The door opened and with nervous steps, Susan walked into the room where she saw guild master Walden sitting behind a curved red maple desk that had piles of signed documents.

"Hello, Susan how may I be of help?" Walden the guild master of the Calton city branch of the adventure's association said with a warm smile.

"Guild master Walden, I would like to report a problem that requires your immediate attention." Susan held her breath as she waited for Walden's reply.

"Alright, let me have a look at the report." Guild master Walden's reply shocked Susan for a second, but she quickly composed herself and handed over the paper in her hand.

Walden was a man in his mid-200's but looked like he was in his late 50's. He was a man of height, 1.75 meters (5 feet 9 inches) with a cool undertone skin complexion.

He wore a plain black robe that made his perfectly trimmed white hair and brows stand out. He had a skinny stature that if not for his perfect hair and eyes full of vigor, would make any random person mistake him for any commoner.

Although he didn't have an eye-catching or fear instilling physique, all the noble families in Calton city feared and respected him for his wisdom, battle prowess, and level of mastery over the wind and earth element.

"Thank the heavens, you didn't hesitate to report this to me." Walden couldn't help but furrow his brows as he read the report.

"Is there any A-rank party currently available?" Walden asked the blonde receptionist.

"None at the moment, but I can relay the message that you need their help and surely, they would cancel the mission." Susan said.

Unlike normal adventurers and adventurer parties that had no way of communicating with the association on missions, A-rank adventurers and adventurer parties were given special communication amulets that could connect with the association no matter where they were on the planet.

This made it easier to recall them during critical moments when their help was direly needed.

'Why are high-rank adventurers always unavailable when a serious issue comes up? Does this have anything to do with fate?' Walden thought.

(AN: So fate has been mentioned twice by the system and Walden. Tell me what you guys think about it :D)

"Recalling an A rank adventurer party which might be in the middle of an important mission, wouldn't only displease the hirer, but also affect the prestige of the association." Guild master Walden said as he put down the report and stood up.

"You don't have to worry, it isn't that much of a deal and since I have some days' worth of free time, I can handle this..." Walden said as he began opening a spatial door with the help of a pyramid-shaped artifact hanging on his neck.

Just when he was almost done with the symbols to open the spatial door that led to the Bulian hills, the communication crystal on his desk blinked twice, causing him to pause and take a look.

'The King slayer's adventurer amulet is back online. Unlucky me, just when I thought I was about to have fun.' Walden was surprised by the discovery but at the same time, he was disappointed.

Due to his position as the Calton city branch guild master, Walden was usually swarmed with paper works giving him little to no time to have fun.

He was just done with the current batch of paper works and had wanted to use the mission as an excuse to avoid the next batch of paper works that were to arrive in a few minutes.

'These bones have become too stiff, I really need to get out and exercise.' Walden ran a quick mental scan on his body, before contacting the A rank adventurer, King Slayer, also known as instructor Zirrack.

…

On the peak of a mountain, surrounded by corpses of more than 15 Rugors, was Zirrack who was shocked by the call just seconds after he activated his adventurer amulet.

"You just save me the hassle of looking for your contact rune. I wanted to know how much gold these things are?" Zirrack said the moment Walden's hologram appeared.

"Long time no see, King Slayer." Walden felt like facepalming due to Zirrack's lack of basic courtesy and inability to give a fuck about them. "The details will be sent to your amulet later, but I have a mission for you."

"I am not interested in taking any commission, can't you see I am on a vacation." Zirrack said with an excited smile as he showed the corpse of the rugors.

'…' Walden stared blankly at Zirrack, as a lot of questions came up in his mind.

Usually, when one was on vacation they would usually go to places where they could relax and have fun with friends, but right in front of him was someone who the reverse was the case.

'Oh, for a moment I forgot who I was talking to…' Walden snapped out of his thoughts and spoke. "It involves three of your best students at the academy."

"Let me guess, Blake, Brian, and Castiel?" Zirrack asked with a 'not surprised look' on his face, but Walden took it as him not being interested and because he was well aware of the king layers short attention span and attitude, he quickly came up with an offer.

"Apart from that, the association has discovered some anomalies in the form of an unknown beast strong enough to displace almost every beast in the Bulian hills from their habitat. Also, the report says strange energy signatures were detected in the area and the association needs your assistance to investigate the region." Just like Walden had expected, the mention of a powerful beast got Zirrack's attention.

"So, what's in it for me?" Zirrack asked as his excited smile returned to his face.

"You have the freedom to request for anything you want, as long as it is the same rank as the mission." Walden said.
