Humanity Return
Ch. 123 – Girl Receptionist at Mission Center
“How...?”
Aura began to sit firmly while recalling all the information she knew, from the teacher and the one she had discovered herself over the past month.
Leinn also changed his sitting position, considering this was something that would help him out of this matter.
“...the way used by almost all new students today is to complete the tasks of the classes they follow, this serves as a source of Merit while improving their abilities in the field of that class.”.
That was also what Aura was doing before Leinn found her, and what Adeline had already completed. Plus their duties are not things that are usually given to first year students, who will give Merit in small amounts as a gift later.
“...and Mission Center!” Aura looked like she regained her senses and showed her smile after finding her answer, then turned to her side, “You can finish the task in Mission Center to get Merit!”
“Mission Center?”
Leinn looked at that excited expression and started stroking his chin.
“Completing a mission in Mission Center giving Merit?”
“...Professor Isaac already told us a week before class starts”
Leinn looked at Aura's confused expression for a moment, then started to recall...
“Oh!”
He can't remember.
“So where is this Mission Center?” Leinn got up from her seat.
Aura immediately recalled the position of the Mission Center from the Academy map she had read, then looked for the closest place Leinn had ever visited.
“Di... between Health Center and this place. If you follow this stone path-“
“Oh, thank you Aura!”
Leinn raised his right hand and immediately ran in the direction pointed at by Aura, leaving her.
“Kyu-u...!
Clear also directly stretched out her tentacles to the young man's head then instantly became interested in going with him.
The calm atmosphere returned to the place along with the young man who was getting away from it.
Aura looked towards Leinn disappearing it once again before grabbing the book in front of her, standing up and walking away in the other direction.
“Hm..”
...
“Hah..”.
For the next time, I took a small breath.
I've been standing here for hours doing nothing, looking forward while maintaining my smile.
Making today the same day as the days before, is just more boring.
All the data from the previous day had been finished and none of the students had given me a new report, really not giving me anything to fill this free time.
“...”
I started to look around this building, looking for things that would take my boredom away.
In front of the mission board was a disciple who just browsed through the mission list without choosing anything before returning to his seat with his group.
The group of four people who sat at one table and made this place their gathering place, while waiting for the mission with gifts and difficulties that suited them.
Then a girl of my age who was writing something in her book beside me, who seemed to notice my gaze and immediately turned her head.
“What's up, Isla?”
My co-worker Sophie looked at me curiously. It seems like she felt my movements today that were a little different from before.
“...nothing”
He went back to writing something in his book and stopped paying attention to his surroundings.
I looked back to the front while holding back the feeling of boredom that was very familiar, which always accompanied me since the second month I worked here.
“Ha..”
The ability to count and organize documents efficiently allowed me to get this position since my first year, which at the same time allowed me to earn a considerable amount of Merit. This became possible thanks to the teachings of my father who owned a medium-sized trading company.
This stable entry of Merit allowed me who had an ordinary talent to access the Magic Theory books in the Library more freely and receive tips directly from some senior disciples, he said, the result was my development which was a little faster than the other students.
“Hah..”.
But this isn't what I'm looking for...
I also wanted a thrilling adventure, with a Party formed by people who had the same dream as me.
Wander into untouched places and discover things I've never seen before.
“Hah..”.
It's not setting and tidying up the results of other people's adventures, and it's not the same view from behind the same table every day.
The same task documents, the disciples who came and went, and a young man who was running at high speed who was already on the verge of reaching the entrance of this building...
“Ha-?!”
The bham!
The sound of the foot beating that stopped his running echoed inside the building, shocking everyone who was here.
I began to clearly see the newcomer wearing an ordinary disciple uniform, with a transparent wisp on his back.
His short black hair seemed to have begun to be swayed by the wind that was still blowing from his flight, with his black eyes looking back at me.
The deg...!
It seemed like he realized my whereabouts and started walking to my desk.
“A-can anyone help me...?”
The young man stopped and leaned against the table, looking at me with a big smile.
“What this place... Mission Center?”
The deg...!
A strange feeling began to appear from within my chest, eliminating the boredom that had accompanied me for quite a long time without a trace.
Somehow I knew, but I was sure when I saw this young man in front of me, that he was the one I was looking for.
“...Yes!”
...
Leinn began to look around after hearing that, then lowered the Clear that perched on his back on the table in front of him.
“Good! I need a mission!”
The girl standing on the other side of the table started shaking her head, as if woken up from her daydream. He also began to show his professional smile while pointing his hand at a board located not far from the table.
“Over existing missions and can be taken by ordinary students, everything can be found on the Mission Board, which is always updated every time there are new missions that enter”
“Hoh... Thank you!”
Leinn showed a single smile before leaving the girl and walked up to the mission board there, leaving Clear on the table.
