Darius looks around as he exits the audience hall, not seeing anything interested he goes to continue walking when a screen appears in front of him.

‘Aura skills huh? Well, if I can figure out how to get aspected Auras it’s going to be insanely powerful.’ Darius nods as he leaves the building, looking around a little before he walks back towards the adventurers guild.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
Darius walks up to the bounty board when he gets to the guild, starting to look through them for anything he could do. Darius sees an iron ranked protection job. He looks over it, seeing that someone is asking for protection while they travel to a village two days away. The paper says that they are expecting to be attacked by bandits, who are trying to keep the village cut off from supplies.
Darius frowns when he reads that, so he takes the paper over to Jannet and says “Hey Jannet, I’ve found a quest I want to take.” “Oh? And what quest is that?” Jannet asks.
Darius puts the paper on the desk, saying “This one to escort supplies to a village.” Jannet looks down at the paper before saying “Are you sure you want to take this one? I know you are a new Iron rank, but well, you are a new iron rank, are you sure you can handle it?”
Darius nods “I know i can handle it, besides it’s a possibility for me to get more people for my town doing this.” He says with a shrug. “How did your meeting with the lord go?” Jannet asks as she looks at him. “Well, at first not so well, and I guess he was using an aura on me? I couldn’t really feel it. In the end, he did give me what I want though, and it got me some aura related skills.” Darius says as he looks around a little.
Jannet pales as she says “The lord used his aura on you? Are you sure you are okay?” “Well, yeah, why wouldn’t I be okay?” Darius asks.
“It’s just, the lord is the strongest person in town, excluding the guild master, and he is a master of his aura, he can really hurt someone with it if he wants to,” Jannet says shaking her head a little. “Oh, well, if I had to guess my mana regen makes me kinda immune to basic mana based auras. And now I have the aura resistance skill.” Darius says as he shrugs.
“Anyway, yes I would like to take this quest,” Darius says as he looks at her, smiling softly. “Very well, there are a few others who have already talked to me about it, and are probably with the merchant now, they are leaving soon after all,” Jannet says as she sighs. “Right, I’ll be off then, thanks for your help Jannet,” Darius says as he turns to leave, a screen popping up.

Darius reads the screen quickly before he heads out of the guild. He looks around before opening the map, checking where the marker is. Once he sees it he starts to cast blink to get there quickly.
Darius looks around as he enters a square with a bunch of shops surrounding it, he finds a couple of covered wagons as well as a few people walking between some of the shops and the wagons. Darius looks around before walking towards the best-dressed man here, figuring he is probably the merchant that is hiring adventurers. “Excuse me, sir I’m an adventurer and I’m here to join the caravan,” Darius says as he walks up to him. The merchant looks at Darius, before shaking his head when he sees Dariu’s level. “Boy, you know this is an Iron rank request right?” Darius nods, frowning slightly as he says “Yes, I’m an iron rank adventurer.”
“You? An Iron rank, don’t make me laugh, you aren’t even level 20, barely enough for a copper rank.” The merchant says, chuckling. Darius frowns more as he pulls his badge from his backpack, holding it out. “Here’s my badge since you don’t believe me.” Darius says while he shakes his head. The merchant looks down at the badge surprised. “Well, this is certainly interesting, that’s not a fake badge, so tell me, how does someone as low level as you become an iron rank?” He asks.
“Oh, just have a high mana regeneration,” Darius says with a shrug. The merchant shakes his head “That wouldn’t qualify someone as iron rank.” He says frowning. “It does when your mana regen is enough to destroy a normal status tester,” Darius says looking around a little. “Well, isn’t that interesting. Very well, you are on the team, the rest of you are on one of the wagons, you might as well go join them.” The merchant says before he walks off to go talk with someone else.
