"This woman... did she misunderstand sothing?"
Nate watched as Juvia walked away, ntally replaying their conversation. He had a vague feeling that her reaction wasn't quite right. Looking down at the magic bank card in his hand, he infused it with magic to check the balance. Sure enough, it contained 200,000 J. Then he glanced at the silver ring on his finger.
"Yeah, I guess this could easily cause a misunderstanding."
"Does she think I'm interested in her, giving her a ring as a sign of love? Is that why she reacted the way she did?"
After carefully reflecting for a mont, Nate wasn't entirely sure. Sothing definitely felt off. But to him, it wasn't all that important—as long as Juvia could distribute the rings within the Phantom Lord guild, that's all that mattered.
Next, Nate found a restaurant, ordered dinner, and opened his system to silently monitor the number of new user registrations. If the number didn't increase, he'd track Juvia down and reclaim the rings.
...
At the top of the mountain, in the city center, Juvia pushed open the doors of Phantom Lord's guild. With her arrival, the previously lively atmosphere instantly quieted.
"J-Juvia-sama, weren't you on a mission?" a female mage asked in surprise.
Juvia walked straight toward her, pulled out a ring, and said bluntly, "20,000 J. I'm selling this to you."
"Huh?" The female mage was montarily stunned. A magic ring?
Magic rings weren't uncommon, but this one had an unusually beautiful design.
"20,000 J. Pay up," Juvia repeated.
She rembered Nate's instructions: sell the rings to the guild mbers and make a good profit. While she didn't care much about money, she did care about following Nate's orders. So, she doubled the price.
Facing an S-Class mage, the female mage had no choice but to agree. Twenty thousand J wasn't that much for a magic ring, especially one that looked this good. She figured it was worth the price, even if she didn't know what magic it contained.
"Here you go," the mage said, handing over the money and receiving the ring. She eagerly put it on her finger and infused it with magic, only to freeze as lines of text appeared before her, asking her to input a nickna.
"The Internet...?"
Out of curiosity, she quietly entered her na.
Seeing the successful transaction, Juvia moved on to the next mage, pulling out another ring. Before she could even speak, this mage eagerly pulled out his money, grinning awkwardly. "Juvia-sama, I'll buy it! No need to ask!"
Next, and the next after that. Juvia continued using the sa thod, selling over a dozen rings. Eventually, feeling the pace was too slow, she loudly declared to the entire guild, "Everyone line up and buy a ring—hurry up!"
She was eager to sell them all and report back to Nate. As a girl who had lacked affection growing up, Nate's words, "I really like rainy days," had struck a chord deep within her heart. Of course, his handso face played a "small" role in her affection too.
The mages exchanged confused glances, unsure why Juvia-sama was acting so strangely. However, 20,000 J wasn't that much to them. It was far better than dealing with an angry S-Class mage.
"I'll buy one! Can I buy 10?" one mage asked.
"No. Only one per person."
One by one, the mages obediently lined up to buy rings. In just five minutes, Juvia sold all 199 rings, pocketing a total of 3.98 million J. She transferred the money to a new magic bank card and hurriedly left the guild.
It wasn't until she had gone that the guild mbers dared to speak up.
"What just happened? Did Juvia-sama drink too much?"
"Hey, everyone, put on the ring and infuse it with magic!"
"The Internet?"
"I've never seen this kind of magic before, but it looks fun!"
"There's a sign-in bonus at the top right. No idea what the points are for."
"You can play gas!"
A group of mages eagerly entered the Internet, their earlier confusion forgotten as they imrsed themselves in the virtual world.
...
In the restaurant by the window, Nate was still waiting for his food when he watched the number of registered users on his system soar from 101 to 300 in re minutes.
As for why it started at 101 instead of 100, the extra user was Gray.
[Mission: Gain 300 Internet users.]
[Completed!]
Nate was stunned.
*Juvia's efficiency is like riding a rocket!*
"Not bad. She's quite capable."
Nate nodded in satisfaction. Obedient and effective—he was beginning to like this "Rain Woman."
Claiming his system reward, Nate pondered for a mont and decided to choose the second option: "Six Eyes."
The first option, the Sharingan, didn't imdiately grant him the Mangekyo version and required further evolution. The third option, the Emperor Eye, could foresee all of an opponent's moves—both offensive and defensive—but was more suited for basketball players.
After so consideration, Nate opted for the support-type "Six Eyes."
The system's notification followed.
[Detected non-Jujutsu Kaisen world. Converting reward...]
[Bloodline talent: Six Eyes → Innate Magic: Six Eyes!]
Suddenly, Nate felt a heat in his eyes as a surge of complex magic knowledge flooded his mind, gradually forming an innate magic ability.
After a mont, Nate opened his eyes, revealing a pair of pale blue eyes with a faint white mist. It was as if his eyes reflected a vast sky, both mysterious and profound.
"So this is the perspective of Six Eyes? It'll take so getting used to."
"360-degree vision with no blind spots, and I can clearly see the flow of magic in everything."
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Nate spotted Juvia. The capable Rain Woman had returned to the street where they'd first t, looking around anxiously.
"Is she looking for ?"
Thinking this, Nate stood up and left the restaurant.
...
"Where is he?" Juvia stood where they had t, frantically scanning the area for Nate.
"I'm behind you."
Hearing his voice, Juvia's face lit up with joy as she spun around.
"Nate-sama!"
"You're quite capable. I'm starting to like you," Nate praised. "Co on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Juvia's heart raced, her face flushing with excitent.
"N-Nate-sama... your eyes?"
Suddenly noticing that Nate's eyes had changed, Juvia was taken aback.
"I just learned a new magic. Don't worry about it," Nate said casually, rubbing his eyes. This innate magic ant his Six Eyes would be active 24/7, allowing him to see through everything, including the magic of his enemies.
It also enhanced his ability to manipulate his own magic, making every bit of it more effective.
As for the downside...
It constantly drained his magic power. But thanks to the generous contributions of his "users," he had plenty to spare.
"Oh," Juvia murmured, feeling even happier as she followed Nate back to the restaurant.
Sitting by the window again, they were soon served a feast of delicious food.
"Is this... a date?" Juvia wondered, blushing and grinning as she covered her face in excitent.
"Oh, right, Nate-sama, I sold all the rings like you asked. I made a total of 3.98 million J," Juvia said eagerly, pulling out the bank card.
"That's yours. Keep it," Nate replied with a smile, already digging into his food. "I told you, you'd make a good profit, didn't I?"
He wasn't one to cheat capable "partners."
"So, how did you manage to sell them all?"
Juvia quickly recounted the details of how she sold the rings. After hearing the story, Nate was speechless. It was basically a forced sale—classic Phantom Lord S-Class tactics.
"Let's start over..."
Nate removed his left glove, revealing the Fairy Tail guild mark, and extended his hand toward Juvia.
"I'm Nate, a mage from Fairy Tail."
