Vol. 10 - Chapter 499 - Advanced Job - Karua Edition!

“Next is you, Karua.”

“...Hn. My turn... is here?”

“Ahaha, you must have been bored while waiting. But time for sunshine~, get up.”

Surprisingly, while waiting her turn, Karua had fallen asleep on her feet. Who could have thought the silence from her side meant her head was nodding in... sleep, eh?

I wonder how one needs to train to fall asleep like this? I was actually curious. I could really do many things if I put my mind in it.

“Hn, preparation ready. I am up—yaawwwn—haa, for it anytime.”

“But that yawn says otherwise though?”

Well, if she said yes, then we should proceed.

Lana and other princess—whoops, now advanced princess job members were squealing, congratulating Hannah on her advancement. It seemed like they’re sharing some information about the advanced job they know.

They sure had become one good friends with each other.

Hehe, let’s give them the strongest training manual—advanced ver. Later! It’s time to reach at the fourth tree, the peak that we couldn’t touch while within the bound of basic jobs! Man, I am so looking forward to it.

Ahem, but each thing has their TPO, and now, I need to focus on Karua.

“Karua, what I want you to have is—«Star Agent»!”

“Hn, kk.”

“Wow, you agreed so easily, huh?”

“It’s the strongest and fastest. There’s no reason to not take it.”

Apparently, she had been aware of «Cat-kin»’s one of the pillar advanced job.

I was slightly surprised, because she had a multitude of upgrade paths. As she comes in both «Cat-kin» and «Beast-kin» category, she could have acquire «Beast-kin» category’s advanced job as well, which had many more jobs to choose from.

Well, though she had also settled on «Star Agent», the straight upgrade route given her current job. I was glad I had no need to put words in if she had said about «Beastmaster» of «Beast-kin» category.

—«Star Agent.»

In layman’s terms, it took what the «Star Cat» had specialized in—speed, and took it to the new height. The twin-dagger battle form, along with its agile movement, and multi-hit attack also cliched in more smoothly there. It was an example of greatness in simplicity.

“Hmm?”

Karua gave me a gaze as if saying ‘no need to use cool equipment like everyone else?’ And yes, there was no such thing for «Star Agent». Skill and status... well, reaching «STR350» was a pickle, otherwise everything’s well on this end as well.

It was primarily driven from the fact that «Star Cat» had a restriction; seven points must be used to raise AGI. So this only left 12 points for the rest of the status to build. And this was the turning point; «Star Agent» was unlocked by upgrading STR using limited points.

You would have nothing but a flashy character, that was all show but no work, if those points were to be used in increasing AGI as well. It was why you needed to sketch a plan before, and make the STR reach 350.

Aside from that was a specific condition, having certain skill/magic above certain level, but this was easie-peasie.

Anyway, cut to chase, everything was cleared.

“I see...”

Seeing a slight forlorn look on her face, I gave her a cheer up head pat.

......No wait. I had just done it out of reflex, but I just realized—wasn’t it the first time I was actually touching cat ears?

W-Woahh, so this is how real cat ears feel like. It feels like I was rubbing a silky surface. Unexpected, but I had no complaints.

“Hnn.”

“Zephyr, how long are you going to do it?”

My body suddenly tensed up hearing Sierra’s dissatisfied voice.

Frankly, I could have continued for a lifetime, but alas, I had to exercise patience and took back my hand.

“W-Whoops, look at the silly me! Here, this is your ticket, Karua.”

I handed Karua her ticket and took her to «Dragon Statue».

Receiving it, she placed her free hand on the «Dragon Statue».

“Hn, «Star Agent» is here. Should I do it?”

“Right on. Go for it!”

“Hn, okay. —«Star Agent.»”

After nodding my way, with no particular expression on her face, she selected «Star Agent».

——In this way, Karua had also acquired an advanced job.
