"Since there are some important considerations to be aware of before the second class change, please go ahead and share the specifics as soon as possible. I believe both Emma and Claire will certainly heed your advice."
Bonnie stated directly to Jeremy before Emma and Claire had a chance to express their own opinions.
Bonnie felt that their time was quite limited, and thus, they needed to expedite their actions.
Emma and Claire nodded in agreement, acknowledging Bonnie's assertion.
Upon seeing that everyone else expressed their agreement, Jeremy naturally proceeded to articulate the considerations regarding class changes.
"Before you undertake your second class change, you must first determine which aspects of enhancement you wish to acquire post-transition. This means you need to make a decisive choice right now.
You must select your primary combat approach moving forward. The primary method of combat you possess will certainly require ample enhancement."
Jeremy conveyed to Emma and Claire in a very calm tone.
Emma and Claire nodded in understanding.
The two of them were able to grasp Jeremy's meaning.
Claire, without hesitating for too long, directly expressed her thoughts.
"My talents and skills are all related to mental manipulation. Therefore, after completing the second class change, I would still like to enhance my abilities in that area.
I believe that in the battles to come, I will primarily assume a support role in decision-making. I can help shield you from the enemy's mental interference during the course of combat."
"And at necessary moments, I will also be able to impose sufficient mental interference on our enemies." Claire asserted.
As a psychologist, Claire had not originally possessed any formidable talents in the realm of mental manipulation. However, with the advent of the apocalypse game, Claire awakened additional abilities related to mental control.
This led Claire to believe that she must fully leverage her talents during battles.
Both Jeremy and Bonnie deemed Claire's judgment to be exceptionally wise.
With a smile on his face, Jeremy addressed Claire.
"In fact, I, too, hope that you can provide us with assistance on the level of mental fortitude in the forthcoming battles. The monsters I encountered during the awakening instance were all associated with mental interference.
If you possess sufficiently powerful abilities by the time I clear the awakening instance, you will undoubtedly be able to offer me tremendous support."
Claire was naturally very pleased by Jeremy's trust in her abilities.
"I know that my current strength is still insufficient. However, I hope you can trust me, I will certainly enhance my abilities as quickly as possible. I also wish to provide assistance to you during battles." Claire expressed.
Although Claire understood that her abilities did not match those of Jeremy, Bonnie, and Ritchie, she did not feel disheartened or harbor any resentment.
As a psychologist, Claire was able to swiftly adjust her emotional state.
She was currently facing the challenges at hand with the most appropriate psychological mindset.
In contrast to Claire, Emma was not quite as calm.
Instead, they directly distributed the equipment to Claire and Emma.
Among the four skill books, only one was particularly needed by Jeremy, the other three skill books were primarily designed to enhance mental manipulation and healing skills.
"I will take this skill book, as it is extremely important to me." Jeremy stated as he picked up one of the skill books and addressed the group.
The skill book he selected was related to time.
Its name was "Time Stasis."
The Time Stasis skill would allow Jeremy to significantly slow down the flow of time for a limited duration.
If paired with his existing talent, The King of Time and Space, the effects of the Time Stasis skill in decelerating the passage of time would become even more formidable.
No one among the others voiced any objections to Jeremy's actions.
They all understood that the reason they had been able to effortlessly clear the recent instance was largely due to Jeremy's contributions.
After distributing the spoils from the cleared instance, the group began searching for their next target instance.
Although the instances in their region were generally not very difficult, Jeremy was currently accompanied by several teammates who were relatively weak.
Thus, it was impossible for Jeremy to select instances that exceeded level 50.
After a careful period of deliberation, Jeremy finally located the entrance to an instance that was only level 45, tucked away in a corner.
"The instance we are about to enter is a level 45 instance. Its difficulty is slightly higher than that of the previous level 41 instance. Therefore, you all must be mentally prepared."
Jeremy cautioned the group.
He then turned his gaze toward Claire and Emma: "Both of you must consciously make use of the skills I mentioned earlier when we tackle the upcoming instance."
Claire and Emma nodded in agreement.
"Since we are all prepared, let us swiftly enter the next instance! We still have approximately six hours until nightfall, and we might have enough time to search for a new instance after clearing this one."
Jeremy declared before stepping into the instance.
Claire and Emma followed closely behind Jeremy, while Bonnie and Ritchie took up the rear to cover them.
Once the group entered the instance, they did not encounter any particularly dangerous situations.
After all, Jeremy had successfully achieved a significant enhancement in his mastery of the King of Time and Space talent during the recent battle.
Jeremy's strength had now nearly returned to its peak condition.
What he needed now was simply to conclude today's battles and enjoy a restful two days. After that, he would be ready to tackle much more challenging instances on his own.
Naturally, Jeremy's friends would then be free to attend to their own matters.
Claire and Emma could prepare for their second class change, while Bonnie and Ritchie could focus on strengthening their respective skills.
