CHAPTER 4 – GETTING SKILLS
----------------------------------------
[/hr]
Bunny decided to totally exploit her benefits, but it would require extensive planing.
Being without a class, she could at most gain 10 skills, and of these limited amount, it must include one or more offensive ones. At minimum, she would need a Weapon Mastery or a Spell to level up.
'Arrggg... those bard songs with 'Harp Playing' took up 3 skills, only 7 left, I can't stay classless'
Pacing around while thinking, a habit Alan displayed, Bunny suddenly felt something akin to 'Stepping on a Lego brick'. The pain wasn't there but the psychological effects cause her to jump two steps backwards, knocking down several passerby. Ignoring the commotion she caused, Bunny bend forward and found the culprit: a piece of charcoal. Thinking it as divine intervention, Bunny took the charcoal piece and went to a nearby 'White board' she knew of, oblivious to the surrounding.
“What a rude girl! Is she crazy?”
“Crazy or not, I don't mind a cute girl purposely bumping into me... heh”
“She went forward and pick something up”
“Is it gold? Did she find money?”
“That's possible but doesn't explain why she jumped backwards”
When people are bored, especially those who are confined, anything remotely exciting would pique their interest. The people Bunny disrupted, cautiously followed her at a safe distance. This led to more people joining in the crowd not knowing why.
Bunny lead her entourage to a nearby building, the side of the building to be precise, an she started writing with her charcoal on the white flat wall. She first wrote the word 'Warrior', cocked her head sidewards thinking, strike it out and replaced with 'Knight'. From there, she drew a few lines outwards, with words like 'Blacksmith', 'Sword Mastery', 'Shield Mastery', 'Horse riding'... etc
*****
Bunny was drawing out her thoughts, using the class Knight she was familiar with, she started drawing lines to skills a Knight would benefit from. From the each skill, more lines were drawn to others skills which would help, Blacksmith would extend to Enchanting and Mining, while horse-riding would point towards Animal Breeding and Saddle making. When she was done, a web of information about the Knight Class was presented.
Continue on, she made webs of Warriors, Gladiators, Archer, Ranger, Thief, Cleric, Mages and any other classes she could think of. Somewhere along, when her charcoal was diminished, someone would hand her another piece, which she unconsciously took and continued with her work.
When she almost filled up the entire wall, Bunny wrote down at the side, two skills all classes would relate to, and circled them to signify importance: 'Identify' and 'Repair'. Taking a step backwards to see her work, she absently dropped the almost depleted charcoal she was holding.
When an old man passed her another charcoal piece, Bunny turned to his direction and her jaw dropped.
“Ahh!!! Mr. Draco!!” she screamed.
“Is that reaction necessary?” the old man chuckled holding onto her hand before she could flee
“I... I just never expect the master of Intelligence Guild to be here.” Bunny muttered
“Why would that be? Ain't you defacing the wall of my guild?” Draco replied smiling evilly
“Eh?” Bunny glanced around to find truth in Draco's words. “I am sorry, I will clean it up immediately”
“I would prefer if you don't,” Draco said. “There are too many people here, why don't we continue our chat inside the guild”
Before leading Bunny away, Draco erected a barrier to prevent the drawing from being damaged.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Intelligence guild wasn't a place to learn Magic or Int-Related skills. It simply gave counsel to users for choosing a class, depending on their stats and skills. Draco, the guild master was a friendly old man, who seemed kind to everyone. However, getting on his wrong side meant trouble, since Draco had been known to talk blisters into wrong doers.
The last straw causing Loki's deletion was also Draco. After being caught red-handed, Loki was given a 3 hours of lecturing with another 4 hours sermon about kindness after Loki logout and returned. This created an innate fear in Bunny for Draco.
Within the guild, Draco started without preamble.
“So, what are you going to do with the graffiti?” He asked solemnly.
“I will remove them.” Bunny panicked. “I will go wipe them off immediately.”
“Hohoho... I don't think so...” Draco chuckled, dropping his solemn guise, “Pardon me, it has been awhile since something interesting happened, so I can't help teasing you.”
Seeing Bunny totally confused, Draco continued:
“That diagram you drew outside, benefits us of the Intelligence guild, I invited you in here to reward you. If I am not mistaken, do you want to learn to identify items and repair things?”
Bunny just nodded blankly
*Ding
You have learned Item Identification
You have learned Repair
You have earned the title ‘The Knowledgeable.’
Fame has increased by 100.
Intelligence has increased by 10
Wisdom has increased by 10
When talking to Natives, they will provide you with more information
Conflicted emotions, while happy with her luck at getting both 'Identify' and 'Repair' as well as a title and some fame, yet fearing Draco immensely. Bunny briefly gave thanks before fleeing from the unexpected situation. By now, outside the intelligence guild was swarming with players curious about both the wall diagrams as well as the creator.
*****
Unknown to Bunny, someone put up a video of her drawing up the class charts, as well as images for each individual class.
- Wow, this is more useful then the RR website
- How did she know all these stuffs
- Is the sound volume faulty? It felt like she is giving a lecture without the sound.
- These are totally worth plagiarizing.
- Isn't she a beginner, look at her outfit
- I started in Serabourg, that man handing her the charcoal is the Intelligence Guild Master
- Who is she?
On the web, people started calling her "Cute Professor"
For better or worse, Bunny attained more Fame then she dreamed of.
