My Dragon System

Chapter 206 - First Quest

After leaving the inn, Jack and Gary decided to do as Ray asked and started to head towards the Guild hall. On the way there, they passed many different stalls that sold all sorts of things including food.

Jack placed his hand on his belly as he heard it growl a few times realizing he was a lot hungrier than he thought.

"Sorry man, we don't have any money, like Ray said we need to start earning coin on our own," Gary said.

They continued to walk past all the market stalls until they had eventually reached the Guild hall.

"I guess we head to notice board," Gary said unsure of what to do.

Neither Jack or Gary had been an adventurer before and it was their first time taking a quest. The two of them walked up to the notice board and noticed that all the Quests had been split up into different categories depending on their rank.

That's when Gary spotted a quest that was requested by Lilly in the D section.

A duel shall take place in the midlands hunting grounds. Your job will be to escort and protect a party.

The request placed made it sound like a simple task to attract as many people as possible, there was also a generous reward for the quest. Lilly had placed the quest for the duel that was to take place a week later between Ray and the Demon man.

Just then a young man noticed Ray looking at the quest.

"I think that quest is a bit out of your league," the young man said.

The man looked to be twenty at most, he had short brown spikey hair and was wearing a bandana on his head.

"The names Mike," Mike said as held out his hand.

"Gary," Gary replied shaking his hand back.

"Just to warn you, even if you could take that quest not many people are going for It, rumours are going around that it has something to do with the shadow plague. The quest Rank should be higher for something like that so not many people are interested."

Gary thought as much, most likely these rumours were being spread by members of Fallen angle themselves.

"I and my friend here are kind of new, do you know what quests we're allowed to do?"

Mike looked carefully at Gary's tag and noticed it said F.

"Yikes, you're really only allowed to do Quests that are in your rank, But most of the F class quests are just gathering items or helping out around the city. You won't get much F class quest slaying beasts around here."

Gary hated the idea of helping people out with moving their furniture or going to collect herbs. He had trained hard every day to become a knight and fight, not to do chore work.

"I can see you're a bit upset by that." Mike said, "Your weapons look decent, are you two good fighters?"

Gary looked at Jack before answering.

"Yeah, we can hold our own."

"That's great!" Mike said excitedly, "Our group has been looking to complete a D class party quest but we only have 4 members, with you two it would be great."

"Will we be able to get a reward and points?" Gary asked

"Yeah of course, as long as there are D rank adventures in your party, you can take the quest and the reward will be split equally."

"Then I look forward to working with you."

Mike then left to go inform the other members of his team while Jack and Gary waited out front. The Quest was to deal with a bunch of pigmen who had been disturbing a nearby mine west of the city.

Truthfully, Gary, and Jack felt like they could have done it themselves.

But according to the guild's rules even if they had completed the quest, they wouldn't have been able to get the reward money or the points to rank up if they did that. So they were lucky that someone like Mike had come along and was happy to hire a random bunch of F Ranks.

Gary thought it was a shame that Ark had decided to not Join the Red wings. After being kicked out from the Fallen angles and nowhere to go, Ray had made an offer to Ark.

In the end, Ark said he needed more time to think about it, but would still join the group in a week. After the duel, he would give Ray his answer.

If Ark was to join the team, then that would mean they would have a C class adventurer in their guild allowing them to take C class quests. Then Gary and Jack would be able to take higher quests and earn more money getting their ranks up quicker but for now, they would just have to do it slowly.

After waiting out front for a while, Mike had eventually arrived with two females and a man standing behind him, each of them wielding a bow and arrow. Mike was the only person who held a shield and sword.

"Was this the best you could get Mike?" a short female said looking at the two of them and their tags.

"Now, relax, there aren't too many people left in the city that isn't part of Fallen angel and Boro Boro. Besides we need more Melee types, I can't be the only one out there on the front lines."

The girl pouted and looked away while Mike laughed nervously.

"Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it, it's understandable after all were F Ranks." Gary replied.

Although Mike's friends thought Gary and Jack were a waste of space, Mike thought differently. The white sword Gary held around his waist was at least at the advanced tier and although he wasn't sure about Jack's equipment, to be able to wield a sword as large as his own body he had to have incredible strength or at least know how to use Ki.

"Well then, Let's get going, shall we?" Mike said with a smile.
