1 duplicate bead of SSR Shine.

Hundreds of duplicate marbles for R-class characters.

The existence of new items that had not been released in the game system was enough to make me excited.

This is because I knew very well that no matter what the new feature was, it would be beneficial to me and not a disadvantage.

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

I have never met any R-class or SR-class characters since I summoned them.

I didn’t think I should hope for an easy meeting like Ariando (SSR), who came in without me having to step forward.

‘There are more students than I thought?’

It was natural that it was not easy to find the R grade I had chosen among so many students.

Moreover, it is not enough to simply find it.

I had to go and talk to them in person, but it was difficult for me as an outsider to do that.

The best way was to approach me first with curiosity.

Trying not to look too suspicious, I kept my eyes peeled for Class R students.

“uh? “He’s a general store guy.”

At that time, a cute voice is heard from below.

I looked down at the familiar voice I had heard before, and sure enough, I saw Jammin 1 and 2 looking up at me with their bewildered eyes.

“Why are you guys here?”

“It’s natural that we are here! Sir, why are you here? “This isn’t a place where anyone can come in.”

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

“You’re the one who deserves to come in, so you’ll come in, right?”

“I think I know!”

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

Then Jammin 1 admires 2 and his eyes sparkle.

“really? What?”

“Uhm~~~ I’m here to deliver items from the general store, right!”

“Ahh! That’s right! “You’re here to deliver?”

It seemed inconceivable that I would have come as a sponsor.

“Let’s just say that.”

“Ehehe~ I guess you got it right. “I see you can’t even use a mare.”

“Hi! “Because I’m kind of smart.”

“Okay, Jammin, why did you guys come?”

“I just came here because I saw a familiar face?”

“They say you’re meant to be just by brushing the collar, but if you’re a general store guy, you can say hello.”

“Huh, that’s ridiculous.”

I don’t know where I heard that from a kid.

Anyway, when I talk to these people, I often end up feeling dumbfounded.

“Guys! “What are you doing there?”

at that time.

The prey approached me on its own feet.

“???”

“Are we having a conversation?”

The jammins didn’t seem to know that the student had come because he was worried about them.

“Who are you talking to the kids? “I think it’s someone I’ve never seen before at the Academy.”

An armband with the name Leader Club written on it was draped over her left arm.

The leadership department was a subordinate organization of the student council, and its job was to monitor academy students to ensure they were not violating school rules, as well as managing internal security within the academy.

Therefore, it was not strange for a student from the leadership group to approach us with concern.

Even more so if he is the R-level character I was looking for.

“We were talking because we knew each other. “I’m not a suspicious person.”

“that’s right. “We know each other.”

“Yep. “He said he came to work.”

“Originally, crimes occur between acquaintances. “Didn’t you learn in class that you shouldn’t follow or talk to just anyone?”

“But this guy is a good guy.”

Jammin 1 mumbled and retorted to the student council’s words.

I was embarrassed because I didn’t expect Jammin to take my side so actively.

“We’re not that close, are we? “Why are you acting friendly?”

“Ay! “You’re siding with me!”

“If you suspect a senior student council member, you will be dragged away!”

“… From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like he’s really a suspicious person. Excuse me. “The current situation is so chaotic that we need to look at it closely.”

“If you think about these guys’ usual behavior, it’s completely understandable.”

“What are we!”

“But you guys can keep staying here? “Where were you going?”

“oh! “I have to go to class!”

“Kyaak! late!”

Jammin 1 and 2 suddenly disappeared.

It would be embarrassing to be late for class.

“Really, you guys. “It disappeared in an instant.”

“It’s still sunny.”

The leader student seemed to think that he was done with seeing me, so he said he would just leave and tried to walk away.

I caught such a leading student.

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“… “With me?”

“The student’s name is Yui, right?

“How do you know my name?”

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

“Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to talk to me.”

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

“Please sit this way.”

I was immediately dragged into the leadership role.

* * *

“What kind of tea would you like to drink? “Everything you can possibly find is there.”

Considering it was an academy attended by nobles, the facilities themselves were very luxurious.

The same was true for the clubroom used by the student council.

“Anything cold and juice. “Lots of ice.”

Juice with ice on it is placed in front of me.

I was worried that there might be other students, but fortunately, there were only Yui and I in the guidance club room.

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

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

“… How was it possible for someone like that to enter the academy? Please excuse me for a moment. “I think I need to check my visit records.”

“However much.”

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

The academy pass was not just a piece of paper.

Tidig!

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

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

“I was on my way back from a meeting.”

“I made a really big mistake.”

Not everyone was able to enter the academy as a sponsor, and not everyone was able to meet with the dean.

Of course, Yui’s attitude toward me has become more cautious.

“no. Because the leaders just did what they had to do. Would you please look at this instead?”

Orbs obtained by stacking the R-rated ‘Yui’.

I held it out in front of Yui.

“This… .”

What kind of reaction will there be?

Will they be surprised and possessive like the SSR kids who saw their unique equipment?

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

Contrary to my expectations, Yui didn’t seem to find anything special about this bead.

“Just touch it. “I think it will probably be helpful to students.”

“Wasn’t it just an ordinary bead?”

They didn’t seem to have any doubts since I said I was their sponsor, but they couldn’t touch the beads willingly.

Actually, 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 your health. “I can assure you of that.”

“… … .”

After wondering whether she should touch it or not, she finally placed her hand on the bead.

And Yui’s body flashed when it touched the bead.

[SYSTEM- ⭐️Successful strengthening of 1 star.]

“Ohh.”

“ah?”

A system pops up saying that the reinforcement was successful.

I thought it would be like this, but I guess it turned out to be the same.

One of the many marbles that had been rolling around was suddenly empty.

‘This is a bit too much work.’

It’s good to know how to strengthen, but having to meet in person and touch the beads to strengthen them was a very inconvenient system.

“this… uh? “Huh?”

“Do you feel something?”

1-star strengthening may not produce much growth, but if it goes up to 3-star or higher, you will be able to feel a more definite sense of uplift.

“What on earth is this? “I’ve never heard of anything like this.”

“Can you feel your body changing?”

“yes! I can feel it. My body has become stronger. “I’ll have to check to see how much stronger I’ve become, but I can definitely feel my strength increasing.”

While clenching both hands tightly, the flushed cheeks turn bright red.

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

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

“Can I do more? I thought this was disposable? One is gone. How can I get this precious thing… .”

“There are plenty of them, so give it a try. It’s probably not possible to become stronger indefinitely. “There will definitely be limits.”

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

“Don’t worry, I don’t plan on asking you for money. “If I had done something like that, I wouldn’t have been eligible as a sponsor.”

Yui finally put her hand on the bead again, probably because the words “sponsor qualification” eased her discomfort.

Flash!

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

[SYSTEM – Successfully strengthened ⭐️2 stars.]

This flashing continued for some time.

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

Flash!

[SYSTEM – ⭐️3-star enhancement failed.]

Flash!

[SYSTEM – ⭐️3-star enhancement failed.]

“uh… I guess it doesn’t work anymore. “The beads just disappear and I don’t feel any different.”

“no. It failed. It’s not that I can’t do it anymore. So keep doing it.”

“Failure… ?”

Yui, who had been struggling, finally reached 3 stars.

[SYSTEM – ⭐️3-star enhancement was successful.]

“Ugh! What do we do. “My stomach feels itchy and strange!”

Power that suddenly grew.

It seemed like he wanted to pour out the explosive energy moving around inside his body somewhere.

I persuaded Yui to endure a little longer and grow further.

She calmed down her excitement by taking deep breaths and began reinforcing with the beads again.

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

[SYSTRM – ⭐️5-star enhancement was successful.]

When you succeed in strengthening it to 5 stars.

The phenomenon of the beads no longer disappearing when touched.

“I guess it’s over now.”

“Where on earth did you get this? This is innovation and revolution! All you have to do is mass produce it and bid it out to the military, and you’ll make some money. “I will actively promote it!”

She was so enamored with the performance of the beads that she said without any hesitation that she would buy them all in the name of the student council if they were in stock.

I guess she thought I strengthened the beads with the intention of selling them.

Can’t this orb only be used by the kids I summoned?

If I sold this, I would be a fraud.

So I opened my mouth to clear up her misunderstanding.

No, I tried to open it, but suddenly a system window popped up in front of me.

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

[Achievement achieved!]

[You will receive a reward for completing your first achievement.]

[Achievement Completion Reward: Awakening]

“uh?”
