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

[Pokémon Ball: Extractable, can capture creatures of rank C or lower. It will self-destruct after releasing a creature. Single-use item]

What a piece of junk this system gave me! It captured itself and then destroyed itself. Doesn't that mean the creature has also escaped control? What am I supposed to do with it?

Fortunately, I don't need to capture monsters; I only need to increase my own strength.

Ron couldn't help but complain inwardly about how this item was a waste of space, then looked at the level rating.

After performing on stage, the system finally upgraded my actor level. It seems I still need to go on stage to prove myself.

Ron then switched the panel interface to the Multiverse Role-Playing Card Pool. Sure enough, in addition to the Phantom God Card Pool and the usual card pools, there was a new limited card pool.

[Ninja Limited Card Pool]

[Duration: 19 hours and 59 minutes, February 29]

Ron's face lit up with joy; this limited-time card pool had been unlocked when he started his first storytelling session.

With the release of this gacha pool, the range of characters that can be drawn has been greatly reduced, so there's no need to search for a needle in a haystack in the multiverse gacha pool anymore.

He carefully reviewed the rules of the limited-time card pool. This card pool and the Multiverse Role-Playing Card Pool share the same card-drawing opportunities, so he can choose to draw from either the Multiverse Card Pool or the limited-time card pool.

This means that Ron, whose character card he drew the day before was still hovering around D-rank, can use his saved-up draw chance on this limited-time card pool.

As for whether or not to keep this limited-time card pool fixed?

This limited-time gacha pool features a ninja, so maybe it has the blond hair I need?

No rush, let's see the gacha results before making a decision.

"If I draw a C-rank or higher tomorrow morning, I'll use the other draw opportunity."

Time passed, and the next day arrived.

Having prepared everything, Ron rubbed his hands together and began drawing cards.

He still lacks a few escape skills and needs to improve his mobility.

The key word for this limited-time gacha pool is ninja, so mobility should be improved. It would be even better if you could draw a clone technique.

[Cooling complete, extraction can proceed!]

Ron pressed the extraction button with a thought.

shuh~

Accompanied by sound effects, a purple light appeared in the long-awaited gacha scene.

As the light gradually faded, the B-grade character card with its purple border floated quietly in mid-air.

One-Punch Man: Speed ​​of Sonic

"A B-grade card, that's pretty good."

Ron looked at the character card's abilities and ultimately decided that ability four was better.

[Ability 4: Ninja Taijutsu - Footwork (B)]

[Effect: Through the muscle power techniques mastered through ninja training, one can unleash explosive speed in a straight line and change of direction in an instant by controlling the contraction of leg muscles.]

If this ability is successfully completed, then he will have the ability to escape, and finally have some mobility.

"Not enough, draw some more!"

After using up his countdown card-drawing chances, Ron pressed his advantage by drawing cards again using the bonus chances.

The scene flashed purple light again, and another B-grade card appeared.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Tengen Uzui

Ron was puzzled. Why wasn't it a character from Naruto?

Well, I'll still play the role that can improve my combat power. This role is good, I'll just play it in a glamorous way.

After looking at them, Ron thought the character cards all had pretty good abilities, but if he could only choose one, it would be his third ability.

[Ability 3: Magnificent Physique (B)]

[Effect: Grants the user superhuman physical strength and toxin resistance honed through ninja training, abundant energy and recovery ability. Only a short period of rest and sleep is needed to replenish physical strength and energy, resulting in astonishing stamina.]

Ron could tell that he was already a bit tired after yesterday's performance.

If you can't split yourself into two, then choose this ability.

After experiencing Rock Lee's character card, he dreamed of having the ability to restore his physical strength in the future. Now that an enhanced version has come along, he naturally chose to play as him.

At least I won't exhaust myself, and I'll have enough time.

Now for the last thing, Ron looked at the last hint and began to ponder.

[Currently a ninja-only gacha banner, would you like to change it to a permanent banner?]

Ron shook his head in the end and decided not to switch.

Based on current information, this ninja gacha pool may not necessarily include Naruto characters; it also includes ninjas from other worlds, and most of them are mobility-related items.

Even though Ron now has clay modeling magic, he still needs more powerful magic.

The two newly drawn character cards have actually made up for the lack of mobility that was previously lacking. As for other shortcomings of Ron, we will have to find another limited card pool.

Let's wait until the limited-time gacha pool for a certain world is confirmed before considering a fixed gacha pool.

Chapter 39, Year X774

"Haa~~~"

After finishing organizing all the text in the system, Ron let out a big yawn.

With a thought, Ron's [Usui Tengen] character card transformed into a beam of light and merged into his body.

Ron, who was originally exhausted, lost all his physical fatigue and mental exhaustion from yesterday in just a few breaths.

"How amazing! If only I had another ability to restore magical power."

Ron then put away his Multiverse Items Vault and no longer planned to equip character cards.

As for Sonic the Hedgehog, he doesn't plan to wear the same costume, since they are both ninjas and their personalities are different.

It's fine to install it again later.

If he can successfully play these two roles, and with the clay bomb combined with the abilities of these two roles, his basic combat system will finally take initial shape.

Ron walked to the window, opened it, took a deep breath of fresh air, and glanced at the increasing number of pedestrians on the street, his heart filled with anticipation.

Now his Pure White Theater Troupe has reopened, and his popularity is accumulating little by little every day. He then takes on commissions to kill monsters and improve his magic and mental strength.

Then I draw cards every day, and I can only play the role when I draw a good card. I feel like I don't have enough time.

But it doesn't matter, as long as everything is done step by step, his strength will naturally improve.

"Go and get your clothes ordered first, then go to the tent to get ready."

……

X774, Kingdom of Fiore, town of Magnolia.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. The autumn wind blows gently, and the ground of the entire town of Magnolia is covered with yellowing fallen leaves.

Now, the pure white theater troupe tent, which has grown a size larger, was bustling with children coming out as the afternoon performance ended, looking for their waiting parents.

This place has become a popular spot for town kids to hang out in the afternoons, and their parents are happy to let them go there. After all, the kids really do stay put and don't wander off, their eyes glued to everything on the stage, not moving an inch.

At this moment, in the back of the tent.

Twelve-year-old Ron cast a transformation spell, and with a burst of magical energy and puffs of white mist, his performance costume was changed back into his usual casual outfit.

After more than a year of reflection and training, he has grown taller, and his originally thin figure has become more well-proportioned and slender.

He turned his head and looked at the wooden crate of props piled up not far away, and shook his head helplessly.

"Leqi, didn't we agree not to sneak in after the performance?"

Uncle Weiss, why do you keep letting her disturb your work?

A small purple head wearing a headband slowly peeked out from behind the wooden box.

Leqi stuck out her tongue, and after being noticed, she straightened up and walked out.

"I didn't sneak in. I came to help Uncle Weiss organize the props and learn how to do backstage coordination."

At this moment, Weiss tidied up the curtain and then lifted the curtain to appear. He stared wide-eyed at everything in front of him, wiped his sweat, and gave a wry smile.

"Team Leader, Leqi was indeed brought in by me. After all, she said she wanted to be your back-end assistant in the future."

Learning in the background shouldn't be a problem, right?

Ron rolled his eyes as he watched the old man and the boy covering for each other.

“I could hear you tripping backstage from the stage, and you still say there’s no problem.”

"That's what the older man did to me."

"That's what she did to me."

The two pointed at each other, shifting blame to one another, and were both taken aback by the other's actions.

Finally, Leqi blushed slightly and lowered her head, trying to explain:

"The backstage lighting was too dim, I couldn't see clearly..."

Seeing this, Uncle Weiss quickly admitted his mistake and said he would be more careful next time.

Looking at the clumsy pair, one big and one small, Ron sighed, almost laughing in exasperation.

With Ron's interference, it seems that Rachel has chosen not to join Fairy Tail, but instead came to me to apply for an assistant position. That's quite strange.

However, with her joining, the Pure White Drama Troupe, which originally consisted of only two people, did become much more lively.

"Pack these things up, I'm going home now."

When Leqi and Weiss saw that Ron was not going to pursue the matter any further, they were overjoyed and nodded frantically.

"no problem."

Ron snorted, but a smile appeared on his face as he lifted the curtain and left.

As he returned, his gaze inadvertently swept across the void, his attention now focused on his system.

[Rank Rating: First-class actor, D-rank mage]

Popularity: 6880

[Card Pool, Keyword: Swordsman]

Duration: 5 minutes and 45 seconds

Currently, after his rank has been upgraded, this top-tier actor has had two opportunities to turn the limited-time gacha pool into a permanent gacha pool.

Over the course of more than a year, he has acquired many abilities and various skills, knowledge, and many one-time survival skills.

However, he did not choose to make them permanent cards.

Because we haven't seen a limited-time gacha pool for a specific world yet, only gacha pools for specific worlds are eligible to become permanent gacha pools.

However, this D-rank mage has encountered a bottleneck; the total magic power and mental power on the panel are both at the D-rank.

His physical qualities have already reached grade C, so once these two are upgraded to grade C, his overall rating will likely improve.

Over the past year, he has felt his magic and mental power continuously improving, and it seems that the time for his D-level breakthrough is not far off.

Although the panel's judgment is very strict, his combat power is actually no longer that of an ordinary D-rank mage.

He used 3 popularity points to acquire the other three abilities on the [Silencer] character card, and now he only needs another 1 to acquire the remaining abilities.

He believed that with his current combat strength, coupled with various life-saving skill cards, he could put up a fight against regular C-rank or even B-rank mages.

Ron finally returned home, closed the door, and the countdown ended in one minute.

Duration: 59 seconds

In his spare time, he drank water while waiting for the limited-time card pool to be updated.
