Volume 11 Chapter 5 Part 2

Wizard Lv.1
Effects: Increase INT (intermediate), Increase MP (small), Increase in SPI (tiny), Increase END (tiny)
Skills: 「Intermediate Fire Magic」, 「Intermediate Water Magic」, 「Intermediate Wind Magic」, 「Intermediate Earth Magic」,「Basic Thunder Magic」,「Basic Ice Magic」

The effects of the Job become much better when it transitions from a low-tier Job into an intermediate-level Job after all. And now I also have access to the magic of the Intermediate level.

I was under the impression that a Wizard is going to be an advanced Job of a Mage, but could it be that it is actually only an intermediate Job? It must be so, since all of the magic Skills that I unlocked with it are prefixed not with the word 「Advanced」but 「Intermediate」instead. Also, even though I have all these new Skills, they did not tell me the names of the Spells that I can use thanks to them, so that is more than a little unkind of them.

「Sherry, do you know exactly what kind of Spells a Wizard uses?」

Whenever I am in trouble, Sherry is surely going to remedy them, so I ask her about that immediately.

「Hmm, yes. If I remember correctly, Wizard should have access to the following six types of Spells: Burn, Aqua, Wind, Dirt, Ice and Thunder.」
So she does know about them. As expected of Sherry, my handy walking encyclopedia.

「Thank you. Are there any Jobs that are higher than the Wizard?」

「There is a theory that there is, but it is based on a legend, so no one knows for sure.」

「And what kind of Spells does that legendary Job uses?」

「Nobody knows that either.」

Well, since it is based on a legend, then that was to be expected. But since Wizard is a Job that uses intermediate-level magic, then there has to be a Job that uses advanced-level magic somewhere out there, without a doubt.

Or maybe there is no such thing, and Mage really does not have an advanced Job? I do not know all that much about magic, so I cannot say for sure. But even if the advanced version of the Mage Job really existed, then what about finding out which Spells that Job would be using.

Since 「Beginner Wind Magic」 had Breeze Spells and 「Intermediate Wind Magic」 has Wind Spells, then maybe 「Advanced Wind Magic」 is going to have tornado-based Spells? I don’t know about any other types of magic though.

Well, if I ever manage to obtain that Job, then the only thing left to do will be to try out all the different options by trial & error.

「So Ice and Thunder are the types of Spells used by the Ice Magic and Thunder Magic respectively, right?」

「That is right. Both of them are special types of Spells as well. Ice Magic seems to be effective against the monsters that are weak to both Water Magic and Earth Magic. In other words, unless you have resistance to both the Water and the Earth Magic, you won’t be able to reduce the damage dealt to you by the Ice Magic.」

The Ice Magic seems to combine both the Water and the Earth types of magic. Does that mean that being solid is the characteristic of Earth Magic?

Since the monsters match their strengths and weaknesses to form groups, it will prove to be quite useful. Even if they are not weak against any attribute, it won’t be possible for them to have resistances to both types of magic.

「I see.」

「As for the Thunder Magic, while it is not a weakness of any of the monsters, it is a special attribute that none of them is resistant to. In addition, there is a chance of getting inflicted with paralysis if you get hit by the Thunder Magic. It is this characteristic that makes it an excellent type of magic to use against your enemies.」

In that case, Thunder Magic is perhaps going to be the most suitable type of magic for me.

The reason being, I have Jobless Job and I can use multiple Jobs at the same time, so if I set Thunder Magic as the Skill of Jobless Job, I should be able to cast two Spells at the same time.

Won’t that make my chances of paralyzing the enemies doubled? And even if that will not work, casting the Spells alternately one after the other should do too I think.

Moreover, I may be able to complement it with the 「Status Ailment Chance Up」Skill of the Assassin Job.

This might be so fun to do. I look forward to trying it out tomorrow.

The problem, however, is the Jobs which I should be using.

Because Adventurer is currently at low level, I can’t afford to set another Job as my First Job, and with my current setup, it will be difficult to squeeze Gambler and Assassin Jobs anywhere.

I can also cast three consecutive magic Spells with the combination of Jobless, Mage and Wizard Jobs.

Fantastic. This is proving to be quite attractive.

Whether I should give up Adventurer or Explorer or Priest or Hero, I have to think it through.

Mage can’t use Lightning magic. If I set Thunder Magic as the Skill of the Jobless Job, even setting Wizard as a First Job will no longer be a problem for me.

Should I give up Explorer then? I mean, both Explorer and Mage are Lv.50 now. Since it was difficult to increase the level beyond Lv.30 and Lv.40, it would be even more so to bring them both beyond Lv.50.

The difference between levels of Explorer and Mage shouldn’t be that wide. Even if Explorer reached Lv.51 earlier, a difference of one Bonus Point would not be fatal.

However, won’t it be problematic during the verification of the Intelligence Card? If I remove Explorer, I will have to put the items in the Item Box of Adventurer. In that case, I won’t be able to set Adventurer as First Job during the verification.

Because Explorer can easily be set as a First Job, there’s no need to remove it now.

If it wasn’t for Adventurer, I wouldn’t feel the difference whether it was Explorer or Mage.

I wonder when will the time come when I can stick my chest with pride as an Adventurer during the verification of the Intelligence Card.

「Is it used the same way — Ball, Storm and Wall — as before?」

「Yes, I have heard that it can use those three types of magic, just like the Mage Job.」

So there is no variation in this regard, huh?

「Uhm, master? Could it be…?」

Looks like Sherry already has a pretty good idea of what she should be expecting.

「That is right, I managed to obtain the Wizard Job for myself.」

「As expected of master!」

Roxanne praised me very enthusiastically.

「That is amazing.」

Sherry was also quite impressed.

Right? Right? Am I amazing or what?
「With this, we can definitely continue on to the higher floors right away!」

「I see. Master obtaining the Wizard Job is definitely a surprise, but with it, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that masters battle potential has went up a notch yet again, so now might be the right time to go to the higher floors.」

Geh.

And now the two of them have gotten themselves tangled in a huge misunderstanding.

I already said that I have a draft of what we should be doing, remember? I said that, but now they are acting as if I did not say anything.

「N-No. I think it is still too early for that. I think it would be best if we did not go to the higher floors now and waited with it for a bit, since I want to save up as much of my strength as possible for them. There are other reasons as well, but for the time being, I want us to stay on the 44th floor without going up.」

I might have reached Lv.50 as both Explorer and Mage, but going further with them is still miles away, since increasing their levels even further is definitely going to take more time than before.

And more importantly, since I have only just now won the chance to stay on the 44th floor for a bit longer, it would be a waste to throw such a chance at a breather away just because Roxanne wants to keep advancing. The way I see it, we can stay here for a while, since the 44th floor should be good enough for us for a while now.
