Chapter 29 Escorting Sword and Magic's merchant caravan

Author: M_W Cancer

The teams were immediately formed after Alfred, and the others finished looking for a mission to complete. The teams were specifically, naturally, Leo and Cassandra, Alfred and Anna, for the couples. Michael and Adrian, and lastly, Raffy and Angelo, for the 4 bodyguards.

After they officially accepted their mission from Angel, they hurriedly bid farewell to Leo and Cassandra to start completing their chosen mission. They wanted to finish their mission as soon as possible so that they can go and accept another one. Hence, they can earn a lot of points this week.

At this moment, it was only Leo, and Cassandra who were left in the study room. Cassandra was flipping the pages of Sword and Magic Mission Book, trying to look for an easy mission with at the same time a high point as its reward.

"Stop looking around, I have already picked a mission for us!" Leo said as he went to grab the book and immediately flipped the pages towards a specific page before he pointed at a mission.

'Escort Sword and Magic merchant caravan to Blacksmoke city, then back again to Silver city. Reward (5,000 points).'

The mission was simply to escort a Sword and Magic merchant caravan to Blacksmoke city, wait until they finished getting all the merchandise from the city, and escort then escort them back to Silver city, once again. It was a simple mission, really, so Leo specifically chooses to complete it.

"Are you sure about this? Maybe it's a bit out of our capability... How about let's choose another one?" Cassandra reminded Leo of concern.

Cassandra was worried about the mission. Though the Blacksmoke city was not really that far, just to the west of Heart city, they were still going to cross the Blacksmoke canyon, a known hub of bandits that likes to ambush merchant caravans.

Although the mission was indeed simple, that still doesn't mean it was easy. Bandits weren't normal people, they were more or less like Magical Beast. They would attack any people in order to steal what they had, or even worse than that.

"Don't worry, I've already escorted a merchant caravan once to Blacksmoke city before. Though it's a favorite hub for the bandit's ambush, the bandits there aren't that strong, anyway. Moreover, it's not like only the two of us are going to escort the merchant's caravan, right?" Leo said, assuring her. Missions such as this weren't something that only 2 Mages could complete, so there would surely be another group of Mages to come with them. In other words, Mages that would become their nannies...

Leo had indeed escorted a merchant caravan once. It was at the time he had found Van. A merchant caravan returned to his Heart city, damaged and has obviously escaped with their lives from the Blacksmoke canyon's bandits.

Fortunately, those merchants were only going to Blacksmoke city to buy some merchandise, so there was almost nothing in their caravan. The moment they returned to Heart city, they then asked for their Lord's, which was Leo, for his assistance to cross the Blacksmoke canyon, to which he happily agreed.

Of course, Leo only did so since they had rewarded him with 2,000 gold coins. After all, although he was kind, he was still a person that thinks about his personal interest. No one would voluntarily help someone without a return, especially if helping them will endanger their very own lives.

Leo quickly rang the bell, and Angel immediately came inside soon after as she then looked at the mission that he wanted to complete.

"Are you sure about this mission?" Angel asked, dubious about whether the two were just joking with her or not.

In Angel's opinion, the mission was really out of their scope of range. Escorting a merchant's caravan wasn't that easy since bandits and dark mercenaries always wanted to target them. They might even lose their lives in the worst-case scenario, which would then waste Madam Silva's effort of grooming them.

"Yes, don't worry! I've already escorted a merchant caravan once to Blacksmoke city." Leo repeated again.

Hearing Leo's reply, Angel could only feel helpless. She wanted to persuade them to choose another one, but it looked like Leo was really aiming for this mission.

"Okay then..." Angel said as she was left with no other choice. She handed Leo a piece of paper that officially states that the two of them would be completing the mission.

The paper that Angel had handed to Leo was called the Official Seal of Acceptance. This Official Seal has two different parts, the Acceptance, and the Completion. The former would act as the proof of the employee to their employers that they had officially been granted the rights to complete their mission. The latter was naturally the proof that they had completed the mission.

Without this Official Seal, a student or anyone interested in the mission will not be able to join or complete the said mission, neither would they be able to claim the reward for the mission. Even if they had completed the mission, as long as they had lost the Official Seal of Completion, then they won't be able to receive its promised points reward.

"Thank you, then let's go!" Leo said as he hurriedly dragged Cassandra away from the study room. He was afraid that Angel would suddenly change her mind and asked him back the Official Seal of Acceptance for the mission.

"Where are we going?" Cassandra can't help but ask curiously while being dragged away by Leo.

"We are going to buy some stuff we needed for the mission!" Leo replied as they quickly left Sword and Magic and went to the nearby stores selling cheap only merchandise.

Obviously, Leo was still poor even though he had Madam Silva as his backer.

.....

The next morning, Leo woke up early to prepare for the mission. After taking and bath and doing all his morning routines, he quickly went to the kitchen to eat his breakfast.

Cassandra was also eating her breakfast when he arrived. After greeting her, he hurriedly sat on his chair and began eating.

"Will, you really not change your mind?" Cassandra said, trying to persuade Leo to change his mind, again. She had this weird feeling which has coincidentally started when they had accepted the mission. She feels that something bad was likely to happen during the mission.

"Don't worry, it's just an escorting mission, no big deal! Let's finish our breakfast fast, or else the merchant caravan would be leaving us!" Leo said before taking a quick bite on the pork steak that Alicia had prepared for them.

Cassandra could just shake her head helplessly at Leo's reply.

After finishing their breakfast, they immediately went hurriedly to Sword and Magic to meet up with the merchant caravan.

Fortunately, the merchant caravan was still preparing to depart when Leo and Cassandra finally arrived.

"Are you the others that will be coming with us?" A tough-looking twenty years old young man wearing a white Academy uniform with a silver wing badge attached to the left chest said when Leo and Cassandra approached the merchant's caravan.

This white Academy uniform with a silver wing badge was the official uniform for the Silver Mage Academy. Leo and the other 1st year students hadn't yet to received this special uniform of the Silver Mage Academy since the rules had stated that they will only be given this uniform once they officially become 2nd-year students of the Academy.

"Yes, I'm Leo Heart and this is Cassandra, MY WOMAN! We are 1st-year students from Silver Mage Academy." Leo said as he can't help but strongly emphasized the word 'MY WOMAN'. He was quick to notice that the tough-looking guy was staring at Cassandra with obvious perverted thoughts.

The tough-looking guy shoots a hateful stare towards Leo since he was really displeased at the latter's reply before he then turned around his body and guided them towards the others.

"I'm Ban Will, from the great Will Household, the 5th rank of the 5 Major Noble Households of Silver Kingdom. I'm a second-year student of Silver Mage Academy, hence I'm your senior!. You should show me a BIT OF RESPECT!" Along the way to the merchant caravan, the tough-looking guy suddenly introduced himself. He also put a strong emphasis on the word 'BIT OF RESPECT' since Leo had no respect when responding to him a while ago.

Ban thought in his mind, "How dare a 1st-year student of Silver Mage Academy disrespect a senior! Just you wait, if I see any chances, I will steal your woman from you. In such a situation, you will be helpless to do anything since a 2nd-year student is obviously much stronger than a 1st-year student"

Leo just shook his head at Ban's introduction, not minding about it at all. Anyone who openly stares at anyone's woman would naturally respond the same as him. So, his reaction was only natural.

With a perverted gaze, Ban inconspicuously took out a mirror before he directed its reflection towards Cassandra's slender legs, well proportion breast, and rounded butt. He gulped inwardly as he quickly hides the mirror away, to seemingly look like nothing has just happened.

Ban's action was unnoticed by Leo and Cassandra as his movement was done in an obvious professional or expert way. Obviously, it only explained that he had done this kind of action a lot of times already.

Unknowingly, trouble once again knocked on Leo's door due to Cassandra's beauty.

Arriving near the merchant caravan, Leo soon noticed 4 more other students wearing different uniforms of different Mage Academies of Silver Kingdom.

A guy wearing a green uniform with a Phoenix badge on the side of his uniform quickly approached them as soon as they arrived close, "I'm David, a 2nd-year student of Green Phoenix Mage Academy!"

Leo shook David's hand in response as he slowly turned around to gaze towards the others.

A pretty woman in a tight red uniform with a lion badge on the side of her left breast said, "I'm Hannah Williams, a 2nd-year student from Red Lion Mage Academy!"

Leo observed the woman from top to bottom. She had a great figure, though not as sexy as Cassandra, and was also slightly bit chubby. Her hair was red, and she has orange-colored pupils. She had slender legs, an average size breast, and a well-rounded butt.

"92/100!" Leo said out of nowhere while nodding his head. Cassandra quickly pinched him to his side, which he felt was really painful compare to the usual.

Hannah didn't mind Leo's rating though, as she felt that he wasn't really disrespectful and perverted. She quickly feels a good impression of Leo. The moment his gaze landed on her, it was of pure curiosity and was only sizing up her beauty; it wasn't the likes of those perverted animals that wanted to bed her immediately the moment they meet her.

That perverted animal that Hannah had thought of was specifically Ban, who she immediately feels creeps about inside the moment she shook his hand. In her opinion, the moment she shook his hands to her, it was like an octopus trying to trap her whole body with its tentacles. It was really creepy, adding to the fact of his creepy smile and obviously perverted gaze on his face. She really feels unsafe with him, it was like she was made naked in his mind.

A pretty blond-haired woman wearing a yellow uniform with a black turtle's shell badge on her breast said with a smile, "I'm Dandelion Floye, a 2nd-year student of Black Turtle Mage Academy!"

Leo observed the blond woman from top to bottom. She was pretty cute, and she had this air of innocence around her. Her pupil's color was also yellow, the same color as her long hair. She was a 5.5ft tall woman, pretty average height, voluptuous legs, and butt, and has an average size breast.

"89/100!" Leo rated again while nodding his head. He again received another painful pinch from Cassandra. He doesn't really mind her pinching, he actually feels sweet inside every time she does. Not that he was an M, he just feel some weird feeling every time she does, like maybe the same as the feeling of someone caring about him and the likes.

A guy with a bit of muscular body wearing the same uniform as Hannah nodded his head as he said, "I'm Claude Blacksmoke, a member of the Blacksmoke Household. I'm from the same Academy as Lady Hannah, and I'm also a 2nd-year student. By the way, I was tasked by Lady Angel to lead this group, nice meeting all of you!" He nodded his head seemed as if approving of their existence, "Since we're done introducing each other, let's depart now since we have a long way to go!" He quickly added.

Leo nodded his head as he went to grab Cassandra's hand before getting inside one of the guards' wagons.
