Quest Rewards

[Ace POV],

I wouldn't lie if I said I had expectations for the rewards the quest could provide, and because I had two quests to submit, I could compare the rewards and see how their values differed for future decisions.

If the reward from the dungeon is greater than the one from the challenge trial, I will always try my hardest to aim for higher performance in future submitting type quests I may receive in the future; however, if the reward from the dungeon is not significantly greater than the one from the challenge trial, I will not bother aiming for higher performance in future quests.

In the end, my decision was based on the value of the rewards I'd receive from both quests.

I read the text on the panel in front of me while these thoughts ran through my head.

[Quest; Cross the bridge/Defeat the guardian],

[Status: Completed],

​ [After receiving the quest for the challenge trial and defending against the monsters that followed, you completed the quest after passing the Guardian test, which was to cross the foggy bridge, making you eligible to confirm your submission for the quest to receive your reward],

I nodded after reading the text on the blue panel in front of me because it was exactly as I expected when I read the summary of how the quest was completed.

The reason I chose to begin with the challenge trial quest was simple. It was primarily because it was my first quest. Apart from that, I wanted to start with this before moving on to my other quest because I rated that higher than the challenge trial quest, even though I haven't received my rewards from both quests to compare.

The summary of how I completed the quest was as expected, and since there was nothing particularly interesting to see there, I skipped ahead to the main deal as I willed my thoughts to accept the quest reward.

[Do you want to choose to complete the quest; Cross the bridge/Defeat the guardian?],

[Y/N],

'Yes'

[Quest Completed],

[Evaluating Performance],

[Evaluation Complete],

[Issuing reward],

[Receive reward?],

I didn't rush to get my reward because I had a few thoughts after reading the text that appeared on the panel just after I submitted my will to complete the quest.

Aside from the beginning, the rest of the text on the screen reminded me of the stage one event that occurred when all of this began.

I was also evaluated by the primordial chronicle at the end of stage one, and just like that time, I was rewarded. It's very similar to what I'm going through right now.

This made me suspect that the reward I was going to receive from the challenge trial quest was going to be a free ticket, and honestly, if this was going to be the reward I was going to receive from the quest, it was very much appreciated.

As I considered these things, I finally decided to accept the quest's reward, as my expectations of what the reward might be changed as I waited to see what the reward would be.

[Receive reward?],

'Yes'

[Reward Distributed],

[Choose the reward of your choice],

*Physique Exercise Manual

*Magic Exercise Manual

[Manuel received from both choices are set at random],

'Huh?'

To say the least, I was perplexed after reading the text that appeared unexpectedly after I confirmed my will to receive the quest reward.

I was perplexed so because the reward I was expecting to appear directly did not appear.

For one thing, I never expected the primordial chronicle to let me choose the reward I wanted, and while it wasn't the free ticket I was expecting, it was still a good thing.

I was a little confused because everything happened so quickly, and I had no idea what the two rewards meant in the first place.

I could tell from their names that one of the rewards was related to magic and the other was probably related to the body because it had physique in its name.

Something that piqued my interest was what the two rewards meant. There was nothing about them in my basic alchemy knowledge, so I couldn't conclude what they were.

I was also curious if I was the only one who had received this type of reward.

'What did the others receive?' I reflected, and as soon as I did, I turned to face the others in the room, who were all staring at the empty air with slightly blank expressions on their faces.

Everyone except Mia, who had fallen asleep in Anna's arms at some point.

Seeing this, I turned to Emma, who was perhaps more knowledgeable about things other than me on the team.

Emma seemed to be very knowledgeable about things related to magic, based on my previous interactions with her.

Perhaps this contributed to her advancement in magic, or perhaps she, like me, exchanged for knowledge after the stage one reward was distributed. I was leaning toward the idea that Emma exchanged for knowledge since there was no way she could be knowledgeable about magic when everyone started from the same starting line.

So she either exchanged knowledge for knowledge or obtained knowledge about magic and spells from an orb, which was also very likely.

As I was thinking of these things, I called Emma's name and pulled her out of what she was doing, turning her to face me.

"Emma, I need your help with something," I said, and Emma motioned for me to proceed.

When I saw this, I spoke up again.

"Do you know what a magic exercise is?" I inquired as I decided to question Emma about the one concerning her fort first, but instead of directly answering my question, Emma revealed her primordial chronicle panel as she spoke.

"Did you also receive something like this?" she asked as I turned to look at her panel in front of me, and when I saw that it was the same as it appeared on my panel when I chose to receive the quest reward, I replied.

"Looks like you were offered the same thing," I said, and then another two panels suddenly appeared in front of me.
