"Hey, Rowan."
As Rina called out to him, Rowan opened his eyes.
He had been resting for about an hour. After inspecting the forest and installing a couple of traps, he climbed to the tallest branch of the tree to observe.
Several monsters roamed the Thorn Forest border, which was causing the nearest town some trouble for a week.
Just two days ago, a hunter was chewed alive in the forest. While the other day, seven children went missing.
The town's mayor raised this issue with the kingdom's general. They forwarded it to Nova, calling it a futile task.
Nova had assigned this task, a group mission. To Elise and her teammates. To eliminate the monsters roaming in Thorn Forest.
Though Rowan, Cristine, and Rina had some argument with the professor regarding Elise being the mission leader.
Being a leader on a mission makes a huge difference, you'll get an overall boost to your Hero Rank if you succeed.
Rowan was ranked 5th in the second year, while Elise was ranked 1st.
