I heard another strange term, so I said in confusion:
"What do you an by a class?"
"Tell , your civilization used a form of power, right? What was it?"
"I'm from the Treen Kingdom. We use magic there."
"Good. While using magic powers, you have occupations, right?"
"Yes, we have many, like fire magicians, wind magicians, and so on."
"You can consider classes to be like your magical occupations but on a wider scale. With our technology, we have different types of classes. We have common classes like warriors, magicians, healers, defenders, and thieves.
We have many secret classes as well. You must have great luck in order to find a secret class though. Each of the secret classes have one specific condition that must be t. The secret class is like an advanced version of a common class.
So, you need to have that certain class for you to be able to upgrade to the particular secret class. Now, out of the five basic classes, what class will you choose? I recomnd that you choose the magician class as you are already very familiar with magic power."
She was right about all that she had said, but as I was from a magically powered kingdom, I knew the drawbacks of this profession. What caused our kingdom to suffer so much was that it depended solely on magical power.
Magicians could be lethal weapons only if they attacked from long distances and ti was given to them. That was not a logical way of fighting wars. Our enemies would never give us the chance to attack them whole-heartedly.
That was why I didn't want to use magic again. I wanted to have a taste of real face-to-face fighting. Maybe a swordsman or a spearman would be good for . I said after contemplating:
"I don't want to be a magician. I've had enough with this profession or what you may call a class."
"Then what class do you want to be in?"
"I want to fight from the frontlines and kill my enemies with my blade. I want the profession of swordsman or a spearman."
"You want to choose a warrior class then. Try to use the word "class" rather than the word "profession". It will get easier the more you use our terms."
"Thank you. Then, the warrior class has both classes?"
"Yes. Warrior class has many subclasses like swordsman, spearman, archer, and hamr warrior. So, what class would you like to choose?"
I wanted to fight in the frontlines, but when I was about to choose swordsman, I felt pain in my soul. It seed that my previous profession was deeply set in my bones. Ok, I won't choose an extrely close-range class.
Then what about being a spearman? It seed nice to . I would still fight in the front lines. I also wouldn't be in too close a range to my target as I was using a long spear. I decided to choose this class then.
"I choose the spearman class."
"Good choice, adventurer Agatha. Now I will move you to your starting point in this ga. You will appear at a novice village. It is a village of beginners like yourself. You can learn gradually there.
About your Guild Master rank, it will appear in your Inventory as a Guild establishing stone. You can use it at any ti. You don't need to be afraid, it won't drop when you die."
I didn't understand what she was saying! But I felt that looking stupid in front of a stranger wasn't a pleasant sensation, so I didn't ask any more and decided to try everything out for myself and try to find things out on my own.
"Ok. Send to the Nobrisco village."
"It's called a novice village. Listen, if you find yourself in need of , just say my na loudly and I will appear. Now, Bon Voyage, adventurer Agatha."
I didn't have a chance to say anything else as I was overwheld by a bright light. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing in a different wide-open space. I looked around myself to find that I was in so sort of a town square.
What was remarkable about the square was a small statue of a swordsman placed prominently in the center. When I saw the sculpture, I felt regret. Why didn't I choose this profession? That swordsman looked aweso! I should have chosen that job! I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. Damn!
I tried to ignore this remarkable life-like sculpture and look around . I wasn't the only person here since I noticed a large number of people.
Every other second, a flash of light shone, and a new wave of people appeared. I knew that they were all in the sa situation as . They had finished the test and so they had been made to join this ga.
What was the ga's na again? I forgot the ga's na! I am a useless person!
"Hey there, are you new here?"
I looked for who spoke to . He was a young player. He looked to be around 17 years old. Most importantly, he was a swordsman. Damn! That profession was so cool!
"Why are you looking at with eyes like that? C'mon, I'm just trying to be friendly."
This swordsman was crazy cool! I said at once, trying to look angry:
"What do you an? I was just looking at your sword!"
"This sword? It's a trash grade sword. You're a newbie? I think you must be from a kingdom outside our Empire."
I was surprised by his comnt and asked:
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yes, pretty obvious. Everyone in Frod knows about the weapon grading and equipnt grades. This is nothing but a novice trash grade sword. What would you do if you saw a fine gold grade sword right now?"
"Fine gold grade? What is that? Is it real gold?"
"Oh my god! Do you like gold that much? You must be from a new kingdom. Tell , what's your na and kingdom? "
I was about to answer him automatically, but I stopped myself. If the test results were announced in public, then my real na along with my kingdom's na would be known. If no one found my in-ga na in the public listings, then they would suspect of changing it.
They would then search for my kingdom. That was logical. I needed to na a different kingdom. It's better to be from a nearby kingdom in order to drive out any suspicion. I needed ti to think so I countered him while faking arrogance:
"You should know that it's impolite to ask a lady about her na!"
"Why? I didn't ask about your age though!"
This swordsman was too cool! He made really angry, so I rebuked him:
"You idiot. You haven't told your na first!"
"Ah, sorry! I'm Shin. Now your turn. Tell your na."
"My na is Agatha."
"Agatha? What a strange na. Ok Agatha, tell , where do you co from?"
"I co from the Kronig kingdom."
"Kronig kingdom? Are you sure?"
I felt a sense of unease. I had forgotten that nearby kingdoms would have a lot of info about the Frod system. While I was thinking hard so as to fix the situation and blaming myself for my stupidity, he said:
"Don't worry, everyone has their secrets. Ok Agatha from Kronig, tell what your class is?"
I felt grateful to him. He'd discovered that I was lying but he didn't question any further. I appreciated the gesture from him. It seed this swordsman was both cool and nice!
"Thanks, Shin of Frod. I'm a spearman."
"Hahaha, you should be called a spear woman!"
"Don't tease , Shin. Yes, I guess you can say I'm a speargirl."
"Isn't it spearwoman?"
"No, I like being a girl instead."
"Girl, you'll grow up one day."
"Shin stop bothering !" I said angrily. "Now tell , what should I do first?"
"Simple. You should go kill so rabbits."
"Wow, but I love rabbits. Why should I kill them?"
"You're hopeless! How will you get XP then?"
"What is XP?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you are from "Kronig". By the way, Kronig is one of the closest kingdoms to the Frod Empire. They know a lot about us, so please don't ask these silly questions if you're in front of anyone else."
He was right again! This damn cool swordsman!
