Master Of None

Chapter 12: 12.Party members

”The room you will be going to is room 15. They have been getting to know each other for the last half hour so you will have some catching up to do,” Clara said with a smile sending him off to the second floor

Walker found the room with ease and could hear muffled voices coming from the other side. With a quick knock, he opened the door revealing a tall girl with blond hair and thick iron armor covering her. She could be described as a mountain, the feeling that a single point of damage could not even phase her was an understatement.

Sitting at the table with his feet up was a slim boy only a few inches taller than Walker adorned in light leather armor, black hair, and sharp features. From the look he had anyone could tell he was happy not to be alone with the two girls any longer.

Finally, a tough looking girl wearing slightly revealing clothing showing off her formed muscles, red hair and tough looking iron knuckles was standing to the left. She looked ready to pounce, glaring at Walker as if daring him to challenge her.

”Finally we get to balance out the ratio in here, I was worried Iʼd be the only guy in the party!” A quick joke and a chuckle came from the boy at the table who slowly stood up to extend his hand. ”Iʼm Gil, 15 years old and user of The Ranger System.”

His introduction was quick and to the point. The tall girl to his right took a step forward as well ”You can call me Su, I just turned 15 as well. I shall be the protector in the party.” Walker quickly confirmed in his mind that she would easily fill the role of defender in their party.

Lastly, all eyes looked toward the red head with the iron knuckles. ” What?! I already introduced myself. Itʼs not my fault he showed up late.” She looked away pretending there was nothing to be said.

” She said her name is Remey and sheʼs a close combat fighter. Although thatʼs easy to guess with her gear and choice of weapon.” Gil spoke up quickly to avoid conflict.

Walkerʼs thinking skills really started to shine as he found exactly what they needed to be a functioning party ” All thatʼs missing is a healer and supporting role, and if we find a fifth member down the line a magic damage dealer. Well not that we will really need another member as long as I can boost my mana I can cover us.” He quickly jumped to his system and distributed his 5 points in to mana

ʼ Mana has risen to 11ʼ the system chimed immediately.

”Wait, so youʼre a healer and supporter?” Remey interrupted. She knew she would often take damage and knew she needed to make sure the healer focused on her since she would be closest to the enemy.

”Well, technically yes, but I can also cover us on magic attack. Also, if your gear is damaged Iʼll try to learn some skills to fix it. Oh, I can cook too so we shouldnʼt worry about food much...and...and...” Walker looked like he could say more but the confused looks of all three caused him to trail off. ”Whatʼs wrong do I have something on my face?” , he asked innocently.

”Iʼd like to ask what system you have, but it will be easier to go downstairs and have the guild link us as a party so we can see each otherʼs stats and system names.” Gil offered up taking some pressure off the others and Walker.

”Oh, actually I can do that too!” Walker immediately switches to his quest to collect rewards. ”Collect rewards!”

ʼ You have completed your first quest.ʼ

ʼ5exp rewardedʼ

ʼDue to recommendations from two staff of the adventurers guild and advanced reward has been issued, Party skill was upgraded to the party leader skill from the Leader system.ʼ

ʼParty leader skill:

Not only can you start and join a party but as the leader, you will be able to see the items, skills, statistics, and location on any map of your current party members. You will also be able to quick chat any party members by announcing ”quick chat _____” ʼ

” Activate party leader. Send invites to Gil, Remey, and Su!” Walker immediately activated his rewarded skill with a massive smile on his face.

A toll of three chimes echoed in the room as the three received the invite. ”Seriously!!! Didnʼt you just say you could heal and support? But you actually have a leader system?” Gil was flabbergasted he was meeting someone with such high potential seeing as the leadership systems were a rare case.

”Just wait until you accept and view our party, itʼs much better,” Walker said with a sly smile.
