Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]-Chapter 647Vol. 11 - - Advance Job Promotion - Shizu

After lingering in the moment for a minute longer, I then shifted my gaze to Shizu.

"Kept you waiting, huh, Shizu. Shall we begin?"

"Yes, please."

Prepared, Shizu stepped forward.

"So, after putting my thoughts, I would recommend «Ruler Maid of the Battleground», one befitting for a guild battle."

It was one the strongest pillar jobs a member of the «Branch» category could acquire. It embodies the concept of "maid at work, reaper at field." Needless to say, it was one of the star jobs in guild battle. It offered pure, warfare strength against parties, and had many tricks under its sleeve like trap master, search, concealment, handicraft, surprise attack and extermination.

In guild battle, this job shines everywhere, whether it is «Castle Siege» format, or «Take Down the Castle». As a reference, the job had many 'Castle Breaker' skills. Frankly, as long as one knew how to play their card, just this job holder alone could bring the whole castle down. With how many times I had used it in game, it's potential was excellent.

"Understood. I had more or less guessed this would be your choice."

"You did? Then I take it you have no objection?!"

"To be frank, I do have some resistance to bearing titles representing sovereignty while ignoring the royalty—Lana-sama—herself. But, I also have a desire to prevent any danger from approaching Lana-sama. I have no objection."

"Relax, it's just a job name, sharing not a single percent of the actual title. In fact, there are plenty of exaggerated job titles that had King, Empire, Divine One, and even God."

Well, the job name was ultimately just fancy wording, not a title with authority. 'Ruler' wouldn't just make her a true ruler. And even if the name bears of the authority at zenith, the job itself was high-ranking mid-tier. The only way it bears any semblance to associate authority is "Ruler equals high-rank."

Hmm? Then wouldn't that make the Princess job stronger than the Ruler? ...Ahem, sometimes, it's better to ignore technicalities.

"But I am glad you chose it. Here, «Ice Crystal»."

"...Why Ice?"

"The meaning is lost in me, too."

Just like Karua, High-ranking mid-tier jobs demand «Crystal» category items. There was no explanation why it had to be Ice for Shizu. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The mainline theory among the players of «Dungeon Activity» was the 'cold' touch you would expect from Realm of the Dead. Technically, the borrowed word in Ruler Maid meant Hades, just that the two were pronounced the same way in their original language. Anyway, it was just a theory at best. It's not like whoever decided on it just might have an infatuation with the cold maid troupe.

"I see. I accept."

"Here you go."

Shizu's eyes widened when she took «Ice Crystal» in her hand.

"Despite the name, it isn't cold to touch at all."

"I know, right? I was surprised, too, when I first found this out. But then I thought, if it had truly been what the name implies, then who could've touched «Fire Crystal» saving some exception, maybe."

"Hmm..."

The only semblance was the blue hue of crystal. I had thought it would be cold to touch, but it was just a normal stone. It was just as I explained in «Ice Crystal». It would've been a disaster to handle «Fire Crystal», and even a bigger headache would've been to safely store it.

"In that case, I will start. . —Haa. Is this all, or any more?"

"Straight to action, eh? Use SP to upgrade «Cover-Up» to level 5."

"...Understood."

Shizu just had 4 SP. Incidentally, there was also the option to unlock «Victorian Head Maid» if she spent those SP to upgrade «Tea Maker». The temptation was strong, but I must focus on my mission.

«Cover-Up» was an assistance skill. It was also quite an important skill, so I had planned to upgrade it to level 10 eventually.

"Done."

"Great, it should be available now. Now, touch the «Crystal Dragon»."

"Yes. .......Ah, here it is. I see. I have witnessed the power of Brave..."

Haha, yes. It is indeed the strength of Brave... just kidding. It was by the effort of every «Dungeon Player»'s player. The crystallised fruit of their labour.

Oh, now that I recall back, Shizu already had «Battle Maid» when she first came, without my intervention.

"......I see an option for «Head Maid». Are you sure this isn't it?"

"«Head Maid» primary style is assassin. Also, it is just mid-ranking job. If you want to triumph guild battles, «Ruler Maid of the Battleground» is your only choice. Even if you can ignore the class difference, the two just jobs play out differently."

"This is insightful.:

After nodding to my explanation, Shizu touched the statue, and a job list appeared. There was quite a look of contemplation on her face, but eventually, she steeled her resolve.

"—«Ruler Maid of the Battleground»."

Immediately, the other job option blacked out, disappearing beneath the black screen, leaving only «Ruler Maid of the Battleground».

The procedure was complete. It wasn't a special job, so no special effects. A pity.

"Congratulations, Shizu."

"With your entrance, guild battles sound quite easy. Congratulations on your advancement."

"Congratulations, Shizu-san!"

"Everyone... thank you very much."

We all applauded at her advancement, sharing congratulatory remarks. Shizu performed a curtsey bow.

Now, saving Nico, we had used every «Advanced Job Ascension Ticket».

Alright, let's bring Nico for further adventure. We can't just rest yet.

Meanwhile, in a distant place, under the clear sky. Nico suddenly felt a chill creeping up to her.
