Chapter 47: Job Class
The group had spent a considerable number of survival points and rank rewards during their visit to the two shops. However, there was one more important place they needed to visit, one that Alan had previously reminded Milo and Daniel about it.
As the trio made their way toward the building on the opposite corner, Vicky couldn't help but express her excitement, exclaiming, "Ooo, you are ready to get a job class!! Aaa, so envious!"
Upon reaching the entrance of the building, they were greeted by a beautiful NPC. Her warm smile added to the sense of anticipation as she welcomed them, saying, "Good afternoon, players. Are you here to acquire your first job? You may enter if you have reached level 10."
Reaching level 10 was no easy feat, as it required gathering a total of at least 7,000 EXP. Alan estimated that less than 10% of all players in the game were able to achieve this milestone, while the veterans most likely already got their job classes in their previous game.
Among the group of five, not everyone had managed to reach level 10
[Alan D Angello - Level 12: 9260/10000]
[Milo Tagliano - Level 10: 7950/8000]
[Daniel Judge - Level 10: 7120/8000]
[Victoria Collins - Level 8: 5650/6000]
[Luis Pena - Level 7: 4810/5000]
While Victoria and Luis had received more bonuses for their efforts in saving civilians during missions, their experience points were still not comparable to what Alan, Daniel, and Milo had earned from completing extra bonus missions.
Victoria had received a significant XP boost from her involvement in killing the Alpha wolf, but it still wasn't enough for her to reach level 10. She could only sulk outside the building, playfully remarking, "Don't be too long, okay? It's not nice to let a girl wait."
As they entered the building, what waiting for them was high ceilings rooms that reminded them of a cathedral, there were six statues immediately caught their attention. Each of them represented the six acquirable basic jobs:
Warrior, Knight, Rogue, Soldier, Scholar, and Acolyte
Standing before the six statues representing the different job classes, Alan took a moment to study them before sharing a brief explanation with his two companions.

Players had the opportunity to acquire a job class at levels 10, 30, 60, and 90. At these points, they could either upgrade their current job class to an advanced one or choose a completely new class as their second one.
"So, what do you two think? Which one will you choose?" Alan asked, turning to Daniel and Milo.
Daniel's natural speed and affinity for powerful throws made the [Rogue] class, which boosted agility and perception, an obvious choice for him. With enthusiasm, he selected it as his first class, eager to unleash his potential on the battlefield.
Milo, on the other hand, found himself torn between the [Warrior] and [Knight] classes. Both classes appealed to his desire for strength and speed. However, after listening to Alan's detailed explanation of the advanced job class [Martial Artist], which perfectly complemented his fighting style, Milo ultimately decided to embark on the [Warrior] path, determined to become a formidable combatant.
As for Alan, he pondered his options carefully. In his previous life, he had taken the [Knight] class first for its defensive capabilities, which had given him a higher chance of survival. Later, at level 30, he had chosen the [Acolyte] class, knowing it could be upgraded into powerful advanced classes like [Light Magician] or [Dark Magician]. The pinnacle of his achievements had come at level 90 when he unlocked the rare and powerful [Psionic Knight] class by combining both [Knight] and [Light Magician].
It would actually be beneficial for Alan to choose a class that he was familiar with. However, after weeks of contemplation, he found his mind fixated on a different job class, one that he believed would be crucial to his success in the game.
With unwavering determination, Alan declared his choice.
"I choose the Scholar Job Class," he announced confidently.
Despite the confusion that filled the air as everyone tried to grasp why Alan had chosen such an uncommon class, one that almost none of the other players chose, Alan maintained his calm and composed demeanor, he had a strong reason for his decision.
The beautiful NPC instructed them to stand on individual platforms, and once inside, a notification appeared on Alan's bracelet.
The platform began to shine brightly, and an electrifying sensation coursed through his body. Moments later, another notification appeared.
[Congratulations, You are now a Scholar]
[Intelligence: D] +2 [D > D+ > C-]
[Spirit: F-] +1 [F- > F]
[You learned a new Passive skill - Scholar Spirit]
Alan's resolve remained unshaken as he welcomed his new path. "It's noon already; let's head to the training ground," he said, eager to explore the capabilities of his new job class
The group proceeded to the training ground, ready to hone their skills and face the challenges that lay ahead in the game.
