CHOOSING A CLASS
AT four in the afternoon, the Luo brothers logged in back to Arcadia. Because of his tutorial lessons, this had always been the logged in time of Luo Yan. He never thought of stopping his tutorial lessons just so he could play Arcadia early in the day.
He already gained a lot during these more than half a month of tutoring lessons. There's only a month left before the start of the new school year, it's important that he refreshed his academic knowledge. Although he already learned these things years ago, it didn't mean that all of it were perfectly restored in his mind. So these tutoring lessons were truly benificial to him. If he went back to school, then he should at least make sure that he wouldn't make elementary mistakes just because he forgot one thing or two. It's better if he could get good grades.
Luo Yan glanced down at his younger brother. Until now, he still couldn't get over his cuteness. His older brother told him to take more pictures and send it to him. Videos were even better. If Luo Ren was not busy with work, he would probably not hesitate to play with them.
"Ah Jin, you didn't play earlier?" he asked.
Luo Jin shook his head. "Since we're now both going to apply for a class, it's better to go together."
They were now walking towards the Class Bureau. It's the place a player should go to if they wanted to apply for a class.
"Have you already decided the class that you wanted?" Luo Yan asked.
In Arcadia, in addition to the two special classes - Alchemist and Blacksmith, there were eight other classes that a player could chose from. When he played, there were only five basic classes. But with the transition to VR, the classes expanded, making it more diversed. With this addition, players had more choices.
The eight classes could divided as follows;
Swordsman, as the name implied, mostly used swords as weapon. Their skills were centered around strength and physical combat. They could sometimes act as a tank in a group but usually at the cost of agility or range. They're the class that was most balance in terms of Basic Stats.
Berserkers were offensive juggernauts with unusually high HP. Because of that, they could take damage pretty well. In terms of the role of a tank, they were the perfect choice. Although their agility was definitely the lowest in comparison with the other classes.
Archers and Guslingers could be grouped as one, the only difference between the two was the weapon of choice. Archers used bow and arrows while Gunslingers used guns. They both had range attacks. But their attacks were usually focused on one to three targets at most.
Assassins had the highest speed. Although their defense was not that high, they could bring a lot of damage to a single opponent. They're good
Mages were the best at bringing large scale damage to a group of enemies. They had the highest amount of MP among all the classes, making it easier for them to cast their skills. But they also had the lowest defense which could make them vulnerable to attacks.
Priests main focused were healing skills. They even had a skill that could immediately revive a dead team mate. They're a class mainly known for support. They're not good at 1v1 combat but in a team battle, they're definitely a must have.
Lastly, the Bards. Their weapons were usually musical instruments. Most of their skills were auxillary skills that could help temporary strenghten the stats of their team mates. They're also classified as a support class. But in comparison to the Priest class, their probably to win a 1v1 fight was a bit higher.
Luo Yan had already decided to pick the Assassin class. He's not just sure what Luo Jin would pick.
"Yeah. I chose Gunslinger."
Luo Yan was a bit surprised by his brother's choice. Considering how he fought like some psycho baby yesterday while they're grinding levels, he thought for sure he would pick Berserker as a class. "You didn't just pick that because it sounds cool, right?" he teased.
"Of course not! What do you take me for?" Luo Jin said indignantly. "I chose it because I have a passive Unique Skill called [Chaotic Mind]. Everytime I make a range attack and the attack successfully landed, the opponent will be automatically confused. Its effect would last for 5 seconds. So, to utilize that, I only have four options - Archer, Gunslinger, Mage, and Bard. Out of those four, I'd rather be a Gunsglinger."
That passive Unique Skill was actually pretty good. It would be such a waste if Luo Jin wouldn't utilize it. But what surprised Luo Yan was his brother's analysis. He didn't expect that Luo Jin would carefully think about this aspect.
"Wow. Ah Jin is so smart, being able to analyze all that," he couldn't resist teasing his brother more.
As expected, Luo Jin's face turned red. "What smart? Such a simple thing. Do you think I have no brains?"
After saying that, he immediately walked faster. Luo Yan could only helplessly follow.
"Won't Ah Jin ask me what class I picked?"
Luo Jin looked up at him. "What class?"
Luo Yan smiled. "Assassin."
Luo Jin thought of the Unique Skill his second brother showed yesterday when he fought at the Arena. It seemed this class was really suited for him. But that also meant that from now on, his fights would be more or less close combat. Luo Jin couldn't help but worry. But he didn't interfere with his decision. Because when it came to this game, there's no way he would underestimate his brother.
"Nice choice," he only said.
Luo Yan smiled like a flower. "Right?"
As they continue to walk, Luo Yan could feel a lot of gazes directed at them. No, more accurately, directed at him. Some were more intense than the others. He frowned slightly. When they walked at Olkdale Town yesterday, although there were also people looking at him, it wasn't this bad. As if they're going to bore holes into him or something.
What's wrong with these people? He knew he looked like a fairy but surely, this was not the first time they saw someone good-looking. They wouldn't besiege him, right?
If Luo Yan noticed these gazes, of course, Luo Jin also did. His little face crumpled in dissatisfaction. "Yan, maybe you should wear a mask."
Luo Yan glanced down at his brother amusedly. "Why? Is Ah Jin ashame walking with me?" he asked, acting all agrieved.
"No! Don't you see these people looking at you? Aren't you uncomfortable?" Because Luo Jin surely was.
"No," Luo Yan answered smiling.
He really wasn't. Because, after all, these people could only look. And if they dare tried to touch, he would just simply log out. Besides why would he hide his face just because people were staring too much? Why would he be the one to adjust? Wasn't that just too unfair for him?
Luo Jin sighed when he heard his brother's answer. Well, fine. He's here anyway. He would just make sure no one would try to do something untoward to his second brother.
After a few more minutes of walking, they finally arrived at the Class Bureau. It was a simple three-storey building with the signboard 'Class Bureau' attached at the front. They were about to enter when Luo Yan felt his arm suddenly being grabbed.
He frowned unpleasantly. He thought that it was probably one of those people staring at him. He looked back, his heart full of annoyance. But when he did, he was slightly startled.
Because what he first saw was a pair of electric blue eyes.
