Chapter 380. New profession
Chapter 380. New profession
It was the second day of our stay in the capital Bestia. The day was spent on sightseeing in the capital and sparring with Mea.
And we sparred, not sparing the training ground of the palace, everything turned out to be covered with craters in the end. I thought about how to fix the site with earth magic, but due to its special coating, which has the property of magical isolation, it did not work out very well to fix it.
- Ha ha! As I thought, sparring with Fran is breathtaking!
- Uh-huh!
But they were both happy with the sparring results.
Although we initially planned to just practice using the skills, Mea quickly warmed up and started fighting in earnest. Showering us with flame magic and other skills, she didn't really hold back. If Quina hadn't stopped her, she would have caused even more damage to the palace.
Though the proficiency improved in the end. Especially the progress was noticeable with respect to "Ways of manipulating the body." We also became better at resisting fire attacks, thank God we got the skill to resist burns.
The most important event of the second day is a visit to the capital's temple. Finally, after a long time, you can change your profession.
If you think about it, we have seen a lot during all this time. To be honest, it completely flew out of my head until Mea told me about it. It is quite possible that new professions have appeared.
The last time we checked this was before the Martial Arts Tournament. Then we could not choose anything but the swordsman-magician. Now, finally, remembering again about professions, I realized how useful the profession of a swordsman-magician was.
The professional skill of the profession, "Combining Magic", given Fran's relatively poor success in magic, perfectly helped her to close one of her weaknesses. Given her specialization in physical attacks, and the prospect of improving her magical side through this profession without leaving her weaknesses, this was the obvious choice.
So, given how we grew up after these many battles, there was a high chance that we could choose a more advanced profession. It doesn't hurt to check.
After donating money to the temple, we entered the career change room. By touching the stone slab that was there, we were able to find out if a change of profession was possible. According to the rules of the temple, except for cleaning, entry into this room was prohibited, so that it maintained perfect privacy.
Perhaps you can peep into it with the help of magic or magical devices, but it is unlikely that anyone would want to do this. After all, it was a temple. Who would like to receive divine punishment in the crown for inappropriate behavior?
“And we have a great choice here,” I said.
- Yeah.
At first glance, there were almost 50 professions. I don't know if this is the norm, but there were definitely a lot of them.
- By touching each profession, you can see its comprehensive description. And all for a donation of 3000 gold.
So, among the professions, 5 positions attracted my attention.
The first was the profession that we noticed for a long time - "Lord of the Sword". Apparently, thanks to our growth in the process of battles, now this option was available to us. It included Increase Strength, Enhance Sword Art, and Enhance Sword Mastery, as well as the Transformation into the God of Swords professional skill. In general, this profession allowed you to take your sword skills to the limit.
As far as I remember, the Beast King's profession is "Lord of the Spear." Apparently, this is something in the same spirit. That is, with this profession, the adventurer can reach S rank. I would say that this profession is at the top of our list of choices. But there was another interesting profession.
This is the "Holy Warrior". For some reason, this profession, which gives preference to auras skills, seemed very interesting to me. She also gave Empower Crush Evil, a specialized skill against evil spirits that I had already used, and the professional skill was Holy Armor. Although I could not find out the details of the professional skill, it was clear from the name that it was also directed against evil spirits.
Considering that in the future we may meet Zelsried or some worse evil, it would be nice to have a strong ability against her.
- The profession "Warrior-archmage" also looks interesting, which would help you develop more versatile. It looks like it makes it possible to reduce the cost of energy to release a burst of spells.
Although she had no professional skill, Fran would be able to use the burst of spells.
- This profession, "Heavenly Ninja", looks cool.
- Maybe yes. In addition to "Higher Agility", it would help make up for the lack of sensory and stealth skills. In addition, her professional skill is Perception of Time and Space. It looks like it makes it possible to react even to teleportation.
Since Fran is the type of warrior who rely on speed, for us now, who do not have sufficient defensive skills, the opportunity to close the gaps in sensory and stealth skills looks tempting.
- So, the last candidate is "Demon Slayer".
- Yeah.
This profession complemented us in the aspects of "Increasing all stats", "Increasing the effects of suppression skills", "Martial art", "Martial prowess", "Magic". This profession looks very balanced. Probably, the transition to this profession is equally valid for both warriors and magicians. It was a profession that evenly lifts you up in all aspects.
- So, we have the Lord of the Sword, the Holy Warrior, the Warrior-Archmage, the Heavenly Ninja and the Demon Slayer to choose from. Which do you choose, Fran?
- Lord of the sword!
It was not hard to guess. The Lord of the Sword is the most obvious choice. Fran still loves fencing more than magic.
- So there will be "Lord of the Sword".
- Yeah.
Then Fran chose the profession of "Lord of the Sword". At the same moment, white light enveloped her entire body. A powerful stream of magic radiated from her. However, there was not a single unpleasant sensation. The magic that enveloped her gave only pleasant warmth.
- Oooh …
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. The strength in me is seething.
Using the assessment, I was convinced that the profession had really changed to "Lord of the Sword." The stats have also increased. The Professional Skill "Becoming a God of Swords" is also learned.
Of course, there were also disadvantages. The magical energy has slightly decreased, and the former professional skill ("Magic Connection") was forgotten. In exchange for his dramatically increased swordsmanship, Fran's own magic abilities undoubtedly lost their former strength.
Let's assume that Fran and I now have a clear line of roles. Fran is now fully in charge of the physical aspect, and I am in charge of the magical one.
- Hmm, I would like to know what it is - "Transformation into the God of Swords" …
Becoming a God of Swords: Grants the user the power of a God of Swords.
Even after the assessment, I could not understand what kind of power is given by "Transformation into the God of Swords". Are all the skills in which the word "God" appears like this?
Then we have someone who could explain everything in more detail. This is Mea. After all, her father, the King of Beasts, Rigdis, possesses the Transform into Spear God skill. Chance is high that she knows about it.
If in the process everyone finds out that Fran has changed her profession to "Lord of the Sword", then hardly anyone will mind. Fran first of all promised to tell Mea about her choice of a new profession. In fact, Mea had changed her profession even before Fran, so she agreed to discuss new professions with each other.
When we left the room for the change of profession, Mea met us in a very nervous state.
- Fran! What, found a good profession?
- Yeah. That was incredible.
- Ltd! Nice to hear! Anyway, let's go back to the palace first!
Of course, nobody wanted to talk here. There were many outsiders here.
Returning to the palace, they immediately revealed their new professions to each other. The moment of sharing secrets, it seems, was to some extent sacred for them. The joy of both girls knew no bounds. Well, not surprisingly, they were both warriors to the core.
“The new step in my profession is called the Incinerating Knight.
- Sounds great.
- And then! Now the control of fire has become even better, and the knight's abilities have dramatically increased. The profession is just for me!
It was a profession one step higher than her previous one, "Knight of the Flame". It seems that there were also steps even higher than the Incinerating Knight.
Mea's face was beaming with joy. But Quina, with her invariably cold tone, broke off her joy somewhat.
“But I have to warn you.
- Warn? I asked.
“You might be attracted to the word" Incinerate ", but it doesn't matter how high your attack power is when your power control can't keep up. As a result, you only increased the danger of a spontaneous explosion.
Hmm, this profession worries me very much. Given that Mea hadn't taken control of her flame very seriously before, now what, is it going to get worse?
- Young lady, I ask you to treat your actions with even greater caution from now on.
- I … I know!
