Both of them, Rex and the receptionist lady made their way to the back of the guild where there is some sort of training ground. There's a target for archery and other long-range weapons, a dummy for the melee weapon and last but not least the place where they are heading to, the training ground for magic-user.

The place is made by four pillars made by the four elements standing beautifully together around a magic circle that is made by carving out the floor. The pillar is connected to each other and on the circle itself.

"Please stand on the middle of the circle and channel your mana to the circle, the circle will tell about your attunement to the basic four-element"

Rex goes to the middle of the circle and channels his mana. when Rex mana flows out from the circle and touches the pillar made out of fire burn with blue fire, the pillar of water froze making it the pillar of ice, wind pillar burst out like a geyser and lastly the pillar of the earth slowly turning to some kind of metal.

"Hmm, impressive, you have an affinity for the four basic elements. I have confirmed your statement, now hold this and don't ever lose it"

The receptionist handed Rex a card that says his name, his weapon of choice which is magic and on the bottom of the card there's a series of number his number is 150700421.

"When we received information for a dangerous monster to hunt, we will immediately send you a letter to the place you are staying, so be sure to check at least once a day"

After registering at monster hunter guild and got his card he continues his exploration across the city to find a new exciting thing but sadly there's no new thing to discover besides the various strange guild. Dejected for not finding something to do he goes back to the flaming horse to eat dinner and sleep till morning.

In the morning the next day, after preparing himself and eat he made his way to the academy for the opening ceremony at GMA. The ceremony itself is pretty mundane just like any other opening ceremony on earth, the only difference is the number of new students there's only a handful of a new student since GMA only accept those who are gifted with big mana pool. When the ceremony is finished, Regin himself lead the new student for their first class.

"Okay, now that we are here, first thing first for you to became mages you need to learn magic and for you to use magic you need to control mana. Who in here can already control mana?" Theres only about 6 student that raises their hand, including Rex

"On these couple of weeks we will focus to manipulate mana so for the six of you that can already control mana, congratulations you've earn yourself a vacation for three weeks from now"

Rex doesn't believe that he gets a three weeks vacation on the first day at school. "Lucky me, well ill just continue my experiment from the night back at the inn"

Rex is experimenting on the ants at the inn. He is curious about what will happen when he forced his mana on a living thing. He knows that when you inject your mana on something you can control it. That's how he made those earth spike that he liked so much he spreads his mana towards the ground all around him and make the earth to the shape of spikes just below his enemy.

Now he wonders if he can control living thing by injecting his mana on them. The first one he injects mana to does nothing, but when he continues to inject his mana to other ants the ant before explode. He doesn't even know why the ant before is exploding when hi inject his mana to another ant. While he's daydreaming about controlling an army of ants he is stopped by the inn lady holding a letter with his name on it.

"Esteemed guest, there's a letter for you from the monster hunter guild"

Rex takes the letter then thank the inn owner before he reads it.

'To mage Rex. By your request to be informed about a dangerous monster. We are here informing you about such monster north from the city. There's a sighting of a dragon at one of the mountains that bordered with the neighbouring kingdom. The scout that we send said that the dragon looked scared of something and it wishes to hide at one of the mountains. We at the guild hereby request mage Rex to join the hunt for the dragon, the king is willing to spend 50 gold coin for banishing the dragon from his realm.'

"What the fuck, I know that I requested it but a dragon as the first mission is a little bit too much, isn't that supposed to be the last boss or something. Maybe what they mean by dragon are those little wyverns."

"Well fuck it, I already died once, what the worst gonna happen to me, death? Pftt"

Rex has made up his mind to go hunt a dragon, he asks all about the mountains and the area around to the inn owner. She says that its a natural border between the kingdom of Genda and the neighbouring kingdom of the elves, because of the treacherous trek there's no way for an army to pass.

After asking all about the safest route to reach the mountains range, Rex made his way to one of the many shops that sell provision and buys enough food and water for 7 days, the mountains are two days away by carriage.

Rex rented a carriage complete with a drive that will accompany him for 7 days. He prepares all the things he will need for the hunt and put them all on the back of the carriage. After the preparation, he goes out on a journey to slaying dragon.
