Chapter 3

After I got home, I carefully checked all the stuff I got from the gacha.

"It appears I got Appraisal. Let's try it out first."

I put the candy in my mouth.

After a bit, I went ahead, got a mirror, and tried to appraise myself. Suddenly, my status appeared inside my head.

"It really came out!"

'So, "Appraisal" really does work.'

'In that case why can I not use magic?'

I tried appraising the "Earth Magic" that I was yet to eat.

Earth Magic R

[Manipulate rocks and soil to attack one's enemies.

However aptitude is necessary.]

The first part of the description was written on the paper inside the capsule, but it seems that the "aptitude is necessary" part can't be seen unless you have Appraisal.

This means that I don't have aptitude for magic? I may eventually be able to use it. I might as well eat it.

Also, what is this (I) thing?

Is it something like the skill's level?

"It appears that the Unique Skills don't have it."

There was a ton of stuff that I didn't understand. Especially this "Class Slate" thing.

It was different from the candies, and it's shape was similar to a thin card. When I tried touching it...

<Do you want to change class? Y/N>

Appeared on top of the card. My current status is Classless, but...

"Even though I'm a part-timer, I still work in an Izakaya, however..."

While repeating those words I tried touching the "Monk" and "Sage" classes. However, the <Y/N> text didn't appear.

'In other words I currently cannot change to a "Monk" or a "Sage" huh.'

For now, I left the Class Slates aside and ate all of the remaining candies. After which. my status became like this...

Classless Lv1

HP 44/44

MP 12/31

Strength 14 → 15.4

Defense 10 → 11

Magic Defense 16 → 19.2

Agility 11

"It really did become (II) after I ate another one."

Each (I) status increases a skill. It seems like it raises the related stat by 10%. Will it increase by 20% when it becomes (II)?

'Looking more closely, I really did use up my MP.'

'It's probably because I used "Space and Time Manipulation."'

After continuing to use "Appraisal" on a lot of other things, I lost track of the time and ended up staying up all night.
