Chapter 135: TO GET A MISSION FOR POSTGRADUATE ASSESSMENT
TO GET A MISSION FOR POSTGRADUATE ASSESSMENT
The mission center of the Knight Templar Academy was like the mission center of the Conjurer Court where booths were operating here, dishing out missions for rewards of academy assessments.
But the booths here were ranked in alphabetical order.
"Are you new here to the missions center?" someone asked me suddenly.
"Yes, this is the first time I've been here", I replied to him.
"My name is Paris, I've never seen you here before. Are you a new graduate from the academy?" Paris asked me.
"Yes, I graduated from class yesterday", I replied to him.
"That is odd, the semester shouldn't end in half a year's time", he said to me.
"It's an early discharge because most of my classmates couldn't complete the semester", I replied to him.
"I didn't know the academy allows an early discharge", he said to me when he realized all the people in the mission center were looking at us.
"Why are everyone looking at us in a weird way?" Paris asked me in surprise.
"Hey, what is your problem?" Paris asked those around us when they quickly ran away.
"Why are the people acting so strange today?" he asked.
"Now, how does the system here work?" I asked Paris.
The missions from the Knight Templar Academy are graded from G to A, G being the entry level missions which progresses to A missions which are the most difficult ones", Paris told me.
"Do you mean that booth over there gives out A mission?" I asked him as I pointed to the last booth in the center.
"We don't go over there usually. The staff there are unkind to those who waste their time", Paris told me.
"Oh. Thanks", I replied to him as I walked toward the A mission booth.
Suddenly, many students and graduates walked behind me, following me to the A mission booth, curious about what I would do there, including Paris.
"Hey Paris, why are you talking the Bully? Do you want to end up in the hospital for a month?" someone beside Paris asked him quietly.
"What? He's someone I met on the way here. Who is he?" Paris asked innocently.
"Don't you know, he is the Bully of Starri, the monster of the academy", the other guy replied to Paris who was shocked by the revelation.

"I want to take an A mission", I told the person managing the A mission booth.
"Who do you think you are? The A mission is only for the ranked knights of the academy. I've never seen you before. Get lost before I make you", the guy rudely said to me.
"Hey, new guy, you should get back here. Don't piss off the administrators of the A mission booth", Paris asked me from behind.
"I'll give you a chance to say that again", I told the rude guy to the shock of everyone around us.
"How dare you make trouble in my booth, guards beat him up and throw him out of the mission center", the rude guy said as several guards came to arrest me.
"Told you to go while you can. Now you are in trouble", Paris said to me.
"Swish…swoosh"
Suddenly, all the guards who came to arrest me fell to the ground as blood splashed from their bodies.
"Arrggghhhhhh"
"You… how dare you kill our guards?" the guy manning the booth screamed after Cassandra quickly slashed the guards with her cursed Zavalla blade.
Cassandra's blade was cursed. It could cut through almost anything even magic armor with ease and the wound the weapon caused doesn't mend.
The rude guy rushed toward me to teach me a lesson.
"Stop it", someone shouted out loudly and the rude guy stopped.
"He hurt all our guards, he must be punished", the rude guy told the one who stopped him, but she didn't reply to the rude guy.
"What fault did my guards commit that you must punish them, Baron Oriese", the woman asked me politely.
"Baron? Didn't you say you just graduated from academy class? How did you obtain the rank of Baron so quickly?" Paris asked me.
"I bought the title with money", I replied to him when all around us, the students were roused with anger and gossip.
"I came to ask for a mission and that moron sent guards to arrest me, they are lucky I didn't execute them on the spot", I replied to the woman.
"Yes, Baron Oriese, I apologize for not attending to you properly. You should have let us know in advance when you come here. My name is Eugenia, the manageress of the Mission Center of the Knight Templar Academy", Eugenia said to me humbly before she commanded her staff, "bring the wounded guards for treatment immediately".
"I'll go treat those scums otherwise they will die from bleeding", Cassandra told me before she left with the wounded guards to the infirmary.
The rude guy immediately knelt to the floor to beg for forgiveness once he saw how his manageress treated me so courteously.
"Damn, why did I piss off a VIP for no reason", the rude guy complained to himself.
"Why is the manageress treating him so respectfully?" the people around asked.
"Didn't you know, he is the Bully of Starri, and some say, the future patriarch of the Mithridocus family in Eloora city. Who will dare make an enemy out of someone like that? Other than the obviously stupid guy over there", someone answered.

"I came to look for an A mission", I told Eugenia again.
"Baron Oriese, under the rules of the mission center, we do not offer A ranked missions to any student who is not ranked in the Knight Templar ranking of the academy", Eugenia told me.
"Really, I must beat the crap out of those scums before I can take the A mission?" I asked but Eugenia merely apologized to me.
Those were the rules and I respect that.
"Hey, you. Who do you think you are that calls us scum?" someone shouted to me after overhearing my conversation with Eugenia.
"Well, well. Here comes a scum", I said out loud as the entire mission center who could hear it laughed.
"I didn't call me a scum", the scum protested to me as the people around us continued laughing.
"He is Iasonias, ranked ninety on the Knight Templar ranking", Eugenia told me.
"Well, Iasonias, thank you for your ranking", I told Iasonias.
"What are you talking about?" Iasonias asked me.
"He means he wants to fight you in a duel to obtain your ranking", Eugenia informed Iasionias.
"Fight let's fight", Iasonias told us and agreed to our duel.
