Character selection process

Question

The code provided isn't tested, just used to show an example of what I want to achieve. My mobile game will have a multi-classing aspect and I am just wondering around the best way to select and assign these classes?

 public class CharacterClass
 {
 //Class specific variables here
 }
 
 public class PlayerData
 {
 public CharacterClass primary;
 public CharacterClass secondary;
 }
 
 public class CreateNewCharacter : MonoBehaviour
  {
 public void Create ()
 {
 PlayerData newPlayer = new PlayerData ();
 
 //Best way to assign these?
 //newPlayer.primary =
 //newPlayer.secondary =  
 }
 }

I know I could have UI buttons that each call their own method such as:

 public CreateNewBlackMage(CharacterClass class)
 {
 class = new BlackMage();
 }

But this is not how I want to do it (would rather not have to create a method for each individual class for 1 line of code if it can be helped!), but unfortunately I'm struggling to come up with a better way.

Good day.

You can create a Slider for selecting, and one buton to confirm. and just check the slider value to know the selected class

Thanks for the reply. That's better than having multiple methods. I could just use a switch statement. Again I wonder if there is a "better" way. After they select their primary class, I would need another button to call the same method. Although this doesn'the exactly go against the DRY rule, im just wondering if there is a cleaner solution, as I have ended up with spaghetti code when relying upon switch statements. If there are no more answers given, I'll accept this answer. Thanks again
