Inside the Unyielding Haven which was located in the place which was once known as Yamaguchi, something quite special was happening since the past two months.
It was during the period in which Adventurer Classes were gaining fame, that a particular woman appeared and showcased her unique powers.
What happened on that day was quite simple.
A young girl was running on the street when she tripped and fell, and in the process got her knee scared.
Due to this, the little girl started crying, and that's when a woman stepped up and healed her.
It would've been fine and not too surprising if she used her hands to heal the wound like those with the healer class did.
But, what the woman did, was sing a song.
There weren't any words in her song. It was a simple melody which she sang.
However, along with the melody, the girl was covered in a bright light under which her knee was healing at a speed faster than what the ordinary healing magic was capable of.
And it wasn't just that.
Along with the girl, everyone who stood close to the woman could feel all tiredness leave their body, and feel completely refreshed.
Even though she wasn't doing anything to them!
What did that mean? Her abilities were so high, that even though she was only helping the little girl, everyone was able to obtain some benefit from it.
In that case, what would happen if she did focus on helping a group as a whole?
Would all of them be healed?
This question spread like a wildfire throughout the Unyielding Haven, and soon reached the ears of the Haven Lord, and the top adventure group leaders.
...
Since that day, the woman who had made a living by sewing clothes and not using her powers until now, was given one of the best houses inside the Unyielding Haven to live in, without having to even spend a single point.
And was bombarded with offers from every single adventure group inside the Haven with terms that would make everyone drool.
However, other than accepting the house and quietly living in it, the woman didn't accept any of the offers made by the adventure groups.
Furthermore, she even rejected the Haven Lord, Izuki Takeda, when he proposed to her.
But even after that, the Haven Lord didn't say a thing and continued to let her live the same way without trying to force her into marrying him.
This was because, he knew that given how special her class was, even if he kicked her out the other Haven Lord's would do their best to take her in.
That was how great her class was.
...
"Why did I obtain this power? Having everyone fight for me, and wanting me to help them fight... It disgusts me!"
Floating in front of the woman who spoke, was a translucent Angel that looked more like a soul than a real. body.
"Worry not my child, your power, it was given to you for a reason."
Listening to that warm voice which made her nerves relax a little, the woman opened her status screen.
[Name : Nozomi Kaneko
Race : Human
Class : Special Class - Maiden of Healing (Lvl 1)
Strength : 7
Mana : 99
Vitality : 99
Agility : 9
Free Stats : 0]
"A reason?"
Nodding her head, the Angel whose face was. Hidden behind the mist continued speaking with a smile.
"Yes. On one day, you'll be forced to make a choice."
"A choice which will decide in whose favour the balance will tilt. Dungeons, or Havens."
"And remember, the heart is a very fickle thing. It isn't always best to think with your heart."
Everything the Angel spoke since she appeared was quite obscure, and didn't reveal any kind of details.
But her body was already turning more transparent with every word she said.
"I've already said too much, my child. I can no longer stay here. I just hope you remember my words."
Saying so, the Angel started completely disappeared and left the woman all alone and pondering over what just happened.
The Angel had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and spoke many things before suddenly leaving, causing Nozomi to not even what to think.
...
Above the Basic Classes, there were the Rare Classes, Special Classes, and Legendary Classes.
Rare Classes were stronger than Basic Classes, while the Special and Legendary Classes were even stronger than the Rare Classes.
However, Special Classes despite the strength they provided, had many restrictions on them, due to which they were considered a tad below the Legendary Classes overall.
...
Even after the Angel spoke to her and left, Nozomi didn't change a single aspect of her life and continued living in the same way.
Rejecting every adventure group that sent an invitation to her every day, Nozomi was starting to think that this was how her life would be until the day she died, when something changed.
After being rejected over and over despite how many concessions they were making, and even going as far as to offer her 50% of what their adventure group makes, the members of the groups who were being sent to recruit her were turning more frustrated and angry by the day.
And, since those who were being sent to recruit Nozomi were all women as well, it wouldn't take long before they started to feel jealous of her.
While they couldn't hurt or kill her due to the fear of suffering the Haven Lord's wrath, they could, however, do something which would make Nozomi's life harder.
Thus, one of the women who got fed up from trying to convince Nozomi to join her adventure group every day, and got beat up by their leader when she failed to do so, made a drastic move by taking a photo of her face and posting all details about her, including her powers on the social interface.
