Master Of None

Chapter 10: 10.The interview

After sitting for some time Walker began to become worried. What if they had decided they couldnʼt accept him because he couldnʼt use a mastery skill!? Maybe my level was too low now and I havenʼt taken the time to level up.

While lost in thought Dirk and Clara approached ”A-hem,” Dirk cleared his throat to get Walkerʼs attention. ”Clara and I shall be interviewing you. Normally, it would only be one person but since Iʼm curious about some things I asked Clara to join in.” Clara finished his sentence ”We shall be heading to the second floor private meeting room one. Please follow us.”

Hot on their heels Walker followed them up the staircase to see a long hallway with many doors each numbered in sequence. These were all private meeting rooms to discuss special quests such as escorts, item gatherings, and unique monster slaying.

The group quickly entered room one which had a few chairs and a large table to make meeting easier. Dirk and Clara took their seats on one side of the table while Walker was on the other.

”Youʼve demonstrated a very diverse group of skills coming from multiple Systems. I have officially listed you as able to fulfill all possible roles within a party.” Clara produced the paperwork from earlier pointing out the finished section. ”That being said what position do you see yourself fulfilling?”

Walker had already thought of a reply for this kind of question while he waited and replied with confidence. ” I lack experience and also need to level up, so I hope to find a younger party like myself and fill a much needed role or even become a leader that can support the whole party.

I feel like it will be easier to find where I fit in as I speak to potential party members and experience real battles.”

To Dirk, this answer made the most sense, but he was left wondering if he would focus on supporting through attack skills or other means. ” Will you be learning more healing and support skills or will you focus on attack and defense?”, Dirkʼs voice had become much more serious as he gauged Walkerʼs character.

” I want to learn enough skills to cover any weakness, but based on the combat test I have more attack skills than others. Learning a support skill like boost or more defensive skill like mana shield would be a good goal.

However, I am also thinking of learning some trade and survival skills to repair weapons and gear, along with more skills to easily set up camp and even negotiate prices.” Walkerʼs answer would have sounded much too grand if he did not have his system, but with the system he had it was a very attainable goal to pursue.

The conversation continued further to his upbringing, how he acquired his system, and other personal matters. After about an hour Clara spoke up ” This will conclude todayʼs interview we will bring the information to the guild master for examination. Normally it would not require his input however with your unique system we would like to put in personal recommendations.

Please report to the guild in the morning to retrieve your plate and further guidance, even without the masterʼs input you have surpassed the requirements to join as a stone tier adventurer. Congratulations.”
