Mission name: Capturing the Demon Fish [ Akuma no sakanawotoru - 悪魔の魚を捕る]
Rank: EVENT
Objective: Capture the magical demon fish.
Location: Namahage Festival Grounds
Reward: 10 Tickets
Mission description: A slightly altered version of the traditional Japanese festival game of scooping fish. Instead of a small inflatable pool, there is a 25 m radium pool behind the stalls, with meter-long demon fish (weighing approximately 15 lbs each) inside. Without causing irreparable damage to any of the fish, capture two of them and bring them ashore where they will be approved by the stall owner, then put the fish back.
Mission details: If any major damage is inflicted on the fish, the mission is considered an immediate failure. Each player will be given one E-rank net (easily breakable by the fish if simply used to attempt to scoop the fish out), a fishing rod (with a weight capacity of approximately 5 lbs), and a small can of fish bait. Any and all techniques may be used provided that it does not bring harm to the fish or to the surroundings. Each demon fish is 1 meter long and 15 lbs, with enough intelligence to evade easy capture, moving at speeds which scale according to the person hunting them, always just slightly faster. Their sharp teeth cause small puncture wounds that - when left unattended - can gradually cause numbing in the surrounding area of the bite.
'This seemed to be no ordinary task...‘
Hanbei would look into the pool as he was handed the bait and the fishing rod that looked like it was falling apart, likely to break at any given moment. Looking hesitantly back at the fisherman who was running the stall Hanbei would look back to the pool, Activating the chakra thread technique, thinking it would be an easier bet to weave the chakra threads into a light net he would begin to fold and weave the chakra as he would maintain them. Looking to the fisherman with a smile as he did so, tying the threads over and under and over and under as he would continue his threading work faster and faster as he got into the flew of the weaving. Hanbei's fingers would move like lightning as this was nothing compared to the weaving and expansive experience of weaving silk clothing. Soon enough, the boy was wielding a net that would be large enough to catch any one of the fish. Raising an eyebrow the fisherman seemed to be a little surprised or at the very least intruigued at the idea that a mortal was simply able to create a seemingly massive amount of thread within themselves in one form or another.
''Oh, it's really rather easy, you just form it out of your charka, kids are taught this where we're from you see, you could likely perform it as well if you learn to control your own chakra. But sadly i dont know how chakra flows through spirits. So you'd have to find a teacher other than me.''
The being seemed to accept the statement and would watch as Hanbei would lean over the edge of the tank, as one of the demon fish took a leap in trying to bite Hanbei's face, causing him to lurch backwards at such a speed that it hurt his back and dropping him to the ground muttering at the pain as he clutched his lower back because of the whiplash before getting up once again for a second try.
