Adventurer of Many Professions-Chapter 80: Becoming Famous!

As Raymond walked out of the weapon shop, his mind was buzzing with thoughts of how to get close to President Beno and learn the coveted "enchantment" skill. The temptation was too great; each enchantment costing dozens of gold coins was a steep price, but the potential benefits were undeniable.

"Still," Raymond thought, "only President Beno knows this skill in all of Wittes. It must be incredibly difficult to master, and probably costs a ton of skill points to learn."

It was then that he noticed Arya standing still, looking off into the distance with a slightly sour expression.

"What’s wrong?" he asked, concerned.

Arya crossed her arms, looking at him with a mix of envy and frustration. "I just feel like, now that your dual-class identity is out, you’ve become really popular... I’m sure a lot of female adventurers are going to want to team up with you in the future."

Clearly, Arya was still annoyed by the attention Raymond had gotten from the female warrior earlier.

Raymond thought for a moment, then gave her a sly smile. "Actually, it’s more the male adventurers who want to team up with me."

Arya couldn’t help but laugh at his answer.

"But it’s not that simple to join our team," Raymond continued with a grin. "We’re all geniuses, after all."

Arya raised an eyebrow. "Really? So if I awaken and I’m not a genius, I can’t join?"

"How could that be?" Raymond responded. "Of course, you can join."

"Really?" Arya asked again, her eyes lighting up with hope.

"Of course," Raymond said seriously. "I’m the captain, so I have the final say."

At that, Arya’s mood brightened, and a smile spread across her face. She was excited to turn fifteen soon, but at the same time, she worried about whether she would awaken and become a professional. After all, less than one percent of people managed to awaken their abilities.

The next few days passed with Raymond and Arya spending their time at the library, devouring books on skills and abilities. By the end of the week, they had gone through all the skill books available to them.

Yet, as they reached the final pages, they were left with a lingering sense of frustration. The author had noted that there were many missing skills; ones so rare and difficult to comprehend that either their users kept them secret, or they didn’t share them at all. Only those who had unlocked these abilities truly knew about them.

"Figures," Raymond mused. "A lot of awakened people don’t want others to know about their skills."

It made perfect sense to him. If someone knew about your unique abilities, they could easily become envious and that jealousy could lead to dangerous situations. The Adventurer’s Guild understood this, too. Raymond remembered his first report to the guild auditor, Bernard, who had told him that if he didn’t want to reveal his skills, he could simply say, "I killed the monster using a skill."

Raymond had intentionally chosen to say "taunting" to draw attention to his dual-class identity. But, from the conversations he overheard in the last few days, it seemed Bernard hadn’t spilled the beans about his skills. It was a small relief.

Sure enough, even though the guild knew about the adventurers’ skills, they would never easily share them. After all, the Adventurer’s Guild understood its members better than anyone else; they knew the kind of people adventurers were.

After finishing the skill book, Raymond moved on to other readings about monsters and various other topics.

In the days that followed, news of his dual-class identity had spread throughout the adventurer community. It seemed that everyone was talking about it, and Raymond often overheard conversations on the streets. Luckily, not many adventurers had actually seen him in person. Most of their attention had been on Sylph, so no one recognized Raymond. This allowed him and Arya to continue their daily trips to the temple library without any issues.

That is, until the fifth day.

On this particular day, Raymond suited up in all his gear and prepared to head out. He and Sylph, along with Lorene, had agreed to meet up and accept new commissions, as well as change their adventurer level nameplates.

"Raymond, remember to be careful out there!" Arya warned, her concern clear as she gave him one last reminder.

"I will," Raymond nodded reassuringly.

After making sure he had all his equipment, he grabbed his backpack and waved goodbye to Arya.

For some reason, each time he left to accept a commission, Raymond couldn’t shake the odd feeling that it was like a husband going on an adventure while his wife waited at home for his safe return.

Shaking the thought from his mind, Raymond headed toward Lanbaiyun Street.

When he arrived, he didn’t need to search for his companions. All he had to do was follow the curious glances of the adventurers around him. At the street intersection, two figures stood out; Sylph in her magic robe and Lorene in her priestess uniform.

While the general public might not have recognized Raymond or Lorene, any adventurer would easily spot Sylph, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed explosion magician carrying her signature metal magic staff.

As Raymond approached, he noticed a crowd of adventurers talking among themselves, but it wasn’t Sylph and Lorene who were the center of attention, it was someone else entirely.

"They’re the Explosion Mage and the Priest who teamed up with the dual-class player. I didn’t know they lived on Bailanyun Street."

"Yeah, but where’s Raymond? Doesn’t he live here too?" one adventurer asked, confused.

"I don’t know," another replied, "But I’m really envious of them. I mean, they get to team up with a dual-class player. That’s incredible! And one’s an explosion mage while the other’s a priest; that’s a solid combo."

"True, but it’s not just that Raymond’s a dual-class adventurer. The big deal is his talent! Not only did he awaken two professions, but the real kicker is that he’s already unlocked skills in both of them!"

"Exactly. It’s only been a few days since he awakened as a warrior, and he’s already mastered warrior skills! Can you believe that talent?" another adventurer marveled.

Raymond overheard them, a slight grin forming as he realized just how much his reputation had grown in such a short time.

As whispers filled the air, Raymond couldn’t help but notice that, despite being the focus of everyone’s attention, Sylph and Lorene weren’t the least bit upset. In fact, they seemed to be enjoying the spotlight, even if they were just supporting characters in the ongoing conversation.

They had already heard the news about Raymond’s dual-class status, and it made them both proud.

Sylph, with a slight smirk on her face, raised her chin a little. ’So, you all looked down on Raymond before?’ she thought with satisfaction. ’Now you see just how impressive he really is!’

Meanwhile, Lorene felt a bit embarrassed as all the eyes in the street turned toward them, but instead of hiding, she straightened up. She knew she’d have to get used to this. Ever since teaming up with Sylph and Raymond, attention had been following them everywhere.

"Raymond!" Sylph suddenly called out, spotting him walking toward them.

Lorene followed Sylph’s gaze and saw Raymond approaching, dressed in leather armor, a sword strapped to his back, and a backpack slung over his shoulder. A smile spread across her face as joy bubbled up inside her.

When the nearby adventurers heard Sylph’s shout, they turned to look at Raymond.

"That’s him?" one sharp-eyed archer said, squinting at Raymond’s nameplate. "Yep, that’s Raymond, the fighter with the long sword."

"It really is him!" another adventurer confirmed.

All eyes were now fixed on Raymond, following his every move, as if trying to burn his image into their minds. Raymond, however, was no stranger to being the center of attention. He simply waved to Sylph and Lorene with a smile.

When he reached them, he said, "Let’s head to the guild."

"Sure!" both Sylph and Lorene agreed eagerly.

Ignoring the stares and murmurs around them, the three of them walked confidently toward the Adventurer’s Guild, their presence leaving a trail of whispered awe in their wake. Every adventurer they passed couldn’t help but glance at them, clearly fascinated by the trio.
