Chapter 54: Rewards and skill selection

/// Before moving forward with the story many of you requested for the detailed outlook about the warfare test in intelligence stat test , hence here is a quick description about the part/// 

-------------------

( Warfare test , slight past ) 

congratulations on clearing the second stage of the intelligence stat test adventurer , you have 30s to prepare for the last one 

Rudra prepared for the last test ..... It was a test of strategy and warfare. Each side was given 200 troops with 100 infantry , 50 cavalry and 50 archers. The system took the approach of dividing the entire platoon into 4 equal squads with 50 soldiers each. 

The system placed three squads linearly in front , and the last squad primarily consisting of archers was placed behind the central squad in first line forming a small backwards T 

Rudra took a different approach , he arranged his troops into a bow formation making a reverse arch , the first line being infantry , followed by cavalry , and lastly archers. 

He also dispatched 20 cavalry soldiers to take a wide flank in the battle to engage from the complete rear of the enemy annihilating their archers.

With the formation setup complete the warfare started and both sides showered arrows on the infantry ..... Rudra's side had a slight advantage in the infantry exchange in the first few minutes , however with the cavalry mixing into the frey Rudra's side quickly went on the defensive. 

There were only 50 cavalry soldiers total and with 20 being dispatched early it was clear why Rudra's side was on the loosing end. 

The situation looked grim for a bit , as the cavalry started decimating the lines. However with Rudra's flankers suddenly appearing behind the archers the situation turned. 

The archers were defenseless against the cavalry at close range. And were slayed mercilessly. Now a two pronged assault the system army was sandwiched between two sides where back could not be shown to either side. 

However it still had a numerical advantage hence the battle struggle kept going... In the end only 17 soldiers from Rudra's side managed to walk out of the war. Rudra cleared the stage successfully. 

The system notification rang .... Congratulations on clearing the last stage of the intelligence test..... Now onto vitality....

Rudra could never have imagined such amazing rewards..... Him just 5 minutes ago and him now were incomparable , this is the disparity between tiers. This is why he urged his guild to upgrade tiers as soon as possible .... With 50 tier one members , they could decimate the enemy ranks.

Most dont know this yet as the pet and mount slots have yet to be opened however Rudra knew that in. ' OMEGA' all pets had a personality like the NPC, just because you had a mount did not mean they would obey you ..... You needed to feed them take care of them and even they got injured and needed to be healed . 

Your mounts may be suppressed or even killed in fights , they are not immortal , they may even flee at sign of danger or refuse to come out of the storage space all together .

If the pet does not respect the owner they may also not listen to the owners commands in battle. This skill was a lot usefull .

[ OATH OF SERVICE ] (KNIGHT CLASS SPECIAL) : Give this oath to someone whom you wish to serve and they can then summon you at any time for battle. 

+200% exp in summoned battles. 

A completely trash skill. Usually the reward for D classes. 

There were a total of 27 skills to choose from.... However Rudra aldready picked 2 even before coming here. He chose the Knights companion passive skill and Knights valor active skill. 

REWARD 4 : SPECIAL SKILL ( SSS REWARD) 

CHOOSE ONE OF THE THREE SPECIAL SKILLS 

( GOLDEN RATIO ) ( KNIGHT CLASS SPECIAL SKILL ) : The golden ratio for knight's class is 1:1:1:1:1 when stats are in this ratio all stats +150% 

(KNIGHTS DETERMINATION ) ( KNIGHT CLASS SPECIAL SKILL) : gives you 5 seconds of immortality after hp hits 0 . 

( MAGIC USER ) ( KNIGHT CLASS SPECIAL SKILL) : Unlock the mana stat , as knights use stamina to cast magic spells they tend to tire out too quickly compared to mages , also advanced spells cannot be cast .... Unlock mana stat and build your mana . 

Rudra was stunned silent ... Never in his previous life had anyone disclosed about the class special skills ..... And looking at them now , he wished to drool ! How can anyone choose just one???? He wanted all 3 ... None of them are passable.

Just what to choose???

/// Feel free to comment below what you guys think should be chosen ..... With good reasoning though .... Lets see if you guys can change my mind about the one i choose , also lets see if you can guess what m gonna choose ///
