Chapter 227: Tier 2 quest (1/2)

( virtual world , Purplehaze city )

Rudra had just wrapped up his duties as manager of the city , he would probably be out for the next 7 days on the tier promotion quest , hence he made sure to complete enough work for that period of absence.

Rudra knew about the tier two promotion quest for the Knight class , it could be issued from the knight training hall in Purplehaze city , however unlike tier one promotion, it did not involve a series of tests , but a single pass or fail quest , where the evaluation of the quest would be done on the basis of completion.

For others tier 2 promotion was probably the easiest of all tier promotion exams , however for Rudra , who needed to only get SSS rating , in accordance to his promise to Patricia , the tier 2 promotion quest was a nightmare , as a single mistake and he would fall down to a SS rating.

While most players would mistake the tier two promotion quest as a regular quest , Rudra knew better , the knight training hall evaluators would disguise themselves as normal people , and meet the quest undertaker at various parts in the quest. Evaluating the decisions made by the quest undertaker.

The evaluation criteria was based not only on skills and actual completion of the mission , but also had hidden tests such as test of valour , test of honor and test of courage.

And in all such situations one could not make a single mistake , one could not break the appearance of a dignified knight for a single moment , else the evaluation would drop from SSS To Ss or below.

There were basically only three types of missions given :

1) firstly there was the escort mission , where a noble was supposed to be escorted to a neighbour city.

The catch was that the noble would be a member of the knights division playing the part of an arrogant young master , who would constantly abuse and mistreat the accompanying adventurer.

If the knight undertaking the test lost his temper and attacked the noble they would fail the test.

2) Delivering precious goods : A sealed box would be given to be delivered to a location in a nearby city , at the time of taking the quest the quest undertaker would be informed to not open and check the contents of the box.

If the adventurer succumbed to basic desires and opened the box to see its contents , they would be failed.

This test was to determine the mental strength of a knight , to check their mental strength to resist basic desires.

3) Bandit camp eradication mission : the toughest of all three missions , as the quest undertaker had to go to a nearby bandit camp to get rid of the bandits there.

The challenge of the mission was that , although the bandits robbed people , they did so because they lived in utter poverty and had no food or farmland , they needed to hunt to survive .
