Chapter 11 - Class Change

"And then I went on to find more people Ya-de Ya-de Ya-de and now we're here." Ada waved her hand, side-to-side, in a dismissive manner, followed by a repeated sound of footsteps going back and forth.

"You listening?" Ada looked towards Everette, who was pacing back and forth with his finger tucked under his chin.

"Mhm. I'm just thinking about what to do after the food situation."

"Food? We have that covered for a while. The cafeteria had lots of unperishable foods."

"Is that so? How about water?"

Ada stiffened before calling out to a girl, "Ruby! Did we grab water from the cafeteria?" Ruby had ginger hair and wore a skirt, a black blazer, and a white shirt.

Ruby pondered before turning to someone and then nodding back with a thumbs up.

Ada turned back to Everette with a smug look, "How about you? Did your group bring anything to the table?"

Everette nodded, "Everyone who came with me is equipped with some kind of sharp object."

"Is that so? But did they help, though?"

"I mean... They defended themselves until I arrived."

"I guess that means they aren't totally useless. Oh! I almost forgot, what Class did you pick?"

Everette raised a brow, "Class? What do you mean?"

"You know how those RPG games get you to choose your class?"

"Really? How do I get one?"

"Have you not reached level 10 yet?" Ada tilted her head with a smug look.

Everette's eye twitched at her look, "I have. But I wasn't shown any option about—"

{"Would you like to acquire a class? [YES] or [NO]"}

Everette's mouth then widened into a wry smile. "A bit late, don't you think, Eden?"

Everette sighed before saying yes.

{Classes}

[Warrior]

[Mage]

[Archer]

[Assassin]

[Healer]

[Royal Attendant]

***

'These Classes... They're kinda basic, aren't they?' Everette examined.

'Healer, Archer and Assassin aren't really my style, so I'll leave them out.' Everette then looked towards the other and read their bonuses.

[Warrior] - "Those who choose this Class like the thrill of close combat. Increase STRENGTH and VITALITY by 20%."

[Mage] - "Those who choose this Class like being close to Mana. Increase MANA and WISDOM by 20%."

Everette eyes narrowed, 'The bonuses it gives are also pretty basic.' He then began weighing his choices.

'Currently, warrior seems like the best option, considering I've been dealing with everything through brute strength not just long ago.'

'But because of Mana, I was able to win my fight against Mourn.'

His attention finally landed on the Class [Royal Attendant]

"Royal... Attendant?"

***

[Royal Attendant] - "A class fit for those who will willingly give their life to the one they sworn undying loyalty to. Increase in all stats by 20%.

Class Abilities:

"Pledge" - ["By pledging your undying loyalty to someone, increase all stats by 20%. Any acts seen as betrayal to your master will have severe consequences."]

"Potential Asset" - ["By focusing your attention, you're able to examine its potential."]

"Your Highness" - ["Increase effectiveness in completing a task when linked to your master in some way."]

***

"T-this class is insane!" Everette's eyes widened in shock, 'But why is this Class so different compared to the others? It's by far not basic like Warrior or Mage.'

"Ada, did you have the option of [Royal Attendant] for a class?"

Ada, who was munching on a snack bar, tilted her head.

"Royal Attendant? Nope! Not that I can remember."

"I see. Thanks!"

"No problem!"

Everette then looked down at the panel, 'With the bonuses it's offering, I'd be crazy not to accept!'

{"You have chosen the Class [Royal Attendant]. Are you sure you would like this Class?"}

"Yes!"

Everette's body was then bathed in light. Mana wrapped around his body and penetrated through each of his pores. Everyone in the Chapel immediately focused on Everette's class change.

*Chatter Chatter*

"What's going on?"

"I don't know..."

"That isn't a bomb, is it?"

After a few moments, the light died down to reveal Everette's form.

Everette's eyes fluttered open before taking a look around. His attention focused on Ada.

{"Ding! A target for the Class [Royal Candidate] has been detected!"}

***

{"Name": "Ada Ambrose"}

{"Potential": "A+"}

{"Analysis": "A possessive tomboy with the potential to become a... Great King?"}

{"Would you like to pledge your undying loyalty to this individual?"}
