Chapter 308: League of Champions

Swellgoing immediately spoke out his mind, "I think it is unwise, sister Jeanny. There is very little we know about the wilderness, it is unnecessary to take the risk to…"

"I have already accepted the system quest," Jeanny interrupted him.

Jack grinned at Swellgoing and said, "if you feel it is risky, there is no need for you to join and…"

"I have accepted it as well! If sister Jeanny is going, so am I!" Swellgoing announced with conviction.

"I have accepted as well," Giant Steve said.

"Me too," Viral Cora added.

"Well, then I guess I should not be left behind," Salty Trade said.

"Well, it does sound interesting. I will join for the sake of seeing the horizon of this world," John said, then he added, "for those who are cowards, it is okay to decline this quest."

"Who the hell do you call cowards?" The Man exclaimed. "If the boss needs our help, there is no need to ask, we will be the first ones to join! Any of you who do not accept this quest is no longer Men of Solidarity!"

"There is no need for you to rile us up, you know," Bowler said to John. "We are brother Storm Wind's best friends. We are sure to join if he needs our help, whether there is a benefit or not. Especially me, his number one best friend!"

"It was not my intention to rile them up," John replied. "I simply see it as an opportunity to throw them an insult."

Bowler ignored the guy. He turned to Flame and asked, "what about you?"

"I have already clicked the accept button once the quest showed up," Flame said.

"Hahaha, and you said you are his number one best friend," John laughed at him.

"Shut up! I'm clicking accept right now!"

"What about you two?" Jack asked John's two sidekicks, Weird Trap and Pointy Tip.

The two looked at each other before looking at John, who said, "hey, don't look at me. I told you before you have to make your own choices. Don't rely on me for every decision."

They looked at each other again. Trap said to Tip, "well, this seemed like a fun group. I think it will be more interesting going with them rather than stay here in the capital and redo the same dull activity every day."

"I agree," Tip said. The two of them then accepted the system quest.

"So I guess everybody had signed up?" Jack asked.

"I am pretty sure Trinity Dawn would be interested. Will the system quest popped up if it is me that gives her the invitation?" Jeanny asked him.

"To be honest, I don't know. But our departure is in the morning two days from now. So I can offer her the quest when we meet up then, or I can make time tomorrow for another meet-up again to offer her the quest. Just send me a message."

"All right," Jeanny nodded. "Sweet Talk, Bitter Rain, and Wondrouslife should also be interested to join. As long as they passed their advanced class trials. I see now why you are asking only for one who already gets their advanced class."

"Why is that?" Viral Cora asked.

"Because, little lass, if you have not, you will have to wait a possible of several months before going back to the capital and have the chance to apply for the trial again," it was John who answered.

Viral Cora glared at the man. She did not appreciate being called little lass. John completely disregarded her stare. He instead asked Jack, "where do we gather the morning two days from now?"

"We gathered at the North gate. You should be able to see the soldiers gathering at that place and you will know that you have come to the right place," Jack answered.

Exceeding Jack's initial expectation, everyone had ended up joining. It was all thanks to the system quest popping up, making this a formal quest. If not, he doubted that most will join. Maybe Flame, Bowler, and The Man would, seeing it as returning the favor for saving them before. The others had no such moral obligation.

Afterward, they chatted on some other less serious topics. Many of them were interested to know more about the factions, so Jack explained to them to the best of his knowledge. Peniel helped to cover the topic from behind the scenes.

Jack reminded them to buy an Amulet of Rebirth and equipped it, since he did not know the real danger that they might encounter on the way. Even though they had the army as their shield, some unknown occurrence might still happen. Bowler asked if he would wear the amulet as well, Jack replied that he did not need to. Everyone just thought of him being cocky, while the real reason was that he had a secret Immortal Soul inherent skill.

They ended up spending another three hours inside the private room. The drinks were on Jack so most of them capitalize on this by drinking without reservations. Jack did not mind, this small expenditure was nothing to him.

The next morning Jack woke up pretty late due to all the drinkings. It appeared that one could still get drunk in this game world. He had been thinking about what to do for today before he departed with the expedition. He had done the preparation required for the expedition. Spending the day for another monster grinding seemed dull. He had first thought about going to the Adventurers Association to see if there was any short quest, but one could never be certain with these quests. If he ended up not completing it today, he would have wasted it instead.

After some pondering, he asked Peniel, "you said there were many league factions, right? You mentioned as well that it is better to just concentrate on one or two factions?"

"Yes, trying to tackle all of them will just have you end up with mediocre achievement in any of them. Not to mention that there were many which you will not be able to join due to your class and auxiliary skills limitations."

"I understand. So, any particular one you want to recommend for me?"

"Most obvious choice should be picking a league faction that catered specially to your Warrior or Mage class. Apart from leveling up and technique books, the next favorite option for gaining new skills are from these League factions."

"All right then, let's try to join them today. What is the league faction most suitable for Warrior and Mage class?"

"You want to join both of them?" Peniel asked.

"Why not?" Jack asked back.

"Never mind. Your dual-class is an anomaly, so I guess you joining both should be okay. Anyway, the most privileged league faction for the Warrior class should be the League of Champions. They not only possess skills for Warrior, but also the skills for the other four classes that branched out of the Warrior class. So joining this faction will be beneficial as well in your future. A similar league faction for Mage class is called Order of Magi."

"All right, let's go there then," Jack said.

"Which one do you want to go to first?" Peniel asked.

"League of Champions, of course. Melee is still my main class," Jack replied.

He asked Amy and Samantha the direction to this league faction. It was nearby the edge of the business district bordering the noble district. Similar to the academies, but in a different section of land.

Although he still not yet explored the entire capital, he was more accustomed to this city already so he did not have too much trouble finding the place.

The building that housed the League of Champions was much more grand compared to the academies he had visited when he changed his class. Its building had a baroque style with twisted columns and a colossal dome top. Four sections extended out from the main building creating a sense of four separate buildings attached to it. A large sculpted cartouche decorated the top of its main entrance with League of Champions words chiseled on it.

Jack went through this main entrance and was greeted by a palatial hall. Sunlight went through the openings on the ceiling, granting the massive foyer an additional layer of grandeur. There were many NPCs in the foyer, but because of its large size, the place did not feel crowded. Several armed guards stood in attention in the four corners of the hall.

Jack looked around trying to identify a fixed station like a receptionist where he could ask for information about joining the faction, but he could not find any. At the opposite wall of where he came from was a row of arched openings that seemed to lead to another area, so he went there.

He went through the openings and came to a smaller hall. Inside there was finally a booth with manned staff which he could ask for information. It was a circular booth at the center of the hall. There were three staff inside the booth. One was talking with another NPC while the two others were unoccupied.

Jack went to one of the two free staff and asked, "good morning, I would like to ask about joining the League of Champions."
