[Asura], [Valkyrie], [Disciple of Disaster].
Of these three Special Classes.
Tang Zheng had initially set his sights on [Disciple of Disaster].
Mare was a Dark Elf, a subrace of humanity, so he had no racial classes. His build consisted entirely of 100 levels of classes.
This also meant that this Special Class had no racial prerequisites!
Tang Zheng knew quite a bit about Mare's classes. Combined with the margin for error provided by the "Genius" class, perhaps wasting one or two Intermediate Classes would allow him to forcibly deduce the Special Class [Disciple of Disaster].
As for the other two.

[Asura] was the Special Class possessed by Cocytus.
Tang Zheng had specifically studied these Special Classes. Based on the limited information revealed in Cocytus's Status Table, the class [Asura] did not seem to have any obvious connection to his class build.
He suspected that this Special Class had been obtained through some kind of special tool or item.
And [Valkyrie]...
In the anime and the light novels, there were currently two people who possessed this class. One was Shalltear, and the other was Zesshi Zetsumei.
Both of them were women.
Tang Zheng couldn't help suspecting that this was a Special Class only women could obtain.
Having figured this out.
Tang Zheng could only set his sights on [Disciple of Disaster], but now, with the appearance of "Priestess," it was highly likely that he had obtained a "female character buff."
So!
He might be able to take the Special Class [Valkyrie].
"Shalltear's [Valkyrie] has a much clearer class build than Mare's [Disciple of Disaster]."
Tang Zheng drew a deep breath. As he recalled the information about Shalltear in his mind, he raised a finger and began sketching on the ground.
Aside from Ainz Ooal Gown, she was one of the two characters who had appeared most often in the anime and light novels, so naturally, the information revealed about her was extensive.
Shalltear's level build was:
20 racial levels + 80 class levels = 100 Overall Levels.
The classes revealed on her Status Table were:
Valkyrie/Lance 5 Lv, Cursed Knight 5 Lv, and Priest 10 Lv.
In addition to these three classes, the light novels had also revealed two others: Blood Drinker and Cursed Caster.
Tang Zheng was certain that these two classes were High-Tier Classes.
The reason he was so certain.
Was that Blood Drinker possessed an exclusive skill called "Blood Pool," which had been displayed during Shalltear's battle with Ainz Ooal Gown.
As for Cursed Caster, the novel had mentioned that this class had a negative effect that caused Shalltear to enter a frenzied state whenever she touched blood.
In the anime, when Shalltear first encountered Nail Clipper and suddenly went berserk after attacking those humans, it was also because of this class.
The anime simply hadn't given any special indication of it.
In the "Overlord" game, classes with negative effects were all relatively powerful High-Tier Classes, using those negative effects as a form of restriction.
So!
Valkyrie/Lance 5 Lv
Cursed Knight 5 Lv
Priest 10 Lv
Blood Drinker 5 Lv
Cursed Caster 5 Lv
These were all the classes Tang Zheng knew Shalltear possessed. Their total level was 25, leaving a gap of 55 levels.
It seemed that there was still too little information, and he still couldn't clearly deduce the build!
But!
"I'm a science student, after all." Tang Zheng curled his lips, his entire body falling into a state of excitement as though he had returned to the mindset he had possessed when playing puzzle games in his previous life.
He quickly reached out and drew circles around the two classes he had written on the ground!
First, he set the Special Class [Valkyrie] aside. "Priest" was a Basic Class and didn't require much attention either.
Next.
Tang Zheng didn't know much about "Blood Drinker," so he could set that aside as well.
That left the two High-Tier Classes. They should both have independent prerequisite class builds!
Following the logic of solving a mathematical problem, including the "unknowns" would allow him to forcibly derive the "knowns"!
Basic Warrior Class (unknown) 15 Lv → Intermediate Warrior Class (unknown) 10 Lv → Cursed Knight 5 Lv = 30 Lv
Basic Spellcaster Class (unknown) 15 Lv → Intermediate Spellcaster Class (unknown) 10 Lv → Cursed Caster 5 Lv = 30 Lv
Then, the combined 60 levels + Valkyrie/Lance 5 Lv + Blood Drinker 5 Lv + Priest 10 Lv = 80 Lv.
Exactly 80 class levels!
Shalltear's information instantly became completely clear!
The High-Tier Class "Blood Drinker" was an exclusive High-Tier racial class of the Vampire race!
And among these classes, the only one that stood out was the Basic Class "Priest."
The other person who possessed [Valkyrie] was Zesshi Zetsumei of the Theocracy!
Among the currently known powerful characters, Zesshi Zetsumei was the only one whose class build was completely clear:
Warrior: 10 Lv
Berserker: 10 Lv
Master Warrior: 10 Lv
Lesser Valkyrie/All-Rounder: 5 Lv
Weapon Master: 7 Lv
Thief: 1 Lv
Assassin: 5 Lv
Executioner: 10 Lv
Priest: 10 Lv
High Priest: 10 Lv
Heretic Interrogator: 10 Lv
She had eleven classes, and her Overall Level had reached 88.
Judging solely by level, Zesshi Zetsumei had reached the first tier of power in the New World. But looking at her class build, it was an utter mess.
Her class build consisted of three major lines: Warrior, Thief, and Faith-based Magic Caster. As a result, Zesshi Zetsumei's actual overall strength was far below that of a Player at the same level.
As for the Special Class [Lesser Valkyrie] that Zesshi Zetsumei possessed, it could be understood as an inferior version of the true Valkyrie class.
The reason this had happened was that Zesshi Zetsumei had never fulfilled the true prerequisites for [Valkyrie], resulting in an incomplete phenomenon unique to the New World.
For example.
A High-Tier Class like [Ninja], which required reaching level 60 or higher to learn, could be obtained by people in the New World simply by learning the skill first.
But Special Classes were different. These classes had extremely strict prerequisites!
Tang Zheng guessed that Zesshi Zetsumei had indirectly obtained this class through her Talent. However, because of the harsh prerequisites inherent to Special Classes, she could only obtain an inferior version.
The only class that both Shalltear and Zesshi Zetsumei possessed was [Priest].
It was perfectly normal for Zesshi Zetsumei, the Theocracy's trump card, to possess the Priest class. But Shalltear was an Undead!
She was clearly an Undead Vampire, yet she possessed the incompatible holy class "Priest," and she hadn't even leveled it to the maximum.
The only possible reason for this—
Was that it was needed to fulfill a certain condition!
A sharp glint flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, and a hint of excitement appeared on his cheeks. He slammed his palm onto the ground. "I've got you, [Valkyrie]!"
"YGGDRASIL" was actually a game based on the backdrop of Norse Mythology.
The so-called "Valkyries" had not existed as such in early mythology. They had instead been called "Valkyrja," meaning corpse-eaters—in short, a synonym for evil.
Later, they gradually evolved into "women who chose those slain in battle," becoming sacred figures. The legendary Valhalla was also related to the Valkyries in some way.
But there was no need to discuss that background for now!
The prerequisites for [Valkyrie] were very likely: female, the Basic Class "Priest," and the High-Tier Class "Cursed Knight"!
The reason it was Cursed Knight rather than Cursed Caster was that [Valkyrie] was a Warrior-specialized class, not a Spellcaster-specialized class.
"Phew~"
Tang Zheng dusted off his hands and exhaled heavily. He raised his foot and erased all the seemingly chaotic Chinese characters from the ground.
Although no one in this world could recognize Chinese characters, it never hurt to be careful!
"The High-Tier Class 'Cursed Knight.' According to the game's settings, obtaining this class requires not only reaching level 60 or higher but also satisfying the prerequisite class build."
"However, based on the class-acquisition system in the New World, it should be possible to obtain a High-Tier Class directly by learning its skill first."
Tang Zheng braced both hands against his knees, then stood up and patted the dust from his backside. Smiling, he muttered to himself:
"If my memory serves me correctly, there's someone in the Baharuth Empire who possesses the Cursed Knight class."
After learning the prerequisites for a Special Class, he still didn't have absolute certainty, but at least he had a chance to try.
Tang Zheng's heart settled somewhat.
"The person in the Baharuth Empire won't disappear."
"So the first thing I need to do is raise my level, then head to the Baharuth Empire and obtain the High-Tier Class Cursed Knight."
Once Tang Zheng had a clear goal, he no longer hesitated. He got up and headed toward the Adventurer's Guild.
