The group asked for direction and quickly found the adventure guild. Their strange clothes quickly caught people's attention, but the adventures quickly paid attention to the ladies' beauty–especially Fleur, which had a natural charm emanating from her body.
However, after Snape stared at them with his vicious eyes, they quickly pretended not to see anything and only looked through the corner of their eyes.
"Hello, how can I help you?" asked Luna.
"Are you the receptionist?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, you can call me Luna."
"She's beautiful," said Fleur. "Edward would like her."
"He is her type. I wonder how many women he will bring back this time?"
"He's been pretty tame recently, so I'm taking a gamble and say one."
Hermione sighed out loud. "It's because he's been tamed that I fear he won't control himself now he is alone."
"What's with the sigh?"
"What? Can't I at least complain?"
"We've been together now for more than 6 decades; you should get used to his womanizing way by now," said Fleur.
"No, it does not matter how long we are together; I will complain."
While these two were conversing, the other did not know what to say. This kind of topic involved the personal affairs of the royal family, and it was not their place to say anything–especially in public.
"Heherm," said Filius, reminding these two they were in public.
"Oh, sorry for the delay," said Hermione, with no shame or embarrassment. Meanwhile, Luna could only smile wryly. She had heard of the scandalous affairs amongst nobles, but she did not expect to experience them in person.
'These women are over 60 years old? How did they keep their youth? Is it some kind of potion?'
"We would like to register as adventures," said Hermione.
"No problem, but an appropriate fee is required for the registration."
Hermione frowned slightly, "We forgot the fee. Should we go kill a few monsters for money?"
"No need," said Fleur before walking to one of the tables with a few adventures. She had slight tears in her eyes as she explained how arduous of a journey she had coming to Axel Town, how she was attacked and lost all her valuables and money.
Then, these adventures handed her all their money, even the savings they had accumulated to place their old mother in retirement. Then, Fleur brazenly walked to the other tables and did the same thing, and she succeeded.
Just like that, she acquired the money for five of them to register and the money to buy some decent starting gear.
Looking at the sack of money in her hand, Hermione shook his head, "What's the point of doing this? We could have just sold a few jewelries from our interdimensional rings."
"It's fun," Fleur replied while sticking her tongue out. Meanwhile, the shocked Luna received the money before registering them. The next step was to acquire an adventure card.
She told one of them to place her hand on a special magic item that would determine their stats. Hermione was the first to place her hand on the orb-shape apparatus.
A few seconds later, Luna looked at her card.
"Oh my, all your stats are maxed out, even your luck. What's more, it is said your mana is unquantifiable. With these stats, you can choose any advanced job classes.
"Hmm, you even have an unnamed skill."
Before Luna could make a commotion, Hermione took the card from her hand and looked at it. Upon closer observation, she could not find anything special yet. However, as she observed the category for skills, she read the information.
[Unamed Skill: Strange energy that is both mana and not. It can grant the user enhanced physical stats, magic resistance, vitality, and some elemental affinity. A skill perfect for both magic and non-magical classes.]
"Let's call it Aura," she said, and the name on the card changed. Yet, she had not detected how this thing functioned or any information on it.
Soon afterward, the group all acquired their cards, and by then, Luna could not talk; this was the first time he saw a group of people with maxed-out stats and such an incalculable mana reserve.
"I'm not surprised by the maxed-out stats, but I'm a little surprise by our luck," said Fleur. "So, what job classes should we take? We can't all be Archwizards?"
"One of us has to be an adventurer since they can learn the skill of all the other classes."
"I want to be an Elemental Archer," said Filius. The most famous virtual reality game in the Empire is called World of Magic, and Filius enjoyed playing the archer class once in a while. So, he decided to do so in real life.
"I always find it weird how a former duel champion like yourself enjoys playing as an archer," said Hermione.
Filius shrugged his shoulder, "Being a mage is boring."
"I want to be the Archwizard," said Snape.
"A boring choice. I want to be the Crusader," said Lily.
"I'll be the Archpriest," said Fleur.
"Are you sure?" asked Hermione. "They have no battle powers except against undead."
"It's fine. I have the Aura Skill, so it's okay."
"In that case, I'll be the Adventure."
"Excuse me, ma'am. Are you sure you want to choose the adventure job class? That's the weakest one; it would be a waste of your potential," said Luna.
"I'm aware, so you don't have to worry."
Luna tried to persuade her, but it was no use. So, she changed their jobs with a sigh.
"Did you feel it?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, the so-called skill is a spell engraved in a person's DNA or bloodline," replied Fleur in the Arcane language. She looked at the adventure card: "This technology will revolutionize both our genetic engineering and bloodline fusion technology."
She was slightly excited; her main research has always been on DNA and bloodline, and she could be considered one of the best in the field. However, her main topic of deciphering the Dragon King's bloodline and fusing them has not succeeded after decades.
But now, she finally saw hope.
"This fact is not absolute for the Archwized class," said Snape.
"Oh, did you discover something?"
"It seems to be a combination of bloodline spells and knowledge," he replied while reviewing the knowledge that was inserted into his mind after becoming an Archwizard.
"Tinder," said Snape as he sensed his bloodline activated to use his mana as an energy source. Then, a small ball of flame appeared in his hand.
"The good thing about this magic system is we only need enough Skill Points to learn advanced magic. But, this could also be its downside. Furthermore, it seems possible to invent skills like [Aura].
"What about your crusader class?"
"High stamina, high magic resistance, high vitality, high strength, and some weird affinity or talent for the sword," she replied while sensing the changes to her body. Then, she looked at the adventure card.
"As for the skills I can learn, they are most tank-related skills, with a few offensive ones."
"What about you, professor Filius?"
"I have high dexterity and an affinity for the bow. As for skills, I have two basic ones: Farsight, which allows me to see far in the distance. And Snipe, which allows me to fire from a bow or crossbow. The odd thing is the success of my attacks is not based on my aim but on my luck.
"This could be an interesting thing to test out."
"So, what do we do next?" asked Fleur toward Hermione.
"We need to get as many Skill Points as possible to learn all the skills in our respected job classes. The magic system of this dimension might be extremely beneficial to the Empire, so let's find out how it operates.
"Of course, we still can have some fun in the process."
Afterward, the group left the bewildered Luna, who was curious about what they were saying. They went to buy some basic equipment before heading out to hunt monsters.
They first decided to gain Skill Point before learning how to purchase or make Skill Up Potions.
(AN: Elemental Archer is not a real advanced class in Konosuba, I made it up for this fanfic. There was no advanced job class for archers, so I made one up. Furthermore, Decoy is the only active skill revealed about Crusaders, while the other four skills are buffs. So, I'll have to make some up.)
