MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 1401: Becoming a Spell Scribe (1)

”Ah, Ataraxia! Youʼve finally arrived.”

Whoosh!

Arriving at the Mage Guildʼs entrance, Valyr was immediately greeted by both Dalton and Rinea with smiles on their faces.

”I didnʼt take too long, did I?”

”Not at all.” Dalton shook his head. ”Youʼre right on time.”

Hearing those words, the young man smiled in return.

At the moment he received an update from the old man regarding the Spell Scribe subclass, Valyr showed no hesitation in heading to Astella City as soon as possible, using all the means available to him along the way.

Then again, with his stats already rivaling an average peak Rank 4 class holder, it did not take him too long to arrive at the guild, taking a bit less than a half-hour to get there.

”Just to confirm, you wanted to get the Spell Scribe subclass, right?” As the three made their way to where the person holding the subclass was, Rinea decided to ask Valyr the question thatʼs been weighing on her mind even before he arrived.

Though she didnʼt have any right to meddle in the young manʼs decisions on what subclass to take, she did find it odd that someone like him would choose a slightly niche subclass like Spell Scribe.

In her mind, she thought that Valyr would instead choose the more mainstream subclasses like Alchemist or Rune Carver.

Naturally, with the performance he showed during the Nine Prodigies of Astella tournament, she also felt that it was likely for him to choose subclasses that bolstered his spellcasting might even further.

Yet, against all expectations, the young man chose a subclass that was considered ʼwell-balancedʼ in both personal improvement and monetary gain.

”Yep.” Valyr nodded in response to Rineaʼs question, getting an idea of what she was thinking. ”Is there a problem with the subclass or anything?”

”Thatʼs not it.” Rinea shook his head as Dalton faintly smiled with amusement. ”I was just surprised that youʼd choose such a mundane subclass over the other choices Dalton gave you.”

”What can I say?” replied Valyr with a shrug, his mind hastily coming up with an excuse. ”The subclass gives me an opportunity to learn more about spells, after all.”

”Is that so?” asked Dalton after that, looking at the young man with a knowing smile.

In response, the young man returned a knowing smile of his own, understanding that he wouldnʼt be able to fool the old man beside him.

Nevertheless, with him not wanting to discuss his reasons behind choosing the subclass any further, both Dalton and Rinea chose to set the topic aside, instead talking about how the rewards from the tournament benefited the guild.

Unsurprisingly, Valyr was immediately left speechless once he heard how many rewards the guild had obtained from the tournament just because of his affiliation.

Thinking about how the Mage Guild only got half of the rewards due to them sharing with the Stelyra clan, the young man unknowingly began to shudder at the thought, only now realizing why the two were so adamant in roping him to their side.

ʼNow that just makes me fear what kind of rewards the ones affiliated to me would get once the Myriad Prodigies Tournament starts,ʼ thought Valyr to himself, continuing to listen to the two discuss their plans with the rewards.

By the time they were done, the three of them arrived at the northeast corner of the guild, where a man in his late twenties gave them a slight smile.

”Director, Vice Director, youʼre finally here,” said the man, giving both Dalton and Rinea a respectful half-bow.

After that, he shifted his gaze towards Valyr.

”Ataraxia, I presume?”

”That would be.” Valyr nodded in return. ”And you are?”

”Thaelis,” replied the man, extending his hand out for a handshake. ”Thaelis Aurgaun.”

Hearing those words, the young manʼs eyes slightly widened in surprise.

Then, after giving Dalton a brief glance, he went ahead and returned the handshake. ”Iʼll be under your tutelage, Thaelis.”

”Iʼll do my utmost to impart the intricacies of the Spell Scribe subclass to you,” said Thaelis in return, giving Valyr a kind smile.

After Dalton and Rinea talked with the man for a bit, the two soon left both of them to do their own things, with Dalton wishing Valyr the best of luck on obtaining the subclass.

”So…” Faintly smiling at the old manʼs well wishes, the young man soon shifted his attention back to Thaelis beside him. ”What now?”

”What else?” The man slightly chuckled in amusement.

”Letʼs get down to business.”

Whoosh!
