Missions. They were one of the core components of Kizen’s unique and brutal system. Once the initial student protection period ended, students were given a ‘mission period’—a five-day window, typically spanning a weekend, during which they could undertake various assignments requested from the outside world. The range of missions was staggering: from simple chores and part-time jobs to monster extermination, bodyguard duty, high-profile assassinations, and even serving as proxies in minor wars. Even missions typically handled by professional necromancers were made available. Success was rewarded not only with an official payment but also with a crucial ‘evaluation score.’ For Kizen students, constantly drained of funds by the high cost of materials, it was the fastest way to earn serious money.
