At last, we had pumled the ghost of ‹Yokai - Just One More›. I am really proud of you, Aegis!
But now here cos the question.
Now that we had gained a ticket, it was ti to consider how to use—oops, not this. I an, since yokai was no longer clinging to us, we should continue with our grind.
"Err...... It seems we have another ‹Job Ascension Ticket› now......"
"Woahh! Way to go, Sierra! Now we have a total of three tickets!"
I raised my hand in excitent for high five as Sierra revealed the drop with a stupified voice. Almost subconsciously, Sierra followed the motion for high-five. Clap
Ohh, nice!
It was evening.
Initially, we had been surrounded with a veil of anxiousness while we grind for the ticket in the morning, but that all changed when we finally completed our objective.
Yes, we managed to score three tickets in just one day! Now ‹Eden› had a total of 6 tickets. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!
It was all thanks to the ‹Reversed Misfortune Phenonon› that was common among the players.
It was like all the repressed luck that couldn't make any waves due to the ‹Yokai - Just One More› suddenly burst forth in succession once that missing last item was in your hand. Eh, I know it's quite a cryptic phenonon. It was a common occurrence to see players seething on forums and other websites, "A single one would have been fine. Why are we getting double to triple drops of all case!?"
The overload of luck, aka ‹Yokai - Please No More Redundant›. Players would often find themselves surrounded by an avalanche of items with similar rarity, except that they hardly needed them during then.
Those drops were like snowfall, dropping like crazy when no one wanted them. Yet, at the crucial mont, it just happened that they sohow stopped dropping. Of course, this, too, accompanied by player's outrage like 'What kind of dogshit system was it?! Why aren't they dropping now but were popping out till yesterday for nothing?!'
The dam of fortune that had ford, and suppressed, from oppression of yokai was finally bursting forth after the yokai had been busted. Ah, the tearful sight of players was truly sothing.
But hey, the outburst of luck for us was moving on the right trend at least. At last, we could grind for tickets properly.
"Sothing's off. Why does no one seem to be excited, Brave-kun?"
"They seed to be taken away by their surprise I guess."
However Nico gave a hard stare in response.
It was another familiar sight. Sothing that I knew very well. I could understand why they were startled at the sudden improved drop rate.
"I'm not a mind reader but I guess...it's definitely not what you're thinking, Brave-kun."
I pretend to turn a deaf ear at Nico's implication.
Ultimately, we stopped at the three ticket counts for the day.
Sierra and rt were harbouring an extrely perplexed expression. Just in the morning, they were flustered if it was even possible to get the ticket. And now, their expressions were literally like soone had carved their expression out of stone.
Finally, rt, as the representative, stepped up to ask, his tone heavy.
"Zephyr...did you know how this would turn out?"
"No way. I didn't really care about the follow-up situation as long as we got one."
Well, this was the typical chanism of yokai curses. The more you chase after sothing, the more it will try to escape from your grasp. But would imdiately co to beco the albatross in your neck when you finally breakthrough.
If I were to quote myself, this is what it is. There's really no logical reason why suddenly more tickets started to drop after the first—or maybe the last ticket for us.
Yeah, I hope they don't waste their brain power over sothing there's no clear explanation for. I explained the sa to them.
"This just...doesn't make sense."
"My head hurts."
Woah, the brainpower of our guild were simultaneously clutching their heads, Now it was definitely a rare sight.
"Long story short, there's no way to understand the yokais. Of course, make sure to rember how to deal with them though."
"But I don't think there's anyone who can repeat that, except you, Zephyr."
"How I would have loved to hear it's just a joke......"
It's true though. I an, the gas were always the number one victim of yokais.
This was how our conversation played out. But hey, we had no reason to stay anxious now at least.
Then cos the night. We decided to hold a eting on how to use the ‹Job Ascension Ticket›. After dinner, we moved to the guild, which would typically be deserted at night, but this was an important occasion.
Once the classes start tomorrow, others would be more busy in sorting out their schedule which would make it harder to converse at once. So it was best to sort it out now while we still had the leeway.
"It wouldn't be good to stay up late so let's sort it out quickly."
"What, you don't really expect for us to sort out such an important matter so quickly, do you?"
"Just hear out, Sierra. I am here after proper consideration. All that is left is to announce the result."
I said and looked at the guild mbers sitting on either side of the long table. We had a total of 20 mbers joining us, 18 from ‹Edem› plus Nico and ‹Celestine›.
The result would be later sent to ‹Arc-Arcadia› and ‹Helper›.
"First of all, it's really good to see everyone here despite the odd timing. Now I will start with how we're going to use the tickets."
My words prompted a serious nod from everyone.
Advanced Job.
Apple of everyone's eyes. One that they adore absolutely. Sothing the people would do anything to get their hand on one. It was akin to exalted existence.
The obvious way to use the tickets was to change into an advanced job. But of course, it was the ardent desire of everyone, one that was easy to arouse conflict.
Many guilds were often cornered to being disbanded after being unable to reach one conclusion on their usage. Well, ‹Eden› wasn't one of those many guilds of course.
I'm sure it's just a matter of ti before we score in many more ‹Job Ascension Ticket› later too. Today's result was sufficient proof.
"We have managed to secure three tickets today, and along with the three our guild already had, this makes a total of 6. I would be deciding the 6 max levelled mbers who would be using them to jump into advanced jobs.
But of course, it wouldn't be the only ti we will be having tickets. We're going to farm them more and more in the coming days too. So I hope you all patiently wait for that day if you're not selected. Alright, I will start now."
My words imdiately stirred the mbers. Three tickets in a single day wasn't less than a miracle. If it was possible, I would really pat the back of my old self who decided to wait for advanced job promotion until Nico was ready to buff our chances.
It was highly possible today wouldn't be the only day we get multiple tickets. I explained so that they could be reassured about the future. Once they're assured, we could avoid stepping on landmines.
It was my ssage that ‹Job Ascension Ticket› was just another item, waiting for us to simply seeks them out, for our guild. This was our first step to get everyone on the sa pedestal.
Well, I wasn't expecting everyone to believe imdiately but this should lighten their mood atleast.
I started with my plans for the future.
"As everyone knows, the foremost goal of ‹Eden› is to pave a path for S-rank, but. I also want to explore the advanced dungeons as well."
The mbers stirred again, albeit faintly.
It was probably the first ti I announced my plan officially about the dungeon but from their reaction, I presud they had seen this coming.
"Advanced Jobs were a must for the advanced dungeons. So these six tickets would be going to the mber who will be first stepping to challenge the advanced dungeons."
"It sounds fantastic. It would boast the potential of our guild and would be another huge leap toward the goal. I'm in."
"Advanced dungeons huh. Fufu, count in. I can't miss the chance to get one over on my Esteed Father and Brother!"
Sierra showed her support, anwhile Lana seed to be lost in her incomprehensible monologue.
Well, I wasn't trying to illicit their opinion intentionally, but their words pushed everyone to consider it positively.
It was then soone suddenly raised their hand. It was rt.
"I want to ask one thing, Zephyr. Are you sure you can clear the advanced dungeons?"
Oh, right. It kinda slipped about the potential doubt about them that world had. Everyone's gaze was back on .
For , though, there were only two words in response to the question.
"Of Course."
"Phew, alright. I have nothing more to add. I will look forward to the day you achieve it."
There was no words of doubt or question following rt's response. After concluding that, I started to list out the na who would be taking the ‹Job Ascension Ticket›.
