Vol. 10 - Chapter 487 - The road to advanced dungeons open with the tag team of Combat job and Production jobs only!
As I revealed the member for 6th ticket, the guild room was stirred with everyone's murmuring.
Hannah was still sporting her astounded expression, failing to catch up as she had treated the matter relevant to herself all this while. Oh wait. Cracks were slowly emerging on her expression, so I guess the reality is finally sinking in her.
"Zephyr, Hannah is from a production job. So I believe you have a reason for that, right?"
As Sierra questioned, the murmur died down a bit. I could infer many meanings from their expressions. After all, there had been almost no relevance for choosing a production job for job advancement.
The essential use of advanced production jobs comes when there were material from advanced dungeons to work on. But since this world had yet to break the ice on advanced dungeons, it was a wasteful idea to push for.
One prospective premise was that there had to be a plethora of advanced combat jobs first of all, which could bring out the resources for production jobs to work on. Furthermore, it wasn't impossible for basic production jobs to work on materials up to Advanced-low dungeons. Though the demerit being the obvious lower quality, higher failure chances and subpar performance of the end product.
So basically the idea of job's promotion for production job was a bizarre one for the people of this world. Sierra's question pertained that 'then why?'.
"I'm sorry, Hannah. The reaction might come out as weird."
"You don't have to, Sierra-san. It's all right, so please don't lower your head! I am just as surprised if anything, so I know why you asked that. Zephyr-kun does have the habit to talk some strange nonsense."
"That hurts, Hannah."
Your bewilderment is obvious you know, Hannah? Also, damn. She so nonchalantly dissed me. Well, it's Hannah so she has the pass.
"I know where you're coming from, Sierra. But before I begin, you do recognise that Hannah's help would be required for a hitchfree exploration of the advanced dungeons, right? The advanced job would help out in many scenarios as support."
"Well...... I know that, but."
"I guess it wouldn't do without an explanation huh."
The members have understood the reasoning but advanced jobs were always the apple of everyone's sky so it might still feel unconvincing.
"Starting with basic theory, the norm is for advanced jobs to deal with the materials from advanced dungeons."
<Alchemist>. Hannah's job. The job comes with extremely useful stuff like mass production to keep the supply of items.
We would be obtaining materials in the advanced dungeon as well. Hannah would be able to utilise them to create more high-tier items, which would proportionally make our exploration safe.
Frankly, the foundation that these people assumed for advanced dungeons in itself was a shaky one. Who goes around challenging advanced dungeons with low tier equipment?
When it comes to advanced dungeons, advanced jobs are a must. The same goes for equipment that could make life much easier, and the items were cherry on the top.
I fervently explained everything.
"You're right, combat jobs are always the centrepiece for advanced dungeons. But the exploration is also supported by production jobs. It's as simple as you can't just have one and expect everything to turn out smooth. It was a game of balance that you must adhere to, it's what I believe. ---So, Hannah's rank up was absolutely essential. She would be the clutch for exploration!"
As I explained my thoughts fervently, the guild room was again engulfed into a silence.
E-Eh, did I speak too excitedly?
It was just my needless worry. Sierra exhaled and said to me, her expression loosened.
"......It does make sense. I knew I was right to ask you first."
"T-Thanks, I guess?"
The sudden exchange left me slightly perplexed. Hannah, too, nodded 'yes-yes' in agreement with a beaming face.
"Fufu, It's Zephyr-kun we're talking about after all. I always believe him."
Hey now, who was the one who casually dissed me earlier? Well, sure that was a moment of confusion and I had already forgiven her so not that I was gonna say it outright.
Soon, the air softened down and the guild room regained its tranquilness.
"Well, this is why he's our leader after all."
"I know, right. Ah, your explanation, filled with your passion, was fantastic, Zephyr-san."
"Tahaha~, advanced dungeons really do feel like any other dungeon when you hear Zephyr-san. If anything, that's the actual scary stuff~."
Mert, Rina and Misato expressed their impressions.
I didn't get it but it seemed like I managed to move (?) their heart. Maybe there must have been subtleties that the residents of this world could pick up better.
Anyway, it was all cool now. Everything that needed to be discussed was done, so time to wrap up.
I clapped my hands and brought everyone's attention to myself.
"I'm glad that I managed to cross through y'all. It doesn't seem like we have any conflicting opinions so let's end the meeting. Also, this isn't the end for our grind for tickets, so you will all have the chance too. So work hard to get the early chance."
Nico seemed to have muttered "Are you sure your actual job isn't work-a-holic demon, Brave-kun?" I ignored her and announced the end of the meeting.
"Also, the aforementioned five members do stay behind. I would like to sort out the schedule."
"I'm curious what it's about, but my feeling is telling otherwise."
La~la, I think Sierra just said something?
The other members left, and now, there were just me, Lana, Ester, Sierra, Karua and Hannah in the guild.
So, what do you mean by schedule, Zephyr?"
Lana asked, leaning forward. Hehe, not so quick.
"Of course, since it's about job change basically, we need to clear the conditions to. Our target would be...high-ranking advanced jobs!"
