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

Ron stood there, stunned. He never expected to encounter Laxus for the first time here.

After all, anyone who saw him dressed like that didn't seem like the type to borrow books.

Laxus frowned even more when he saw that Ron still didn't react and remained in the same position.

"Tsk, I'm taking this book, didn't you hear me?!"

Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~

As he said this, Laxus's hand, which was resting on the spine of the book, trembled slightly without his notice, and a few golden electric currents flashed out for a moment.

Laxus was startled and quickly withdrew his trembling hand, bending down to grip his wrist tightly with his other hand, trying to suppress the rampage of the electric current.

After the hand stopped trembling, the electric current that had been coursing through it gradually dissipated into the air, leaving behind a faint smell of burning.

Laxus broke out in a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

He then released his grip, and when he looked in Ron's direction, he froze.

Ron was already on his backside, his eyes wide open, his eyebrows furrowed upwards, looking at Laxus with a terrified expression.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Tears welled up in Ron's eyes, and his mouth trembled slightly as he stammered.

"Hey, I didn't mean to..."

Laxus hadn't expected Ron to be so frightened; he certainly hadn't anticipated that his own magic would overflow at this moment.

He couldn't bear it and wanted to reach out and pull Ron away.

Seeing this, Ron crawled back a few steps, and the 'horrified' expression on his face became even more nuanced.

"No, no need."

Ron quickly stood up, tilted his head slightly forward, and hunched over, raising his hands to refuse Laxus's approach. Upon seeing this, Laxus stopped in his tracks.

Ron then glanced hurriedly at the bookshelf and grabbed a book at random.

"You can take that book; I'll just borrow this one."

Ron maintained his timid expression and pointed to the book "Magic Vein Expansion" in his hand at Laxus.

Before Laxus could speak, Ron quickly ran to the counter to inform Via, then ran away without looking back.

Finally, Ron escaped the Fairy Tail guild. After running for a while, he gradually slowed down, and the expression on his face returned to calm.

After he was alone, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips and looked back.

All of this was obviously an act by Ron.

He noticed some patterns in the current role-playing status on the system.

If you can make a lasting impression on someone you're meeting for the first time, your performance will be much more convincing.

Of course, this will only be effective if you portray the character card in a way that closely matches its characteristics; otherwise, it will have no effect.

Moreover, after a brief encounter, he discovered that Laxus might need that book more.

Based on the original storyline, Laxus at this point in time should have just had the Dragon Slayer Crystal implanted in his body, as evidenced by the crisscross scar on his right eye.

"No wonder you came to the library; are you trying to stabilize the magic power within you?"

Thanks to Laxus, Ron stumbled upon a good book.

He looked at the book "Magic Veins Expansion," which was more suitable for him, and walked towards the tent.

Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tail guild library.

Vie, who had stood up from the counter, was staring at Laxus with a gloating expression.

"Oh dear, you scared them away!"

Laxus, holding the book "The Adaptability of the Body and Magic," glared at Vi.

"Shut up."

Laxus wanted to argue, but then remembered the distress he had just experienced due to his emotions, so he chose to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths.

He immediately opened his eyes and showed the book in his hand to Wei.

Seeing Laxus's appearance, Viva offered some information.

"That child's name is Ron, and he's about 10 years old."

It's rare to have someone my age join the guild, shouldn't we spend more time with him?

Laxus rolled his eyes, ignoring Vie's suggestion.

When did that old man take in new recruits? They don't look like they have any fighting ability at all.

A guild that keeps taking in weaklings will never become strong.

Moreover, I am 11 years old, which is not strictly speaking my age.

That kind of timid and cowardly attitude will make it difficult for this guild to survive.

Seeing that Laxus ignored her, Vivi pouted and handed the book to him.

It seems Ron can't pique Laxus's interest.

Vi was thinking about how to get Laxus to contact him, when suddenly her eyes lit up.

Seeing that Laxus was about to turn and leave, she added one more thing in a fit of pique.

"What a pity, it seems someone will never know that they were perfectly fooled by the acting skills of their peers."

As expected, Laxus stopped and turned around with wide eyes.

"What did you mean by your last sentence?"

As he finished speaking, several veins inadvertently appeared on his forehead.

......

Time flies, and three more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Ron was meditating peacefully in his room, feeling his magic flowing and circulating within the magical energy channels of his body.

In the world of Fairy Tail, everyone possesses magical energy channels, and these channels are different for each person from birth. This results in talented mages having a large amount of magical energy, while some mages only have a small amount of magical energy.

Of course, this doesn't mean that mages with naturally low magical power can never improve.

The Fairy Tail world boasts a long and rich history of magical development, naturally leading to various ways to enhance magical power.

What Ron is doing now is simply nurturing the magical energy channels, allowing them to expand continuously, thereby increasing magical power.

He carefully nurtured the last remaining vein with magical power, allowing it to widen and lengthen smoothly.

After about an hour, Ron opened his eyes and finally smiled.

Looking at the panel, there was indeed a change.

[Talent: Magic Power (D)]

Now that he has finally increased his magic power, his efficiency in practicing magic should improve, and it's time to focus his attention on magic.

However, Ron has now discovered a problem: his character card's duration is running out.

Duration: 4 minutes and 57 seconds

[Current role-playing level: 67%]

Ron had successfully raised his current role to 100% before the time limit expired twice before, but this time it was more difficult.

The main reason is the character's traits; if the traits are not obvious and it is difficult to attract the audience's attention.

Therefore, it is indeed more difficult for him to improve his performance in this supporting role, which is not a particularly distinctive one.

He only realized this problem now; it's probably because his previous two roles had more distinct characteristics, which didn't work this time.

But it doesn't matter, since he made a new discovery this time.

Ron discovered that by simply reviewing a book and reciting the knowledge in his mind over the past three days, the skill [Magic Path (D)] had actually appeared in the last few hours of the duration!

This might be related to his A-level learning talent in his talent bar. The fact that things have gone so smoothly these past three days is all thanks to him.

This also means that if the character card contains knowledge-related items, he might not need to consider making a choice in the future; he could simply recite the knowledge a few times to obtain it.

I just don't know if the same procedure applies to C-level knowledge-based skills.

So Ron lay down on the bed to rest, letting the remaining minutes of the character card slowly pass by.

Finally, the familiar settlement message appeared before his eyes.

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

[Final Settlement: Role-playing accuracy 68%]

[A standard role-playing experience, only unlocking one ability option for the current character card]

[A Magic Thread (D) has been detected on the panel; it has been replaced with an item reward.]

[The item has been delivered to the Multiverse Item Warehouse. Please inspect it yourself.]

Ron was stunned for a moment, and then the interface of the Multiverse Item Library appeared in front of him.

The second item slot in the inventory is shining brightly; it contains an item that looks like a white lighter.

【Memory Exchange Divine Machine (D): Can be extracted; when actively activated, it can blur the target's recent memories. A one-time auxiliary item】

Ron was stunned. This system could even give out reward items?
