New Mission Release!
Chapter 8 - New Mission Release!
"System, what's the next quest?"
After returning from the rooftop and sitting in the classroom, Mahiro Toma stared intently at the blackboard. The teacher on the podium was talking eloquently, but his mind was already focused on system quests again.
The Trial quest had given Mahiro a taste of success.
After completing the quest, using the rewards to gain power beyond ordinary people was exhilarating, and Mahiro couldn't wait to take on new quests.
"A new quest for the host is being generated," the system answered.
In no time, there were results.
Quest Release: The Trial of Strength.
Content: Defeat at least three low-class devils.
Difficulty: Normal
Reward: Unlock the primary magic source, receive the basic magic training card, draw a lottery once, and earn 100 points for each low-class devil defeated.
Looking at the new quests and the series of rewards, a satisfied smile appeared on Mahiro's face. "The rewards are quite generous, but I've just gained power, so I need to practice..."
The fight between devils is very different from the fight between students. One is just physical pain, while the other could be life-threatening.
However, at this moment, Mahiro felt neither fear nor hesitation but was excited to try.
Having just gained power, he had the urge to test it out.
Next, Mahiro opened his own panel.
Host: Mahiro Toma
Race: Human
Level: Two stars
Strength Assessment: The comprehensive strength can reach the level of low-class devil
Abilities: Basic Physique (E), Basic Swordsmanship (E), Intuition (D), Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (A)[Lite], Instant-Sword Slash (E)
"Has this reached the level of low-class devil?" Mahiro couldn't help but shake his hand, a confident smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. He was a little surprised and a little proud but soon suppressed the pride in his heart.
Mahiro knew very well that in Kuoh Academy, the strength of low-class might be considered powerful and extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, but to many devils, they were only entry-level.
If he had to describe it, he could only be considered somewhat capable cannon fodder. At most, as cannon fodder, he could struggle a little bit.
Nothing to be proud of at all.
After learning about his current strength from the system character panel, the impulse in Mahiro's heart grew stronger.
He had suddenly gained power but had no experimental subjects. He never knew his actual combat level, and now this quest perfectly aligned with his idea.
"Defeat low-class devils?" Mahiro pondered for a while and had a general idea in his mind.
There are quite a few devils in Kuoh Town, and in Kuoh Academy alone, the number of devils completely meets Mahiro's goal.
It is undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to directly find the group of devils in Kuoh Academy as quest objects.
"Right now, I'd rather have a trial with those stray devils."
Mahiro couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth, a feeling that even he didn't know appearing in his heart.
Mahiro didn't know for the time being, but he knew that the excitement wouldn't be too bad.
It's natural to go to Rias and the others as quest objects, but there may be some unexpected entanglements, such as debts.
Most importantly, Mahiro felt that he would definitely not be enjoying himself, and that was the main reason.
However, those stray devils wandering in the darkness of the city are undoubtedly better targets.
Under normal circumstances, the strength of stray devils will not be too high.
Especially in Kuoh Town, which is Rias's territory. As an underage devil, her family will naturally not allow overly powerful stray devils to appear in Kuoh Town.
If one does appear, it will be dealt with by those adult mid-class or high-class devils in advance.
Most of the remaining devils were left to train these underage devils. It can be said that these stray devils fully meet Mahiro's quest requirements.
"There is something at home, so I need to go first."
As soon as the school bell rang, Mahiro picked up his backpack and ran out of the classroom in a hurry, leaving the girl who wanted to ask him stunned on the spot.
After leaving school, Mahiro found a restaurant and planned to eat out.
"System, can you search for where the stray devils are?"
"Search for 100 points."
"Never mind."
Mahiro shook his head and refused. He had spent 50 points to buy weapons before and now only had 50 points left, which was not enough.
While sitting and waiting for dinner, Mahiro had an idea. He took out his mobile phone and opened the web page to search for recent disappearance cases.
Recently, there have been many disappearance cases in Kuoh Town, but the police have not found any clues, as if these people disappeared out of thin air.
Mahiro had seen these news reports while surfing the Internet. At this time, Mahiro had an idea.
Mahiro suspected that these missing people should have encountered the stray devils.
Opening the webpage and constantly browsing the information about the disappearance cases, Mahiro also found some suspicious places.
"An abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city."
Mahiro pondered and then chose a place, "Let's check it out after dinner."
After the waiter brought his dinner, Mahiro finished it quickly.
.....
"It's too quiet."
Mahiro came to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, carefully observing the surrounding environment. He suddenly noticed some strange things.
There was a lot of vegetation and trees around. Although it was not dense, it was not rare.
There should be at least some birds in this place, but Mahiro did not see any birds when he looked around.
At this moment, the setting sun was crimson, dyeing the sky red like a blood-colored canvas hanging high, revealing a trace of depression.
In Japan, dusk is the transition period between day and night, and it is also the time when mythical creatures roam freely.
"But if that's the case, doesn't it just mean that I'm not wrong?"
There was a chill in the air, and maybe ordinary people couldn't detect it, but after tenfold improvement, Mahiro, who had intuition skill (Instinct), could clearly perceive the chill.
This chill, unlike the chill brought by winter, was an unpleasant one.
With a move of his right hand, the refined katana appeared in his hand. Mahiro stared at the mottled and dilapidated factory in front of him, holding the sword and slowly walked towards it.
