An let go of Tam, because a much bigger problem was at hand. Though he was not looking for any trouble, he sure as hell was prepared for one, way too prepared in fact.
"Tell him I'm not joining any guild, those never turn out well. Unless he wanted to give me his guild." An said.
Tam translated exact that to Steve. To which he sighed.
"One more chance, An, please reconsider your options... We'll pay you handsomely, provide you perks, protection, and many more."
Before Tam could translate that sentence, An shook his head and waved the 5 men away, ignoring them completely without understanding the sentence.
Steve Rogers gave him a bright smile, a really, really, really bright smile, with his head fuming 1800s steam.
"Alright, so we can't recruit you then."
With one simple hand gesture from Steve Rogers, the rest of his guild knew exactly what to do. Four of them surrounded An immediately from all sides.
"But that proves you'll be a threat to us, either you'll form your own guild or join Shreya's. So we gonna ask nicely this one time, do you, or do you not-"
Before Steve Rogers could finish his sentence, An threw an uppercut at one of the four members of Crimson Circulation.
He aimed at the frail looking guy with long hair who was blowing a bubblegum, yet the next second, his punch somehow landed on the tank guy with a face mask and armor?!
"Damn these Strategists..." An muttered.
Name: Steve Rogers
Class: Strategist
Skill: Tactical Relocation (E)
Allows the user to relocate between members of the same party with prior consent given, though the user is unable to relocate themself.
Essentially, a skill that switches place between two people if they both agreed to the Strategist's control beforehand. This could be deadly if you forgot to disband the party and gets prank by switching place a sailor to be sleeping in the same bed as the captain's daughter.
His punch was quite powerful, but the facemask absorbed most of the damage, the tank guy, with broad shoulders and visible muscles groaned. He didn't have any other items but the facemask and body armor.
Name: Humon Gorgus
Class: Tank
Skill: Taunt (F)
Allows the user to make someone focus their next attack on the user, if the attack is AoE, the attacker is incentivised to make the user its origin point.
"You scared me, Asian man."
The frail guy that An was trying to suckerpunch popped his bubble gum and spoke up... It was a feminine voice? Turns out, it was a woman with shorter hair that have some masculine traits to her skin.
Name: Emily Emily
Class: Attacker
Skill: Health Break (D)
Allow the user to apply the status effect [Unhealthy] to the receiver of the next attack, duration based on how deep the wound is.
*Unhealthy: The applied can not heal themself up to 80%maxHP
Emily Emily[1] then pulled out something from her belt buckle, a concealed nunchuck. That was indeed one of the more uncommon items that The Tower of Apocolypse does not refuse unlike guns and other niche stuff, but it wasn't native so there is no stat on it, just pure pain.
"A D-rank skill... Rare at this level for a basic class."
Opposite of her was another Attacker with a different skill, this guy held a Dagger with Very Small attack stats. He had his cloak over his head, body completely hidden from view, as if he was an assassin... This guy would do great switching class with Mountain based on their visual physique.
Name: Spirough Letter
Class: Attacker
Skill: Opportunist Strike (F)
The more hits the user unintentionally misses, the more damage they'll deal in their next hit, stacking up to 10.
A concerning threat, to say the least.
The next guy was just a really, really skinny and frail guy with no soul in his eyes. Yet he was An's biggest problem by far, because when the four of them was grouped together like this, he shined bright even more with his insanely OP skill.
Name: Sikko Valut
Class: Healer
Skill: Circle of Heal (F)
Allow the user to create an AoE circle, having them as the source to provide a burst of healing in the 5 meter radius to everyone, including bosses.
"Quite lucky, you are."
An whispered in Vietnamese, thinking about how most healers won't get the chance to fully use this skill.
"Of course, I'll get the heals, but not if I'm hit by Health Break... A good team you've assembled."
Then suddenly, Steve Rogers noticed something, his eyes widened, pupils squeezed and he frowned, rubbing his chin while looking at An.
"He seems like he was reading something..."
Steve's voice began to grow terrified.
"Can he... See the classes and skills of my teammates?"
[1] yes, her full legal name
