"Don't worry, just feel it." Said the Crab slightly embarrassed.
Reviewing the weapons ,Baaz inspected them with care and tried to choose based on his knowledge of how the differents class he was given usually fight.
There was a lot to think about,he needed a place to stay the night,he had a class to choose,and now the Crab was letting him choose a weapon.The situation was stressful,taking a deep breath Baaz demanded a moment and reviewed his options.From the get go he chose to eliminate the Spearman, from his point of view there was no way he was going to use a stick because as soon the enemy is close to you it over.The Swordsman was an okay choice, in other circumstances he wouldn't have hesitated but he knew the setbacks. Whitout a teacher to guide him,that was a huge no no,he wasn't delusional believing himself some kind of genius,heck he hadn't won a fight since he woke up here.
The warrior was too vague and even when he concentrated on it he only saw this:
[Warrior: A fighter who is very free in it combat style,some only use their fists as weapons and train their body till it becomes their armor.
Balthazar had no death wish,using his body as a weapon he would have laughed if he wasn't so busy also it was the same problem that he encountered with the Swordsman class.So here was also a big no,which only left him with the True Berserker class.

What is a Berserker?The Berserker is a breed of Fighter focused more on damage than defense.Berserkers have greater than normal physical defense compared to other warriors,they are often characterized by wearing less armor, being less civilized, and being able to fly into a berserker rage that increases their damage output or allow them to do more damage based on how hurt they are.They are some of the best fighters out there,but they are also a rare breed,the cause,their main skill.Berserk.
A skill that is so fearsome and that allows a Berserker to be unbeatable in a fight with people on the same level and is a skill that is so profound that it's potential cannot be unlocked by everyone as it is rumored that it's very high on the gradation ladders.It is also the same skill that also hold them back because the more power you receive, the more of your sanity is lost,and the more severe your injuries,you also exponentially become stronger.
Because of this Berserker are always feared and rare are the people willing to team up with them.
"You know, overthinking can be very detrimental at times.Why are you hesitating so much?" Said the Crab
For once,the Crab was behaving like a true sage,Baaz took a deep breath and readied himself now was finally time.Wasting time thinking will not get him anywhere so better get over with it.He made his choice.
[ you have selected the T@#R$%U@#$E $%:% B #$$#erserker class]
It seems that the option was still bugged and for a moment,Bazz questioned if he made the right choice.Lost in his thoughts, he was caught unprepared by the pain that struck him.He felt as if his body was imploding,his veins swelled and blood started oozing out of his orifices and for a small instant he felt his consciousness shutting down and had to lean on a wall behind him to not fall down.
Soon enough, the pain receded and a feeling of power remained,he had changed,he felt it,his mind was clear and his thinking ability augmented.In wonder,he examined himself and found something,it was deep inside of him. It was new and at the same time was there from the beginning ,he instinctively felt that he could move it,this was mana.Next,he opened his status window and took in the changes.

"Hey,Hermit,why does the skill tab stays blank?,I didn't receive any skills."said a confused Baaz
" Calm down boy,skill is not given it is earned what did you think? The system is not sentient,it helps everyone and is not biased.Here take those."
Three books appeared and floated in the air,
" Are those skills books?" Baaz asked
" Yes they are, pick two of the lot." Said the Crab
When Baaz used inspect on them he got.
[Strike: Augments the force of the strike lauched]
[Leap attack: jump and while in the air strike your enemies,augments the momentum to almost a fourth of your initial attack.]
[Shoulder charge: Use your Shoulder to strike your enemies taking them by surprise.]
After reading their descriptions,he immediately chose the first ones leaving Shoulder charge aside.He took the books,opening them,instantly the knowledge of how to move his body to execute those skills instantly entered his head.Now, he knew how to execute them but unfortunately his body didn't but he was sure that with enough training, he will get gist of it.Now he only needed to choose his last gift.
The weapons were still displayed so he went over them analyzing each one and weighing their pros and cons. He rapidly discarded bows,spears,Shortswords,daggers,staffs only leaving a Greatsword and an Axe.He used inspect on the Greatsword first.
