Iron Folding Fan
"You seem to be aiming for the blacksmith sub-class SayaShin?" asked VerBoss.
"Yeah! Can you help me find the NPC, I heard only Grandmasters are available in the town of beginnings, and I'm only one man to do the search alone."
"Sure! Oh yeah, FYI the Alchemist is found at the town of beginnings for the Holy class. It should be called the Sorcerer" - VerBoss
"You got their information quickly?" - Shapeless
"haha... My friend and I are hunting for that NPC, and just happened to be near it when someone shouted 'Yes! I'm finally an alchemist!' so he told me to come by after I finished the quest, He also said that he received a ring. He only told me about it when I flaunted the gloves." - VerBoss
"Do you think there are other Grandmasters here?" -Shapeless
"According to the official website, there should be one in every Job class." - AleyaNala
"What sub-class we're you aiming for Leader." GurinBare inferred, discerning that AleyaNala had done some homework.
"Haha... I can't hide anything from you can't I?" - AleyaNala
"Only because you let me pry." -GurinBare
"Haha... I was planning on buying the magician book in the city. But I changed my mind, seeing that there are some perks in gaining recognition from the masters... The Magician Master should be the librarian in the Magic Academy... A wizard friend of mine informed me, but she still hasn't finished her recognition quest, so. I don't know the reward." - AleyaNala
"So if there is one in every Job class, there is one master for each sub-class. Then there should be two in the Magic Academy, three in the Royal Training Camp, three in the Holy Lands, one in the Dark Forest, and one here." - GurinBare
"Are you guys going to be Lifestyle players too?" SayaShin asked, listening to these reports.
"Nope!" everyone answered.
"For me, the Sub-Class is handy later in the game, I didn't expect that acquiring them now would have some special perks," GurinBare said and everyone agreed.
"So you are going to become a lifestyle player Saya?... No wonder you weren't disheartened when the beast was drawn out."- noted VerBoss
"Alright! If my assumption is true, the blacksmith should be in the Royal Training Grounds." - GurinBare
"What makes you assume that?" - Shapeless
"The Herbalist is Found in a Garden, The magician in the library, for an unknown reason the alchemist on the land of faith, so maybe there is a need for repairs in the Training Grounds... Yes?" - everyone looked at GurinBare with skepticism.
"I'm assuming everyone is going town Jumping?" - AleyaNala said to the party.
"But we can't leave the town yet." - VerBoss
"It's alright, we're not entering the main city yet, so it's permitted. We just need to come back here to get out adventurers Tab... Can you ask your friends to send us coordinates of their respective Town of beginnings." - AleyaNala said contacting her friend to send her coordinates of the Magic Academy.
"Magic Academy (MA, 500,9870)
Royal Training Grounds (TG, 6898,599)
Land of Faith (HL, 7876,5867)
Dark Forest (DF, 875,6933)"
"Okay, see you on the other side!" such ominous words always comes from Shapeless.
Acknowledging this everyone retrieved their portal orbs and inserted the coordinates on the empty spaces. For every unit of distance, is equated to the unit of mana (1:1). This means that the closest they could reach in their current level and mana capacity is the Magic Academy.
[System: Do you wish to transport to these coordinates (MA, 500,9870). MP cost: 1680
"Agree," everyone said then, their visions faded.

"Sister! Sister? Are you okay? You have been there standing for a while now." this was the starting line of the child NPC for every holy class while holding their hands or their clothing.
"I am alright now, Just a flash of light in my eyes." she chided to the child.
Interactive NPC's just like this are what she has to look out for; being registered as an NPC watcher. She has to report any behavioral changes that she observes. Of course, this NPC's are also her greatest Aides, collecting information of other NPC is one of its basic use, but it is only possible if she activates her watcher's badge.
[ NPC-Watchers Badge(Active/Inactive)
- An exclusive item for registered NPC observers.
Function:
-Send Authorized reports to the Administration.
-Enlist NPC's for NPC control operation. (Authorization Required)
-Gather information from the local NPC.
Exclusive Item: Mizarin, Bound, Can not be Destroyed.]
The Watchers Badge is a special badge. Just like any normal badge, it occupies a special slot on the equipment interface, but unlike normal badges, it can be turned on and off, depending on the user's intention, because constantly having it active means that every NPC they interact with will see them as an Administrator and will prevent the NPC from issuing a quest. On the other hand, NPC-Watchers Badge prevents registered players from joining any guild, this is to prevent the abuse in its functionality, for example, gathering information about guild quests or NPC.
"Sister. We must hurry now. Have you chosen your calling?" the acolyte, not taller than a 7-year-old child, asked addressing Izen.
"Yes, I am an oracle. This is my calling!" Izen referred to her job class.
"I am not sure what you meant sister. Must we head to the Church, the Temple, or the Shrine?" the acolyte rephrased.
There are three holy class players in CELESTIAL: First, the Priest; housed and trained at the Church of Gods, blessed in the arts of healing, and protection. Second; the Oracle, sheltered and tutored in the Temple of Devine, endowed in the control of time, and space. Lastly; the Shaman, gathered and enlightened at the Shrine of Spirits, empowered in the influence and restraint of the Immaterial.
"May I visit the places first?" said Izen
"Of course!..." the young gray priest said. As he leads the way to the church.
"I heard that the blessed ones are allowed to receive gifts from the three sanctuaries." Izen begone.
"Yes, they are. A weapon for defense, clothing for custom, and a blessing for awakening. You can either receive one from each sanctuary or all three from one place. " the acolyte enumerated.
Unlike the Druid's chamber where they are not allowed to leave unless they collect their clothing and weapon. The holly class has the choice to select where they can acquire their equipment, but the notion that one either favors one or all three factions limits the selection.
Izen had read about this special event in the CELESTIAL's official website. Browsing through contents, she found that weapons with Holly attributes are obtainable from the Church, clothes with special traits originate from the Shrine, and the blessing to control time and space is received from the Temple.
In approximately 10 minutes of walking, the two arrived in front of the Church. An adult priest wearing a blue robe, that almost touches the ground, greeted them with a head held high.
"Greetings blessed one. How may this humble servant be of service?" the priestling spoke in a humble tone.
"I would wish to glimpse the immaculate collection of the Church," she responded, reading the script.
"May the gods permit!" the priest said, as he bows his head and waved his hand, where while orbs drifted.
White light covered Izen's vision, and when she came to, a priestess wearing white robes and a purple sash, stood before her.
"Young Jiagu, I've been informed you wish to see the treasure of the church."
"Only the things I am permitted to lay eye's upon."
The priestess waved her hand and shelves appeared behind her. Weapons lined up on one side, swords, shields, spears, and many others. On another side Books, stacked side-by-side. And clothes hang, worn over by mannequins.
Izen didn't bother looking at the priest robes, she did browse through the skill books but they are all for purchase in the main city's market or monster drops. So she moved on to the weapons section, which she was aiming for.
Weapons in CELESTIAL is not limited to class, just like the Druids, every other class can select their preferred weapon, this allows everyone to showcase their unique fighting style, unlike the conventional games where a Warrior must use a Sword, a Mage a Staff, or a Guardian a Shield. The game designers implemented the initial preference selection function, which means that the weapon the players select as their first weapon will become their most suitable equipment, it is to say that if they happened to have a quest with a [Job-Specific Weapon] reward, what they will receive is their favored selection instead of a conventional reward for the class. Although they can still use any weapon they want, the reward system will be limited to the initial preference.
In comparison to the druids who rely on their transformation to fight, which allows them to neglect this dilemma, either wielding a Two-handed, one hand, or off-hand weapon. Every other Job-Class must consider this choice carefully.
Taking her time browsing through the selection, Izen arrived in front of an interesting find; a fan, a strange weapon of shamans and assassin. This piqued her interest but there were still some items that she did not sees, so she wasn't in a hurry to obtain the treasure.
For about 10 minutes browsing and comparing her selection. She came to a dilemma, torn between two weapons. [Folding Iron Fan] and [Oracles Orb].

The two items we're very tempting to those who can wield it, and usually greed overcomes them. But before Izen could make a decision the sound of a message ringed in her ears.
"Hay! found the Master Herbalist! Druids Encampment (Deep Forest) and got this:

"I would like to receive this fan as a token from the Church," Izen Said holding the Twin fan.
"If that is what you pray." the lass in white said.
After which white light covers the screen once more and transported her outside the Church.
"Shall we go to the Temple or the Shrine?" the waiting acolyte prompted Izen when she appeared in front of the gate.
"Lead me to the Shrine."
After about 15 minutes of travel, the two were greeted by an old woman covered in accessories of black pearls, diamonds, and golden robe.
"How may I be of service to this young Priestess?" the old lady asked.
"I am in search of garments, would the lady be willing to help?" Izen spoke bowing to the old lady.
"I see... May the spirits are welcoming," she said, and light of many colors flew from her hands and entered Izens forehead.
Rainbow color flashed in a spiral, and when it stopped she was in front of a Tall, Tanned, Muscular man. Wearing a sash on his head adorned large Obsidian at the center of the forehead, feathers covering the temple to the back of his head. An armband made out of an animal tooth and bird feathers, bite both of his biceps, and wearing nothing more than a G-string with a spear-like staff on one hand. Tattoos covered the Mans' Muscular physique from shoulders to toes.
"To think that a child like you would deliver us this lost child." said the man in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Izen asked clueless when suddenly a system sound was heard.
[System: The Spirit Guide, Raymus, recognized the spirit within the Iron Fan. Show Raymus the Fan and receive his Guidance.]
Reading this statement, Izen equipped the Folding Iron Fan, which attracted the man's attention.
"I thank you for returning this child to its homeland. May the blessing of the spirit assist you." with a wave of Raymus's hand white light entered the fan and black light left the item.
[System: You have unsealed the Folding Iron Fan Skill, Immaterial's sacrifice.]
