I seemed to have gained 15 levels in Monster Tamer. Every job had two ways to level it. The first method was to do the job. For a blacksmith, it’d be blacksmithing. The second way was to battle with that job equipped. It was easy for someone like me who could use multiple jobs, but it was dangerous if not impossible for most people.
I was also a Support Class so unlike True Dungeon Diver or Magician, it leveled a bit easier than some of those other jobs. The only reason True Dungeon Diver had leveled so much is that I had completed so many dungeons. Had it been considered a support class; I’d probably have more levels than White Mage. Similarly, completing a difficult monster taming was apparently enough to give Monster Tamer a lot of levels.
I was excited because it was the ability I had wanted most after White Mage. My play style had always been to have a lot of pets and then send them into battle while I managed things from behind. Looking around at the five girls around me, I realized they might not be too happy about me replacing them with monsters.
Still, I managed to get the ability. I used my understanding of Slave Master to cheat a bit. A lower-level job like Slaver likely wouldn’t have been enough to do what I did. On top of that, Celeste’s song also had a major effect on my ability to do this.
“Ah, Celeste!” She had fallen to the ground at the end of her song.
I reached down and picked her up. She was only about a foot tall at the moment, as she needed to be this size to have the room to do her dance.
“M-master… I’m okay… just tired.” She responded breathily.
I used Refresh on her right away. As I did that, I checked her jobs. Her singing and dancing had also undergone some changes. Singing had risen up to level 25. This was an insane amount, but when you considered how well-matched she was with singing, it made sense that applying the lessons she got from the siren would cause experience buffs. However, she had also gained a new job, Magic Singer. This had only made it to level 2.
I assumed it was a lot like magic blacksmith. She had magician abilities already, and she mixed that with singer. She now had a new ability that allowed her to mix magic and singing. From now on, she’d be able to use songs as buffs if we needed it. This wasn’t quite as good as Miki’s buffs though, as she had to be actively singing for them to work. Furthermore, I imagine they wouldn’t affect monsters who couldn’t hear.
I checked Lydia too and found that her Dancing had increased to level 5. A quick look at Shao and she didn’t gain the dancer ability. Well, her dancing was more like Tae Bo anyway, so it probably wasn’t enough to get it from one attempt.
As Celeste got back to her feet, or place as she sat on my shoulder, I noticed a small pile of glittery ash on the floor. I immediately recognized this substance, although it had been a long time since I had seen it.
“Fairy Dust,” I said excitedly. “Celeste, you made fairy dust!”
