The Saint's Trial: Can He Resist Their Charm!?

After his battle with the Vorpal Rabbit, Hiroto doesn't have the time to feel tired as he know that this dangerous rabbit might wake up at any minute.

He noticed that Saeko was watching him from afar when he was in the middle of the battle and he looked at her direction to signal her to stay away for a while.

It looks like she understood what he meant by that gesture of his because she looked at him worriedly for a moment before running towards the tree where she stayed initially.

"Now, please use the Daily spin first Ariel-chan!" Hiroto said.

‹Okie dokie Hiro! You can start praying at all the Gods you know! This Daily spin is under all categories so you don't have a say in what item you're gonna get! You can even get a dragon's poop here if you're super unlucky!› said Ariel jokingly.

"Don't make me nervous you Ariel-chan! I'm betting all my properties in here so that I can get some kind of thing for helping this rabbit!" said Hiroto.

‹Hehe, we both know that you don't have any property to bet!› said Ariel.

"Anyway, look! It's starting to spin!" Hiroto said, trying to change the topic.

[Karararang, karararang, karararang] *sounds of plastic balls crashing at each other and spinning*

He is getting quite nervous since he only have a total of 6 spins in here! One for Super Gacha and Free Gacha, and 4 for Premium Gacha. So he doesn't know if his Luck can help him here in any way.

After 10 seconds of rumbling, a *poton* sound was heard and a blue ball finally popped put of the Gacha and Hiroto mentally tapped on it to open.

›[You gained the skill |Cooking|!]

"Ugh, how am I supposed to use this as a way to cure this rabbit here? Do I have to cook something and make it taste the heavenly dish? This is not a cooking manga anyway!" Hiroto shouted.

Hiroto sighed and told Ariel to open up all the Gacha spin Tickets that he have.

After 10 seconds of hearing the rumbling noises, a *poton* sound can be heard once again. This time, 4 balls emerged from the Gacha Machine that has a word 'Premium' written on top of it in a fancy way.

The four balls have varying colors; 2 of them are golden, 1 of them is silver and the remaining 1 is purple.

First, Hiroto opened the purple one.

›[You gained the Intermediate Spells Pack!]

"Hmm, intermediate spells huh. Hey, Ariel-chan. You said that what was portrayed in the novels those writers wrote were just not the whole truth right? Then does that mean that the magic of this world isn't all that was said in that novel?" Hiroto asked. He is curious whether the magic in this world isn't as bland as what was portrayed in the novel.

‹The spells that was mentioned in that novel were really the only spells 'known' by the populace. Other races of this world have their own understanding about magic and their own spells. The magic system of this world is broader than you think,› explained Ariel.

"Hmm, I'll first focus on training my Swordsmanship and battle capabilities. Although my swordsmanship is at a high level, it doesn't mean I can utilize it fully. That aside, let's open the silver one next," saying this, Hiroto mentally tapped on the silver ball.

›[You gained the |Sacred Purification| spell!]

›[You gained 500,000 eris!]

"Woah, this is absolutely broken. To think I would get an SS rank ball and a Sacred type spell. Hmm, |Sacred Purification| won't work on removing the power of this evil God though. I'll quickly open the other two," he said.

Hiroto then opened the remaining golden balls and checked what was inside it.

›[You gained the |Holy Dispel| spell!]

›[You gained a Body Strengthening Manual!]

›[You gained 1,000,000 eris!]

›[You gained 1,000 gacha points!]

•~•~•~•~•~•

"Hey, Ariel-chan. Isn't this Body Strengthening Manual too dangerous? To think that it can make a person go bald. What a terrifying manual," Hiroto said while shivering at the thought of him losing all his hair.

‹You should practice this technique Hiro. I don't think it would affect your hair roots, you're a Seraphim so your organs and body is stronger than a normal human by a large margin overall,› said Ariel.

"Please, I don't want to lose my hair you know? What would it be like if you lose all your hair," said Hiroto.

‹Don't worry, Hiro. If ever you go bald because of this manual. I'll take responsibility and, although reluctantly marry you,› said Ariel in a teasing manner.

"Give me a break Ariel-chan. Let's just try this manual out when my bloodline awakens further, okay? I have a feeling that my regeneration won't be able to handle this technique, and I'll go bald," said Hiroto. He certainly won't practice the training regime in this manual until he have 100% assurance that he won't go bald. He loves his silver hair because it resembles his mother, so he won't let is disappear.

‹Alright, but make sure to try practicing according to this manual. I'm sure your body's strength will grow exponentially! Although you can power up your skills and magic exponentially, you still have to train on how to use it. Thanks to your Menu, you don't have to go through the effort of strengthening your body,› Ariel said. She, too, is worried about the one and only glaring weakness of Hiroto. Hiroto is like a newbie pilot who was given a state of the art, futuristic vehicle but he doesn't know how to drive it. It was such a sad thing.

"I know, after all this, I'm gonna go train for a month and master my skills and spells!" Hiroto said with conviction.

"Alright, although we already have the solution for the Vorpal rabbit's predicament, I am still curious what will the Super Gacha give. Its cooldown is 1 year and all, so might as well use it so I can spin the gacha once more in an earlier time," he said. He doesn't want to delay using the spin.

Hearing his words, Ariel complied and clicked the [Spin] button.

[Karararang, karararang, karararang] *sounds of plastic balls crashing at each other and spinning*

After 10 seconds time of waiting, a blinding light suddenly flashed from the gacha machine which made Hiroto close his eyes momentarily.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes. There, he saw the shimmering light that the ball, which came out of the Gacha Machine, is emitting. It shone in a brilliant, multicolored light, that sometimes dance like the Aurora Borealis.

Hiroto was shocked by what he saw, he still doesn't know what the colors of the balls represent but, he is sure that he hit the jackpot right now. Just to make sure that he is right, he asked Ariel who pressed the button for him.

"Hey, Ariel-chan. I'm not dreaming right? I'm not informed about what these colors on the balls represent but I am sure that this one is one of the jackpots right?"

‹U-Um, yeah. This one is certainly an EX rank ball containing an amazingly overpowered item. Just so you know, the colors representing; EX, SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Are as follows; Rainbow, Golden, Silver, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Red, Green, Black, Gray, and White respectively.›

Hiroto was silent for a moment before he suddenly burst out laughing and jumped up and down im glee. As if it was not enough, he started shouting out loud.

"Wooohooo! I hit the jackpot! The thing that always have a 0.00001% or less chance of getting in a spin! Thank you Ariel-chan! You're my lucky star aren't you?!"

If Ariel have a physical body right now, Hiroto would be all over her, hugging and kissing her over and over in happiness. He didn't expect much from the spin, he even suspected getting a low rank item from it. But he suddenly remembered that he got 2 golden colored balls earlier.

'Doesn't that mean I got 2 SSS rank items? How lucky can a person be?! Now I'm worried if I've already spent all the luck I have in this lifetime,' he thought.

‹If you remember, you have a ridiculous amount of luck. I don't think anyone in the whole history of the Akashic Records can top the amount of luck you have. I think you have the Goddess of Fortune to thank for that, and also the Menu. I think the Menu has something to do with your luck multiplying, even though it was already beyond the Goddess's capabilities. Even I, its System Fairy, don't know the extent of what it can do.›

'Yeah, I have to agree on that. I was even thinking why I don't feel any pain or anything when my body is supposed to be drastically changing. Even Saeko was exempted to it,' Hiroto said.

‹That is, most certainly, because of your Menu. People normally experience pain when their attributes suddenly spike up. For Strength, they would experience the muscles tearing apart and repair itself multiple times until your muscles reach the strength you gained from your attribute increasing. Agility is also similar to strength, it's only difference is that the tearing and repairing of muscles happen in your legs. This process increase the explosive strength your legs can release, simultaneously increasing your raw speed. For Dexterity, they experience a huge amount of pain in the back part of their brain. It's where their cerebellum is located. They feel pain because their cerebellum develops faster than normal. Cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls balance and the use of muscles. Endurance is similar to Strength and Agility, aside from strengthening your whole body, it also strengthen your internal organs too. When your internal organs function well, your regeneration also gets faster. Magic is different though, what they feel would be an unbearable pain going all over their body. It is because of your mana paths being expanded to speed up your mana regeneration and mana capacity. Because you have the Menu, it helps strengthen you and your companions secretly, without feeling an ounce of pain,› Ariel explained.

"That means, even if I continuously add a lot of status points on my attributes, Menu will help me strengthen my body without feeling the pain I'm supposed to be feeling," Hiroto said.

'I'm thankful that I have Menu. If not, then I should be rolling on the ground previously, while experiencing pain all over,' he thought.

He shivered when he remembered how much attributes he gained when his overall status multiplied by 2. He shook his head and decided to first focus on the jackpot he received.

"I wonder what I received from this Super Gacha."
