21 Getting geared up!

P.S - Oliver won't be able to speak the human or orcish language of Azeroth. He must buy a skill for it first.

*************************************************************************************

Oliver used the worst excuses in existence and somehow escaped the trio of a calm and piercing Emily, visibly angry Ashely, and a Lena who had acquired the skill for shooting questions from a minigun.

Oliver observed the status menu of all his subordinates that Ellie had recorded for him. Most attributes required for fighting were between 7 and 8 points.

'As I suspected, everyone's constitution was raised by 10 points. Intelligence, on the other hand, seems to have either increased by 1 or 2 points... most probably 2. But what really surprises me is that Romano, Jeff, Ellie, and mom have some skills already.'

He checked the skill section of the other girls and didn't notice a skill related to athletics.

'Seems like you need to attain a certain proficiency in an activity before it turns into a skill.'

After spending some time thinking about his opponents, he came to a conclusion - Its completely stupid to defeat Orcs using strength.

'The melee weapons made by humans from Azeroth are perfectly capable of killing Orcs when used properly. And humans won most matches by using their smaller body frames, agility, and techniques. So, I think I should focus on increasing their Agility to 10 by investing my SVPs.'

"Orb, are there any cheap pieces of equipment that can considerably increase the Agility attribute?"

[There is only one worth less than 10,000 SVP. The Lesser blessing of Wind, an item that can increase your Agility attribute by 1%. It costs 2,000 SVP.]

'Hmm, completely useless at this point in time.'

*Sigh* 'Let's upgrade their agility, and choose the three free skills for them first.'

...

Oliver had decided to name the team of Emma and the four girls as Valkyrja. It was pretty consistent with his vision for the team - Invincible female Warriors.

Oliver decided that all the girls from Valkyrja, except Ellie, should have Wind Step, Berserk, and Melee Weapons Mastery as their stating skills. He wanted to train an able group of helpers and even the weakest helpers needed to start somewhere.

'Ellie already has a skill called Scientist.'

[Scientist (Level 3) - Helps learn new things 3 times faster.]

So, Oliver decided to increase her Spirit by 3 points.

'Hopefully, I can trick Khadgar into teaching her some magic. Melee Weapons Mastery & Wind Step should be able to act as a minimum form of self-defence. Though even in my own head that sounds completely stupid. Well, hopefully, I can somehow get some strong bloodline with an aptitude for intelligence and spirit soon. I will also select Orcish Language as the last skill because I don't think Orb provided the selection of skills willy nilly.'

'Now, Romano and Jeff. Both of them have Basic Short-range Firearm Mastery. A pretty self-explanatory skill. Jeff has a higher level in it... for obvious reasons. Jeff also has two more skills, Basic Long-range Firearms Mastery, and Kali Eskrima. Apparently, Kali Eskrima is a very practical and lethal style for fighting opponents using knives, so he won't need the Melee Combat Mastery. Romano, on the other hand, has a skill called Management.'

[Management (Level 2) - 6% Increase in intelligence when dealing with tasks related to the companies/institutions under his rule.]

After some more thinking Oliver decided to turn Romano into a leader figure, for handling cases when he won't be around to personally overlook them, and turn Jeff into the person with second strongest firepower in the group.

'I need someone to guard the non-combatants of the group while I'm completing the dangerous missions. Since he has a considerably good level in Firearms Mastery, so I should get him the strongest sniper rifle and the strongest pistol out there.'

[I suggest buying the Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle (Modified) and the Smith & Wesson .500 (Modified). As you can see by their name, they have been modified to double their penetration power. They each come with 500 rounds if you buy them together. The cost is 2,400 SVP.]

Oliver grit his teeth for a few seconds before finally deciding to buy them.

'I can't skimp on my ONLY strongest fighter. Jeff also has decades of fighting experience, something that attributes don't represent, but something that can easily turn tides in a fight between two people with similar attributes.'

Oliver finally looked at his mom, Emily, and Ashely. Due to being under a stressful situation, the trio seemed to have become good friends, as Lena was whispering about his embarrassing historical moments to two girls she barely knew.

'I can hear you perfectly fine you know! Ad my subordinates can too... they are trying to hold back their laughter so hard. Sigh, moms can be such a pain in the ass some times.'

Oliver knew that if he asked the three women to act like a damsel in distress, the plan would spectacularly backfire on him.

One was a strong-minded single mother, who also happened to be a lawyer.

'I have that it's futile to even attempt to win an argument with a woman. What about if that woman also happens to be a lawyer? Should I always keep the white flag handy?'

Emily happens to be from a family that always had too many expectations for her. They had her life completely planned out... without her consent. After becoming best friends with Ashely in middle school, she decided to start making her own decisions.

'And that's why she is struggling so hard to attend an acting class even though her parents go for fine dining five times a week.'

Ashely, since she was six years old, she has lived with a violent step-father and a codependent mother. Yeah, life was shit for her, so she decided to fight back... albeit she lost most of them. But that's where Emily came in, she would always be ready with a first aid kit outside the ring.

'Yup, no point in keeping them completely away from the action. Rather, I could ask them to manage the interactions with the king and other nobles. Orb already has provided the free skill called Aristocrat Trait. Since they don't have the Spirit, so no point in giving them any active skills. Might as well give them the Melee Weapons Mastery and Command skill to make them feel more included.'

[You can buy some lesser Healing Potions. They instantly recover 50 HP and they cost 200 SVP.]

'Hmm, sounds good. Sometimes only 50 HP is necessary to be alive. How many SVPs do I have left?'

[You have 2,100 SVP.]

'Sigh, even more SVP spending. Well, I want to buy 10 of those. Deposit one in everyone's inventory, except mine.'

[Are you ready for the mission?]

"Yes."
