"Shit," Shin thought to himself. Arriving at the request board he found he was not the only one as there were several other individuals looking at the request board. This is what he got for sleeping in. As the individuals scanned through the request board, there was one request that caught Shin's attention from afar. From afar, it appeared to be an older request, one that must have been left up for a long time. Once he got a few meters closer, he took a closer look at the request. It's writing was somewhat faded and there rips all around. It must have been trapped under all these requests only to just see the light of day. Hell, it must have been fate. Wasting no time, Shin tore the request off the board and began to head in the direction he came from.
As he read the request over, an expression of disappointed appeared on his face. No wonder the request had been untouched for so long, it was scavenger hunt. The client had asked for the request taker to find three item: an old plant, some burnt wood, and a chunk of metal. This had to be the most generic items any scavenger hunt had asked for. There was more to it as well. Written underneath the items was a location he was supposed to take the items to once he had collected them. Letting out a sigh of annoyance, the red-haired mage tucked the request into the pocket of his leather jacket. He wasn't about to do this request alone, oh no. Instead, he would bring Ghastly along.
Ghastly had been left back at the hotel he had spent the night in. Originally, he did not plan to bring it along but with nothing better to do, it would be a good learning experience for Ghastly. These past few days had been like taking care of a dog. He had to teach Ghastly had to behave like a tamed creature, not some wild thing. It was always up to mischievous things like spooking people and playing pranks. However, like a dog it occasionally let its curiosity get the best of it. It also came with its annoyances but for the most part, it was proving to be useful as a recon partner. Hopefully, he would get to see it in combat soon enough. For now, the focus would be on completing this lackluster scavenger hunt.
