Reincarnated in a Game World ~How Could I Do Something Like a Tutorial, I’m Going to Go Raise My Level! - CH 254
“Job transfer…”
So muttered Ekaterina-san after snapping her eyes in surprise at the ‹Basic Job Ascension Ticket› I had taken out.
For coincide our interest, she had yearned for a support job while what we wanted was someone to guide and I could see Ekaterina-san was very much capable of it. I absolutely want her in our guild.
Incompatible job to be damned. One should just job transfer to get out of the cage of incompatible jobs.
I’m all but ready to give that ticket as long as the person herself has the will to take that step.
On this note, I had gotten this ticket from Salactuar. It had been kept in the guild until now but since I bought it with my personal money, all that mattered was my will on whom I wanted to use it.
Though, I believe I would be able to get back my investment should she decide to join our guild later. When it comes to using them for guild members, Celestine 一一 who is handling the guild budget 一一would become like a nagging old lady. I mean, even now, his eyes gazing at me were expressing “Please, keep it in moderation.”. I mean, it’s not like I’m complaining since he kept everything in order.
“But! I mean, that’s not possible. On the job appraisal day, I hadn’t seen any significant job other than ‹First Lieutenant› and ‹Captain›. There’s no way another job would appear even if I do the job transfer now.”
So denied Ekaterina-san after coming back to her senses, but her gaze was affixed to one point. Her eyes never left the ‹Basic Job Ascension Ticket›. I guess the proverb eyes spoke louder than the mouth must be referring to a scene like this.
I mean, I do understand what she’s implying.
As the situation stands, it should be impossible. She must have already cleared the achievement ‹Defeat 100 Monsters› normally difficult to complete with the help of the Academy. But with how that job still didn’t appear means it was a nut that couldn’t be cracked with a bit… no, it would be impossible even if she worked hard.
But, that’s only if we go by normal standards. Ekaterina-san seems to have forgotten who was standing before her. There’s no job in this world that I, once hailed as the walking database of the Dungeon Activity, didn’t know how to achieve.
“Alright, let’s talk about the ‘What if’ scenario. Suppose I know what conditions are needed for the ‹Commandment› job. Ekaterina-san can get the job of your desire. In exchange though, you would be back to square one, Lv0, after all the effort you have made in these several days. Another thing, I would want you to join Eden if you want your dream job and you would also have to continuously give your best and must become someone suitable to be a member of D-rank guild. Say Ekaterina-san, would you take on this offer in exchange of these condition?”
Well, I posed it as a hypothetical situation but that’s something I can easily do.
All that I needed was just a single word of agreement from her.
Drowning in the sea of inferiority complex and losing sight of her future, I want nothing more than to help Ekaterina-san get back her lost confidence and let her hampered wings shake through once again. I want her to take that necessary step for these reasons too.
I hold no doubt Eden would be the crowned guild of this academy in the future. Circumstances didn’t matter, what I sought from the members was the resolution.
“What will you choose, Ekaterina-san? Will you take the offer to transfer your job, join Eden and aim for the top together or will you keep sailing the sea of your life with the ‹Captain› job, as you’re currently doing?”
She gasped at my seriousness.
Unrest showed on her face, and her breathing became slightly rough. She closed her eyes once and looked up again, the colour of resolution dyeing her face this time.
“Even if for argument’s sake, there happened to be such a dreamlike scenario, I would take the job transfer right here and then. I don’t care even if I have to lose all my hard-work! I would gladly join your guild! S-rank was it, bring it on! Even if I may have become the dregs of the Duke family, I will make it to even the S-rank!”
“A great reply. Alright, you’re in.”
“Eh?”
Ekaterina-san let out a dumbfounded voice. She was making a face as if she still didn’t catch up with the meaning of my words.
I decided to ignore her surprise for now and continued.
“That was amazing, I’m glad to hear the passion is still alive inside you somewhere. There’s no doubt Eden’s strength will rise once again with your addition.”
“Huh? What? Please wait a moment. Please let my heart catch up for a moment?”
“Ekaterina-san!”
“Y-Yes!”
“I have understood what I needed to know. However, you don’t have to feel down anymore. I have come to a conclusion after sorting out everything. Now, I will announce the result of the interview!”
“Wha, Whaaaaa?”
Ekaterina-san seems like she still hadn’t caught up with the situation, nevertheless, I continued the discussion.
The drum roll was echoing inside me, accompanying it was the crisp sound of cymbal.
It was time to announce the result!
“Ekaterina-san, you passed! Congratulations to you! Let’s work hard together and aim for the top, shall we!?”
“Eh, ehhhhhhh!?”
Ekaterina-san let out her voice almost resembling a scream, I guess that’s how much she must have been moved hearing the result of the interview. Maybe it’s the so-called girls’ way to describe their emotions, I heard. (That’s totally different.)
I’m glad we were in the soundproof private room in the lounge.
Moving on, I checked the time.
It was 11:00 a.m. right now. Hmm, the day is still young.
In fact, I have already formulated the plan to get Ekaterina-san to transfer her job today.
“Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot to mention but the commandment is a mid tier high-ranking job. It’s quite good in itself but I think this still pales compared to the ‹Princess› job category. What do you think about the top tier high-ranking job ‹Master-Planner Princess›? Not only is it perfectly compatible with the Commandment, it’s even one rank higher than Commandment since it falls into the Princess Job category. If you ask me, I would recommend this. What? You are saying you will listen to me? Great, then let’s proceed with my recommendation. We will begin the process for it as soon as we finish raising your level to 10 in the ‹Tutorial Dungeon›. It’s going to be one heck of a busy day. Celestine, I’m leaving the responsibility of arranging the welcome party for our new member to you.”
“Please leave it to me.”
“Please wait a moment!? I didn’t understand even half of what you said and did we just decided on something I absolutely can’t ignore witho a heartbeat without my understanding!? My job! We’re discussing about my job right!?”
“Huh? You don’t like ‹Master-Planner Princess›?”
“Ehh? I, I mean. It’s not the matter of my liking, but we’re talking about that ‹Master-Planner Princess› job right? The same job no one but only the chosen Duke family member can acquire? The same job that’s the symbol of Top Elite?”
“I don’t know about the things you said but the ‹Master-Planner Princess› is ‹Master-Planner Princess›. We’re going to aim for it because its definitely much more better than the Commandment.”
The situation was too much for Ekaterina-san that I could see her eyes were spinning. Everything was still confusing for her.
We wouldn’t be able to achieve anything at this rate, desperate time calls for desperate measures so I guess I just have to bulldoze our way.
On another note, I also tried casting ‹Recovery›. Fwoosh~.
“If you were given a choice, which one would you choose, Commandment or ‹Master-Planner Princess›?”
“O-Of course ‹Master-Planner Princess›. I, I have always admired it.”
“Alright, that’s decided then.”
“Huh, huuuh?”
I have already decided on what to do.
I know this must be where Ekaterina-san would say an “Explanation please!”, but we don’t have time to waste to take it easy. Job transfer in one day required both the time and labour.
First we have to visit the Tutorial Dungeon to raise her level to 10, then we would have to round around the Beginner Dungeon and raise her level to 15 through power leveling! And then after fulfilling the prerequisites would she finally be able to transfer job!
If the time permits, I also want her to go through Slipo Marathon first to raise new job to level 6 and then once again make a round to Tutorial Dungeon to raise it to level 10! No matter how much the day is young, it wouldn’t be enough with us taking it easy.
So I decided to explain on the way.
After seeing off Celestine who left after a polite bow, I grabbed the hand of Ekaterina-san and immediately made our way to the ‹Tutorial Dungeon›.
