As I was scanning on the quest board, I was amazed on the mission that a higher rank adventurer can get compare to the boring mission a rank f like me can experience *pout*
Look! There is a mission for rank B about subjugating a sixth grade Black Viper then a rank C mission on killing hordes of trolls, and a rank A quest on subjugating groups of behemoth. Wow! Then I look at the mission for rank F; lists of herbs that need to get and or killing a horned rabbit with added warning that if you saw hordes of horned rabbit, you need to run or hide since subjugating hordes of horned rabbit are for rank D adventurer.
I clicked my tongue with the difference of the mission in each rank and then I look at my own small hands. If I wanted to have a rollercoaster-like adventure, I should make myself more powerful and stronger. Thinking about this makes my burning desire stronger
I was immersed in my own thoughts when someone bumps me, making me out balance and fall, kissing the cold, dirty floor.
Before I can get up, someone step on my back, making me kiss the floor again... then they laughed.
I am going red from humiliation and rage.
Who the hell he is for pushing and stepping on me?!
Someone crouch in front of me and grab my chin to look at him. It really hurt since someone was stepping in my back really hard then another one grabbing my chin forcing to look up. Do you know that I am not a gymnast to have a flexible body!
Darn! It hurts!
The one in front of me cheekily grinned at me, "kid, don't try to dream on taking a higher rank because you'll never be"
Before I can retort, he harshly throw my chin on the floor before he gets up and brush off any dirt in his hand and clothes.
F*ck! It was f*ckingly painful!
When the feet who was stepping on my back left, I breathe out then started to crawl up. It was not easy to stand since my whole body was aching but I still did with difficulty.
I wanted to stop them but before I can, someone cover my mouth, telling me not to say anything then someone stops those mean bully, it was also a group of party.
"What's this Casper? Bullying another newbie? And this time a child? Don't you have any shame in you?" A big, macho dark man with silver spikey hair said to the group of man that hurts me.
The man who was called Casper, laughs at him. "Shame? In this type of work, shame is not in my vocabulary. And besides, the handicap boy wanted to be an adventurer then let him pain to wake him up from his dream" he said in a very low and dangerous tone of voice. His face gone dark and his eyes was actually mixed with different emotions, there is angry, pain, sadness, and humiliation as well as killing intent.
The macho silver haird man step back when he saw Casper's look. "Not because he died, you'll bully every kid who also wanted to be an adventurer"
"What do you know?!" He shouted and then they actually started to fight since Casper brings out his sword and attack the macho man.
I don't know what their problem is but I got a bit of things that I found out. Casper was bullying the newbie especially the children since he died. I think the he was also a kid and died in a quest and make Casper bitter.
He was actually testing and warning me at the same time, he's actually nice if his approach was not horrible.
Their fight was only stop when Watermelon oneechan stops them. Wow. With just one flip both of them flew on the side and violently hit the wall leaving a crack.
Sugoi!
"You are inside the guild and no fight is allowed while your inside. If you wants to kill each other get out!" She yell in a very scary voice then she looks at me with a gentle face. Wow. She's fast in changing expression. "Little kid, take your time on looking for your mission" then she fiercely look around, "what are you looking at? Go back to your work" then she left.
Another WOW again!
"Are you okay?" The boy who looks around 13 or 14 with pink spikey hair, an open shirt and a scarf, and the one who covers my mouth earlier.
I nodded then brush my clother before I smile at him, "thank you"
He also smiled and brings out his right hand to have a shake hand with me, "I am Tucker. What's your name?"
"Miu"
Tucker explained to me that Casper was not like that before. When he first joins the guild, he was a happy go lucky boy and a close friend with Vulture, the macho silver haired man... but two years ago, Casper's little brother who was the same age as mine also joins the guild and eventually died in his very first mission. Since then, Casper will scare or beat the children or newbie who wanted to become adventurer.
I tell you, he's bitter. He still mourned for his lost. Poor him... but I still hated him since he hurts and humiliated me! I'll pay him back TEN TIMES, hmph!
Tucker was in the same party as Vulture and asked me if I also wanted to join them so I can accumulate more points if I am with a part who was already a rank B... but I declined his kindness since being adventurer for me is not for long. It was just to make me have an experience and I am a bit... different? You know that Daisy sensei warned me about my ability and my father telling me that I needed to hide my identity. I have many secrets that I wanted to hide and if I form a party with them, sooner and later, my secrets will be revealed and that's what I don't want to happen.
I was humming 'unravel' while skipping on my way to West forest for my very first mission.
I was actually very excited since it is my very first guild quest.
In my past life, I only do some kind of quest in playing online games or MMORPG but never in reality. Before, I always dream that SAO was real and I am one of the players who was actually imprisoned inside the game but alas, dreams will always be dreams... until now.
Yosh! Let's do some horned rabbits' hunting!
Let's see what kind of magical beast are horned rabbits.
They are very cute and fluffy little rabbits (just like a normal rabbit) but they have a pinkish white horn over their forehead and can jump really, really high. Horned rabbits have a very powerful leg, a weapon against their enemies. They are a creature that easily frightened so it was hard to capture them but they are also territorial. They'll run if they knew that their friends are not with them but once they are in group, they'll have a confidence to fight back especially if you are in their territory.
This magical beast is only a first grade magical beast but once they are in groups, only those in rank B and rank A adventurer can fight them since they are too many, TOO many, and too fast. You might be powerful but fighting too many opponents that seems endless is tiring and eventually might end your precious life.
Magical beast, just like humans and other race, has different grade according to their strength and abilities. Magical beast has ten grades and the higher the grade is, the stronger that creature is. And there was a creature that also undergoes evolution and became the leader of the pack, for example, if the horned rabbit has two horns and the fur change from white to red, it means it evolves and is now called red queen rabbit and the grade jumps from first grade into second grade.
For humans (excluded my own level since I used the techniques for fairies, elves and dragons): there are two types of which path you choose, magi path and martial arts path.
Magi path level are measured with the amount of their mana points capacity (stamina) by rainbow color naming (since naming of my level and the normal level for humans are different) such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple and black gold [a/n: someone asked me what was the black gold color. Imagine a color black with tinge of gold, that's the black gold. The combination of the two colors]. The mage will need a staff or wand or scepter or any object as their magic conductor to create a spell, it is rare for a mage to have none of those yet can create magic.
While in martial arts path level are measured with their physical force or strength shown in the color of copper, bronze, silver, gold, and black gold. It will show in the glow of their respective weapons because the magic power will gather in their weapon as the conductor same with magi path.
Along the way, I saw a party group composed of two mage, one swordman, an archer, and a warrior protecting their employer, a group of merchants against five orcs!
What should I do?
Shall I help them or leave them?
