"Oh? Your bounce-back is rather refreshing so to speak. No one makes it past the initial anger of being "charmed" or highly intrigued to a certain degree and not much progress is made afterward. But since the conversation is going so well, this means that you can finally see the worth that I have in this class as well. We don't know how this game ends, in terms of a dungeon or a final boss. Allying yourself with groups of people that bring different things to the table is a proper choice. "

In regards to the missions that he would pick, it really would depend.

"The reward would have to match the risk if I would mention anything especially dangerous. There is no point in doing anything "just because", I don't consider myself to be the heroic type. Like you in the usual dynamic that you have with work, there has to be some payoff at the end of it. So even if I did, unless I really wanted to convince you, the pros and cons would be equally listed if there were any. Well, in any one of those situations or random party ques, one benifit is that you get to know people. "

Not only would you get to now people a little more quickly due to a dangerous situaiton, you would also get to know what they could do in terms of ability. In the menatime, Tommy sent Nubia a friend request.

"Y-your feet? Psh...haha.. don't worry, i'm not that unreasonable. I wonder what happened to that guy anyway? Creeps like that don't give up as easily as you think."

When she took out the maze key, Tommy leaned in to examine it a little closer. It was something that he neever seen before or even heard about. The maze key opens a dungeon, but the owner has no control over what kind of dungeon it is.

"In preperation for that, I should raise my level as far as i can possibly go. Regardless of how skilled the people you have in mind are, can't be lower than level 10. You included, how you got the key isnt important. Its the fact that the dungeon is random and that you have no control over the difficulty. But since it's rather early and it's in a game like sense, it has to be proportionate to the average level, which can honestly change. Besides me, who else did you have in mind for this dungeon raid?"

Other than that, the merchant class bit was an interesting concept. There might be some advantages to being friends with a person like that.

"Is this person also going to be apart of the mercenary guild? Should try to get him on your good side, discounts for members on regular things at the very least. Plus priority purchasing for anything new or at least a DM if it shows up. Take advantage of it as much as you can, a merchant and a mercenaries relationship is very compatiable to say the least. They make the best customers. I would want to see what he has eventually. "

Things were moving at a decent pace, the beast master with the slime had some command over the creature. Attacking together allowed them to have an extra pair of hands. Sebastian handled orders quite well, and his command over the feather projectiles was interesting. The fact that he had to pick them up was something that Tommy had to take note of, certain ammo wasn't easily replenishable for certain classes. Even so, Ippo started using his power, or whatever it was. Seeing the words threw Tommy off, but he knew that it would have to mean something in the end. Seeing Sami go ahead and take point with the distribution of the spears, gave Tommy an idea.

"Sami is right, we can use this to our advantage."

He continued.

"Some of these statues are unarmed. The reach for the spears on the floor should be used as an opening, they would be exposing themselves instead of lunging for the others. That would be the easiest time to take them off the playing field. It's time to use their stragety against them while taking advantage of the distance, they can't come close if we pick up those spears and use them instead. With the buff, we got from being in the group and the increase from the sister sibling, it would make up for the difference in stats if it seems too heavy. Ippo, I know that you are doing your power thing. But when you get the chance, pick up the spear. You can't be the only one unarmed here and Chae-Yeong has to tend to her brother due to his leg. "

They were listening so far. At the very least, Tommy figured that his idea had some merit. With the statue that was attacking Tommy immediately, he gave it priority and hit it with a barrage of whimsical shapes to attempt to destroy or heavily damage the statue. After that, Tommy focused on the statue in the north that was trying to pick up the spear by sending some butterflies to attack and damage its head while it went low to get the spear, not having to worry about Sebastian since Sami tossed him a spear already. Using this moment, Tommy reached for the spear and quickly tossed it in Ippo's direction.

"Heads up Ippo, catch!"

He had his projectiles so far and it didn't fail him yet. He would get another opportunity he hoped, but he made a decision based on what he believed to be right. In the meantime, Tommy played defensively, striking any statue with butterfly projectiles if they got within 15 feet of him.

After hearing the news of the auction being hosted, Tommy was rather thankful for himself to not be spending as many points as he did originally so he would have a chance at getting something useful. He didn't know what he was looking for, but he was sure that something useful would come up in the auction sooner or later. After getting the extra mask and materials, he simply put the mask on top of the one he already had. He didn't want any trouble or to cause any sort of attention to himself.

If this auction was something that was run fairly, even Tommy had a chance to win. It wasn't exactly his style, Tommy is most likely the kind of guy to use whatever loophole he has available to him to get ahead. However, those aren't the rules that he's able to play with all the time. Sometimes, he has to follow the lead of others and keep a low profile.

"Alright, let's see how this goes. "

Taking a seat in the far back section, Tommy waited fro the first things to come up and be presented.

Everything went well, without a problem. Or at least Tommy thought there was nothing to worry about. He was surprised, however, someone doing it through the first tutorial with the downtime between then and now, not knowing what kind of abilities they had. It may have made sense, but it wasn't natural for everyone, and some things were hard to understand. However, if it was a useful ability that Ippo had, Tommy thought it would be better to find out as soon as possible.



Plus, Tommy had bigger issues to take care of.The horde was on its way. Tommy knew that the man was trying to help, but he wasn't sure if that would work in their favor. His power with the butterflies was fine, but nothing too devastating where he might be able to eliminate many of them at once.In addition to that, Sami went full-on  Leroy Jenkins in response to what was occurring. Sami was strong and had his style with handling things, so Tommy would simply leave it up to them. They had two people that couldn't fight adequately at the moment for different reasons and Tommy felt like he had to accommodate that.



'It's a tight formation and time is basically against us with the red section moving through.Considering the formation, I'll stick to my original plan of attacking the low body and legs of the front line. With the intelligence of the stone creatures in mind, they would either trip or trample on those who were crippled. At the very least, it should save time and key points for close users to attack. If we sync our attacks, it might work. "

SPOILER: Click to show

The Beguiler uses illusions and mental effects to manipulate the minds of others while also causing very real harm through the tricks of light they create. Your mask becomes a vital part of your class, and when abilities are in use, shimmers with rippling patterns of pink and purple light. This same energy appears as butterflies and whimsical shapes flutter off your form wherever you go when willed. As a [basic] attack, you can fire these projectiles [SPD] at targets up to 30 feet away, dealing psychic/ cutting damage equal to your [PWR] when hit. Gains a new feature at [PWR] Rank B.

That was just an assumption, but would Tommy get lucky twice?He should just wait and see.



"Let's Go!"



Tommy then sent a wave of whimsical forms and stretched it to strike first.With the way that it stretched out, Tommy was aiming for the first two rows of the horde wihile moving forward and being mindful of the safe space he had available to him.

Finding himself in London, Tommy was here for a different kind of reason. History always played a role in the progression of mankind and there was a good chance that historical items may have had a carryover of abilities since the world changed. Was Tommy thinking of stealing from the museum? Well, quite possibly, but he didn't want any infamy for the time being for something that might not even have the value he wanted it to have. He was unable to appraise them as well, so it was a bad deal. It would be good to simply look and watch, enjoying the view.

"The Rosetta stone.."

It just had to, if the earth was going for the game scenario with how the world was to survive, the world's most precious artifacts might have some leeway as to what they could do. It was the key to unlocking the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Maybe it had some sort of Egyptian power or secret to them as well.

"........."

Tommy just found himself staring at it, a little closer than usual to the glass.

Should he go for it?

The negotiation was working quite well, that's what Tommy thought.At least, he thought, it sounded like she'd figured it out. Sometimes people were quick to get upset or hate Tommy for it, but you have to use whatever is available to you for a negotiation. On top of that, it wasn't something he could control as long as he wasn't wearing a mask. But is it something the female mercenary would believe? Maybe if Tommy made a good argument for why the ability activated, he could get away with it. But at the same time, he had to present it in a way that would make it precious enough for him to want to use it.

"oh?"

Tommy then puts the mask back on.

"You seem to have figured it out."

World record maybe? Perhaps Tommy should work on increasing his rank and his level to make it last longer.

"Yes, this is my "first impression", this is what I use to trade with you.You may have a way out, but not everybody does. So imagine how this could work in stressful situations or when you need to negotiate with somebody.You feel violated so I'm going to tell you, and only you, the main complaint about this power. It's indiscriminate and activates on its own. I didn't mean to, but I want to make it work for me. And I can make it work for you as well if we can work together. Sounds like you have a way to handle this, so it should be okay. Before succumbing to wrath, consider the possibilities."

He wasn't sure if that would be enough. It was a valuable ability, but what mattered at the moment was what the mercenary thought.
