A few months have passed, and Izuku has become accustomed to the team Ichirou leads. He became close to his other teammates, although it was still difficult to get close to Todoroki and Katsuhito. The two still have walls around them, especially Todoroki.
After doing some tests and receiving permission from the above, Izuku is now officially a C-rank Hunter.
Isn't this easy enough, I thought we were going to encounter a powerful monster"
Katsuhito said that as he killed Org in front of him.
" it's just a B-rank gate anyway, what do you expect"
Daichi answers him as he defends against Org's attack.
" oh my gosh, can you guys focus we have to finish this before the afternoon" (Kiyoko)
" why is he in such a hurry?" (Katsuhito)
" he said he had a date today " (Ichirou)
" heh... really?, I never expected that he would have a girlfriend" (Katsuhito)
" I HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW!!! " (Kiyoko)
Izuku smiled at the sight of his teammates familiar with each other. He tried not to interfere, he just didn't want to get into trouble.
Listening to all the members arguing with each other, Ichirou saw them with a smile on his face and an intense aura.
" I see you guys having fun here"
They all fell silent as soon as they heard Ichirou speak. They couldn't help but agree that Ichirou was scarier than a monster when he was angry. Even Tododroki and Katsuhito had to agree.
" sorry captain " (Katsuhito)
" let's go so that we can go home quickly " (Ichirou)
"" Yes, sir ""
Everyone replied at the same time. They kept walking until they reached the boss room, inside which was the Org Lord with 2 Org Generals who were already waiting for them.
" let's quickly solve this, Daichi divert attention, Katsuhito will take General Org on the left, Izuku to the right, Todoroki supports from behind and protects Kiyoko, Kiyoko I leave the buff to you, I will advance"
"" Yes, sir ""
They followed Ichirou's instructions, their movements well coordinated considering they had been together for several months.
Daichi began to attract aggro, The Lord's attention was focused on Daichi. Ichirou, Katsuhito, and Izuku stepped forward to launch an attack. Ichirou jumped up and raised his big sword high and slammed it into the head of Org Lord.
General Org who saw their leader being attacked, tried to protect him but was stopped by Izuku and Katsuhito. Ichirou's attack is stopped, and an angry Org Lord tries to counterattack by attacking the ax he is holding at Ichirou but is stopped by Daichi's shield.
While Ichirou and Daichi were busy taking care of the boss, Izuku and Katsuhito were almost done with General Org. Izuku used his sprint skills and vital attacks to attack General Org, it didn't take him 5 minutes to complete.
Katsuhito was also able to finish it quickly with Todoroki's help, although he ended up screaming in annoyance. Todoroki just ignored him while continuing to help Ichirou with his fire. Burns began to appear on his body, and Kiyoko instantly healed him.
" oh my gosh, why every time you use your fire this always happens "
" noisy, this is none of your business"
" Hmm... "
Kiyoko took her eyes off him and stopped healing him.
Daichi and Ichirou are still fighting, the rest of the team trying to help them. Izuku approached Org Lord from behind, slashing at the veins of his legs accurately. Katsuhito also entered the fight, he slashed at Org Lord's hand quickly. Org Lord's hands drooped limply with scars and blood splattered, his defenses were now completely exposed.
" FINISH IT CAPTAIN!!... "
Daichi excitedly yelled at Ichirou to make the final attack from behind. Izuku and Katshuhito immediately moved away from Org Lord, Ichirou jumped up as soon as the two of them moved away. He raised his sword high and then slammed it on Org Lord's head as he had done before.
" AAAAAA... "
Slashh~
The head of the Org Lord was finally cut off from his place. Ichirou swung his sword to clear the blood attached to his sword.
They gather around Kiyoko for healing, Izuku is also approaching but he is stopped due to the notice that appears in front of him.

" what's the matter Izuku?, you didn't come?" (Ichirou)
" ah!?, yes I'm coming " (Izuku)
" good job everyone, now let's collect mana crystals and leave here" (Ichirou)
After collecting the mana crystal from the monster's body, they went outside the gate. Izuku was still pensive at the thought of the notification that appeared in front of him.
' job change? really? if I'm not mistaken there is a 'Job' in my player status and it is still empty
He then checked his status to make sure.

Early the next morning, Izuku arrived at a small hill in the city. The hill was quite quiet and there were only dense trees around. He went inside, he took out a black key from the inventory he got a few days ago after receiving the Job Change Quest.
He pushed the key into the empty air, a purple energy vortex appeared where he pressed the key, just like the instant dungeon before. The energy of the vortex extends further to form a purple energy gate.
Izuku took a deep breath, then stepped inside the gate. The interior is in the form of a passage with the impression of a European kingdom. The torches in the room began to light up one by one. Suddenly a notification popped up in front of him.
ring~
Alarm
[You can't leave this Dungeon until you clean it up]
[In this area, medicines, and shops are inaccessible. When you level up, you can't accept status healing]
" so there is a limit here, okay, let's get started"
The knights began to gather in front of him, Izuku rushed towards and then activated the Sprint skill, and he accelerated his attack. He used his dagger to attack, but because of his high defense, he could only leave scratches.
" tsk, not enough "
He put his dagger back into the inventory, and then he used his fist to smash one of the knight armors. The knight's armor was instantly dented and fell.
ring~
[You have killed a Knight]
" Yosh... "
He shouted happily when a notification appeared in front of him. Izuku continued to attack the knight using his fists.
Time flies, he has defeated many knights so far, not only knights, assassins, magicians, and archers. He also got some good items and the 'Stealth' skill rune stone that he got after killing an assassin.
Izuku finally appeared at the door, he could feel the cold wind coming from behind the door.
" so this is the boss room "
He stared at the door, preparing for the challenge ahead.
" let's go "
He opened the door, inside which was a throne room with an empty throne on the podium. The pressure felt is stronger than outside. The door closed, and he heard footsteps coming from behind the throne.
A knight figure appeared wearing crimson red armor, with a long mane and a cloak of the same color. The red knight dragged the long golden sword with him. A pair of eyes glowing white behind the helmet, a red name hovering over his head.
[Blood-Red Commander Igris]
Izuku felt goose bumps on his back, he smiled, it's been a long time since he felt this way. The red knight walked down from the podium of the throne, rushing to attack Izuku.
He immediately swung his long sword, Izuku was able to dodge, but the pillar behind him was cut off by the impact of the sword swing. Izuku tried to counterattack, but the dagger was unable to scratch the knight's armor.
The red knight didn't give Izuku a chance, he kept attacking him with his long sword. Izuku was still trying to avoid his attack, but he got cornered more and more as time went on. He jumped to the side for a safe distance.
He stuffed his dagger back into his inventory, and cracked his hand, getting ready for a fistfight with his bare hands.
The red knight saw this, he then took off his equipment. He plunged his sword into the ground, took off the cloak and two daggers tied to his waist, and knocked it to the ground.
" knight fighting style right? I guess I have been underestimated "
The red knight didn't waste any time, he went straight to Izuku, pulled the hood of the jacket he was wearing, and threw it to the side of the room. Izuku's body hit the wall so hard that it left a hole there.
The knight launched an attack again, Izuku held his fists with both hands. Izuku again jumped taking a safe distance from the knight.
' damn!, this is beyond my expectation, his ability can probably be compared with S-rank. '
Izuku rushed toward the knight, he activated the sprint skill to match his attack speed. They continued to fight one-on-one, suddenly the knight grabbed his foot and threw him again against the wall above the throne, he then fell landing on the throne.
Izuku sat panting, blood dripping from his mouth, his body still trembling with shock. The red knight approached him, he raised his hand, and the long sword stuck in the ground flew towards his hand. He swung his sword about to behead Izuku, but he managed to stop it thanks to the [High Knight's Gauntlet] item in his hand.
" I WON'T LOSE!!!... "
Izuku took out another dagger from the inventory and thrust it directly into the knight's left eye. He pushed the knight to the ground. The knight drew the dagger from his eyes, Izuku brought back the dagger in his hand, then pierced it into the gap of the knight's helmet, he activated the Vital Strike skill and continued to attack the same point.
" HAAAA... "
Izuku shouted his remaining determination until finally after a lot of effort, a notice appeared in front of him.
ring~

ring~
[The job change mission is about to begin]
[The longer you last, the more points you can accumulate and put you on higher and higher jobs]
[00:00:00]
[Good luck]
[00:00:01]
" damn! so this is just the beginning "
It didn't take long, three portals formed around him, and knights began to emerge from inside the portal. With armor and each holding different types of weapons in hand.
The knights began to attack him, although he was tired he could still block the attack. Izuku tried to take a distance so he could breathe and buy time to think.
Using the 'Stealth' skill, he hid behind one of the pillars, but the wizards in the room could find him with their 'Detection' skill. The knights attacked him again, Izuku avoided them but he was cornered now.
He was surrounded by knights coming out of the portal. The number of knights is constantly growing. Izuku glanced at the timer on it.
[00:05:08]
" only 5 minutes?! ...,
This is too much, I have to go out "
Izuku clutched the Hearthstone in his hand, he was about to smash it, but the hammer of one of the knights hit him, making him drop the Hearthstone from his hand.
" damn! "
The knights didn't give Izuku a chance, they kept surrounding him like ants. Because of the accumulation of fatigue, his body fell to its knees on the floor. He began to hear voices in his head.
" you useless " " quirkless " " garbage!!! " " what can a weak person like you do?" " stop dreaming, you can't be a hero "
" SHUT UP!!!... "
The voices kept echoing in his head, the voices of the people who had haunted him since childhood.
" it's really sad... "
Izuku turned around when he heard a voice that was different from the one in his head. A young figure walked out of the dark shadow. That figure was the young Izuku when he hadn't accepted his awakening when he was still a pitiful figure in the eyes of everyone even himself.
" seeing you struggling so hard even though it would all be worth it. Isn't it lucky that someone like you can advance so far? Izuku Yagi?... "
The figure began to walk around Izuku, he watched it carefully.
" wow..., is it me? I don't believe that we are the same person, you are taller and look stronger?...,
but only the appearance changed, the inside was still a loser.
What's the difference? You and me? "
" Shut up!! "
A knight approached him, swinging a sword that was about to slice him. Izuku grabbed the knight's hand and then hit the armor with all his might.
" heh... you put yourself in that position again, isn't it time for you to give up. Neither Heroes nor Hunters, you can't be one of them "
" I SAID SHUT UP!!! "
The other knights continued to attack him, and Izuku's movements began to slow down. One of the knights hit his body with a hammer, he fell directly to the ground. Izuku tried to wake up but his body had already reached its limit.
ring~
[You failed to complete the Daily Quest.]
[You will be transferred to the 'Penalty Zone' for the specified duration.]
A notification suddenly appeared in front of him. It seems that luck is still on his side. The timer starts running backward.
" They said luck is also an ability, you are lucky this time, letting you die here is too wasted.
Until we meet again, Izuku Yagi "
The scene of the throne room filled with knights turned into a familiar desert scene. He lay on the sand, taking a breath.
" come to think of it I haven't done a daily quest today "
He opened a shop to buy some high-end potions to recover from his fatigue.
ring~
[Your fatigue is being restored]
[Your fatigue is being restored]
[Your fatigue is being restored]
" This is the first time my exhaustion is above 90, it seems that the elixir is only restoring fatigue, not life.
well, never mind, should I take care of these people instead "
