The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 56: Mission (1)

Angele heard a beast-like roar coming from the room after he closed the door. He quickly left the place.

‘This happens once a day. The sequela is really terrifying,’ Angele thought as he shook his head.

***************

One month later…

Trading hall, underground.

The place was completely crowded. Most of the people were looking at the stone wall. The mission information was displayed on the wall, and the information pages looked like paintings. The pages were automatically changing as though it was a slideshow. Most of the people here were wearing gray robes. Only several of them were wearing black and white. No one stayed near the ones in black, but Angele could see people greeting the ones in white.

Some people were talking, while some were just staring at the mission information pages.

“Level 3 mission! Is that even possible!” a wizard apprentice yelled, and the hall became noisy.

“This one has the best reward?” someone asked.

“It’s level 3! Mary, shall we…?”

“The leader is Khedira…” Several other wizard apprentices were discussing.

Most of the people here were concerned about the leader. Even one of the male wizard apprentices in the corner also looked hesitant. Two wizard apprentices beside him started talking about Khedira.

“I can’t believe the leader is Master Khedira. He had a talent level of 4, and last year, he became a wizard. He’s one of the top wizard apprentices. How about joining the mission? The mission has no restrictions on the number of people and the reward is 50 magic stones per person,” one of them said.

“50 magic stones… The mission must be very difficult. It has no number limit, so it means the mission is most likely not for young wizard apprentices like us,” the other guy said as his expression changed.

Angele was carefully listening to their conversations from the sidelines. He was trying to take some suitable missions to earn enough magic stones for the potion. The missions had decent rewards. Angele had already finished 3 of the easier missions this month, earning him 30 magic stones. However, he almost died during one of the missions. The information page stated that the main purpose of that mission was to check on some dying trees around the school. Angele joined a 5-man group for it. Four of them got injured, while one of them died. The reward for the missions was good, but all of them were risky.

“50 magic stones…” Angele muttered. He couldn’t give up such a great opportunity to earn a decent amount of magic stones. Although he knew the mission was going to be dangerous, he thought he would do a good job at ranged attacks. Usually, a group protected the ranged attackers well. That was the reason why he survived the first several missions. Angele’s arrow became more powerful when enchanted with spells that could buff its damage.

‘I have Zero aiding me in the surveillance, and it can check a larger area than an average wizard apprentice could. I can easily escape a stage 3 wizard apprentice if he isn’t too close to me,’ Angele thought. He saw a young man in a black robe walking into the hall. The man had a handsome-looking face, but he had a cold expression on his face. He was about 1.8 meters tall, and in his hand was an even taller black staff.

“My name is Khedira. Guys, an unfortunate event just happened 10 minutes ago under the Achslach Mountain.” He lowered his head as he held his staff tightly. Angele could see his hands shaking from too much grip.

“My younger brother, Asan, a genius stage 3 wizard apprentice from our school, just got killed after he completed the mission,” he spoke in a very sorrowful tone.
