The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Chapter 781 Hard Hearted



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Knowing that the choices were mostly generated 'randomly' based on unknown factors, Emilia's expectations for her primary profession hadn't been particularly high. But when she really saw what she got, the crimson-haired girl had to admit that her luck was pretty good.

Choice 1: [Princess Knight]

Choice 2: [Avenger]

Choice 3: [Mercenary]

Normally, players would only receive two choices, and one or both of them might be 'ordinary' ones. But Emilia not only got to pick from three, but two of them were 'rare' professions that were offered to only a select few.

Of course, just because they were rare didn't necessarily mean that these professions were superior. If anything, the most common 'Mercenary' profession might prove to be the most stable and powerful of them all.

After all, it allowed the player to greatly increase their compatibility with the mercenary guild, and also unlocked numerous hidden quests down the line. Not to mention, the skill it unlocked was 'Greed', which was considered one of the most useful late-game skills for solo players.

'But since I already have the 'Crimson Witches', becoming a mercenary wouldn't really be a very good choice…' Emilia hummed thoughtfully. 'Plus, it's boring.'

Cynthia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I already know which one you're gonna pick."

The crimson-haired elf giggled. 'It's not hard to guess, is it?' 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

The 'Avenger' was a good choice, but Emilia naturally wouldn't favor it much since it was also picked by one of the hero's cronies, and later on gave him the 'Lone Hero' passive skill, which ended up actually decreasing his overall stats when operating in a group.

Of course, this 'loss' could be considered insignificant compared to the boost it provided when one was operating alone, but Emilia was still quite a bit more interested in the first option.

If she recalled correctly, this profession was one of the 'highest rated' ones whenever there had been polls similar to 'the choice people regret making the most' or 'the worst traps in Arcadia'.

'Challenger's Charm' was the first skill one obtained after becoming a 'Princess Knight', and it basically 'hypnotized' the enemy into focusing solely on the player until one of them was defeated.

It was a wonderful skill for a 'tank', but as it was offered mostly to girls, and also seemed to exclude those who invested in 'Strength', it unfortunately turned out to be a nightmare for most and went completely unappreciated.

'Maybe this time around, I can give the 'Princess Knight' the reputation it deserves…' Emilia grinned.

She didn't hesitate much in making her choice, and the brief glow around her body from the 'status update' naturally startled her teammates.

"What the hell… did you make your choice already?!" Nico and Robin exclaimed almost simultaneously, while Danielle groaned. "Emilia… did you even think about it… or read what it said…?"

They'd still been pondering over their choices, and thinking about discussing it with everyone else before making such an important decision when they realized what Emilia had done.

Fortunately for them, Crystal and Sylvia had already gained a 'deeper understanding' of the crimson-haired beauty, and weren't nearly as surprised by her 'recklessness', though neither of them could stop Danielle from scolding the girl silly.

"Just how many times have I told you, even if you think you're super lucky and super skilled, you should at least talk to me first when you encounter this type of thing?!" The drill-haired girl held Emilia's delicate face in her hands, and squeezed her soft cheeks without mercy.

Danielle would never admit it, but she wasn't really as upset as she appeared. In fact, she'd just been wanting to pinch Emilia's face for a long time, and this just happened to be the perfect opportunity.

The soft and silky texture, and the springy feeling beneath her fingers were definitely worth the guilt of deceiving 'children'.

Danielle hummed in satisfaction. "Okay, answer me honestly, what did you pick?"

Luckily for her, Emilia didn't really mind her 'abuse' too much, and just answered honestly.

"P-Pwinshessh Knouight—?!"

For a moment, not to mention everyone else, but even Crystal was left stunned.

Although she'd seen Emilia 'act like a baby' plenty of times, with Dixie around, rarely had anyone had the courage to put Emilia in this type of position where she was forced to speak while 'enduring humiliation'.

The blonde girl couldn't help but shake her head. 'How… shockingly adorable.'

Unfortunately, the 'forced mispronunciation' finally embarrassed Emilia enough for her to struggle out of Danielle's 'claws', making her secretly sigh in disappointment.

Of course, Danielle couldn't escape from everyone's harsh criticisms for being such a 'bully', but to everyone's surprise, she graciously admitted her fault before they could even get started.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away." She coughed, cleverly not admitting that what she'd done was wrong. "Anyway, Princess Knight seems like a good choice. What happened after you picked it?"

Based on the glow that enveloped the crimson-haired girl, they could only assume that she received a status update similar to a level up, and Emilia's words soon confirmed the same.

"I got a new skill, um, 'Challenger's Charm', was it? Oh, and then it said that since I've unlocked my primary profession, my second class skill will also be unlocked." Emilia paused, then 'glared' at Danielle. "But you started bullying me before I could check it out. I don't even know what it does…"

The drill-haired girl could only cough awkwardly once more. "I-Is that so? That seems very important, so… can you check it out now and tell us more?"

Of course, that had been Emilia's goal from the start, and she didn't shy away from explaining 'what she saw' at all.

The 'Challenger's Charm' was naturally a great skill for a tank to have, and Danielle and the others could only sigh at Emilia's incredible luck.

At this point, they really had to wonder if the 'developer' of this game actually had a crush on Emilia, and was secretly stalking her to make sure she was always happy and comfortable.

Of course, when Danielle recalled what Darryl—the one who 'created' Arcadia—was like, she quickly shook off that absurd thought.

Not to mention Emilia, who just looked like an angel, maybe even if an actual goddess descended from the heavens, that guy's stone heart wouldn't be moved.
