[hr] The receptionist smiles as she watches each of the twelve gain their respective classes. The pure white colors of their auras shift to a specific selection of colors. Red for the warriors, blue for the magicians, green for the rogues, and purple for the gunsmen. These earthly souls weren't just regular adventurers, not only did their auras give off a clear color but there was some sort of glint. Another layer of aura that distorts the image of their auras, it was a blessing. With a sudden realization, The Receptionist suddenly knew what Aloe had meant by 'special'. Adventurers usually had soft tones of color, untouched and pure but these souls were much more-- as if they were handmade. With a stifled laugh, she jumps over the counter with no effort, lightly landing against the wooden floorboards as she walks towards the group with a much more emphasized stride. She dons her eyes upon the group, a collection of souls with curiosity and confusion blanketing their thoughts so once again she spoke, “Another is your title, in honor of the otherworldly aura you twelve give off and the foreign souls you present to Akohana. “ She winks, walking over towards Aloe as she wraps her arms around the man, “If you wouldn’t mind, I’m going to give them a tour. “ With a sly wink, she pushes herself off the small man, “Follow me please~! “ She motions towards the group as she heads for the stairs of the second floor. The Receptionist leads the twelve down a set of stairs that lead to the first floor. They entered a large circular room sporting windows of great size, they were translucent and held a green and yellow color that let light dance through onto the dusty wooden floors of the room. From above was a singular crystal chandelier that hung from the middle of the ceiling, the crystals lucent, reflecting light across the floor. “Hmph, the training area hasn’t been much of use lately. Adventurers are always off, fending against the darkness that almost none of them have time to be here. It’s sad really, sometimes the greatest of warriors I meet are in here… it’s been ages since I’ve seen a new group. “ She walks towards the middle of the room, standing under the chandelier as she turns with a sweet smile tinged with sorrow. Her eyes focus onto the twelve, looking at the blessing that wrapped around their auras, she hoped that it would allow them to succeed and survive where others had failed. Giving herself a push of encouragement her eyes close and then open again, this time with a determined look. “Adventurers from another world. Interesting. “ She chuckles, “Knowing that you all have almost zero knowledge of the world you reside in, this will be tough. So I suggest that you all occasionally visit me and I will personally teach you the ins and outs of this ‘unknown’ world. But first Guild regulation demands me to teach you the very basics of adventuring. So after this, you may choose to leave with Aloe or stay for an extra-long history lesson. “ She laughs, winking towards the group. “First there are the four classes. Warrior of who dominates the frontlines, magicians who offer utility and explosive firepower from the backline. Rogue who weaves in and out of the conflict to take out key targets, and finally the gunsmen who can offer additional support and damage from the distance. These four classes are dictated upon the usage of stamina and mana, the two energies that are the most prevalent in Akohana. Stamina is aligned with strength, vigor, and endurance which relate to the three classes, warrior, rogue, and gunsmen. While mana only aligns to the magicians. “ “These classes wield the power of two crystals, Mana and Stamina, to perform skills which are attacks embedded with one of the two energies. The more powerful a skill, the more energy it consumes, and the more exhausting it will be to use consecutively. But if you exhaust all your energy your body simply stops and becomes paralyzed you’d then have to wait for an hour for your energy to regen. Beginning adventurers always make this mistake and are the cause of their fatalities, I urge you to be careful for what skills you use and how you use them as they may be the cause of your death. “ “Hmph-- aside from that grim note you can learn skills from others if they are the same class as you or if the skill is simply a utility skill. By simply watching the casting process you are able to learn the ability and use what is known as skill points, which you earn by leveling up and killing monsters to learn the skill. “ “Skills are activated in many different ways. For stamina and mana based classes, skills can be casted be verbally casted or focused. Verbal casting is simply speaking the skills name to activate it, while focus casting requires you to imagine the skill, drawing on more energy in exchange for allowing you to use skills silently and at greater potency. For example. “ “ [Enflame] “ A ball of fire would form in the middle of her palm and just as quickly as it was casted it disappears. “And then, “ She closed her eyes, “I think of a torch. Remove the handle, and then I think of its flame finally you have… “ [Enflame] From her palm once again was another ball of fire, though this time it was noticeably larger than the previous one, burning brightly until it disappeared after a few seconds of it being casted. “Be wise enough to know when to use these types of castings. Verbal casting is light and easy to use but reveals what action you are going to perform while focus casting is a smidgen longer and is potent but takes more energy. Balancing these two types of castings will allow you to become a better adventurer. “ “Now that you know the very basics I expect you all to remember them and use this knowledge to your full advantage. Stay safe, stay smart, and make sure Aloe didn’t choose incorrectly, alright?“ The receptionist winked at them one more time, regaining her more friendly, relaxed demeanor, before bringing them over to one side of the training hall, where a wide variety of weapons were stored. None of them looked new, of course, but the blades looked sharp, the armors looked polished, and above all… “We don’t do this for most new adventurers, but seeing how Aloe’s investing, feel free to grab whatever you’d like from here for your equipment. They’re nothing special, but they’re sturdy enough to last you through your starting career as adventurers, so long as you take good care of them. And, hey, may as well take this chance to test out your skills as well.” She gestured vaguely towards the many straw dummies that littered the area. “Just don’t exhaust yourself or cause any accidents, y’hear?” [hr] Your character card flashes and within the list of skills on your character card a skill named, [i]Enflame[/i] is written in gray text.
