User Manual for the Reincarnated 084

Third Job (10)

I could roughly understand why Park Deok-gu had lied.

During the expedition, he must have consulted with Kim Hyun-sung and Seon Hee-young about the new jobs he gradually obtained, and it's highly likely that he told them everyone had gotten hero-level jobs.

I don't know how poorly he performed during the expedition, but he definitely felt a sense of inferiority.

In particular, the existence of Kim Ye-ri, who could be classified as a genius, must have been quite a shock to Park Deok-gu.

'Potential Legend and above.'

This isn't limited to just stats.

If the level of the Eye of the Heart were to rise, I could learn more, but even without seeing it, I can tell that Kim Ye-ri has an incredible potential.

Considering how well she performed in the Garden of Fear, it's natural that she has grown to a level I can't even imagine in this dungeon. Park Deok-gu must have seen geniuses right next to him.

Geniuses are a different kind of human.

They are the kind of people who can do in a few decades what others can't achieve no matter how hard they try.

I've seen many people called geniuses, even though I haven't lived for a long time.

'Not just on Earth...'

It's the same here.

There are people with abilities that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people all around.

Jeong Hyeon, who casually casts high-level magic and uses spells I can't understand.

Seon Hee-young, who hasn't shown a standout performance yet but has a potential of Legendary and above in divine abilities and maintains the party's center with her unique calmness.

Kim Ye-ri, whom Kim Hyun-sung personally brought from the slums, and the reincarnated person who feels that even the term 'genius' is insufficient.

'...'

In fact, it's an absurd lineup.

Each member of the party has a potential that can be called genius, making Kim Hyun-sung's party a unique one.

Of course, Park Deok-gu can also be classified as the type of person who can rise to the top, but I think he felt a lot during the expedition.

'Monster.'

Even Huang Jeong-yeon said she felt self-loathing when she saw Jeong Hyeon.

No matter what, his choice was quite unexpected.

Considering Park Deok-gu's personality, it's probably correct to assume that he lied hastily without realizing it in a desperate situation, but I was more worried about his mental state.

After I got a unique hero-level job, I felt a bit sorry for him.

He must feel that he's falling behind in the party.

"The job I got this time is an Archmage."

"Really?"

"Yes. It increases my mana and affinity with all types of elements. Not just elemental magic, but all kinds of magic. Hehe. I can use magic more efficiently and I've gained advanced magic knowledge. It's not that great yet, though..."

"Good job."

"Ah, my mana stat is now 69! Big brother."

"Great, Hyeon. It's a big increase."

"My intelligence is 62."

"Great."

"Hyun-sung said that stats usually rise to 70. Like how Hee-young's stats were high even though she didn't go hunting much."

'That's probably only true for people like you.'

In fact, my and Park Deok-gu's main stats are in the low 60s.

Seeing him talk about his growth made me feel a bit awkward, as if he was asking for a reward for his hard work, but it's definitely something to nod at.

The stronger she gets, the safer I become.

Of course, the opposite could happen, but for now, the direction of her growth isn't bad. Habitually looking at Jeong Hyeon, information about her job appeared.

[Archmage - Hero Level]

[This is a job given to those who have the minimum qualifications to explore the truth of mana. Mana increases by 5, and affinity with all types of mana increases. There is no known information about jobs that can be advanced to.]

'Good.'

I could clearly see the direction of her growth.

It's a plain name, but it suits Jeong Hyeon well.

It's much better than jobs like Blood Mage, Executioner Mage, or Mad Archmage.

In a sense, Jeong Hyeon is on the orthodox path.

Of course, this isn't just about Jeong Hyeon.

The same goes for Kim Hyun-sung.

I don't know the direction of his future growth, but it seems he is avoiding the purest form of a swordsman.

[Advanced Swordsmanship Practitioner - Hero Level]

[This is a job for those who practice to master the art of swordsmanship. Strength increases by 3, agility by 2, and mana by 1.]

There's no need to read any further. The fact that he chose a hero-level job shows the answer.

For Kim Hyun-sung, this level of job is just a stepping stone.

There's no need to reiterate how important jobs are in this world.

If he were just an ordinary adventurer, he wouldn't make such a choice.

While we were talking and forcing food down our throats.

Kim Hyun-sung's voice was heard again.

"Ye-ri got the job of a Tracker."

"Tracker?"

"Yes."

"I thought it would be good because it's a type of archer and she can handle small to medium weapons like daggers and swords. Since Ye-ri has balanced stats, focusing on agility and mana will give her more options in the future."

'With no stats below Hero level.'

"We won't have to worry about getting lost."

"Yes, that's right. It was a chronic problem in our party. Oh, and Hee-young got the job of a High Judge, and her divine power increased significantly. Deok-gu also got a job related to tanking."

At Kim Hyun-sung's words, I glanced at Seon Hee-young, and her job name immediately appeared in my vision.

[High Judge of the Dark Priest - Hero Level]

It seems Kim Hyun-sung didn't give a detailed explanation. Nodding slightly, Seon Hee-young also nodded.

It looks like an evolved version of the Dark Priest, so it's not bad, but it seems she hasn't mentioned anything about attack spells besides divine spells.

Regardless, the party is growing quite smoothly.

Except for Park Deok-gu's slightly embarrassed expression, there's no real problem.

Actually, Park Deok-gu isn't a problem either. The growth of the others is just exceptional, but Park Deok-gu's growth is also impressive.

He has the kind of specs and potential that would be welcomed anywhere.

'I should talk to him once...'

It's natural not to mention this in front of the whole team.

I don't want to reveal that I can see stats, and it's not right to provoke Park Deok-gu's inferiority complex in such a place.

'Comparing yourself to a genius is the stupidest thing you can do.'

It might be a bit cruel, but I wish he would realize this.

It would be more helpful to reach a mutual understanding.

The conversation continued in a slightly heavy atmosphere, but the topics gradually became lighter.

Stories about embarrassing mistakes in the dungeon and my time spent locked in my room.

I just nodded when I heard that Jeong Hyeon cried every day, and I burst out laughing as expected when I heard that Kim Hyun-sung saved the party in a crisis.

Even Kim Ye-ri, who doesn't show much emotion, smiled slightly, and the voices were gradually getting louder.

Then, the guild door opened with a creak.

The main characters were the crazy old man, Lee Seol-ho, and the Blue Guild's deputy master, Lee Sang-hee.

They entered the guild with very serious expressions.

"I'll prepare a meeting right away. Please gather all the officers who are in the guild."

"All of them?"

"Yes, there are no exceptions. Please gather everyone. The meeting will be held in my personal office. How many parties are currently in the guild?"

"I believe it's all of the 2nd squad."

"7th squad returned this morning. Mr. Hyun-sung, Mr. Gi-yeong."

"Then please send Hyun-sung and Gi-yeong up as well."

"Do they really have to...?"

"No, gather everyone. It's a guild matter."

"Yes, I understand."

'What is it?'

Even at a glance, the atmosphere is serious.

Lee Sang-hee, who always showed a kind and motherly face, looked very pale, and the crazy old man's face was filled with worry.

I don't know exactly what's happening, but the fact that the guild's executives are making such faces is enough to predict the severity of the situation.

"Please go up first. I'll join you shortly."

"Yes, thank you, Seol-ho."

"Yes."

The regular guild members who are not part of a party are hurriedly going up to the guild.

They are probably on their way to call Huang Jeong-yeon.

The 2nd squad of Blue lives on the fourth floor.

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Gi-yeong, please go up."

"Ah... Yes."

"Yes."

The pleasant atmosphere was instantly ruined.

Lee Seol-ho gave a slight nod in my direction. I don't like the way he wiggles his fingers, but I need to hear what's happening first.

"Everyone else can have personal time until we return. Actually, it might be better to get some rest."

"Yes."

"Got it."

'What is it?'

All sorts of thoughts are running through my mind.

Looking at the people hurriedly packing their bags makes it even more so.

The murmurs of the regular guild members are getting louder, and many are silently arming themselves.

Various voices are heard, but it seems they don't know the details either.

"Mr. Kim Hyun-sung, Mr. Lee Gi-yeong. The deputy master is currently in a meeting..."

"We know. We're going up now."

"What's going on?"

"Ah, I, I don't know exactly..."

The receptionist, who is late in delivering the news, hurriedly bowed and ran out of the guild.

Rushing to Lee Sang-hee's office, we saw armed guards opening the door, and Kim Hyun-sung and I hurriedly went inside.

"Is everyone here?"

"Yes, it seems so."

In front of us was Lee Sang-hee.

And Huang Jeong-yean, the crazy old man, and his three lackeys.

The two administrative officers, whom I had only seen before, were also there.

'Is this all? Is this real?'

The number of officers from a guild that once represented the free city of Lindel was absurdly small.

"Mr. Gi-yeong, Mr. Hyun-sung. Please take a seat. I have some bad news to share."

I still didn't know what was happening. Seeing the serious faces of the officers made me feel a bit intimidated, but Kim Hyun-sung, who seemed calm, looked like he had a rough idea.

'Does he know?'

The calculation was quick. Recalling why we came to Blue, the answer was clear.

'He knows.'

Kim Hyun-sung knows why this situation has unfolded.

The reason he chose Blue after rejecting many large guilds.

Lee Sang-hee, the deputy master, was about to speak about the reason.
