Chapter 124: Selecting a mission for her team
When they entered the Mission House, they went to the Mission Hall to go see missions that was available for them at their spellcasting level.
When they arrived at the Mission Hall, they saw that the hall was extremely large in size. It had a really enormous space that it would definitely contain thousands of people at once with lot of spaces still left in between them.
"Wow!" Helena and Lydia couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
From outside, the Mission House itself looked small to contain about a hundred people. But upon entering the Mission Hall, their thoughts were proved wrong, as the hall alone was large enough to contain thousands of people.
Lydia and Helena shook their heads with their minds reeling in awe.
Then they chose to go to the stand for the two-star missions. And when they got there, they checked the section for the Golden Two-Star missions.
Then the mission that they saw for the Golden Two-Star missions were:
GOLDEN TWO-STAR MISSIONS:
'MISSION: Bring 100 fire pearls which can be used to increase the quality of fire-bound, Earth-level offensive magical artifact.
REWARD: 10,000 contribution points.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Easy
....................
MISSION: Bring the corpses of Silver Onyx magical beasts in the Cleghorn forest.
REWARD: 15,000 contribution points.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Hard
....................
MISSION: Bring a dozen green eyes of Azuretooth crocodiles from the Ember lake.
REWARD: 20,000 contribution points.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Hard
.....................
They went through all the missions available and eventually picked one that gave more contribution points. But with a difficulty level that showed: 'Extremely Dangerous'. However, they weren't scared of the mission that they took, since it wasn't only one person that was going for it. They were five going for it and they were all powerful in their own right.
When they were done, they went to look at the Mission Leadership Board to see the names of the people that were on the board. Also, they were expecting Sandra's name to be on it.
When they got there and looked at the large board that contained names of only twenty people, they weren't surprised to find Sandra's name there at the number one spot.
They only shook their head in awe when they recalled all the amazing things that she told them she had done.
Then when they looked at the Leader Achievement Board, a board that was nine feet wide and six feet long and was adjacent to the Mission Leadership Board, Helena and Lydia became heavily surprised to see things that Sandra never told them in there. Also, only her achievements could be found there, since it was a board that showed only the achievements of the name of the No. 1 person on the Mission Leadership Board.
...............
SANDRA WITHERSTONE
< ACHIEVEMENTS >
First to take and complete Golden and Platinum Four-Star missions.

Has won every group and individual battle since she joined.
First to hit five hundred contribution points.
...
"Wow!" Helena and Lydia uttered with eyes fully widened by shock as they read through her long list of achievements.
Then they sighed when they realized that she even reduced her achievements for them when she was speaking with them outside the Mission House earlier. But they understood why she did that, which was she didn't want them to them feel bad and really intimidated.
"Can we be as powerful as her?" Helena asked with a perceivable faltering tone in her voice.
"Sure you can. And even more than her. But she is really strong. Wow!!" Lydia said while Helena nodded her head with a smile in her face.
"I guess I have to become more serious and diligent with spellcasting, if I ever want to beat her numerous insane records. Or only her achievements will remain on this board till eternity." Helena said while Lydia grinned and nodded.
"Alright. Let's return to inform the other girls about the mission that we have taken." Helena said.
"Okay" Lydia said.
Then they left the Mission House to go to their rooms.
"Wait, I think we need to first inform the Camp Overseer on the mission that we took." Helena suddenly said.
"Hmm. That's right. Okay. Let's go meet her" Lydia said.
Then they changed their direction and began to walk to where Roselyn's office was.
Many minutes later, since they walked at a leisure pace, they finally arrived before Roselyn's office.
But before they could knock on the large wooden door of her office, the wooden door automatically swung open for them with Roselyn's voice gently sounding out "Come in girls."
Helena and Lydia nodded their heads and then entered the office.
"Good day, ma'am" They both politely greeted.
Roselyn only nodded her head.
She then asked "What mission have you girls selected for your cult group?"
Helena nodded once the question was asked.
She then proceeded to read out the mission that she and Lydia agreeably selected for their team.
"Demolish and burn the five enormous shrines of cannibalistic Witches based at the Smoothstone Kingdom and Redsand kingdom." Helena said.
"Hmm. And how many contribution points would that fetch you on it completion?" Roselyn asked.
"A hundred thousand points, ma'am" Helena answered.
"Wow. That's much. Well, it's good, since you five would be going together for it" Roselyn said while Helena nodded.
Roselyn then asked further "When would you and the rest of the girls go for this mission?"
"Tomorrow, I guess" Helena responded.
"Alright. You can go to your rooms now to rest for tomorrow's adventurous journey. I will have my girls prepare themselves to open a portal for you girls to go into the world." Roselyn said while Helena and Lydia nodded.
Then they left Roselyn's office together.
"Helena, you can go to your room to relax. I will go to Deborah's and Lucretia's room to tell them to come to your place later in the day." Lydia said.
"Okay. Thank you" Helena said.
She then left for her room to rest while Lydia went to both Lydia's and Lucretia's room to inform them to come to Helena's place later.

Evening...
"Senior Helena, that was the mission that you took?" Lauren asked with shock in her eyes.
"Yea. Any problem with it?" Helena asked with surprise in her eyes.
She then spoke again before Lauren could reply.
'I guess the mission gave you fright since we would be facing cannibalistic witches" Helena said with a smile in her face.
"Well, a bit. Since they would feed off on one's beautiful skin if one was slightly careless and got captured by them." Lauren said.
She then said further "But the mission sounds cool. We would fight with witches."
"Yea. But apart from demolishing their shrines and burning it, we would have to kill them too. Hope you are aware of that? And by way, have you girls ever killed before? Or it would hold you back when you are about to kill anyone of them. Besides, it might get you captured by them once you start holding back" Helena said.
Once Helena said that, Lauren nodded her head.
She then said "I know that I would be incapacitated by my feelings when I get the chance to kill those flesh-feeding vermins, senior Helena. But I would absolutely try my best to cut off their heads. They are evil people and deserve to be fully destroyed, and their shrines and whatever place they have, leveled to the ground and burnt to ashes."
Helena nodded her head.
She then looked at Deborah and asked with a smile in her face "Hope you won't have problem with killing those bastards that we would face once we start attacking their shrines?"
"Well, I would. But I will do my best to not allow my feelings hold me back. Those are devilish creatures that need to be slain. So, I will do my utmost best to make sure that they are wiped away from the surface of our world." Deborah replied.
Helena nodded her head.
She then turned her head to look at Lucretia.
"What about you Lucretia? Hope you won't be held back by your heart when you get the chance to slay one of them after an intense spellcasting battle?" Helena asked.
Lucretia smiled.
"Well, I certainly would want to be held back by my emotions which would start to roil. But as Lauren and Deborah have rightly said, they are fiendish flesh-eating creatures that need to be destroyed. So, I will do my part to kill them whenever I get the chance to." She said.
Helena nodded her head.
She then said to the girls around her with a smile in her face "I selected this mission because of a reason. And this reason was because when I was younger, I came across a powerful witch that wanted to tear me and many other kids apart, with the intention of feeding on our skins, bones and organs."
"If not for some people of a race called the Fey race who came to our aid when we were able to briefly escape from that cannibal witch, I could have been gruesomely killed and then totally chewed and swallowed up."
"I will always owe that race a favor."
"So, when we go into the world for our mission, I would like to go to that race first to see how they are doing, then we can carry on to complete our mission."
