Olympia : Expansion Arc

Chapter 3

Percy was lounging on one of his favourite spots in the city. A viewpoint on top of a hill overlooking most of the city.

The starry night lit up his surroundings dimly, along with the glow of the moon. Percy had always enjoyed this spot. The smell of sea breeze and the sounds of the forest had always calmed his nerves.

Percy read the Maestro class's description.

Apparently its a class that functions the most in team battles, more specifically on five versus five situations or raids. The more people in their team, the better. Maestros specialize in being the tacticians, strategists, masterminds, coordinators, and all of the above. It's almost like they "conduct" what happens on the battlefield. Hence the name, Maestro. As in the conductor in a musical orchestra.

Maestro has spells that focuses on area of effect spells, or AoE. They can deal damage to massive amounts of enemies or heal and buff any allies within an area of their choosing. Spells like Crescendo and Final Sonata are made to deal with large amounts of enemies. While some spells like Healing Sonata heals all of their allies for an insane amount of HP.

And you wonder why Maestro was left in the Expansion of Olympia. The Support role wasn't known for being the most fun role to play but with a class like this, people would convert to Maestro.

This class would be perfect for Annabeth, considering she's the captain of Minerva. Being someone who sets the tone of battle is something that Percy could picture Annabeth becoming.

Percy sighed as he lay down on the observation deck of the viewpoint. The stars were looking specifically bright tonight.

"Figured you'd be here." A familiar voice said behind him. Percy looked up to see Artemis smiling at him.

"Hey," Percy smiled back. It's been a while since Percy last saw her. Artemis had been really busy with her the Hunt lately, considering the Breaking Point Tournament was a few weeks away.

Artemis sat next to Percy. "Missed me?"

"Meh." Percy shrugged. Artemis lightly hit his arm. "How's the Hunt?"

"Oh, the usual," Artemis said. "But everyone's a bit on edge. They're trying to get their hands on one of the new classes, but no one's had any luck."

"I suppose you're going to ask me if I know how to get one?" Percy asked.

"Nah," Artemis said. "I already know that. One of my lieutenants reported about it this morning."

Percy tensed, but fortunately Artemis didn't notice. "Really? Care to tell me about it?"

"It seems like Olympia is making new events with these classes as a reward. And they're challenging as hell, from what my lieutenant said." Artemis explained. "And you only get one go per event, so if you fail, no one else can try. So the first team gets first try, the late ones get nothing."

"So did you lieutenant win this event?" Percy asked.

"She did, with the help of a couple of other people. Unfortunately, the class she got didn't match her style of playing so it was a waste for her."

Percy mentally breathe out a sigh of relief. From what Percy could piece out, this lieutenant that Artemis mentioned has to be Zoe, the girl that helped Percy and Annabeth beat Styx. Thankfully, Zoe didn't mention his name or Annabeth's.

"Did you lieutenant have a hard time beating the event?" Percy inquired.

"Did you get the World Boss notification on the forums?" Artemis asked. Percy nodded. "That was her triggering the event."

"Huh," Percy said. "I guess we better keep an eye out for more World Boss alerts,"

Artemis shrugged as she snuggled closer to Percy. "It doesn't really matter to me. What's important is not what class you are, but how you utilize that class."
