Holding the mission permit scroll in his hand, Asher began to speak, "My name is Asher, I'm from the Star Academy, and I've accepted the mission to look into the disappearance of villagers from various villages," he stated with a calm and composed tone as he showed the two guards the mission permit scroll, ensuring that the official insignia and seal were clearly visible to them so that there would be no further misunderstanding regarding his identity or purpose.
The two guards, who were about to begin fighting at full power, stopped the very moment they heard Asher's words. They knew about the mission; after all, villagers had disappeared, and they had been informed by the Village Chief that someone from the Star Academy might arrive any day in regard to the investigation. The mention of the prestigious institution alone was enough to interrupt the surge of Astra energy that had already begun gathering around their bodies.
