Guildmaster

[Guildmaster]

Welcome.

I apologize for

making you go

through the maze.

I saw your resume just now. You're well known as a Thief with guts. Rarely do we receive potential Assassins of your stature.

May I ask you some questions if you don't mind? You don't have to be nervous. Just remember: if you lie, I will kill you.

First off, what do you think is the priority of an Assassin?

More power...

Yes, you may think

of Assassins as much

stronger than Thieves.

However, for what reason do you wish for more power? To show off? Personal revenge? For what purpose will you use this power?

Why do you want

to be stronger

than you are now?

Revenge...?

Yes, I understand. All of us hold grudges against someone else eventually.

However, keep in mind that we are not allowed to be emotionally attached. Carry out your duties without question. That is our way.

Being an Assassin means

to abandon the ego.

Financial reasons...? I won't deny that we all need money to live. But being Assassin means living for a higher purpose.

to abandon such worldly

attachments...

Good idea. Traveling around the world will allow you to broaden your experiences.

Most of us tend to avoid gathering into groups though, but I'm sure you already caught that, yes?

In a way, being an Assassin is to live life in loneliness...

An Assassin's pride...

Did other Assassins tell you that...?

Pride is certainly important, but pride is worth nothing if you do not have any ability.

Most of the Assassins you've met before me are brethren that have shared many difficult times together.

I can understand why their pride and dignity would be so important to them. Now, for what reason do you wish to become an Assassin?

You got the point...

We are lonely. We will always be alone, even amongst each other...

In a way, being

an Assassin equals

nothing, I would say.

But, as I told you before, we have comrades. I recommend having at least one comrade to back up you when you're on a mission.

Well, I can't deny it, we do need money to make a living. But don't you think we should pursue something even more important than money?

Style and appearance is only superficial. It is sad that many people think this way...

Such disgraceful Assassins that have lost their true focus are dealt with in our own manner...

Don't forget...

Assassins don't toy around. We are not into a style or trend, and we never will be.

Endless Practice...

I think you have what it takes. Is there a reason you want to be an Assassin?

Unlike the Thief class, the Assassin job doesn't allow self-indulgence. Tell me the

reason you train endlessly.

Learning skills comes naturally with the Assassin job. But don't think of skills as the best value of your training.

You won't be satisfied in becoming an Assassin if you think this...

It's a goal of yours, eh? Well, I guess you've got to have goals...

I once knew a person who had goals. Long ago, I met someone on assignment who wanted to keep from getting killed before becoming a level 54 knight.

It's to bad I had to kill him before he was level 52... *Sigh* Oh well.

I'm a bit worried about you. I hope you realize that once you become an Assassin, there's no turning back...

Good idea...

That is a good way to improve yourself. I've seen many people who know how to be strong physically but not in their mental state.

I hope you're not a hypocrite. Spiritual discipline is the best way for you to survive.

Sadly, there are some nit-wits who are eager to be Assassins even though they don't know anything...

They cause problems and bring us disgrace. Their activities often result in horrible situations.

Be careful lest you become one of them once you become an Assassin. The responsibility rests solely on your shoulders...

So if you could become an Assassin right now, what is the first thing you would do?

Hunt...

Is that all...?

Don't act recklessly...

Being an Assassin never makes you a different person. And don't rely on chance.

It is good for one to examine oneself. I can understand that you will be excited by the great change in your ability.

In the meantime, I hope you won't forget the Assassin mentality.

Very well...

Exploring places you've never seen before. But know that being an Assassin never makes you a different person.

Don't force yourself too much.

Take your time and travel wisely.

Who is waiting

for you, might I ask?

I see...

Appreciate them for caring about you, even when you're alone.

Great...

Comrades for whom you would die for...

As an Assassin, find a job that you can do for them without them knowing..

Haha, the needs of the body are sometimes hard to ignore. It's best to accept that part of human nature.

But you must never reveal to her the Assassin side of your life. No matter what it takes.

But you must never reveal to him the Assassin side of your life, no matter what it takes.

Love your beloved forever, even if you can't openly express it. Sometimes, life doesn't allow you to find true love more than once.

That's most admirable. Is there anything that you would like to ask me about?

It all depends on your mind. Any place could be the best to level up according to your mind state.

You must know how to

survive in any situation.

There are many Assassins out there. Look to them as your trainers, and ask for their opinions.

I hope you will become an excellent Assassin. And when you reach a certain level, you must guide newbies as your trainers have.

Oh my lord...

Are you planning to become an Assassin in order to make money?

People of that nature are unwelcome. If such is your goal, you may wish to reconsider your job...

It was nice to meet you. You reminded me of the good ol' days.

Please give me

one second...

Those involved with the testing of

They will

be here soon.

[The Anonymous One]

I am here.

I would like to listen to your opinion of

Ah yeah...

I think

is decent.

Well...

The Anonymous One

supports you. How

about you, Huey?

[Huey]

A rarity.

You can tell

by the job level.

I agree with

the Anonymous One.

Although

If it's alright with you, I'd like to get back to my job.

Yes...

That is all, Huey.

So...

'Beholder,' what

is your opinion?

[Beholder]

Well, I don't like the course score. But, somehow the whole test was passed. I'm okay with this person.

Hmm...

It seems we are all in agreement. Good. I don't have any problem with

Even though you're driven by personal revenge, I hope it will go away as you train...

Even though your main concern for now is being a rich, I'm sure you'll pursue something even greater...

Eager to travel all around the world, I hope your real identity is found in your journeys...

You seem to know a lot about Assassins. I don't think frustration from being alone will be difficult for you...

You have an idiocy about money, but I believe that you should be able to overcome it.

Although I do not trust you for now, I will give you a chance...

Even though you're enamored with Assassins superficially, I believe you will realize the real value of the Assassin job sooner or later.

One of the rare people who seeks better skills, I hope you will realize the importance of spiritual discipline sooner or later.

Sooner or later, you will find a new goal to which you can devote yourself...

I know some people care only about their physical training, but

I believe you stand out amongst them...

Well, I've said too much. Please choose a weapon as a present.

You can choose a Jur, Katar, Main Gauche, or a Gladius. As a master, I love them all.

A Jur...

Good choice. There you are. I hope it will serve you well.

A Katar...

Here you are.

Although it's used,

I know it will

serve you well.

I see. You want to use both hands. Here, take your Main Gauche.

A Gladius...

It used to rule over the Assassin weapon market. Please take care of my gladius.

Well, I talked too much.

Please take this first.

Well, I am giving you a token. Please return to the Assassin expert, the Ferocious-Looking Huey, at the entrance.

Upon receiving this token, Huey will promote you to an Assassin.

You,

Okay, all of you may go back to your positions. I will send you to the entrance as well. Let's move...

Umm...?

How come you're in here...?

You already finished your test. Why don't you go try to get the Necklace of Oblivion so you can change your job?

What the hell? You pressed 'Cancel' during the process. Do you want to change your job or what?

*Sigh...*

Ok, let's start again. If you don't listen this time, you won't leave this room alive. You got me?

Umm? How come your in here?

You already finished your test, go give your Necklace of Oblivion to the Ferocious-looking guy so you can change your job!
