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

This bomb is enough to throw at people from now on. I'll try to draw other character cards to make up for the rest, or I'll keep trying to draw Deidara first.

[Clay Modeling Magic: Transformation (B) has been selected and is being integrated into the panel...]

[Magic: Dress-up Magic (D), Visual Effects Magic (D), Clay Modeling Magic - Transformation (B)]

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

After Ron finished integrating his abilities into the panel, he checked what changes had occurred on his panel.

Now, in addition to costumes and visual effects, Ron has added a B-rank spell to his spellbook.

Moreover, after Ron acquired clay modeling magic, his evaluation finally reached D-rank mage.

Ron's face lit up with joy; as expected, acquiring good magic was the key to improving one's rank and rating.

Moreover, an improved rating means there will be additional rewards.

Sure enough, the prompt text appeared in front of him again.

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 48 hours to 24 hours.

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

Ron nodded in satisfaction. Now he could draw a character card once a day, instead of having to wait two days.

However, Ron got a new chance to draw cards and didn't switch the panel interface to the card pool interface.

Even with the reduced time, his character card draw time is still on cooldown, but this reward card draw opportunity doesn't take up cooldown time, so he's not in a hurry and can wait until tomorrow to draw.

Furthermore, if you feel unlucky when drawing cards tomorrow and only get low-level cards, you can keep the opportunity and draw twice more when you're lucky next time.

He's back, mainly because he needs to prepare to reopen the Pure White Theater Troupe within the next three days and wants to quickly accumulate popularity points to draw from the Phantom God gacha pool.

I'll work on perfecting the Pokémon script tonight, and then consider gacha pulls tomorrow.

That's right, on the first day of the Pure White Theatre Troupe's reopening, he wanted to make a splash with a Pokémon script.

After all, this script was so popular in the previous life, and the Fairy Tail world originally had many monsters and celestial spirits, which was very suitable for being modified into monsters that required contracts to be displayed.

Of course, it's more worthwhile to play a role while telling Ash's story and explaining science.

Ron then pulled out a D-rank character card from the Multiverse Items Inventory to serve as the role for his first stage performance.

Card Name: Professor Oak

[World: Pokémon]

[Character Ability Level: D]

[Ability 1: Warcraft and Protoss Ecology (D)]

[Effect: Grants the user theoretical knowledge related to monsters and Protoss, enabling them to instantly identify the types, habits, and attribute weaknesses of most monsters.]

[Ability 2: Charismatic and Approachable (D)]

[Effect: Increases the affinity between wild magical beasts and humans, emanating an aura that inspires trust and reassurance in all living beings.]

In order to further refine the script, Ron had a thought and transformed the [Professor Oak] character card into a beam of light, merging it into Ron's body.

[Character card successfully equipped, currently playing as: 1/1]

[Duration: 2 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes]

[Current performance level: 1%]

Ron closed his eyes immediately after equipping the character card.

His mind instantly flashed through the habits, habitats, and weaknesses of the thousands of magical beasts in the Fairy Tail world.

Even all the knowledge he and Laxus had gained about the scaled rats that afternoon had been integrated into his mind, and it would occasionally help him fill in the gaps and check the information the mayor had given him.

Ron opened his eyes and a kind smile appeared on his face without him even realizing it.

He took out the Pokémon script from the drawer and began to refine it based on this knowledge.

He picked up a quill pen and began revising his script with an unusually fast hand speed.

First, they modified the Pokémon Poké Ball into the Celestial Key and developed a magical item that could capture monsters.

Then, unlike the monsters in the Fairy Tail world, this world is a world where people can live in harmony with monsters, and people call these monsters Pokémon.

Ron localized these basic settings in this way, making the audience feel a sense of familiarity and not too out of place.

After about an hour and a half, Ron put down his quill, relaxed his wrist, and stretched.

"The script for this debut show is almost complete, but we're still missing one thing: a promotional mascot."

After stretching, Ron began to mutter to himself, reminding himself how to conduct the promotions later.

He pulled up the drawer and took out the pile of sketches he had drawn before.

In order to make the people of the Fairy Tail world believe that such cute monsters exist, they can't just say it out loud; they have to draw them.

This is also why Ron asked Lydas for help with drawing—he wanted to be able to present the images of these Pokémon to all viewers.

Once these monsters are drawn, people will naturally believe that they exist.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find the mascot he wanted.

"Oh right, I was interrupted by Laxus and didn't have time to draw it."

Ron then remembered and calmly took out a blank sheet of sketch paper.

He picked up the magic sketching pen again and, based on his memories from his previous life, began to sketch lines on the sketch paper.

With his improved drawing skills and faster hand speed, Ron completed his drawing in just a few strokes.

Through his magic, a yellow electric mouse appeared on the drawing.

This mouse has red electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks, long ears with black tips, and a unique lightning-shaped tail.

Ron looked at the yellow electric mouse that had captivated millions of girls around the world in his previous life and smiled with satisfaction.

"I choose you, Pikachu!"

Chapter 36 Promotion and Pre-Opening Ceremony

The next morning, Ron's publicity campaign officially began.

He finished making the promotional flyers and posters, found a magic bookstore to print enough copies, and then gave half of them to Weiss, the only member of the theater troupe, while he took the other half with him.

Upon hearing the good news, Weiss immediately straightened his back, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, eager to distribute all the flyers and posters.

After agreeing on their respective distribution routes, they went their separate ways, with Ron's first stop naturally being the Fairy Tail guild.

Just as Ron was putting up the poster in the lobby, the first person to be attracted and run over was Kana.

Kana stared at the Pokémon on the poster with shining eyes, especially Pikachu in the center of the image.

"Ron, what are these cute magical beasts?"

Wearing his doctoral gown, Ron finished pasting the poster and began explaining it to the curious Kana.

"These aren't monsters, they're called Pokémon. They'll be the main characters' companions in our Pure White Drama Troupe's storytelling tomorrow."

Ron planned to do two storytelling performances tomorrow, just like his previous theater troupe, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

Seeing the expectant look in Kana's eyes, Ron knew that these Pokémon were especially attractive to children.

What he wanted was to attract children to come in and watch, so that the parents wouldn't be so resistant.

Lidas then took the flyer and made the first gesture.

“I watched Ron draw these Pokémon by hand, so naturally I had to go and see them for myself.”

Marcao took the flyer, scratched his head, and looked at Ron with a puzzled expression.

"Ron, your Pure White Theatre Company is short-staffed. Do you need to reopen so soon?"

They even changed it to a storytelling format. Why not recruit more members before starting?

He was worried that Ron would have a hard time running the business alone, so he didn't understand why Ron was so anxious.

bump!

Before Ron could explain, a sound suddenly came from the bar.

The diminutive Makarov jumped onto the bar and put his arm around Macau's shoulder.

“Macau, don’t say anything more. I believe Ron has his own ideas, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Makarov stroked his chin and took a flyer from Ron.

"I think these... what are they called again?"

"Pokémon".

Ron mentioned it from the side, and Makarov suddenly realized.

"Oh, these Pokémon are quite interesting. Since it's our guild's affiliated theater troupe reopening, how can we not go and support them?"

Makarov cleared his throat and began to announce the U-sound magic.

"Everyone in the guild who doesn't have any quests tomorrow, go buy me tickets!"

Macao was relieved of his worries and smiled.

"Since the chairman has spoken, I'll take my wife to see it too."

The mages in the guild all told Ron they would come to support him, and Ron thanked them one by one.

After finishing his promotion at the Fairy Tail guild, Ron still came to see Makarov before leaving.

"By the way, President, when you go back, tell Laxus that the theater troupe will reopen tomorrow, and he will know then."

Ron left with only this one sentence and continued to preach to the other residents on the street.

Makarov looked at Ron's retreating figure with a surprised expression.

Makarov knew his grandson's temper all too well; how could Ron dare to invite him?

Did their relationship change after going on a mission together?

After finishing everything in the guild, Makarov finally arrived at his doorstep and met Laxus.

Laxus happened to be going out at that moment, and he was taken aback when he saw Makarov.

"Laxus, the Pure White Theatre Company is reopening tomorrow, are you going?"

Laxus lowered his head for a moment after hearing Makarov's words before answering.

"have no idea.

If I'm not free tomorrow, I won't go.

Laxus, having left those words behind, adopted a cold demeanor and walked past Makarov.

Makarov stood there, stunned. He turned around, watched Laxus's retreating figure, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had expected Laxus to be very resistant, but to his surprise, Laxus did not refuse him outright.

Seeing that Laxus left without saying a word of boredom, Makarov's brow finally relaxed.

On this day, the neighbors all received flyers from the Pure White Drama Troupe.

Some people expressed their skepticism, while others felt that the storytelling aspect would be distorted.

However, their attention was drawn to the Pokémon on the flyers, and as long as they were attracted, Ron had achieved the publicity effect he wanted.

Before we knew it, it was already the next day.

A different scene appeared next to the tents of the Pure White Theatre Company.

Besides the Fairy Tail members who had already bought tickets, there were also other residents who came out of curiosity, and a large number of people gathered.

Many of the families who came were families with children, wanting to buy tickets to see a performance.

Because of the large crowd, Ron started having people line up to buy tickets to avoid further arguments.

"Young Commander, the tickets for both the afternoon and evening shows are sold out. I've never encountered a situation where tickets are sold out before."

After selling all the tickets, Weiss was so moved that he hugged Ron tightly.

He had originally planned to temporarily switch to storytelling, since his regular customers wouldn't come anymore.
