(Info Dump Chapter)
â¹Wisemanâº.
It's one such job that stood out even among other prominent jobs in â¹Dungeon Activityâº.
The most peculiar fact about this job is the race category in which it can manifest. Surprisingly, it's â¹Nobleâº.
The term â¹Noble⺠specifically refers to royalties and aristocracy; â¹Royaltyâº, â¹Dukeâº, â¹Marquisâº, â¹Countâº, â¹Viscountâº, â¹Baronâº, and â¹Baronetâº.
In short, it was a job anyone can acquire as long as they belong to one of these categories. That was surprising.
Usually, â¹Royalty⺠have royal exclusive jobs, and â¹Viscount⺠have jobs exclusive only to them. This is how race and jobs roles are spread in the â¹Dungeon Activityâº.
However, there are also jobs like â¹Wisemanâº, while admittedly few but still there are, which aren't bound to one category exclusively.
Incidentally, it is far easier for â¹Baron⺠or â¹Baronetâº, who have low fame value, to acquire â¹Wisemanâº, than royalty. Mainly because â¹Royalty⺠requires a whooping 200 fame value, while other two only 20.
Well, it was such eye-candy to see a character wearing a tiara or crown as â¹Wisemanâº, but it was a shame that only one â¹Royalty⺠category member can be a member of the guild.
Then, why such a versatile job exists that can fit into any category, well the reason is the limit on the number of member selected categories a guild can have.
The â¹Noble⺠category allows anyone to join as long as they meet the fame requirement.
However there is an upper limit to that number; only one person for â¹Royaltyâº, two for â¹Dukeâº, â¹Marquisâº, â¹Earlâº, â¹Viscountâº, and â¹Baronâº, and five for â¹Baronetâº.
That's where â¹Wiseman⺠comes into play, which is used to fill up the slot when the upper limit is already filled.
Like, players want to have all the five members of â¹Baronet⺠category â¹Knightâº, so it's impossible to add a â¹Wiseman⺠job holder there.
Similarly, â¹Héroe⺠is strong in the â¹Viscount⺠so â¹Wiseman⺠can't be added into this category either.
â¹Royalty⺠prestige point is incredibly high so it's even more waste to have them â¹Wisemanâº, after all, who wouldn't want a â¹Saint⺠or â¹Hero⺠in their guild.
And so and so reason that I'm skipping, â¹Baron⺠is the only category that we can have â¹Wiseman⺠without compromising on anything if available. That's how players allocate the slot in the different categories.
That being said, there's no need to explain exclusive jobs are strong. â¹Wiseman⺠can be chosen in any â¹Noble⺠category but its performance is slightly mid among other peak jobs.
Well, it's not a â¹Princess Job⺠so it's understandable. Even males can acquire this job after all.
But like a diamond in rough, â¹Training Manual⺠can bring out its inner qualities, making it one of desirable jobs.
It's a jack-of-all-trade type job, from magic attacker to healer to buffer to de-buffer, and housed at the rearguard position.
If â¹Saint⺠is jack-of-all-trades with its core abilities revolving around healing, then â¹Wiseman⺠job is more of a jack-of-all-trade with its abilities focusing on offense.
On this topic, â¹Sageâº, which shares the meaning as â¹Wisemanâº, is specialized in healing.
There might be jobs with similar meaning in the â¹Dungeon Activityâº, but they can have completely different usage and line-up positions.
One such famous example is â¹Braveâº, â¹Heroâº, and â¹Héroeâº.
In the words of the developer group, 'Words can have the same meaning, but the impression they give doesn't'.
I also agree with that statement. For me, both â¹Brave⺠and â¹Hero⺠are completely different. And...
Ack, I got off track.
I put my focus on Misato's talk once again.
"Ahem. Then, let's have an interview first. By the way, 'where' are they from?"
"No surprise there huh, you already guessed that much hearing about â¹Wiosemanâº. Well, They're the sons of â¹Viscount⺠to whom our clan is serving."
Hmm, a â¹Viscount⺠huh. What's more, a son means a boy!
â¹Eden⺠barely has any boy.
Since we're being outnumbered, I'm glad to have male members join us. I definitely want to welcome them.
Things are getting more and more nerve wracking.
"In which year and class between? It would be better if he's from the same year as well."
"Yes, he's from the same year. â¹Combat Department Year-1 Class-1âº."
Oh? 'Class-8' huh.
Well, he surely piqued my interest then.
It was already explained there are 127 classes in the â¹Combat Departmentâº. To add further, there's noticeable contrast between â¹Class-7⺠and â¹Class-8⺠onwards.
It is the gap in their starting level, mainly â¹Class-8⺠and onwards starts from Lv0. Or to be more accurate, they're the students who have acquired a job on May 1st.
Conversely speaking, the 210 students in the first seven classes had already acquired their job within april, and leveled up in that due time, through which, they were then registered in one of those seven classes.
I wonder if It clears where Iâm heading. In short, the class division up to class-7 isn't the sign of their absolute abilities.
It was simply due to the head start through status and level up that they were placed in class-7.
If the classes for the entire freshman year had been divided based on Level 0, meaning that all of them started at the same level, I dare say the results would have been significantly different than they are now.
Then someone like Saturn would have absolutely not made up to class-1. Then what about class-8?
What I want to highlight here is students from class-8 to class-50 have similarly high-ranking job and same result as well. So, on what basis students in the class-8 have been chosen for that class when their starting line is the same?
It's their job, knowledge, and practical skills.
Since it's not possible to assess them solely based on level, itâs the next best thing about them, strength of their abilities, which are assessed using all other factors.
In other words, among all the other 1290 students who awakened a high ranking job, the only class which has been decided on academic results in the truest sense is â¹Class-8âº.
Everyone is misunderstanding facts.
Typically, the top-performing students gather in Class-1. That's undeniable.
Because usually, those who couldn't achieve a high-ranking job in the entrance assessment are unlikely to obtain a high-ranking job later on.
The requirement to acquire a high-ranking job is unclear. That's why you will not see any entries of dark horse during such a time period. That's why, with the passing of one month will their true skills be reflected in the form of their level, and that's when class will be actually divided based on merit.
However, this year is different.
The number of students with high-ranking jobs count to 1290. But do all the students in this group really hold the ability to be ranked up to class-7?
I am sure this is definitely not the case.
On the contrary, I can already see a huge downfall in the future if the students in class-7 were to be caught up in terms of level.
â¹Combat Department Yea-1 Class-8âº.
This class is, in fact, a hidden elite class.
