Micky looked over the girls. “Alright, I want a show of hands who is over ten years of age.” Micky said. The girls looked on in confusion but four hands went up. The two elvish girls and the wolf girls made up three. And the last one was surprisingly the shy girl that Terra was still hesitantly hiding behind.
Noticing that Micky was looking at them to make sure Marry spoke up “Terra is nine and one half, she still isn’t ten yet.” Micky nodded his head.
Technically they did not need to be ten to have their classes divined but it was the standard procedure. Micky, Mrs. Doderson and Princess knew exactly what each other was thinking with one look at each others’ eyes. Micky asked “Mrs. Doderson, do you happen to know the ritual for the town? My village just rounded everybody that was of age into the village center and held it there, but that might get a little crowded here.”
“No trouble at all young master. The nobles tend to have a quiet ceremony in their own homes, of which you qualify for, while the commoners have their’s in the town square every season. So we could have a small one right here if you’d like?” Said Mrs. Doderson.
Micky nodded his head “And when you’re done if you could gather up some grub and ask a few people if they would like to come that would be wonderful. It should be a celebration after all!” Said Micky. He didn’t want to advertise that he was nobility, at least in status if not in name, but not having a celebration would be terrible. He also did not want to do these little girls an injustice and keep it small. No, this was something to be celebrated. Though he didn’t invite any friends they might have had. He understood that this may cause some trouble if they found out that their friends had suddenly found them living on the other side of the road.
“Now then, all of you, come with me.” Said Micky. He brought them into the main dining area. This was going to be bright.
“Alright you four, I want you to say these words with me, give them intention and put as much force as you can behind them ok?” Said Micky, this received four head nods, and two looks of confusion.
“Main menu,”

“Now say ‘Login’ Enter anything as a password or nothing, it doesn’t matter. The password section and login section is an evil god’s joke. That being said even the ‘Help’ section has been blocked by this evil god so don’t bother with that either.” Said Micky.
“After you have logged in, pick the divine class option that appears and then allow your class to be divined. I apologize, if you do not like your choice, I can not afford to give you re-rolls or extra options, for that I am sorry.” Said Micky.
Prin and Mrs. Doderson had a little bit of sadness in their eyes when he said that. They knew of what he was going throw himself. “Don’t apologize for that my lord, it is your servants job to assist you, and we are still quite lacking.” Said Mrs. Doderson, his only servant.
“Yes, I.. I understand. Now girls, lets see what you get!” Micky said with more enthusiasm then before.
Then four bright lights went off at a staggered but almost simultaneous time. The light was immensely bright and soon enough it dissipated. Of course once it did, his neighbor came over to complain at him not to experiment with spells in the house next door to theirs. Micky laughed and said that he had four little girls perform their divination at the same time. The neighbor clapped his shoulder and gave Micky a knowing but complicated smile, looking between him and Prin he had said that he didn’t know the two had even had children together. Micky and Prin were left spluttering, and hadn’t even responded before the woman left them to their own devices.

“What was that about?” asked one of the little girls.
“Nothing, it was about nothing.” Said Micky. The little girls didn’t think it was about nothing, but a pointed look from Mrs. Doderson made sure that they didn’t ask.
“Well, what are you all standing around for! It’s time to see what your classes are!” Said Micky in a much more chipper tone.
Jezebel went first stating “I’m a [Secretary] and my first ability is [Draft]!”
Secretary: A class of the political branch of the scholar class tree. The secretary excels in assisting their master in all ways and helping them to perform at their peak at all times.
Draft: Wield a writing utensil for creation through destruction. Increase the speed at which you use a writing utensil.
“And I have gotten Penmanship, Chisel, and Dagger mastery skills!” Said Jezebel excitedly. This was actually the most excited that the little girl had been since Micky had seen her. He hesitantly reached his hand out and rubbed her head. This seemed to bring her into a catatonic state of contentment until the next girl went.
BrightFur stated “I… I’ve become a [Beastial Shaman]. I gained… the [Beastial Language] and [Call Companion] skills...” She said haltingly and hesitantly.
Beastial shaman: A shaman class focused on beasts and nature. They gain a bonus to all things beast, and nature magic. In addition they may use [Polymorph] and [Transformation] skills
Beastial Language: You may now speak with animals as if their language is your own.
Call Companion: You may now call upon a companion you have [Bonded] with or entered into a [Pact] should you require their assistance. At higher proficiency levels this counts as a teleportation and dimensional teleportation inherent skill.
This was a good class. Micky couldn’t wait to see what she became. Though he had to admit, the ‘Beastial’ part seemed to be a racism thing. He knew that in beastman with animal heritage they tended to have their classes transformed into things with beast natures.
With everyone staring at the last two slowcomers Marry finally couldn’t take it and spoke up. She said “I’m a [Witch]!” As fast as she could, and then tried to run away crying. Micky quickly disappeared from where he had been giving the two other girls headpats and swept her up into a hug.
Witch: A powerful master of [Curse] and dark magic. Witches are sorcerer that should never be crossed, let alone double crossed. They can make those that wish harm upon them pay! They have an increased proficiency in curse and alchemy. May learn nature magic and bond with one familiar.
He then picked her up and turned to the last girl like none of this ever happened.
Abigale then went last and stated “I’m a [Courtesan] and my first skills are [Sense Intent], [Master’s Plan], and [Designate Master].”
Courtesan: Those that serve their master. They are a branch of the seduction class greater tree. The Courtesan is a great boon to their master’s plan and a terrible tool of their enemy’s destruction.
Sense Intent: Sense the intent of your master and those around you. A skill for social maneuvering.
Master’s Plan: A skill to identify your master’s plan and carry it out accordingly and efficiently. The better the affinity you have with your master, the more of an improvement you will have.
Designate Master: Designate your master. Be careful, there will be penalties should you use this skill too often and too easily.
As for the reason she was blushing, it was because Micky was currently looking down upon her with a fatherly affection. And she could feel his hesitant love for her and the rest of the girls on her like the warmth of the sun. She didn’t hesitate one moment and quickly designated Micky as her master. She had no illusions that she would have another choice. Though, she technically did, she was also aware how stupid it would be should she do so. Micky had purchased them to staff for him. And also, to get them out of that orphanage, though he had probably doomed several more children to it by purchasing her and her sister.
She walked up to Micky and gave him a hug. This caused Micky to be buried in an avalanch of hugs as even Prin and Squishy got in on the action, though a smiling Mrs. Doderson did not.
Micky on the other hand, just received an interesting notification.
Abigale Nightshadow has designated you as her master. Do you accept? Y/N
Micky quickly accepted it, though he felt a little odd about it for some reason. He looked at his retinue section.

Micky sighed, he really needed to get more people. Maybe he should start talking to the people in class… So much work...
