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

Ron took a deep breath and carefully looked at the introduction of the Multiverse Character Card Pool.

The interface explains that the character levels in this gacha pool are divided into D to S tiers, with A tier being the second highest tier.

This puzzled Ron.

Reigen Arataka is just an ordinary person, so how did he get classified as A-rank?

Ron glanced at Reigen Arataka's card, and as he focused his mind, the card flipped to the back, revealing a detailed list of its skills.

【Card Name: Psychic Shinryu】

[World: Mob Psycho 100]

[Character Ability Level: A]

[Ability 1: Basic Physical Skills (D)]

[Effect: Grants basic melee combat and self-defense skills, while also significantly enhancing the power of massage techniques.]

【Skill 2: Massage and Tuina (C)】

[Effects: With skillful massage techniques, it can quickly relieve physical fatigue and effectively improve stiffness.]

【Skill 3: Know-It-All (B)】

[Effect: Grants basic knowledge of various miscellaneous fields of study, providing a wealth of knowledge sufficient to handle everyday emergencies and maintain the disguise.]

【Skill 4: Master of Communication (A)】

[Effect: Grants the user psychological insight and persuasive language skills; the ability of a sophisticated fraudster to read people's expressions, communicate, and persuade is at a perfect level, comparable to an average person.]

[Ability 5: Learning Talent (A)]

[Effect: Quickly learns new things and magic, but the learning efficiency gradually decreases as proficiency increases.]

Okay, Reigen Arataka's ability is actually...

not bad?

This A-level card lives up to its rating, offering a total of five abilities. Besides basic physical skills and massage, the other three auxiliary abilities seem quite strong.

The abilities on these World Cards perfectly match the characters' personalities, and have obviously evolved into abilities suitable for use in the Fairy Tail world.

The interface for the Myriad Realms Character Cards provides detailed instructions. Once a card is equipped, all of its abilities can be used immediately. However, the effect of equipping a character card lasts for only three days.

To permanently acquire these abilities on the card, he must fully play the role for these three days. If he plays the role perfectly, he can choose the ability he wants when the card is resolved.

Aside from that, there are no ways to spend money on this gacha pool; you can't change your fate by spending money, you can only rely on free draws.

The free draw starts after Ron uses up his first free draw, and he has to wait three more days before he can draw again.

With things having come to this point, Ron had no choice but to equip the card to his character. With a thought, the card transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body.

[Character card successfully equipped, currently playing as: 1/1]

[Duration: 2 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes]

[Current role-playing level: 1%]

Ron touched his body and found that there wasn't much change after the device was installed.

"I do feel a significant increase in grip strength, but that's probably only good for massage."

"Then I'll have to wait three days to draw a good card, otherwise I don't know how to solve this debt problem."

Ron shook his head helplessly, picked up the law firm's debt envelope, and prepared to stuff it back into the drawer so he wouldn't see it again.

He glanced at the letter casually and suddenly frowned.

"No, there's something wrong with this letter."

He leaned closer to examine the handwriting and seal on the letter.

The ink on the stamp is incorrect, and the year of the paper doesn't match the claimed debt date in terms of paper aging. Not to mention the obvious signs of forgery in several places.

"These debts are fabricated?!"

Ron stared in shock, wondering how he hadn't noticed it before.

Ron then realized that it was his A-grade card that had taken effect.

Although Reigen Arataka doesn't have superpowers, he is a seasoned veteran who has worked his way up in society and runs an exorcism agency, possessing a wealth of social experience.

His extensive knowledge also includes methods for dealing with various contractual traps and legal issues in this field.

Ron secretly rejoiced. If he hadn't known, and had gone to the firm a few days later with a blank mind to sign the document and admit to this exorbitant false account, he would have regretted it terribly!

After thinking it over carefully, Ron realized that based solely on these forged traces on paper, he was just a powerless child and couldn't just rush over and question them.

Since those people dared to openly try to seize the troupe and fabricate debts, they must have the support of insiders. The key to breaking the deadlock still lies within.

Ron lowered his head and thought for a moment: who had his parents temporarily entrusted with managing the theater troupe?

It seems I'll have to go to the theater troupe myself and ask.

"However, there is an even more important issue."

Ron looked down at his childlike casual clothes.

Where around here can I buy children's suits?

……

Half an hour later, on the outskirts of Magnolia, the Pure White Theatre Troupe was performing inside a huge tent.

Theatrical performance was underway inside, but the audience was sparsely populated, with only two or three people sitting sparsely, and they were all dozing off.

The actors on stage lacked passion, delivering their lines listlessly and performing perfunctory actions, displaying the mindset of working people just waiting for the day to end.

At the very back of the stands, next to the tent, stood a bald, middle-aged man named Weiss.

Seeing this, Weiss couldn't help but sigh deeply and shake his head.

Although it's the afternoon show now and the crowd won't be large, judging from the dismal performance over the past few days, the audience will likely be just as sparse in the evening.

Weiss touched his shiny scalp and said with a troubled expression, "We really can't do without the commander and his wife."

Weiss is a long-time member of the theater company; he has worked diligently in the company since the day Pure White Theater Company was founded.

Ron's parents were both magicians who came from a theater troupe, and the Pure White Theater Troupe was a troupe they created by combining magic and drama.

The Pure White Theatre Company back then relied on dazzling magical special effects combined with classic stage scripts to perform theatrical shows. This novel performance style was once all the rage, and tickets were hard to come by.

However, times have changed. With the rise of various new forms of entertainment in Magnolia and the lack of innovation in the troupe, all the old employees have now left, some leaving and others changing jobs.

The troupe leader and his wife had no interest in performing anymore, so they went on a trip out of town for the first time in a long while, temporarily entrusting the troupe to him, this honest man, to manage.

As a behind-the-scenes worker, Weiss is good at overall planning and logistics, but he doesn't know how to attract investment or innovate scripts, and he is powerless to change the current situation of the theater troupe.

He was deeply afraid that if the troupe leader returned in a few months, the troupe would have to prepare to disband.

"Hello, Uncle Weiss."

Just then, a voice called out from behind Weiss.

Weiss paused for a moment, then immediately recognized the voice as Ron's. He quickly turned around and said:

"Good morning, Young Master Ron. What brings you here today... Ah?"

When Weiss turned his head, he was stunned.

Ron, standing before them, was wearing an unusual grey suit, with a white shirt as his usual inner layer, and a flamboyant pink tie around his neck.

Ron was even carrying a somewhat worn business briefcase, making him look like a little adult.

"It's been so long since we last met. I came here to see Uncle Weiss."

Ron then noticed Uncle Weiss's puzzled look at his attire. He glanced down at his cheap suit and said shamelessly:

"Oh, this suit was given to me by a lady at the flea market when I passed by."

After saying that, Ron confidently raised his head, puffed out his chest, and ostentatiously displayed his cheap suit.

Ron was in a good mood at the moment.

He had planned to haggle the price down to a reasonable level before buying the suit, but the woman, hearing how much he praised it, simply gave it to him for free.

"Whatever makes you happy, Master Ron."

Seeing this, Weiss's lips twitched slightly, and he could only awkwardly laugh along with him.

Weiss sensed that the young master's mood was different today than usual.

And he also exudes a mysterious self-confidence?

"By the way, has anything happened in the theater troupe lately?"

Ron asked casually at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Weiss's eyes flickered slightly. He subconsciously touched his bald head and said with a smile:

"Just like any other day, what else could happen?"

Ron frowned slightly. He had caught Weiss's subtle movements during their brief conversation.

After equipping the character card, Ron's observation skills improved significantly. He could easily analyze others through their small movements and micro-expressions, and he could clearly distinguish between their truths and lies.

"Is Uncle Weiss suspicious? What is he hiding from me?"

"Young Master Ron, it's not convenient to talk here. Let me take you to the commander's study to chat."

Upon hearing Weiss's words, Ron's slightly furrowed brows vanished instantly, and he quickly returned to a smile.

"Okay, take me there."

The two of them left the tent one after the other, and walked along the dirt path covered with fallen leaves to the nearby temporarily rented study.

After pushing open the door, Ron walked into the room and the first thing he saw was a leather sofa in front of the desk that could comfortably seat three people.

Ron's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself:

"This sofa is the one we've decided on."

From Weiss's perspective, he saw Ron excitedly carrying his briefcase, toddling over to the sofa with his short legs.

"It's so good to be a child, carefree."

Weiss smiled and shook his head, then casually closed the door.

When he turned around, he was completely shocked.

The originally bare leather sofa has now been covered with a layer of white towel cushions.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa, various bottles of essential oils with labels and several jars of kitchen salt are neatly arranged.

Ron stood respectfully to the side, his hands clasped in front of him, a slight smile on his face:

"Uncle Weiss, lie down."

Weiss stared wide-eyed at Ron, completely bewildered, and involuntarily began to complain in his mind.

"Young Master Ron, what are you doing?"

Did you bring all this stuff in your briefcase?!
