45 Hidden Classes (1/2)

When Raymond was about to leave and return to the Guild Space, the system spoke to him.

'Hey, Host, you shouldn't deny that lady from joining. Her initial strength is beyond the others we have seen in this world. Based on the fight you just had, without any buffs, you would only be slightly stronger than her. Well, that is, if she gets serious.'

When Raymond heard what the system said he was surprised. Unlike the Oni, Raymond didn't feel threatened by Clarise, also unlike the Oni, she was good to look at which might have made him feel less scared. Still, the system had appraised that Clarise was near his strength if he had no buffs. The strength he has currently was beyond that of a normal level 41 since the task rewards he gave him additional attribute points.

'So does that mean she would jump to level 41 if she becomes a guild member?'

'No that won't happen. Instead, her strength will decrease a bit, but her potential will increase as I am a mighty system that can grant her near-infinite growth.' Raymond could somehow feel that the system was slowly sounding a bit more human, and that's not only because its voice was sounding less robotic now.

'Even with that, I wouldn't want her in my guild since it still feels too troublesome.'

'If she was only going to be a strong guild member, I wouldn't bother with the host's decision. But she has the possibility to unlock a hidden class. The more classes there are the more skills the host can gain and the stronger the host will be, which in turn would make the guild stronger.'

When Raymond heard what the system had to say he started to hesitate and was now conflicted. He really wanted to see what kind of hidden class Clarise could get, but he was still troubled by the usual cliches of brocons that he has seen and read.

As Raymond was talking to the System the three who were stunned by the rejection finally reacted. They all looked at Raymond who suddenly stopped moving. Lux and Daniel didn't find this strange as Raymond has done this kind of thing multiple times. Clarise, on the other hand, thought that Raymond was feeling bad for rejecting her.

The three waited for Raymond to do something. After a rather long time contemplating, Raymond sighed heavily. He looked at Clarise who seem to be eagerly waiting for him to change his mind. When he saw how cute Clarise looked at this moment Raymond felt that maybe it was alright even if she is a brocon... Truly everything about her was mostly positive but the brocon thing just makes it a little bit harder to like her. Raymond once again sighed heavily.

”Fine, I will allow you to join.” Hearing Raymond changed his mind, Clarise gave Raymond a knight salute.

”Thank you.” Raymond looked at the eager Clarise who still looked dignified but at the same time cute. 'Damn it, if only this girl wasn't a brocon.'

”Alright then, pledge your allegiance to me and proclaim me as your Guild Master.”

”As you wish...” After Clarise responded she went silent for a few seconds.

”What's the problem, are you having second thoughts?”

”No, it's just that I don't think I got your name.”

”Oh, right, sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I am called Raymond.” When Clarise heard his name she knelt on one knee and spoke.
