Chapter 129 - Missions
"Alright. Let's start then." Radvils opened his Skylink and typed a few things before they felt their Skylink just received a message. He extended his hand and said, "Please open your Skylink."
Theo frowned and took out his Skylink. As soon as he opened the mail, he could find a certain instruction from Radvils.
Mission:
1. Reach level requirement. Third-year students are to reach Level 251 and become Hero Rank Combatants. First-year students are required to become a Champion Rank or a minimum of Level 151. The time limit is three months.
2. Each group will kill three Hero Rank Monsters of your choice. The school will be providing one hundred Level 250 to Level 270 monsters. They are a rare breed, so their strength will be different from your typical Hero Rank Monsters. If you are not strong enough, then don't challenge it. As long as you don't bring any outside help, everything is fair.
3. Please provide proof of all the monsters you killed during the three months. We will measure it to see who among you gets the most kills.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRadvils gave them five minutes to understand the missions first. After that, he continued his explanation. "As you already know about the first mission, I have personally explained it to your group… If the first mission is not completed, you won't be qualified for the second mission even if you bring me the proof.
"As for the second mission, you are required to handle three Hero Rank Monsters. There are fifty groups among you, so…" Radvils stopped his explanation as the students gulped down.
Someone finally took this chance to continue it for him with a scared expression. "So, it's a natural elimination?"
Radvils took a deep breath. The students gulped down since "yes" would be the most believable answer.
However, Radvils decided to say, "No!"
"Eh?" His statement stunned all the students.
"The mission only stated you are to kill three Hero Rank Monsters of your choice while the school will be providing the information about them. If you find another one that can be classified as one of those one hundred monsters, it will be counted towards your contribution.
"In other words, if all the one hundred monsters have died, you are free to continue searching for another one. As long as there is no outside help that will help you to fight these monsters, you're free to do anything." Radvils explained.
Alea seemed to notice something as she asked, "You said help in the fight… Does that mean we're free to use our influences to get the information?"
The other students turned to her and never expected that kind of help.
Radvils even nodded his head. "Yes. You can post the information gathering mission in the Temples, get your family to help with the information, or whatever plans you can think of as long as they are not there physically. Of course, you are to record all the fights, so we can make sure the monsters are healthy, meaning they are not weakened by your influence."
"Wait. Getting help from the family? That's not fair. It's also relying on the monetary resources if you want to post a mission in the Temples." One of the students shouted.
Radvils made a bewildered expression while feeling cringy about this guy's comment. He simply answered with an annoyed tone. "Kid, has no one ever taught you that this world was never fair and never will be? I don't need your cringy ideal. If you don't like it, just piss off. You won't be missed."
The students obviously didn't like that comment since they couldn't choose their parents. Even so, the life of the rich people wasn't that smooth either. There was a family like Laust's and there was a different kind of family like the Eilric Family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRadvils understood that and never thought about it in his head. He continued his explanation. "If you think this is already unfair… you will realize this is a Haven compared to the international stage. Either way, I don't want to delve into this matter. I only want to say one thing if you still have a question regarding this fairness. Grow up, kids."
Many students had their expressions twisted, acknowledging that Radvils might be one of the most unpleasant people they had ever met. And the latter said it like it was a natural thing, not deliberately, thus making it even more frustrating.
Without waiting for them, Radvils continued his explanation. "During these three months, I have gotten permission to let you go to the other side for fifteen days every month. In other words, you have a total of forty-five days in these three months. Of course, you will need to take at least fifteen days for permission. Saturday and Sunday are counted among the fifteen days. Even if your permit ends on Saturday, you are to go back here right away.
"If our staff finds you utilizing more than you're allowed to, you will be disqualified. Last but not least, to give you some leeway, we will be providing tents and other basic equipment for camping."
Ellen raised his hand after Theo whispered a question to her to not make others change his opinion about him for being able to discern something good.
"Are there any tools we are not allowed to bring?"
Radvils widened his eyes in amazement for a split second. He thought for a moment and smiled. "A good question. Since this is for Grand Gaia, let's follow their rule. Other than your main weapons, any kind of weapons, especially the explosive and expensive ones, are not allowed. After all, how can we allow you to bring plasma bombs or tanks there…
"You can bring all the necessary tools according to your judgment. You should remember that you may probably need to camp for two weeks straight, so you need to think about the journey to go back to the Art Beast Castle or you will be disqualified. Vehicles are not allowed as well. Think of it like physical training." Radvils nodded and asked, "Any other questions? If not, I will be ending it here."
He waited for another two minutes, but not a single student raised their hand, so he closed it there.
"Since you don't have any questions, I will be ending the session here. You are free to buy anything you need today and get the free tents from me after this. The count will start tomorrow, precisely, 1 April, I wish you luck." Radvils said his final piece, turned around and left the stage.
