God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

Chapter 209  Choosing A Mission 1

The system's explanation brought quite the shock to Nolan, who stared dazedly at the figure before him.

It was the first time he had ever seen a Beast before, a true mythic beast, and to see one who was in its humanoid form only heightened his shock.

"A Kitsune, huh? Cool..." He mused silently but the golden panel flashed before his gaze.

[They really are cool, but are you getting my main point?] the system asked and Nolan narrowe, thinking deeply for a while, but in the end, nothing came to mind.

'What do you mean?'

[I mean that right now, in front of you, is a seemingly human figure, yet she's a Mythic Beast.]

[So, there's a possibility that not everyone walking on two legs is necessarily a Celestial Heir.]

[They might be Beasts who have transformed into humanoid beings.]

[All Beasts are dangerous and cunning and won't mind killing a Celestial Heir. So you have to watch out and take note.]

[That's what I meant.]

[So when you next meet another humanoid Beast, you won't be fooled nor surprised when they finally reveal their true colors.]

The system explained lengthily, and he finally understood.

The system was simply telling him to be cautious. Not every creature that walked on two legs was necessarily a Celestial Heir.

They might be Beasts disguised in human form, and he hadn't heard of a place where Beasts were overly friendly to Celestial Heirs.

There were cases of pet beasts, but those were incredibly rare.

Imagine a person getting lured away by a large serpentine beast that had turned into a beautiful lady.

Definitely it would be a night to remember.

That was what the system had been warning him about, and he made sure to tuck the information away in a corner of his mind.

"What grade would you like for them, or will you allow them to choose for themselves?" Kitsune asked Instructor Doriath, who furrowed her brows in response.

According to the notification she had received from the academy, each of the new students was free to choose a quest of the lowest grade, which was E or F grade quests.

Some of the other instructors were all choosing E grade quests for their students, showing their confidence, but it was also harder compared to the F-grade.

Eventually, Doriath made her choice for them.

"Lead them into the F-grade quest hall, but allow them to choose any quest scroll they want..." she said, resulting in a grin from Kitsune.

"Always as cautious and as caring as ever. Only your stoic looks deceive one..." she teased, and in the next instant, Nolan watched as Kitsuni suddenly erupted into smoke.

In the next moment, he snapped his gaze to the side and found her now standing there in front of the students, her hairy tail flickering around.

"Follow me, y'all..." she said to the students, and the students immediately followed after.

Nolan joined them, but couldn't help but notice that Instructor Doriath was not following them.

They didn't need to take the elevator at all before arriving in front of a gigantic bronze-colored gate.

Kitsune brought out her runic card, this one being gold in color, unlike the student's card which was simply silver, and she swiped it on the door itself, almost like scratching it against its surface.

In the next instant...

GRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

The entire area shook intensely as the door slowly opened itself, and they all stepped in.

Taking in the surroundings, Nolan was immediately reminded of his last encounter with King Smmaordra.

The library, which was filled completely with scrolls, was now the same sight before him.

Scrolls covered everywhere, all over the tall bookshelves, and Kitsune spoke up.

"Every scroll you see here contains a certain quest."

"Fear not, the quests are the lowest grade of quests in the entire quest hall, so they shouldn't be too dangerous for you all."

"All you have to do is gently place a finger on one of the scrolls, and immediately, the information about what is required will appear in your mind."

"If you think you're up for the task, then carefully pick up the scroll, and you will have finished choosing your quest for the day."

"If you think you can't complete the quest or you don't like the quest given, then simply remove your finger and head to the next scroll."

"Now move on, you have just 30 minutes to pick a scroll..." she said this as the students quickly spread out, placing their fingers on the various scrolls scattered around the area.

But Kitsune soon raised an eyebrow as she felt a single student still standing behind her.

He was a young man with snow-white hair, quietly staring at the long shelves. He continued scanning them, tilting his head as he examined each one, until his gaze finally met hers.

"Go pick up a scroll..." she said to him, and he simply turned his back to her and headed toward one of the shelves.

"Hmm." A little hum escaped Kitsune's lips as she took her gaze away from him and turned to look at the remaining students who were frantically picking up scrolls and putting them down.

It was like they were looking for something, and she could immediately tell what they wanted.

It was what she didn't mention but also didn't need to.

Even though the scrolls were all F-grade, within them, they all had different experience points and rewards that would be bestowed upon successful completion.

The majority of them were probably looking for the one scroll with the highest number of points, and hence the most rewarding.

It was most definitely why they were all so frantic to find a scroll.

But quickly, she raised an eyebrow again when she felt a figure appear behind her once more.

Turning to look, it was none other than the white-haired student she had sighted before.

Right now, he simply stood with a dull expression, looking at everyone, and looking at his right hand, Kitsune found a scroll within his palm.

"Did he already choose a scroll that fast?" she wondered, raising an eyebrow. Her curiosity piqued, she started walking toward him.
