"Initial talents and initial heroes are fine. They're all basic stuff, so there's no need to hide them.
"We'll be fighting as a team later anyway, and once we fight together, everyone will be able to figure out each other's information.
"Besides, we need to understand each other to coordinate. There's nothing worth keeping secret.
"Save the secrecy for when we learn rare skills."
Chapter 3: Choosing a Female Hero
What Yang Xiong said was true.
The students spent every day together, and friendships would naturally form.
Most of them would also become comrades in arms.
Joint operations would be common, and their companions needed to know what each of them was good at and what role they played in combat.
Keeping detailed and critical information secret would be enough.
Of course, that only applied to comrades.
Everything had to be kept secret from unrelated outsiders.
Besides, the first test after school started would involve fighting magical beasts.
The students wouldn't be fighting each other.
Zhao Chi nodded. "That makes sense. So what hero did you get?"
Yang Xiong grinned. "An Orc Fighter Hero! One with high stats and a skill, too!"
"Oh, nice," Zhao Chi said appreciatively.
An Orc Fighter Hero was a good initial hero.
It had very strong attack power.
And it was eager to fight.
Even against a stronger opponent, it wouldn't shy away from battle. Its morale was high.
It was a hero that was both powerful and reckless.
If it had high stats and a skill, then it really was a good pick.
The other students nearby also turned to offer their praise.
"Not bad, Yang Xiong. Fortune favors fools."
"Yeah, you really lucked out. A reckless hero like that suits you perfectly. I got a Human Knight Hero."
"Your knight hero's pretty good too. High defense, and it can really take a beating."
"You all got decent ones. Mine's a Goblin Priest Hero. It'll do, I guess."
"What do you mean, 'it'll do'? Priests can heal and make poisons. They're good support."
"Exactly. I could only pick a Giant Skeleton Hero. I'm speechless."
"Why didn't you pick something else? Didn't you have three options?"
"I couldn't. My talent is Skeleton Scholar, so it was the only one that really fit."
"Nothing you can do, then. It's still usable. Just make do."
The students around him started discussing their heroes again.
Zhao Chi opened his system as well.
He was going to activate his initial hero.
Although this world had plenty of flaws, it also offered many conveniences.
[System Space], for example.
Everyone had one cubic meter of System Space in which to store items.
Putting things in and taking them out was easy.
Zhao Chi's System Space contained some food, a few changes of clothes, and some coins.
He found the hero soul he had just received.
It was a sphere the size of a fist.
White and translucent.
It looked like a cloudy glass marble.
A faint light glimmered inside.
Zhao Chi clicked it, and a system prompt appeared:
[Activate Random Female Heroic Soul?]
He clicked [Confirm].
Instantly, the hero soul emitted a soft white glow.
The light was gentle, not blinding.
A moment later, his vision blurred.
Another scene appeared before him, filling his entire field of view.
Yet he could still see the auditorium and the students around him.
It was as though one eye was looking at the auditorium while the other was looking at the new scene.
Whichever one he focused on was the one he saw.
The new scene gradually took shape.
Against a black background, three female heroes appeared.
They stood before him, quietly watching Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi immediately checked their information.
The first female hero:
[Hero] Human Female Medical Officer [Category] Initial hero [Gender] Female [Level] 0 [Race] Human [Age] 26 [Looks] 4, plain [Measurements] 83B, 65, 84 [Class] Doctor [Talent] Basic medicine [Skill] Healing [Attributes] 21 points, good [Constitution] 5, just right [Strength] 4, unremarkable [Agility] 5, just right [Intelligence] 7, exceptional [Personality] Faithful, extravagant
Hmm... how should I put it?
This first female hero really was plain-looking.
Her figure was average as well.
She was a very ordinary human woman.
Her attributes totaled 21 points.
Her strength was slightly low.
Her constitution and agility were both average.
But her intelligence was good.
An ordinary human's individual attributes were generally around four to five points.
This Female Medical Officer had seven points of intelligence, which was fairly impressive.
She also had a healing skill, which was extremely useful early on.
Her talent could also boost her skill.
Her professional abilities were certainly up to standard.
Her personality traits were faithful and extravagant.
Faithfulness was a good trait, but extravagance was rather bad.
Still, this Female Medical Officer was a passable initial hero.
I'll keep her as an option and look at the others.
The second female hero:
[Hero] Elf Female Archer [Category] Initial hero [Gender] Female [Level] 0
