Chapter 210 Choosing A Mission 2
Chapter 210 Choosing A Mission 2
Nolan had looked at the remaining students and noticed a single thing—an anomaly.
They were carrying scrolls and readily dropping them back.
He didn't understand the rush, but he could guess the reason.
When he arrived before the scrolls and touched one, he had been able to see the content of the scroll, and also the experience points and other details attached to it.
Touching another scroll, he noticed the same thing with only a minor difference of just one point between the two scrolls.
Turning to look at the rest, Nolan knew that if he had to make a good decision, he would need at least an hour to check all the scrolls around and find the best one among them in terms of points that will be bestowed.
By all accounts, there were nearly hundreds of thousands of scrolls. How could anyone choose the best one in just 30 minutes?
Besides, as he had already learned, the value in the scroll itself wasn't that important.
So, in the end, he simply picked one randomly from the bunch and walked back to his spot.
"You already made your choice?" a voice suddenly rang beside his ears.
Nolan turned to face the fox lady as she approached him.
"Yes, I have," he replied, but in the next instant, he felt his hand fold into itself.
Looking at his palms, tthe scroll he formerly carried had disappeared.
Turning to look before him, he saw the scroll now in the hands of the fox lady.
How did she collect it so fast? Nolan asked himself dumbly.
[She took it from you before your blood could complete a single revolution.]
[Just as quickly, she can take your life too...] the system warned, sending a chill down Nolan's spine as he looked at the lady.
She furrowed her brows at the scroll before handing it back to him.
"Why didn't you think carefully before choosing one?" she asked, tossing the scroll at him.
Nolan caught it effortlessly.
"I've been told I have good luck, so I simply left it to that..." he replied as she rolled her eyes.
"The scroll you picked wants you to retrieve an artifact that an entire world is fighting for?"
"I pray that's good luck for you..." she said to him.
Nolan eyes flashed and he quickly dived his consciousness into the scroll in his hands.
Instantly, the information flooded into his mind.
---
Quest: The world of Alteria is currently at war for an artifact of immense power.
The war will do nothing but extinguish their planet, and the artifact that is being fought over is beyond their control and will cause nothing but their destruction.
Mission: Retrieve the artifact from the inhabitants of Alteria and return it, thereby stopping the war and restoring order to the world.
Quest Grade: F
Experience Points: 1000 (upon successful mission completion)
Reward Points: 250 (upon successful mission completion)

""Hmmm," Nolan murmured thoughtfully as he examined the information.
The quest was easily understandable.
A world was fighting among themselves over an artifact, and he had to retrieve the artifact to stop the war and save the world from destruction.
All he needed was to arrive in that world, yank away the artifact, and return.
Yet, somehow, he felt it wouldn't be as easy as thought.
Quickly going through the list of worlds he had been taught about in the past few days, he searched for the world of Alteria but found none.
The world wasn't familiar to him, which either meant it wasn't worth his attention or it was a world he hadn't encountered before.
The latter seemed more likely.
"Ten minutes more..." Kitsune called out after a while.
Some of the students began moving back to their spots with mission scrolls in their hands, though some were still frantically checking the scrolls and running around the area.
Nolan couldn't help but look at them as if they were fools.
And truly, they were fools.
If only they knew what he knew, perhaps they would be able to at least save themselves from looking completely ridiculous to Kitsune.
"Last minute!" Kitsune called out again. Finally, the last person returned to the group with a scroll in his hands.
"Now that you've all taken a scroll, it's time to get back..." she said to them before heading outside the door, and immediately, the students all followed.
Once they arrived outside, the large gate shut down behind them, and they soon arrived before Instructor Doriath, who scanned each and every one of them, making sure they had a scroll in their hands.
"Thank you for the help, Kitsune..." Instructor Doriath called out to the fox lady, who shrugged it off, saying,
"Don't sweat it, Doriath. You just owe me an 'all-on-you' outing for the help..." she said cunningly, and Doriath rolled her eyes before turning back.
"Almost like I already know... cunning fox!" she said to her before moving away, with the students following after behind her.
However, as Nolan moved, he noticed something unusual.
Turning his gaze behind him, he saw the fox lady staring at him with dreamy eyes, her hand placed over her lips as if trying to stifle her laughter.
"I don't trust her..." Nolan mused silently.
[You'd be an idiot to trust a Kitsune in the first place.]
[They might be physically weaker than the average beast, but they are unparalleled when it comes to cunningness.]
the system said, and Nolan shrugged it off before turning his gaze to the front. Since this would be the last time he'd be seeing her anyway, there was no need to fret much.
Soon, they arrived outside the hall and moved on to the second hall in the quest area.
It was none other than the shop hall, and he could guess why they were being taken to the area.
They had been told of everything they needed to know about the quests during the past week.
And now it was time to get things they needed for the mission.
