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

"Then let's say goodbye here!"

Goodbye, Emily, Marie!

After crossing the river, Ron and his group led the two sisters to a fork in the road, where Emily and Marie parted ways with Ron and his companions to find their relatives.

After waving, Ron and his companions followed the road signs and finally arrived at Fos, the town that led to the western entrance of the kingdom.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Foss Town, a blue-haired girl in a blue coat was sitting on a stool, swinging her legs.

She had her umbrella and bag laid out beside her, and was eating a dessert she had just bought.

After she finished eating, she touched the package next to the chair, only to find it had vanished.

"Oh, Juvia's package..."

Upon discovering her package was missing, tears slowly welled in her eyes, miraculously causing dark clouds to slowly gather...

Not only the girl, but also passersby around the street were heard shouting in panic.

"My wallet!"

"My stuff!"

"Oh dear, my bag that was here is suddenly gone!"

Just as the crowd descended into chaos, a dark figure stopped in the alleyway beside the street.

A skinny young thief, carrying a package on his back, was smiling smugly.

This package is a spatial magical artifact that can hold ten times its own capacity, and it's currently filled with the young thief's loot.

"Hehehe, thanks to this treasure, making money is so easy."

The young thief with dark circles under his eyes took out a small bottle of pills from his pocket and shook it, making a sound.

This pill was miraculously created by a certain magic bureau during the development of magical artifacts. As long as one pill is taken, he can move at 30 times the speed in one second.

With this accelerated movement, he could steal valuables from everyone without them noticing, and made a lot of money from it.

Just as he was planning where to make another fortune, a commotion suddenly erupted from the central square ahead, attracting his attention.

The thief peeked out and discovered that a large crowd of onlookers had gathered there, all eyes fixed on the tent.

It turned out that after Ron and his group arrived at the station, they discovered that the train heading west wouldn't arrive for a long time.

Since Ron had nothing better to do, he quickly set up a tent in the square and took the opportunity to gain some popularity points.

Gray and Leo followed Ron and performed together on stage, instantly drawing a huge crowd.

Upon seeing this scene, the thief couldn't help but reveal a greedy look in his eyes.

"With such a large crowd, today is going to be a great day."

He eagerly stepped forward and slowly blended into the crowd.

He took out a pill and then put it in his mouth.

Gollum~

After he swallowed the pill, the scene before him changed.

Everyone in front of him slowed down to almost stop; even the raindrops that were about to fall seemed to move in slow motion, as if they were suspended in the air.

With the help of the pills, the thief calmly reached in and took the wallets and packages of the people around him.

As he put everything into his spatial storage, he weaved through the crowd, searching for valuables to steal.

He followed the crowd all the way to the tent behind the stage, then his gaze fell on an object, and his eyes gradually lit up.

He saw a huge money box filled with gold coins as tips.

"I'll accept it for you."

The thief excitedly reached out and quickly grabbed at the money box.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the cash register, he suddenly felt that the scenery around him was no longer slowing down, but had returned to its normal speed.

His eyes widened, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

Oh no! I got so excited I forgot to keep track of the time!

Snapped!

Before he could react, a long, strong hand reached out out of thin air and firmly grasped his wrist.

He looked up and saw a face approaching, which made him pause for a moment.

"You think you can just take our hard-earned money? Do you have no humanity at all?"

Ron just stared at him, almost making him freeze in his tracks.

The thief looked shocked, immediately shook off Ron's hand, and then quickly pulled out another pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

The scene around him slowed down again, and he ran away as fast as he could.

He laughed smugly and turned back to say mockingly:

"You can't catch me now, can you...?!"

He turned around in horror to find that the boy had vanished from the spot, and he could not see him anywhere!

Snapped!

He felt a touch on his shoulder. He turned around and found that the boy had not been shaken off. Instead, he appeared beside him like a shadow, touched his shoulder, and emitted a bright spell mark!

You can keep up with that?!

Click!

After feeling the touch, the thief realized something was wrong. The air around him stopped moving, and his body was frozen in mid-air, as if his whole body was embedded in a transparent frame!

The thief was forcibly frozen in a two-dimensional transparent frame, his eyes revealing fear and shock!

"What's going on?! What did you do to me?!"

Ron breathed a sigh of relief after subduing the thief.

I never expected that the B-rank character card I drew yesterday would be able to be equipped today.

Jujutsu Kaisen - Zenin Naoya

[Character Ability Level: B]

[Ability 4: Enchanted Magic - Projecting Twenty-Four Frames]

[Effect: Enchants oneself or the target with magic, dividing one second into 24 frames. As long as the 24-frame action trajectory is preset in the mind, the speed of the action and oneself will be accelerated. When this magic touches the target, the target will need to react instantly to the preset 24-frame action. If the action is beyond its ability to complete or has not been preset, it will be forcibly frozen for one second.]

Although Ron didn't know what the thief's pills did, he knew they would have a controlling effect on someone on their first use.

The speed of 30 times per second clearly exceeded Ron's 24 frames per second, and the frequency of the movement exceeded his added magic, resulting in being frozen in time.

A second passed in the blink of an eye, and everything around Ron and the thief returned to normal in an instant.

Click!

Ron lightly touched the picture frame, and the thief was grabbed by the back of his collar.

He then reached into the thief's pocket with his other hand and pulled out the small bottle containing the pills.

Ron looked at the pill with interest, then glanced at the thief.

"Alright, now tell me, what exactly is the effect of this pill that makes you so fast?"
