As for the restrictions on my Jobs and their possible combination, there are a few of them. I cannot get rid of the Explorer Job because I absolutely need it because of its Party Formation Skill, and pretty much the same goes for the Hero and Mage Jobs: their Skills and bonuses are simply too good for me to pass up. Monk Job is. . . yeah, I better leave it on as well, just in case that either me, Roxanne or Sherry ever suffered some unexpected damage and needed express healing to get ourselves back on our feet. So in case that I would pick the Fifth Jo0b Bonus Skill that allows me to have up to five Jobs equipped at once, I can choose between Alchemist, Cook and Sex Maniac depending on what my Party would need at the current moment. See, that is what I meant when I was saying that this is an extravagant problem to have: I have so many Jobs available and so many potential builds to try, but I simply do not have the time to test them all out, even if I keep telling to myself that I will test them all out later (TL Note: Much like zoomers and their first world problems like: not having 24/7 internet access or that there is no kebab-serving joint in their neighborhood, huh?) while other people who live in this world have no choice and have to make do in their daily lives while having only a single Job as the one that they have to use. . . . *sigh* I guess my desire as a human being really is nigh-insatiable, and not only the sexual one.
Just like I was planning, I am going to go with Alchemist as my Fifth Job for now in order to protect Sherry with Plating, but later I am definitely going to check out how the boosts from Sex Maniac are going to improve my performance. And by the way, if I were to remove Explorer as my First Job now, then the Party that I formed with Roxanne and Sherry would naturally end up getting disbanded and I would lose the access to my Item Box, but since Cook also has access to it, then maybe there actually would be a way for me to circumvent that demerit and experiment with the possible Job combinations some more.
「Okay, is everyone ready?」
「Yes, I am ready.」
「Ready whenever you are, master!」
「Okay, let us be off then.」
After receiving confirmation from both Sherry and Roxanne, we were ready to go to the Labyrinth. Since this is the early morning, then we are going to start with our usual routine of going to the Vale Labyrinth first.
「Master, this place is. . . 」
Roxanne asked me when we got out of the Warp portal.
「The first floor of the Veil Labyrinth, where we are going to be doing our warp-up exercise.」
「Warp-up. . . exercise?」
「Yeah. I want to see Sherry’s fighting style with my own eyes and determine the exact extent of your fighting abilities, so while on this floor, I am going to be fighting with magic which I will use to weaken the opponents so that she could have an easier time finishing them off.」
As expected of Roxanne, she was able to tell that this was not the seventh floor by its smell alone, so I explained my motives to her as she was looking around suspiciously.
「That being said, can I ask you to keep the monsters in check so that it would be easier for Sherry to simply focus on attacking them?」
「I see. I understand, I will do my best to support her!」
「You heard that, Sherry? While we are on this floor of the Labyrinth, you will be in charge of dispatching the monsters while Roxanne and I will only weaken them for you. Think you are up to the task?」
「Y-Yes, I am going to do everything in my power to meet your expectations, master!」
「Great. Roxanne, can you locate the first group of enemies for us?」
「Already done that. The monsters are this way, master, Sherry!」
We went Ahead, and while we were making our way towards the first group of Needlewoods, I mad sufficient adjustments to my Stats and Skills so that I could use my magic to weaken the enemies instead of one-shotting them on the spot. That way, even though my Fireballs and Fire Storms were reaching their targets, I was certain that they would leave them at about half of their total HP, which was more than enough for Sherry to show us what she was really made of. All that is left for me to do now is to match my pace with that of Roxanne and Sherry, and cover their backs while they were dealing with the enemies on the front lines. The surviving monsters divided themselves so that one was heading towards Roxanne, and the other jumped at Sherry, but before its attack was able to hit her, she swung her club and hit the Needlewood right in its midsection, sending it flying backwards as if she just scored a homerun during the baseball game. Wow Sherry, what a tremendous blow that was! If I was to be hit by something like that, then I am pretty sure that most of the bones in my body would have ended up broken into tiny pieces.
Not to far away from Sherry, Roxanne was fighting with the other Needlewood while avoiding its wrathful strikes, which was like a piece of cake for her. When it comes to the enemies from the first floors of the Labyrinths, I would dare to hazard a guess that she was probably able to fight with them and avoid their attacks with her eyes closed. She was doing that until Sherry came to her from the side and delivered another powerful strike to the second Needlewood, taking advantage of how it wobbled forward when it missed its attack at Roxanne and the momentum sent it stumbling forward. I have to say, so far, these two make a pretty good team. If that is how Sherry handles the monsters from the first floor of the Labyrinth, then she probably will not have any difficulties with the enemies residing on the higher floors. Roxanne and Sherry. . . . . with them acting as the vanguard of our Party, no monster will stand a chance against them.
「Still no luck, huh?」
I muttered to myself when I opened the Party Settings menu in order to check if killing these two monsters was enough for Sherry. Unfortunately, it was still not enough, and the Job of Master Smith continued to elude her. But if defeating a monster with a club or a hammer was still not enough, then what the condition we are missing here might be? Maybe one of the requirements is to have your Villager Job at Lv.5 as well?
「What is it, master? Did I do something wrong? Was my performance not to your liking?」
「N-No, not at all! You did great Sherry! What I said just now was not directed at you or anyone else in particular. It was just me thinking out loud, that is all. But I have to say, both of your attacks in that battle were pretty incredible. For the next few battles though, I would like to see how you fight with using different weapons, like spears, for example.」
Damn, once again I was talking to myself, and my careless comment got misinterpreted.
For the next few encounters, I had Sherry fight the monsters of the first floor while using weapons such as Copper Spear, Copper Sword and even her bare hands, but no matter how many enemies she managed to defeat with those different weapons, she still did not unlock any other Jobs. However, Swordsman and Monk are the Jobs that require Villager to be at Lv.5 before they could be aquired, so it is still going to be a bit more time before we are going to see Sherry getting her hands on them.
「Ow! Ugh. . . !」
Right now, Sherry was fighting the Needlewood with her bare hands, so it was taking her more time than when she was equipped with proper weaponry. And since the battle was starting to take a bit long, Sherry began to be hit by the Needlewood’s attacks, even though most of those hits were due to mistimed dodges and near misses, but she ultimately managed to emerge victorious from that battle without Roxanne having to swoop in to save the day.
「Are you all right, Sherry?」
I asked her when the battle was over.
