48 Mission Details. (1/2)

Master Borin sighed in relief when he saw that Ozul was willing to comply with his request. Moreover, he needed their strength for this mission.

The only downside would be to convince the higher-ups. Borin sighed as he began to explain;

”The mission is issued personally by Duke Edwin! It shows the importance he placed in it.”- Borin wanted the kids in front of him to know the significance of the task.

”Explain the details already...”- Ozul said with a deadpan face. He didn't have time for this bullsh*t.

”So it's like this... Duke Edwin wouldn't give the exact details, but there are some locations that he wants us to 'explore'.”

”He also specified that the mission details should not, in any circumstances, leak out. So, you will have to sign this contract for me to explain the situation.”- Borin also couldn't just reveal all the information.

The contract was a Magical Item. This Magical Item, when signed by someone, will send a streak of Mana in that person's body. That streak of Mana would then bind itself with the heart of that person.

Every human had Heart in them! So this Magical Binding Item was practical on every human!

The prerequisite was that the person in question had to sign the Item himself and willingly. If the contract is activated, all the clauses automatically apply to the user.

He or she will then not be able to escape the punishment if the contract is breached.

Ozul read all the conditions. The contract only stated that if they were to in any way reveal the contents of this mission, they would die.

Since there was nothing too harsh, Ozul had no problem signing it. There was no reason for him to divulge the information for some petty money.

To tell the truth, he wasn't even interested in the rewards. Ozul only wanted to know the mission details. He asked for the pen from Borin.

Borin seemed to hesitate as the contracts such as this were only signed by the team leaders. He looked towards Blaze and Raven, but he only received cold gazes in return.

”Young man, I don't want to sound rude. But only the team leaders sign the contracts.”- Borin professionally stated.

But just as he said this, the temperature in the room drop at an alarming rate! Borin readied himself as he felt like some enemy had attacked!

”What?! You think Master is not competent enough to be the team leader!?”- Blaze couldn't accept any more disrespect towards Ozul from these people.

His words dumbfounded Borin. The guy he thought to be the leader was calling this 'not-even-a-Mage' kid his Master?! Nani?!

But then he remembered how Blaze and Raven behaved around this guy. He couldn't understand how this kid was the leader, but being a professional as he was, he quickly collected himself.

He was also a Rank-5 Mage, but he had a feeling that if he were to fight Blaze or Raven, the result would not be in his favor.

”*Cough* Hahaha... I was just joking. Here take this pen.”- He may have his pride as a Rank-5 Mage and the Branch Master, but losing two Rank-5 Mages because of that would cause him extreme pain!

He didn't even ask why they followed the not-even-a-Mage kid and quickly handed the pen to him.

Ozul knew how the contracts worked, so he took the pen and wrote 'Ozul' at the bottom right corner of the paper.

He had read about these types of Magical Items. As expected, the streak of Mana shot right into him from the parchment.

Seeing the wisp of Mana entering Ozul's body, Borin knew that the contract was established.

However, Ozul knew better because he noticed that when the wisp of Mana entered his body, it couldn't find any Heart to bind with!

How could the Craftsmen who created these Magical Items know that there is an anomaly in this world that has no Heart?!

The wisp of Mana just stayed there without doing anything.

Ozul wanted to expel it right away, but he thought that Borin might notice it and ask countless stupid questions.

Since the contract was 'established', Borin started explaining the details;

”The higher-ups also did not provide me with sound information. They said that Duke Edwin wanted us to bring something back.”-

”Something? Did they not even explain what is it?”- Raven asked.
