Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 9. It's Easy to Taint Something Innocent

"Mage," I answered.

"Umm..."

"L-Leader is..."

Both of them had similar reactions. Park Deok-Gu looked really disappointed and while Kim Hyun-Sung seemed okay with my decision, he also seemed a bit disappointed.

I was more drawn to the archer that could use a bow, but agility was the foundation of an archer's strength and my agility stat was low. It'd be different if there was a possibility that my agility stat was going to increase later on, but my potential agility stat was the worst.

No, more than that, I wasn't the physically active type. It was obvious that even if I picked archer and then changed to a rogue later, I would probably contemplate on a similar issue.

Honestly, the mage job was the same. I already knew that my mage stat wasn't that high, but...

'I need to bring out my strengths.'

I thought this was the best way to put my intelligence stat to use. When thinking about the jobs I could possibly change to, later on, I was sure that I would see a job that I would be efficient in despite my low magic stat.

"Do you mind me asking why you picked that job?" Kim Hyun-Sung asked.

I nodded lightly and then answered. "It's just a gut feeling."

I had no choice but to pick this job. Even if I picked the leader job, I would only get one measly stat point. But the mage job was going to give me three points to my magic stat that was basically nonexistent, so that was a huge advantage on my end.

"I see," Kim Hyun-Sung commented.

It was as if he understood what I meant.

I felt a bit bitter because I couldn't openly come out and say that it was hopeless because my stats were low in the first place.

[Overall Review - Your stats are still hopeless, however, I applaud you for knowing the importance of getting a job. Choosing the mage job may be the best choice because, with your stats, it must've been difficult to feel magic. You must feel hopeful since your magic stat increased by three points, but I recommend not having expectations in growing as a mage. The bigger your expectations, the bigger your disappointment.]
