The 20th Floor

  Prius, Ford, and Jazz stepped onto the 20th Floor, the weight of their journey pressing upohe t walls of the Adventurer's Guild Hall loomed before them, bustling with seasoned warriors, mages, and rogue-css fighters preparing for their rials.

  Jazz, without hesitation, strode toward the Wizard's Adventurer Hall—a massive chamber lined with glowing runes and are symbols pulsing with raw magic.

  A receptionist, dressed in a deep blue robe, greeted her with a polite nod. "Wele to the Wizard's Hall. How may I assist you?"

  Jazz pced both hands on the desk. "I'm here for my Sed Job Adva Quest."

  The receptionist's eyes flickered with i. "Excellent. There are five elemental paths for Wizards—Ice, Wind, Thunder, Earth, and Fire. Fire is the stro, as it is highly effective against most monsters. Are you choosing Fire?"

  Jazz smirked. "Of course."

  The receptionist hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Do you know the significe of a Fire Wizard? Among the Great Ten Legendary Heroes of the Great Zombie Extermination, there was a Fire Wizard who cast the spell Burning Will—a single intation that instantly destroyed the Zombie Tanker."

  Jazz's expression didn't ge. "The Zombie Tahe mohat evolved by ial Slimes, turning into an unbreakable fortress."

  The receptionist nodded. "Yes, that's why the Fire Wizard css is sidered both the stro and the most difficult to attain."

  Jazz crossed her arms and said with quiet fidehat Fire Wizard was my great-great-grandparent, Anglias 'Burning Will'."

  The receptionist's eyes widened. "What?! A desdant of Anglias? That's… incredible!"

  She quickly pulled out a scroll and pced it on the ter. "For the Fire Master path, your trial will be against the Elemental Mirreneral—a mini-boss that mimic your chosen job and fight at your level. You may form a party of up to five adveo aid you."

  Her expression turned serious as she added, "Also, be aware of the 20th Floor Boss—

  Chieftain WarSword"**

  Ford raised an eyebrow. "Chieftain?"

  The receptionist nodded grimly. "A half-human, half-horse monster . It possesses the intelligence of a human, the speed of a stallion, and wields dual swords with expert precision. To make matters worse, its body is as Tanky as a Zombie Tanker. If you're not careful, it could interfere with your trial."

  Jazz exhaled sharply. "So, a taur with the brain of a warrior, the speed of a sprinter, and the defense of a fortress? Great."

  Ford cracked his knuckles. "Sounds like a problem."

  Prius grinned. "Or an opportunity. If we take it down, imagihe loot we'll get."

  Jazz sighed. "Focus, you two. The Elemental Mirreneral is the real fight we o win."

  The receptionist handed her the quest paper, stamped with the official Wizard's Hall Emblem. "Your trial begins at sunrise. Prepare well, and may your fmes burn brighter than your refle."

  Jazz ched her fists, determination burning in her eyes. "I will."

  Preparation for the Battle

  Back at the inn, Jazz emptied her bag, cheg her supplies.

  ? Mana potions – Enough to keep her going.? Fire-enhang charms – Boosting her fmes would be crucial.? Fatigue recovery items – …Not enough.

  She frowned. Fire magic owerful, but it also draiamina faster than any other element. She needed something to sustain herself in aended battle.

  Jazz turo Prius. "Do you have anything that lower my fatigue?"

  Prius thought for a moment. "I don't have an item for that, but I buff you."

  Jazz raised an eyebrow. "What kind of buff?"

  Prius smirked. "Divine Cloth Buff—it doubles your casting speed, but it also doubles your fatigue. If you're pnning to go all out, you'll burn through your stamina twice as fast."

  Jazz grinned. "Perfect. If I end the fight quickly, I won't o worry about fatigue."

  Ford leaned ba his chair, arms crossed. "Well, before the enemy touch you, they'll have to gh me first." His expression turned smug. "And before we head into your adva quest, I'll advance you a feast."

  Jazz raised an eyebrow. "A feast?"

  Ford smirked. "What, you think I'd let my little sister fight on ay stomach? We're having a proper meal tonight."

  Prius chuckled. "That actually sounds like a good idea. Better than watg Jazz colpse from hunger halfway through the fight."

  Jazz huffed. "Fine. But don't expect me to cook."

  Ford waved her off. "Rex, we're eating at the best p town. My treat."

  With that, the siblings left the inn, heading toward the best tavern oh Floor. Tomorrow, they would fight. But tonight, they would feast.

  The battle against the Elemental Mirreneral awaited.
