Chapter 87 - Preparations Complete, The Physical Exams Begin (1/2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a heads up, readers, I'll be using brackets for skills since they will now carry a certain level of importance from this point forward. You'll see what I mean in the first paragraph.

{Eh? Seriously? Interesting.} Cynrik found it hard to complete a singular sentence after hearing the explanation Tobs had given. His mind was already forming a dozen different strange ideas, from flinging blue [Fireballs] to flying by overusing his [Continual Flame] like a certain billionaire playboy philanthropist did.
{Hey Tobs, can you give me an estimate on how much a single point will strengthen my skills?}
-No, figure it out on your own.-
{SASSY, damn Tobs, I need you to let the whole cat ears and tail go, I'm sorry ok. I promise it won't happen again.} Cynrik shook his head in disbelief at her response and paid no mind to how Tobs seemed to be getting more and more ”sentient” as the days went by.
With Cynrik preoccupied with his attempts to pry out free info from their system, Brance was still going through the list of Sub-Classes. The general conclusion he had come to was, ”It's all shit.” Unlike Cynrik, who had already gone through the process of obtaining his prereq skill. Brance had been at a loss for what he wanted to do in the future. He didn't have a fancy toy like Cynrik's Assassins Tool, and if he was being honest with himself, he didn't really have any interest in Non-Combat Classes.
The legitimate only reason he was still going through this never-ending list of classes was the added stat bonus. So Brance aimlessly scrolled through Class after Class, checking each of their prerequisites until he finally stopped on one he had seen earlier.
-Tier-1 Non-Combat Class, Miner-
-Prerequisite = 80 STR, 40 DEX, 40 VIT-
-Stat Enhancement = Maximum of 1 STR
-Passive Skill = Basic Miner: 10% chance to completely replenish Stamina when successfully mining Ore or Mineral.
-Skill List-
- Level 0 : Basic Ore and Mineral Mining-
- Level 0 : Basic Ore and Mineral Detection
- Level 0 : Basic Summon Pickaxe
- Level 5 : Basic Extraction
- Level 10 : Basic Excavate-
- Level 15 : Basic Construct-
- Level 20 : Basic Transmute Ore-
He had found this Class early on but kept passing it by, but with the clock ticking and only a few hours left before Phase: 2 begins, it was time to make a choice. He could either go with the Miner Class or continue leaving his Sub-Class empty until he came up with what he wanted to do in the future. Left with only those two options, Brance turned to Cynrik for his input.
{So, I found a Non-Combat Class that increases my STR, and its prereqs are stat-based without needing any other skill. The only issue is, I'm not so sure it'll be helpful to us.}
{Hm? Show me what you're looking at.}
Brance sent over the listing for the Miner Class, and Cynrik's reaction was out of his expectations. His older brother calmly got up, walked in front of him, leaned forward, and violently flicked him in the forehead.
{ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED, BRANCE? THIS IS AMAZING. SHIT, LOOK AT THAT LAST SKILL. DO YOU EVEN REALIZE HOW VIABLE IT IS TO TRANSMUTE ORES?} Cynrik snapped.
Wearing a frown and feeling wronged, Brance rubbed the small bump formed from Cynrik's flick.
{Considering we are about to jump into an Egress, where it is a well-known fact that you can find all kinds of ore and minerals, this kind of Class is Amazing. Not only do you get to summon a free janky pickaxe at level 0, but you also get a detection skill. Hell, all we need now is a Blacksmith, Runist, and Alchemist, and we could literally make all of our own shit. Think of how much money we would save.}
As Cynrik spoke, he flailed his arms around and paced back and forth.
