Previous Story: Kasana went to the Sancakra kingdom to create her identity at the guild. At night, Kasana got angry at a prince who was flirting with her. Kasana easily defeated him, and all the adventurers in the guild were happy.
The Story Begins:
It's daytime. Kasana has completed one mission from the guild. On her way back to the guild, Kasana is stopped by the prince she met yesterday at the guild.
Prince: "Hey you, witch, how dare you embarrass me at the guild yesterday. I will get my revenge! Fight me fairly, 1 vs 1."
Kasana looks at him from his feet to his head.
Kasana: "Who are you?"
Prince: "How dare you insult me!"
The prince draws his sword and points it at Kasana.
Prince: "Come on, fight me, you coward!"
Kasana: "I don't want to fight you, you're weak."
The prince doesn't accept this and starts ranting, drawing a crowd of citizens to watch the two of them. Kasana remains silent, recalling the events from the guild yesterday.
Kasana (thinking to herself): "That was just a coincidence, that I could defeat him. Now, if I fight him, I'm definitely going to lose."
The prince, who has been continuously ranting, starts to lose his patience because Kasana is ignoring him. The prince immediately approaches Kasana and attacks her with his sword.
Kasana, whose reflexes are lacking, tries to move back to avoid the sword but falls down instead. Suddenly, someone from the crowd steps into the conflict between Kasana and the prince, immediately stopping the prince's sword and saving Kasana.
Prince: "What are you doing?"
Citizen 1: "That's the Princess!"
Citizen 2: "Thank goodness the Princess is here to stop this fight."
Princess: "I should be the one asking that! Stop acting like a child."
The Princess parries the prince's sword, causing it to fly out of his hand.
Princess: "Go and cool your head before I tell Father."
The prince leaves. The Princess turns back to Kasana and offers her hand to help her stand up. Kasana accepts the Princess's help.
Princess: "I apologize for my brother putting you in danger."
Kasana: "It's no problem. Thank you for saving me just now."
Kasana (thinking to herself): "No way I'll forgive him."
Princess: "By the way, it's rare for anyone to dare to stand up to him. Who are you, actually?"
Kasana: "My name is Kasana, just a traveler from another kingdom."
Princess: "No wonder you're strong, you must be a great adventurer."
Kasana: "I'm not strong at all. I just became an adventurer at the guild."
Princess: "Then how do you fight the monsters out there?"
Kasana: "I don't fight monsters, I just avoid fighting them."
The Princess takes Kasana's hand.
Princess: "In that case, I will teach you how to fight monsters."
Kasana: "Uhh... No, no, no."
Kasana steps back, trying to run away, but the Princess grabs Kasana's clothes and drags her away.
Princess: "Come on, don't be shy. This is my apology for the trouble my brother caused."
Kasana: "I'm not shy, I really just don't want to."
Princess: "I forgot to tell you my name. Just call me Tiana."
Kasana: "NO!"
Kasana continues to refuse as Tiana drags her along.
Time passes. Kasana and Tiana arrive at the dock, where there are many small blue water slimes.
Kasana: "What kind of monster is that? It's small, blue, and looks disgusting."
Tiana: "Those are Water-type Slimes. Slimes are easy monsters to defeat. So, fight them with your magic."
Kasana: "I don't want to fight those disgusting monsters, and I can't use magic."
Princess: "You are like I was when I was little—I couldn't use magic either. I will help you. The most effective way to make you use magic is to put you in danger."
The Princess pushes Kasana closer to a small slime. Kasana grips her magic staff tightly.
Kasana: "Let me go! That disgusting monster is getting closer!"
Tiana: "Good, your panic level is increasing. Now believe in yourself that you can use magic before that slime defeats you."
Tiana helps hold Kasana's hand as Kasana grips her staff in fear.
Tiana: "Now, say the simplest spell, for example, 'Freeze'."
Kasana: "Freeze."
Kasana's magic staff doesn't cast any spell. The slime moves closer to Kasana. Kasana feels even more panicked and keeps chanting the spell repeatedly.
Kasana: "Freeze! Freeze! Freeze!"
Still no result. The slime jumps towards Kasana, making Kasana fall and become sticky with slime fluid. Tiana successfully dodges, avoiding the slime fluid.
Kasana: "Disgusting!"
Tiana: "It looks like you need to panic even more to gain confidence."
Many slimes emerge from the water and approach Kasana. There is also a large slime.
Tiana: "This is good now. I'll take care of the left side, and you take care of the right side, Kasana."
Tiana easily defeats the slimes on her side. Kasana watches Tiana and feels like she, too, can defeat monsters with magic.
Kasana stands up, approaches a slime, grips her magic staff tightly, and chants a spell.
Kasana: "Freeze!"
Still, no magic comes out of Kasana's magic staff. The large slime launches an attack by throwing fluid at Kasana's face from a distance, causing Kasana to be unable to breathe and roll on the ground.
Tiana, focused on defeating the slimes on her side, doesn't notice Kasana being pinned down by a slime.
The slime, initially small, grows a little larger and swallows Kasana's body whole. Finally, Tiana finishes her part and looks at Kasana. Tiana thinks for a moment about how to save Kasana, who is inside the slime's body.
Tiana: "How am I going to save her?"
Tiana casts a wind spell, causing the slime's body to explode. Kasana is successfully rescued, lying on the ground with even more slime fluid covering her body. Tiana approaches Kasana.
Tiana: "Are you okay, Kasana?"
Kasana stares at the clouds.
Kasana: "No."
Tiana: "Mission 1 complete. We will proceed to the next mission."
Kasana stares at Tiana.
Kasana: "What do you mean, next mission? How many missions are we going to complete?"
Tiana: "There are still 9 unfinished missions. Let's hurry before it gets dark."
Kasana (thinking to herself): "Hmph, 3 missions a day is already tiring, let alone 10."
Tiana pulls Kasana, while Kasana simply accepts being dragged, not putting up any resistance.
The scene shows Kasana and Tiana completing missions. In every mission, Kasana is always defeated by monsters, from possessed animals to actual monsters. As evening approaches, Kasana and Tiana complete 10 missions. Upon returning to the guild, Kasana is already sitting in a chair with her head resting on the table.
Tiana speaks to the receptionist.
Tiana: "Here are the 10 missions we completed. Just give the reward to Kasana."
Receptionist: "Alright, I will prepare the rewards. Thank you, Princess, for completing so many missions in one day."
The receptionist goes to the back to prepare the rewards.
Tiana: "That was really fun, Kasana. See you again sometime! Help me complete my duties again, okay?"
Tiana leaves the guild.
Kasana: "I can't possibly be with her again. Tiana has made my body so exhausted."
The receptionist gives the rewards to Kasana. Kasana takes all the rewards, advances to the next rank in the guild, and goes to her room to rest.
The view shifts to the forest, showing the angry prince swinging his sword at a tree.
Prince: "DAMN IT! My fun is ruined just because that witch showed up! I will make her apologize to me!"
As the prince swings his sword at the tree again, a woman wearing a mask suddenly appears from above the tree, flying upside down, startling the prince.
The prince is so surprised that he falls to the side, and his sword gets stuck in the tree. The masked woman laughs heartily.
Masked Woman: "Haha, what kind of shocked expression is that? It's so funny!"
Prince: "Stop mocking me! Do you want a fight?"
Masked Woman: "Haha, no, no. I'm here to help you. Do you want power?"
The prince stands up, brushing the dirt off his clothes.
Prince: "That's ridiculous. An weird woman just offering power to someone else."
The masked woman flips her body, landing on her feet. She then walks around the prince, cheerfully hopping.
The masked woman points her finger at the tree. A small black ball of magic appears from her fingertip. The magic moves slowly towards the tree. When it reaches the tree, the magic easily explodes the targeted tree.
Masked Woman: "Oops. How about now? Do you believe me? There's no way you can refuse. I know about your miserable life. I can help you become the strongest, able to defeat anyone, even your sister. And maybe you can get revenge on the witch who angered you."
The masked woman continues to tempt him with her words, while the prince starts to be seduced by the thought of gaining power.
Prince: "Alright, I want power. Hurry up and give it to me."
Masked Woman (thinking to herself): "It's so easy to trick someone weak like him."
The masked woman gives power to the prince. The prince feels a sharp pain in his body, and his loud scream is heard.
