A while later, Kyle entered the mission hall. The hall was bustling with students of different years, trying to find a suitable mission.
He looked at the big mission board present at the edge of the hall and after finding a suitable mission for himself, he went over to the side of the hall designated for new students. freewebnovel.cσ๓
The hall was divided into three parts, the right side was for the new first-year students, the one in the middle was for the second-year students and the one on the left was for third-year students.
There were a lot of missions available to new students, including some chores from the seniors like washing their clothes or cleaning their dorm for points.
After looking at all the missions available, Kyle decided to go with the easiest one which he felt he could handle, and also because the location of the mission coincided with the place he wanted to go.
Kyle approached the Young man sitting behind the reception before handing him the mission page.
“Hello, I would like to take this mission.”
The young man glanced at Kyle strangely, because not many would pick up a mission like ‘herb collecting’. Nevertheless, he took the mission page Kyle tore off the board before going through some papers.
He registered Kyle’s name for the mission before speaking,
“This mission was posted a week ago, you have two weeks to complete the mission and return with the item.”
All the missions present inside the mission hall had a time limit on them, which is why the students were required to finish the mission within the given time.
“Okay”
After nodding Kyle left the mission hall, directly heading toward the exit of the Academy.
Soon he walked out of the Academy, Kyle turned around and stared at the majestic gates.
He still finds it unbelievable that he got into one of the biggest academies of the Kingdom. Just a week ago he was thinking of living his whole life depending on his family because he knew he was weak. Never in his wildest dream he would have imagined that after entering the Academy he would find such a big secret about himself.
Kyle clenched his fists now that he have a chance he won’t stay as a pathetic loser anymore. He didn’t hope to become the strongest, he would be happy even if his bloodline gave him (S)-Rank talent.
The one thing he hated the most was being looked down upon by others. After his mother’s death, he wasn’t a complete loner, he had few friends. It was only after the talent test that everyone left him, just because he had a weaker talent.
He thought about his father and brothers, they were always by his side supporting and encouraging him. Even after he awakened a (B)-Rank talent, they never stopped caring about him. Kyle was not sure if the ‘Red snow flower’ would work. But still, now that he has hope, he promised himself to become someone his family would be proud of.
Kyle shook his head and stopped thinking, it was not the right time to think about all this. And without wasting any more time he left, heading straight toward the back mountain.
It took him 4 hours just to reach the base of the mountain, and as described in the book a large forest that spammed over several kilometers appeared before his view. As Kyle reached the entrance of the forest, he chose to enter without even thinking twice.
Some might think Kyle was being too impatient and disregarded the danger present inside the mountain, but this was not true at all.
The mountains surrounding the Academy indeed had monsters but due to the student’s continued hunting for the past so many years, it was very rare to see a monster inside the mountains. But if you climb high enough to reach the top of the mountain there is a 10% chance of seeing some high-rank monsters.
Still, the monsters present at the top of the mountain were living there for a long time and rarely attacked others. Not until they were disturbed. And because Kyle had no plan to disturb them he deemed it a very safe journey.
Due to it being his first time traveling on feet for so long Kyle was exhausted but he decided to grit his teeth for his future. The expression on his face showed he wouldn’t stop until he found the ‘Red snow flower’.
One hour later,
Kyle who was determined to reach the top of the mountain without taking a break, could be seen sitting beside a small pond filled with water. His determination only lasted an hour before he decided to take a break.
‘Humans are born to take breaks, if they didn’t then who will? Anyway, it’s not like the Red snow flower would run away if I took a break.’
Kyle thought inwardly before taking out some cooking ingredients from his storage ring and lighting up a fire.
