Chapter 159 - First Quest

"Me and Bryan will boost the two of you so you can easily reach D-rank," Souta said to Brando and Lumilia.

"Boost?" Bryan tilted his head as he couldn’t understand what Souta meant.

Souta looked at Bryan and he explained it in simple words that even Bryan could understand, "It means that we will help them in their quest. With their power level, it’s not a problem for the Adventurers Guild to promote them to D-rank as long as they finish the prerequisite number of quest."

"Okay, I understand it." Lumilia nodded as she understood what he meant. She looked at her party and was quite surprised when she saw Brando with them. She didn’t expect that Brando was already joining Bryan and Souta in their adventurers.

She wondered when they get so close to the point that they formed a party. Yeah, Souta always dominated Brando’s class in tests and special test. If it was those spoiled brats, they would harbor hate towards Souta who always beat their class alone.

There’s still one week before the outdoor training so Souta was planning to finish some quest in Adventurers Guild. He would try to earn some skill points and later level up one of his spells.

Just a little bit skill points and he would be able to upgrade one of his spells to level ten. If that happens, Souta would be able to rank up his class to Rank 3 Mage.

’I should prepare for my evolution next.’ Souta thought as he rubbed his chin.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he felt that Bryan, Brando, and Lumilia were staring at him.

"What’s wrong?" Souta opened his mouth and asked them.

"You’re the leader of our party so I’m going to ask what should we do right now," Bryan asked him with stars in his eyes. He wanted to go on an adventurer right now with his friends.

Brandon and Lumilia nodded at Bryan’s words.

Souta sighed as he knew what’s in Bryan’s mind. Well, it’s not a problem for him as Souta was already planning to finish some quest today.

"Okay, let’s go to the Adventurers Guild and picked up some quest there," Souta said.

"Yosh!" Bryan exclaimed with an excited face. He can’t wait to finish some quest.

Souta and his co. went towards the Adventurers Guild and they arrived there after walking for a few minutes.

Adventurers Guild was still the same. A lot of people came in and out of the guild’s door, people were laughing and chatting inside, and some were on the corner waiting for their party to show up.

Since Souta was somewhat famous in the circle of adventurers, a lot of people greeted him when they saw him entered the guild. Almost every adventurer that stayed here in Ladro City knew Souta.

"Oh, Souta! You’re here again! How about we drink sometimes?"

"We should take a quest together sometimes! I wanted to see your partner in action!"

By partner, they meant Yuko. He’s the only tamer here in Adventurers Guild so everyone wanted to take a quest together with Souta.

"Haha, next time. I still have to teach my party the essence of adventurers." Souta smiled and said to them with a wry smile.

"Party? You’ve added one person to your party!"

"You said before that Yuko is enough for you and you didn’t need a party! So why change your mind?"

"I sometimes thought that you Souta, only enroll in the Ladros Institute to take some of the students there to create your own party!"

"Haha, a lot of things happened," Souta said to them.

"Souta, do you still have a plan increase your party member? Me and my brother decided to join a suitable party for the two of us."

"I don’t have any plan right now, my hands are full taking care of these three. I’ll notify you when I decide to expand my party." Souta replied.

"Okay, you here that brother!"

"Yeah, yeah, I hear that brother!"

Bryan, Brando, and Lumilia just listened to him talked to every adventurer. They simply followed him from behind while some of the adventurers were looking at them.

’I never thought that Souta who only talked to Bryan and Alice in class could talk to every adventurers here at the same time.’ Lumilia thought as she looked at Souta’s back.

Souta arrived in front of the quest board.

"We’re here. Let’s take a look at all the quests here."

Brandon, Bryan, and Lumilia stood beside Souta. They looked at every quest that was on the board.

"Souta, let’s do this quest!" Bryan said as he pointed his finger at one of the quests on the board.

"Let me take a look." Souta read the description on the quest and he felt that he lost some of his energy today.

The quest that Bryan wanted to do was a monster subjugation quest. And the monster that they needed to subjugate was the Lava Slime that appeared in the mountain near Ladro City.

It seems that the Lava Slime picked Bryan’s interest. After all, Souta and Nayo forced the knowledge about powerful slime inside Bryan’s head before.

"You, you just wanted to tame it and make it your own pet," Souta said as he looked at Bryan with a tired expression.

"What’s wrong with that?!" Bryan complained to him.

"Everything is wrong. I really couldn’t argue with you." Souta massaged his temples and said, "My decision is we’re not taking that quest."

"Why?!" Bryan pushed his face closer to Souta. He looks like he was about to cry.

"Do you know how strong is a Lava Slime, huh? The core of the Lava Slime is a monster orb so you should understand how strong it is." Souta explained to Bryan.

"Isn’t that great? The stronger the slime the better it is for becoming my pet." Bryan said.

"No matter what you say I’m not changing my decision. In the first place, I’m only a C-rank adventurer so the Adventurers Guild wouldn’t permit us in taking that quest. A monster of the level is for B-rank adventurers." Souta explained to Bryan.

Bryan slumped down his shoulders in disappointment. He understood that he was only a D-rank adventurer, not B-rank.

Brando patted Bryan’s shoulder and said, "It’s okay, wait till you reach B-rank and I’m sure that Souta will permit you."

"Brando! You’re really my friend! As my thanks, I will fight you later!" Bryan said as he hugged Brando.

Souta ignored them and he focused his attention in finding a suitable quest for them.

If it was in the game, Souta would prefer to go alone. This time was different, he could die anytime. Souta wouldn’t want to die so he will bring anyone that could help him in his quest.

Bryan, Brando, and Lumilia possessed decent powers. They could help him in his quest with their strength.

"Hmm...?" Something caught Souta’s attention. He reached out his hand and picked a quest.

He read the quest description and found that this quest was strange. The description was not detailed enough for him to understand the danger of the quest.

There’s also no rank requirements in this quest. It seems that the quest giver was desperate for it.

Souta looked back at the adventurers in the guild and asked, "Do you know about this quest?"

The adventurers looked at the quest in his hands before they replied to him.

"Yeah, the quest giver is pretty desperate."

"With little rewards, they are asking us to investigate their lord so we naturally left this quest there."

"No one will bother themselves with a quest with such low rewards even though the difficulty is high."

That’s right, the quest was about the lord of a certain land near the Hebrei Kingdom. The quest giver was asking to investigate the lord of their land as he was the most suspicious suspect from the recent killings in their land.

Souta closed his eyes and he rubbed his chin. After a few moments, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, I’ll take this quest."

"You okay, Souta? The reward is too low for that quest!"

"I think you should pick another quest!"

"It’s enough for me." Souta shook his head and said. He then walked towards the receptionist and placed the quest in front of her.

"I’d like to take this quest," Souta said to her with a serious expression.

Lumilia and Brando looked at each other and sighed. They have no choice but to follow Souta.

"Oho~ we’re going to visit a lord. I hope that lord is strong enough to entertain me." Bryan smirked and said with a somewhat arrogant expression.

"Hey, we’re going to investigate the lord, not fight the lord." Souta glanced at Bryan and said.

"Sir, the one who posted this quest has one condition." The receptionist said to Souta.

"And what it is?" Souta raised his eyebrows.

"He wanted to meet the one who accepted his quest." The receptionist answered his question in a polite tone.

"Meet the one who accepted his quest?" Souta was a little bit surprised when he heard it. This also confirmed one thing. And that this quest was really special.
