Chapter 22 :

Episode 5 : The Helpers (6)

A warning came from the system.

[The protesters who objected to the helpers, will get what they deserved.]

The message rang inside the player's heads. And soon, they were suffering from the painful headaches that were given to them by the helpers as a punishment for causing a commotion.

"And this is not all." Zircon added as she slowly tilted her head toward Turquoise.

Turquoise received her sister's order and began to chant something.

Her book that she once held, levitated above her head as magical energy from it, engulfed her entire body.

When she chanted, she uttered the words beautifully, words in which were incomprehensible for humans to understand.

During the short period of time, she completed her chanting and went on reading her book peacefully.

Everyone was left dumbfounded since they were expecting something bad to happen..

And they weren't wrong..

[The category ‘Class’ from the Status Window is deleted by the helper, ‘Turquoise’.]

When they heard the message, a ton of them gasped while the other cursed inside their minds because they didn't want to make things worse than it already was.

HwanGi was frustrated that he didn't even involve himself in the commotion but still got punished.

‘Damn those people..’ He cursed.

"Why are you surprised? This is a good thing~!" Tanzanite convinced them.

"If you have a class, you are only allowed to hold a weapon that is appropriate for your class and act as that class."

"However if you don't have a class, you can be you and easily level up."

Someone objected but tried his best not to anger Tanzanite. "But ‘classes’ tell us what we are suitable for!"

Tanzanite giggled as she explained. "What can a healer do if she or he can't fight to level up? Sure, you can be in a team but you won't get the shared experience."

"She's correct. Our ‘Creators’ did not add the 'Exp Share’ function in this system." Zircon backed her sister's statement.

"Although we will inform them about this problem, it might take a long time for this function to exist." Turquoise spoke and exhaled. "We are doing you a favor."

"This is a stupid excuse! So what if the ‘exp share’ function doesn't exist? That doesn't mean you can get rid of ‘Class’!" Said a person.

Tanzanite who was giggling in the background, stopped suddenly and stared at that person. "Because we think it's unnecessary. Don't you dare question our actions, mere humans."

Half of the players were taken aback by the once cheerful Tanzanite to a dead serious Tanzanite.

"Anyway, are there more questions you want to ask us~?" Tanzanite reverted back to her happy self when she talked.

A blonde girl raised her hand to attract the helpers attention.

"Yes, you!" Tanzanite pointed at her while Zircon was looking at the girl with great interest.

"What are these people in this world?" The girl was indicating about the people who lived in this world-line.

"Think of them as NPCs. They understood the situation you are in, so they'll help you in your adventures." Zircon explained.

The girl was satisfied by the answer so she thanked the helpers.

"Wow! What a kind girl~!" Tanzanite complimented as she clapped her hands once with a smile on her face.

"Time is really not on our sides. Dear sisters, it is almost time for us to go." Zircon mentioned.

"Aww.." Tanzanite pouted while mumbling.

Turquoise watched her and sighed. "Don't get too attached to them."

"Hey! Who said I would?!"

"Dear sisters, let's finish this." Zircon interrupted them before they could start another argument.

"Very well." Turquoise agreed before telling the players. "You have 2 and a half days to complete your personal quest."

"Those quests will be distributed to everyone when we leave. Not to worry, the quests won't have any death penalty as a failure, however the rewards will be unbelievable." Tanzanite trying her absolute best to be cheerful, informed them.

After that, the angels disappeared without a trace, leaving only the dumbfounded players to idly stand there.

Until a message arrived just in time to snap the players wide wake.

[You have been given a quest by the ‘Helpers’!]

———

"You must concentrate, JoonChul!" Raiden instructed me.

"Yes, teacher!" I responded quickly as I panted from having to train all day.

After realizing that a katana appeared out of nowhere in my grasp.

Raiden and Mirai told me that I shouldn't be afraid of that sword, even though I could tell that they, themselves didn't know about this since their faces were covered with confusion.

A blade was swinging to my right and I swiftly blocked it with my black katana.

"Good one!" Raiden praised me.

The warmth of being praised was making me smile shyly.

And when I finally took the courage to attack him, something disturbed me..

[The category ‘Class’ from the Status Window is deleted by the helper, ‘Turquoise’.]

‘Who is a helper..? Turquoise?’ My face was filled with bewilderment after reading the message.

Raiden was puzzled as to why I didn't attack him, but took this chance to hit my head with his katana's hilt.

Raiden questioned me as he slowly slid his katana inside the scabbard. "JoonChul. What is on your mind? Are you still thinking about your katana?"

I used that as an excuse and replied to his question. "Yes. I'm sorry for that, teacher."

A sigh was exhaled from Raiden's lips before he looked at me, straight in the eyes and spoke. "Since you can't concentrate while we practice. Let's take a little break."

"Is that really okay?"

"A clear mind is better than a cloudy mind. So take a break."

I tried to reach out my hand to him when he ran out of the hallway in an instance. But he was gone before I could catch him.

Although, it wasn't a bad timing for him to leave since I had a lot in my mind as of right now.

Like.. What does that message mean? ‘Class’ deleted..?

‘Status.’ I opened my status window to see if the message was true.

There used to be ‘Class’ underneath the ‘Age’, but I couldn't find it anymore.

‘There is a person who can delete something like this?’
