The job change quest was quite difficult, but as expected, Do Yu-geon easily completed it. Then, job skills were added to the Doyugun skill window.

job skills

1. Fledgling Prosecutor

◇ The movements of a rookie prosecutor – ON

◇ One Sword Enhancement Lv.1

It wasn’t obvious, but it felt natural, and the system didn’t tell us what the effect of the new skill was. According to Do Yoo-geon, the body movements of a rookie prosecutor literally improve his movements. Strengthening a single sword feels like sharpening the blade once you cut it.

Even if you look at magic power, you can’t find any difference, so the job skills of a rookie swordsman seem to be non-magical and unscientific superpowers, like the level-up effect.

“Strengthen one sword!”

Do Yu-geon shouts the name of the skill and removes the slime core. No, don’t say that out loud… … . I covered my face with the grimoire and cooled my red face for a moment. I’m embarrassed to be next to you.

Strengthening the single sword required an active skill or trigger word. This means that you have to shout out the name of the skill while writing it. There is no need to shout out loud like Do Yoo-geon, but in order to use a skill, you must say the name of the skill. If you have formed a party, you must say the name of the skill in front of others. Is it okay to not use active skills?

If common sense in fantasy is shouting out skill names, I want to pursue non-standard sense. There is no need to follow common sense. Now, I’m just casually muttering about the status window and logging in. Eventually, I’ll get used to shouting out skill names, but in many ways, it’s a future I want to reject.

Still, I guess it’s a good thing that even if you shout the skill name in your mind, the active skill won’t be used. Because I don’t want to experience the cosmic horror of the system reading my thoughts. There is no answer to that kind of future.

After Do Yoo-geon changed jobs, he experimented and searched the Internet, but was unable to find any information that would be helpful in choosing a career. If I had to be honest, I guess I should avoid jobs that would have cheesy active skill names.

Time passed quickly and September 21st became the day of the first regular meeting of the Exploration League. Do Yoo-geon and I left the subway and moved to the meeting place.

“Don’t go and boast about being a genius or something. Let’s just quietly watch.”

“Okay, okay. I don’t know how many times you’ve answered this, but what do you think of me?”

“Look at it as Do Yoo Geon.”

“What does that mean?”

“Good meaning.”

When I arrived at the place and looked around, there was a screen in the front, tables in the middle, and food on shelves in the back.

I received a necklace name tag and a pamphlet from the Exploration League staff, grabbed some snacks, and sat down at an appropriate table. I came excitedly because I heard it was a meeting, but the structure was closer to an event than a meeting. I guess I received a lot of corporate sponsorship.

As I was snacking on snacks, chatting with Do Yoo-geon, and eavesdropping on conversations at tables around me, the federation president came up to the podium and greeted me. When you look at it that way, isn’t the scale of the Exploration Alliance still too small to be called an alliance? Umm.

The federation leader explained the future vision of the Exploration Federation. They brokered system distribution between companies and explorers and prepared for invasions from other worlds.

If we were to narrow it down and get straight to the point, it seems like the Exploration Federation will focus on securing a source of revenue for explorers. There are people who quit their jobs and became active in the Exploration League, so it is a natural step.

“What is system distribution?”

“It’s literally what it says: we will use the system to deliver and deliver.”

“how?”

“It’s taking advantage of a loophole in the party system. If you form a party, you just log in and meet in the preparation room no matter where you are, right? Then, if you hand over the items and the other person logs out, you can very easily move the items to another place. That’s what we’re using.”

This is a revolution in the transportation industry that allows immediate transportation anywhere in the world without time or cost issues.

If the Exploration Federation steps forward to take the lead, it may be worth the money, but it is doubtful whether it will become a big deal as it has been a long time since many large corporations gathered explorers in the early days of the fantasy phenomenon.

The federation leader talked about the sponsoring companies and then left the podium. According to the schedule written in the pamphlet, named explorers will come out next to share know-how and cases, and there will be free conversation time afterwards.

After listening to the named raid leader talk about the wizard’s injury and its impact on the party composition, I stood up.

“I’ll wash my hands and then come back.”

When I returned from going to the bathroom, Do Yu-geon was not there. When I looked around, I found myself talking to a person wearing a wizard’s robe at a snack bar in the back.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“Hahaha. It’s not that big of a deal.”

What are you bragging about?

“No, it’s really great. I spent my time as a wizard because I was afraid of fighting up close.”

“Magic is good. I wanted to be a wizard, but I gave up after seeing my friend’s talent.”

I walked over and stabbed him in the side. We haven’t said much yet, but I’m worried that they’ll suddenly start talking about me being a genius or something. The guy must have sensed my presence and dodged my finger.

I ignored the wizard’s gaze and grabbed some snacks.

“Is this the friend you just mentioned?”

“yes that’s right.”

“It must be difficult to hunt as a wizard, but your friend is going through a difficult path. It’s not my place to say anything.”

The wizard laughed and continued.

“But thanks to the update, I changed my job, so I got a taste for hunting. Oh, okay, should I show you some magic? I’m a pyromancer, so it’ll be worth a look.”

“Good.”

Is he a pyromancer? I’m curious about your skills. Instead of going to this place where there was a lot of traffic, we went to the original table and the wizard changed the system settings and showed the skill window.

job skills

1. Novice Pyromancer

◇ A fledgling pyromancer’s magical sense—ON

◇ Flame Magic – Fireball Lv.1

The composition is not much different from the content collected from the Internet. Job skills consist of passive skills and active skills, and are given one of each.

Magic sense is believed to be a common skill for wizards and increases the magic sense range of basic skills.

“Fireball.”

As the pyromancer spoke, the magic moved and formed a certain arrangement, turning into flames. It came together and created a ball of flame on the pyromancer’s palm. Do Yu-geon clapped.

This is also a change in the nature of magical power. It seems that fire magic is used in a way that changes the nature of magical power, like healing magic.

But even though the wizard didn’t even touch the magical power, the system takes care of it just by speaking. Isn’t it too system-dependent?

“Fire magic is cool!”

“right?”

“I should have become a wizard after all.”

“You don’t know the hardships of being a wizard. It’s gotten a lot better after the job update, but it’s still not that easy these days.”

“What is it?”

“Because wizards are so special, although they are strong, they are avoided as party members. This magic is easy to use, but when you actually use it, it is difficult to control, so there are times when it causes damage to party members. Even when you don’t want it.”

It’s worth it because the system does it for you.

The pyromancer continued.

“Right now, if a pyromancer sparks a spark and the forest catches fire, dozens of mobs will come, but the pyromancer will not be accepted at the party.”

“Uh, wait a minute. So doesn’t that mean we can just set fire to the forest and hunt them?”

“Of course I tried. But why are they so good at dealing with goblins and slimes that they don’t die even if the forest is on fire?”

The pyromancer continued, opening a bag of cookies.

“The game balance is shit.”

“Good job on the inspection.”

“Everyone likes spear fighting, but I also like swordsmanship. If only I could do close combat, I would have been a swordsman. By the way, life… now that I think about it, what is your level?”

“It’s been a while since I reached level 9. I’ll soon be level 10.”

“You level up really fast. Even your friend?”

The pyromancer looked this way.

“yes.”

I answered and ate the cookie.

The pyromancer who looked at him for a moment lowered his head toward Do Yu-geon’s ear and spoke under his breath. It’s a very small voice that says it won’t be heard here.

“I’m asking because I may have made a mistake. Did I do something rude to this young lady?”

Unfortunately, I heard it all.

“No. This is how she is.”

I don’t have any hard feelings, so I hope you don’t mind.

The pyromancer straightened his posture with a relieved expression.

“Really? Then I’m glad. What were you talking about?”

“Did you ask about my level?”

“Ah, yes. Level 9. If you are level 9, you probably haven’t met an orc yet.”

I already knew that the level 10 mob was an orc by looking on the internet, but there was no reliable information. That’s because it’s a bare fist without a weapon. There are degrees of lying.

“You don’t know how embarrassed I was when I first met an orc. A muscular orc appeared and started punching. He seemed to have learned martial arts, so when I stabbed him with a spear, he snatched the spear and when I threw a spell at him, he quickly dodged it. I don’t know how to catch him.”

Was it really with bare fists? I looked at the pyromancer’s expression, but it didn’t look like he was bragging. Ugh, I hate fantasy so much. What I’m saying is keep at least some common sense.

As I continued to listen, the head of the engineering department who had been giving a presentation at the podium came down and a new person stood at the podium and said hello. Applause erupted from the table where there were many people wearing wizard robes. He is a 20m wizard.

When I came to the meeting here, I expected that the Exploration League might bring in a genius wizard hiding somewhere, but my expectations were in vain. I don’t know whether the Exploration League is incompetent or the geniuses are hiding well. There are many geniuses in the world, but where are all the geniuses?

“I was very embarrassed when the Exploration Federation asked me to make a presentation. Actually, I’m not that great of a person. I’m just lucky that my magic sense range is 20m, there’s nothing special about it.”

The wizard is right. He and he are lucky and have a wide magic sense range, but there is nothing special about it. It means that he is not a great person who can be called a genius.

“So I refused at first. After thinking about it, I thought I might have something to say. Thanks to this job update, wizards have a wider range of magic sense. Thanks to that, many things have become possible, but there are many wizards who have not yet adapted. “I know, so I would like to tell you how to use a wider scope, not as a more talented wizard, but as an experienced wizard.”

The pyromancer applauded enthusiastically. As if in response, the robed wizards clapped.

Do Yu-geon clapped and tapped.

“You’re a wizard too. Applause, applause.”

“Okay, okay.”

I clapped my hands and took a quick look around. Everyone, like the wizard, was clapping. I don’t know where the geniuses are, but I do know that the wizard standing on the podium right now is their idol.

After the wizard’s presentation was over and the person who introduced himself as Changsa went up to the podium, the pyromancer and Do Yu-geon, who were concentrating on the presentation, started chatting. The porridge fits well.

It wasn’t something I was interested in, so I looked around at other tables. There are many people who do not focus on their job because it is not their job. Looking at the table near the federation president, I saw that the federation president was talking to someone else, and the other person looked angry. The Exploration League seems to be in shambles as well.

The magicians who were clapping were wondering what to do, and then a pyromancer was showing off his magic by creating a fireball. I don’t know if showing off is a common feature of pyromancers or wizards.

“If that’s not the pursuit of self-interest, what is!”

It’s a surprise. When I looked at the direction from which the shout came, it was the direction of the federation president. Looks like there was a fight. I glanced at the podium and saw that the presenter had stopped talking and was looking at me. It’s a pity that it’s being announced now.

Do Yoo-geon poked him.

“why?”

“Look over there.”

When I looked at the direction he was pointing to, I saw that it was the direction of the wizard who had been showing off fireballs just a moment ago. I must have made a mistake while using magic and the table caught fire. Wow.

Do Yu-geon asked the pyromancer.

“What should I do if a fire occurs while using fire magic?”

“Usually it disappears when the wizard who casts it controls it….”

Looking at the wizard who started the fire, it looks like he’s trying to destroy it, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Were you embarrassed because so many people were watching?

The heat from burning the table must have reached the ceiling, and at some point, water poured out from the sprinkler.

In that moment, the pyromancer who had been sitting and watching jumped up in surprise.

“Uh, sleep-”

When the water from the sprinkler touched the flame magic, the flame exploded and spread flames in all directions. Fortunately, there were no people around, so no one was hurt. The wizard who was close by to put out the fire was lying down somewhere else, probably saved by someone quick-witted.

Some kind of fire magic poured water, and it got bigger and more chaotic. Someone put out the fire with a fire extinguisher and some people went out the door. The atmosphere is completely crippling. I haven’t even looked into the job information properly yet.

The fire magic seemed to be strong enough to be difficult to extinguish with a fire extinguisher. In fact, even if it is suppressed properly, the powder from the fire extinguisher is likely to disrupt the meeting.

It’s no good waiting for the fire truck to come, so should this be the one to put it out? Umm. I’ve never used magic without the wizards knowing… … .

He lifted the fire extinguisher from the person who was working hard to put out the fire, took it away, and threw it through the window. I glance at the pyromancer next to me and see that he is just confused by the absurd sight and doesn’t seem to know what he has done. Good good.

“hey?”

Do Yu-geon whispered. I pressed my index finger to my lips to tell him to be quiet.

I think the way to turn off flame magic is the same as the way to ruin healing magic in the middle of it. maybe. Maybe not, but then why not bring the fire extinguisher again?

Converting the properties of magical power is a fairly delicate task, so if the magical power is not arranged properly, the properties will not be converted. Once the property change is achieved, the magical arrangement is maintained with its own solidity, but it is still weak to artificial intervention. It may be a different story if it’s a complex property change, but it’s about Fireball Lv.1.

The nearest magical arrangement was crushed. As expected, the flames disappeared. It works.

Flame magic is unique, so there is a lot to be confused about as it has the characteristic of mass-producing the same magical power arrangement. The easiest way is to pour in your magic and crush them all, but then you will get caught, so you have to be patient and take it step by step.

One by one, the magic was crushed and the flames were suppressed. As the flames died down, the murmurs grew louder and people clapped.

Do Yu-gun held this hand and imitated applause. What are you doing.

“Applause, applause.”

“Okay, okay.”

We applauded and extinguished the flames, and the fire was finally extinguished. The pyromancer who was clapping cheered and shouted to those around him.

“Has anyone taken video of this?”

what. Is this the mindset of these days? I’m embarrassed.

Wizards flocked to the 20m wizard and asked if he had just used magic. As the 20m wizard denied, the murmur grew louder.

Okay, nice atmosphere. Lameness will not be possible. Let’s slowly start collecting job information. He stood up with Do Yu-geon and approached the muttering wizards and spoke.

“Isn’t this some kind of special skill? Why don’t you all open the skill window?”

The wizards agreed and Do Yu-geon clapped. Okay, okay. I know it myself. So stop clapping and eat some snacks.
