I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

"Well, my name is Clay - I'm so sorry. We're not here to find adventurers to be bodyguards, but to be adventurers and take on missions." Claire and Raziel looked at each other and said awkwardly.

"Huh—?" Sheila opened her beautiful eyes wide and questioned, "Just you two? One of you is muscular, but he looks like he hasn't been through much exercise; the other one is short and white-haired, and looks like a weakling—"

Claire's veins throbbed, "Are you looking for a fight?"

Raziel rudely tapped Claire's smooth arm and said, "Go hit her." I don't like her saying that.

Well, that's not the case. This guy doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, just a bit of a foul mouth.

Seeing the young lady's proud look, Claire sighed, "Forget it. Just treat us as weaklings."

Then he leaned forward with his strong shoulders, looking very familiar.

"Hey, beautiful lady, do you have any good missions to recommend?"

Sheila asked suspiciously, "Why are you so enthusiastic?"

"You're beautiful." Claire said without hiding anything.

"——What are you asking for?" Xila stuttered and her little face turned red.

"Are you looking down on me?"

She had always been described as wild, violent, and a bit like a female gorilla. This was the first time I had ever heard such praise.

Although this praise came from another male gorilla (Fog).

"Of course not. You have such strange ideas. Can't you hear that I'm praising you?"

"......real?"

"Of course, top-notch innocence."

Xila snorted, "Forget it. You don't seem like a bad guy, so I'll recommend you a mission."

"A businessman is organizing a group to go to the capital and needs an escort. Well, at least B-rank."

Level B is probably at the stage of guiding the spirit into the body. At this level, whether it is a mage or a warrior, they have officially entered the threshold of "strong".

"B-rank? We haven't registered as adventurers yet, but is this okay with you?"

After saying that, Claire took a deep breath and began to mobilize the magic power in her body.

The air around her seemed to freeze in an instant, and then a powerful aura emanated from her, as if an invisible storm was brewing.

"Well, I did feel your power. But why does it feel so strange?"

Sure enough, Xila had never seen a magician before. If it was a magician, he would be able to detect the subtle difference in power in an instant.

The warrior's training method is inspired by the barbarian's breathing.

In the end, a series of methods were developed to absorb the magic power in the air and combine it with life force to form "fighting spirit", which is actually still magic power. And during the spirit-inducing stage, the magician also needs to temper his body with magic power to strengthen himself.

However, a magician acts with his mind first, while a warrior acts with his body first.

If they are of the same kind, they can naturally feel the subtle difference. Simply put, if the magic power on the body makes it difficult to capture the trajectory of the movement, then it is likely that the person is a magician.

And if these magical powers are fixed in various parts of the body and are as "solid" as a rock, then that person is a warrior.

Claire only showed the extent of guiding the spirit into her body, without fully revealing herself.

"But never mind. It's indeed B-rank. As for the Adventurer's Guild certification, I'll recommend it to you. Remember, this is my care for you."

Xila brought Claire to the employer, who was a businessman. When they met him, he was still on the road selling products with other colleagues. He had a big smile on his face and his eyes were always filled with ingratiating expressions.

When he finished the discussion and learned that Claire was here to recommend herself, he immediately put on a shrewd look.

"Since it was recommended by an A-rank adventurer, I naturally trust it."

"But I have to say in advance, I don't think you have a very strong aura. You look shy and inexperienced."

"The roads along the way are winding and sometimes we have to live in the wilderness for weeks. If we encounter mountains, we have to walk around them. If the weather changes, we have to hide in caves."

Claire readily agreed, saying these were minor issues. "So, what about food, clothing, housing, and transportation along the way?"

"Of course I'll put someone in charge. You just need to be on guard. But is this little girl really okay? She doesn't look like a warrior."

"Oh, don't be fooled by her short stature. She's actually a famous assassin, skilled with daggers and poisons... You've also seen her expressionless face. She kills without blinking."

The businessman shuddered. "All right, all right. I believe it, isn't it?"

"Then as agreed, I will give each of you 50 gold coins after we arrive at the capital."

One gold coin is enough for an average family's food and drink expenses for a month. It's true that high-level security guards are all about making money. Claire sighed.

.....

After a night's rest, everyone left Loma City early the next morning and headed north.

"Goodbye, my Holy Light Secret Art!"

Next time I have a chance, I will come back to look for Argon's secret technique.

Five days later, the caravan entered a meadow near the Imer Plain. The surrounding terrain looked like a valley. Because of the rain in the past few days, a lot of rainwater had accumulated, making the soil soft and the horses could hardly move.

What was even more distressing was that there were unknown blood-sucking insects biting everyone nearby.

Raziel's eyes were watery, and he was so annoyed that he could hardly keep up his poker face.

Although she secretly used magic to drive away some insects, the hot and humid air and the howling of unknown monsters coming from the wilderness from time to time still made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Infuriating!"

Claire felt okay. On the contrary, she felt that during this journey, she could see the vastness of the real world.

Moreover, there are two girls chatting with me along the way, isn’t that wonderful?

"Hey, Sheila, why do you always have such a sour face? Is it because you don't have a man? What do you think of me?"

Claire's current image is that of a tough guy, so of course she has to speak like a man. And no matter how extreme her words are, as long as she later reveals that she is actually a woman, all her mistakes can be forgiven.

That's where the fun is.

"Ha—whatever happens to me is none of your business. It's just a B-rank."

Along the way, she also asked other adventurers indirectly and learned a lot about her.

This red-haired girl was originally the daughter of a minor noble family in Roma. She was spoiled since childhood. Later, when she was ten years old, her brother offended a big shot in the royal capital, which led to the whole family being burned to death. In the end, she was the only one who escaped by chance.

Finally she realized the importance of individual strength.

In order to seek revenge, Xila desperately went to the Hengduan Mountains, which is known as the first forbidden area, and found a breathing method in the marginal area. The breathing method was very strange and seemed to be completely different from the current knight's breathing method.

The final result, of course, was that revenge was achieved by relying on that magical breathing method.

Logically speaking, her temper should have been restrained because of her brother's teachings, but unexpectedly, she became even more aggressive.
