69 Strangeness in the Sub-quests (1/2)

After Aizu awakened and Serka confirmed that she was very well, Yale lost one of the two main worries he had after the volcanic cave incident.

At that moment he could finally focus on his other worry, his new sub-quest.

After finishing the previous one, a new one appeared as usual, but it was completely different from the other sub-quests he had in the past.

”Sub-quest details not available. Reward: Unknown.”

With that kind of description, Yale didn't know what would he need to do to complete the sub-quest.

The last sub-quest was easy to understand and very easy to accomplish in his current situation; the contrast with the one following it was too big.

The sub-quests had been quite normal before entering into the special realm, but the two sub-quests which appeared inside were different than usual.

After all, if Yale hadn't go to the special realm, there was no way he would kill someone, even if that person were evil. The laws of the Nacesai Academy would restrict him.

Yale was starting to think that the sub-quests in the Main Chain Quest weren't fixed as he had considered initially, maybe those were like the Dynamic Quests and could adapt to Yale's situation.

Yale didn't have proof of that, but at least the situation would seem less weird thinking that way.

”It seems that the only way to advance is climbing a mountain to reach the other side.”

Kermu words stopped Yale's thoughts, as Kermu said it seemed that reaching another area without crossing the mountain range was difficult due to the shape of the zone.

”I am bad at climbing.”

Serka complained as her climbing skill were almost the worst of the group.

The one who had the worst ability to climb was Aizu, after hearing that they would need to climb the mountain range she started sweating, but she didn't dare to complain.

Nurvey had enough boost spells to make climbing as easy as walking if she used all of them on herself and Hyrk had the best physical body and also knew few methods to reinforce it, for them climbing wasn't a big deal.

Yale and Kermu were the most versatile of the group and didn't have problems with climbing a mountain.

However, Yale knew Aizu's physical prowess as he knew that she was the weakest of the group. On the other hand, Kermu was concerned by Serka, his fiancée because he also knew that she was terrible at such activities even if partially was because of her mental suggestion. However, he couldn't think of another method at the moment.

”How about starting to advance into a mountain and we try to find some tunnel? If we fail, then we will need to climb the mountain, but as this realm was something created by an elder the chances that a tunnel exists are high.”

That was Yale idea and the girls who didn't want to climb had their eyes sparkling because if there were a tunnel, they wouldn't need to climb.

Kermu also agreed to the idea, they would need to advance more into the mountain to climb after all, so Yale's idea was optimal and wouldn't waste time while made Aizu and Serka happy.

Hyrk and Nurvey didn't mind about how they advance, climbing or finding a tunnel was the same for them.

However, they didn't know that Yale was sure about the tunnel existence because after hearing Kermu's words about climbing, the system had changed the sub-quest description.

”Find a tunnel that traverses the mountain range and exit by the other side. Reward: Vitality and Strength increase.”

That update in the sub-quest description and reward was enough proof to Yale that the sub-quests had changed their functionality since he entered the special realm, the sub-quests were really working like the Dynamic Quests, and Yale had no idea about the reason.

In only one hour the group really found a tunnel, Yale wasn't surprised by it, but the others couldn't believe their good luck.

Especially, Serka and Aizu were extremely happy about finding a tunnel; they had avoided climbing the mountain.

While the others were happy or surprised, Yale started to worry, since there was a reward for reaching the other side, it couldn't be a standard tunnel with no danger inside. Thus, he decided to say a reminder in case the others were overconfident.

”We still need to be careful; the tunnel may have dangers inside.”

Everyone agreed, they didn't forget that they were in a special realm where everywhere was a potential grave to them.
