111 Adventurers Tavern (1/2)

---

”Alright…”

After I finished tying the assassin together, I casted a simple technique which shaved off a few months of my lifespan, but that's fine since in exchange their memories will be replaced by something else entirely.

Once they wake up, they would recall meeting someone powerful before they even met me, then this expert would beat the crap out of them simply because he was in bad mood.

And since this is a made up memory, they won't be able to track this person no matter how much bounty the place on him. Well, Mort Family wasting their money into a fruitless search is something that I won't mind seeing.

Oh and I also placed a sign on the rope which reads: 'Please return us to our Pig Boss, Zelor Mort.'

That should make that pig's mood down, which brings happiness to me. That is, of course if a crowd saw them like this, and oh I made sure that it would be so…

I patted my hands clean and walked out of the scene, they should be waking up after an hour or if someone woke them up.

Adventurer's Tavern, so this is the place huh.

The facility looked like an over-sized hut for some reason, also hidden from the bustle of the crowd, I never visited this place before so I don't know what's the reason behind this but it's not my business.

I walked up to the door and gave it a slight push. It made a loud creaking sound as it slid and inside, I saw several people looking at me with a questioning expression.

”Hello, My name's Raven. May I know who's in-charge?”

There were three people inside, they looked at each other before the one sitting at the center table stood up and said: ”I am. What do you want?”

Not saying anything, I gave him the contents of the Monthly Mission instead.

He grabbed the scroll and unfolded it. After reading its contents for a while, he gazed at me deeply…and then back at the scroll, he gazed at me again, and back to the scroll again. This action of his happened multiple times before I heard him sigh…

”The institute's really fucked…to think they would send a kid for this mission.” He said softly while shaking his head, then he gave back the scroll to me.

I was close to him so I heard him say that, but I was surprised that someone actually heard him aside from me.

”Oh come on! Really? First they give us a dangerous mission which we never asked for then they would send a kid? Are they playing with us right now?” This was the the guy who was reading a thick book at the corner. His words then provoked the last one to talk as well.

”Unbelievable, they sent a kid to his death. Ugh…” This is a woman who was cleaning her nails on the opposite side.

”Listen up here kid…” The man in-charge narrowed his eyes and spoke seriously. ”Go back, tell them to switch the contents of your mission. You will die if you step outside of the walls.”

I scoffed inwardly, I really want to slap his mouth for some reason, I never liked it when people talk to me this way. But, he's doing this because he doesn't want me to charge towards my death, which I appreciate. And it's not like he knew that I experienced soul rebirth anyway.

”Uh, I think you're forgetting something here.” I said while faking a wry smile. ”The mission is final, no switching. Could tell me more details about the mission first?”

”Oh boy. Can't you understand? This concerns you life! We're telling you to drop this mission in order to save you? God! How could someone in Genius Class be so stupid!?” The woman frowned and commented on the side.

I don't like her already.

”I certainly understand your sentiments, Lady. However, I am confident that the institute won't hand any unreasonable or certain death missions to its students. According to the contents of the mission, the task is only a reconnaissance and it's within the five kilometer radius of the walls, which is still relatively safe. The only instances that will place this mission on a more dangerous level is that if you people wanted to do more than recon. Which places us back to the main reason why I'm here. I want to know more details about the mission first before taking up your further suggestions.”

There was a period of silence after I spoke. They probably wasn't expecting a child to retort them like I did. This goes specially well with the woman who is apparently displeased.

Be happy woman! This is as polite as I could get! Don't try my patience.
