It's been a month that their party grinding together, and that 1 free slot is still not filled yet. They finally reach the level 30, and from now on, the experience points they got isn't as easy as before. It's already third day they go out in the Silvershade Grove without going back to Eden's heart, the city for novice player. But they haven't levelling up even just 1 level. Tired, they decide to have some rest. Sky already gotten dark here. They sit around a bonfire Melody's just lit.
It's so silent, only the cracking sounds of bonfire can be heard. Everyone is tired, but there's more important than that who makes everyone is so silent.
"Megumi" Jay called. Megumi looks at him, makes him looks hesitant. Jay take a deep breath and finally continue, "Maybe you really should change your job." Jay said. Megumi was shocked, loss for words. That's actually true. She realize it from the start. But didn't Megumi withstand all of it because of Jay's words of encouragement?
"This game really just need a DPS, no need for support. How about you change to archer? You are used to long-range combat, so assassin maybe too much for you." He continued.
It's true, Jay isn't wrong. But Megumi can't help but feeling a bit down. "C-can I think about it tonight?" Megumi replied staring blankly at the campfire.
"Of course. Think about it" Jay smiled, patted Megumi's shoulder lightly and silence enveloped them again.
Why Megumi reluctant about it even though she herself know that's the only choice she have is because, if she change her job, then her level will be back to 1 again. It's so hard to reach this point and she need to start from the beginning again? Everyone will hesitant like Megumi surely.
As the night passed, the morning sun began to greet them. The other 3 doesn't ask anything about last night, but Megumi can feel it that they are waiting for her decision. Jay leading them to start their hunting. A day passed so fast, another day is about to end and the experience points their get today isn't enough to level up again. They conclude that this place is done for, and they need to go to another place for hunting. But before that, they need to come back to the city to sell gems they get and buying item and everything they need for the next hunting.
"Cheers!" Everyone with full of smile, raising each glass and toasting each other. They start to talk like usually that makes Megumi think that what happens yesterday doesn't mind them anymore. She can stay to be a healer with them.
---o0o---
"Well then, let's have a rest. Tomorrow is a free time, prepare anything you need to go to Emberfall Canyon. Since that is an ancient volcanic place with fire element monster, that means Melody, you need to learn some water type skills. HanaHana can stay in ice magic, or adding earth type magic can be useful too for our next hunting. Just remember, you two better to take different element so you can complete each other. Taking all the element will limit you to basic only skills. It's better to focus on one element first. Once all its skill is unlocked, then you can think about the next element. But it's still soooo far from us. Ahahha. And for Megumi… err, I don't know about healer's skill. If there still have skill you can buy, then just buy it." Like a good leader, Jay began to divide each individual's tasks. Everyone accept it, and they parting to have a rest.
Another day passed. The sounds of chirping bird wakes Megumi up, so sweet, such a good start of day. After preparing herself, she walk to the church. Actually, she already buy all the basic skills available but no harm to check again in case they update it and new skill is out. No luck in there though.
After that, Megumi walked to the market. Even though Jay said to go shopping, actually Megumi doesn't know what to buy. A healer can only use holy element. Potion? A healer buying a potion is a bit…weird. You can say she herself is walking potion. Need healing potion? She can use heal. Need agility potion? She can use accelerate. Need vitality potion? She can use vigilance. Need intelligence potion? She can use insight. Need dexterity potion? She can use dexterous. Need strength potion? She can use empowerment.
Megumi sighing. She really didn't know what to do until finally, she accidentally passed The Adventurer's Forge, a premier weapons emporium catering to player. Find finely crafted accessories, weapons, armor, and many more within its walls. Just for fun, Megumi entered the shop. No one inside, so Megumi started looking at the displays in the shop, mostly weapon and armor. She tried one of the sword there. It's heavy, but she can hold it. She try to swing it some times. It seems in this world, you can still use weapon that doesn't mean for your job. But it won't give any bonus stats or special effects from that weapon. In Megumi case here, every sword—or something like that, no matter how great it is, its just an ordinary sword in Megumi's hand. In the other hand, if a knight hold a mage's wand, it's just an ordinary wand in their hands. No spell can be casted by them.
"Miss, that sword doesn't suit you"
Someone from behind said, making Megumi startled and almost dropping the sword in her hand. A middle-aged man with a muscular body and height almost 2 meter doesn't seems pleased by Megumi who touch his goods.
"I-I'm sorry" Megumi put the sword back immediately. "Do you have anything for healer?" Megumi asked.
"Healer have the same weapon as mage. You can use wand-type weapon with holy attributes bonus." He replied and leading Megumi to where he display the wand type weapon. Even thought mage and healer have the same weapon type, but there are more mage's wand in there. It gives special effects in mage's skill that a healer can't use.
"I can't use mage's skill and holy attribute won't be used to fight fire element monster so can you find me a wand that gives more general special bonus that a healer can use too?" Megumi asked again.
"Oh, are you going to Emberfall Canyon? Well, then I recommend this one. It can reduce your skill's cooling down time by 10%" he tooks a red one wands, and show it to Megumi. "It's the best one in this city" he added.
"That's great! How much is this?" Megumi asked and the shopkeeper show the price display. "That's too expensive!!"
---o0o---
After some war bargaining with the shopkeeper, Megumi get a discount for the wand. But it really took so much time that the sun is almost setting. She quickened her pace, can't wait to show her teammates her new wand but suddenly...
You have been removed from the party.
"WHAAAAT?!?!" Megumi shouted, that even startle the passerby.
