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

991, 992, 993, ...

Inside the living room, Ron was still wearing his tight-fitting training clothes, his hands supporting him on the wooden floor as he did push-ups.

When he exerted his strength, the muscle lines of his arms and shoulders were clearly visible under the sunlight.

The bulging veins on his hands pulsated and throbbed in rhythm with the movement.

He kept repeating the mantra to himself, and a large amount of sweat slid down his cheeks, forming a small puddle beneath him.

"1000!"

Ron gave it his all, shouted with exhilaration, and perfectly completed the final push.

Following this force, he straightened his back and stood up smoothly.

Ron was panting heavily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

He was finally able to complete 1000 training sessions in one go.

Ron looked at the changes on the panel.

[Skills: ..., Basic Physical Techniques (D)]

Two days ago, Ron's basic physical skills finally became apparent.

After three days of intense training, plus a thousand push-ups, he finally succeeded in improving his physical skills from E-level to D-level!

Ron calmed his breathing.

"Now I can focus on doing other things."

Just as Ron was pondering whether to write a script or hone his magic, a small prompt appeared before his eyes, reminding him.

[Character card duration expired, settlement in progress...]

[Final Settlement: Role-playing accuracy 100%]

[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 was immediately presented with three abilities to choose from.

After thinking it over, he finally decided to choose the Eight Gates Formation.

Although the Drunken Fist skill (ability one) comes with a healing effect and can be used actively, its use is greatly limited.

His physical skills foundation in Ability Two is only at level C. Choosing it will at most increase his physical endurance, so he will not do high-intensity training for the time being.

Magic is still the mainstream in this world; improving physical fitness is just laying the foundation.

It's enough for him to raise his physical skills to D level in a short period of time; he can consider how to improve them later.

[Eight Gates Formation (B) has been selected and is being integrated into the panel...]

[The Eight Gates Formation has been detected as a one-time use skill and is being converted into a skill card.]

[Skill card obtained, Multiverse Item Library unlocked]

A new interface resembling a game inventory appeared before Ron's eyes, with many empty slots.

A bright light flashed in the first slot of the Multiverse Item Library, revealing a B-grade skill card.

Ron was stunned for a moment, then with a thought, the skill card in front of him displayed an item.

【Eight Gates Formation (B): Active activation instantly doubles the current total mana. A one-time active skill.】

It seems I won't need this B-grade card for now; with my total magic power so low, using it would be pointless.

It can only be stored temporarily and used as a trump card.

However, this multiverse item vault made Ron think about its purpose.

Since it's an item vault, does that mean there are a lot of these one-time-use skill cards?

However, the gacha pull is now off cooldown, so let's pull some cards first.

shuh~

Ron started drawing cards immediately with a thought.

The familiar gacha screen is back, but this time there's a white border and the word "D" is written on the back of the card.

Ron sighed.

Although it's normal to draw D-rank and C-rank items based on probability, he still holds onto the hope of getting the perfect item on his first try.

It doesn't matter, as long as it's a useful character card.

Finally, the characters on the Myriad Realms Card were revealed.

Card Name: Yamada Hanataro

[World: Bleach]

[Character Ability Level: D]

[Ability 1: Magic Pathways (D)]

[Effect: Grants knowledge of the flow of magic energy in the human body, enabling the clearing of disordered magic pathways and preventing magic outbursts or blockages.]

[Ability 2: Zanpakuto - Gouramaru (C)]

[Effect: A one-time use item card that summons a special short sword. It absorbs external injuries from others through touch or a specific medium as a magic reserve. Once fully charged, it can unleash a powerful, one-time energy slash equal to the total amount of absorbed injuries.]

Ron's face lit up with joy; this time he could finally play the role of a normal person.

However, after reviewing the ability descriptions, Ron was not entirely satisfied with this card draw.

This ability feels rather useless, since apart from the magic veins which might be useful to him at this stage, he can only keep his Zanpakuto, Hiruzen, in his inventory as a trump card.

D-rank character cards not only have lower abilities than C-rank cards, but they are also more difficult to acquire.

A D-level character card means that you only have two abilities, and you need to reach 50% and 100% of the current role-playing level to permanently obtain the abilities.

But Ron wasn't discouraged; he had no choice.

In that case, he should spend his time writing scripts and practicing magic.

Use whatever comes your way, and you'll immediately equip the character card.

After the character card merged into his body, Ron became troubled.

I bought the same clothes from the same older woman twice before.

It's probably difficult to find a ready-made, loose-fitting Japanese-style outfit like this.

In the future, how about we just ask the eldest sister to make our clothes?

……

An hour later, at the Fairy Tail guild library.

Ron walked into the library carrying a full stack of books in both hands, with his chin supporting the entire stack.

This time, when he went to the flea market, there were no similar styles available, so he could only wear similar clothes to act as a Shinigami (death god) costume.

Ron slowly placed his hands on the counter and realized that it was Vivi, who had been at the bar, who was now looking after the library.

"Sister Wei, it's your shift today."

"Yes, speaking of which, I have to thank you for what happened to Leqi."

Ron only learned the day after he sent Leqi home that Leqi was a distant relative of Wei.

Although both of them have purple hair, Ron still finds it hard to make the connection.

Speaking of Leqi, her parents didn't blame her when they came over that night. When they saw that Ron wasn't there, her parents even left a letter to thank Ron.

After finishing his conversation, Ron went to the bookshelf related to magic to find some books.

He came looking for books to enhance his magic power. He thought the character cards contained knowledge about magic pathways, so he needed to find a theoretical book that could complement them.

He approached the bookshelf, his eyes constantly searching for a suitable book.

"The Adaptability of Body and Magic, then let's choose this one."

Ron's face lit up with joy, and he reached out to the target he had chosen.

Just as he touched the spine of the book, another hand also pressed down on the spine at the same time.

Ron paused for a moment, then looked at the owner of the other hand.

He was a boy with blond spiky hair and a distinct crisscross scar over his right eye.

He was also wearing a cool pair of headphones with round spikes on his head.

Laxus was frowning, staring at Ron with sharp eyes.

"Hey, I don't know who you are, but I want this book."
