Newbie Job (1)

Kyle, the mercenary rescued by Kaer, was seen washing up his face after about a week of hiding for a complete recovery in some love hotel in the back alleys of commoner residence areas.

"Fuuu!!!!"

After thoroughly washing up his face, he straightened his back again, looking at his reflection in the mirror and watching his face drenched with water and ashen hair hanging wet on his forehead.

"What a weird resting period!"

Kyle muttered as he started to take out bandages and plasters all over his body, and as these bandages were removed, there wasn't even a scratch left after the recovery of those wounds.

'Tier 2: Recovery Potions? Even if it might have been first-class, how in the hell is it so effective? I have consumed 3rd grade Tier 3 potions before for recovery, but even then, it took me months to recover such a wound, yet those two potions did the work in a week?'

Kyle released a genuine deep sigh, scratching his head as he tried to comprehend the new, changed views of the world. In a week of rest, he had several enlightenments, thinking all to himself about how deeply this world actually works.

For the first time, he placed his weapons aside to look at and research his job activities and secret places hidden everywhere. The more he learned, the more he knew that what he had been walking on was just thin ice and the stable land was still miles away, but more than anything, he was still stunned by his recovery speed.

"Just what's with that darn shop? Is it like a secret place or something? I'm just surprised how it isn't famous with such effective items there."

Kyle sighed, washing up his body in the bath, and as he came out, drying up his hair, a message on his phone caught his attention.

[The agent agreed. You can come over to the 15th district and join the pub. I'm just telling you, since we had casualties because of our mistake, don't try to spread wings too much; be humble!' Kia' doesn't like overconfident guys; it would be better if you acted a bit helpless and weak. She had kinks for that.]

"15th district's pub? This bastard was talking about 11th Districts's pubs! Fuck this! But well, I guess I don't have much choice with zero money right now."

Kyle sighed, packing up his items into his bracelet. He quietly left the room, wearing a deep blue leather jacket and a black nose mask on his face, and walked through the hallway towards the next destination.

The '15th District isn't too bad either, I guess, but from what I heard, the 11th District pubs operate for elites and nobles. I could have made big money with a few missions of scaring some pussy rich kids, but guess this time luck isn't with me. Guess I have to grind hard for the next few days!'

Kyle sighed, took a taxi from the road, and gave the location's name.

"Veggy market over 15th district's 3rd block"

"Oh! It's on sale today! Lucky!"

The driver smiled cheerfully, Kyle also assumed a light persona, nodding happily, and the taxi left, finally arriving over the 15th district in just half an hour.

"Thanks"

Kyle gave a slight tip and moved inside a vegetable shop as the driver left. Kyle's light persona also vanished as he moved through the shop, entering the back storage room, avoiding all attention, and stealthily leaving the building through the back doors without anyone's knowledge.

From the back doors, he arrived over a tense alley and just casually started to move with a map of location in his hand, and after finally about a few minutes, he arrived at what seemed to be a godforsaken old pub on the outside.

"Nice..."

Kyle nodded with a smile, and suddenly his confident face became a bit immature and tender, making him look like some chocolate boy as he entered the pub. As soon as he took his first step inside, the whole appearance of the pub suddenly changed, as this seemed no less than any elite club all over the capital, with so many people with weapons lying around casually just sitting over tables with a rather intimidating aura.

'Guess this is indeed quite a safe place for members; to think even the Law Enforcement Department can't find it for years, this woman... She really is something else...'

Kyle's gaze fell over a woman with a sharp face and rather stunning looks sitting over the bar desk, having a drink in a dark dress.

'Kia was it?'

Kyle nodded and started to slowly move towards the bar desk while acting like a puppy who entered the wolf's lair.

"U-um, you might be Miss Kia, right?"

Kyle questioned while standing behind her with eyes moving all over the place as the people around him kept glaring harder and harder. Kia's gaze also moved back towards Kyle, and the moment she saw Kyle, her eyes completely widened.

'Soft face! Tender looks! Soft-hearted guy! Humble too! This! This! Did the gods finally hear my prayers?

Kia's eyes immediately brightened up, but her face showed a sharp, dangerous smirk as she stood up, waving her finger around Kyle's face and neck, she commented

"Are you Kyle? The new guy in Capital? Are you sure you want to work as a mercenary and not as a waiter here?"

As she said that, she suddenly grabbed Kyle's face, rubbing her thumb around his lips. Kyle acted more and more panicked as he replied with a trembling voice.

"Um! I would like to work as a mercenary! I want to buy a house and be a good husband!"

Kyle's flustered answer caught the attention of every person over the bar, inviting their hatred and cold scoffs, but Kia's eyes became bright as stars, but still her voice acted cold.

"Ha~ what are you? A kindergarten kid? Good husband? Well, whatever the rules of the pub, they won't change for anyone or anything! Remember, if you survive till tomorrow, the pub is called 'Blue Rose Drinks', and you, a newbie, will restart with the rank of 5th Grade Mercenary. Here are the first three missions; finish them or work as a waiter from now on."

As Kia said that she passed Kyle some papers, Kyle was just looking at his flustered face, but she went ahead and even grabbed his ass while whispering in a cold, sexy voice.

"You better not scratch your face, kid; it's annoying if you do!"

Kyle's face turned red as he immediately grabbed the papers and ran away from the pub.

"I-i! I will be back by evening."

"Haha! Of course! Of course!"

Kia waved her hands with a smile. The next second, she took a big sniff at her hands as she coldly muttered.

"Well, even the smell is just nice, but... why did this guy catch 'their' attention for them to force me to give such missions for such a kid?"

As she muttered, an image of some swordsman with marks all over his neck and left face and a cool, lazy guy with sweatpants flashed in her mind as she returned to her seat, showing a frustrated expression.

"Fuck! I really don't like others interfering with my work! Shitty world, dammit!"
