"Don't worry, just feel it." Said the Crab slightly embarrassed.
Focusing on the weapons ,Baaz once again sighed and decided to inspect them with care and tried to choose based on his knowledge of how the differents class he was given usually fight.
There was a lot to think about,he needed a place to stay for the night,he had a class to choose,and now the Crab was letting him choose a weapon.The situation was stressful as a bad choice here could be a decisive factor on whether he would survive later on.Taking a deep breath Baaz demanded a moment and gathered his thoughts and finally reviewed his options.From the get go he chose to eliminate the Spearman, from his point of view there was no way he was going to use a stick because as soon the enemy is close to you it over.The Swordsman was an okay choice, in other circumstances he wouldn't have hesitated but he knew the setbacks. Whitout a teacher to guide him,that was a huge no no,he wasn't delusional believing himself some kind of genius,heck he hadn't won a fight since he woke up here.
The warrior was too vague and even when he concentrated on it he only saw this:
[Warrior: A fighter who is very free in it combat style,some only use their fists as weapons and train their body till it becomes their armor.
Balthazar had no death wish,using his body as a weapon he would have laughed if he wasn't so busy trying to make sure he didn't screw up,also it was the same problem that he encountered with the Swordsman class.So here was also a big no,which only left him with the variant of Berserker class.

What is a Berserker?The Berserker is a breed of Fighter category,it's a class that place a big focus on dealing damage than defense.Berserkers have greater than normal physical defense compared to other warriors,they are often characterized by wearing less armor, being less civilized, and being able to fly into a monstrous rage that increases their damage output or allow them to do more damage based on how hurt they are.They are some of the best fighters out there,but even with all these qualities they were very rare breed,the cause,their main skill.Berserk.
A skill that is so fearsome and that allows a Berserker to be unbeatable in a fight with people on the same level and sometimes even allows them to fight above their weight class.Their main skill Berserk is a skill that is so profound that it's potential cannot be unlocked by everyone as it is rumored that it's very high on the gradation ladders.It is also the same skill that also hold them back and make them a rare breed because the more power you receive, the more of your sanity is lost,and the more severe your injuries,you also exponentially become stronger.
Because of this Berserker are always feared and rare are the people willing to team up with them.Unaware of all of this Baaz was still torturing himself over what to choose.
"You know, overthinking can be very detrimental at times.Why are you hesitating so much?Learn that sometimesthere are things that you can't control and that overwhelming power is good no matter what other may say. " Said the Crab
For once,the Crab was behaving like a true sage,Baaz took a deep breath and readied himself now was finally time.Wasting any more on this, thinking will not get him anywhere so better get over with it.He then made his choice.
[ you have selected the T@#R$%U@#$E $%:% B #$$#erserker class]
It seems that the option was still bugged and for a moment,Bazz questioned if he made the right choice.Lost in his thoughts, he was caught unprepared by the pain that struck him.He felt as if his body was imploding,his veins swelled and blood started oozing out of his orifices and for a small instant he felt his consciousness slip away and had to lean on a wall behind him to not fall down.
Soon enough, the pain receded and a feeling of power remained,he had changed,he felt it,his mind was clear and his thinking ability augmented.In wonder,he examined himself and found something,it was deep inside of him. It was new and at the same time was there from the beginning ,he instinctively felt that he could move it,this was mana.Next,he opened his status window and took in the changes.

"Hey,Hermit,why does the skill tab stays blank?,I didn't receive any skills."said a confused Baaz
" Calm down boy,skill is not given it is earned what did you think? The system is not sentient,it helps everyone and is not biased.Here take those."
Three books appeared and floated in the air,
" Are those skills books?" Baaz asked
" Yes they are, pick two of the lot. And take this " Said the Crab throwing him a ring. Having caught it Baaz was going to retort when the Crab cut him by saying
" Just pour in your mana but do that later now choose."
Doubtful did what he was told and put the ring on his finger and Baaz used inspect on the skills books and he got.
