I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 320: Hunter Mission ( 2 )

The content of the mission that Yasmin took was to simply hunt 20 Inferno Wolves and 10 Man-Eating Eagles in the mountain range near the Islefield Fortress.

She has to collect their fangs and beaks as proof and the rest of the beasts' body parts can be dealt with however she wants. 

Aside from that, she needs to coordinate with the Hunter Association's branch there to ensure that she wouldn't just purchase the proof and that she'll really hunt them.

This is quite an important mission considering how they need to lessen the number of strong beasts around the Northern Region.

"Can we help you kill these beasts?" Aria asked curiously.

They are now in the carriage traveling to the fortress and were discussing Yasmin's mission. Lyrei was still their driver at this point since she could easily control the horses and monitor their condition.

Anyway, Aria doesn't know anything about how the Hunter Association operates.

She knows that there is a ranking system or star levels within the Association but her knowledge is only at the superficial level.

Yasmin smiled at her question and explained her plans. 

"It should be fine. Well, according to the branch representative I spoke with, their main concern is just to hunt down these troublesome beasts before the Dark Elves marches to the central region... As long as I do not purchase the collected parts from the merchants or peddlers, they wouldn't mind it for sure."

"I see So it won't affect your promotion. That's good to hear." Aria said after hearing her explanation.

"Right It would be great to have a friend in the Hunter Association with a higher rank. I will do my best to help." Stella joined the conversation as she chuckled a little. 

It is indeed true that she doesn't know any members of the Hunter Association that are three-star or higher. Of course, even Aria would be glad to have someone like that in her friends. 

"How long before you can get promoted to a Three Star Hunter?" Aria asked as she handed over the copy of the mission request that Yasmin showed. 

"Hmm I still need to complete a total of four C-Rank Missions if I completed this one."

"Oh? Then shouldn't accept four of these missions instead." Stella asked.

"Well, if this is E-Rank or lower, I can accept multiple of them at once. However, D-Rank missions and higher ones can only be accepted once. I need to complete the mission first before getting another one at this level."

"Oh? I didn't know that they have this kind of rule. Anyway, this should be easy even without our help. Your pistol is so powerful and it feels like you're cheating. Haha!"

Aria joked for a bit as she recalled how strange and destructive this popular Arcana was.

She's actually a bit jealous of this and she's now thinking of asking Chrisome to make a Magic Item similar to a pistol for her.

'Well, the others must've thought of this already. I wonder if there's already a successful copy of this' Aria pondered as she unconsciously glanced at Yasmin's holster on her thighs. 

***

The situation in the northern region has calmed down after the Dark Elves decided to settle in the half-ruined Isengard Fortress.

Unfortunately, the intense battle between the elite Dark Elves and the members of the Night Brigade resulted in severe damages around the buildings and walls resulting in its current state. 

Apparently, the Evil Beasts that the Dark Elves controlled barely threatened their army. Only upon the appearance of the elites that they've realized that the Beast Wave of this year is completely different from the other years. 

"How was our request for reinforcement?" General Julian asked in a tired voice. He seems to have aged a lot after his recent battle. His armor was damaged, his vigorous aura was no longer there, and his Sword Arcana can no longer be seen on his waist.

He may not be worrying about the Three-Eyed Imp Cult who had seemingly vanished into thin air, but unfortunately, he was now troubled with the Dark Elves who had replaced them. 

"The Hunter and Arcanist Association have already posted several requests. As of now, more than 200 have been reported to have accepted the missions related to joining the ranks of the army. On the other hand, about a thousand of them decided to only accept missions to clear out the Evil Beasts in the selected areas around the region." 

Trisha, one of General Julian's trusted commanders, reported beside him. They are currently using the conference hall inside the Islefield Fortress. 

The other people in the room are two middle-aged men who are the representatives of this Fortress and one Knight clad in full black armor who is brimming with confidence and power.

The large room is quite empty as there are only a total of five of them inside. 

All the members of the Night Brigade have unfortunately perished under the hands of the strongest warrior of the Dark Elves who is an expert with the sword. 

"Julian It's quite interesting to see you in this current state. The Elite members of the Cult have never defeated you like this. Just how strong are these guys?" The man in full black armor said as he even sounded like he's teasing the general.

"Icarion You might be laughing at me now But once you faced that Dark Elf, I'm sure that you won't be able to smile like that."

Julian gave a meaningful glance at the man he just called Icarion. 

On the other hand, Trisha was actually surprised after hearing his name. Everyone knows of his existence after all. 

Starting from Knight to Knight-Lieutenant it would take talent and skills to be promoted. On the other hand, to become a Knight-Captain requires a certain level of leadership skills and influence.

To be promoted as a Knight Commander or even a Marshal requires a lot of missions to be completed and undeniable power that could control the whole Knights Order. 

Finally, becoming a Knight Champion is extremely difficult as it was said that even a single one of them could defeat an entire battalion of Knights alone!

Right now, the man in front of her is Icarion, one of the Knight Champions of Chaos Knights!
