《Hero or Fool》Chapter 22: Hero, Hero, and ......Hero
Advertisement
Without, a hitch our escape was successful we managed to return to the base. Thanks to Dues' thief skills we were basically untraceable nonetheless, new techniques are constantly evolving in this world. I sometimes fear the unexpected in battle. Even if I am surrounded by the unknown there is a simple solution: hone my skills to the point where I can blow away any foe. I know that gaining a class is just a stepping stone in my path, but I cannot help but bustle will excitement. To my dismay Dues tells me I cannot perform gain a class until nightfall. Something about the moon has to be present for the stone to be active.
I kill time by training with Hans in the grounds. After a few bouts, I am dead tired he never cuts me a break and goes all out, I can barely keep up with him. Well, to be more precise I am unable to keep up with him that's why I did not come out unscathed. I can't wait until I can match him, with my awesome class abilities, speaking of which I can see the moon! I head to a campsite Dues prepared outside of the base. A transparent blue stone rests on top of a simple stone structure. I assume it is a class stone and it is surprisingly beautiful. In my previous world, it would probably fetch a high price.
"The time is now child, you will find your class. As the moonlight strikes the stone glare deep into the stone." Dues calls out to me.
I stare in the stone as the moon becomes visible through the clouds, the stone begins to glow as a symbol becomes visible in the center. It looks like a sword no a shield, wait it is constantly changing. The stone glows even brighter and flies toward me and heads straight for my chest. I feel no pain as it passes through my body. I begin to feel a buzzing sensation throughout my body.

"The stone seems to be reading your memories, even ones from your past world. I am unable to protect your memories from the stone," Hopes voice echoed in my head.
"It is fine I have nothing to hide, besides everything about me must be put in if I want to select the perfect class."
The buzzing suddenly stopped, it was so sudden it took my body a second to adjust. Before me appeared a giant table.
Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero Hero
Huh, lots of diversity. Does it even matter which hero I choose, there must be a deeper meaning behind presenting me with so many of the same choices. Perhaps, my luck is being tested and only one of the hero choices contains a super powerful skill. Whatever, my strong resolve to be a hero has betrayed me in this instance, severely limiting my class choices. I steady myself and select the top-right hero. My status bar flashes it fading in and out of view rapidly when the light finally fades a message is displayed.
You have earned the class Storm Hero
Unique Skill Unlocked: Resolve
Class Skill Unlocked: Lightning Blade
In addition to unlocking new skills, my status bar has become far more detailed than before and my stats are listed numerically unlike before where the only number I could get was a level.

"So what class did you get boy," said Dues
"As expected of me not only did I manage to earn the title of Hero, I gained a unique skill in the process."
"Good for you! Getting a unique skill is pretty rare."
He responded with a simile but, I hear a bit of sadness in his voice, does he believe that becoming a hero is a bad thing? I choose to ignore it, Dues may have lied to me in past but, he never had evil intentions when doing so. To be frank, he may have lied to me to teach me how to think on my own or something.
I part with Dues and head back to the base looking for my area to rest. My fellow army members seem to have other plans though. Apparently getting a class was not a very common occurrence and warrants a small celebration. Looks like turning in early is nothing but a dream to me.
The party was pretty simple I was congratulated on achieving a rare class by the other squad members. Even Hans who has done nothing except talk down on me voiced words of praise. Praising me was not the only propose of this party however. Dues used this opportunity to introduce all the members of the squad to me. They all explained their abilities to me which is important since we will be fighting together soon. Looks like I have finally been accepted.
The Squad including me and Dues is composed of seven members. The members I already know are the leader Dues, who is thief, and Hans the warrior. The other one know as Arata, is skilled in everything except combat he handles the information, cooking, cleaning, and other activities along those lines. The last member I kinda already know is Roxanne(The one who attack me in my sleep) she is an assassin very skilled at spying but, she tends to take her role too seriously going as far as to spy on her own squad members. The last three members whom I just met formally today are Quim the Paladin, Emma a priest, and Lynette who commands an array of elemental magic. They seem friendly enough however, I cannot rest easy for everyone on this squad isn't normal.
