Tales of Magic Swordsman 94 Choosing Mission

Auron went inside to the tower. It was 6 a.m in the morning, but inside the tower, there already a lot of people running around. Most of them were the new student in Auron's batch. The mission tower had 10 floors. Each of the level corresponding to the difficulty of the mission available on that floor. The higher the floor, the higher the mission's difficulty which means the higher the risk and the rewards.

Of course, not all of the people could freely enter the designated floor. They needed to have rank in the military first to enter the floor. If one wanted to enter floor which was higher than his rank, they needed to have a written permission from their superior first before they could enter the floor.

The first floor was where the easiest mission could be taken. The number of the mission was huge. And the range of the mission could be from the simplest things like finding a missing item until catching local thief. Above that, the mission would be posted on the above floor.

At every floor, when one entered the floor, they would automatically saw a big black board in front of them. The board showing the ranking of military point every person had accumulated. This was done to stimulate other person to achieve higher and higher. Every month, the highest ranking person in the board would receive money and a piece of equipment. If they didn't want the equipment they could exchange it with money. Of course, they could change the military point for something else, but that still long way to go for Auron.

The academy wanted to make the school environment as similar as the real one. That was why, they conducting the practical period. Of course, the new student had separate board for themselves. The board was located at the first floor of the mission tower.

The enthusiastic student had already took the mission from dawn. They immediately took the mission and cleared it as soon as possible. Till now, there was already student that finished 3 missions. The first floor still crowded with the new student. However, not all of the student was in the first floor.

As Brock had said in the closing ceremony, Auron's batch was special, that was why the academy decided that the new student in Auron's batch could went up until the second floor. Of course, the mission in the second floor would be more difficult than the first floor. Most of the mission above the first floor had some battle element. Battling against the monster, or guarding merchant fleet from beast.

Auron walked to the front of the new student's ranking board. Almost 75% of the student already had points beside their names. While the rest had 0 point including Auron. When Auron was looking at the ranking board, suddenly, someone tap Auron's shoulder. Auron turned around and looked back behind him. It was actually Auron's roommate.

Auron could see that Black Bull really spent a lot. Before, Black Bull equipment similar to other class who use cloth armor. However, right now, Black Bull look very sturdy. The armor was very heavy and he looked like a solid swordsman with high defense. Black Bull even huge shield that could cover almost his entire body.

"Are you really fine wearing that armor?" Auron said to Black Bull since he could see that Black Bull's movement was somehow restricted.

"It's fine. I rather wearing something like this rather than dying" Black Bull answered.

"Okay then since you say so, let's search for the appropriate mission" Auron answered.

The four of them went to the clerk inside the first floor. The clerk's jobs was to help the student in choosing their mission. They also the one that giving the rewards when the player had finished the mission.

"Good morning, which mission would you like to take?" The clerk asked Auron's group.

"We would like to take a mission that suitable for a group of 4 students"

The clerk immediately filtered out the mission as what Auron had asked. However, there were still a lot of mission after the filter. After that, Auron stated several more condition to filter the mission more. After several filter, there were 3 mission left for them to choose mission 32, mission 57, or mission 128."

Auron and the groups looked at the filtered mission from the clerk. For mission 32, they needed to collect several item from the monster in the [Wind Valley]. The valley was pretty difficult for Auron's group. It was a hunting ground for level 75. What made it hard was the monster had wind element which means the monster was quicker than normal. Moreover, some monster could deflected arrow attack. Auron's group didn't even bothered to read the item they needed to collect, they directly looked the next mission.

Mission 57 needed them to kill several monster. The monster was located at the nearest city from Miderian, Grapen. It was a pretty big city, however compared to Miderian, it was still smaller. The mission targets was located at the vicinity of the city. It was actually a pretty good mission, but Auron's group decided to chose mission 128.

Mission 128 was a mission that needed Auron's group to guard a noble son who was still 5 years old. The son wanted to celebrate his birthday with his friends at the nearby lake from Miderian. They needed Auron's group to guard the birthday party and ensure everything was safe from the morning till evening.

The reason Auron chose this mission was because the location was close to the city and the rewards was huge. The mission reward 60 points which mean each of Auron's group would get 15 points. Usually, the first floor's mission only rewards averagely 8 points. The highest point one could get was 15 points but, they needed to spend around 3 days until 2 weeks to finish the mission.
