The fact that they would also be able to unlock a new 'class skill' after picking their professions was an unexpected surprise for everyone, and they couldn't help but grill Emilia for more details.

Of course, when they heard that the skill's name was 'Fury', they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Cute as Emilia was, they'd already realized that her memory was unreliable at best. Sometimes, she could remember the most obscure little things, and sometimes her forgetfulness could give even a small fish a good run for its money.

Danielle couldn't help but sigh. "Emilia, dear… you do realize that 'Fury' is one of the two default skills that you can get as a 'warrior', right?"

For 'professional' players like them, it was only to be expected that they research all the publicly available information in their free time. And the 'starter' skills and classes were some of the most widely discussed topics online.

The crimson-haired elf blinked. "Eh…? Is that so? But I still think it's quite good, being able to let me burn some of those useless hitpoints for more speed and all."

ƥandasnovel·ƈom In fact, Emilia knew very well that the 'selection' of the second skill was based on the 'usage pattern' of a player, and 'Fury' as a second skill was only given to those who rarely ever got 'low HP' status.

For most people, this would mean that their health was so high that most enemies were barely able to lower it to a dangerous level, and it would be relatively 'safe' to burn some of that 'excess' HP for other purposes.

Though Emilia only got it because she rarely ever let enemies get a clean hit on her, and even when they managed to bruise her somehow, Nico was always waiting to cast her 'Mend Wounds' to restore her health back to full.

Similarly, each of her teammates would also most likely get a skill 'most suitable' for them from their current class. But instead of just stating it as a fact and then convincing everyone that she was right, Emilia felt it would be better to just let them arrive at that conclusion on their own. This way, everyone can be more thoughtful in the future.

Sylvia also nodded after thinking about it a little. "It's true, actually. Emilia is already like, what... sixty percent faster than everyone else? If that twenty percent boost to her speed really works as I think it should, fifty points of health is really not much of a cost."

Although Danielle also acknowledged this, she didn't want to agree with the dark-haired ranger, and just snorted. "Don't forget that the 'penalty' scales with her maximum health." Before Sylvia could argue, though, she continued with a cough. "But anyway, since our silly little star has already made her choice, there's no point in fussing over it too much."

Then she moved on to discussing which 'profession' they should pick, though there was only so much they could infer based on just the name alone.

Robin chuckled. "I really can't picture Emilia as an 'Avenger' no matter how I think about it, though."

Skilled as she was, it was a bit difficult for them to imagine the crimson-haired elf as 'angry' or 'gloomy'. Besides, if she really went to her 'enemy' with those big blue eyes filled with pitiful tears, most likely they would be so confused that they'd just agree to give up.

Just thinking about it was enough to make Robin giggle uncontrollably.

While Emilia pouted, Danielle also nodded her head in agreement. "True, I feel like all of us got one decent and one really absurd choice. It looks like it's not that hard to choose, but… that could also be a trap."I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

In fact, Danielle and Robin were the only ones with that problem, but they just didn't want to admit it.

Sylvia coughed. "I don't think there's much point in having two 'Assassins' in the same team, so… I think I'm fine with picking 'Spy', alright?"

Obviously, she knew that Robin wasn't going to pick her other choice, which was 'Swindler', and the yellow-eyed girl really, really, really didn't want to be the second assassin on the team. After all, being the second ranger already made her wonder sometimes if she was a little redundant.

But naturally, unlike a certain crimson-haired beauty, they didn't have the privilege of picking their own professions without consulting the rest of the team. And Sylvia still depended on the other girl to convince Danielle to make the final decision in her favor, lest the drill-haired devil make her pick a 'duplicate' just to spite her.

Oblivious to the fact that she was being 'manipulated', Robin nodded furiously. "Right. Captain, what do you think? Sylvia wants to be a 'Spy', and I can be the 'Assassin'."

Danielle pursed her lips thoughtfully, then realized that she also had to pick from 'Pyromancer' and 'Maniac', and immediately agreed. "Alright. I don't think professions with unreliable names can be very good, anyway, so it's best to go with Spy and Assassin."

Just thinking about the empty leaderboard one day showing their names with words like 'Swindler' and 'Maniac' next to it made them shudder.

Luckily for them, Crystal and Nico didn't have to struggle through a similar dilemma.

"Between 'Herbalist' and 'Shaman', I think Shaman should be a better option, since it probably doesn't need as many resources." Danielle paused, feeling a little awkward. "Although we've somehow managed to stay ahead of the curve so far, we can't forget that we're not a large guild, after all."

Naturally, Nico didn't disagree with her captain, and quickly finalized her choice, leaving just Crystal to make her decision.

The blonde girl smiled. "I think I'm not a particularly good singer, so instead of Minstrel, I'd like to pick 'Sage', is that okay?"

"Huh? I think your voice is quite sweet. You can go with either."

Sylvia frowned, then quickly shook her head to clear the strange thoughts in her mind. Whether Emilia and Crystal had a few 'private' moments in the game before she joined her on the journey or not, it was already in the past.

Of course, none of the others had heard Crystal sing, and didn't have an opinion either way.

Surprisingly enough, once everyone on the team had finished making their choices, they all received some unexpected notifications.

—[All team members have obtained their primary professions and reached level fifteen. Your team meets all the requirements to upgrade to a 'Guild', would you like to proceed?]
