Hunting the bandits

"A grade three elemental weapon?" Max exclaimed in surprise and understood why she was so sure that he won't be able to complete this mission.

"That's right." The Elder nodded and rubbed her sleepy eyes, and continued, "I've already asked the academy to change the rank of the mission. So, you can choose to give up on this mission, and the academy won't give you any punishment."

Max thought for a second and asked, "If I do that, will I be considered to have completed this month's mandatory mission?"

If this were the case, he didn't have any problem giving up on this mission. After all, after learning how dangerous a bandit-killing mission in the sun feather city could be, he had decided that he would give up if it was too dangerous and not take unnecessary risks.

The Elder looked at him and shook her head. "I'm afraid not. At most, You'll be given some compensation for wasting your time coming here and then assigned another mission."
