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

He then sat up and began to look through the character cards' abilities.

Card Name: Rock Lee

[World: Naruto]

[Character Ability Level: C]

[Ability 1: Drunken Fist (D)]

[Effect: Grants a certain amount of stamina recovery. Automatically triggered after drinking alcohol, the body is completely controlled by instinct, gaining evasive intuition and a chaotic attack pattern, easily disrupting the enemy's battle prediction.]

【Skill 2: Basic Physical Skills (C)】

[Effect: Grants solid melee combat skills, superhuman physical endurance and muscle memory, and the ability to unleash formidable physical destructive power without relying on magic.]

[Ability 3: Eight Gates Formation (B)]

[Effect: A one-time active skill that forcibly breaks through the body's energy limits upon activation, instantly restoring mana and doubling the current total mana.]

[Note: Selecting a one-time skill will convert it into a skill card, which will disappear after use.]

After reviewing the character cards' abilities, Ron pondered for a while.

Currently, character cards are categorized based on the abilities they provide. Grade A cards offer five abilities, while Grade C cards offer three abilities.

Similarly, the lowest-ranking D-level card provides two abilities, while the S-level card might have six abilities.

Ron then became torn between his second and third abilities.

The second ability is one he urgently needs, as it can save him a lot of time.

And this one-time burst of ability three feels like it's suitable to be used as a trump card.

"Why think so much? Let's decide in three days."

Ron then shook his head again, a thought flashing through his mind...

"Wait... wait!"

Ron was about to equip the character card when he was horrified to discover the problem.

Ron stared wide-eyed at Rock Lee's onesie and his signature watermelon head, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

System, are I supposed to wear this outfit to play a role?!

(ps: I'll answer all the questions about one-time skills here. These abilities can be obtained permanently, but if the character card level is too low, the abilities on those cards will be weakened.)

Therefore, if you draw a character card of a matching level, those one-time abilities will not be weakened and will become permanent abilities.

I didn't intentionally weaken the combat power. If the higher-level cards later on have matching abilities, they won't be one-time use anymore. Moreover, I considered that if these one-time skills accumulate, they can be used multiple times in the end, which is no different from permanently obtaining the ability. I didn't explain it, which was indeed my oversight.

Thank you for your comments. I'll try to explain earlier next time.

Chapter 10 Ron: Keep striving!

Ron looked at Rock Lee's outfit with a look of disdain.

Although Reigen Arataka's suit and wig weren't great, at least the overall look wouldn't be off-track when he was negotiating with someone in that outfit.

This training uniform and the watermelon head hairstyle are truly unique.

If I go out for a walk in this training uniform, will the council receive a report for disturbing the peace?

Ron glanced at the two abilities, then closed his eyes and patted his cheeks with both hands.

What time is it and you're still complaining about others? Don't you know your own capabilities?

What does face matter? Strength is what matters most.

Ron took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and reaffirmed his belief.

With a thought, the [Rock Lee] character card transformed into a beam of light and merged 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 nodded. That's good.

Once you've equipped it, there's no turning back.

Ron immediately got into the zone, posing with his hands and shaking his arms and legs.

"Alright, to perfectly portray Xiao Li, let's go to the flea market one more time."

Ron frowned immediately, feeling that the line was a bit off-topic.

He thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he finally realized what was missing.

"I know, I'll have to hop across like a frog!"

......

Something strange happened in the town of Magnolia today.

After Ron changed his clothes at the flea market, a strange phenomenon occurred on the street, one that everyone who witnessed it would never forget.

"220, 221, 222..."

A strange child wearing a green bodysuit and with bandages wrapped around his arms and legs is hopping like a frog down the street toward the theater troupe's tent.

The child wore a watermelon-shaped wig, and had two pieces of thick black paper pasted on his eyebrows to serve as his thick eyebrows.

However, the wig on the child's head was not soaked with sweat, but his delicate little face was already covered with beads of sweat, and even the pair of thick paper strips were soaked.

Every time he does a frog jump, his thick eyebrows twitch.

Every passerby who saw it couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

"Mom, that person..."

When a child saw Ron, he pointed at him curiously, but was stopped by the adult next to him.

"My dear son, don't imitate this behavior..."

The adult grabbed the child's hand and quickened their pace, fearing that their son would observe carefully and imitate them.

Surprisingly, Ron, who was jumping like a frog, showed no signs of pain on his face; instead, he maintained a smile throughout.

His face was covered in sweat, and his smile made people afraid to get close to him.

However, Ron was completely oblivious to the stares and whispers of the onlookers.

He is so immersed in his performance art that he has automatically filtered out all external information.

'This Little Li character card has amazing physical endurance and incredibly fast stamina recovery!'

During his frog-jumping training, whenever he got tired, he would stop jumping temporarily and rest in place.

But amazingly, he only needs to rest for ten minutes, and his physical strength can be fully restored in a short time.

Once he has recovered his physical strength, the fatigue from before will not accumulate.

After a rest, my back pain and leg soreness subsided, and I felt energetic again.

He had previously equipped Reigen Arataka's character card, which, although giving him a D-rank martial arts foundation, only made him slightly more capable of fighting than the average person; it did not provide any bonus to his physical strength or stamina.

The first two abilities of this character card both provide bonuses to stamina and endurance.

This abnormal recovery speed is achieved by layering the two abilities together.

With each cycle, the number of frog jumps he performed increased, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

"298, 299, 300!"

Ron, whose legs were already sore and weak, used his hands to support himself on the ground to regain his balance when he could no longer even squat.

Ron remained in that position, panting heavily, but he couldn't stop smiling.

"Finally... I managed to do 100 frog jumps..."

Ron took the opportunity to glance at the current performance level.

[Current performance level: 36%]

The C-rank character card has three skills, which will be unlocked in sequence when the character's performance reaches 33%, 67%, and 100%.

According to the information provided by the Multiverse Role-Playing System, if you settle the character card now, you can permanently obtain Ability 1.

Ron was previously torn between choosing basic taijutsu or the Eight Gates.

It seems that as long as he masters the basic physical techniques within these three days, he will only need to choose the Eight Gates Formation.

He was confident that he could learn at least an E-level basic physical skill in these three days, and that would be enough.

Ron stood up and stretched his legs again, trying to relieve the soreness.

"Alright, that's about enough, let's continue."

Ron resumed his frog-jumping pose, bending forward and jumping.

"301, 302, 303..."

Under the watchful eyes of his neighbors, Ron continued to repeat this monotonous action, moving forward relentlessly.

When Weiss arrived at the tent, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Ron.

He simply couldn't understand why his young commander always wore such strange clothes.

When Weiss heard Ron explain that this was a character in the new script, trying to understand the character's mindset, his eyes were filled with admiration again.

The young troupe leader is really dedicated to the drama troupe; he even came up with such a novel way to improve acting skills.

After Weiss pointed out the problems Ron encountered in writing the script, Ron, undeterred, challenged himself to hop away on one leg.

As Weiss watched his leader's departing figure, he couldn't help but marvel at how disciplined his leader truly was.

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

Countless passersby saw Ron doing this on the streets that day.

This performance art has been continuously staged in various places throughout the town of Magnolia.

As the stories from the streets continued to circulate, the people of Magnolia eventually came to a conclusion.

Ron, the young leader of the Pure White Drama Troupe, suffered a great deal of mental distress after being cheated by the law firm and betrayed by his fellow members when he took over the troupe.

Judging from his current mental state, he seems to have gone mad.

[Current performance level: 75%]

As Ron's various training activities unfolded throughout Magnolia, time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, night quietly fell.

Boom!Boom!

101, 102......

On the outskirts of Magnolia, Ron was repeatedly punching the air.

Boom!Boom!

111, 112......

His fists kept swinging out, all hitting the bark of the tree in front of him.

This massive tree, despite being struck hundreds of times, only had its bark worn away and remained completely unmoved.

Ron remained unmoved, continuing to throw punches until something unexpected happened in the forest.
