Chapter 860: The Opening Of The Mission Hall



A few days later, the Mission Hall was once again opened, offering students missions they could take outside of the academy.

Truth be told, there were some opinions claiming that the Mission Hall should remain closed this year due to the threat of the Fomorians.

However, after careful consideration, Professor Rinehart decided to let the students take missions, especially the First Years, because until the threat was upon them, it would be best if they could gain experience in the field.

Since the Academy might become the battlefield for the war, it was important that all students, even those who had just enrolled in the academy, were ready to defend themselves.

The combat-oriented classes had all stepped up their game, encouraging the students to duel with their Professors and each other, allowing them to get a better feel of what real combat was like.

Ethan eyed the Mission Hall with nostalgia. Thinking about it, this was where everything began.

His first mission, a supposedly simple task to escort a client, didn't proceed according to what he had in mind.

They were attacked by a bandit group led by rogue wizards, forcing him and Lily to enter a Nexus that took them back to the past, where he was hailed as the Tidebringer.

Everything that happened back then felt like a lifetime ago, and yet, the events were still fresh in his mind as if they had just happened yesterday.

"What's wrong, Brother?" Joanne, whom Ethan had accompanied to the Mission Hall, asked. "Are you worried about the gazes of the guys that are looking in our direction?"

"Hmm?" Ethan glanced at his surroundings and noticed that many First Years were looking in his direction.

It took him a while to understand why they were looking in his direction, and when the realization hit him, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face.

Currently, he was holding hands with Joanne and Princess Ramona, who asked him to escort them to the Mission Hall.

Most of the First Years, as well as the upper years, had their eyes on the two beautiful ladies, who had shown great potential during the Initiation Ceremony.

Although Joanne was still young, it was obvious that she would grow up to become a very powerful witch. Naturally, no one wanted to wait for other people to take a step ahead in trying to win her good graces.

Princess Ramona, on the other hand, was also their object of affection.

Her Magic was extremely powerful-albeit with a big downside-but she couldn't really use it, for any other spell aside from body strengthening spells would summon a random Elemental that would nearly a hundred percent attack the lady.

But that downside didn't stop anyone from thinking that since her magic was extremely powerful, her bloodline might help increase the prestige of their own bloodline if she agreed to their marriage proposal.

"I think it's good," Princess Ramona replied. "I also want to see the land of the Beastkin where Master was born."

Lily had told Princess Ramona that she should call her sister because they would become part of the same family in the future.

However, the Princess couldn't bring herself to do it, and asked Lily if she could still call her 'Master' until she got used to the idea of calling her 'Sister'.

Lily didn't mind, so she agreed with Princess Ramona's request.

However, while the two young ladies had already made up their mind, Ethan was feeling a bit

anxious.

Just like what Princess Ramona had said, his first mission was a mere escort mission, yet it turned out to be a battle of life and death.

At that thought, he was feeling conflicted whether he should send the two girls to take on

such a mission.

"Don't be such a worrywart, Brother," Joanne, who seemed to understand what her brother was thinking, confidently patted her chest. "Don't worry, since there are three other teams aside from us, we will be able to overcome any problems. Also, Ramona and I are not weak. We can handle a few Rogue Wizards without problems."

A few minutes later, Ethan sighed before nodding in agreement.

"Okay," Ethan replied. "But be careful. Confidence is a good trait. Overconfidence is not. Just

be careful on this mission, okay?"

""Yes!""

Both girls replied in unison, and Joanne hurriedly ran over to one of the staff members to have

their mission approved.

When he was certain that the two girls were out of earshot, Ethan ordered Dainsleif to guard

both of them.

With the Ancient Wendigo watching over the two young ladies, Ethan would be able to have some peace of mind. His Ancient Wendigo was undoubtedly a powerful monster, which only a handful of people in the Shire Continent might be able to defeat.
