Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"Let's decide on which big castle to target first. This is the most crucial step in the <Six Star> field."

As I succinctly summarized and explained the key points, everyone's breaths escaped in admiration.

"First step is the key, this is always your catchphrase during guild battle, isn't it?"

"I see. And I guess Zephyr already has the answer about the main points and the strategy?"

"Of course."

Hearing the words of Rina once again and Sierra, I nodded, slightly elated.

It's really fun to explain. Certainly, the real thrill in guild battle is to devise tactics. I am especially proud of my skills in explaining it to others and it is also the part I like most.

Coming up with strategies, reading opponent's movement, and then winning after them is the most satisfying feeling. That moment I confirm the defeated expression on the opponent's face, I get this urge to laugh loudly from the depth of my being. Fuhahaha!!

Anyway, after I explained our tactic cheerfully, it was now time to predict the opponent's plan.

"A great person in the past had once said 'If you know yourself and know your enemy, you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles.' To summarize, the crucial point is battle power and the foresight to read the opponent's moves."

"Of course. The number might be equal, but two guilds as whole are going to clash with each other. Opponent is most likely going to make their lineup full of combat job holders. I think this is going to be quite troublesome."

With my preface, Mert nodded and said.

It's a <15 Members Battle>, so we're expecting to face some hardship in this guild battle given the high battle power of the opponent.

After all, for <Eden>, who only has 15 members, it's seriously going to be an 'all-out' battle as everyone must participate in it, no matter whether they have a production job, support job, or don't have enough level.

In contrast, <Best of the Best, the Great Star> have 25 members, attributed to them forming a subordinate guild, and there's no doubt they are going to choose best out of them, that is, all chosen members are going to have combat specialized jobs.

First of all, that's where <Eden> is at disadvantage, at the specialized job option.

Next comes the average level. Surprisingly, the members in opposition all have high levels.

It would have been hard to imagine before, but there are quite a number of members with unlocked 3rd order skill trees under opposition wings. Of course, these members are upperclassmen.

In some bizarre turn of events that even I can't explain, 2nd and 3rd years students have joined under the leadership of guild master Saturn, a freshman, which should have been a rather impossible scenario in this meritocracy first world.

Why in the world are upperclassmen joining Saturn? Just why?—— I can't help but question myself.

But, originally impossible, now a reality, it wasn't something we could afford to turn a blind eye to.

"Rina, what is the battle power of the opponent?"

"Understood. I had been asked by Zephyr-san to investigate the opponent. That being said, it was a rather easy task."

First thing was to grasp the battle power of the opponent.

I had entrusted that matter to our strategist Rina. Though, all that needed to be done was to visit Meshilia-senpai's place that had dragged <Best of the Best, the Great Star> and hear from them.

When a student is sent to the student guidance room, simple information as such can be obtained by submitting an application.

I may have explained it before, or maybe not, but there is no one who takes problematic students in their guild. Henceforth, the academy monitored such problematic students to a certain extent to avoid having them causing another ruckus.

Similarly, By disclosing such simple information in this way, it means that members of <Best of the Best, the Guild Star>, are subjected to a certain level of management.

"The only thing they have disclosed is <Student Year> <Class> <Affiliated Guild> <Job LV> and their <Behavior>."

"Just that much is enough. Especially, what I really need to know about is their job level."

"Yes. I guess 3rd years are indeed the one we shook be careful of. There are three of them, and their job levels respectively are <Hoplite Lv58>, <Dual Swordsman Lv67> and <Hunter Lv60>. They are quite a formidable opponent."

"Ugh, their level is high."

Mert groaned at Rina's report.

Just what one would expect from seniors. Their level hovers around Lv60.

I am repeating myself here, but it really makes me wonder how the heck did Saturn manage to bring them under him......

"Then next are second years. There are...... 6 of them, <Punching Magician Lv47>, <Healing Soldier Lv45>, <Reckless Wizard Lv50>, <Dangerous Monk Lv51>, <Rock Hammer Lv46> and <Spirit Lord Lv49>."

"Indeed, our seniors. All of them have gone beyond the 3rd order skill tree."

Even Sierra had her finger against her temple, wearing a slight grave expression.

Well, of course. They're wildly different from the <Best of the Best, the Great Star> we were familiar with.

To think instead of joining the guild of upperclassmen, they have brought them under their command on the contrary...... what a fearsome opponent, Saturn and others are.

Though there are 3 troll jobs mixed in between — Punching, Reckless and Dangerous — it didn't make them any less terrifying.

To be honest, the difference is on the level the previous guild battle looks like a child's play.

That said, it still is not enough to topple the chance of <Eden> winning. We just happened to have more opponent with 3rd order skill tree unlocked. The only ones who haven't reached this point yet are Rina, Mert and Misato.

While we are at disadvantage with Hannah being a production job holder, She can switch to healer equipment and remain at standby, so it doesn't matter. In fact, Hannah might be a production job holder, but she is fully capable of holding her ground in combat.

It's just that Mert is still unknown about the wonder of our <Alchemist> Hannah. All in all, <Eden> still triumphs in battle power difference.

"It basically boils down to the personal experience. We only have few members who have actually experience guild battles."

"We might fall into the opponent's trick, is it?"

Rina and Mert turned towards me while muttering such.

Their eyes asking 'What should they do?'. Speaking of, both are totally inexperienced in regards to guild battle.

Hmm, they are wise to probe me.

I nodded and spoke.

"I dare say the game will most likely shift to PvP battle from the second half. However, no need to fret. Our excellent <Master-Planner Princess> and <Dragon's Miniature Garden> is going to join us this time. Today, I will show you the ultimate way of guild battle."

T/N - Author has made the maps about the arena and how the battle will proceed, I will put them consequently.
