Chapter 176: First Mission

Also, Abel had used a technique when he was unleashing his force. The purpose of this technique was to send people flying with the kick, not directly penetrate them. These were two different ways of using force. The first one was used to send people flying, and the second was to give people internal damage.
Of course, his Knight’s training did not teach him anything about these physical kickboxing techniques. These techniques were all derived from the experience of his previous world. Since his strength had increased massively, these techniques improved drastically.
Jason was struck by this horizontal kick. His 2.2 meters tall body was stopped for a while by this massive force and flew out towards a side afterward.
“Ahhh!” As Jason was screaming, his body directly flew towards Wizard Blight, who was still arguing with Wizard Morton.
By the time Wizard Blight had realized Jason was flying towards him, it was already too late for him to dodge. He could only quickly pad his portal bag, and a shield made up of white light emerged in front of his body. Jason’s body viciously struck upon the shield. In a flash of an eye, Jason was already slowly rolling around the floor, red bubbles coming out of his mouth.
“Mr. Blight, did I win?” Said Abel innocently looking at Wizard Blight.
“You!” Wizard Blight felt extremely angry. Not because of Jason. He couldn’t care less if Jason died. He was angry because of the fact that he had wasted a defense rune sign in the Wizard Union branched headquarter.
“Wizard Blight, so what now. The battle had ended, are you going to give my disciple a wizard badge?” Said wizard Morton in a deep voice. He was already extremely irritated by the fact that Wizard Blight was trying to give them a hard time. He had decided that he would report this to the Wizard Union, what Wizard Blight had done was clearly taking advantage of the Holy Wizard Union.
Wizard Blight didn’t say anything. He coldly gazed towards the Jason twitching around on the floor and returned to his office desk. He ignited a magic circle, white lights began to swirl, and a badge with 3 leaves appeared.
“Novice Wizard Abel, I will now officially give you your wizard badge on behalf of the Wizard Union!” Said Wizard Blight as he walked in front of Abel. He coldly looked at him for a second and placed the wizard badge on his hand.
The way Wizard Blight had treated Abel could already be considered as a huge offense to Abel’s dignity. According to the rules, if Wizard Blight was giving Abel the wizard badge on behalf of the Wizard Union, he had to put the badge in front of Abel’s chest to signify the Wizard Union qualified his hard work.
“Wizard Blight, you no longer have the right to represent the Wizard Union,” Said Wizard Morton in a deep voice.
As they were walking out of room number 3, Abel held the badge with 3 leaves in his hands and closely examined it. Although the leaves on the surface of the badge was for decoration only, the badge itself was made with many tiny magic circles.
They walked around the mission list in the hall. Abel remembered mission 388, a mission about gathering soul catching grass. So he quickly asked, “Teacher, can I accept a mission?”
“Already?” If you want to accept a mission, you have to go with Carlos and Camille. Never go by yourself.” Wizard Morton warned Abel.
“Teacher, I don’t need to battle in this mission. It is a mission I can complete immediately, which I saw yesterday.” Abel explained.
“Well, that’s lucky. I remember I spent an entire month to complete my first mission… Fine, let’s go submit your mission,” said Wizard Morton with a smile.
The two of them walked towards the mission list, and Abel placed the wizard badge on his into one of the empty gaps in the line of magic circles in front of the mission list. The gap fitted perfectly.
Abel used his power of the will to control the wizard badge. What he saw was similar to using a mouse in his past life, and the mission list was similar to a screen. As he stared at the missions quickly moving up and down, he quickly selected mission 388. Afterward, the details of the mission appeared on his wizard badge.
It was a good thing everyone who accepted these missions were wizards. It would be impossible for a normal person to select anything with the speed at which the mission messages were moving.
Abel retrieved his wizard badge and turned his head back to Wizard Morton. He asked, “Teacher, does that mean I had accepted the mission?”
“Yes, I never thought you’d are so good at using it already.” Said Wizard Morton.
Abel wanted to say that although this mission list was very advanced in this world’s standing, it was very outdated compared to the things in his previous world; from was the interface or its practical use. This mission list was very simple, and the way it was controlled was not too different from a computer from his previous world.
“I’ve seen Carlos used it before,” Abel could only think of this explanation.
“Oh, you can go that way to submit your mission!” Said Wizard Morton pointing towards an area on the right side of the hall.
Abel arrived in the service desk. The place felt fresh, and there was nothing stacking up. It looked nothing like a place to submit things.
“Are you here to submit a mission?” The person serving Abel was a low ranking female wizard wearing a white robe. She didn’t look too old. Instead she looked kinda like Loraine, so you could basically call her a beautiful woman.
“Yes,” Abel followed.
The low ranking female wizard then said with a smile, “Please show me your wizard badge!”
Abel gave his wizard badge to the low ranking female wizard. The low ranking female wizard then placed Abel’s wizard badge on a magic circle in front of her and said, “It is your first time submitting a mission. If you had complete the mission all by yourself, your mission credit rate would increase by 20%.”
“Teacher, you never told me about this!” Said Abel turning his head back towards Wizard Morton in a puzzled expression.
“My teacher didn’t tell me back in the days as well!” Said Wizard Morton in a strong voice.
The low ranking female wizard looked for a second towards Wizard Morton, who was standing behind Abel. She immediately knew this was an official wizard teaching his disciple, so she said with a smile, “Please give me your mission requirements.”
Abel took out a decent size bad from his portal bag and placed it on the counter. Many wizards standing by the side couldn’t help but tensed up their gaze and stared at Wizard Morton with a frightened look. They all thought this rank 3 Wizard’s portal bag was given by his teacher since the only way to get a portal bag without being investigated by the Wizard Union was to kill an official Wizard.
The low ranking female wizard opened the bag, seeing that it was filled with soul catching grass. She then asked suspiciously, “Did you finish this mission all by yourself? If there were other wizards who had helped you, you wouldn’t get the 20% increase.”
The low ranking female wizard could not believe a rank 3 wizard could get such a large amount of soul catching grass by himself. These soul catching grass were exclusively grown in the orc empire. It was very hard to get in the human world. Also, since these grasses were also a key component to a Knight’s rank increasing potion, they were even harder to get.
“Yes, I completed this mission all by myself,” Abel repeated himself in a certain tone while frowning his eyebrows.
“Ok, I’ll give these souls catching grass a check,” The low ranking female wizard dumped all the soul catching grass out, and randomly selected 2 of them to place on a magic circle by the side.
“Weird, really no other wizards who had touched them!” The low ranking female wizard mumbled to herself with her head pointing downward. This magic circle could detect the scent of a wizard. It was responsible for examining missions that required wizards to complete all by themselves. In order to be qualified, the magic circle needed to show the scent of the wizard completing the mission. If there was another scent beside the wizard examining the mission merchandise, it would mean that this mission was not completed by that wizard alone.
The low ranking female wizard counted up all the soul catching grass in detail and said, “You have 2520 soul catching grass in total. Please take back 20 of them. You had gained 25 credit from this mission, and since it was your first mission and you had completed all by yourself, you will get 5 extra credit. That’s 30credit points in total. Do you want to deposit it in your wizard badge?”
“Please help me exchange it into 23 bottles of ‘constitution potion’ and deposit the rest of the credit into my wizard badge.” After Abel had put away the 20 soul catching grass, the first thing that came to his mind was to get some ‘constitution potion’ for combining. He had 3 bottles of ‘constitution potion’ on him currently. If he got 23 more, it would just be enough to combine a master’s ‘constitution potion’.
The low ranking female wizard put all the soul catching grass back into the bag and placed it on to a magic circle behind her. She operated it for a while, and the bag of soul catching grass disappeared into thin air. After a while, a wooden box appeared from the magic circle.
Afterward, the low ranking female wizard place the wooden box and Abel’s wizard badge on the counter and said, “7 credit points had been deposited into your wizard badge, and your 23 potions are here as well. Please take it.”
Abel put away his wizard badge and opened the wooden box to quickly counted the potions. Afterward, he nodded his head.
