Chapter 51 - CHOOSING A CLASS (1/2)

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 at melee combat but pretty bad at range attacks.  With this class, it's best to get close to the opponent first before doing any attacks.

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.
