Chapter 20 Acquiring A Class

"Oh, searching me up, are you?"

Annoying little shit…

"What do you want?" I ask the girl in front of me.

"Wanted to see what my future butler was doing," She responds with a smirk that clearly shows her intentions.

It seems they're planning to make a move soon.

"*sigh*... Why are you going so far for such a trifling little thing as myself,"

"Because I always get what I want… No matter what it is,"

Her smile crept me out as it seemed a bit sadistic, but I decided to brush it off as I didn't expect a girl as young as her to have that type of personality.

But when I glanced at her again… I started to have second thoughts.

"What a weirdo," I muttered.

And it seems I hurt her pride as she immediately slapped me across the cheek.

The sound was so loud that it echoed through the training room, garnering the attention of my classmates who were learning the basic spear moves.

"What happened?!" The teacher shouted, and the girl before me glared at me with such intent that I thought it would pierce my head.

I just sighed before ignoring the instructor.

…

"Hey, isn't that the guy?"

"Yeah, I suppose so,"

"He actually offended the Wony family,"

"How idiotic could you be?"

As I walked down the halls of my school, I could overhear a few conversations directed or about me.

But, they didn't bother, and I quickly made my way to lunch.

I took everything I thought was delicious and sat next to Findir, who was alone as well.

We talked and ate for a bit until I felt something wet drip onto my head and down my neck and shoulders.

Everybody around me began to laugh, and when I glanced back, I saw the same red-haired girl from before, standing behind her lackeys who had poured milk on my head.

So childish…

I quickly got up from my seat and left the cafeteria, unfazed by the childish taunts.

I guess I should go to the dungeon now…

…

"What's wrong?" The massive tortoise asked as I continued to genocide his children casually.

The new [Spear Coating] skill that I acquired came in handy as it didn't use nearly as much mana per minute as [Tangible Bloodlust].

And thankfully, it reinforced my strength enough for me to pierce the thick skin of the tortoises.

"I ran into a few problems… But once this is washed over, I can live my life in content," I respond before slashing upwards.

"Sounds annoying,"

"Yep… Very annoying- oh, finally,"

I glanced up at the panel before me with a smile.

.

[You have leveled up]

[You have reached the max level]

[You can now select your class]

.

The singular panel suddenly split into three panels, revealing two basic classes that didn't really catch my attention and one other that slightly intrigued me.

.

[Class: Spearsman]

[Description: You have maxed out your level while being proficient with the spear. Your proficiency will only increase with this class, and you'll feel more familiar with foreign spears that you haven't used before.]

[Requirements: Some Proficiency with the Spear | 8 Strength ]

[Class Bonus: +5 Speed | +5 Strength]

.

"Pretty good…" I mutter before glancing at the next option.

.

[Class: Magician]

[Description: You have maxed out your level while being proficient with some sort of magic. Your proficiency will only increase with this class, and you'll feel more familiar with foreign spells that you hadn't used before.]

[Requirements: Some Proficiency with a Type of Magic | 8 Magic ]

[Class Bonus: +8 Magic]

.

It's alright, but it doesn't suit my style.

And finally….

.

[Class: Strategist]

[Decription: You have maxed out your level while being proficient in strategizing. Your proficiency with creating strategies will only increase with this class, and you'll be able to adapt to stressful situations quickly.]

[Requirements: Proficiency in Strategizing]

[Class Bonus: Addition of New Neurons | Clearer Mind ]

[Class Drawbacks: -2 Strength | -2 Speed | -2 Defense ]

.

"Are you kidding me… It was looking so good until that last part… Shit,"

"What? One of the classes had a drawback?"

"Yeah… How did you know?"

"It's a reaction everybody has,"

"Anyway, can you stop bugging me? I need to think this over. Eat your cakes over there or something," I wave my hand towards the pile of cakes that I had bought for the massive tortoise.

And strangely, he did end up shutting up even though I was just joking.

…

Upon mulling over it for half an hour and weighing the outcomes of the classes and my future with the classes… I finally selected one

[Congratulations on receiving a class]

…

"I have class in a bit. I'll bring more cakes once I've traded in all these crystals," I say before slinging the brown sack over my back and making my way towards the exit.

The only way I could afford all these cakes was because I was finally receiving a bit of pocket change that I didn't need to work for, for 8 hours a day in a coffee shop.

The pocket change came from me exchanging the tiny magic cores within the tortoises.

The first step to retrieving them was: Stick your blade into the dead corpse of the tortoise and inject [Tangible Bloodlust] into it, bursting them open.

Next step: Retrieve the magic core and throw it into the sack

After a few minutes of running, I finally reached the exit and left the dungeon.

I soon felt the night vision fade away, and I made my way to the nearby market where I would sell these stones.

"These will all go for… 2 gold coins and a few silver coins,"

"Thanks, transfer it to my bank account," I respond, and as I was on my way back to the high school campus, I saw a notification on my phone confirming the transfer of the money.

Now, all I had to do was get back to campus, take a shower, and get to class.

This time I also gave myself enough time to actually not be late as I was interested in this class.

"Guns, huh?"

The travel back to my dorm room wasn't peaceful though, as people began to talk about me more and more.

Even when I arrived at my room, people were there waiting for me.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing," They snicker before running off down the hallway.

I ignored them once again before entering my room and taking a quick shower.

It was nice and refreshing, and just as the transition bell rang, I was on my way to class.

The same gossip continued around me even as I entered the large classroom, similar to the spear theory classroom.

"Welcome. Welcome. Welcome,"

The teacher greeted all of us with a smile and we were directed to sit in the center of the room.
