Chapter 8: Lilian’s First Mission

The audience were entirely silent, they looked at where Louise was thrown and then looked at Lilian gasping for breath.

However, that didn't last long until Lilian fell to the ground and passed out from blood loss, and Louise got up almost unharmed.

"Wow... that scared me, if this girl had a higher level I would be seriously injured", Louise muttered.

The blow that Lilian used had everything to be a great and powerful attack, but it lacked a lot of strength because of her level, it was not the same as the time she faced the high-level zombie and made a giant fist with his blood, here she had to use her own blood.

"Call the healers; she's lost a lot of blood!"shouted Louise and quickly the medical team came to heal her.

In the bleachers the people watching began to comment on the fight just now.

"Simply beautiful!";

"Kyaaa, Lilian is so cute when she is fighting";

"Her skills are unique, I wonder what kind of magic it is?" There were many comments and compliments circulated through the stands.

"She really has the talent, Keito. She can keep her cool and react at the right moments", Zyra said with a thumb up to Lilian.

"I didn't tell you, the only thing she's missing is a few more levels, and then she can use this skill of hers to its fullest potential", Keito said proudly with his discovery.

"Once she passes the exam, she can leave the city whenever she wants, then she should be able to get stronger... I just hope she'll be okay", Zyra said with a worried look.

"Buahaha, did you see how insane this girl was? And you are still worried about her, come on Zyra stop it, she has the potential to overtake us easily", said Keito.

"Yes you are right she will be fine, but about overtaking speak for yourself, I am still very strong", Zyra replied and showed her tongue to Keito.

In the guild master's office.

"Oh! It seems Keito was right, she has potential... she can be great help for defending the city in the future...", said Liza who was watching next to the old man.

"No, we can't think like that, locking her up in this city is not right, she has the potential for much more than that!", replied the old man.

"Yes, you are right, guild master...", said Liza.

After that a day had passed and Lilian woke up in the guild infirmary.

"W-where am I?", muttered Lilian, confused.

"Oh! You woke up Lilian; this is the infirmary... you had lost a lot of blood during the fight. You have to be careful with this ability of yours!", said the healer who was taking care of Lilian.

"Did I pass the exam?", asked Lilian.

"Oh? Of course you passed... it would be strange if you hadn't!", replied the healer with a perplexed look; "What kind of question was that, does she have no idea of her own strength?", thought the healer.

"All right, I'll be going then... see you later", Lilian said as she got up on the bed.

"But are you sure it's all right? You had lost a lot of blood! Isn't it better to wait a little longer?", asked the concerned healer.

"No, I'm fine", Lilian replied indifferently.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

So Lilian grabbed her things and left in the direction of the guild reception.

Arriving at the reception desk crowded as usual, she saw Keito, Zyra and Louise sitting together at a table.

"Lilian come sit here with us", Zyra said when she saw Lilian.

Lilian went and sat down next to them.

"I'm sorry about before, Lilian I got a little carried away...hehe", Louise said embarrassed.

"It's okay," Lilian replied.

Seeing that Lilian didn't mind he decided to tell her the result of the exam, "Oh! And you are now a rank [D] adventurer!".

"Oh! Since I am now a rank [D] adventurer, what can I do?", asked Lilian curiously.

"You can take rank [D], [E] and [F] quests and only if it is a request from the guild can you do quests higher than your rank!";

"The rank [D] quests given by the guild mostly are resource gathering from zombies and some monsters, the more successful quests you have the higher the chance the guild will promote you up in rank, but of course whenever you go up in rank a new exam is required to measure your strength and see if you are fit", explained Louise.

"I see, I would like to go outside the wall", Lilian said.

"Hm? Do you already want to go outside? But you just became an adventurer", asked Zyra confused.

"I want to climb a few levels. I'm still very weak", replied Lilian.

"I see, so why don't you take a quest? At least you can save some money", said Zyra.

"Right, you're right", Lilian replied as she walked over to the quest panel.

On the panel you could see several types of quests, quests to collect medicinal herbs, to collect parts from monsters and zombies, to exterminate zombies and several others.

But the highest rank mission on the panel was rank [C].

Louise, seeing Lilian looking thoughtfully at the panel, went over to her and said, "We don't have many quests, our city isn't that big and it's not in a place where there are many dangers...".

"Uh!? Are there other cities?", asked Lilian in surprise.

"Hahaha! Of course there are, there are many cities out there much bigger than ours, this world is quite big... a pity that most of the time people spend their whole lives inside the wall", said Louise with a sad look.

In Iferia's world, ordinary people would not leave the wall because of the dangers outside, such as zombies and monsters, while some merchants or noble families who needed to go from one city to another would hire escorts.

"Has no one ever tried to find a cure?", asked Lilian, after all in all the movies and series she saw about zombie apocalypses, there would be a person with the blood immune to zombies that could be used for a cure, or people would go after a way to save the population themselves.

"Buahahaha! I wish it was that easy, even holy magic doesn't work on those zombies... healing magic doesn't either, this is not a case that seeking a cure can solve", Louise replied.

"I see...", Lilian said as she looked at the quest panel.

Then she picked up a mission sheet and took it to the counter where Liza was standing.

"I would like to take this mission", Lilian said.

"Hm... let me see. It's a rank [D] mission to eliminate five goblin zombies... Okay I'll leave this mission with you, here take this, a map and here is where the goblins were last seen.";

"I will now create your adventurer's license. You can use it in any other adventurer's guild in other cities, and whenever you wish to go outside the wall just present this license", Liza said.

Lilian nodded, took her license and the map, then headed for the wall gate. Arriving there she met the guard she saw last time.

"Hi, I'm here for a mission", Lilian greeted the guard and showed him her license.

"You are the girl who was together with Keito! But... this time you are much more...", before the guard finished saying Lilian asked, "Clean?".

The guard hearing Lilian laughed and said, "That's it! Hahaha, okay I'll open the gate for you".

When the guard opened the gate and Lilian immediately left, she took out her map and started looking at it. The place marked was where the zombie goblins were last seen wandering, it was south of the forest.

This was not a big map, just a map of the city region that the guild distributed to people who were going to do missions.

Meanwhile in an alley in the middle of the city.

"You guys wouldn't dare refuse a direct request from my father? Right?", said Todd with a slight scowl.

"Why would your father be interested in a little girl?", asked one of the men who were hiding in the shadows of the alley.

"That's none of your business, just get the job done", Todd shouted trying to show authority.

"Fine, but what do we get out of it?", asked the man.

"Gold, I will pay them gold myself...", said Todd.

"Okay, we will accept your father's request...", said the man.

Hearing that they accepted his request Todd was satisfied and left.

"Chief, did you really accept his request? It's obvious that it wasn't his father who asked...", asked one of the goons.

"Don't worry, we only have a little girl to deal with, and he's still going to pay us in gold coins...", said the boss.

Outside the wall was Lilian entering the forest and taking the path it showed on the map. The last place the zombie goblins were seen was only 5 kilometers from the city.

So Lilian continued on her way until she came across a small crow being attacked by a snake. It seemed that the crow had broken one of its wings and could not escape.
