Kai stood in the corner of the Adventurer's League, the coarse job scrolls crinkling between his fingers. He flipped through them one by one, frowning. Errands. Deliveries. Vermin-clearing. And not a single one about tutoring or mentoring.
'I guess they are rare.'
He checked the jobs posted on the job board on the wall. There were no postings about tutoring, but there were much more difficult jobs. More difficult than an Ash-ranked adventurer should be able to handle.
He grimaced, eyes trailing to the bottom of his coin pouch. It felt far too light now, the wealth he'd plundered from Orlin's treasury dwindling faster than he'd hoped.
Three decisions formed in his mind like cracks in glass: Sign Kleo up to the League, take a quest far beyond what they should, and try to find a sovereign soul to consume.
He turned on his heel and left the building.
