Female Leads Obsess Over a Counter-Attack Character with Narrow Eyes

[ 4 : 58 ]

Numbers appeared in the lower right corner of my vision and began to decrease gradually. Could this be indicating the duration of the blessing?

‘No, but why is the blessing state like this?’

A blessing that makes luck extremely good. It’s not the effect I expected, but it seems good enough. However.

‘What am I supposed to do with just 5 minutes?’

I’ll probably be stuck in this auditorium for at least 20 more minutes, which would make the very existence of this blessing meaningless.

I racked my brain as quickly as possible. How can I make use of this half-dazed blessing?

‘Since it improves luck… Should I buy a lottery ticket? No, I don’t have money with me, and I don’t even know if I can buy one within 5 minutes.’

Everything else is fine, but these 5 minutes are really terrible. Even if I try to do something, the time is too short to properly do anything.

‘Improved luck… This is really hopeless. Should I go to a store and try to win a plush toy from a claw machine?’

Wait, drawing?

Suddenly, my mind became clear. Yes, that’s it.

I recalled a product from the achievement shop that I’ve occasionally used when the game wasn’t going well.

‘That might allow me to get the most out of this blessing.’

However, to use the achievement shop, I need to go somewhere with few people. If I were to use the achievement shop here, I might show everyone the miracle of creating something from nothing.

Moreover, since Charlotte, another person who uses the achievement shop, is present, I might accidentally reveal my identity to her.

It’s still too early to reveal to her that I came from Earth. I can’t predict how she would react if she realized that there are possessed individuals other than herself.

[ 4 : 13 ]

Oh shit. Almost 40 seconds have already evaporated. There’s no more time to delay. I need to leave this place quickly to be able to do something, whether it works out or not.

Now that Merquin has returned to the stage and everyone’s attention is drawn to him, I abruptly stood up from my seat.

“Mr. Sion? The event hasn’t ended yet.”

When I suddenly stood up, Sheena, who was nearby, stopped me.

I made a serious expression to her and said.

“Miss Sheena. From now on, I will be absent for 10 minutes to comprehend the true meaning of this world.”

“The meaning of what? Could you say that again?”

“I don’t even remember what I said! Anyway, excuse me for a moment!”

Kiyahho, run.

Everyone in our class except Sheena looked at me as if I were an idiot, but I didn’t care and ran out of the auditorium.

Splash!

Outside, the rain was pouring heavily.

“Umbrella… Ah, whatever!”

I can just wash up later. I decided to go through the heavy downpour.

I closed my eyes tightly and rushed forward, but…

“Hmm? The rain…”

It’s not raining. More precisely, it’s avoiding the area where I am. As if there’s a hole in the sky.

“At least the performance is definite!”

The feeling of being the only dry entity in the downpour wasn’t bad.

I continued to run until I was out of breath and found an alley that looked like no one would come.

Entering that alley, I caught my breath for a moment and checked the remaining time.

[ 0 : 42 ]

40 seconds left.

“Hurry, hurry!”

Opening the achievement shop at the speed of light, I quickly scrolled down to find the product I wanted.

And before long, I found it.

[Generous Random Box — 2500 points]
[Items from normal to legendary grade appear randomly. Good luck]

A box where the contents are determined solely by the user’s luck, the Generous Random Box.

“It could be a dangerous gamble, but…”

Right now, I’m a man loved by luck.

“I like gambling, I say!”

[Generous Random Box (2500 points) X 4 purchase complete]

I spent all my points to buy 4 Generous Random Boxes.

[ 0 : 29 ]

Phew… Taking a deep breath.

“Now!”

Open all the boxes!
Please, just one hero grade item at least…!

[Opening Generous Random Box]
[You have acquired Beautiful Hairpin (Normal)]

[Opening Generous Random Box]
[You have acquired Master Key (Hero)]

[Opening Generous Random Box]
[You have acquired Parkour Trait Stone (Rare)]

[Opening Generous Random Box]
[You have acquired Wanderer’s Job Change Book (Legendary)]

Thud!

As I opened the boxes, numerous objects poured out in front of me all at once.

A butterfly-shaped hairpin, a rough key, a beautiful marble, and a somewhat shabby book.

“Wait, Legendary?!”

I glanced at the message for a moment and couldn’t help but open my eyes wide and open my mouth.

Legendary grade. A grade that most people fail to obtain even if they try hard with determination.

“Oh, crazy world.”

As of now, not only Charlotte and Pascal, but even Jeremy, whom I was raising as an assassin, wouldn’t have a legendary trait. Ah, Sheena is an exception.

In short, it’s a mega-jackpot. I was planning to strip and dance if just one hero-grade item came out, but now that a legendary grade has appeared, I don’t know what to do.

Should I strip and dance while losing my mind? No, isn’t stripping and dancing already losing one’s mind?

Due to the sudden excessive secretion of endorphins, I’m not even sure what I’m thinking.

“First… I need to take all of these.”

I don’t have a backpack, but it doesn’t matter.

As a result of examining what game-like functions have been granted to me over the past 4 days, I’ve confirmed that I can use inventory.

After holding the items from the Generous Random Box in both hands and intending to put them in my inventory, the items instantly left my hands and disappeared.

“Phew, fortunately I don’t have to say ‘Inventory!’ aloud.”

Now that I’ve finished my business, I should head back…

At that moment, a red crack appeared on the wall of the alley where I was.

‘Huh? This is…’

One might be surprised by such a sudden phenomenon, but it was too familiar.

The crack grew large enough for a person to pass through, then spread wide.

Through the gap in the crack, all I could see was darkness, and after passing through that darkness, a girl appeared in front of me.

“You’re quite talented at annoying people, aren’t you? Where are you suddenly wandering off to?”

Charlotte approached me through the crack.

For a moment, I felt a chill down my spine at the thought that I could have been caught in the act of purchasing the Generous Random Box, but I naturally composed my expression and spoke brazeningly as always.

“Oh? Lady Cervantes? Could it be that you came looking for me because you were worried? I’m touched!”

“Be quiet. The homeroom teacher just asked me to find you, so I had no choice but to look for you.”

“Either way, you came looking for me, didn’t you? I’m touched by that fact itself. By the way, Lady Cervantes, you use quite a convenient magic.”

The phenomenon that just occurred was Charlotte’s specialty magic, Dimensional Rift, which creates a crack in space to transcend space.

It has a fast activation speed, its destructive power is limitless depending on how it’s used, and it’s convenient to use for purposes other than combat as her signature magic.

“My magic is quite capable. Anyway, let’s go back quickly. The event is almost ending now. But…”

Charlotte, who seemed to sense something strange, tilted her head, looked around, and continued.

“It’s pouring rain everywhere else, but why is it not raining here?”

“Ah.”

By the way, how much time is left for the blessing duration?

[ 0 : 2 ]

Hmm.

“Lady Cervantes.”

“What?”

“Do you like showers?”

“Huh?”

[ 0 : 0 ]
[Merquin’s blessing has expired]

Splash

When Merquin’s blessing disappeared, the raindrops that had been avoiding only my surroundings began to pour down as before, as if it were a lie.

“Ack, cold.”

My clothes, which had remained dry in the downpour, quickly began to get wet.

And that wasn’t just applicable to me.

“……”

Charlotte, soaking wet, pushed back her disheveled hair and glared at me. It was a look that seemed like it would be immediately relieved if she killed just one person.

“Uh, oh? What’s this sudden happening? Does the sky hate Lady Cervantes? The rain suddenly pours down. Let’s go back quickly.”

“Haa… What trouble is this because of you…”

Unable to withstand that hot gaze, I hurriedly turned my eyes away and quickly moved my feet into the crack.

After finishing the day’s schedule, I returned to the dormitory and quickly took a bath.

Then, after drying my body thoroughly, I lay down on the bed.

“Oh… As I felt yesterday too, this is a really soft bed.”

It would be nice to close my eyes and travel to the distant dreamland…

“It would be nice, but I still have things to do, so I’ll have to postpone it a bit.”

Heechah. With a shout, I got up from the bed and took out today’s harvest from my inventory.

First, the hairpin. It’s an ordinarily pretty hairpin with a butterfly-shaped decoration.

“I guess I’ll use this when I gift it to someone later.”

I doubt if I’ll ever have the occasion to gift someone, though.

Next is the Parkour Trait Stone.

Applying force to the round marble to break it, a new power was endowed to me.

[You have acquired Trait — Parkour (Rare)]

“Ah, marble fragments fell on the bed.”

Since there are no vacuum cleaners in this world, I had no choice but to roughly collect the fragments with my hands and throw them in the trash.

“Since I can’t use Parkour here, it would be better to test it later.”

Although I was eager to try the new trait right away, I decided to hold back since I didn’t want to break all the furniture in the dormitory.

Next is the Master Key.

“This is quite cheating, you know.”

It’s literally a master key that can pick most locks.

Of course, being a hero grade, it won’t be able to unlock locks that are locked with a high-level entity’s spell, but aside from that, it can break through most mechanisms.

I plan to use it very usefully during the upcoming performance evaluations.

“And finally…!”

I licked my lips and picked up a somewhat shabby book.

A book titled ‘The Wanderer’s Autobiography.’

The Wanderer’s Job Change Book, literally a book that allows one to change to the legendary grade class ‘Wanderer.’

In Grand Fantasia, once you accumulate a certain level in each domain, you naturally acquire a class, and the grade and ability of the class are determined by the achievements and path you’ve walked.

‘A representative example is that Sheena will acquire the class of World Savior in the future.’

To obtain a desired class, one must put in bone-breaking effort. Even trivial conversations with NPCs can influence class formation.

‘It was an everyday occurrence to create a new character after choosing a few dialogue options incorrectly.’

But with this job change book, you don’t need to worry about that. Just by opening this book, a legendary grade class will be bestowed upon me.

“But this class of Wanderer… It seems like a class that’s definitely in my memory.”

Closing my eyes for a moment to trace my memory, it soon came to me.
This is a class just below the final stage that seekers pursue.

Seeker, a person who practices to gain truth or enlightenment. In short, a being who can be called someone who finds their own path.

Seekers wander in search of their own truth, and the stage just before reaching that truth is this stage called ‘Wanderer.’

Hmm, suddenly I feel uneasy.

“Come to think of it, I think there were classes that couldn’t use job change books unless certain conditions were met…”

For example, a character whose race was changed to demon cannot use a holy knight job change book. This is because they don’t meet the condition that ‘the character must not be an evil entity.’

Then, could there also be job change conditions for this Wanderer class?
Like ‘the character must be a seeker.’ I’m not sure since I’ve never directly obtained this Wanderer class.

“Ah… No way.”

Shaking my head to shake off the uneasiness, I slowly opened the book. Then, a bright golden light burst out from the book.

[You have used the Wanderer’s Job Change Book]
[Failed to change job as the condition, ‘the character must walk the path of a seeker,’ is not met]

The golden light subsided and the book began to close again.

Oh shit. Really?

I can’t believe my concerns actually came true. Suddenly my vision goes bla-

[…I’ll reverse my decision. Traces of Yengak are detected in the character]
[The character is recognized as a seeker. Proceeding with job change]

But as the subsequent message reversed the previous statement, the book began to open wide again.

The golden light, which was leaking out fiercely again, rotated around me as if scanning me, and then settled back into the book.

And in the corner of that shabby book, small letters were engraved.

Written by Sion

[You have changed to the class, Wanderer]

And that’s how I became a Wanderer.
