After the corner Ben will be Facing off against the dungeon monster. A oversized ant, a swarm monster, but the dungeon is just spawning them all alone.
I guess it’s only normal that Ben is going first. His father is captain of the guards and even if it costs him a lot of bruises, he is growing just as strong.
> I want to be a knight, just like father
Says Ben as he walks up with a sword and a shield.
Even if I’m ready for it, I can barely see it. He slams his shield into the mandibles and while the ant is chewing on his shield he sticks his sword multiple times in the ants head.
Now that I know what to expect, even if it looks like he is dominating the ant,I can see that he keeps stabbing the plate and is not really doing any damage.
Just when the ant gets through the shield, Ben shifts his shield and all his weight sits on the blade that slides in the neck of the ant. The very blade that is killing it is locking it into place, keeping it from attacking Ben.
This time I can hear he teacher clearly whisper [guide] though. I guess that’s why he only gets [apprentice squire] and not knight.
Everyone of us loves it when an exercise just ‘clicks’ and it becomes easy. But the system takes back a price for that help. Nobody ever got any skill progress with [guide]
> Your father trained you well Ben, don’t worry
> You can still become a knight, it will just takes a bit longer

Most of the others were less skill full. Still, with Ben’s new class, a large stick and the teacher cursing [guide] they each got their class unlocked.
Not the best, but at least an ant would no longer be dangerous to us.
> I want to be a fire mage
Amelia is the last one before me. She is just cheating though. Her family is truly in a different class.
Given that the teacher is asking everyone to stand back, he clearly knew what would happen.
This place has 3 ants, and 1 of them is a lot bigger. It even kept burning for a while after she thew that potion.
The 2 normal ants burned to a crisp in a second. The big one came limping to her looking utterly terrifying with its molten face
She panicked and still needed the teacher’s [guide]! to calm down and face the burning Dungeon boss instead of running away from it though
She did not get her desired fire mage class, but still seemed capable of throwing a small yellow fire on after that.

Only David left, if his parents were here, they could have given him the gear and training to unlock a great class.
David, come here, it’s your turn now. Look David, I think I know why you seem so terrified today
Your parents cannot be here to guide you with your class unlock and you are probably afraid to unlock one of the unsavoury classes. Let me help you, what classes can you choose from?
“I can’t access my classes yet teach. I must have skipped one of your lessons”
Oh David, we really can’t wait … you might not like to study , but you are really skilled, just like your parents.
ranger Tim says he can sometimes find your tracks when you skip my lessons
Think of wat ranger Tim does and use this bow and short-sword , I will guide you
As your parents could not help you, you will fight the baby ant in that chamber over there
You can still ask your parents to help later.
----------------------------------------
So that’s how I’m walking away from the group, with weapons for a class unlock that I will not get anyway
The miller is walking towards the 2nd floor of the dungeon. Shifty basterd
My classmates are holding their breath while they watch me.
And teach is watching me with sad eyes
These are my last minutes as a human.
