"Wizard."
"Umm..."
"W-Why not Commander..."
Both of them reacted pretty similarly.
Park Deokgu looked really disappointed. Kim Hyunsung was obviously a little dejected, but otherwise didn't seem to think it was a bad decision.
Although an [Archer]'s ability to use bows was very attractive, my low agility wouldn't allow me to utilise it well. I didn't know if changes could happen in the future, but right now my ability stat had little potential for growth.
There was no point in forcing myself to do something that didn't suit me.
Naturally, even if I had chosen [Archer] and became a [Thief] later on, I would still have to worry about this very same thing.
In fact, the same could be said about the [Wizard] class. I already knew that I wasn't going to be a skilled magic user, but...
'I have to take advantage of my strengths.'
I figured that the best path forward would be to make use of my high intelligence. Considering the various ways this class could branch out, there had to be a class where high mana wasn't a barrier to growth.
"May I ask why you chose Wizard?"
I shook my head slightly, and said,
"Just a hunch."
I had no other choice.
Even if I had chosen [Commander], I would've only gained 1 extra stat point.
Gaining a three point boost to mana, which was still uncharted territory to me, seemed like a boon in comparison.
"I see."
He seemed to have been convinced.
I felt a little bitter. If only he could see my growth potential, he would know there was no hope for me.

[Due to the effect of the class, the mana stat increased by 3 points.]

[Overview: You're still hopeless. But I applaud you for getting a class. Selecting [Wizard] may well be a very good choice for you. If you hadn't, it would be difficult to feel magic given your talent. The extra 3 points of mana may look promising, but I recommend that you don't raise your hopes on being a good Wizard. You will only be left with disappointment.]
'This son of a bitch...'
For some reason the overview message didn't criticize my choice as much as I thought it would.
It was still insulting, but at least I got an approving nod for learning to use mana.
There were many changes to my status window.
