Vivian went back to the Mission Room and then headed straight to the Mission Rewards counter.

"Hi, excuse me, I'm here to report that I've completed the Bank Account mission -- I mean, Holy Mission."

"Hello sister, please give me your Class Crystal," the Priestess said.

Vivian took off her necklace and gave it to her.

After checking Vivian's name written on the back of the pendant, she nodded and then returned to attention to Vivian.

"From now on, every time you take and complete a Holy Mission, the Temple will automatically register it on this Class Crystal to keep a track record. Do you want to receive the 1 gold coin reward physically or on your Class Crystal?

"On my Class Crystal please."

"Okay."

The Priestess took out an oblong-shaped green crystal that was as large as an adult's head and pressed the pendant near it, causing it to emit a faint glow.

"The recording is complete and 1 gold coin has been added to your bank account."

She gave back the necklace to Vivian.

"Thank you," Vivian said.

"Thank you as well and may the God of Light continue to watch over you, sister," the Priestess said.

"You too."

Vivian headed over to Ezekiel.

"Sister Vivian, congratulations. Here for another Holy Mission?"

"Thanks and yes, but I want to ask first about the Holy Mission regarding participating in a feeding and teaching program outside the Temple."

"Ah yes, as a member of the Temple of Priests, one of our Holy Missions is to help and spread the holy vision of the God of Light by conducting a feeding and teaching Holy Mission for the weak and in need. It will be a joint mission between us, the Royalty, the Nobles and other various sponsors. This also can help us learn the Class Magic [Halo].

"For Brown Cloaks, the feeding and teaching Holy Missions will be conducted within the city. But you can also participate in the feeding and teaching Holy Missions that will be conducted in the nearby towns and villages if you want."

Vivian knitted her brows.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reward is 5 gold and it lasts 5 days a week, right?"

Ezekiel nodded.

"Yes, that is correct, from the day of Monar to the day of Fratur. The program starts in the morning and then ends after noon."

"Even the ones outside the city?"

"Yes, but in their case, they usually end up returning a little later and they also come with some bonuses."

Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"Bonuses?"

"It’s because the Holy Mission will be conducted outside the city. So naturally, there will be some bonuses."

"I see… What day is it today?"

"Today is the day of Westar."

"Is it still possible to take the quest -- I mean, Holy Mission today?"

"Of course, but you will have to start tomorrow. And given that there's only 2 days left, you will only get 2 gold coins."

"I see,” Vivian said and nodded. “I still would like to take this Holy Mission."

Ezekiel took out a token and gave it to her.

"Come here before 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and bring this with you."

"Okay," she said and took the token. "I have one more question."

"What is it, sister?"

"It's about the Class Magic Mission where I have to participate in a Ranking Match and reach the Top 3."

"Ah yes, and the reward is 1 complete set of Mithril-grade armor."

"How do I join that?"

"On the last week of every month, there is a Ranking Match at the Training Grounds's Gym which will be facilitated by the Instructors and everyone is required to attend. For the participants, they will battle it out until the Top 3 is decided. And of course, members who already won in the past can't participate. And the next ranking match is next week."

"I see, I see… Thank you, brother."

"No problem, sister. And may the God of Light continue to watch over you."

"You too as well."

***

Adventurer's Guild.

Vivian stepped inside the main lobby and was using her poleaxe like a walking staff. The weapon was about 6ft long and made out of pure silver, sporting a metallic white color.

She glanced at Pana for a moment who was busy talking to an Adventurer before heading straight to the Quest Board.

'Special Quest: Search for a missing engagement ring. Last known location, The Silver Wing Inn. Reward 50 copper coins, time limit 30 days…'

'Special Quest: Investigate if my girlfriend is cheating on me. Information about the target will be disclosed once the quest is accepted. Reward 30 copper coins, time limit 7 days…'

Vivian gritted her teeth and tightened her grip around her poleaxe.

Motherfucker…!

Why is there still no Bukaroo and Treebark quests…?!

Who the fuck is taking them…?!

"Excuse me, Honored Priestess Vivian," a female voice said behind her.

Vivian rolled her eyes before turning around.

When she saw the person, it was one of the receptionist and she immediately put on a friendly expression.

"Yes?"

"A client wants to meet with you."

Vivian glanced at Pana who was still busy talking to an AAdventurer and she returned her gaze to the receptionist.

"Why?"

"They want to offer you a quest and they're currently waiting inside one of the meeting rooms."

"I'm very sorry, but I'm a very busy person. Can you tell me right now what is the Quest, how much is the reward, and who is the client?"

"The client is a merchant named Madam Potts and the Quest is an escort mission to Sunrise Town. As for the reward, the both of you can negotiate about it."

"Tell her I'm not interested. I have other matters to attend to and can't leave the city."

In Vivian’s head, she had the Feeding and Teaching Holy Mission in the morning, she had to train her Physical Arts in the afternoon, and she had to train her Magic Arts in the evening. On top of all of that, there was also the Ranking Match next week.

The receptionist nodded.

"Okay, I will inform her that," she said and then left.

Vivian noticed the Adventurer talking to Pana leaving and she quickly made her way to her.

"Pana!" she said as she waved and smiled.

"Hi~!" Pana said and returned the gesture. "You rejected the client?"

Vivian knitted her brows.

"How did you know?"

"They wanted me to tell you about it but I was busy."

"Oh... I see. By the way, can you show me how do you write the name of the days on a piece of paper because I'm not sure if my handwriting is readable. By order, okay?"

A confused expression flashed across Pana's face.

"What?"

"Come on, please. You know I just learned how to read and write not long ago so I'm not yet confident with my writing skills. And so I asked myself: Whose penmanship should I copy? And I thought of you, a well-respected receptionist," Vivian said and flashed a warm smile.

"Vivian, are you okay? You look like you've lost a lot of weight."

Pana couldn't help but notice the sunken cheeks and the dark and heavy eyebags on Vivian's face.

Vivian waved her hand.

"I'm fine. I'm just very busy at the moment."

"You should take a rest. Even if you’re a Priestess, being an Adventurer isn't exactly an easy occupation. You literally have one foot on the grave."

"Thanks for your concern, but I'm just really busy at the moment. Once this passes over, I'll be back to my usual self."

"If you say so. I can recommend you some cream and makeup to cover those eyebags."

"It's that bad?"

Pana nodded.

Vivian chuckled.

"Excuse me," a male voice suddenly said.

Both Vivian and Pana turned to who spoke.

It was a man in his 50s wearing a black suit and behind him was the receptionist whom Vivian had spoken with earlier.

"Are you Honored Priestess Vivian?"

"Why?"

The man gave an elegant bow.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Henry and I work as an assistant for Madam Potts. And if you may, Honored Priestess Vivian, my mistress would want to have a word with you."

"I already said I'm not interested. Please stop bothering me. I have many important businesses to attend to," Vivian said and then turned away without waiting for a reply.

The gazes of Pana and the receptionist bounced between Henry and Vivian.

Meanwhile, for Henry, he maintained a poker face that no one could tell that he had just been rejected in front of many people.

He bowed.

"My sincerest apologies for disturbing you, Honored Priestess. Thank you for your time," he said and then left.

Meanwhile, for the receptionist, she also went back to the room where Madam Potts was waiting.

"By the way, why is there no Bukaroo and Treebark Quests anymore? It's been two days and still nothing," Vivian said.

"Oh… Ah… That one… Um… Well… They were available this morning but they were taken away by a group of new Adventurers," Pana stammered.

"A group of new Adventurers?"

Pana nodded.

"They were all 15-year-olds and they just the Adventurer's Guild a few days ago."

"But those Quests are mine. How am I supposed to get promoted if I don't get any quests?"

Pana closed her eyes and let out a sigh.

"What?" Vivian asked.

Pana opened her eyes.

"So many people are inviting you to do a Quest together and you're also receiving Special Quests from clients. And in case you don't know, Madam Potts is one of the influential merchants in this city."

"But they don't fit my schedule."

Pana let out an understanding smile.

“Well, you did say you were quite busy at the moment. It must be really hard being a Priestess.”

"If you only know," Vivian said.

Pana mused for a moment.

"Then there’s nothing I can do."

"By the way, about you writing the days?"

"You were serious about that?"

"Of course."

"But my penmanship isn't that beautiful."

"But at least it's a hundred times better compared to mine."

Pana let out another sigh before taking out a piece of paper and a pen. And after writing the days, she passed it over to Vivian.

Sunar, Monar, Tuar, Westar, Thura, Fratur and Satur…

Isn't this just basically Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday…?

This is plagiarism…

Vivian looked at Pana.

"Thanks, I owe you one!" she said and smiled.

"No problem. I’m always happy to help," Pana said and smiled as well.
