Flora strolled back to her apartment. On the way, she ordered and collected clothes with mana regeneration. She already had a set, but some of the items had inferior stats. Now every slot of her equipment list was filled with a + 2 OV item of at least A rating.
Head: Embroided Satin Cap
Torso: Embroided Satin Blouse
Hands: Embroided Satin Gloves
Legs: Embroided Satin Pants
Feet: Slippers of Leyline Walking
The new outfit pushed her magical regen over 40 OV in the church with its buff, which translated to eight elementals. The spell Summon Elemental was at level 22 after the merge, and she wanted to get it as high as possible this night.
"I want an at least B-rated elemental of every element with the Re-Generate Spell. If one appears, spoil him to get his name, Aidan."
"How do I spoil an elemental, Milady?"
"Can we give him more mana-regen?"
"No, Milady. Bolstering elementals with mana to increase their rank is part of the Summoner class."
"Add this class on the ToDo-list. Prio C. Meanwhile, make them work extra hard. High performers may appreciate it, and we don't want slackers.
Aito, do you know whether Mia had the warrior class connected in her class tree? Maybe we could use her way of connecting for our missing link."
Aito posted the class-tree she assumed Mia had. Fifteen classes culminated in the class Tank-Expert as a root. It had Batticle Driver as predecessor and linked to Remote-Arms. That was the class integrating the classes of the warrior branch and driver predecessors.
Warrior → Sword-Master → Shield-Master → Remote-Arms
Marksman → Artillery → Remote-Arms
Driver → Drone Driver → Drone Conductor → Tech-Support → Remote-Arms
"Great class! Why didn't you say anything? Via Sword-Master, we could have connected Energy-Master to the rest of the tree."
Aitoshuri opened a bulletin-board page, and Flora's face fell. You had to complete a quest in the Cradle to acquire Remote-Arms.
"Never mind, put it on the ToDo-List, Aidan. I believe I will need the class to utilize my gizmos to the fullest. Prio B."
Meanwhile, Flora had reached her flat. Aito sent a picture of the library-container connected to the house grid.
"Great idea, dear. Then, you can read anytime you want. But please, respect your other duties."
Flora stacked Aidans and Haidans containers next to it the new library-container with Aito's poodle puppy box on top. She had to raise the ceiling another meter higher for the unreasonable price of 1000 VirDias.
Then, she fetched her own library-container that Aitoshuri could transfer her books to her space. The prospect of not carrying around the shitty romance novels induced a smile on Flora's tired face. But it went away when she thought about where she would spend the night.
After Flora entered the workshop, she was standing in front of the simulation-grounds. She stared at her immobile mirror with trepidation. Although she knew that it had not a consciousness anymore, she still hesitated to log in. The incident had spooked her.
It was well past Flora's bedtime, but she was in this treacherous state in which you felt wide awake because the tiredness clouded your judgment.
Again, she read the messages from her clones.
