57. Use of beads (1)

1 duplicate orb of SSR Shine.

Hundreds of duplicate orbs for R-rank characters.

The existence of a new item that hadn’t come out of the game system was enough to make me excited.

It was because I knew very well that whatever the new feature was, it would be good for me and nothing would be negative.

To find out where this bead was used, I decided to look for R-class characters that might be spread throughout the academy.

I had never met any R-class or SR-class characters after summoning them.

It seemed that I shouldn’t have hoped for an easy meeting like Ariando (SSR), who rolled in without me stepping out.

‘There are more students than I thought?’

Of course, it was not easy to find the R-rank I chose among so many students.

And it’s not just about finding it there.

I have to go and talk to them myself, but there was a difficult part for me, an outsider, to do.

The best way was to approach me with curiosity first.

Trying not to look too suspicious, I widened my eyes to find the R-rank students.

“uh? It’s the general store man.”

Then, a cute voice is heard from below.

When I lowered my head at the familiar voice I had heard before, I was sure that Jammin 1 and 2 were looking up at him with wide eyes.

“Why are you guys here?”

“No wonder we are here! Uncle, why are you here? This is not a place anyone can come in.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Jammin 1’s bold question.

“You’re the right person to come in, so you should come in, right?”

“I think I know!”

At that time, Jammin 2, who was quietly rolling his eyes, spoke.

Then Jammin 1 admires 2 and his eyes sparkle.

“really? What?”

“Umm~~~ You’re here to deliver goods from the general store, right!”

“Ah! That’s right! Are you here to deliver?”

It was unimaginable that I would have come as a sponsor.

“Let’s just say that.”

“Ehehehehe~ I think you got it right. Seeing that you can’t even speak mare.”

“Hit! Because I’m kind of smart.”

“It’s okay, Jammin, why did you guys come here?”

“Did you just come to see a familiar face?”

“It’s said that it’s a connection even if you just brush your collar. If you’re a general store man, you can say hello.”

“Huh, it’s crazy.”

I don’t know where I heard such a thing about a kid.

Anyway, when I talk to them, there are often cases where I am dumbfounded.

“Guys! what are you guys doing there?”

at that time.

The prey came to me on its own feet.

“???”

“Are you having a conversation?”

Jammin didn’t seem to know that the student came because he was worried about them.

“Who are you talking to the kids? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you at the academy.”

An armband with the word leader written on it was draped across her left arm.

The leadership department was a sub-organization of the student council, and its job was to monitor the academy students to see if they were not violating school rules, as well as to manage internal security within the academy.

That’s why it was not unusual for the leading students to see us and approach us worrying.

Especially if it’s the R-class character I’ve been looking for.

“I was talking to them because they were kids I knew. I am not a suspicious person.”

“that’s right. We know each other.”

“Yep. He said he’s here to work.”

“Originally, crimes happen between people who know each other. Didn’t you learn in class that you shouldn’t follow or talk to anyone?”

“But this man is a good man.”

Jammin 1 grumbled and refuted the words of the student council.

I was embarrassed because I didn’t know that Jammin would take my side so actively.

“We’re not that close, aren’t we? Why are you pretending to be friendly?”

“Ah! You’re helping me!”

“Senior students in the student council will be taken away if you suspect them!”

“… As you can see, he doesn’t seem very suspicious. Excuse me. Seeing that the current situation is such a mess, I need to take a close look at it.”

“If you think of these guys’ usual behavior, it’s understandable enough.”

“What are we!”

“Can you guys stay here all the time? Where were you going?”

“oh! I have to go to class!”

“Keejak! late!”

Jammin 1 and 2 quickly disappeared.

Being late for class would be disastrous.

“Old guys. It disappeared in an instant.”

“It’s when it’s still sunny.”

The student in the leadership team was about to move on, saying that he would go away, probably thinking that his business was over.

I caught such a leading student.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“… with me?”

“Your name is Yui, right?

“How do you know my name?”

She, who had let go of her guard, started to be wary of me again.

“Perhaps it won’t hurt to talk to me.”

I told Yui, who was full of caution, not to worry.

“Sit over here.”

I was immediately taken to the lead room.

* * *

“Which tea would you like? I have everything.”

The academy and Bonnie facilities that nobles attended were very luxurious.

The same was true of the stale room used by the student council.

“Cold juice or whatever. A lot of ice.”

A frozen juice is placed in front of me.

I was worried that there might be other students, but luckily there were only me and Yui in the leadership room.

“I have no idea how you know me or what business you have with me. Can you clarify your identity first?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I am not a great person. He is a merchant who runs a general store near the academy.”

“… How was such a person able to enter the academy? Excuse me for a second. I thought I should check the visit log.”

“However much.”

I took out the pass from my neck and showed it to Yui.

The academy pass wasn’t just a piece of paper.

T-dik!

She started to panic when she checked something with magic on my pass.

“sponsor… Did you come in with qualifications? The business is to have a meeting with the dean.”

“I was on my way back from seeing you.”

“I’ve made a really big mistake.”

It was not possible for anyone to be able to enter the academy as a sponsor, and it was not possible for anyone to have an interview with the dean.

Of course, Yui’s attitude toward me becomes even more cautious.

“no. It’s just that the leader did what he had to do. Would you rather look at this?”

The marbles obtained by overlapping R-rank ‘Yui’.

He held it out in front of Yui.

“This… .”

What kind of reaction will it have?

Like the SSR kids who saw the unique equipment, will they be surprised and show possessiveness?

“It’s a bead. It’s pretty, but why… ?”

Contrary to my expectations, Yui didn’t seem to feel anything special about this marble.

“Touch it once. I think it will help students.”

“Wasn’t it just an ordinary marble?”

Since I am a sponsor, I don’t think they have any doubts, but I was not willing to touch the beads.

In fact, even if it were me, I don’t think I would be able to touch it easily if a suspicious person suddenly gave me a marble and asked me to touch it.

“At least it’s not bad for you. I can guarantee you that part.”

“… … .”

Contemplating whether or not to touch it, she finally put her hand to the marble.

And when Yui touched the marble, her body flashed.

[SYSTEM- ⭐️1-star enhancement succeeded.]

“Ohh.”

“ah?”

The system that the reinforcement was successful appeared.

I thought it would be like this, but it seems like it was just like that.

One of the marbles that had been rolling around was empty before I knew it.

‘This is a bit laborious.’

It’s good to know how to strengthen it, but it was a very inconvenient system to have to meet and touch the marbles to strengthen them.

“this… uh? uh huh?”

“Do you feel something?”

A 1-star enhancement won’t make that much of a growth, but if it goes up to 3-star or higher, you’ll definitely feel a sense of uplift.

“What the hell is this? I’ve never heard of anything like this.”

“Can you feel your body change?”

“yes! I can feel it. My body got stronger. I’ll have to check how much I’ve gotten stronger, but I can definitely feel the increase in strength.”

While clasping both hands tightly, the blushed cheeks blushed.

“There are still more marbles left. Do you want to finish it?”

Of course, Yui was greedily looking at the orb that created this power.

“Can I do more? I thought this was a one-time thing? one is gone How can I… .”

“There’s plenty of it, so try it. It probably won’t be able to become stronger indefinitely. There will definitely be limits.”

“I can’t just accept something like this… .”

“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to ask you for money. If I had done that, I would not have been eligible as a sponsor.”

The word “sponsorship qualification” must have relieved a lot of discomfort, and eventually Yui put her hand on the marble again.

Flash-!

Light emanated from the body again, and this time two orbs disappeared.

[SYSTEM – Successfully upgraded to ⭐️2 stars.]

This flashing continued for some time.

From 3 stars, it didn’t stick as well as I thought.

Flash!

[SYSTEM – Failed to enhance ⭐️3 stars.]

Flash!

[SYSTEM – Failed to enhance ⭐️3 stars.]

“uh… I guess it doesn’t work anymore. Only the beads disappear and there is no difference.”

“no. It failed. not that i can’t anymore So go ahead.”

“Failure… ?”

Yui, who was playing Gingamin, finally reached 3 stars.

[SYSTEM – Successfully upgraded to ⭐️3 stars.]

“Aww! What do we do. It tickles my stomach and feels strange!”

sudden growth in power.

It seemed that he wanted to pour the explosive energy that went around inside his body somewhere.

I seduced Yui, saying let’s endure a little more and grow more.

She, too, took a deep breath to calm her agitated mind, and then started strengthening through the beads again.

Fortunately, there was no case where it did not stick like the 3-star.

[SYSTRM – Successfully upgraded to ⭐️5 stars.]

When the gear nose is successfully enhanced to 5 stars.

Touching the beads no longer causes them to disappear.

“Looks like it’s over now.”

“Where the hell did you get this from? It’s an innovation, it’s a revolution! If you mass-produce it and bid for the military, you’ll make money. I will actively promote it!”

Falling in love with the performance of the marbles, she said that she would buy all of them in the name of the student council if they were in stock.

Apparently, she thought that I strengthened this marble with the intention of selling it.

Isn’t this marble only usable by the children I summoned?

Selling this would make me a cheater.

So she opened her mouth to clear up the misunderstanding.

No, I was about to open it, but a system window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[You have completed the growth of the first character.]

[Achievement achieved!]

[Receive the reward by completing the first achievement.]

[Achievement Reward: Awakening]

“uh?”
