[Guardian Level 9]
A dark-skinned, white-haired elf wearing a black hoodie, sat there quietly as he observed from top to bottom. Carrying a silver bow on his back, with his ashen gray eyes focused on , he seed to be in a state of deep thinking right now.
If I rember correctly, this guy was the bodyguard guy who always followed Trisha around. Hmmm... I don’t rember him being there on the day I killed all the Vincents, though. I recalled moving closer to them, looking curiously at that guy before turning to Trisha.
She waved at lightly with a smile before looking at that guy and speaking.
"Boss, this is G. In the real world, he is a bodyguard assigned to . I kind of wanted to ditch him and enjoy myself, but since the stream was everywhere, he followed here as well."
In the past few days, Trisha and the others started calling Boss half the ti. They also used a teacher and Ezekiel, but most stuck to this one.
Should you be saying that in front of that guy? I thought as I gazed at [Guardian]. Though it didn’t seem like he really cared about it.
"Well, Boss. Despite the situation, he is quite capable, I must say. Since I doubt he is going to leave alone even in the ga, think you can let him join the group?" She asked curiously.
While Trisha did make it seem like she doesn’t care about him, I could see that she saw him in a bright light and was looking out for him.
"His class is Archer, and the race of Dark-Elf," she added, before waiting for the response.
I saw those pink puppy eyes before turning to the disinterested gaze of the dark-elf. His lack of interest might co off as rude for many, but I guess he only joined the ga to watch over Trish and nothing else.
"I would like to see his skills first," I said, making Trisha bloom a bit before turning to [Guardian] and then speaking with slight excitent,
"G! Show him your best!"
"Sigh... yes, milady," G stood up as he walked closer to , waiting for to speak.
A man of few words? Hmmm. Not bad. I smiled as I then turned to look at the path outside the settlent. Recalling the monsters found there, I searched for the best place to test his skills.
Ah! That should be fine. I thought as I found sothing close to what I was aiming for.
"Co with , both of you," I said as I began walking outside the settlent, until we reached an open area. It was about a kiloter from the settlent, where a few flying monsters had made their nest.
Scouting the area from a distance, about 100 ters away from here, I found a giant yellow-beaked red vulture sitting on a tree.
"You see that bird sitting on that tree branch?" I asked as I focused on that bird even more. I needed to make sure there weren’t any other birds in that line of vision.
"What bird?" Trisha asked while G focused on that bird from a distance before questioning,
"Yellow beak, red-feathers?"
I nodded before speaking," shoot that bird down."
Turning to the dark-elf, he observed that bird for a few more seconds before putting his ring finger in his mouth for a few seconds. Then taking it out in the air, he felt the movents of wind for a few seconds.
He then took out a bow, different from the silver one that he was carrying on his back. This one was a dark longbow, almost 2/3rd the size of his body, with three tallic strings instead of one.
Effortlessly holding it with one hand, he positioned it straight in the air before taking out an arrow from his inventory and placing it in the bow, as he pulled it back with all his strength.
Looking at the angle. Hmmm... not bad. It’s near perfect. I smiled as I calculated the angle, the power and the trajectory of that arrow, analyzing the result before it even took place.
-Zing!
As I was thinking, the arrow left the bow at an impressive speed, reaching the bird, and then hitting its body, killing it with a single strike.
"That’s neat," I said, a bit amazed. He didn’t use any enchantnts of [Skills], just pure skills of his own. All I knew about him was that he was the bodyguard, but with this much skill there was a great chance he was an excellent marksman as well.
I guess you need at least that much skill to be the bodyguard of Trisha Vincent. I thought before turning to him and asking,
"How many arrows can you shoot at once? Can you use any enhancents?"
He pondered for a few seconds before turning to Trisha. Then, getting a green signal from her, he continued,
"3 without skills. 5 with skills. I can use Fire and Dark Enchantnts."
I nodded before asking a few more questions, at which, answered in a brief but precise manner, allowing to gauge him completely. Once the assessnt was done,
"He can join," I said, as I didn’t have any problems with his skills. Though there were still areas of improvent, he was better than most archers that I would et in Arcadia Online.
Later, I will also need to do a background check to see exactly who he is loyal to. I added in my mind before deciding to return to the settlent and log out. There was nothing more for to do here for the ti being.
Trisha nodded in satisfaction before then asking,
"Hey, Boss, what do you think would be the best subclass for ?"
"[War Dancer]," I answered with a reflex as I recalled the subclass she had in my last life. It was almost a perfect match for her battle style.
"War dancer?" She asked curiously. Her eyes looked at , waiting for to explain more about this subclass.
"Three benefits. Provides as much agility to you as the weapons you have, both inventory and in your possession. Has a special dance sequence skill that increases dodge by 30% as long as you keep moving. Lastly, have an active skill that can increase your total attack power based on the number of players against you for 30 minutes," I spoke as I recalled the bits of details.
Trisha’s eyes glistened as she heard about the benefits. She looked at in amazent as I then continued explaining.
"Two cons. When not in a battle, your total power would be halved. Your dodge rate decreased by 20% when not in battle, making you susceptible to assassination attacks."
Hearing which, Trisha paused her smile. Then, as it slowly vanished, replaced a deep, thoughtful look on her face.
Ignoring her with her own thoughts, I turned to the dark-elf and pondered before asking,
"Have you chosen your Subclass?"
"Aiming towards [Enchanter]," he answered, to which I nodded before pondering and speaking," if you can. Look for a subclass nad [WordCrafter]. It should be closer to what you are looking for than [Enchanter]."
[Enchanter] was a subclass that aid at enchanting items and weapons. It had a huge variety over the basic enchantnts and a few special bonus skills that were mostly associated with the primary class.
[WordCrafter] on the other hand, was a Rare, harder to obtain Subclass, that allowed you to imbue direct enchantnts and runes to your weapons for a short duration. Much less ti than Enchantnts that lasted for hours to days sotis.
Unlike the [Enchanter] class, the enchantnts in this one were of short duration, generally a few seconds to a minute. Though it allowed multiple rapid enchantnts at once just by saying the word, with the only downside being the mana cost. One more benefit of [WordCrafter] was that it could also add runes and minor blessings the sa way, though the mana costs were higher.
The reason I recomnded this class to him was that he would rarely need an enchantnt lasting days since he seed to be targeting it to use on his arrows rather than the bow. It seed like a good subclass for him to have.
"I will look into it," he answered.
Turning back to Trisha, who had mostly done thinking, I asked about the other mbers of our party.
She told that Blaze, Raven and Link were going to be absent for two more real-ti days. They were taking a break from the ga to finish their own things. anwhile, she and G would be leveling up here, catching up with the rest of the team.
Since I had already explained to Trisha where and how to hunt the monsters, I simply nodded, wished them well before deciding to log out.
[Logging out of the ga]
Getting out, I stretched a bit before looking at the ti.
8:00 AM, huh? All right. Let’s get to the next task at hand. I thought as I picked up the Black Card that Alexandra had given before changing into a more presentable dress. Then, picking up my phone as I rechecked the lists of tasks that I had to do based on the information that I had collected, I closed down the folder.
"All right. Ti to et Ciana Grace, then"
I mumbled as I walked out of the apartnt, with my smile slowly turning serious as I finally took the first step towards fulfilling the task of my regression.
