Nathan took a look at the mission.
[Mission: Bandit Subjugation.]
[Description: Wind Calling Bandit is a notorious bandit group who has been terrorizing the land of Alba. Please subjugate them.]
[Reward: 20 Gold Coins.]
Nathan raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong with this mission? It gives a lot of reward.”
“This Wind Calling Bandit is not a normal bandit group. They are notorious for their actions. Most importantly, it’s said that this bandit is led by a group of summoners. They are failed summoners who think that there’s nothing good in this world anymore.
“According to the information, they are a pretty strong group. There are approximately 6-7 summoners in their group.
“I thought this would be perfect since Selena would be with you, but it seemed I was wrong.”
“What’s their strength?” Nathan asked.
“One of them is able to take down a mature class demon.”
“Where do you get that information?”
“It’s because of where they’re staying. And this is the exact reason they’re going to give 20 gold coins for the bandit subjugation alone. We’re not counting the bounty on their heads.
“They’re staying in Lave Forest, which is near the border.”
“The border, huh?” Nathan crossed his arms.
“As you might have suspected, they’re hiding in the alien area. From what we know, this forest has three mature class aliens. One of them is found dead when the scout is trying to locate them.
“As such, we’re assuming that one of them has the strength of a mature class alien. And it’s most likely this guy.” He took out a bounty paper.
It showed a portrait of a middle-aged man with a scar running from his right eyebrow to his right cheek.
He had a beard and looked like a ferocious animal.
“Davei. 42 years old summoner. He was a former mercenary who was betrayed by his group.
“He was formerly known as the Lightning Davei due to his lightning spirit familiar.
“Still, his talent is quite bad and because of the lack of resources, he can only summon a total of six familiars. I also have their wanted posters here.” Sullivan took out six posters, showing their name, bounty, and their basic information.
“Why do you assume there’s a seventh member?”
“That’s all I get from them. You need to meet the noble to get that information.”
“I see…” Nathan closed his eyes for a moment.
“This mission looks a bit dangerous. What about our teammates?”
“Two first-year students and one second-year student.” Sullivan gave their information as well.
“The first-year students are not as important. They have a quite good reputation and strength, but they’re not enough to handle a mature class alien.
“The second-year student is pretty high-ranking in his academy, so he might be able to take down a mature class alien by himself.”
Nathan pinched the bridge of his nose. “The problem is not the first-year student. It’s the second-year student. Not only do we have to take down this bandit group, but we have to separate these three so that we can check on them.”
Nathan couldn’t help but recall the discussion between him and Evelyn when she handed over the list.
“Take a look at them. Since we’re going to check on them, it means I will bring Bella with me. Since we’ll be checking their bodies, we can go with Sonia, who is good at dissecting people.
“Your familiar will be in charge of healing them, making sure they have no scar.
“The process itself might take about thirty minutes for one of them.”
Nathan thought, ‘Thirty minutes, huh? It might not look a lot, but thirty minutes is impossible during the day. In other words, I need to strike at night.
‘How should I separate them? While making sure they’re not waking up, especially that second-year student. He is quite strong, so it’s clear that his awareness is pretty high. In this case, we have to avoid anything to alert him.

‘Still, does he even get kidnapped? He’s pretty strong, right?’ Nathan crossed his arms in confusion. ‘If the terrorists managed to kidnap him without alerting him, when did they attack…’
Nathan suddenly fell silent.
“Nathan? Are we going to kidnap them first or help them?”
Nathan glanced at Sera before an idea popped into his mind.
“Ah! You! You are the key, Sera!” A big smile appeared on his face.
“I’m the key?”
“Yes. We definitely can do it. We’ll kidnap them after the subjugation. Pack up your luggage. We’ll be heading straight to the meeting place. When is the mission again?”
“Tomorrow in Elvean City. Baron Titus is the one governing this land. They are expecting all of you to arrive at his mansion tomorrow morning.”
“In that case, we’ll head there in the evening. There should be an inn in that city, right?”
“Yes. The affiliated inn is there, so you can stay there for free.”
“Got it.” Nathan nodded. “In that case, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to leave.”
“There’s one thing that you need to know.” Sullivan took out another document. “These are the deeds that the bandits have done. All the damage they’ve inflicted. So, you don’t have to hesitate to fight or kill them.” freēwebnovel.com
“Understood.” Nathan immediately grabbed all that information to study it further. After that, he took his leave with Sera.
Sera pointed at herself while asking, “You said I’d be the key in separating them. What am I supposed to do? You’re not asking me to seduce them, right?”
“Of course not. You are the saintess, so talking to you should be quite an honor for them. As a result, there’s no need to separate them. Anyway, I’ll tell you about the plan later. I’m going to visit the student council first.” Without hesitation, Nathan dashed to the student council, leaving Sera alone.
Sera crossed her arms with a wry smile. “Seriously. If only he treats me that way too… Even after I tell him I will do anything for him as long as he agrees to help me.”
