Softly. A band of golden radiance overflowed from my chest.
“Kyaa!”
“Wha-wha?!”
A cute squeal escaped out of Lana and Hannah’s lips at the sudden happening.
It was the effect taking place. Though I just realized my movements had became slightly stiff when I tried to look behind while the effect was being played out. It was a novel feeling. I tried taking my signature pose, and… fuhaha!
The band of light wrapped itself around with unhurried speed. Each time that band touched my body, I felt as if something inside me was slightly altered/re-written. It was a strange feeling.
However…it wasn’t anything harmful. An indescribable feeling inside me told so. Simply, the <Brave> job inside me was like it was going through nirvana, getting strengthened along the way and transforming into <Gloria Salvator>.
Hmm, I wonder if that’s how you feel when transforming. Some good-for-nothing thoughts passed through my mind.
And a few seconds later, the effect gradually died down.
It was quite a mental struggle, but I walked up with <Gloria Salvator>. But choosing it means tackling the obligation it comes with……
But recalling back, it didn’t sound bad to check that ending—<Grand Finale>. It had the title of being ‘one of the hardest to achieve ending.’ amidst 400 others that the game boasted. It had also been one of the factors which made it a fan favorite as well.
——A player should definitely make it through the <Grand Finale> at least once when playing <Dungeon Activity>.
It was the general consensus among the <Dungeon Activity> obsessed playerbase.
The ending was thrilling to the max, likewise impactful, and hailed as something that would leave its print onto your memory eternally.
If I had been given the choice to play one ending only one time for the lifetime among the 400 endings game had, you could bet <Grand Finale> would in one of the few I could count in one hand. —But, it was just as brutal to clear that ending, and failure would push the scenario into an never-ending downward spiral. So, in this case, it was also among one of the few exceptionally hard ending I could count in my hand.
However, it wasn’t as if there was no way but to hop into it either.
But thinking about it from a real world perspective, I was perhaps reading too much into it due to the game. Just because I acquired <Gloria Salvator> didn’t mean the trigger would translate into reality well. I shouldn’t be like that red button who shouldn’t be touched but still ended up happening… I will not……right? I guess, yeah.
Anyway, there’s no point thinking about it now. The event occur when coming closer to Ending, and the timeline for that is in the later half of third year. I would be wasting my energy by overthinking about it. And speaking of, there was something of more gravitas that needed my attention.
“And that’s all. I am now one of you!!”
“Hurray! Congrats, Zephyr!”
“Congratulations, Zephyr-kun!”
“Thanks, Lana, Hannah.”
I had just turned back when Lana and Hannah blitz toward me. Ohh, they sure were brimming with excitement. I raised both of my hands for high-five and… Clap!
“Congratulations, Zephyr-dono.”
“Great work, Zephyr. Now we’re one step closer to our goal.”
“Hnn. Grats, Zpephyr.”
“Congratulations, Zephyr-sama.”
“Oh, thank you all. Ester, Sierra, Karua, Celestine too.”
I also high-five with the composed group!
Ester had a warm smile on her face, while Sierra just flashed an ‘oh you silly’ kind of expression.
Karua had barely get herself out of sleepiness, so I had extra high-five, high-five and high-five. Oh, and the bonus high-five!
Alright, this event demand a proper party. It’s doubly important to throw party at such occasions!
I mean, imagine, six of the guild members had acquired advanced job! Meanwhile, I also had gotten the strongest of the world type job! How could there be no party for such grand occasion?!
But this is just the starting, we’re going to secure more and more <Advance Job Ascension Ticket>!
It’d be time for Nico to shine, having her through the Int-low dungeons. It would be a blazing journey!
Ahem, yes that was important but let’s not forget the sight of current objective.
“Our business here is finished, so let’s move back to the guild. Its time to tweak the status of advanced jobs.”
Yes, we’re to start with building our bases first.
After returning the key to Phyllis-sensei in the staff room, and thanking her, we head back to our guild.
