"Has he learned it yet? Can he really succeed in leveling up? Isn't that job class supposed to be exclusive to blackblood elves? "
The golden-haired girl's beautiful face was filled with worry as if she was worried about whether or not the person she was talking about would succeed in leveling up.
"Indeed, it should be exclusive to my species, but that damned talent is completely unreasonable. Although he's still a bit rusty, he's already passed the most difficult stages without even realizing it. There shouldn't be any problems left, so … "
Su Nanna didn't even try to hide her pride. After all, if a student learned well, the teacher would be proud as well.
"… So?"
Isabella sucked in a breath of cold air. She seemed to have already seen her end.
"Give up on resisting and continue eating grass for the rest of the month … Can't you learn from your mistakes? You're obviously going to lose every bet you make, yet you still take the initiative to make bets. Hmph, I don't care about other people's bets, but you have to pay me on time. Otherwise … you'll know the consequences of offending a blackblood elf assassin! "
"… Didn't you keep emphasizing that you're a ranger and not an assassin? You're an assassin now? How can an elf be like this? It's so convenient. "
Isabella had a dejected expression, but she couldn't change the fact that she was already bankrupt.
That's right. Why would Isabella be worried about whether or not Rorschach would succeed in leveling up? She was only worried about whether or not she would go bankrupt in the small bets she made in private.
While Rorschach was working hard on his training, his unscrupulous companions were betting on whether or not he would succeed in leveling up. And, most people didn't think that Rorschach would succeed.
Since Isabella was betting that Rorschach would fail, that was also because most people didn't think that Rorschach would succeed in leveling up.
Although it was true that the higher the job class, the more difficult it would be to level up, that wasn't always the case. Some low-level job classes would find it much more difficult to level up than high-level job classes, and some job classes wouldn't even be able to level up if they didn't meet the requirements.
This was especially true for job classes that were unique to other species. The chances of leveling up for other species were zero.
It was basically impossible for a beastman berserker job class without the berserk talent. As for the dwarf job class of Boulder Shield Guardian, only a dwarf who had awakened the racial talent of petrifying their skin could level up.
The Cliff Walker job class wasn't abnormal to the point that one needed to have racial talents in order to obtain it. However, the number of people who had successfully obtained it in the past could be counted on one hand, and most of them were high-level rangers who had to re-learn the skills of this low-level job class. Even so, the success rate was still extremely low.
Featherfall was a spell-like ability of the dark elves from the era of the Spider Queen. It could be considered as a simplified racial talent. Spider Movement was a very practical spell for the races that worshipped the Spider Queen, especially the dark elves who lived in the underground world.
These two abilities were only the prerequisites for a Dark Elf's advancement. The worst part was that the Dark Elves' innate abilities weren't natural talents.
After living in the Underground for so long, the dark elves' eyes became afraid of bright light. However, their night vision was greatly improved, and their five senses were astonishingly sharp. The complex geography of the Underground meant that dark elves needed to have a pair of eyes that were extremely useful in dark or low-light environments. They needed to be able to sense danger from a sufficient distance.
This was absolutely necessary, especially for this job class. When moving in midair or climbing walls, the dark elves' excellent night vision would be able to lock onto the next weak point in advance and avoid danger … It seemed simple?
Fine then, many things "seemed" simple. However, the dark elves needed to maintain their balance while tumbling, and then instantly observe their surroundings and choose where to land. Their ridiculously difficult night vision requirements had already eliminated all humans.
Were the wood elf sentinels' night vision requirements really high? However, this was nothing compared to the dynamic night vision of the cliff walkers. The cliff walkers had to constantly maintain 360-degree observation and perception of their surroundings while moving at high speed. Choosing a landing spot with their hands and feet in coordination was basically destined to be the specialty of the elves.
For most agile elves, it wasn't difficult for them to maintain their balance while standing on a tree branch. Trained dark elves were even capable of improving their balance in areas where it was inconceivable, such as stepping on spider webs … This was something that ordinary humans obviously couldn't do.
Maintaining balance while in midair at all times and knowing one's position no matter how chaotic the situation was required. This required a three-dimensional spatial perception. Although this could be improved through training, it was more of a type of talent.
For example, some people would easily get carsick, while others would crazily spin 360 degrees and become more energetic. These things could only be explained by natural talent.
For example, 90% of astronauts and pilots would be eliminated from the very beginning. Even among the dark elf tribes who were generally agile and skilled in combat, less than one in ten would become a Cliff Walker.
The reason why the job class was called a job class was because there was a certain division of labor between jobs. Job class holders would have special skills that would allow them to do things that others couldn't. Meanwhile, the job classes unique to every species had strict requirements for talent and ability. This job class would directly say "no" to other species.
Logically speaking, Rorschach was a mixed-blood between a wood spirit and a human. Wood spirits and elves looked similar in appearance, but they were completely different species. Wood spirits had mediocre agility. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Rorschach to learn the job class skills prepared for dark elves. In fact, from the very start, Su Nanna shouldn't have tried to have Rorschach learn this job class advancement.
However, Su Nanna didn't want to.
Not only did she choose the most difficult job class advancement for Rorschach, she even intentionally concealed the difficulty of this job class advancement … Or, it could be said that under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Rorschach to achieve this job class advancement.
It was precisely because Isabella knew all this that she was so unlucky in gambling that she decided to gamble again.
As a local resident of this world, Isabella had the basic knowledge of this world. In her eyes, Isabella felt that Su Nana was completely messing around, and that Rorschach was doing something completely useless. Just like how a rooster wouldn't be able to fly, forcefully trying to fly was complete nonsense. How could a hybrid of a wood spirit and a human possibly become the hardest job class to level up in the dark ranger job class system?
Isabella felt that she was truly in the bag this time, so she happily started gambling again, continuing to live up to her fate of losing every single bet she made …
However, Su Nanna had her reasons for making such a decision.
"That damned natural talent ability of his is completely unreasonable. If he thinks that he can learn it, then he really can."
That day, while chasing after Rorschach for thousands of kilometers, Su Nanna had this thought after witnessing Rorschach's rapid improvement in ranger skills.
And the development of reality was just as Su Nanna had expected. In fact, it was even better than the best result she had expected.
Not only did Rorschach gradually grasp the Cliff Walker's techniques, but the most inconceivable thing was that his originally weak dynamic vision, hearing, and sense of balance were all improving at an obvious rate.
Driven by the concept of "I can do it", his "talent of honesty" was causing his physical body to evolve in order to adapt to his own needs.
Su Nanna had intentionally concealed and misled him for this purpose.
Rorschach only faintly guessed at something, but he wouldn't really say it out loud, nor would he check and compare the difficulty of a normal rank 2 ranger's training, or how long it would take.
As for Su Nanna, the reason why she was working so hard was naturally not just to win against that female gambler who would lose every single bet she made.
Su Nanna nodded in satisfaction as she watched Rorschach climb up the tower. She opened her mouth as if she was talking to herself, but she was actually communicating with her God.
