In the second week of June 2024 on Monday Early Morning, Rowan woke up naked with a few bite marks and kiss marks on his body because for some reason Elira was wild and very moody, she used Cleanse magic to remove those marks while they both take a bath and head downstairs filled with many students having breakfast wearing their uniforms with different styles and colors. The reason for the various styles and colors is that they are designed for each year level.
On the right side of the uniform, there will be attached patches for each different course or role they took, and the rest of the styles are the Everglow Academy Emblems and Designs. As they finished their breakfast, students headed towards the Transfer Gate and Sector 14 where the Prism Hall is located, while going there they met their siblings as they headed separate ways since they had different subjects and class schedules.
The Sector 14 Prism Halls are divided into three huge buildings: Sector 14 - A is for Preschool and Elementary schools, Sector 14 - B is for Middle School and High Schools, and lastly, Sector 14 - C is for College and Graduating Students who want to continue at Everglow Academy. Rowan's class schedule for the whole morning from Monday to Friday is his Blacksmithing, Crafting, Building, and Management Class; his whole afternoon classes are his regular classes.
He enters the Blacksmith Room Area with the huge door and students entering inside the small realm, as we arrive the instructors who have Blacksmithing and those related to Blacksmithing Class Jobs. The instructors using black board taught them about the "Introduction of Blacksmithing". The first one is "Safety and Equipment Handling", which tells about how they use Proper Tool Use, Safety Procedures, and Workshop Layout.
Rowan took down notes about what the instructor taught them, the next topic is about the "Materials Overview" about the Types of Materials, Properties of Metal, and Heating & Cooling. As a Builder Class Type, Rowan checks his active skill called "Material Conjure" an ability that allows him to instantly conjure basic materials like wood, stone, and metal for small construction projects. Materials are simple but effective. After that blacksmith class ended and he had an hour left for his next class.
Using that one hour, he activates his Material Conjure Active Skill and it produces one wood, Rowan felt that his mana decreased, but because of that skill activation, the skill proficiency increased from 0% -> 100% making his active skill upgraded by 1. Using the Roman Numerals for the upgrade system to signify the proficiency level that makes from this Material Conjure into this Material Conjure (I), since it got upgraded the skill proficiency went back to 0%, but the next upgrade will not directly reach 100% maybe a half percentage of it.
What it upgraded was the cooldown of the Material Conjure (I), from 10 minutes to 9 minutes as the upgrade skill proficiency hits the max level, the skill will either decrease its cooldown, improve the material conjure, decrease the mana cost, or extra special effect during producing materials either get twice the amount or another grade higher than the previous.
While waiting for another 9 minutes to use the Material Conjure and obtain more materials he uses his other skill called "Blueprint Scan" It allows him to generate a visual blueprint of the item or structure the user wants to build, breaking it down into steps. This helps optimize material usage and reduces errors in construction.
Suppose Rowan scans an incomplete blueprint or a simple blueprint without having clear instructions. In that case, this ability will tell him the complete instructions and guidelines without mistakes. Still, it only gives him limited time to use it per 5 minutes of its cooldown and the skill only works with Basic-Level Blueprint or Common-Tier Blueprint. So, he asked one of the students who was the same year level as him or higher to borrow a blueprint, for some reason they were not happy about it but still allowed it.
When Rowan received the blueprint, they gave him a simple and very incomplete blueprint as they smiled at him looking like an amateur. Well, he is an amateur but they have different perspectives of people who are not on the same level as them. Instead of borrowing the blueprint, they just gave it to him and with that, he took it and left the small realm. He went to his next class while activating the Material Conjure, though sometimes despite waiting for 10 minutes for the cooldown the other problem was his mana capacity and it regenerated slowly.
He went to the Crafting Class, Building Class, and Management Class, it the management class he chose his specific what to study, like Resource Allocation, Inventory Management, and related Logistics the reason he chose this because it's related when having Gacha Class Type and it might be helpful for him to understand more. Unlike Rowan's Gacha Class Type which can pull anything if available with his current level, the others don't have this kind of feature for having this kind of type.
Other players who have Gacha-related Class Jobs either have specific summoning types, item types, accessory types, equipment types, and many more. Rowan is the luckiest person to receive this kind of class job and because it's very rare and unique it's also dangerous when people know about this that is the reason why he is hiding such caliber. As the afternoon classes ended, he didn't yet go back to the Everheart Dormitories, because he wanted to craft a piece of equipment and sell it to earn merits.
When he activated his Fate's Pull, the reward was a bundle of resources and it was the perfect timing that he needed the resources to craft the piece of equipment he needed in the blacksmith's small realm. The resources inside the bundle of resources were 10 copper ingots, he needed to smelt this first before making an actual copper dagger. The Fate's Pull upgraded by 1, making the Fate's Pull (I), and what it upgraded decreased the cooldown from 24 hrs to 23 hrs with a new feature that gives resources only.
New Feature for Gacha Class Job:
1. Fate's Pull (I): [Upgraded]
-> Cooldown: 24 hours to 23 hours
-> Skill Proficiency: 100% - [Reset] - 0%
-> Reward Chance: 100% Common Tier [Old]
-> Reward Chance: 95% Common and 5% Uncommon Tier [New]
2. Resource Surge: This feature guarantees that the pull will only summon valuable resources, like rare metals, magical plants, or elemental essences, making it ideal for the user to gather materials for crafting or trade.[New Feature]
-> Cooldown: 12 hours
-> Mana Cost: 5 MP
-> Skill Proficiency: 0%
-> Reward Chance: 100% Common Tier [Current]
Rowan was happy that his Fate's Pull got upgraded with the new feature, which will be useful for his blacksmithing, crafting, and building classes, as resources are mostly needed there. And with that using the Blueprint Scan for the incomplete blueprint for a copper dagger has started, he didn't expect that blacksmithing could decrease his dexterity core stats, but in exchange for that his strength core stats increase per the hammer he can perfectly hit.
But, because he was just a beginner at this the result was expected of himself, he perfectly hammered only 5 times increasing his strength core stats permanently, but due to his lack of dexterity core stats the copper dagger quality was bad, but since it was a very good experience for making this item he felt happy. Unaware that was late already, he rushed to the Everheart Dining Hall, where Elira had been waiting for him for almost an hour and a half. He already knows to make her mood happy, by doing it every night...
