Alchemist First Solo Combat Commission
"Let see here, a simple goblins extermination plus a kobolds extermination. Plus several different gathering commissions. Is this all?" the receptionist asked.
"Yes, that is all for now," Kell said.
"Good, and also, are you planning to get her promoted to Iron?" she asked another question.
"Yes, though we are not sure of how to do that. If it is somewhere safer, we would have her do a solo combat commission. But here, we are not so sure of it," Kell confessed.
"In that case, use this," she gave him a small crystal.
"What is this?" "This is a recording crystal. Point it, and then it will record everything until you ran out of mana. So, you can use this record her achievement and allow us to examine it," the receptionist explained.
"Thank you. Now all we need is to have you deal with the goblins all on your own," Euralle gulped at the thought before steeling herself. She would do it. She will not drag them down.

"So, what should I know about goblins?" she asked as they head deeper into the Darna Forest.
"They are small, and would be very hard to hit. But not very strong, so if some get close enough, a strong enough hit can kill them. Make sure to not get caught. I am pretty sure you heard of all the horror story of what happen to women caught by them. If you don't want that to happen, always pay attention to your surrounding,"
She nodded as Ian gave her ton of advise.
"What spells do you think will work well with the monsters?" he asked again. Fiona was about to answer before Ian close her mouth.
"For the spells, it is up to you. Remember, there will not be any scenario one practice that will occur in real life. Even if they are, there will be a lot of variation in it. So, expect the unexpected. The only thing you need to know is what monsters you are hunting, how can you easily kill it, what spells you have in your arsenal and how to utilize them the best. Il
If you know all of that, you will be able to handle the monsters without needing our input," Ian told her, making her nod.

It did not take them long to find the goblin tribes they were meant to subjugate. Ian quickly hid, before finding the best place to record Euralle in action.
As for pink-haired alchemist, she quickly get into their line of sight. The goblins let out a series of growl before they ran towards her.
Yet, she remained calm, the previous subjugation making her able to control her fear and did not ran whenever she met a monster.
She fire 2 Arcane Shot, killing the goblins running towards her. Seeing how he killed their tribe members, the remaining goblins looked at her with caution, not wanting to die next.
Practicing caution, the remaining monsters began to circle her, not wanting to be the next corpses on the ground. Yet, Euralle remained calm, gathering her mana for her strongest attack.
When they get close enough for them to run and reach them in 6 seconds flat, she blasted them with 3 Arcane Missile, the ball of mana moving in curves, hitting and killing the goblins that came close to her.
She was even able to manipulate the attack for one to constantly circle her while the remaining two curved and weave all over the place, a single attack is more than enough to kill 10 or so goblins.
At that moment, there is only 1 left after the Arcane Missile run out of mana. Seeing the attacks dissipating, the remaining green monster charged at her, growling in what he believe to be goblin's obscenities.
She did not move, instead, opting to use her staff as a close-range weapon, a single swipe killing the last monsters in seconds.

"You did good," Ian said as they left the goblin's area. The rest nodded in agreement. Considering she did not have much experience, the fact she was able to kill the 24 strong goblins show how much she improve from someone who could be beaten by a slime.
"Yeah, but I still need to work hard if I want to be strong enough to protect myself," she said before sitting on a stump. Considering what she did just now, no one find it in their heart to stop her from resting.
However, they still need to do their other commissions, though Kell offered a solution to it. "Ian, Fiona," he looked at the two mages. "Both of you are going to accompany her and do the gathering commissions. As for us, we will do the extermination,"
Ian nodded in agreement, seeing nothing wrong with the arrangement. With Ian agreeing to it, Kell did not waste anytime before heading towards the place with reported kobold's sighting.
When they left the area, Ian cast both Heal and Refresh, allowing her to move, even if she was still tired. With her being able to somewhat move, the mage trio headed straight towards the location of the herbs they need to collect.

"Why do you split us up like this?" unlike others who did not suspect a thing, Lisa was the only to see he has something plan.
"What are you talking about?" Kell asked in confusion.
The brunette rolled her eyes. "Why do you leave the three people that can potentially go from a coupled to a threesome?" she pointed out, causing Kell to caught loudly.
"It simple really," he said after going silent for two minutes.
"I am going to win this bet and no one can stop me," the three adventurers had extended the bet, from the longest being one week of Lisa, to 3 weeks from Ana and 2 weeks from Kell. Considering they are at the 2nd week, it is almost certain he would have won the bet.
Realizing this at the same time of realizing there is nothing they could do to stop it, the two women instead opt to beat up the leader instead.

"The herb should be around... here," Once again, Ian thank the gods for giving them with an alchemist into their party. With her in it, finding and collecting materials for gathering commissions had never been easier.
As per usual safety procedure, Ian cast Mana Sense, in case there are monsters nearby. Ten seconds later, her eyes widen before he cast Barrier, a spell that create a some barrier around them. Three arrows hit the barrier, broken from the impact.
"Come out," he growled. Soon, a group of people in dark clothing emerged from the woods.
