At this moment, Leo was currently on public carriage heading towards the Silver city’s west sewer, specifically the West Sewer Management, since he needed to go over there first in order for him to have access to the west sewer.

(Author’s note: I’m separating the carriages into ‘public carriages’ for the carriages that a person can ride like a taxi, and just plain ‘carriage’ for the personal carriages)

The mission that Leo had accepted was to clean the sewer. It wasn’t really an easy job, but he was different, since he can simply summon an Elemental to do anything he ordered.

After more than 30 minutes, Leo finally arrived in a two story building with a sign ‘West Sewer Management’. He then walked inside to proceed with the mission that he had accepted.

Arriving inside the West Sewer Management building, a man in his forties wearing a hat with a Light stone attached to its top quickly greeted Leo, “I’m Brian, the head of the West Sewer Management of Silver City.” He put forward his hand.

“Leo Heart!” Leo said as he shook the man’s hand in response.

Brian nodded his head as he motioned for Leo to follow him to his office table.

“May I know which mission you have accepted?” Brian quickly asked. There were a lot of mission that the East Sewer Management had submitted to the Job Bulletin, hence he needed to asked in order for him to know which one did Leo accepted.

Leo immediately took out the Official Seal of Acceptance that Angel had handed to him as he gave it to Brian.

Brian quickly took the Official Seal of Acceptance as he then unfolded the letter to read the content.

“Ohhh… This is the task that I handed personally to the Sword and Magic. The clean here doesn’t actually mean to clean the place literally, but to clean as in eliminating the Magical Beast that were hiding in the west sewer. And the points isn’t just 10 points here too, but actually 10 points each Magical Beast that you have killed.” Brian soon after explained to Leo the real meaning behind the ‘clean the west sewer’ mission.

To be honest, there were already a lot of people that had tried to accept this mission. But, they backed out immediately as soon as they realized that it was actually to kill Magical Beast instead of cleaning the west sewer. Though there were some that had accepted it, it still wasn’t enough to solve the problem.

There were still a lot of Magical Beast inside the west sewer that will attack their workers from time to time despite all the killings the past students had done. It was causing Brian a headache, hence the reason why he had handed it to Sword and Magic to solve the problem.

Leo was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing that the mission was actually to eliminate the Magical Beast hiding around west sewer. He immediately fixed himself back though, as he soon realized that it was only reasonable.

Sending such mission to Sword and Magic was indeed very reasonable. Aside from being a business organization, the Sword and Magic was also at the same time a mercenary organization, hence it was only natural that they will be given a task to kill some Magical Beast. Actually, killing was one of the meaning behind the ‘Sword’ from the name Sword and Magic.

Although the mission wasn’t actually a mission that the Sword and Magic had handed to the Silver Kingdom Job Bulletin, it was still a mission recognized by the Kingdom’s Job Bulletin since it was related to solving a problem related to the Silver Kingdom. The only difference this time was that the mission was instead handed directly to the Sword and Magic Job Bulletin.

Moreover, the Silver Kingdom and Sword and Magic Job Bulletin weren’t that much of a different either, too. In fact, every Job Bulletin from any organization’s throughout the Silver Kingdom was just connected. The former was simple where all the missions throughout the entire Silver Kingdom were being gathered in one place, while the latter only involved missions that were directly handed towards their respective organization.

Simply put, no matter where the mission was being handed, as long as it was related to the Silver Kingdom, then it would also be posted to the Silver Kingdom Job Bulletin.

Hence, Leo would still be able to received points from the Silver Mage Academy even with this kind of mission

“Would you still accept the mission?” Brian asked, doubtful of whether Leo was going to accept it or not.

Leo was still a young man, after all. He was still just a mere 1st year student, basing on how he didn’t have any uniform yet despite being a student of a Mage Academy. And just like all those youngsters from before, he would undoubtedly reject this mission since it might cost him his life.

However, contrary to Brian’s expectations though, Leo had actually nodded in response. Deep in Leo’s mind, “Who won’t accept a mission like this. It is basically giving me free points!”

The moment Leo had heard the word ‘Each Magical Beast’, he had already decided to accept this mission in his mind. He had grew up hunting Magical Beast, specifically from young till his present age, at Heart city. For other students they might be dangerous, but for him they were like ordinary animals. As long as he hunt them by exploiting its weakness, then he will be able to kill it even if he wasn’t that strong. Moreover, he has an Elemental in his arsenal too, a weapon capable of killing in masses. Hence, with an ability to kill in masses, it would be basically the same as raining points for him.

“This mission is basically tailor made for me!” Leo thought to himself. He didn’t dare to voice it out, since Brian might label him as arrogant fool or the likes.

Brian was taken aback at Leo’s reply. He composed himself as he wears a smile on his face, “What a daring young brat! Okay then, you will start your ‘cleaning’ from this location until you reached this location.” He said after he took out a map, “You don’t have to worry about the Magical Beast ahead, that part is no longer part of our jurisdiction. By the way, you need to bring the Magical Beast heads and to also clean up the mess by yourself afterwards. We will be basing the points we will give you through the heads you bought to us.” He added.

Brian immediately handed Leo the map of the sewer system and a net bag for the heads.

“Can I asked for more…?” Leo can’t help but asked. He will be killing the Magical Beast in masses, having one net bag won’t be enough to hold all of their heads, right?

Brian nodded his head as he became more interested at Leo. He said, “You don’t have to worry, their will be containers for net bags along the way, you can use as many as you want!” He then waved his hand bidding farewell to Leo.

Leo smiled as he turned his attention towards the map, “I will be grinding points here starting this hour!”

…..

Arriving at the place stated by the map, Leo immediately spotted a Magical Beast Rat, specifically Sewer Rat. It was drinking the water from the sewer before noticing the presence of Leo.

Leo became excited inwardly as he said, “You will be my first point!” With a wave of his hand, an Earth Elemental was quickly summoned.

“Kill it!” Leo ordered, pointing towards the rat.

Soon after the Earth Elemental was summomed, the Sewer Rat quickly then began running away as it seemingly noticed the deadly aura around the Earth Elemental. The rat was sure that it would undoubtedly die if it dare to fight with the Earth Elemental.

However, the Sewer Rat wasn’t able to easily escape as the Earth Elemental that Leo has summoned could actually control the ground within the five meter diameter around it.

The Sewer Rat was only 3 meters away from the Earth Elemental at this moment, hence trapping the latter was possible.

Contrary though, the Sewer Rat wasn’t actually as weak as what Leo had expected. The moment it felt that the ground started moving, it immediately jumped from its current location.

*Bang!

A sphere made of rock suddenly appeared out from the Sewer Rat’s former location.

The Sewer Rat fur can’t help but to stood up as it felt fear before it continue running away from Leo and the Earth Elemental.

Leo won’t just allow the Sewer Rat to escape away from him though, as he immediately ordered the Earth Elemental to follow behind the Sewer Rat.

Unexpectedly, after a few twist and turn, the Sewer Rat suddenly went inside a small hole. With how tall the Earth Elemental was, it was unable to fit inside the hole with its current size.

However, the Earth Elemental’s body was flexible, hence the Earth Elemental immediately adjusted its size as it quickly followed behind the Sewer Rat through the hole.

Leo also followed behind. Aside from easily being able to adapt and give commands to the Earth Elemental, he also wanted to see what’s inside the hole. He was really curious since despite all the holes that they had passed by a while ago, only this particular hole that appeared did the Sewer Rat went in.

Soon, Leo’s curiosity was finally satisfied as he found himself inside a nest with 20-30 Sewer Rat.

Leo immediately became excited. He really wanted to jump in joy at this moment. It was really out of his expectation that the Sewer Rat will actually take him to its very nest.

The Sewer Rat had obviously been thinking that it will surely be able to kill Leo and the Earth Elemental if it has a lot of other Sewer Rat to help.

Too bad it wasn’t the case…

If the other weak students faced such situation, they would have quickly decided to escape away from the place. But, Leo was different. This situation was practically the points had presented itself in from of him.

Leo quickly ordered the Earth Elemental to start a massacre to kill all the Sewer Rat, “Kill them all! But be sure not to destroy its head.” It would be foolish of him if he allowed the Earth Elemental to turn all the rats into meat paste.

Leo also pulled out his bow as he wanted to help the Earth Elemental. Killing this Sewer Rata would also be able to train further his Bow skills.

*Whish! *Whish!

Leo was already able to shoot two arrows every time, though sometimes the second arrow wouldn’t be able to hit the target accurately compare to the first one. But as time went on, after his fourth shoot, he could finally accurately shoot two moving targets.

Soon, all the rats were finally killed. Counting every head, Leo was easily able to earn 300 points.

“What an easy way to earn points!” Leo exclaimed before he began putting the heads inside the net bags that he had bought along with him.
