Moonlight was shaken, but she was also very happy. Now she has a guild, with a guild house and a professional Guild Master. She then laughed and said, "Then I would like to greet Guild Master Mystic."
"Then come here, since you're already a comrade I'll assign to fight the archer class to make things quicker. Would that be alright?" Magnus smiled and asked. Though they can't see his smile because it was covered by the Bandit Mask.
"I would be fine Guild Master." Moonlight smiled. All the spectators were again smitten, she's just gorgeous.
With that, recruitment officially started. Moonlight picked the Archer, Connor for the mages, and Magnus for all the melee class.
The Lifestyle class was filtered by Fiery Wing. Though he's not Lifestyle Class, he's work is still easy. He just needs to pick the highest level of proficiency in the applicants. As for the Priest, they would just need two or three of them for now so he would just need to pick the highest level.
In the middle of the sparring grounds, where Magnus stood, a young man with a Thief class came. He's level 42, besides Level 51 he's the highest level from the crowd.
After Magnus said that he could start, he instantly used Stealth and turned invisible. Magnus just stood in the middle, his hands on the back, and his eyes closed. The crowd didn't react much as they didn't look down on his actions now. They just watched and anticipated the next scene.
As the Thief turned invisible, he sneak at the back of the close eyed youth. As he was at the back he used Backstab. A skill used by Thief which increases the damage of his first attack. Before he could even hit his back, a fist greeted his quite handsome face. He didn't have the chance to dodge as he was caught surprised.
This strike canceled his Stealth, he is now visible to everyone. Gasps filled the crowds, though they anticipated something awesome, they didn't think its this awesome. How awesome is it to spot someone invisible? It's very, very awesome.
Magnus strikes again, after startling the Thief with his punch he followed it with two kick to the shoulder and one to the head. But before he hit the head paused his actions. His legs are positioned an inch before the Thief's head. A combo 3x appeared over his head with a total 900 as damage. Magnus limits his strike so he won't accidentally kill someone.
The Thief surrendered with wide eyes, not long ago he was sneaking to his opponent going for a one-hit kill. But now he only has less than 10 HP. It happened in just a blink of an eye. As a Thief, he has a huge advantage during PvP, especially 1v1, but his opponent is just too amazing that he can predict his movements without even looking at him.
Magnus has this ability, a peculiar one, when something is about to touch him he would feel it just before it hit. When someone pats his back, even a friendly one, he would feel it beforehand. This peculiar, yet awesome, the sixth sense was developed by countless battles. It's like a different kind of fear, fear from danger, yet it doesn't seem like that as well. This also made things like catching arrows mid-air possible.
As the crowd calmed down, the recruitment went on. Countless people are trying their luck, a guild like this surely a top tier one, for it to recruit only those who have talents. There are already 2 Knights that passed, and all of them are top tier meat shields. The names are 'Undying Pest' and 'Endless Battle', from their name alone you could already tell how difficult it is to kill them. They are very proficient in using Knights skills.
Undying Pests is good at timing Block. Block is a skill only available for Knights, it has 10 seconds cooldown. It would null or reduced the damage of certain attacks. If you reach high proficiency in using these attacks, you would truly be titled as an Undying Pest.
Endless Battle on the other hand is proficient in using Parry. Parry can deflect damages. when he was using it he would make sure that to use it when the strongest attack is about to hit him. Magnus felt a headache when he was fighting this guy, when he attacked not only the damaged is reduced upon impact it would deflect to him. Thus he just passed him without a single hesitation.
After two hours, the crowd started to leave. The only one recruited aside from the meat shields is a Warrior named 'Lonely Man Amidst The War' he's also skilled in martial arts. He said that his a Self Defense instructor and also a retired military official.
Not even a single Thief is recruited. But after Magnus tested the last person, when he was going to meet with his mates, he was stopped by three girls. One with red hair, purple hair, and white hair. The three are good looking as well, but compared to Moonlight they're quite lacking. Nevertheless, the three are fairly good looking.
"Hello Mr. Mystic, I'm Rose." said the one with red hair. Then she pointed at the one with purple hair "She's Violet." she then pointed at the white-haired chick "And she's Lilac. We're called the Amethyst Three, we're also an avid gamer and have quite a number of fans already. I know that you're guild only recruits top tier player, we would like to join it as well."
"Oh? Okay then, come in the stage let's have a 1v1." Magnus said not even asking what classes they are.
"The thing is, individually we're not good at fighting. So we would like to propose something." Lilac said with glittering eyes.
"Okay, let's hear it," Magnus said as he put his hand on his back.
"We three are Priest, support types. We actually don't do solo stuff, as we three act as one. If you judge our strength individually we would thoroughly disappoint you. We're only level 30 and we just enter the City, upon entering this City we saw your announcement so we decided to come here. We saw your fighting style and we truly admire, even though we can't really understand your moves..." Rose was interrupted while in the middle of her flattering.
"Stop the nonsense, what's your business?" Magnus shouted, quite annoyed.
Rose felt embarrassed, she turned red, scratching her head she said "Three of us versus you. We're just Priest so we don't have much damage, but Priest's main job is to heal anyway. If you kill anyone of us, you win. That also means we're not going support, that's if you win."
Magnus smiled and nodded. Even if they win or lose he would still accept them, no matter what. So he just played their game and maybe he can see the potential.
The three rushed to the center in positioned their selves, the three formed a triangle shape. Lilac and Violet stood together while Rose is supporting them from the back. Magnus also prepared for the battle, he stood sideways his left hand at the back while his right is out, prompting the girls to start.
The three girls looked at each other and nodded. Lilac and Violet unequipped their quarterstaff after casting boosting spells to each other, while Rose at the back kept her quarterstaff and stood there to support them when needed. Though a Priest can cast spells without quarterstaffs, the casting time would be longer.
Lilac and Violet moved forward, after closing in enough distance Violet throw a punch while Lilac throws a kick. Magnus blocked the kick after dodging the punch, for the moment he didn't counter-attack. Without waiting for Magnus to attack, the two continued throw attacks.
At first, Magnus didn't give them his attention, but as the fight went on he found himself in a tight spot. He was now evading at high speed, some of the attacks started to hit him. The attacks of the girl kept getting fast and unpredictable. Well not until Magnus started to focus on the battle. Though he only intended to test them and see if they got something to show off, now he was concentrating.
The two attacked ferociously, and Magnus started his move. Whenever he has a chance he would punch any of them. But his efforts are in vain as once someone was damaged Rose would heal them, except for Magnus. Magnus got hit only twice, but that is only because Magnus can't keep up to their speed.
The reason for this is Rose, he cast a buffing spell called 'Wind of Life'. This skill boosted the speed of whoever this cast upon, though the effects would be reduced when cast to two people its still quite formidable. This skill is from a Hidden Class, Elemental Druid.
Their Elemental Druids can still heal like normal Priest, the only advantage they have is abnormal stackable buffs. A Wind Druid can boost movements, Fire Druids can boost damage, and Water Druids can boost defense. The effects can be stacked and only dependent on the caster's mana.
Rose is Wind Druid, Lilac is a Fire Druid, while Violet is a Water Druid. They quite had a fortune, they met a wandering mentor in their beginner village. Just like Magnus when he met Victor. Though they still have to finish their quest to obtain more skills.
They already plan this out, they already made sure that once Magnus agreed on the terms they would surely be recruited. Their strategy is when Rose exhausted her mana they would switch positions. Rose will be battling Magnus while Lilac and Violet with boosting her. Even though Rose will move slower, her defense is much better much more her damage. They only plan to exhaust Magnus as they know they can't really finish him of.
"Alright I surrender!" he shouted as he lay on the ground, puffing for air.
The three girls jumped from happiness, their plan succeeded. Not only they would be able to enter a guild, but its also top tier, and there's more the Guild Master is professional with two First Boss kill under his name. The game just started, it's only a month and a week, which is 4 months in-game. Its too early, and to have two First Boss kill is incredible. Magnus also soloed them which made it more incredible.
"You girls sure is a handful. Nevertheless, even if you didn't beat me I'll still accept you to the guild." Magnus said as he laughed, seemingly satisfied with the girls' performance.
The Amethyst Three's celebration halted as they heard Magnus. Were our efforts wasted then? They have questions like 'Why didn't you tell us earlier?' but they didn't voice it out. Only Rose spoke and said, "Why so?"
"Oh? You didn't know? This is the Eastern Continent, the God of Combat. There's only a little amount of Priest in the area as they went to the Southern Continent, the God of Holy Light. Every guild would want you, especially as talented as you three. I would even pay you guys if you didn't sign up, luckily you approach me first."
The three realize Magnus' point. They spend a lot of power scheming their way into the guild. But they realize the one important point to late. They could've even earned money. Their legs felt like noodles as they sat on the ground slowly. The three then said in unison "D*mn!'
