Chapter 50 Rewards and Offer
Glug… glug… glug… glug… glug…
"Why do you need blue drink?" Petra asked, wiping some of the drops off my face that had dripped down from my lips and onto my chin.
"If your mana ever drops to zero, immediately drink a mana potion. If not, then prepare for mana sickness, which is the most miserable disease that could ever exist… it lasts for months, and your mana regeneration is completely dead, making you feel sluggish, creating fevers, and, most of all, inhibiting your ability to use skills. Practice is impossible without it,"
All three of my siblings looked at me with worried eyes, but after showing them a forced smile, they all lightly smiled back.
"Alright… help me up… Let's go collect our juicy rewards,"
At the end of the dungeon room was a massive gaping hole in the wall, just begging for us to come inside.
It glowed with an ominous golden shine, yet it didn't push us back as we entered into the room and found piles upon piles of gold… well, fake gold.
"AHAAHAHAHA! WE'RE RICH! I CAN BUY SO MANY BURGERS WITH THIS! I CAN FEED THE REST OF THE ORPHANAGE!" Asger cried out, running his fingers through the gold coins and tossing them into the air.
Even Mari, who was normally quite stoic and mature-looking, couldn't help but drool and get lost in the sight of an endless sea of money.
I won't deny that it is a beautiful sight to behold, but upon learning the harsh truth, it wasn't as special as it initially felt.
"Don't get too excited… it's all fake," I announced, and the audible cracks of the hearts of Asger and Mari resounded through the room.
Their disappointment was immeasurable, and their faces were quite funny, causing Petra to giggle lightly.
She didn't care as much about money as the other two since she really only cared about her sister… and me… I hope.
"But, there is still a reward…." I muttered with a large smile, slowly opening the large wooden chest smackdab in the center of the glistening room.

"Oh… Petra, it's your lucky day. I have a present for you," I smiled at the kid whose eyes sparkled at the sight of so many precious items.
She may not care about gold, but she could appreciate the rewards we had been granted upon clearing such a hard dungeon.
"Here,"
I handed the little girl with white hair a silky leather book that she held tightly against her chest all the way until our time here had run out.
The rest of the stuff was stuffed away in my sack… well, we had to leave the bone shards since it was too much, but the rest we all graciously collected.
[Timer Has Run Out]
[Teleportation is Commencing]
My vision distorted, twisting and turning right before my very eyes, allowing the world around me to change, but this time with flashing lights and echoing sirens.
For a second, I thought we had been caught illegally raiding this dungeon, but apparently, a small murder had happened outside the dungeon.
So we all carefully tip-toed around the crime scene, and I'm sure they noticed us but immediately crossed us off their list since we were just kids… also, I doubt they were aware of the location of this dungeon.
It was hidden incredibly well, to the point that I'm suspicious as to how somebody discovered it.
Soon, we walked into the busy streets constantly assaulted by a heavy downpour of rain, and seeing how the presence of a shadow was nearby, I led my team towards the distant alleyway this being was hiding in.
We were soon shielded from the rain and greeted by a woman with swirling black eyes and long black hair.
Her suit was completely untouched by even so much as a drop of water, and her beauty still persisted from the shadow she arose from.
"Seems you had your fun… now, you must take into consideration the two options I'm about to offer you,"
"Huh? About what? When did I ever have two options?"
"Remember? You owe me for covering up your little shenanigans,"
"Ah… you did slip in something like that… alright, what will it be?" I asked as my siblings crashed against the wall in exhaustion, all leaning on each other before passing out into the land of dreams.
"You must become a blade for the academy,"
My eyebrows furrowed just a bit upon hearing her words since it was a bit unbelievable… almost as if she was trying to taunt me.
"I'm way too weak for that position,"
There are five blades in the academy, and I knew my sister was one of them, but the other four were quite the enigmas to me since they're rarely even at school.
You could call them representatives and the defenders of the academy's pride since during competitions against other schools or maybe practice matches with a guild, they are meant to uphold the pride of our academy… and I hated the idea of becoming such a thing.
"But, what's the second offer?" I asked before rejecting the first option.
"We are considering creating a special forces team and their code names are Daggers. You could essentially call them Shadow Blades since they're going to be made up of some of the most talented students at our academy, but… their objective is much different,"
"We are going to become the academies dogs, huh? Then what's in it for us? Money, I would assume,"
"Of course, you'll be handsomely paid but also provided with some resources that you'll have to earn by yourselves. You must prove your worth to earn new skills, weapons, or gear… but the training you'll receive will be entirely free,"
"So I'm assuming… we're the assassins of the academy, right?"
"You could call yourselves that… so, are you interested?"
