The missions on the request board were truly varied.
They ranged from helping find kittens and working in restaurants to escort missions and hunting magical beasts. There were even investigations and exterminations of dark guilds.
It could be said that it catered to everyone's needs.
"The master said that with my current strength, I can try to take on C-rank missions, so D-rank missions are out."
Rayn recalled what the master had said on his way back.
He had just fought with Makarov. Since he said so, it must be confirmed.
And at that time, he hadn't used the Boosted Gear. After using it, there would be a period of outburst.
He thought that even for a B-rank mission, he should have a chance to complete it.
To help wizards find suitable requests more quickly, the requests were divided into levels based on their danger.
From the lowest D-rank to S-rank.
Rayn didn't know about other guilds, but in Fairy Tail, the highest level of requests on the first floor was only A-rank.
Therefore, which missions one could take on became the indicator of which rank a wizard was.
It could be said that a low-rank wizard was not necessarily weak.
But a high-rank wizard would definitely not be weak.
And Rayn remembered that in the original story, besides S-rank, there were three more dangerous types of missions.
SS-rank missions, ten-year missions, and hundred-year missions.
The former aside, the latter two missions were as their names suggested.
They were requests that no one had been able to complete for ten or a hundred years.
They could be said to be the pinnacle of all requests, with legendary and super-high difficulty.
And the request forms for these missions were on the second floor.
Only S-rank wizards could go to the second floor to choose missions.
"I'll try a C-rank first."
Suppressing the impulsive thought in his heart, Rayn chose to play it safe.
Moreover, accepting a request still needed to go through Makarov.
If he took it over, he might not agree.
Thinking of this, Rayn skipped the D-rank requests like finding cats and being a waiter.
He focused on the C-rank requests.
However, Rayn came back too late, and there were very few C-rank missions left.
Reality was not a game, after all. There wouldn't be new requests refreshing every moment.
And C-rank requests were more suitable for ordinary members.
So they were more sought after than other ranks.
The few that were left now were the ones that had been picked over.
And as for the remaining missions, either they were troublesome to complete, or the reward was too low.
Rayn had no choice but to start choosing.
"Hmm… escorting and killing magical beasts."
His gaze shifted between the few missions, and finally, it landed on an escort mission.
[Escort a Herb Collector]
Rank: C
Content: Due to my old age, I need to go to the Green Hills in the southern suburbs to pick a rare herb, the Moonlight Flower, which only blooms briefly in early autumn. Due to rumors of monsters in the hills recently, I hope to hire a wizard to provide one day of protection to ensure the safety of the picking process.
Client: Herb Master Bartello.
Reward: 30,000 J.
Compared to the other requests, this one had an advantage.
It was a round trip on the same day, so there was no need to stay overnight, and the reward was higher than the other few.
The locations of the other few requests were a bit far, and he would have to pay for it before he could make money.
"This is it!"
Thinking of this, Rayn no longer hesitated and took down the request.
"Master, I'll take this mission."
Placing the request on the table, Rayn said to Makarov.
"Hmm… Bartello, that guy? I see."
Glancing at the mission, Makarov nodded and registered it.
"There are still some magical beasts over there, so be careful."
Handing the request back to Rayn, he gave a casual warning.
"Alright, then Kanna and I will be going."
Waving his hand in farewell, Rayn led Kanna out of the guild.
On the way, he also greeted Caroline and the others.
The newly rented house was some distance from the dormitory, one in the east and one in the south.
That place was an apartment that Caroline had specially helped to choose after hearing about it.
The landlady was very strict and refused to compromise on the rent of 70,000 J.
Fortunately, Makarov helped to pay for the first two or three months, otherwise, Rayn wouldn't be able to afford it at all.
Now that he could take on missions himself, Rayn was even less afraid.
With a strange magic like 'Origin of the Dragon', it would be a real shame if he couldn't even make money.
What made Rayn a little resentful was that he had only stayed for one night and hadn't lived there for half a month.
Rounding it up, it was equivalent to losing tens of thousands.
For the now almost penniless Rayn, it was still very painful.
Holding Kanna's hand and walking along the canal, the moist and cool breeze dispelled the thoughts in Rayn's mind.
Boats in the river slowly floated down with the current, and the boatman sat on a stool resting.
The setting sun shone on the water, and the sparkling light reflected on the surroundings, like blooming flowers.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Rayn arrived in front of the apartment where he lived.
This was a two-story building.
Rayn had heard from Caroline that the first floor seemed to be the landlady's residence, but she didn't want the second floor to be empty, so she chose to rent it out.
So there was an external staircase on the side of the building, so there was no need to go up from her room.
Stepping on the wooden staircase made a slight sound, and one person and one dragon soon arrived at the room on the second floor.
This was a standard bachelor apartment, with only a main room that served as both a living room and a bedroom, as well as a separate kitchen and bathroom.
The space was not too large, but it made Rayn very satisfied.
He didn't like empty houses very much, as it would seem very lonely.
Fortunately, it was only fifteen days, and there wasn't too much dust accumulated.
And Kanna also helped together, although the result was that her body was covered with a layer of dust.
But it added a bit of fun to the boring process.
It didn't take much time to clean the house.
"Phew."
Rayn came to the small balcony outside the window, propped his hands on the railing, and let out a long sigh of relief.
The excellent geographical location allowed him to see the street view on the other side of the river and the vast sky.
"Rayn, Rayn, I want to go up!"
A soft voice sounded from the side. Rayn looked down at Kanna, and there were a few dark fingerprints on her white face.
At this time, it seemed that she was eager to sit on the railing, pulling Rayn's clothes, and her small feet in white stockings were tapping up and down.
"Alright."
He didn't rush to let her clean up. Rayn directly picked her up and placed her on the railing to sit down.
For Kanna, let alone this height, even if it was a hundred meters higher, she wouldn't care.
However, to prevent others from seeing and causing trouble.
When Rayn was leaning against the railing, he also stretched out a hand to hold Kanna down.
One hand propped up his chin, and his gaze looked at the clouds that were dyed like golden gauze by the setting sun.
Kanna's little legs in red shoes swayed back and forth, and her sky-blue eyes curiously looked at the sky.
She didn't understand what was so good to look at. After all, she had seen this scene for an unknown number of years.
But now that she was not a dragon, and there was someone with her.
Kanna felt that it was a little different, but she didn't know how to describe it.
Her eyes blinked, and she chose to also remember the scenery that Rayn saw in her mind.
Waiting for the time when she could understand.
