I was walking attentively through the woodlands area in search of monsters. I could never be too careful even if I had a monster-tracking angel on my head.
It was only recently the Akashic Records came into contact with wildlife. Although Earth was a special case, there shouldn't be too many monsters.
It was obvious some random no-name angel like Mita wasn't as talented as Erta or Lita, but she was a fifth class nonetheless. I inferred Mita could track monsters to a lesser extent than Erta's abilities. After all, Erta was talented in magic.
After half an hour of searching, Mita finally tracked some monsters.
"There are some monsters twenty-one meters to your left."
"How many exactly?"
"There are exactly eleven monsters."
Running towards their direction, I notice most of them are feeding on the remains of another animal. They were a pack of wolves.
All of the wolves, growling, had their attention on me because of their keen senses. Only five of the wolves walked towards me. The rest were too young to be of any help.
Out of the five, three immediately leaped at me trying to kill. I easily evaded all three of them while the two remaining just observed me. It seems three that attacked me were somewhat juvenile. Although the three were big, the two observing me were even larger. They were probably the alpha and its mate, and the rest were their offspring.
After their first attempt, all of them were wary of attacking me. If they weren't going to come at me, I would.
Sprinting towards one of the three young wolves, I thrust my sword right through its head. The wolf fell with a thud as I freed my sword. All of the wolves became enraged, but the other two young ones were too angry to think.

Letting their anger cloud their judgment, they both attack me from opposite sides. Instead of confronting them, I roll to the side while they both collide. Both being dazed I take the chance and slash both their heads off.

Immediately after, I was attacked by the two remaining wolves. Both could no longer watch after seeing their offspring killed off. The first to come close was immediately stabbed in the heart then kicked, knocking it against the alpha.
The mate laid limp, quickly dying, and the alpha swiftly got back on its feet. Although it was quick, I was quicker resulting in my blade going right through its head. Freeing my sword, I look towards the mate. I make sure she's dead also making sure there is no possible offspring that will come back and bite me in the ass.

[You cannot become Level 10 without obtaining a class. All records acquired before obtaining a class will be calculated after generating a class.]
After checking the female, I head towards their litter of puppies. The six puppies were quite small right now, but I knew better. They would grow as big or even bigger than the ones I killed. They were wild animals, and I was no tamer. They were bound to attack humans, so I killed them all. Their whimpers were none of my concern as they would meet their end against another human anyway.

Now, it was time to head home and eat.
...
Making myself some food at home, I turn on the tv. As I eat, the news airs on the tv. I immediately frown seeing myself fighting against two overgrown cats.
Someone managed to record my fight. Turning off the tv, I eat in silence. This angel wouldn't talk to me anyway.
I think I should cover my face the next time I go out. It seems they've already managed to identify me.
Moving on, it's time to choose my first class.
[All of your records will be materialized into possibilities. You can acquire one of the classes below]
[1. Swordsman]
[2. Brawler]
[3. Grappler]
[4. Hunter]
[5. Chef]
[6. Marksman]
[7. Intuitive Swordman]
"I can choose seven classes, but the only one that looks strong is the last one."
"Oh, seven classes. That is pretty good for the amount of time you've been in contact with the Akashic Records. So what is the last class?"
"The last class I can choose is… Feral Swordsman."
"A unique job! As your first job too! I recommend you choose that one."
Mita had a surprised expression as if I hadn't spent a thousand years of training. She didn't expect a 'lesser being' to achieve such a feat. I wonder how surprised she would be if I told her the actual class I could choose. Intuitive Swordsman sounds way stronger than whatever Feral Swordsman would be.
[You have become an Intuitive Swordsman. When attacking through instincts, attack power increased by 5%. The power of swordsmanship increases by 10%.]
[You have become a
[Swordsmanship skill's evolution conditions become easier.]
[You absorb the piled-up records. You have become level 11. 2 Health, 3 Magic, 2 Strength, 3 Agility increases.]
[You cannot use mana. You cannot learn active skills.]
Soon after choosing my first class, I felt something change within me. I felt as if my left eye had become something different. Heading to the bathroom, I see myself in the mirror.
A one hundred eighty-three centimeter tall, above average young white male in his early twenties with short messy dark brown hair and brown eyes. His face underlining a chiseled jawline with a designer stubble facial hairstyle.
I checked everything, mainly my left eye, but nothing looked any different. It might be something meant for future classes. I'll just have to wait and see.
[Alexander Arcani]
[Human Intuitive Swordsman Lv11]
[Title – Take what you want]
[Strength – 81 Agility – 97 Health – 86 Magic – 15]
[Active Skills – Terraria Swords and Armors Summon]
[Passive Skills – Physical Sword Mastery Lv Max, Physical Combat Mastery Lv Max, Cooking Lv75]
I didn't learn any active skills, but that was to be expected. Although Terraria Swords and Armors Summon skill was an exception, it still needs mana to be used.
Looks like things are proceeding well. Once I get a high enough level, I should enter a dungeon.
