Chapter 3: Let's Give It a Try
I decided to go home and take a close look at whatever came out of the Gacha.
"Looks like there's a鉴定 on this... Let's try it out first."
I sucked the candy into my mouth.
After a while, I tried using the mirror to assess myself. My status floated into my mind...

"Seriously... I actually saw the stats...!"
"鉴定" is definitely working. So why can't I use magic? Let me check the "earth magic" I haven't eaten yet.
Earth Magic R
I manipulate rocks and soil to attack enemies.
But you need the right aptitude.
The note inside the capsule says the same thing—that “aptitude required” is invisible without a鉴定.
So... does that mean I don’t have any magic affinity? Might be useful later, so I’ll just eat it for now.
And what the hell is this (I)? Some kind of skill level?
No unique skill, huh...
So much was still unclear. Especially this "Career Board."
Unlike any other candy, this one’s shaped like a thin card—touch it, and…
Change your class? Y/N
appears on the card. Currently listed as unemployed...
I mean, I’m technically a freelancer… but I do work at a izakaya…
And while I’m muttering all that, checking the SR “Monk” and “Sage,” there’s no <Y·N> prompt even when I touch them.
So… “Monk” and “Sage” can’t be used right now, huh…?
Anyway, I decided to eat all the candies except the ones on the职业 board. Status changes…

"Guess it’s true—eating two of them made it… (II)…"
Status-enhancing skills increased by 10% at (I). So at (II) it’s… 20% higher…?
Wait—MP’s dropping. Probably from using “Spatial-Temporal Manipulation.”
I also checked a few things with “Scouting.”
Ended up staying up all night… … … …
