Chapter 257: Youngsters. (2/2)

“G’ mornin’ “

The three children replied to him as he spotted theirl with green hair She was the shortest of the bunch and her ears were a little pointy but besides that, she passed for a regular huroup that shouted back to announce himself The kid was the tallest of them and had a better physique Froe if he received a class that suited his larger stature Yet this didn’ta carpenter or a blacksmith was just as probable

The last one was also a boy of ten years with some stubble around his chin Sie he was starting to grow a beard Probably after two years, his beard would start coveringdwarf

“Fin stop running around and don’t touch anything!”

“Hah, he sure looks excited”

Elodia’s fist collided with Fin’s head as he was trying to touch one of the stationary spider goleetic boy from the bunch and it was the first ti lad had a hard ti in all directions as if he was in a store filled with candy

“You already saw Fin…”

“That I did”

“This is Marcie and this is Jorg”

Elodia shook her head while trying to pull Fin back to the group The girl was quite shy and the lanced her way she flopped her head down to avoid his gaze She like e was mixed in one way or another In this world purity of a bloodline was still an issue so it wasn’t strange to see an abandoned child that had parents from different races

“Don’t worry, Mr Wayland only looks scary on the outside but he is very kind”

“Wait… I’m scary?”

“Awoo!”

Before anyone could answer his question Agni gave out a howl as if he wanted to agree with Elodia’s claim Roland didn’t really pay attention to his facial expression that most of the time could make others feel uncomfortable The only person that didn’t seeaze was Fin as ical items than the class crystals

“A little bit, how about you try to smile more?”

Elodia looked down at Marcie that had ju towards Roland that was told to se facial expression that was supposed to resemble a smile

“Like this?”

“Uh… I think we need to work on that, just act nor the kids!”

Bernir called out froathered in the yard and three chairs had been prepared for the kids After getting laughed at by his assistant the girl started relaxing but to s back on track

“Have you explained everything to the”

Elodia turned towards Fin as looking at the table with three stones on theht looked similar to quartz with a soe depending on the church it was produced froion was different then this stone would have a darker coloring to it

“This crystal will allow you to gain your first tier 1 class If you focus on it the effect should activate and you will be taken to a separate space Don’t worry, you can’t be hurt there nor can you lose your life”

This was just partially true as any trials that the kids took there could be quite painful Yet even if they died in that space they would just return to this world as if nothing happened Roland had the most experience with these trials but the class-up space that he produced was very unique To explain it to these ten-year-olds he would need to relay the information that he achieved from books

“The location you will arrive at has many names, some call it the dream space others the God realm, nevertheless it is mostly composed of your own s”

Just like his class tests took place in virtual reality at his old apart similar should happen for these children Most of the time they found themselves in a place from their memories, this could be their own house, a library they once visited, or even a castle

“Don’t be alarmed, try to slowly examine the place you have been taken to There will always be a path to your destination and once there your first class will appear”

The kids had no choice in the first class but ive them an idea of what they could expect from life It was a brutal system that divided the populace and mostly didn’t allow people to break out Unless someone achieved a battle class as their first tier 1 class it would be impossible to break out of this constraint

Yet in a way, it was ruuided by their subconscious own desires These didn’t always align with the surface goals of the people taking the trials and so outcomes that could turn a person’s life upside down in but a o, remember to sit down and concentrate, don’t worry we are all here, nothing bad is going to happen”

Elodia reassured the trio that sat down on the previously prepared lawn chair replicas They were folded back so that the kids could lean against the backrest in athe kids to not worry about it, their bodies needed to be in a safe position After they left the ical space they would probably be confused

‘I never really saw anyone else go through the class change before, this ood chance to examine the process from outside’

His Runic Eye skill had recently reached level seven The negative sy only happened if he overused the skill and not really after activating it as in the past He was hoping to get a clue of as happening with people during these trials and with three kids here it was the perfect setting

Finally, the first child activated the crystal, it was Jorg the quietest of the bunch that took the plunge and the two others followed suit soon after With haste, he activated all of his skills as well as one of his gole theout

Yet only for a , the effect of these crystals was very fast, too fast for him to wrap his head around it For a split second, he could see some complicated runic symbols in the air but alht before he could analyze theh, these structures were vastly more complicated than the ones he had previously exa above tier 3?’

“R… Wayland are you okay? Your nose…”

“Huh?”

While the kids aking up froically induced sleep that only took two seconds in the real world, he its he noticed blood cohtheadedness

“I’round tospell that he had inscribed onto a te It ca spell possible

“Sister Elodia, I did it, I have a class now!”

Shouted the sirl to take the attention away from his bloodied nose The other two quickly followed suit and for the tiaze The focus was on the children and their new classes that would now shape their lives
