One week went by since Anthony and his muscle men came back from the floating island.
Everyone has gone back to their normal boring schedule of classes, train, take on a mission, sleep, read, repeat.
Anthony got up from his sleep and went through his normal morning routine, then left his room.
Today he decided to do something different.
He has decided to take a mission.
Anthony has never taken any mission since he came to the Academy domain, he simply saw no need for them as he was too lazy to move his body while he could make money by placing bets while lying down.
He walked around the Academy and arrived at the mission hall like he has always been coming here.
He looked around and saw people walking around and looking through missions they wanted to take.
He walked to a clerk and proceeded to ask some questions.
"Hello, I want to take up a mission"
The clerk who was busy typing on her computer didn't raise her head and simply waved her hand and a heads up display appear before Anthony.
"This is the list of all the available missions, pick one and I will register it"
The Academy lumped all missions together, they didn't bother to grade it or anything.
All missions had a clear requirement, like being a S ranker before attempting and all that, they didn't obstruct those that want to court death.
If a B ranker took a mission that clearly stated it needs the S rank and died during the mission, it didn't concern the Academy.
They don't raise idiots or people who overestimate themselves.
But of course they would look into your death, if its normal then you are added to the list of arrogant and idiotic corpse.
If its not normal, the Academy would exert revenge no matter who it is.
So its an unspoken rule amongst everyone not to touch students while they are in the Academy domain or school is still on.
Anthony scrolled through the mission, but he didn't see anything that could make him move or even feel motivated.
It went from the shining blue to blood red like it was giving off a warning and ominous feeling.
The words were written in black ink further intensify ominous feeling anyone would receive.
This heads up display contains the top ten 'Impossible' missions.
Of course in a sense it's possible, if not it won't even be there to begin with, but they are called impossible because of the stringent requirements.
Only people who could battle across ranks touched this type of missions.
Even the tenth mission which was the weakest on the list required a battle prowess of SSS- rank at least, which was quite theatrical.
Graduation requirement of SS- rank, but dishing mission of SSS- rank minimum.
The Impossible mission list has always been updated because; [1] once in few years, someone would complete one or two missions, showing how ridiculously talented they were to battle across ranks and [2] because the Academy just completes the mission itself if its been there for a long time, or other guilds and organisations outside the Academy completes it before the Academy does.
But.... throughout the history of the Academy, nobody has ever completed the mission ranked fifth to first.
Those who have tried either died or survived by running away with their life saving treasure.
Such is how hard these missions were, the higher the ranking, the harder it gets.
So on the impossible mission list, the top five stood unshaken and consumed the lives of many genius students over the years.
Anthony's father had challenged every single mission from the tenth to the first.
He was a battle maniac, there was no way he would not challenge the mission, if the Academy added it to their mission list, then there was a possibility it was doable, these were his thoughts at that time.
Null Michael single handedly cleared all five lower missions from tenth to the sixth.
Each all ridiculously strong and difficult, always coming back with his life hanging on a thread.
But as a battle maniac, all those battle that put him on the brinks of death made him stronger whenever he came back from the brinks of death.
This is a cheat exclusive to battle maniacs where one slip up means death.
But even after it all, Null Michael still failed the fifth ranked mission and had to be saved by his father Null Collins.
Null Collins knowing the death rate of the impossible mission won't allow his son to court death, and who better to ensure his son's life other than himself.
