But, there's only one obvious answer.
.
[Congratulations on upgrading your class]
[You have selected: War Spearsman]
[Basic Stats have received their buff]
[Advanced Stats have received their class-specific buff]
.
This was the obvious answer, and just as soon as I went to check my status, a few expected panels appeared in front of me.
[A few gods roar at your decision]
[A few gods question your decision]
[You have attracted the attention of more gods]
I silently laughed to myself, causing Aisa beside me to look at me with a weird expression again as she thought I was laughing at her.
"Bro, I literally can't even think straight. Get me some more medicine instead of sitting on your ass," She rudely interrupted this joyous occasion.
"Hold on a second," I muttered.
"Ugh… I'm actually going to faint," She muttered as she just managed to suppress herself from puking all over the place.
"Fine, fine," I gave in before making my way to the pharmacy to get some anti-nausea medication.
But, I still enjoyed my time seeing the amazing reactions that were like eye candy as I stared at the panels with a massive smile.
That's what you get for trying to mislead me… I'm not so dumb that as a mere mortal such as me would fall for your tricks.
The system wants me to go down another path? Bullshit.
[The gods want to cut off your tounge]
[The gods cry out in anger]

…
I stared at the XP section of my status intently before watching the panels flood in once again.
The gods most likely manipulated my system to where I would be more glued to the beautiful rose of a class that I specialize in, but the thorns lying beneath would be the inability to gain XP.
This eventually would lead to me being unable to class up, and just overall grow stronger… well, it would just take longer… Much longer.
See, those other classes basically restricted my growth in fighting potential, which is my primary source of XP, and as I want to grow stronger in a more physical aspect, I have to select this class.
Selecting the other one's one just be imploding my future.
I'm already amazing at the other things, and there are already skills that you can gain through natural causes to achieve the same effects as those classes… actually, no, I take that back.
The influence on my ability to manipulate people would be amazing, but it didn't even tempt me in the slightest as I knew it could be a trap.
I might be able to gain XP through the people I manipulate, but it isn't guaranteed… so I didn't pick it.
Plus, I'm more interested in improving my spear capabilities rather than my manipulation as I don't feel like becoming a mafia boss anytime soon.
[The gods have begun to stomp in anger]
Okay… this is getting annoying now.
After about fifteen minutes, I arrived back at my dorm with some anti-nausea medicine and noticed Aisa was meditating in place.
She was entirely in the zone, and I kind of wanted to test this state out a bit, so I did some minor things that she should've been able to notice as a proficient fighter.
But, to my surprise, she didn't notice me poking her head or rattling the medicine bottle in front of her.
"Hey, I got your medicine,"
"AHH!" She shouted before falling flat on her back.
"Geez, you shouldn't enter such a deep state with nobody around. You could get robbed, y'know," I said before tossing the medicine bottle to her and kicking her out of my room.
"You just almost blinded me, and now you're kicking me out? What a rude host," She mutters before walking off.
I didn't care much for her after seeing that she was fine.
Plus, I was a bit salty that I still didn't achieve the eyes I wanted… but eventually, I let go of the feelings after realizing how immature I was.
I had to accept it whether I liked it or not.
"*sigh*... Well, the reactions were a bit amusing," I muttered before jogging to the library, where I consumed as much information as I possibly could.
…
(Unknown POV)
He's smart.
I gave him a challenge, and he immediately overcame it without a hint of hesitation…
The others completely underestimated him, but thankfully, I am fully aware of his capabilities, so I won a few thousand souls as a reward.
They were delicious and fulfilling but didn't increase my power by much.
Still, I expect great things in the future from this boy, so I'll continue to sponsor him… but if he ever loses my interest or dies, I won't even save his soul from hell when the time comes.
Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...
A resounding clanging of metal banged against my floor, and I already knew who it was.
"Athena, what do you want now?" I asked the woman who relentlessly annoyed me over the fact that I chose her target.
Her jealousy was clear and unfitting of an all-powerful god.
"I have come to offer you a deal," She says, placing out her hand and revealing an orb of bright red light that slowly floated towards me.
"Oh, are you sure you want to use that? Shouldn't you try and gain the favor of one of his friends? I feel like using it on him is a waste…."
"When did you care about such trivial things?" She smirked.
"Huh… I wonder when," I muttered as I grabbed the red orb and swallowed it like a massive pill.
"He's rubbing off on you, isn't he… It's almost like he's your-"
"Quiet,"
"Fufufufufu… Fine, fine," She mutters before waving goodbye.
