Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!



Tyler, being unconvinced, flipped through the entire book and finally discovered the secret on the back cover.

On the back cover was a line of text:

"Please infuse magical energy to generate your exclusive spell and magic circle."

It turns out that magic books require an infusion of magical energy to reveal the magic construct and corresponding magic circle.

Tyler imagined the sensation of releasing his skill and successfully infused magical energy. A few seconds later, a line of text emerged on the first page of the book.

"Exclusive content generated for you."

Tyler flipped through a few more pages, and indeed, there was now text and illustrations.

(So that's how it works. Once infused with magical energy, the book becomes exclusively mine.)

(As it contains exclusive magic constructs and magic circles, stealing the book would be pointless for others.)

Such a sophisticated design made Tyler marvel at the thorough protection of magic in this world... However, he soon realized he had misunderstood.

Knowledge is priceless, but the cost of pirating textual content is extremely low.

Since there are magic books, there must be publishing houses and distributors.

The protective mechanisms in magic books are actually designed to prevent the cheap piracy or even free dissemination of magic books.

Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with Tyler. Having accessed the content of the magic book, all that was left was verification.

As a Junior Assassin, could he use magic? Tyler couldn't wait to find out.

Over an hour later, Tyler concluded his exploration of magic.

Up until now, his conclusion was that he could use magic, but not entirely.

According to the instructions in "Tier-1 Fire Magic: Fireball," to cast Fireball, Tyler needed to recite a two-thousand-word incantation completely. During the recitation, he also had to accurately release magical energy to construct the magic formula, subsequently generating the corresponding magic circle.

Once all of this was completed accurately and precisely, Tyler successfully ignited the magic circle in his hand and launched the generated fireball into the sky outside the window.

The fireball disappeared without a trace after flying a certain distance, causing no harm to any innocent airborne creatures.

That was the total result of Tyler's endeavors.

In summary: magic was usable, but not practical in actual combat.

However, Tyler did discover some useful information in the magic book:

Firstly, as long as one awakened the Combat Occupation "Mage," they would definitely master the "automatic incantation" skill.

According to the magic book, the "automatic incantation" skill, depending on the level, could record incantations for up to ten spells, freeing mages from the constraints of books and incantations.

Secondly, the "automatic incantation" skill also came with an incantation acceleration effect. For a two-thousand-word incantation like "Tier-1 Fire Magic: Fireball," it took Tyler more than ten minutes to recite, while even the lowest level of "automatic incantation" only required 10 seconds.

In other words, the "automatic incantation" skill was the foundation for using magic in actual combat. Until Tyler found an alternative to "automatic incantation," he was temporarily disconnected from magic.

(No wonder it's a world of impossible difficulty... It's truly hardcore.)

.

That very afternoon, the atmosphere outside The Quest Guild suddenly became lively.

Tyler peered from the window and noticed that a young man named "Nassar" had returned.

━━━━━━━━━

Nassar, Male, 26 years old, The Quest Guild - Sunny Town Branch - Cadre

Production Occupation: None

Manufacturing Occupation: None

Combat Occupation: Sword Wielder - Lv36

━━━━━━━━━

(26 years old and level 36… not bad, he is considered quite promising in Sunny Town.)

Tyler stayed in his room at the inn, from where he could clearly observe the situation at The Quest Guild.

This young man called Nassar was tall and burly, a cheerful and lively lad.

He greeted everyone with a warm smile, easily engaging in friendly banter, and others were more than happy to converse with him, proving his excellent interpersonal skills.

If one were to write a set in Sunny Town, Nassar would undoubtedly fit the role of the male protagonist… at least, that was Tyler's initial assessment.

-"There's a young man named Nassar, who is ardently pursuing Emilia."

Tyler was grateful that Emilia was a rather aloof girl; if she were an ordinary girl, she would have been Nassar's girlfriend by now.

Now, with only six days left and Nassar as a rival, Tyler's situation was becoming precarious.

(Silly Nissen: Tyler… how can you still remain so calm? I feel like we might-o be running out of time this time!)

(Tyler: Can anxiety solve the problem?)

Tyler's retort left the stupid loli speechless.

A simple truth: Since Nassar has been pursuing Emilia for so long without success, it is highly unlikely that he would suddenly succeed in the next few days… unless something extraordinary occurs.

And now, with Tyler keeping watch in Sunny Town, such extraordinary events would be even less likely to happen.

In matters of romance, as long as the couple hasn't gotten together, there's no such thing as "first come, first served."

.

At the end of the day, Tyler went downstairs ahead of time and loitered outside the entrance of The Quest Guild.

He saw Nassar invite Emilia to dine together, though she tactfully declined.

(Silly Nissen: Well done! Beautiful rejection!)

Nassar was quite a decent fellow, not becoming angry or upset about being rejected, and continued to smile, saying he would wait until next time Emilia was available to dine together.

However, Tyler kept an eye on Nassar for a while, seemingly discovering something interesting.

Afterward, Emilia left The Quest Guild alone.

As she stepped outside, she glanced up at the inn, noticing that another little fox had been added to the exterior wall - a detail that Tyler, of course, observed.

Unfortunately, Emilia's inner thoughts were too few, and Tyler couldn't capture any of her feelings.

That evening, while dining at the Cat Girl Restaurant, Tyler initiated a conversation about recent events with the members of the Traveling Merchant Caravan.

From Marik, he learned that after the caravan was separated due to a landslide in the gorge, they had taken a detour around the Sandrift Gorge to reach the southern exit, hoping to meet up with him there.

Marik and his companions hadn't expected another landslide to block the southern exit, preventing them from waiting for Banning to emerge.

Later, the caravan went to Ira Village, where they unexpectedly heard from the village chief that Banning had visited Ira Village, cured Granny Kana's illness, and left for Sunny Town a few days ago.

Overjoyed, they hurried back to Sunny Town to find Banning, which caused the delay in their arrival compared to Banning's.

Tyler wasn't interested in any of this information, but he deliberately brought it up to elicit information from Granny Kasi using his mind-reading and "Deceiver" abilities.

And, indeed, he succeeded in his deception.

-(I need to find a way to have Banning continue traveling with the caravan… otherwise, I won't be able to report his location every day…)

-(Honestly, why won't the "Earthly Ghost" reveal the information about the "other observer"… collaborating would make things so much easier…)

-(But the "Earthly Ghost" is quite strange… the one who killed Swarerock must have been the young lady of the Scarlet Family, so what does it want with Banning?)
