It's been two months now since Jaune received Arifar from the Gacha. Every time Jaune stores Arifar in the Inventory, he feels that a part of him is missing. He hated storing Arifar in the Inventory, but he had no choice since his parents would take it away from him if they saw it.
For the past two months, Jaune has been training his body since he couldn't learn any sword technique at the moment. Jaune learned that (Training Sword – Uncommon) was an amazing item. When Jaune activated the card, he was met with a simple broad sword. However, the moment he touched it, it transformed into a wooden version of Arifar. Unfortunately, the item was not able to copy the abilities of Arifar. Nonetheless, Jaune was happy.
For the past two months, Jaune never once missed a Gacha spin.
Trash – 40
Common – 18
Legendary – 1
Summon – 1
Again, trash was trash. Nothing noteworthy.
For Common, Jaune got nineteen clothing items. Jaune didn't even bother checking out the clothing that he got since he knew they weren't special in any way and were everyday items.
For Legendary, Jaune jumped with joy. He got (Training Room – Legendary). Whenever Jaune activates the card, he is transported to a personal training room. All equipment that he could use for training is available for use. In Jaune's mind, he praised the Ultimate Gacha System. It indeed deserved to have the word Ultimate in its name.
Lastly, for the Summon, Jaune was astounded at the card that he received. Unfortunately, Jaune looked at the item and realised something. (Arthur Pendragon – Summon – Limited time: 1 Month). Jaune got this item two months ago and never used it. But now that he got (Training Room – Legendary), he can finally summon Arthur Pendragon and ask him if he is willing to help Jaune train with a sword. However, Jaune didn't know if the Summon would reject his offer or not.
Within Jaune's new (Training Room – Legendary), he was holding the card of Arthur Pendragon. One month, that's all the time his summon can stay with him. Without waiting for another second, Jaune activated the card.
A bright light emerged from the card. It was so bright that Jaune had to cover his eyes lest he was willing to become blind. As soon as the light receded, Jaune saw a man standing in front of him. The person was wearing knight armour.
"Hello, master," Arthur said. "You don't have to explain anything to me. I received all the information I needed the moment you summoned me. It's quite intriguing that you have something that can summon me without any form of ritual. So? What can I do for you, master?".
"Uhm…" Jaune couldn't say anything. Arthur looked at him dead in the eye. It took Jaune a few moments before he gained the courage to say what he wanted to say. "I would like to know if you are willing to train me?".
"If that is what you want, then that's what I'll do," Arthur said. "However, once we start training, I don't want to hear any complaints. The moment you make a single complaint, I will stop training you. The moment you slack of your training, I will stop training you. If that's acceptable for you, then I'm willing to train you".
"I understand," Jaune said. Then with conviction, he continued. "I accept all the conditions you've said. I won't complain no matter how hard the training may be, and I promise I won't slack off. And an Arc never goes back on his words".
Arthur smiled at Jaune.
For the first day of training, Arthur asked Jaune to swing the sword a thousand times. However, by the second day, Arthur realised something about (Training Room – Legendary), those inside are incapable of dying. With that, Arthur changed his training with Jaune. Rather than training normally, Arthur believed that since no one inside the training room could die, trial by fire is better.
For one month, Jaune and Arthur would spar. Arthur would hold nothing back. With this training method, Jaune learned the basics of using a sword. Heck, Jaune was even able to push Arthur back once in a while. Unfortunately, no matter how effective Jaune's training was, a month is not enough to learn more than the basics.
After the one month of training, Jaune bade Arthur farewell as he dissipated into particles of light. Again, within those one month, Jaune never missed a Gacha spin.
Trash – 15
Common – 4
Epic – 1
Jaune hasn't looked at any of the items he got in the past month since he was busy training with Arthur, cooking food for the family and doing chores in the house.
"Seems like my luck is getting worse," Jaune said. "Then again, I guess it is normal to not get a lot of Legendary items. Getting an epic item is great already. I shouldn't get greedy".
The Common items that Jaune got were once again clothing. Nothing noteworthy. However, the Epic item that Jaune got is quite something. (Aura Enhancement Pill – Epic), the pill can enhance the Aura of people who have unlocked their Aura. However, the pill is best used by people that haven't unlocked their Aura as the pill would unlock said person's Aura and the enhancing effect would be doubled.
"Aura? Something I've never heard of," Jaune said. "I should check the web about this Aura thing. Maybe I'll find something about it. Then again, I might not find anything since the items that I've received so far from the Gacha isn't something that can be found here on Remnant. I suspect they are from the so-called Infinite Reality that the system is talking about".
"Well, it wouldn't hurt to research about something," Jaune said. He then got up from his bed and reached for his scroll. He then started searching about Aura. "Holy Oum! I didn't know that Huntsman and Huntresses use Aura. Whoa! They have something akin to a force field around their body! That's so cool! And it can heal!".
After reading the information he could get about Aura, Jaune left his bed and headed to his shed before entering (Training Room – Legendary). He then took out the (Aura Enhancing Pill – Epic). Without hesitation, Jaune ate the pill. Soon enough, Jaune glowed white due to his awakened Aura. He felt immense energy from within, then he smiled. While he was celebrating, Jaune received a message from the system.
[Due to user gaining Aura (Divine Sword Knowledge – God) can now be integrated semi-safely. With the user's Aura Healing, the chance of death when integrating with (Divine Sword Knowledge – God) is negated. However, during the integration process, the user will feel immense pain. Does the user want to integrate?]
"Ha-ha-ha! Finally! I can finally integrate with (Divine Sword Knowledge – God)!" Jaune shouted without restraint. "No pain! No gain! Besides, I've already felt what it's like to get stabbed, slashed and blown to bits multiple times thanks to Arthur's training. Confirm integration!".
[(Divine Sword Knowledge – God) integration in progress. User is being kicked out of the (Training Room – Legendary)]
Jaune's head was filled with so much knowledge that it felt like his brain was being pulled apart. But no matter how painful, Jaune never once let out a scream of pain. The integration continued for the next hour. During the entire integration process, Jaune's Aura worked overtime to ensure that he didn't die from the pain. After the integration was over, Jaune passed out from the pain. He won't be waking up until the following day.
Later that night, Jaune's family was worried sick about him since they couldn't find him anywhere. They checked the whole house, but they still couldn't find Jaune. Thankfully, when Noah checked the shed, he found Jaune, 'sleeping'. He didn't try to wake Jaune up. Instead, he carried his son and brought him to his room.
Just like that, another three months have gone by. Today was Jaune's thirteenth birthday. He was celebrating it with his family. They were currently in a water park having fun. At the end of the day, went Jaune got back home, he received a message from the system.
[Happy Birthday to the user! As a gift, the system is giving a one-time spin, with Legendary being the lowest acquirable item. Unfortunately, since the user has been the host of the Ultimate Gacha for less than a year, the maximum rarity the user can get is limited to Legendary. However, the user may also store the gift to be used the following year with a second spin. This is only a one-time offer. Will the user use the spin now? Or is the user willing to save his spin for the next year?]
"This can be a good thing since I haven't gotten anything from the Gacha but Trash and Common items," Jaune said. "But it would be great to have two spins where Legendary is the lowest I could get. Can you imagine, two tries at getting God rarity…System, I think I'll save the spin for next year".
[Understood. Gift Spin will be frozen until the next birthday of the user]
"By the way, system," Jaune said. "Do you have a name? I don't like calling you just system".
[I do not have a name. User may set a name for me if he wishes]
"Good, from now on, I'll call you Alice!" Jaune said. "And can you stop calling me user?".
[What would the user wish to be called?]
"Please call me Jaune," Jaune replied. "I don't like being called user".
[From now on, I shall be called Alice. And Alice shall call the user as Jaune]
"Thank you," Jaune said. "I like being called by my name rather than user".
The following day, Jaune was staring at the item that he got from the Gacha. His shock was immeasurable. (Sword Talent – God). Jaune didn't even know that he could get talent in the Gacha.
