"Eh?" Zack and all those present were surprised.
Not only did Zack just get a magic class like his partner, but it was also the normal version of the class.
When the archmage explained Austin's class he also gave a brief explanation of the mage class.
The mage class is the most basic of the magic classes; like any normal tier 1 classes, it is the origin of all the others.
Any class whose main function is the use of magical powers has its origin in the mage class. And like all other classes, getting a magic class doesn't mean you know how to use magic. Just like someone who gets the swordsman class doesn't know how to use a sword. Be it a magic class, or any other class, rigorous training is necessary to bring out the full potential one possesses.
That's it, potential.
Normally everyone starts with a tier 1 class. The class one has reflects the potential that person possesses.
Anyone can wield a sword, but only a person with the swordsman class (or higher tier of the same branch) can use it to its full potential. Likewise, magical classes are the only ones that can sense and use mana to perform magic. Other classes won't be able to use magic even if you try for years. There are exceptions of course, but that's a minority.
Seeing Zack's class, the fire mage instantly perked up.
Even if it took him five years to rank up, at least he was much better than the people who had obtained a tier 1 class, with a little effort he would soon catch up with his other classmates.
"Ohhh" said the old man surprised. "A title. You don't see much of these"
“Title?”
The robed old man did not change his expression upon seeing the previous class, unlike the nobles, he was not really interested in heroes. He had only offered to finish the ceremony to see if there were any surprises.
Apparently, he had not been in vain.
“A title is the representation of an achievement that few people can achieve. Don't be fooled by the seemingly insulting description of him, all titles carry benefits that will help their bearer.
For example, the title 'Combat Maniac' helps maintain the optimal state to fight even if you are seriously injured and increases combat efficiency.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Anyone can get a title, they are rare, but they are nothing that has not been seen” said the archmage while looking carefully at Zack.
Titles are not easy to come by. As a magician and leader of the magic council, he has some titles. It is precisely for this reason that he knows how difficult they are to acquire, they are symbols of prestige among people. Otherwise, anyone would have a title.
The title that Zack has, the archmage has it too, that's why he was so surprised.
(If I'm not mistaken, the requirement to acquire this title was to read a thousand books, how is it possible for someone so young to have it?)
Books are not easy to come by, each of them is precious and their owners will not share them easily. Even if one had a simple way to acquire books, reading such a quantity is not something a person could do at Zack's age.
(Has he spent his life reading books?) the archmage thought.
The old man looked at his class and thought that he really was qualified for it.
A mage requires a lot of knowledge before even casting his first spell.
As he had already explained before, merely possessing the mage class does not mean that the person in question knows how to use, even the simplest of spells.
Anyone who cannot stand hours and hours memorizing knowledge is not qualified to be a true magician.
"How do you know what a title does?" Zack asked, snapping the archmage out of his thoughts.
“Just focus on the title and you will know” Zack did that, he focused on the title and something else appeared other than the status screen.
Bookworm
Title is obtained by those who value knowledge and enjoy collecting it.
It will be easier to read books
It will be easier to understand the essence of the books you have read
You will not forget the books you have read
Seeing this title again, the archmage recalls his younger days locked away in his family's library while his brothers were away training with the sword or doing things not befitting a noble.
His family was a noble family that had produced many generals who supported the conquests of the kingdom and the fight on the border with the demons.
Everyone hoped that his brothers would go into the army, gain merit, and regain the glory that his family name once had.
In the end, the glory returned to his house, but it was not due to his brothers. It was the young man who locked himself in his room reading at night by candlelight until the sun came up who made his family important again.
However, at that moment his family had lost importance, and the search for the magical path had become the only important thing for him to achieve.
It is undeniable that the title in Zack´s possession has reminded him of himself as a young man.
Suddenly the archmage sighed.
No matter how qualified one was, a tier 1 class was just that. Even if he survives the war his destiny will be to reach tier 2 at most.
(I don't think the king will send them directly to fight, but the time he will give you certainly won't be enough for you to upgrade his class, not even the fire mage)
The old man felt sorry for these two young magic users, but there was nothing he could do.
The archmage looked away from Zack and focused on the last person who didn't have a class yet.
Seeing where the archmage was looking, the rest of the people in the room turned their gazes on him.
Ronald hadn't said anything since he was summoned, he just looked around him blankly. He was evidently recording the archmage´s information, or perhaps he was still in shock over what had happened.
"How long are you going to watch?" asked the old man, somewhat annoyed at making him wait.
"Eh. What?" Ronald said startled.
“Come here,” the archmage ordered, “Unless you're not interested in knowing your class"
Ronald suddenly moved.
He approached the crystal ball and waited for the ball to shine as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Zack was thinking about something the archmage said.
(He said that the crystal ball lets us know what our class is. That means we already had our classes before touching the ball. Did we have our classes before we came to this world? No, otherwise we would have classes related to what we do on a day-to-day basis. So that means that we have received our classes when we have been summoned. How? And based on what criteria?)
Countless questions filled Zack's mind and yet he seemed the only one worried about getting answers.
"Status" Ronald's voice woke Zack up again and he focused on the class he had gotten.

“A tier 2 class” Hearing the archmage, Ronald sighed in relief“
"The Smith class is a tier 2 class somewhat different from the other crafting classes.
Unlike other classes like blacksmith or whitesmith, the class allows you to do everything that these classes could do.
It is an inclusive class for everything related to smithing. In a way, it's like the direct advancement of the craftsman class. It's a rare class" Ronald breathed another sigh of relief.
Not only was his class a tier 2 class, but since it wasn't a combat class, he most likely wouldn't have to fight.
“Since we're all here, let's go to the banquet,” said the archmage as he handed the orb to one of the guards.
Without further delay, the archmage walked towards the others who had been left behind and he still asked to hear from where he was.
Watching the Archmage's back, Zack had a gloomy look on his face.
Ronald will be relieved but the worries of Zack and the others who have tier 1 classes have just started.
