Escort Quest: Part 4

{We moved with haste, I can run very fast while Lyla used wind magic to increase her speed. We were reaching the academy pretty quickly but the monsters kept interfering us in our track.}

"An ogre huh, lady Lyla, show this monster the combat type magic I taught you." - Angel

"Okay! [Fire Magic: Flame Arrow]!" - Lyla Astallon

[Although it did some damage, it isn't enough, I can take care of everything but Lyla needs actual opponents for experience.]

"Again Lyla! But with more power!" - Angel

"Take this! [Fire Magic: Fire Lance]!" - Lyla says while sweating

[It did the job but it took a lot of mana from Lyla.]

"Lyla, take this potion, it'll recover your mana quickly." - Angel

"Thank you, sir Angel" - Lyla Astallon

"Lets move quickly." - Angel

[We've reached the academy just in time but I knew everything about leaving us in the forest was part of the test, I felt magic particles scattered everywhere and I felt multiple gazes as if people were watching us from afar.]

"Lady Lyla, congratulations in reaching the academy, I'll be going back to the city now." - Angel

"Angel wait! Can we meet again once I finish in the academy, I still want learn things from you." - Lyla Astallon

"Of course we can meet again, if it doesn't bother you." - Angel

"Promise?" - Lyla Astallon

"Promise." - Angel

[I've said my goodbyes now so its time to return back, I'll just return back to the inn through a portal.]

{The escort quest was fun and I was able to make connections with a noble.}

<Astallon Family's Mansion>

"Lord Griass, the adventurer has returned." - Lancelot

"Let him in.." - Griass Astallon

"I greet the Marquis lord Griass..." - Angel

"You've returned quite quickly, Angel, have you successfully escorted my daughter?" - Griass Astallon

"Yes, I have successfully escorted your daughter to the academy without her getting late." - Angel

"That's good news, and as per the reward, five carved platinum coins and..." - Griass Astallon

{The currency in this world are bronze coins, silver coins, gold coins, platinum coins and carved platinum coins that only nobles have which has the highest value that one carved platinum coin can buy three mansions, I found out while talking to people in the streets.}

[To that I'll get carved platinum coins instead of the uncarved ones, how lucky of me.]

"And for the second reward, my noble rune." - Griass Astallon

"My lord! Isn't the noble rune too much for a escort quest!?" - Lancelot

[Noble rune? That's something I don't know about.]

"Lancelot, I'm merely giving my gratitude to the adventurer, you know how much is getting into the academy for Lyla and how dangerous the escort quest was because of hostile nobles." - Griass Astallon

"But still, handing the noble rune of the Astallon family to the adventurer is the same as saying he is in the protection of the Astallon family. Nobles might target him from that fact." - Lancelot

[Whoa, so that's how valuable a noble rune, and to think the patriarch would give it to me as thanks for getting her to the academy safely.]

"Lancelot, my decision is final! Angel, please your arm on this rune." - Griass Astallon

"Y-yes sir..." - Angel
