Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]-Chapter 668Vol. 12 - - Zephyr-sensei’s Lecture: Untangling the thread of job’s mysteries

"I, I amn't dreaming, am I?!!"

"N, No way!!"

Gasps echoed in the vacant classroom.

We—I, Rina, Fraumina-san, Rosetta-san, and Researcher Remy—had come to the vacant classroom specially prepared to arrange the «Dragon Statue» alongside Katalina-san, the expression of confusion constant on her face.

Though she hesitated, but under Rina's urging, she placed her hand atop the statue to manifest her job list, and—her eyes snapped wide in astonishment.

"I-it's here... the «Boxed Lady» is in the list!?"

The feeling of astounment was, obviously, from seeing the job she thought she had lost. It was the raection I had expected. And I must say, the expression of surprise noble ladies like her pulled was a picturesque scene on its own.

Oh, wait. There's one more person, and I dare say her reaction was greater than even Katalina-san, who was throughly astounded.

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what's going on, Prof. Brave?! I am absoluteeeeely certain the job wasn't in the list earlier! I had seen it myself!"

My body reflexively bend backward as Researcher Remy approached me, her face at point-blank range.

Woah, too close. I held her shoulders, and teared her away from m—huh? I couldn't. How strong this lady was?!

"C, calm down, Remy-san. I will explain."

"You'll, for sure?! You are serious, right?!"

"Yes, I will. Trust me."

I somehow managed to persuade her in releasing me. I fear her job was warrior category of «Duke». It would explain her monstrous strength.

"E-er, Brav—I mean, Zephyr-san. Did you happen to know the condition for «Boxed Lady»? In my family, it's said to be a illusionary job."

Ah, that's right. That was the case.

In the game, the biggest hurdle was to discover the «Boxed Lady» job itself in contrast to the learning about its condition.

It was a well-hidden job, discovered in rare stroke when a player with «Chunibyou» job used its unique skill «My Evil Evil Can See Anything!» to scan the bookshelf while visiting a marquis's estate during certain quest. We learned the job had special upgrade condition, much like «Shield Princess», so it made sense.

It was no wonder there're barely any mention of—wait a minute. Could it be?! The marquis estate was the house of Katalina-san's family!? Thinking about it, it made sense why she would know about job, and was so desperately hoping for it.

Yeah, it definitely seemed like it. Wow, that was a surprise! Phew, I felt strangely motivated... no, calm down, me. I would only appear the same as Researcher Remy if I let my excitment control me!

"*Cough*. I can't tell that, but It would say it's just a vague understanding of what and what might not cause the manifestation."

"Oooh!! T, then. What was the cause, Prof. Brave!?"

Remy-san asked, her tension showing no sign of abetting. Finally, unable to withstand it, Rina chided her.

"Goodness, please calm down, Remy-sensei. Now, if you let Zephyr-san speak..."

"How do you expect me to calm down?! The situation of job disapperance is huge mystery. This might as well finally unravel the secret! No researcher ever can stay calm in this situatuon!"

I could see the logic in Remy-san's explanation. We, the players, had been through that phase. Still, I couldn't reveal everything here.

"The high-ranking jobs have some special conditions to make them appear. Their disappearance is related to the same reason. Before I explain, how much do you know about the «Boxed Lady», Researcher Remy?"

"Zilch! I have zero information on it! It appears some had managed to acquire it at few points in the past, but there's no official record over them. And at present, no one alive has that job! As a fact, this is why Katalina-san is under the spotlight!"

"I knew it. No, should I say it's inevitable since «Job Tramsfer» had stigma until now..."

"W-what do you mean by that?!"

Once again, Remy-san tried to approach me out of surging curiousity. Rina and Rosetta-san promptly held her shoulders from each side, while Fraumina-san coiled her arms around the waist.

And yet, the momentum of Remy-san remained unstoppable as she approached closer with the three girls clinging to her. Since when researchers were this crazy strong?!

"S-strong!"

"Who in the name of dungeon is she?!"

"I, I am going to explain it, so please keep a lid on your excitment, Remy-san. You know how one of the advanced job condition is 'you must have the said job', don't you?"

"I do. This is the common sense. A knight job would display an advanced job of similar knight category. A mage would see the similar magician related jobs. There are also some advanced jobs where you only have one specific advancement route. «Steelo Macho» of «Brawny Warrior» fall under this category."

"You are right. And this is the key detail. As a fact, this condition also applies to basic jobs."

"Hmm?"

I wonder if she was now recalling the lecture I once gave.

—«The condition to high-ranking job is to defeat monsters. In other words, you take your steps with low-ranking job, then mid-ranking job, and eventually you do «Job Tranfer» to acquire the high-ranking job. And, this is the one true method.»

Due to my expalantion, today we had «Job Transfer System». And as researcher, she should know behind the story.

Defeat 100 monsters as «Sheltered Lady». This was one of the few condition to «Boxed Lady.» It's no-brained why it's appearance had been so far and between.

To put it succintly, it's a part of intended advancement route to start jobs with varied rarity, and then pave path to high-ranking job via «Job Transfer». This was the side-effect of «Dungeon Acitivity» players's skipping the aforementioned process and jumping to high-ranking jobs at once, exceeding developer's expectations.

Consequently, the job meant to be discovered during lower rarity job training time took so long to find it. «Boxed Lady» was perfect example. Similarly, it explained the lack of knowledge over jobs in this woorld.

I explained it all in this way.

"N-no way... I, I didn't know this sort of condition was possible?!"

"Advanced jobs already do that. So why should basic jobs be excluded, no?"

"Y-yes!? Yes, of course. Of course!! It all makes sense now. It explains why we have been seeing all these unheard jobs among the candidates going through «Job Transfer System»!!"

"You guessed it right."

"T-this is big! This might as well be the discovery of century!! Wait, then why did the job suddenly disappear?"

"Ah, my opinion is it happens for reason different from this. —Katalina-san."

"Y-yes!"

Katalina-san nearly jumped in surprise at sudden mention. She teared her eyes off the job list—she had been staring at it like she had found something incredulous—and turned to me.

"Did you happen to carry something like a box with yourself during first job confirmation? Something preferrably used to store thing?"

The answer to the mystery over her job hinges on the items she had carried when she first discovered it.

"E, err... um. Can it be—does accessory case count?"

And that's a bulleye.

She didn't carry it this occasion, but she had the case meant to store accessory equipment on her pocket. The answer was clear.

There were quite a surprising amount of girls who often carried such cases to carry accessories like earrings, necklace, or rings among other things. They're must more smaller than weapon or armaments after all.

In fact, there are many more girls who would choose accessory equipments based on their designs, than abilities.

"This is most likely your answer. It depends on the given job, but sometimes there were condition like «Carry the object X». If you do not happen to carry it with yourself, then it's certain the job wouldn't show itself."

It should be obvious, but one of the condition to «Boxed Lady» was «Touch tthe Dragon's Statue while carrying a box.»

T/N - Well damn, I thought the chapter was updated. I guess site kinda messed up yesterday.
