Chapter 9: A Job

Mikael approached a captain that was sitting on a desk calmly outside, he showed the notice poster to the captain, and slammed it to the desk.

"I hear you're looking for an escort." said Mikael.

The captain raised his eyebrow as he saw that Mikael only had one arm. "We only accept people who have two arms."

"Trust me, I've hunted monsters before." insisted Mikael. "My one arm won't be a problem."

"And you've any proof of that?" laughed the captain. "This is no joke lad, there's a monster in that sewers, 20 men have died trying to kill it, so we gave up, instead, we just need a medic to retrieve its venom, so it won't bother us no longer."

"I've killed Leshen in the Oxenfurt forest." stated Mikael, showing a bone necklace made of Leshen bones.

The captain laughed even louder. "What's that, a bone necklace?"

Mikael clicked his tongue. "Fine, test me."

"I've no time to test you lad, go away."

"If I beat you, you'll give me the job, if you beat me, you'll take away all my belongings." continued Mikael.

The captain raised his eyebrow. He looked towards his bag, full of steel swords. "You digging graves?"

"No, I bought it just now." answered Mikael. "You can ask the weaponsmith."

"The hell you need those swords for? Collection?"

"None of your business." scoffed Mikael. "Will you test me or not?"

The captain looked at the stack of swords in his bag, and sighed. "Fine, follow me."

The captain then escorted Mikael to the back of the Redanian army office. It was a training ground, dummies everywhere, but there was an empty field in the middle.

The captain took two wooden swords from the rack, and he threw one to Mikael, which he grabbed gracefully.

"One who falls first loses." said the captain casually.

"Fine."

The captain then took a stance, his sword raised, but before he could remember anything, he's already laying on the ground, his legs were in pain, and his face bruised.

"What the hell!" he cursed, holding the pain.

"I win, give me the job." said Mikael casually.

"The hell was that!" shouted the captain. "No, you're lucky, do it again."

Mikael sighed. "Fine." he then threw away the wooden sword, and raised his only arm.

"What, you're giving up now?" questioned the Captain in confusion.

"Just do it." said Mikael.

The captain then ran towards Mikael, his sword above, and he made a slashing movement, but that movement was stopped, and he saw that Mikael grabbed his wooden sword easily. Mikael then kicked his face, making him slam to the ground, hardly.

"Can I get the job now?" questioned Mikael lazily.

"How'd you hit this hard!" complained the captain, he fixed his dislocated jaw, and stood. "Fine." he grumbled. "You can take the job, but we're not responsible for your death."

"Fine by me." shrugged Mikael.

The captain then approached the desk once again, and he gave Mikael a map. "Here's the location of the medic's clinic. Tomorrow morning, you pick her up, and bring her to the well circled in the map."

"What, only me?"

"No, there'll be a whole squad with you." answered the captain, still in pain. "You're just back up."

Mikael hummed. "What's the medic's name?"

"Shani." said the captain, surprising Mikael. "Beautiful lady she is, bring her in one piece would you?"

"Wait what?" questioned Mikael again. "What's her name?"

"Shani." grumbled Captain. "Now piss off."

Mikael then walked off from the Redanian army office, a bit pale in the face. "Shit."

—

The sky darkened as Mikael sat down on the corner of the square. "Hearts of Stone… really?" he cursed. "I do not want to deal with Gaunter O' Dimm…"

Mikael just stood up, and sighed. He walked towards the inn, and ordered some food and drink. He thought about what he'll do tomorrow.

"I suppose I'll try to finish it as soon as possible…" he said to himself. "Maybe stole a couple of Ofieri weapons… that must be high quality. Meeting Shani though… what am I gonna say…"

Mikael just sighed, and he ate to his heart's content, clearing his thoughts from all kinds of trouble.
