Alion was already talking to Freya and Sid. When Tobi reached them Alion was telling them about grades of skills and classes. According to him the highest grade they have discovered was 3rd class rare although there was a mention of higher grades in system manual. Then everyone else joined them and Anmol asked, “What is the point of class grade if you can only get ten stats from each?”. “we are not sure but in most cases a class with high grade results in better skills” said Alion.
“Oh, then I know what class I am going to choose” said Tobi. “I advise all of you to sit down before choosing your class because sometime you feel dizzy after choosing your class.” advised Alion. “I think we should first tell each other about our choices.” said Freya to which everyone nodded.
First Tobi told everyone about his choice followed by Freya with a class called Light Mage which was 1st class rare grade with high light and fire affinity. Sid has decided on Strange biologist a 3rd class rare grade. Anmol had gone with common rogue class while Felix had a class named watcher which allowed him to cast and see through illusions with his eyes, its grade was 2nd class rare. Emma was also offered same class but she decided on water mage an uncommon class. Deepraj chose a 2rd class rare class called Velocity warrior.
They then asked Alion about his class which as archaic teacher which apart from allowing him to do basic magic and helping speed up the process when teaching anything related to magic. According to his class if enough time is invested even skills can de taught along with spells.
With that everyone split-up Tobi went to a tree and sat under it. He closed his eyes and focused on class selection on his screen. Then his eyes went blank and power started surging through him. He could feel something changing within him.
Then his vision returned and he could few notifications in front of him.
Class selected - Shaper
New skill unlocked - Inspect
New skill unlocked – Microscopic Manipulation
Class skill unlocked - Shaping
He focused on the skills and their description popped up in his sight.

Microscopic Manipulation – Allows to change a non-living structure at microscopic level. At low level only physical properties can be changed.

Then he pulled up his status screen to look at the changes.

Tobi was very satisfied with his skills and decided to try them for now. He picked a rock on the ground and used inspect on it. Some basic information showed up.
Rock – Basic rock with no magical properties.
Then he used shaping on the rock and made it into a flat spike and gave it an edge. Checking his M.P. which was down by two he used microscopic manipulation and he could feel molecular structure of the rock, he knew he could move it or break it and he decided to compress it and soon he felt a headache and the skill stopped.
He checked his status and his M.P. was nearly zero. Then, he sat down and decided to meditate after awhile he opened his eyes and decided to go to everyone and then his eyes fell on the spike, he used his skill on. It was shorter and looked a bit darker. He picked it up and used inspect again.
Rock Spike –A spike made out of reinforced rock.
Tobi pocketed the spike and went back to Alion to tell him about his class skills he also said, “If you could get me some raw materials I an make some temporary shelter.”. “actually, I wanted to talk to you about that, Deepraj told me that you were an architect so can you draft a plan for a temporary city and another one for a big one we are expecting at least 500000 people in next decade from earth.” said Alion.
“I think we should make a plan for a temporary city and leave the permanent for later as we do not know how we will develop due to magic and then we can integrate everything and build in it. To be honest I dint want to half-ass a city if I am given an opportunity to build one.” said Tobi.
Alion agreed to this and told Tobi that all of his friends were at east end of the camp. Tobi went to them and they started talking first about their classes and then about their plans. Food was served soon; it was a stew from local wildlife with some fruit that tasted somewhat between honey and chocolate. Then everyone went to their tents. Tobi wanted to start planning for temporary settlement but he didn’t had supplies.
He went outside and placed his hand in a large boulder and started flattening it and making plans in it with his shaping skills. Soon his mana was to low for him to continue and he went back to his tent and fell asleep.
