Chapter 102: Mission Impossible-2
Chapter 102: Mission Impossible-2
Anthony looked through the list with his normal expressionless face.
The clerk kept her eyes on him as she was looking to see which Anthony would pick.
Anthony's gaze landed on the mission standing first on the list.
First Mission: Excursion.
Details: Escort some goods of the Norka organization from city M to city Q.
Requirements: Master rank combat prowess.
Payment: hundred million Academy points.
The mission gave no further details, just enough for you the employee to know your job.
It didn't even specify the level of the Master rank that was needed.
A lot of things screamed death flags literally.
But the reward, a hundred million points was too tempting.
Anthony didn't dare to imagine it, that amount of points.
Anthony didn't feel greedy or anything.
But that amount of points, he wanted it, although he was already outrageously rich and his system points can give him everything, it can't be converted to Academy point at the end of the day.
Anthony also didn't dare to think about the amount of lives swallowed by this impossible missions rank due to people's greed.
But he couldn't blame them, students can't possess such amount of points, only professor level and people who have been in the Academy for a long time possessed such points.
Anthony knew he couldn't get such amount of points from placing bets or completing normal missions and stuff.
Academy confidently put that reward because they know what it represents..'Impossibility'
"I will take the Rank 1 Mission"
Anthony said as he turned his head to the clerk and met her eyes with his.
The clerk fell into another shock, she knew Anthony's power....well at least she think she does.
She had thought he would accept within the tenth rank to the ninth rank for a start then work his way up to the rest if he is able to succeed with the mission.
To her Anthony was simply overestimating himself, many had tried and failed.
Many geniuses lost their lives to these missions, many have appealed to the Academy to remove these impossible missions.
But the Academy has no reason to, as they don't ask or force anyone to go on any mission at all.
To the clerk, Anthony won't return, this simply meant his death.
She had seen many die, she had held this clerk job in the mission hall for more than a century.
She has seen people die even while going on the simplest mission like picking herbs.
And now the greatest genius of this generation was going on a death mission.
She tried to offer an advice, even though it wasn't really her place.
"Ermmm...I think you should challenge the lower ones first and test the waters before moving up the ranks"
Anthony just kept quiet as he looked at her, then shook his head as a sign of rejection.
The clerk could only sigh at the loss of another genius, to her Anthony wasn't coming back at all.
She ran her fingers with finesse that contains over a century of experience on the keyboard.
Then she gave him a paper slip that is used as an ID for mission acceptance.
The slip also contains information of where and when to meet before the mission begins.
Anthony looked at it and saw that the mission begins in two days....after this two days the mission would leave the impossible mission list even if Anthony didn't accept it.
"Thank you"
Anthony nodded his head and said.
Then turned around and left, heading to his room as he sent his clone to attend the classes being held.
There was no way Anthony was going to sit through hours upon hours of boredom.
The two days quickly went by like an assassin.
Within those two days, rumours have spread about Anthony's mission.
There was simply no way to hide it, its an impossible mission that everyone looks at once in a while, them finding out that Anthony accepted it sent a shockwave throughout the Academy walls.
And accepting the First rank Mission at that, it was like inviting the reaper to your family home.
People mocked Anthony that he has become arrogant and allowed social fame get to his head.
Many cried and sighed at the death of this handsome genius even though he hasn't even left the Academy Domain to start the mission.
Anthony didn't address any of this rumours, there was simply no need to.
Of course when many people called him arrogant and prideful for accepting the mission, some also believed in him.
His subodinates had no doubt in their minds that Anthony would come back alive.
Bryan and the Titan brothers weren't so optimistic about the situation, they had become friends with Anthony, they didn't want him to die.
So they tried persuading Anthony to change his mission but he refused.
Everyone at the top twenty had utter confidence that when they got to the third year or before that, they could complete the 10th Rank mission on the mission impossible list at the very least.
But above the sixth rank, they would think about it when they got there and also see what the mission is at that time before making a decision, as they all knew the events of the past about the mission impossible list.
Anthony had already prepared everything for his mission.....well there was nothing to prepare in the first place as Anthony is always prepared.
He came out of his room and walked towards the Academy gate, as he walked he saw a lot of people looking at him with sad eyes, especially the girls.
He just smiled at them as he walked past the which made them even cry harded as this 'will' be the last time they would see him.
He stood at the Academy gate and looked at the horizon and the rest of the Academy Domain.
Anthony turned and looked at everyone who followed him here to send him off.
Then said with an arrogant tone.
"There is no need to be sad, I would be back, afterall I'm Heaven's Illegitimate Child"
Then Anthony floated up gently and shot towards the far skies with a resounding boom
......
The Dean's Office
"Sighs...so he has left huh, another one chasing the impossible mission"
The Dean shook his head as he spoke.
He brought out a circular device and contacted someone.
Null Collins face materialized as a hologram just slightly above the device.
"Hooo....to think the slaughterer would contact me first, isn't this a surprise what do you want"
Null Collins said with a smile.
But the Dean replied back with an evil smile and said
"Your grandson has accepted an impossible mission"
Immediately the words dropped the room became so silent that a pin would sound like a nuclear explosion right now and here.
After a brief pause due to the heaviness of such message.
Null Collins asked another important question
"What rank?"
"First rank"
The Dean replied with an evil grin.
Null Collins was stunned from the answer he received.
He has nearly lost his son to the fifth ranked mission, now his grandson was challenging the first rank.
The both of them were courting death.
Collins didn't ask any other questions, he just abruptly ended the call, leaving only the Dean in his office.
