Shiro: The Secret Hero
27. First Mission

Next day.

Shiro and the others had arrived at the gathering place. They are still waiting for Shiryuu-senpai to arrive.

"I can't wait to fight monsters" Brendy said excitedly.

"Me too, but it looks like we're not going to fight a powerful monster." replied Denshu somewhat skeptically.

Shiro nodded when he heard Desnhu's response. He also felt that, it was impossible for the apprentices of their class to receive such a difficult mission.

As for Brendy, he looked rather disappointed when he heard that. It seemed like he could not display his best skills.

While waiting for Shiryuu-senpai, they kept talking, many things they talked about. Shiryuu-senpai came to them.

"Sorry kids, I'm a little late today, there was some family business just now." Shiryuu-senpai tried to apologize to Shiro and the others.

"It's okay senpai, let's just start the mission" said Denshu.

"Okay, for the mission it has been decided for you" Shiryuu-senpai said as she showed the Mission Paper.

"Oh what is it ? Are we going to fight the monsters ?" brendy asked with excitement.

Shiryuu-senpai nodded and began to explain the details of her mission. " Yes, we're going to catch a monster. We'll go to the forest that's southeast of the City to catch the monster of the Wind Weasel."

" huh? Wind Weasel. Why senpai?"

"This is the mission of the Yuki Family Industry. One of his farms in the Southeast of the City often suffered loss of livestock in the form of poultry. And after investigation, it turns out that the Wind Civet who lives nearby often comes and preys on poultry there." explained Shiryuu-sensei.

"Oh but why should senpai be arrested instead of being killed immediately ?" ask Brendy who is still confused.

"Indeed it can be killed, but the Wind Weasel can be captured and tamed as a Battle Pet. Isn't that more profitable? "

Hearing Shiryuu-senpai's explanation, Shiro and the others nodded. They know how the business moves. As long as it is profitable, it will be done.

Of course, risks must be considered as well. Wages must also be adjusted, the price to kill is smaller than to catch. Because it is very difficult to catch monsters that are still in good condition, without any defects.

"Let's leave now, daylight is very suitable to catch Wind Civets, they usually sleep when the day is hot and come out when the condition has begun to shade"

"Good senpai"

They hurried off to the Southeastern location of the City.

After more than an hour of running, they finally arrived at the Southeastern Suburbs of the City.

"Before we start, please rest for a while" Shiryuu-senpai said.

"Ya~"

After hearing Shiryuu-senpai's orders, they finally began to rest. While Shiryuu-senpai, he went to no where.

It looks like Denshu who suffered greatly from running far enough without stopping at all. Because, among them only Denshu who has the endurance and stamina are the weakest.

"Huh Huh.. Oiy Shiro, your physique is almost the same as mine, but your breath seems ordinary, there is no sign of fatigue at all" Denshu began to ask Shiro, there was an envious tone in every word.

Brendy who heard that nodded, he began chiming in, "Yes Shiro, you don't even look sweaty at all, then a few times you almost cut Shiryuu-senpai, what's the secret ?"

"There are no secrets, only exercises are propagated. Besides, it wasn't me who was very fast, Shiryuu-senpai who deliberately slowed down waiting for you guys" Shiro replied in a condescending tone.

Hearing that, Denshu and Brendy nodded, they seemed to agree with Shiro's statement. They also started thinking about adding more portions of their exercise.

After about 10 minutes of rest, Shiryuu-senpai approached them.

"You guys please start the mission, please catch the Wind Weasel and bring it here. I'll wait for you here. Oh yes one more, you can not cooperate, you must separate and catch the Wind Weasel alone and do not go into the interior of the forest too far, fearing you will get lost" said Shiryuu-senpai.

"Yes senpai"

After hearing Shiryuu-senpai's orders, Shiro and the others began to enter the forest's interior, of course according to their instructions they separated in various directions.

Shiro Side. He was leaving the forest interior, he always checked the surrounding conditions using his perception.

After quite a walk, he finally found the location of the Wind Weasel through his perception.

Not far ahead, precisely under the stump of the tree, there is a hole that is quite large and inside there is a Wind Weasel who is sleeping fast. The wind weasel does not realize that there is a danger to love him, namely Shiro.

Shiro walked over, but as the distance approached about 100 meters, the Wind Weasel's ears swayed slightly, it seemed like he was beginning to realize something.

Shiro stopped stepping and slowly retreated, afraid that the Wind Weasel would wake up and run away.

' It seems like this is one of the opportunities to try out a transfer Skill' Shiro thought.

Yes, Shiro was intending to try the Space Transfer Skill with the Wind Weasel in front of him. He has never tried this skill with a target of living beings and this is one of the test opportunities.

Before Shiro used the Space Transfer Skill, he had to see the surrounding conditions first, he did not want the use of the skill to be known by others.

Once it was safe enough, he took out one small Blade and his Soul Weapon.

In addition to trying the Displacement Skill, he also intended to try the Skill from his Soul Weapon which was to make the enemy who saw the blade fall asleep.

Shiro focused on detecting Aura on his knife and the Wind Weasel sleeping under the tree stump.

Shiro then held his sword-shaped Soul Weapon in his hand. And a small knife in his left hand

`ctekkk~`

Then Shiro threw the small knife up and plucked a finger in his left hand, immediately the thrown knife turned into a Wind Weasel.

The Wind Weasel seemed to wake up when he felt something was wrong, he was surprised to see it thrown in the air. He intends to escape.

But Shiro did not stay silent, he injected Aura into his sword to activate the Sleep Skill and pointed it towards the Wind Weasel that was in the air.

The Wind Weasel who sensed something, glanced towards Shiro's Sword. His head felt heavy and he fell asleep without knowing what was happening.

Shiro who saw the scene, immediately caught the Wind Weasel who was free-falling by the pull of gravity.

"Well, it looks like it worked and went smoothly"

Shiro was very excited when he finished trying his new skill.

He tried to move again. But this time he tried while carrying the burden of the Wind Weasel. After that Shiro took out another knife and threw it. No way Shiro teleported to the knife under the stump of the tree, right ?

`ctekk~`

Shiro teleported while carrying the Wind Weasel in his hand. It seemed like he could teleport while carrying someone else.

After that Shiro took the two knives he had thrown and turned to the Wind Weasel in his hand

"It seems that it's quite playful to get here, it's time to go back to Shiryuu-senpai"
