a dragon that easily hits the Great basilisk
Calen seeing the magic used by Sith, he immediately realizes that Sith isn't some C-rank adventurer and thought that he's at least B-rank
"I never thought i would team up with someone this strong so early" Caleb thought and sweating from the power displayed by Sith
"The Great basilisk is now defeated, let's go back now as it's better to take more mission while we can" Sith said and soon they starts to walk back to the kingdom
While walking Caleb thought about the power of the magic before and from his curiousness he decides to question Sith
"Sith what is your rank? The magic before literally defeated the basilisk in an instant so you couldn't be someone C-rank or below" Caleb said and Sith keep walking not sayinb anything to the question and Caleb thought that he should just not ask about it
A few more moments of awkward silence pass by and Sith finally decides to answer his question
"My rank is A-rank"
"You're A-rank?! Then why did you team up with me when you are already that high rank?" Caleb asks but this time Sith didn't answer anymore and the silence continues until they reach the kingdom
