The Branch Manager came back after a while. He presented the registration form. "You know how to write, right? Or do you want me to write it for you?"


    "No need. I''ll write it myself." Anna shook her head and immediately grabbed the feather pen and filled out the form.


    After that, the Branch Manager presented her with a bronze badge and said, "This is the badge for Bronze Inquisitor. You need this if you want to get or turn in a mission. Please bring this wherever you go."


    "I know. Is there anything else I need to know about the organization?"Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    "Our organization is simr to the Demon Banner Army. We have many branches all around the kingdoms for two reasons. First, we want to keep the nobles and other parties like the Tower Association and the Demon Banner Army in check. Second, the branches can be used as a rest spot for the inquisitor.


    "Each branch is equipped with a few rooms to rest if you don''t have enough money or want to save some money. Of course, it''s not mandatory to use the rooms. If you don''t like it, you''re free to use the inns, though, we won''t cover it for you."


    "How do I be a tinum Inquisitor?" Anna asked.


    "That''s simple. You just have to finish the missions. I''m sure you have seen it beforeing to this room. In the hall, you should have seen the big board with a lot of papers sticking to it. That is the request board.


    "The missiones from nobles or wealthy merchants. As for the missions, they cane in various types such as escorting and so on. You''ll be paid in points if youplete the mission."


    Anna thought for a moment and asked, "What if the clients are asking something ridiculous?"


    "…" The Branch Manager knew what Anna was thinking. Since they were the employer, they had more rights than them.


    And it was especially true when the royal family was messing with Anna. In other words, they might take advantage of this situation to request an atrocious thing.


    However, the Branch Manager couldn''t do anything other than say ording to the rule, "Unless you are a Gold or tinum Inquisitor, you''re the only one who will choose your mission. So, there''s no pressure from my side.


    "Of course, there will be a penalty if you choose to abandon the mission. So, if your employer is asking a ridiculous thing, you only have two options: suck it up or quit the mission."


    Anna frowned. This wasn''t something eptable in the Demon Banner Army. At the very least, the Demon Banner Army would back their people up in case a case like this happened.


    On the other hand, the organization was a dirtier ce than the army. They didn''t support each other. Even your ten-year best friend would stab you in the back if the opportunity arrived.


    Anna knew exactly what was going to happen to her.


    She couldn''t help but close her eyes, muttering inwardly, ''Now that I don''t have Noel with me, I feel a bit scared to go forward. One misstep might destroy me.


    ''In my past life, I never experienced something like this because I was too ignorant to know what was happening behind the scenes. And the result was my death.


    ''This time, I have to go through all this, beating all those dirty people in their own game. If not, Noel would be able to surpass me effortlessly.


    ''That''s not going to happen. In this life, I''m going to stand at the top with Noel and unravel the connection between the royal family and the Supreme Devil Organization. I''m going to bring the kingdom to its golden age while making sure no one can control or betray me.''


    Anna took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I understand the mission. Onest question, since our purpose is to keep the Demon Banner Army and the Tower Association in check, shouldn''t we have an espionage system that can track them?"


    "Of course, we do. Though, you might need to get some points to exchange the information. Also, I can''t guarantee you if their information is correct or not."


    "It''s enough. I know what to do in this ce. For now, I''m going to get some rest before doing my first mission." Anna took the badge and stood up, preparing to leave.


    The Branch Manager couldn''t help but pity her. He never expected that the most talented person in the kingdom would be in this situation.


    ''The greater the light, the darker its shadow. As expected, the more overwhelming her talent is, the more those people are afraid of her. They''re trying to control her…'' The Branch Manager sighed.


    Even if he didn''t agree with this, he couldn''t do anything.


    Anna didn''t bother to ask for his opinion either. She simply left the bar without talking to anyone.


    Her father left her some money for her. He even promised to provide her with enough money so that she could focus on getting the points. So Anna didn''t need to think too much.


    She rented the greatest inn in the capital city that cost a lot of fortune a night. But since she was here only for a day, she should get the best service. Noel said the same thing.


    "Noel. Why do you get the best inn? You don''t have much money left."


    "Haha, it''s fine. There are two options normally: a good, affordable inn or the best, most expensive inn. To be honest, I prefer the former if I know the area around. But in an unknown area where my life is on the line, I''ll get the best inn.


    "Although it''s expensive, they guarantee my safety and have a lot of things to reduce my fatigue. Of course, don''t let your guard down even with all the services."


    Anna recalled that conversation while rxing in her hot tub.


    "Noel might be ignorant in fighting knowledge such as swordsmanship or spirit. But he''s surely knowledgeable about other things. I''ll take advantage of all the advice I''ve ever heard and escape from their scheme."
