Inside the tree cave, five young men and young ladies sat on the ground side by side. One of them wore bandages almost all over his body.

In front of them was a rectangular blackboard nailed neatly on a wooden stand. Beside the blackboard, there stood a middle-aged man who was holding a long stick in his hand.

He was the Heretic Saint, and somewhere beside him, there stood the Tikbalang.

''Ma-master... Why don't you just heal me completely?'' The young man who wore bandages suddenly asked. It was Ben. And he seemed to be having a hard time in his current condition.

Just why did his Master heal him only enough for him to sit and speak on his own?

''Should I just kill you instead?'' Heretic Saint asked with a faint smile.

''Ah, I'm fine, I'm fine. Just take it as if I didn't say anything,'' Ben immediately replied in sheer terror. Why was his Master acting like a terror now?

''Haha, in any case, let's forget about your unruly behavior. There's something we need to talk about first.'' Heretic Saint spoke as he took a moment of pause before he added, ''Now that you little brats have awakened, and you've got to learn about your skills and abilities well enough, there's something I want all of you to do.''

Heretic Saint swept his gaze at his disciples. But seeing that they only intended to listen this time, he nodded his head in satisfaction and finally decided to go on.

He tapped the blackboard with the stick he was holding and the blackboard displayed a visual so much similar to the status window of the system.

''Hm?'' Jax and the others blinked their eyes twice to confirm whether they saw it wrongly or not. But it seemed like the blackboard really displayed something like a status window as if it was a flat-screen TV.

It also displayed a character status of someone.

[Character Status]

Name: Heretic Saint

Title: The Most Handsome One

Ability: Ultimate Charm

Ability Type: Super Special

Class: Summoner (can summon beautiful ladies)

Job: None

Secondary Job: None

Affiliation: None

Guild: None

Team: None

Team Rank: None

However, that Character Status only made them scratch their heads. Was this information even real?

''This is how the system would display your Character Status. And as you can see, there is missing information for you guys since you brats are just newbies.'' Heretic Saint explained as he went on, ''But in order to join the 5V5 Tournament 'properly', you need to fill out all this missing information first.''

''Meaning, you need to get a Job, a Secondary Job too if possible, then join an Affiliation, join a Guild, and finally create a Team.''

''Forming an independent team will work out too. However, if you come out too strong fighting the other brats in the tournament, and you happen to offend some nasty young masters or anyone else who has the same bad smell, then you won't be able to avoid annoying troubles since you brats are just an independent team.''

''Since we are talking about this, do keep in mind that I won't be bothering myself to help you with such menial things. Your Master is way too busy for that. You don't want me, your busy Master, to step forward for you guys, right?''

''Since that's the case, let's move back to the main topic.'' Heretic Saint didn't leave a chance for his disciples to speak as he tapped the blackboard again with his stick. The information displayed on it changed right in the next instant.

As if he was presenting a PowerPoint presentation.

[Job]

Job - The path on which one will decide for them to accept some quests or something. They can learn skills and other things from this Job. But in the end, everything is merely to earn money.

''This is how I define Job. Read it carefully. For this is how you correctly define it,'' Heretic Saint explained as he added, ''In any case, there's only one main Job that the most number of people are choosing and are hoping to be accepted. And that's...''

He tapped the blackboard again as though he pressed the next button.

[Main Job]

• Government Army

- Affiliation: The Supreme Government

- The largest, the most influential, and the most well-known force in the entire world. They give a handsome salary to their soldiers, including a lot of benefits such as protection, free food, and retirement funds.

- Yet they're not the most powerful force out there as there are quite a few forces that can even threaten them. (Take me for example, I alone can turn their place upside down whenever I want.) For such a large group to have such a downside, they should feel ashamed of themselves.

''I forgot to write it down, but just to let you know, these bastards have strict rules and regulations. They don't accept just anyone and they keep their members tied down,'' Heretic Saint took a moment of pause to scratch his chin before he continued, ''So, let's keep this useless Job aside since working in the Government Army can only be a pain in the ass.''

Tap.

''That left us with all the other available options left...''

[Alternative Main Jobs]

• Hunter - earn money through hunting monsters, bounties, treasure hunting, etc.,

• Assassin - earn money by killing someone.

• Mercenary - earn money by being a hired private soldier.

• Marksman - earn money by selling your sniping skills. Also related to being a Hunter, Assassin, and Mercenary.

• Support - earn money by selling your supporting skills. Also related to being a Hunter, Assassin, and Mercenary.

''Now, choose carefully. I'll recommend you right away to their headquarters to get the job done as quickly as possible.'' Heretic Saint spoke with a faint smile.

''Ah, Master... Can I ask a question?'' Jax couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to clear out his doubts now.

''Go on, my disciple,'' Heretic Saint replied with an amiable smile.

''Bias...'' With that, both Jajah and Ben grunted at the same time. It was only a suspicion at first, but now they were certain of it.

Their Master must be adhering to favoritism!

And he favored Jax more than them. How could he give him such a bright smile when all they got from him was a good beating?

''Did you say something?'' Heretic Saint suddenly asked. His cold and stern expression glared at the two of them.

''Ah, nothing. We didn't say anything,'' Jajah and Ben responded meekly as they immediately turned away.

''Haha,'' Jax could only laugh dryly as he scratched his cheek with his forefinger.

Still, he ignored those two as he asked his Master, ''Do we need to choose a job separately? Or it's fine if all of us have the same job?''

But Heretic Saint shook his head slowly as he replied, ''Of course, not. You brats must choose different Jobs. Since you guys are an independent group without anyone to back you up, you should spread your influence as wide and as far as possible. It's also a good way to gather necessary information. So, choosing different Jobs is something you ought to do.''

''Then...'' Jax stared at the information displayed on the blackboard. He couldn't help but ask, ''Why are these jobs only showing how to earn money? How about you give us information about what other benefits will we get? Like the job-specific skills that we can learn once we choose a specific job.''

''No! You brats should focus on earning as much money as possible! Period.'' Heretic Saint harrumphed coldly in response as he crossed his arms under his chest. Surely, he didn't expect that brat to be so impractical.

''...'' Not only Jax, but even the other four fell speechless. Now, they were certain of it.

The very reason why their Master wanted them to choose a Job that differed from each other must be because of money!
