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

He has spent half his life working for the theater troupe, and now that he has some free time, he doesn't know what to do.

Knock~ Knock~ Knock~

Weiss only then heard the knocking, rubbed his face, and slowly stood up.

knock!knock!knock!

"They're here, they're here."

Weiss opened the wooden door and froze when he saw who was standing outside.

"Commander Ron, what brings you here to see me?"

Ron saw Weiss's messy hair and oily face, and couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh.

"Uncle Weiss, why didn't you go to the theater tent?"

Luckily, your address was listed in the backend system, otherwise I would have had a really hard time finding you.

This time it was Weiss's turn to look puzzled. Hadn't the theater troupe already closed down?

"No, didn't you say you were closing down, boss?"

Ron looked at Weiss, who seemed to think the world was about to end, and helplessly shrugged.

"The suspension of performances does not mean that we are closing down; it is just a temporary break."

"I already said I'd be returning with a completely new Pure White Theatre Company, so I need to prepare in advance, right?"

Ron's system was tied to the Pure White Theatre Troupe, and he dared not gamble that the troupe's closure for several years would affect him.

If the system is permanently shut down, he won't have anyone to complain to.

"And you weren't even fired, I'm still paying you your salary as usual, aren't I?"

Weiss's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed the door frame, but then frowned.

I still don't understand what the leader is talking about, why is he going around in circles like this?

"The theater troupe has suspended operations, what can I do?"

Ron crossed his arms and said:

"I'm a complete newbie with no acting or stage experience. Are you really going to let me just reopen like this?"

Ron gave himself a thumbs-up and said:

"As the former interim leader, you have to be responsible for teaching me these things."

Upon hearing these words, Weiss's hope was rekindled, and he straightened his back excitedly.

"No problem, I will definitely pass on all my experience and knowledge to you."

Ron glanced at Weiss from head to toe, ignoring his messy hair and dark circles under his eyes; at least he looked presentable now.

He nodded, a relieved smile spreading across his childlike face.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin now."

[Current performance level: 100%]

Chapter 9 New Goals

bang~

Ron, dressed in casual clothes and with a towel draped over his shoulders, closed the wooden bathroom door.

Ron dried his wet hair with a towel as he walked toward his bed.

"call."

He jumped up and landed steadily on the soft mattress, leaning back against the ceiling, letting out a heavy breath.

After exhaling, Ron comfortably succumbed to the feeling of being enveloped, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

After these two days of running around, Ron finally feels relieved.

Although he seemed to enjoy playing the role, the feeling of acting while wearing a mask was really exhausting.

Fortunately, he successfully resolved the debt issue, and after being affiliated with Fairy Tail guild and disposing of his assets, he no longer needs to worry about outsiders having any designs on him.

However, once one problem is solved, new troubles will arise.

With a thought, Ron's system panel reappeared before his eyes.

【Multiverse Role-Playing System】

Ron White

[Magic: Costume Change Magic (E), Basic Visual Effects Magic (E)]

[Skills: Acting (B), Basic Magic (D), Local Language Studies (A)]

[Talent: Magic Power (E), Charisma (A)]

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

[Current role: 1/1]

[Current performance level: 100%]

"Costume-changing magic and visual effects magic are the foundation of stage performances. Do we need to master them?"

Ron just visited Wes, and Wes learned some basic knowledge about the stage and Ron's current shortcomings.

However, mastering these spells all requires the use of magic power.

Ron's magical power was still too weak. He tried to practice his transformation magic at the West's house, but he almost ran out of magic power after only a few uses.

However, this situation occurred because Ron's basic knowledge of magic was insufficient.

Or rather, before he awakened his past life memories, he didn't spend time training his magical meridians; instead, he spent his time learning things that interested him.

That's why his acting skills reached grade B at the age of 10, and his local language skills reached grade A.

Furthermore, Uncle Weiss also mentioned that a mage's physical attributes also affect their magical power.

This is why the stronger the mage in Fairy Tail, the more different their physical attributes are from ordinary people.

Moreover, it seems that even if the character card has basic physical skills, it cannot benefit him. He should have realized this long ago when he saw that there were no physical skills in his skill bar.

The character cards on your equipment are ultimately external forces; this power does not belong to you.

Ron's current goal is to hone his magic, train his physical strength, and enhance his power.

"There are no books on basic magic knowledge at home, but since I am now a part-time mage in Fairy Tail, I can borrow a few related books from the guild library to read."

As for physical training, does it mean we have to train like Saitama?

He has now equipped the [Reigen Shinryu] A-rank card, and his current role-playing level has reached 100%. He has one day to improve himself.

Actually, the character cards could be settled at any time according to Ron's wishes, but he doesn't want to settle them for the time being.

After all, the abilities of this [Reigen Arataka] are quite good. Since you have to wait a day and a half to draw from the gacha pool anyway, why not take advantage of getting an extra day and a half for free?

Finally, Ron sat up and took a deep breath.

"Since I'm free anyway, I might as well go to the Fairy Tail Library now and borrow some books."

......

A day and a half later, in the morning, downtown Magnolia, at Ron's residence.

Ron held a loaf of toast in one hand and flipped through the pages of "The Magic of the Sword" with the other.

"The magic in humans comes from the spirit, and the better the physical quality, the more it will affect the spirit, thereby promoting one's own magic. These three complement each other and are indispensable."

Snapped!

Ron closed the heavy book of theory, stuffed half a slice of toast into his mouth, and looked up at the skill bar on the panel while chewing.

[Skills: ..., Basic Magic Knowledge (E)]

Ron wiped his mouth with a napkin and swallowed the toast in his mouth.

"As expected, your magic foundation is unstable. You've only digested that whole stack of borrowed books, and you're already only at the E-rank?"

Nowadays, it seems that what can be displayed on the system is basically at the E level. Even if the rest are only half-learned, they will not be displayed on the panel.

After saying that, Ron stood up and began to warm up and stretch.

After he was ready, he lay down and assumed a push-up position.

Ron has been training his physical strength like this for the past two days, in order to improve his physical strength as soon as possible and enhance his magic power.

However, after doing a dozen or so push-ups, Ron's hands started shaking uncontrollably.

"Nineteen...twenty!"

After doing it twenty times, Ron finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed weakly onto the floor.

Ron was panting heavily as he watched the changes on his screen.

"This f***ing...it hasn't even shown up..."

In his previous life, he must have been able to do at least 50% of the people's 20 push-ups.

"What kind of monstrous constitution do the mages of this world possess...?"

No wonder I was rated as an F-rank mage; you can't judge this world with the common sense from your past life.

Just then, a few lines of small text appeared before Ron's eyes.

[The character card's duration has expired; settlement is in progress...]

[Final Summary: 100% Performance]

[Perfect role-playing; all abilities of the current character card are available for selection]

Please select one of the abilities you wish to acquire.

Ron made a snap decision and chose to learn his talent without hesitation.

[I have confirmed that I have chosen the learning talent (A) and am now integrating it into the panel...]

Ron immediately felt a warm sensation flowing into his mind, and in that instant, his thoughts became clear and lucid.

Ron unconsciously closed his eyes, and all the memories in his mind suddenly became clear again.

This warmth gradually calmed Ron's breathing, and his constantly rising and falling chest gradually quieted down.

After the warmth dissipated, he slowly opened his eyelids, revealing his clear pupils.

Ron looked at his panel and found new changes in the Talents section.

[Talents: Magic Power (E), Charisma (A), Learning Talent (A)]

Ron nodded. This A-level talent was indeed impressive. He had already felt its wonders as soon as he integrated it into his talent.

Moreover, Ron felt that if he wanted to review what he knew in his mind, he could do so at will.

This means that he can make the panel display some knowledge from his previous life.

This may help in a limited way, but it's better than nothing.

Next up is the card-drawing time.

Ron switched the interface to the [Multiverse Role-Playing Gacha] and, with a thought, began to draw cards.

shuh~

As the button was pressed, the same card-drawing screen appeared in the center of the screen as usual, except that the first card had a red border, while this time it had a blue border, and there was a big C on the back of the card.

Finally, the characters on the multiverse card appeared.

Naruto - Rock Lee

The Rock Lee on the card is depicted as a child, clearly representing his appearance in the early stages of the Naruto story.

He was wearing a green bodysuit, with white bandages wrapped around his arms and legs, and sporting a classic watermelon head and thick eyebrows.

Ron's eyes lit up; he had recently been looking to improve his physical skills.

Isn't this a coincidence?
