Chapter 106 - 105 - First Mission.
"Why can't I take this quest?" I looked at her and smiled like I didn't understand. Seeing that, Rose sighed and looked straight into my eyes.
"I just said I cared about you and you want to take a B-RANK mission? And do you still intend to do the mission alone?" Rose was incredulous at this, she was looking at me like she said "You better give up on this idea."
But I'm sorry, I'm not giving up now.
"That's right, could you please register this for me?" I smiled again at Rose, but she stayed still and didn't move, so I decided to say something: "Receptionists shouldn't deny an adventurer's willingness to go on a mission. Isn't that what you said?"
That's what she had told me before. Any adventurer can take quests of any level, at most the receptionists would try to make them give up. But I wouldn't give up no matter how hard Rose tried.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do this, I'm not confident you can fulfill a mission like this." Rose was looking at me seriously and also looked a little upset that she had to do this.
"Don't worry, I'm strong enough to accomplish this mission easily, that's all I can tell you right now. Even if you don't want to register this for me, I'll talk to another receptionist."
I spoke to her seriously and Rose looked surprised.
"…" She remained silent for a long moment, so I caught her attention again. But Rose didn't answer me and then took a piece of paper and started writing something.
"What is it?" After finishing writing a few things, she handed me the paper.
"The mission is already registered, here is the exact location of the mission. And bring the Orcs' ears as proof of subjugation." Saying that Rose turned around before I could thank her and started ignoring me.
I think she was really upset with me, but whatever at the moment, I'll talk to her later. I know she's just worried about me, and I appreciate that.

After that, I left the adventurers guild and put the mission paper in my pants pocket. Now it was time to go.
From what was written here, the mission site would be two days journey on foot from the capital. The Orcs were blocking some carriages that come to the capital, so it wasn't too far from here.
Two days on foot is quite a long time, but that's how long it would take a normal person to get there, using all my speed, I can get there in a few hours.
At the moment I didn't have a sword, so I would have to fulfill the mission just using my magic. But it wouldn't be that hard, my magic is powerful enough for me to kill an even larger group of Orcs with ease.
Speaking of my magic I have some skill points, I think I'll use them later.
I walked towards the city gate and found some guards, so I showed them my adventurer's license and left. The guards were different from last time, so they were surprised at me coming out that way.
But when they saw my RANK, they soon assumed that I was going to the nearby forest to look for some herbs, but I'm sorry, I'm going on a mission a little harder right now.
I activated my "Small Status Increase" skill and "Wind Speed" skill and then saw the strength and agility numbers go up, they were already high enough. I started running towards the place where the Orcs were.
With the speed I was now, I was running faster than a horse, it wouldn't be long before I got to the mission location.
####
It was much faster than I thought, a trip that would last two days was completed in less than three hours. But of course, it had consequences, running like this for so long with my abilities activated had made me tired.
Arriving at the place I noticed that this was a place a little different from what I was used to.
Not having a forest on all sides, there was only a small forest on the right side of the road, and on the left side, there was a large open field. In the distance, I could see a village.
The village was large and had some large plantations around it, in addition, their houses seemed to be of quality. In other words, it was not a poor village, it was a village that was very well structured and cared for.
But apart from the small village and the forest, there was no sign of an Orc around here, not even footprints I could find.
"Hm?" Looking at the village, I started to notice that something was wrong. It was a long way away, but I could see some kids running towards the road.
It was normal for this to happen since kids like to run around so much, but those kids didn't seem to be having fun, they looked scared and were crying. The closer they got, the clearer their screams and pleas for help became clear.
"Damn, Rose didn't say there was a village around here, and it looks like it's a little too late." Soon after, I started to see one of the houses collapsing, so I started running quickly towards the village.
I was a little tired but couldn't rest now.
I ran towards the village and approached the children.
"Mommy, waaa."
"Help us."
"Waaaaa~~"
Three children were crying desperately, so I didn't have much time to waste here.
But I stopped for a moment to at least calm them down.
"Listen, I'm going to the village and I'm going to help everyone, so stay here and wait, okay?" The three children didn't look more than three years old, they continued to cry but nodded in agreement.
"Okay." I left the kids there and kept running to the village. As soon as I got closer, I started to hear the cries of other children and also the screams of women and men, they seemed desperate.
In addition, I could also hear the sound of houses being destroyed and the screams of Orcs. They screamed like a human, but their voice was a little more distorted and "monstrous".
I quickened my steps even more and reached the village in an instant. The first scene I saw was some men thrown into the middle of the village while their bodies were completely deformed.
It was as if the Orcs had stepped on them with all their weight, they were surely already dead.
I also had a vision of a woman who was already without her head thrown in front of one of the houses. The door was open, so I could see a small girl sitting as she hugged her legs and shivered inside the house while looking at the woman's body.
Had many more bodies around here, and on top of that, the Orcs were also pounding the walls in search of new victims.
"You bastard." Next to me, an Orc was trying to break into one of the houses while punching the wall made of wood, so I approached him in an instant and punched him directly in the stomach.
He flew and broke some fences around the house.
After that, I approached him and then a great amount of magic began to circulate my body. After that, water started to be created in the air and solidified turning into large thorns made of ice on top of the Orc.
The thorns descended all at once and pierced the Orc's entire body, he died instantly.
AAAAAAGY~~
Seeing this scene, an Orc who was close approached me at full speed, his body was heavy, but he was still fast.
"I don't have a sword... But I can use that."
I grabbed one of the ice thorns and removed it from the dead Orc's body, then threw it towards the Orc's head that was coming towards me with all my strength. As if it were an arrow, the thorn of ice exploded his head.
I've already killed two of them, four to go.
Then I started running through the village and started killing all the Orcs easily. The first one owes his head blown off with my kick. I ran towards him and took a big leap.
The jump was high enough to be at his head height.
After that, I spun my body around and kicked him hard enough for his head to shatter into pieces.
The other Orcs started to get scared, but I finished them off easily using my own hands and using more of those ice spikes.
Their heads were exploding one after another. In just three minutes it was all over, what was left was just the dead Orcs and the crying of the villagers.
I took a deep breath and calmed down after that.. It had been a while since I had been in a battle, it was a very satisfying thing.
