Volume 2 - Ch 3.04
Roxanne, did you do something to that monster after I punched it?
Ah, yes, yes I did. After you delivered that punch that stunned it, I whacked it in the back one more time, causing it to collapse. Why are you asking, master? Have I done something that I shouldnt have done?
No, everythings fine.
So she was the one who killed it, huh? Well, I certainly didnt saw anything that looked remotely like that, but to be fair, my eyes were pretty clouded with rage at that moment, so its entirely possible that she truly did that and I simply missed it. But that gives me a crucial piece of information.
Based on what Roxanne said, it looks like the Job of a Monk can be obtained as long as you deal the finishing blow to the enemy with your bare fists, and that is supported by the fact that Roxanne, who dealt the last blow to that Needlewood got herself a Monk Job, while I, who was fighting the enemy unarmed, but did not kill it unarmed, failed to get it. That would truly mean that what is needed to obtain it is the last blow.
That was some truly impressive dodging game there, Roxanne. I didnt know you could actually move like that.
Thank you very much, but it really wasnt anything that impressive. Because there were two of us fighting it at the same time it was distracted, which made seeing through the patterns of its attacks that much easier.
I dont really care that much now that its all over, but
Uh-huh, I see.
Everyone can avoid that kind of slow attacks as long as they pay attention and look closely enough.
Yeah, right, not happening. Calling BS on that.
But once again, I am reminded why Roxanne is such a great person. Not only she knows a lot of things that I do not have a clue about, but she can also sense monsters with just her nose alone, as well as avoid their attacks like it was nothing!
Anyway, the lesson we have learned today is that you need to deal the finishing blow to obtain the Job, so now we can act on it properly.
Okay Roxanne, the plan for the next battle is as follows: I will try to deal the finishing blow, so I would like you to keep yourself distanced, but not to engage the enemy unless it will be an emergency.
That way I will be one hundred percent sure that my kill is not going to get stolen, accidentally or otherwise.
Amazing! Thats another one hit victory for you!
One-hit victory indeed, but there is nothing to gloat about here, because I cheated a little here by hastely allocating all of my remaining Bonus Points into STR.
Phew, that was tough, but since I was the only one who delivered the ass-whooping onto that Needlewood, then it should mean that this I should obtain that Job for sure. With those thought in mind, I opened the menu to check my Job Settings.
Monk Lv.1
Effects: Medium SPI Increase, Small MP Increase
Skill: Medical Treatment
Well, this is it.
I set up Monk as my First Job and immediately proceeded to check the effects of the Medical Treatment Skill. When I did, the pain that was permeating my shoulder due to one of my earlier attacks has completely disappeared.
All right, the pain has subsided. From now on, if we ever get attacked by monsters and end up wounded as a result, I will be able to heal us no problem.
I told Roxanne.
You can really do something so useful now?
Thats right. And as always, promise me youll keep it between us, capiche?
U-Understood. You really are full of surprises, master.
To be honest, you can use that Skill as well, Roxanne. But it will probably be for the best if the one responsible for healing us in the middle of battle was me, since I have the Chant Omission from Fragarach and all that. One thing worth noting though: when I used Medical Treatment just now, a single usage used up of my total MP, so MP cost-wise its going to be one of my pricier abilities to use, and that calls for going back to using Durandal, since it has the MP Absorption Skill.
Yeah, I will be in charge of our healing.
