Chapter 145 First Mission

Just as Chloe expected, there were only mundane missions remaining when the number of people inside the Mission Hall finally decreased.

There were even missions for finding lost animals like dogs and cats, which made Ethan scratch his head.

According to Chloe, the missions posted in the Mission Hall were quests that were commissioned by the people in Eastshire. Meaning, these missions could have come from Royalty, Noble Families, and even the common folk who lived in the Magical World.

There were also Special Missions that came from Northshire, Westshire, and Southshire, and their rewards were just as good as the rewards given by the Royal Family and Nobles.

These missions were called International Quests, which were available to any academy, or race, within the Shire Continent.

There were also Special Quests that were issued by other Magical Academies as well.

Although these quests were rare, they were one of the most sought-after quests in the Mission Hall.

Oftentimes, these quests were sent out because they required certain specialties that only the other races like the Elves, Dwarves, and Beastkins could do.

An example of these Special Quests would be to explore a newly discovered Legacy Gate, stop a Beast Tide, or close a Corrupted Gate that released countless horrors into the Shire Continent.

While the Young Lady was busy picking the best mundane quest available, Ethan busied himself with observing the crowd around him.

He could see Wizards and Witches with excited, anxious, calm, and even sad faces.

The Mission Hall was also divided into different Years. There was a separate Mission Hall for the Second Years, Third Years, and Fourth Years.

Because of this arrangement, complete pandemonium was averted, especially during this time of year when everyone wanted to challenge a mission solo or with a team.

“Well, have you found a mission?” Ethan asked his cousin who had a resigned look on her face.

“Yeah… we are going to look for a lost cat,” Chloe replied.

“Very exciting mission you got there.”

“I know, right?”

Ethan chuckled before holding Chloe’s hand.

“Let’s finish this mission as fast as possible,” Ethan stated. “Where should we look for the cat?”

“The place we will go is called Crawford Town,” Chloe answered. “It\'s half a day of travel by broom, and two days to travel by carriage. The reward is 100 Gold Coins and 5,000 Merit Points.

“It seems that the Cat belonged to the daughter of a Baron. This is the best mission available. If I had been slower by a second, someone else might have already taken this from the Mission Board. So, how do you want to do this? Flying broom or Carriage?”

Ethan pondered a bit before telling Chloe that it would be better if they traveled on her flying broom.

Since the broom could carry up to two people, it was only natural to choose the fastest mode of transportation.

His own flying broom was still undergoing some tweaking, at least, that was according to the letter that was sent to him by Mr. Carwell, who was making the final adjustments to the Wind Dancer.

The broom that Duds could use to fly.

Half an hour later, Chloe’s Flying Broom rose up from the academy and headed South. The two had only traveled for a mile when they saw two ravens flying alongside them.

One of them was a White Raven, and the other one was Black.

They were none other than Dantalion, who belonged to Ethan, and Nightshade, who belonged to Chloe.

‘Are you coming with us on this mission?’ Ethan asked his Spiritual Guide through the connection they shared.

‘Yes,’ Dantalion replied.

‘I guess this is better than doing nothing.’

‘Indeed.’

Just like him, Chloe had turned silent. However, he was quite certain that she was also talking to her own Raven as it flew beside them.

Two hours into their journey, the two ravens flew close to them and made a low shriek.

The young lady frowned as she navigated her broomstick to fly lower until they were flying just a few meters above the forest floor.

A few minutes later, a giant shadow passed over their heads, causing the faces of the two teenagers to turn pale.

They weren’t able to see what kind of creature it was due to how fast it was moving.

But one thing was clear.

If their Guides hadn’t warned them in time, they might have ended as an early lunch to whatever Monster just flew past their heads, making them very grateful to the two ravens by their side.

‘Do you guys often encounter magical creatures like that when you deliver letters?’ Ethan inquired.

‘Not often,’ Dantalion replied. ‘We always encounter them.’

Beads of sweat started to form on Ethan’s forehead when he imagined himself flying in the sky with his flying broom, and meeting a wild Griffon, Wyvern, or a Dragon.

‘Dantalion, when I fly with my own flying broom for the first time, guide me, okay?’

‘Of course.’

After receiving his raven’s assurance, the young man was able to breathe easier knowing that he was in good hands.

A few hours later, they arrived at their destination. But since they didn’t want to create a scene, they landed on the road not far from the town and walked toward its gates.

When the guards saw them wearing the uniform of Brynhildr Academy, they didn’t say anything and allowed them to pass without paying the toll fee.

“Where do you think is the best place to look for this cat?” Ethan asked. “Should we look for it separately?”

Chloe thought for a bit before nodding her head.

Since Crawford Town was near the academy, it was relatively safe. Also, the two of them were magicians and had the means to defend themselves.

“Wait, before we separate, come with me first,” Chloe said as she dragged Ethan to an alley. “I can protect myself with magic, but you don’t have that ability. S-So, I need to give you some of my magic to ensure that you’ll be safe.”

Ethan, who immediately understood what Chloe was thinking, couldn’t help but feel his cheeks burning.

The young lady wasn’t faring any better either, and the tips of her ears were already red.

A few minutes later, in an alley in Crawford Town, the two of them exchanged a kiss, allowing the handsome young man to have a means of using magic, in order to help them complete their First Mission faster.
