Jack kept on scratching his head, as if he was having a hard time making a decision.
Anthony had long since finished filling up the form, but his thighs kept on trembling, as if he was still hesitating.
Compared to them, Kaunitz and the others were much calmer. After all, they had already made preparations back in their own clans. The important characters at the level of Knights had long since chosen their future paths for them. Therefore, they had instantly chosen their path among the seventeen jobs.
Fang Xingjian also sat down and started to fill up the application form.
From the information he had gotten from the librarian, Manny, he had mainly looked at the four main jobs: the Void Sword Leader, the Star Pursuer, the Windstorm Sword Hero, and the Head of Ten Thousand Swords. Although he had also scanned through the other jobs that used swords, they were indeed far inferior to these four jobs.
These four jobs also had a greater advantage over the seventeen jobs that the instructor had given him. Fang Xingjian believed that only by transitioning into this job would he be able to rely on his own strength to wipe out the Onassis Clan, suppress Li Shuanghua, and question his mother in the next four and a half years.
Among these four jobs, the Void Sword Leader had the lowest attribute growth. However, his Void Sword Qis were hard to defend against and unpredictable. It could be said to have the strongest ability for sneak attacks and assassination.
The Star Pursuer's reaction was unrivalled, and it even had a certain level of premonition for battles. It could be said to be the best in close combat among the four jobs.
The Windstorm Sword Hero had unparalleled speed, could fight and retreat at will, and its overall abilities could be said to be the best.
Lastly, the Head of Ten Thousand Swords could accumulate power and explode it in an instant. It was definitely a powerful weapon in arena battles. Among the four jobs, it was the best in terms of solo battles and explosive attacks.
As for the other sword-using jobs that Manny had collected, he had also roughly scanned through them. Indeed, they could not be compared to these four jobs.
Fang Xingjian pondered for a very long time, then flipped through the historical information of many strong warriors that Manny had sent over. In the end, he still decided to choose the Windstorm Sword Hero for his first transition.
One reason was because the two attributes, movement speed and action speed, were too important. As long as these two attributes were high enough, then one would be able to attack and defend at will, and would have a strong suppressive ability against opponents who were slightly weaker.
This caused the Windstorm Sword Hero's comprehensive abilities to be even stronger. In addition to the sword arts talent that Fang Xingjian possessed, his unparalleled speed coupled with countless sword techniques allowed his battle prowess to be greatly increased.
Of course, the most important point was that after his research, he discovered that in the history of the Empire, there had only been three people who had become a Windstorm Sword Hero. However, all three of them had eventually completed the third transition, becoming Divine level experts. Fang Xingjian had the confidence to complete any one of the four job transitions, and thus chose the Windstorm Sword Hero.
Moreover, after seeing the information on the three Windstorm Sword Heroes in the history of the Empire, Fang Xingjian had other thoughts.
'Windstorm Sword Hero might be even more powerful … or even completely surpass the other three jobs.'
Not long after, everyone had made their choice. Whether they were hesitant, determined, or regretful, they had ultimately made a choice that would affect their entire lives.
After the instructor collected everyone's application forms, he took a look and frowned.
"Fang Xingjian..." He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Are you sure you want to choose the Windstorm Sword Hero?"
"Windstorm Sword Hero?" Jack turned in astonishment, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, "Xingjian, isn't this one of the seventeen job transitions?"
Fang Xingjian replied calmly, "No. I found it in the library. "
Hearing his answer, Jack and Anthony smiled bitterly. They looked at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at a monster.
Kaunitz laughed out loud, looking at Fang Xingjian with an extremely disdainful gaze. "The ignorant are truly fearless."
Barbara, Ferdinand, and the others also smirked coldly, looking at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at an idiot.
The examiner who was standing on the rostrum walked down and came before Fang Xingjian, saying, "Do you know that the requirements for the Windstorm Sword Hero are extremely difficult? And his specialty requirements are very high? "This job is very powerful, but there are no teachers in the academy who can teach you. No, it's useless even if there are teachers for this job. "Now that you've chosen to transition into a Windstorm Sword Hero, once you enter the secret realm, if the requirements are not completely met, there's a high possibility that you will fail the transition and suffer from the backlash from the ether particles. "And do you know that in the Empire's over two hundred years of history, there have only been three people who have successfully transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero? Do you think you can become the fourth?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "I know all these, but I have confidence in succeeding."
"Confidence in succeeding? Do you think this is a game? " The examiner's voice grew louder, as if he had expected better from Fang Xingjian, "Do you know how many geniuses in history have set their sights too high for the first transition and ended up failing the transition in the secret realm? Then they wasted their lives away, and some even committed suicide because they could not take it anymore."
Seeing Fang Xingjian being scolded, Kaunitz and the others were all gloating. Although Jack and Anthony were anxious, they did not know how to mediate.
However, Fang Xingjian had already spoken up once again, "In the entire Empire, there's no rule that says that I can't choose to transition into a Windstorm Sword Hero, right?"
"You!" The examiner had not expected Fang Xingjian to be so stubborn. He pointed at him and said, "You're ruining your own future." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left with the application form. Before he left the classroom, he turned his head and said, "I'll report this matter to the Headmaster. I advise you to change your mind as soon as possible."
After the examiner left, Kaunitz and the others finally broke out in laughter.
Barbara, who was from the Fei Yang Knight Academy and specialized in archery, smiled and said, "Great genius, then we'll wait for you to transition into a Windstorm Sword Hero three months later. Kaunitz, if he becomes a Windstorm Sword Hero by then, you'll probably not be his match. "
"Hmph, if he really transitions into a Windstorm Sword Hero, so what if I lose?" Kaunitz glared at Fang Xingjian and said with bloodshot eyes, "I'm just afraid that some people bite off more than they can chew and end up failing the transition."
Fang Xingjian looked at them coldly, then turned and left. Jack and Anthony looked at each other and rushed out as well.
Once they were out of the classroom, Jack advised, "Xingjian, why did you choose the Windstorm Sword Hero? There's no one to guide you in a vocational academy like this. If you fail the transition, you'll be finished. "
"That's right. If you self-study, you'll only be able to browse through the information in the library. There'll be no one to guide you on the crucial points, and it'll be too easy for problems to arise." Anthony also advised, "The seventeen types of jobs provided by the academy are not bad either. After you've completed it, you'll have a higher chance in the Regional Selection. "Also, didn't you hear what the instructor said? In the history of the Empire, only three people have succeeded in transitioning into a Windstorm Sword Hero. The chances of you choosing this as your first transition job are too low."
"Chances?" Fang Xingjian said calmly, "What kind of chances? The entire academy is learning such mediocre first transition jobs. Most of the Knights in the Empire are also learning such jobs that are easy to pass down. The Regional Selection hasn't even started and you want to stand at the same starting line as others? "The first transition jobs provided by the academy might not be bad, but it's still too weak for me. What's the point of choosing a job that's about the same level as most people? What's the point of standing out in the Regional Selection? "
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, both of them were stunned for a moment. By the time they regained their senses, Fang Xingjian had already taken a few steps forward, covering a distance of over ten meters with each step. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from their field of vision.
Jack scratched his head and said, "What he said … seems to make sense. With our aptitude, if we were to take on a first transition job that's at the same level as most Knights, how would we be able to pass the Regional Selection in the future?"
Anthony's brows furrowed. The hesitation he had felt when choosing his first transition job came back again.
However, in the end, he still said, "But without a teacher to guide us, it'll probably be hard for us to succeed in transitioning. Not to mention the fact that only three people in the history of the Empire have succeeded in transitioning into a Windstorm Sword Hero. How would we be able to succeed? "
"That's right," Jack sighed, "Where there are benefits, there are risks."
At this moment, they suddenly felt admiration for Fang Xingjian's courage in transitioning into a Windstorm Sword Hero.
On the other side, the moment Fang Xingjian returned to the villa, he took out a pen and paper and started taking notes.
"According to the requirements of the Windstorm Sword Hero, we'll have to make a three-month training plan."
