Chapter 100: Special Mission (2/2)

Ahem!

The two of them heard the throat-clearing sounds of the headmaster. After officially introducing herself, she also introduced her niece to him. Which Yman had to introduce himself too.

Laura took the initiative to explain the reason for the meeting.

”A bodyguard?” He gawked. This was unexpected. He also noticed the same expression on the face of the beautiful girl in front of him.

”Yes, I needed you to act as her bodyguard for several weeks,” Laura said after sipping her tea.

”A-Aunt? B-But isn't he just an n-new adventurer?” Ella said while trying not to sound rude.

The headmaster seemed to understand her worry. The way she said it as a new adventurer and not newbie means she tried not to be rude to him. Laura glanced at Yman, she noticed that there was no slight change in his countenance. Looks like he too knew that her niece didn't mean to mock him. He has the usual calm demeanor that she saw on him this whole time.

She sighed in relief.

Actually, Yman didn't care if it was meant to mock him or not. What he was more concerned about were the consequences. He might drag himself into danger because of this mission.

Before Yman could speak again, something tickled his ears.

Sistela suddenly said to him via thought communication.

Yman's mouth broke into a soundless laugh, 'Y-You are right,' he replied.

But when Laura told him the rewards, Sistela was the first one who accepted the offer. Even Yman was speechless by the reward. It really was tempting.

”100,000GP and Rank A Level 10 Soul of Advancement?!” Yman and Sistela slack-jawed.

With that much money, he could fully equip Sistela. And with the Rank A Level 10 Soul, he could advance her into the rank of Main Land Deity! In this case, he could finally use her to attack like those spirit beasts. And Rank A to boot! It has the stats equivalent to a Rank A+ Wanderer Monster, Or Rank 6 Spirit Beast in terms of the demi-humans.

To advance the System Deity, not only the user needed to equip their deity with body parts, but the System Deity must also be up-to-date. Their system must be at the newest version of its System OS. But it wasn't just that, like the magicians who needed the Syringe of Advancement in order to breakthrough, the System Deity needed the Level 1-100 Soul of Advancement in order to level. The more soul

the more humanely they become.

Even Sistela was drooling.

Yman scratched his face. Looks like the headmaster really is an expert in baiting.

Although, most people here didn't like the System Deities of humans. Yet the headmaster knew how their power-ups work.

In the end, Yman had to agree too. After all, it could also solve his money issue. He could use the money to buy the needed materials in order to Synthesize medicine.

After gathering all the needed materials, his next problem was to find an Alchemist who could process and Synthesize the medicine for his sister.

But before that, it now depends if the beautiful Miss Ella would accept him as her bodyguard for several weeks.

”I accept him as my bodyguard if he joins tomorrow's Clash of Strength and defeats his first opponent in a domineering way,” Ella firmly suggested.

Well, for her, that duel a while ago wasn't valid since it was only a duel and it was like a child's play compared to the real tournament.

And his enemy even though gold rank adventurer, he was only using a rank 1 and rank 2 Spirit Beast. It was that guy's fault for looking down on his opponent. But the great noble of the empire would never make such a mistake. Certainly, many nobles would be joining tomorrow's Clash Of Strength, since it was one of the most popular tournaments in the empire.

She even heard from Hannah that most of their Elite magician students from year 1 to year 3 would be joining.

Yman scratched the back of his head while nodding.

He wasn't really planning on joining it. But now he had to.

'And what the heck is winning in a domineering way? Do I need another butt-kicking?!' He thought.
