Job location: Peace Village
Job description:
A message was sent to all guilds across Fiore, both legal and dark with the information that an army of ghosts and demons was spotted nearby Peace village. When you reach the place, all villagers will be in panic, begging you to stop the army before it reaches them. As you're about to leave an confront the incoming danger, a young girl will stop you saying that she has important information. If you decide to listen to her, she will tell you that the demonic army is actually her fault to some extend. She and her twin sister found a lost kitten several days back and decided that they would make the little furball into their pet. However, they had no idea that the creature was actually resurrected general from the past who wants to conquer the entire world. The fact that the kitty had a tiny mustache was probably the first warning they somehow ignored.
As it so happened, the general still had all of his magical powers, even in that new body of his. And when they least expected it, he possessed one of the twins, taking her body as her own. Like that, he regain the ability to use weapons and his magic to the fullest. With that power of his, he summoned his army from beyond the grave and is now heading towards this place, aiming to make it his new headquarters after he slaughters everyone. There is no doubt that the resurrected general has to be stopped, but the girl also wants to save her twin sister. Before you leave to fight, she will beg you to not harm the poor girl, for she had done nothing wrong. It will be up to you if you want to listen to her or ignore the request.
Enemies:
Weak: Spectral scouts x3
Ghosts that were summoned by the general to aid him in battle once more. Their entire body is blue and slightly transparent, but still fully corporeal which means that they can be attack without any problems. As scouts, they are very fast but not too strong. They fight with daggers and short swords, dealing A-rank damage if they hit and take 4 S-rank spells to take down each.
Normal: Spectral warriors x2
Just like the scouts, these guys were once fighting alongside the now resurrected general. Their bodies appear to be the same as the ones of scouts, meaning that they can take normal damage even after as ghosts. However, they are much more heavily equipped! They can have just about anything from swords, spears, bows to tower shields and great war hammers. They are not exactly fast, but their attacks can deal between S to 1.5 S-ranked damage depending on their weapon and they go down in 6 S-rank spells each.
Strong: Demon of war
An experienced warrior who's soul ended up in hell after he died. And there, it corroded beyond recognition. Now that he was resurrected by the general, he looks more like a demon with human's shape than anything else. Instead of any weapons, he uses giant claws that he has for hands, dealing 1.5 S-ranked damage with each hit and can be taken down with 8 S-ranked spells.
Boss: The resurrected general
PICTURE REFERENCE:
It's just a small girl with a cute kitty on her head. Except the girl is shielded by a dark aura and has a deadly stare in her eyes... and a tiny mustache? The poor girl is possessed by the cat and cannot control herself. She will attack anyone with her sword that deals H-ranked damage or her fists that deal 1.5 S-ranked damage, showcasing masterful skill with both. All of the dark aura around her also acts as her shield and will absorb any damage. It will shatter once damage equivalent to 20 S-ranked spells is inflicted and in that moment, it will be possible to remove the cat from her head. If the possessed girl is attacked at that time, she will get injured or might even die, which would fail the request from her sister, so be careful. Once that is done, the girl will return to normal and the evil general will be defeated! Just be careful not to put in on your head, else you'll be the next one to be possessed...
Reward: Double S-rank XP and great fame in the Peace Village. If the possessed twin is not harmed at all during the boss battle, all mages will be also rewarded 75,000 jewels.

Today was ruined.
That was what the selfish portion of Rohma’s brain couldn’t help declaring. Despite the things she’d learned about herself otherwise it was hard to not think of herself as a simple human woman. Rohma certainly wouldn’t go out into the streets and start shooting everything that moved as she held a respect for life, but the traveler would also accept the fact she wasn’t a saint either. This lack of sainthood only reared its head more on days where she’d simply planned to relax a bit while simultaneously pouring over some notes: basically a day for herself. Throw in the fact she’d returned just the other day from a bit of an excursion (she’d been gone for almost two weeks) to scope out a temple and you had someone who’d been looking forward to sleeping in that day.
Groans filled her bedroom, the woman unwilling to join the waking world and yet some ill-willed force demanded she return. Light pierced her eyelids, dazing her further as the dark haired woman shifted in her bed and her face became buried in a plush pillow. Why had she forgotten to close the curtain? Habit normally dictate they be closed, but a mental admittance permitted a mistake in lieu of fatigue the night before. A voice broke her mental berating for the oversight.
”Now, now, time to rise and shine!”
Immense loathing filled the drowsy mage, a growl rumbling into the pillow. If there ever existed someone Rohma wanted run over by a runaway carriage, a raging monster, train, or anything really it’d be him. Especially right now. For waking her. And making her thing it’d been her fault.
’Ass.’
The chuckle caused one of her fists to clench around a fistful of sheets, knowing he’d glimpsed her thoughts on but a whim, and his case of schadenfreude didn’t exactly help his case. Finally enraged blue eyes peered up to glower at the smiling face of Faeral, her mind setting him on fire for daring to be so cheery right now. Briefly she contemplated chucking her pillow at him, but decided that’d be too good for the asshole who’d invaded her room.
”Do forgive the intrusion-” she wouldn’t ”-but I’m afraid I have a little job for you. One that simply cannot wait given it’s time sensitive nature.” From where she laid Rohma could spy a neatly folded piece of paper in his gloved hand.
”And why can’t someone else do it? I’m trying to sleep.” Belatedly she cringed a little, realizing how callous that sounded. First thing in the morning wasn’t her strong point though, not after just coming back from travels.
That hardly phased Faeral though, the man now leaning against her desk with a small snort, ”Because I know what you can actually do compared to what you tell people. Because I already said you’d be one of the ones to do it. Because I can’t simply send Nightshade alone on something so dangerous such as this job.”
This time Rohma snorted, a half smirk aimed from the general comfort of her pillow still, ”If I didn’t know you better I’d claim you might be worried about her. Cute.”
”Well one can never be too careful,” he dismissed her concern as he pushed off the desk and boots thumped against the wooden floor, ”you’re probably more backup than anything, but I wouldn’t expect to get out of it without doing something either. And before you ask no, I can’t go: I have things I need to do in the meanwhile. Now don’t dawdle, I can’t be responsible for anything she does if you anger her.” The paper lightly smacked her in the face, eliciting another groan as she felt him leave.
”Still an ass.”
’Love you too, sis.’
With a mighty moan of sadness and regret at leaving the sanctity of her bed Rohma pulled open a drawer, exchanging her light sleepwear for a beat-up shirt and pair of shorts, lacing up her boots and grabbing a thin jacket. Pistol harness slapped over her shorts, Rohma grabbed the paper and it was halfway down the stairs she stopped in confusion, reading the paper a little more closely. Something…about a “mustachio’d little girl threatening to destroy Peace Village” really left one pondering if they’d actually woken up or been duped into an even stranger dream. Well details might be more forth coming once they arrived there, the woman trying to locate her only teammate since it seemed Wolfe up and left. She’d yet to really interact with the woman, but Faeral’s memories didn’t leave her very reassured on what to expect either.
