The Scarlet Paladin

CH 3: Paladin powers



Following the older woman back to the guild building located at the center of Restol village. Trying her hardest not to watch the woman, her toned back and shapely ass bouncing slightly as she walked. Blaming her new appendage on the glances she stole. Passing the tavern the twins’ mother ran broke her out of her lustful gaze. Finally, she was able to join the merriment that occurred there on weekends.

A smug smile on her face, she did not notice Jasmine trailing the ladies. Jasmine was just as excited for Claire to receive her class, she had put aside quite a few opportunities to train Claire. 5 years had passed since Ryley was forced from the village and left Claire in that state. She looked at the woman before her with pride and feeling a warmth.

Jasmine smiled thinking back on the years of training. Claire’s first time sword fighting, teaching her footwork and the first time she saw her smile in a long while. That day is what made her decision to stay in this village worth it, bringing that smile back was one of her favorite achievements. It made her growing feelings awkward. She did not know if they were feelings of familiarity or growing feelings of attraction.

Stuck deep in her thought, Jasmine nearly got caught. Barely  missing a  twig, she cursed at herself. To think, an experienced assassin like herself almost made a noise while trailing her target. When was the last time she was this close to being caught or making a noise. She chuckled and hid behind a tree right outside the guild hall. She only wanted to see the reactions of Claire, knowing her class was up to Claire’s decision.

 

Claire took a deep breath in front of the guild’s door, wondering what was waiting for her. She took a step in the door and followed the chief into her office. Before her was a dark, wooden desk with two chairs facing it. Papers and quills scattered on the desk and the magical device used to classify each individual’s class. “Sit please”, Elizabeth ordered.

“Yes ma’am,” Claire said. She sat before the device taking in its details. A right hand print with gemstones on the tip of each finger, mana circuits ran through the device to a secondary device, one that looked to attach to a person’s left hand. Both feeding back to another device with a handprint. One that Claire assumed Elizabeth would use to power the device.

“Put your hand in this,” She said as she held up the second device, it looked almost like an inflated glove. Claire hesitantly put her hand into the device, feeling the pinpoint that’d add her class sheet. A sheet only she was able to access, tethered to her own mana. “Next, set your other hand on this” Elizabeth said.

With more confidence, Claire set her hand on the first device and took a deep breath. Closing her eyes, she waited. A flash of light penetrated her eyelids causing her to open them, then a pain in the back of her left hand. Just a small poke, with pain that went away rapidly. She felt her mana surge within her body and a sheet appeared before her. Almost as if a piece of parchment was floating before her very eyes.

 

Paladin of Virility: Carry out the Goddess’s will as her chosen champion.

“So that’s what the goddess ruled over” Claire thought to herself. Thinking hard for a name, none came to mind. She knew the goddess of fertility, but this aspect wasn’t one of her powers. Racking her brain, no god or goddess she could think of were known to reign over virility. But, it did explain her new addition. Shifting in her seat, she continued.

 

Level: 1

HP: 20/20

Mana: 10/10

Exp: 0

 

Bestower of the Goddess: Spread her gift to Lovers. Consuming your sexual fluids allows other women to grow a penis. Accepting the gift makes them a Bestowed Lover.

Buff of the Bestower: Gain power through spreading her gift. Gain additional stats in the Bestowed Lover’s primary stat and vice versa. Buff increases with the bond formed between Bestower and Bestowed.

Aura of the Bestower: Bestowed Lovers within the Bestower’s vicinity gain defense, resistance and healing over time. Healing and stat buffs increase with the Paladin’s defense and resistance stat.

Defensive Strike: Channel your defense into a powerful counter attack. Power increased with defense and the target's strength. (Higher defense than target’s strength increases the damage) Cooldown 5s

 

Her eyes widening and her breath caught, three of them were completely different then she was expecting. The fourth one was a common defensive based class skill, but the other three made her mind race. Just thinking about the first one, spreading “the gift” made her cock perk up between her legs. Regretfully, just thinking about it was awakening her gift. Taking a deep breath, and ignoring thinking of the other skills for now, she moved on to her stats.

 

Strength: 6                Magic: 1

Dexterity: 4         Resistance: 7

Constitution: 6           Wisdom: 4  

  Charisma: 4              Divinity: 5

Defense: 8                             

Thankfully, her stats came out normal. Having low magic made sense as most healing and buffs come from the divinity stat. Magic was more elemental, illusion, or summoning based, if not used for magic devices. Everything else seemed normal, her defense and resistance stats being high made sense as her class was more of a tank. Everything else looked normal, very rarely were people given classes with stats above 10 at level 1. 

After finishing her examination of the stat sheet, she closed her eyes and had it disappear. Looking into the older woman’s deep blue eyes, she finally spoke. ”I received a Paladin class that focuses on defense and buffing my allies.” She declared.

Elizabeth smiled, showing off the wrinkles of age on her face,” A paladin is a bit surprising, never took you for a religious type”

“I’m not, not more than any other. Don’t even know the name of the goddess I’m sworn to.” Claire responded

“Maybe future skills will reveal her name,” she said. Her eyes seemed to zone out to a thousand yard stare as she pursed her lips. Claire could only guess what the lady was thinking. To ask about her skills, stats, any current clues about the goddess maybe? After a prolonged pause, she focused back on Claire. ”No need to worry right now, you should be celebrating!”
