Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

Weiss, unaware of everything, clapped along, marveling at the young leader's performing talent.

Seeing the efforts of the young commander, the old commander must be extremely gratified.

Vees carefully placed the unconscious Laxus aside before putting the magic box back together, otherwise the magic would be exposed.

He pulled out the steel plate one last time, and then opened both small doors, and the complete Ron walked out.

Ron looked at his uncle's injured body and thanked him.

The cheers reached their climax at this point.

Ron waited for the cheers to subside before he began to promote the cause.

"Besides the fact that you can get a free ticket after the show ends, you can use this ticket to enter and watch the show for free when the Pure White Theatre reopens in the future."

After he finished speaking, Weiss, who was standing to the side, took a large stack of tickets and began to go down from the stage to distribute them.

After doing all this, Ron breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Laxus lying to the side.

Just as Ron helped him up and took him back to the guild, he saw two people approaching from Guanxin.

Ron recognized their faces and his face lit up with joy.

"Uncle Macao, Uncle Wakaba."

"Your performance just now was pretty good. Even Laxus cooperated with you. You two get along well."

Macao and Wakaba came over to talk to him, clearly having seen the whole performance.

From an outsider's perspective, Laxus was simply pretending to look at the box and putting on a shocked expression, thus completing the performance in cooperation with them.

"Haha, no, he really is unconscious."

Ron awkwardly maintained his smile; he really wasn't cooperating.

Macao and Wakaba were stunned for a moment. They thought Laxus was acting, but when they got closer, they were indeed terrified and fainted.

"If you have other things to do, go ahead. We'll handle Laxus."

Ron nodded and thanked the two men.

Ron wasn't worried that he would reveal the secret to Fairy Tail members after he woke up, since he had used the Memo-Switch, and all he had to do was forget those few seconds.

As the two middle-aged men helped Laxus back, they kept muttering about how Ron had scared him into fainting.

Ron was relieved and went over to distribute tickets with Weiss.

......

Fairy Tail Guild, first floor lobby.

Laxus's eyelids twitched a few times on the sofa, and then he suddenly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Macao and Vie surrounding him.

He frowned. "How did I end up lying here? Shouldn't I be on the stage?"

"You're finally awake! How did you faint on stage?"

After being reminded by Marcao, Laxus realized that he had fainted after opening the box.

"All I remember is that there was a really scary skull pattern inside, and then I woke up here."

His memory had been altered, so he naturally couldn't recall seeing Ron's upper body still inside the box.

Via and Marceau exchanged a glance and smiled, surprised that Laxus could be startled.

"By the way, Ron told you that as a lucky school student, there's no chance to give you a reward, but you can ask him for it later."

Laxus couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard Vi say that.

Although Laxus's memories were replaced, his fear remained.

He didn't know what reward Ron was going to give him, and he didn't want it; he just wanted to get away from Ron.

Laxus only knew in his heart that there was a voice telling him that Ron was not someone to mess with.

Meanwhile, in a residence in downtown Magnolia.

Ron had been practicing his transformation magic in his living room.

He washed off his clown makeup, and a magic circle behind him kept lighting up, allowing him to change clothes hundreds of times in a short period of time.

His visual magic has already reached rank D, and his magical power is still sufficient, so he has begun to practice costume magic to improve his performance on stage.

Until he saw the change on the panel, the magic circle behind him disappeared, and he returned to his casual clothes.

He smiled as he looked at the panel. It wasn't just that his transformation magic had been upgraded to D rank; his level rating had finally changed.

[Rank Rating: Third-rate actor, E-rank mage]

"As expected, improving the rating still requires magic. Next time I draw a card, I need to draw a powerful enough attack spell."

Just then, a sound rang in Ron's mind, and a series of system prompts suddenly appeared in front of him.

Congratulations on your level rating upgrade! A reward has been sent to you.

The cooldown time for drawing characters from the Multiverse Role-Playing Gacha has been permanently reduced from 72 hours to 48 hours.

[Gain 1 chance to draw a card; draw at any time, ignoring cooldown time]

Ron was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise.

Unexpectedly, increasing his level rating would also reduce the cooldown time for drawing cards, which means that his efficiency in obtaining character cards and abilities in the future will be greatly improved.

With the reduced cooldown time of the multiverse role-playing card pool, he can put the character cards he doesn't need into the multiverse item inventory first. He can prepare the character outfit in advance and then find a suitable time to play the role.

But none of that matters now, it's time to start drawing cards.

I wonder how my luck will be this time?

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but rub his hands together.

Chapter 18 S-Rank Talent!

Ron couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, hoping that he could strike gold on his first try this time.

shuh~

Having prepared himself mentally, Ron switched the panel to the gacha interface and pressed the draw button.

The gacha screen appeared as expected, but just as the sound effects disappeared, the entire screen burst into a golden, shimmering light.

The blinding light made Ron squint.

When the light faded, Ron opened his eyes and was stunned.

Floating in the picture is a card with a gold border, and the light from the gold border seems to flow.

The golden "S" on the card was flashing wildly.

Ron couldn't help but smile. After drawing so many cards, he finally got an S-rank card!

Under Ron's expectant gaze, the cards and the silhouettes of the characters on the card-drawing screen instantly merged, bursting forth with golden light.

The final character has finally been revealed.

Card Name: Silencer

[World: Dota]

[Character Ability Level: S-Rank]

[Ability 1: Demon-Slaying Flying Blade (D)]

[Effect: Grants skillful handling of the specially crafted circular blade, subtly interfering with the flow of magic in the surrounding air during attacks, increasing accuracy.]

[Ability 2: Silence Magic - Secret Curse (C)]

[Effect: Casts a curse on the selected area, causing continuous pain and slowing. If the cursed target casts any spell during this time, the curse's duration and damage will be cumulatively increased.]

A curse is cast upon an area, disrupting the flow of magical energy and causing continuous mental anguish. If the cursed person forcibly uses their own magical energy to cast spells during this period, they will suffer a magical backlash, intensifying the pain of the curse and prolonging its duration.

[Ability 3: Silence Magic - Last Words (B)]

[Effect: Applies a Word of Power mark to a single target. If the target casts a spell while the mark is active, or if the mark's countdown ends, the target will suffer a mental shock and enter a 'silent' state.]

[Silence: You will be absolutely unable to cast spells for a short period of time.]

[Ability 4: Silence Magic - Blade of Wisdom (A)]

[Effect: Infuses the weapon with the user's spiritual and magical power. The stronger the user's magical and spiritual power, the higher the damage dealt by basic attacks.]

[Ability 5: Silence Magic - Boundless Mind (S)]

【Effect: Talent, during battle, absorbs the maximum magic power and mental power of nearby enemies to enhance oneself.】

Defeating a target will accumulate your maximum magic power and mental strength, one point at a time (maximum of 2 points for the same target). If the target dies, your mental essence will be permanently stolen (up to 4 points).

If the target is very weak, and its total intelligence is far below the extraction limit, then you can only drain all of its existing stats, without generating any additional benefits out of thin air.

Ron's scalp tingled when he saw all the card's abilities, and he gasped.

This time, the S-rank character card can no longer be described as simply powerful.

If the Fairy Tail world were a game, then this character card would be a devastating blow to the mages of this world!

All five of these abilities can directly target mages; this character card is simply a nightmare for mages!

Ron even suspected that this S-rank card was among the strongest in the card pool.

Ron was overjoyed. With all the power of this card, he might be able to roam freely in this world.

If I could take all the abilities from this card at once, it would be a game-changer, but unfortunately I can't.

Ron sighed. Is this the trouble of happiness?

Let's order more next time.

Ron could only consider how to raise the role-playing level to 100% and then take away that S-rank talent with ability level 5.

The problem is that this Silent Warlock needs to be memorable while remaining taciturn, which is quite difficult.

Fortunately, he still has Bucky's B-class card, so he has time to prepare his costume and an amazing performance.

Ron checked Bucky's current performance rating, which had reached 72%.

The afternoon performance significantly enhanced his acting skills, and Laxus must have contributed a lot to that; it's only a matter of time before he truly shines.

Just then, Ron's gaze fell on the Bucky character card he was wearing, and he recalled Bucky's various actions in the original comics. His eyes suddenly lit up.

If this character card is 100% complete, there's no need to rush to settle the score.

He had a new idea and wanted to give it a try.

......

[Cooling countdown: 15 seconds...]

Two days later, on the morning.

The numbers on the system were plummeting with every breath Ron took.

Ron was a little excited because he would soon be able to verify his bold conjecture.

Over the past two days, Bucky's performance was undoubtedly 100%, but instead of immediately settling for and extracting his life-saving abilities, he continued to equip them on his person.

His only goal was to use [something]...

In the original work, Buggy's physical strength is lacking, but he possesses an outrageous amount of supernatural power, which readers jokingly refer to as Conqueror's Haki.

His words, "This is a profound and complex expression, a testament to his character and spirit," were spoken of in a way that was both elegant and profound. His words, "This is a profound and complex expression, ...

The previous S-rank card was obtained by equipping Buggy with a single pull. So, does having a good luck charm affect one's chances of drawing cards?

【3...】

【2...】

【1...】

[Cooling complete, extraction can proceed!]

"Come on, it's time for me to prove your worth."

Without any hesitation, Ron pressed the extraction button hard.
