Putting the money aside, Rain thought that it would be useful to be the healer in the school and see the kids sparring. Dealing with them will be a massive pain in the ass, but he should learn more than a few things while watching it.

"Before going there, I should also try to develop the skills of those famous guys…" Rain thought. "I am lacking a bit when it comes to long-ranged attacks, so maybe I should try Archery since it won't use mana."

While Rain was thinking about that, he realized that it would have been more useful for the school if they had taught healing magic to some kids and made them heal the wounded during the training sessions. He couldn't imagine why they wouldn't, though.

In any case, Rain imagined that he would find a job to repair the walls the next day, but he didn't find them. It seemed that the other groups weren't worried that their side of the walls would be attacked.

"If negligence was a crime…" Rain thought.

It was a pain, but Rain, for the next few days, took the job of cleaning the sewers. Much to his surprise, it was a maze down there, and he had to ventilate the entire thing with magic and push down a bunch of disgusting stuff to the ends of the sewers. He also had to burn it down later… but at least it seemed that it was only cleaned once a month.

On the day Rain finished the cleaning, he was returning to the guild with some extra coins in his pocket, but he still felt like sighing. Until he stopped when a carriage stopped by his side. When he looked in the same direction, Rain saw Branden with two girls by his side. At first, they frowned, but then they covered their noses. It seemed that Rain smelled a bit.

"Hey, it seems that you have been working hard," Branden said. "I want to ask a few things, but all of them would feel like sarcasm right now."

Rain didn't say anything since he didn't know if Branden had been working hard. Considering the situation, it seemed that he was enjoying his youth quite a bit.

"I am guessing that you only took solo jobs until now. Are you ready to take some group ones?" Branden asked.

"Maybe?" Rain shrugged.

"It seems that the magic people are unleashing some beasts on the western side of our territory to keep our soldiers busy, but we don't have enough manpower and resources to deal with them, so we received a request to deal with them," Branden asked. "Are you up for it?"

"I thought that we had more people specialized in Monster Hunting. Why are you asking me?" Rain asked.

"The pay isn't that high, so those who had a lot of experience won't accept it without another good reason," Branden replied. "This is a good chance for the younger members of the organization, though."

Rain could understand that. He didn't have much experience in monster hunting, either. Still, he couldn't understand why the magic people would rely on monsters now of all time. Were they preparing something big and wanted to disperse the forces and resources of the humans? That was pretty cunning of them…

"I suppose this is a good chance… I have to work with others sooner or later," Rain replied after thinking for a while.

"I will send the message to Karla and tell her that you will participate; I will also select the other members by pitching in some extra money for the reward," Branden said. "Try to get along with them, all right?"

Rain felt really troubled by hearing that from a kid who had lived twenty fewer years than him. Still, it made sense… putting kids to work together when they don't know each other is essentially a recipe for trouble.

Rain went to his room after taking a good shower. He finished early that day as well, so he had some time for some magic training… he had planned to do the archery training, but he didn't have much free time while cleaning the sewers.

"I didn't learn anything interesting this week, so there is nothing to say to Lotto, but shouldn't I get a weapon since we are going monster hunting?" Rain thought.

Rain assumed that he could fight ordinary monsters with magic, but it was better to be safe than sorry. While he was thinking about that, Rain was standing with his arms crossed, and now and then, he would levitate a bit using wind magic. Thanks to that, he soon got a food result.

An unknown skill leveled up.

The Healer's Path received 600 experience points.

While he was reading his book, Rain learned that there was a wind mage that could fly. That kind of ability required the highest level of mastery over wind magic, so Rain decided to try that, and thanks to it, he was gaining a lot of experience even though he was barely moving from the ground.

On the first day, his feet didn't even move, but now he was going three centimeters upward, so that was progress.

"I won't be able to train that much during the mission, and my mana needs to be always high in order to avoid trouble as well…" Rain thought.

Roan always told him to interact with other kids more, so Rain wondered how that mission would play out. By his experience, he wasn't expecting much since he was going to be an outsider in a group that most likely had kids that had been friends for years.
