Chapter 2250 Mandatory Mission
After registering his mission for today, Minos followed the directions given to him by the officer.
After walking a few minutes to the border between the external and internal areas of the Armhands' headquarters city, he noticed the difference in the quality of the buildings and streets of this place as he approached the part of the city where the most powerful of the guild lived.
But he was still on the external part of the sect, so most of the people there were external members between levels 90 and 104.
A person's cultivation level had nothing to do with their position in the sect. There could be external members at the 11th stage and internal members at the 10th stage. That was rare because the stronger one was, the easier it was to fulfill one's responsibilities and earn merit. Still, such situations could be seen in this city.
In any case, most external members were Grandmasters, and most internal members were Sovereigns.
Some of the internal members worked in the external area of the city, so it was already common for the people in Minos' group to find people over level 100 there. However, some 11th-stage cultivators, especially those between 100 and 103, were often external guild members.
But most of them were Elite Soldiers, people who could be promoted at any time depending on what happened in the internal city and the city council.
The best parts of the external city were close to the border with the internal city, so Minos encountered many beings above level 100 near where he would be doing his mission today.
He carefully watched until he arrived at the door of a beautiful mansion.
"Hello, I'm Recruit Minos Stuart. I'm here to guide Recruit Wana." He introduced himself as he stopped in front of the entrance of an estate that had a beautiful lawn behind its gates, in front of a house that must have been about 180 square meters, built on three levels.
The creature standing guard there, a three-eyed creature similar in appearance to the aliens from The Adamant Land, looked at Minos for a minute in silence, not believing that this was serious.
"Are you kidding me, Recruit?" The being asked in a harsh tone. "You are only at level 95. How could you be given the mission to teach someone stronger than you?"
"I don't question the orders of my superiors," Minos said as he handed the Soldier his ID card, which contained the authorization for him to carry out this mission.
If someone had authorized it, it meant that the mission was legitimate and that the Grandmaster in front of the Soldier had received it from an Officer.
'How can that be?' This creature looked at Minos again after seeing that this was no joke. 'You're going to kill this guy! Who would order him to do such a thing? Does his guardian want to punish him in some way?'
He felt some sympathy for Minos as he thought about it and said. "Recruit, are you sure about this? It might be better for you to return here in a few months after completing the easier missions. If you go ahead, I'm afraid you'll regret it."
Minos understood the Soldier's intention, but he could only laugh bitterly. "This must be the easiest mission I have to do..."
"Then good luck." This level 99 guy paved the way for Minos. "Recruit Wana lives in apartment 33. It's one of the three apartments on the third floor. She should be home now."
Minos took his ID back and made his way to Wana's apartment, a Sphinx, a kind of creature with a feline body, a human head and a pair of wings.
Wana was supposed to be at level 98 and was a recruit who had been in Armhands for three years. From what Minos had been told, she was very close to being promoted to Rank-and-File Soldier. That's why the man in charge of her had set up some mentoring missions for guild members who were stronger than her to help her improve her strength.
Why would a higher-ranking member assign missions to other members to teach a Recruit in the guild? Well, Minos didn't know why, but he could think of several explanations.
For example, as he improved his position within Armhands, he would sooner or later bring in his companions who were now in The Blue Field and Speckled Bear Wilds. When they became guild Recruits, he would help them in various ways and even point out missions to other guild members to guide them.
That was just one example. There were several explanations. In any case, Minos didn't care how this Sphinx had gained the favor of an internal member.
He was soon at her door, waiting for her.
After a minute of knocking a few times, Minos heard a series of noises behind the door engraved with the number 33 until someone opened it.
"Who are you?" The feline creature with purple fur and hair asked.
Minos momentarily looked at the strange creature, which was 1.3 meters tall and almost 2 meters long.
She had beautiful wings in the middle of her body, whose feathers were a little lighter than the fur and hair all over her body.
Minos was used to meeting the aliens of this place, and after watching her for only two seconds, he introduced himself.
"My name is Minos Stuart. I'm here to guide you." He showed her his identification card while Wana made a strange expression, associating the cultivation of the alien in front of her with his mission to guide her.
As she confirmed that he had indeed been assigned to teach her, she couldn't help but become increasingly nervous, her face showing a dark expression.
"You're here to guide me?" She exclaimed after a while, thinking about how disrespectful that was.
But amid the anger, she felt more and more towards not only this alien in front of her but also the one responsible for this joke, she couldn't help herself and attacked Minos.
"If you think you can lead me, take my blows!" She lunged at him, letting her sharp, dagger-sized claws emerge from her front paws.
She was vicious in her attack, specifically targeting Minos' jugular vein!
Minos stood where he was when he saw her attack and did what he had to do. Spreading his wings, he attacked Wana mercilessly, first defending himself from her attack with one wing and then using the other to deliver a "slap" that hurled the feline into the interior of her apartment.
While she screamed in pain and cursed him, he simply entered the apartment and locked the only exit door.
He then touched her wound. "You have no discipline. No wonder you're still a Recruit."
