Seeing this, the man, who had originally been full of vigilance, showed a speechless expression. Indeed, if it was a sneak attack, no one would use a headbutt to attack someone, right?
There's a saying in the Eastern Ancient Country about 'waiting by the stump for a rabbit,' but this was the first time he'd heard of 'waiting by the stump for a cat.'
The young girl continued, "Although I don't know what's going on, she should need help right now, shouldn't she?"
As she spoke, a soft green light glowed in her hand. She took a step forward, seemingly intending to heal the Catgirl who had just crashed into the tree. However, before she could, Saifei'er woke up.
Rubbing her head, she slowly sat up. If it had been an ordinary person, that impact might have killed them on the spot, but she only felt a bit dizzy.
Then, Saifei'er noticed the three people in front of her:
A tall man wearing heavy plate armor and carrying a huge double-bladed axe on his back.
A young boy wearing a blue mage robe and holding a staff almost as tall as himself.
And the young girl standing in front of her, wearing leather armor and with short golden hair as bright as sunlight.
It must be said that the characteristics of these three people were too obvious. The first person was clearly a 'warrior,' the second was obviously a 'mage,' and as for the last golden-haired young girl, you could tell she was a 'priest' just by the green light glowing in her hand.
Isn't this the classic 'warrior-mage-priest' iron triangle? The most common combination in RPG games. So, she had transmigrated into a Western fantasy-style world of swords and magic?
Seeing Saifei'er stand up, holding her forehead, the golden-haired young girl immediately showed a surprised expression, "You're okay!?"
What came out of her mouth was Chinese with a slight accent. Saifei'er was slightly startled, then said, "I should be fine..."
Although she didn't quite understand why people from another world spoke Chinese, it was definitely a good thing for her, saving her from language barriers.
Then, the golden-haired young girl seemed to open a floodgate, talking non-stop, "You just rushed over in a flash, so fast! How did you do that?"
"Are you a Cat-person? It's my first time seeing a Cat-person!"
"What's your name? Oh right, my name is Ailiya, I'm a Holy Knight professional, and also an apprentice Hero! Nanan, are you a professional too? What profession are you?"
The information the other party revealed was a bit much. Saifei'er paused for a while before successfully understanding the situation. She looked at the young girl named Ailiya in front of her and only then noticed that the other party had a longsword hanging at her waist, which meant her initial guess was wrong. The other party wasn't a priest, but a Holy Knight?
A Holy Knight, also known as a Paladin, is a melee class that can use special spells, such as healing spells, the invincible Holy Strike, and various aura skills. They can serve as the team's front-liner, melee damage dealer, and even healer.
Of course, this knowledge was what Saifei'er knew from 'Dungeons & Dragons (DND)' tabletop games and the game 'Baldur's Gate 3' in her previous life, and it wasn't necessarily accurate.
She thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Saifei'er. I am a thief professional."
Since she was starting a new life, she naturally had to use a new name. As for being a thief professional, she just made that up on the spot. According to the 'DND' settings, the most suitable profession for her current identity would definitely be 【Rogue-thief】.
"thief?" Ailiya showed an excited expression, "Nanan, Saifei'er, do you want to join our Hero Squad? We just happen to be missing a thief professional!"
At this moment, the young boy in the mage robe frowned and said, "Ailiya, why do you invite everyone you meet to join the team? How do you know if she's a good person or a bad person? What about her strength? What if her strength isn't enough, and she just holds us back?"
Ailiya, however, said, "But I feel like Saifei'er looks like a good person, doesn't she? And as for strength, she ran so fast just now, you can tell she's super amazing! No problem!"
Hearing this, the corner of the mage robe boy's mouth twitched slightly. How could one judge a person's character based on feeling? And although Saifei'er ran fast just now, a normal person wouldn't run into a tree themselves while running!
At this moment, the tall man in plate armor said loudly, "Judging whether someone is a good person isn't simple? Have you forgotten that I can use divine magic?"
Then he took a step forward and bowed slightly towards Saifei'er, "Miss Saifei'er, you can call me Douglas. Do you mind if I use a divine spell of detect good and evil on you?"
A divine spell of detect good and evil? Saifei'er raised an eyebrow. So, this guy, whom she had originally taken for a warrior, turned out to be a priest?
She nodded and replied, "You can."
After getting permission, Douglas raised his right hand. On his wrist was a metal, very exquisite pendant in the shape of crossed swords and shields. Douglas showed a devout expression and murmured softly, "Invincible war god, please discern the essence of the person before me!"
The next second, a faint golden light emanated from the pendant, swirling around Saifei'er as if scanning her. After circling Saifei'er once, this light finally gathered above her head, showing no change whatsoever, still the same golden color as before.
Seeing this, Douglas himself couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he bowed again, "You haven't killed anyone. You are truly a kind person, Miss Saifei'er."
Isn't that just pure nonsense? Saifei'er was an ordinary person in her previous life; she hadn't even killed a chicken, so how could she have killed anyone? As for this life, there's even less to say; she had just 'been born'!
Seeing this, Ailiya directly stepped forward and grabbed Saifei'er's hands, blinking her beautiful emerald-like eyes, "Sister Saifei'er, you are a good person, and we are all good people, so please join our team, okay!"
"This..." Saifei'er couldn't help but take a step back, but Ailiya immediately followed with another step forward. The two were very close at this moment. Looking at the young girl's face so close, she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, silently sighing in her heart, 'This child... is so cute~'
She thought for a moment, then finally nodded, "Alright... I guess, I don't have anything else to do right now anyway."
This was only one reason. Another reason was what Ailiya had said earlier: they seemed to be a Hero Squad? That sounded like the 'protagonist group' that was destined to experience all sorts of exciting adventures!
You know, the condition for her system to unlock the next persona was 'increasing popularity'! Obviously, going on adventures with the 'protagonist group' wasn't the best way to become famous!
Besides, she had long since had enough of her mundane previous life. Now that there was such an 'interesting' invitation, how could she refuse?

PS: Detect Good and Evil (1st-level divine spell): Consumes one point of grace. Detects the target. If the target has killed people, the more people killed, the redder the light will become.
PS2: The protagonist in her previous life was an 'actor' who graduated from a film academy. She tried hard at first, but with no connections or background, after repeatedly hitting walls in the entertainment industry, she chose to rot at home, relying on the large insurance payout her parents left her after their accident to live a laid-back life.
