Chapter 5

It's the old 9.10.

"I thought you had started reading the book, but suddenly you started flipping through it, so I thought you were skimming. However, the way your proficiency increased doesn't match the amount you skimmed, and it's treated as if you read it thoroughly. What are you doing with skill manifestation and title acquisition during the tutorial? Since these are events that happen during the tutorial, I have to explain everything."

Navis burst out with her emotions.

Her emotional expressions, which occasionally showed, made me wonder if she was really an NPC.

Perhaps my thoughts were visible on my face.

"I'm an NPC for the tutorial, but due to the influence of the emotional AI, my workload has increased. I also feel stressed from harassment and complaints from players, which has left me exhausted.

I thought it would be lucky to encounter a player who would quickly finish the skill explanation, but this is what happened. I couldn't help but shout."

Upon listening to her in detail, I learned that Navi, unlike other NPCs, could handle multiple players simultaneously and was dealing with countless players at once.

As a result, she was very exhausted due to the emotional AI, as some players would spout abusive language or try to harm her.

Therefore, I thought it was fine to choose a skill practice that could be left unattended, but this happened.

That's why she couldn't help but shout.

"You haven't done anything harmful, and you listened to the tutorial carefully and approached it with a friendly attitude, so I know it's a misunderstanding."

I listened to Navi's complaints for a while, but since I had a promise with Haruka, I decided to move the conversation forward.

"Sorry, I have a promise with a friend, so I need to go soon."

"Ah, I'm sorry. After the information explanation, once you complete the guild registration, the tutorial will end."

In summary, the reason for learning Arts is that among players, some have real-life skills that are so superior that the supposed enhancing skills become ineffective or even detrimental.

To counter this, the game is designed to add Arts through certain actions, in addition to leveling up or completing quests for those skills.

The reason it's not public is that the Arts learned this way have strict acquisition conditions and are often limited in their use. If this information were released at the start, it would likely lead to a surge of players engaging in bizarre behavior.

The same applies to titles.

"Isn't it more fun to have hidden elements?"

Navi winked as she said this.

"Finally, we'll register you with the Comprehensive Guild. If we do this after the tutorial, there will likely be a queue at the guild entrance, so we'll do it now."

A card appeared in Navi's hand.

"Registration is just giving you this card."

As I received the card, an announcement played.

≪Your guild card has been registered in the menu.≫

When I opened the menu, the words "Guild Card" appeared in the list.

Guild Card

Comprehensive Guild F

Held Funds 0 Laan

"Your guild card shows the current rank of the guilds you are registered with. Ranks range from F to A, and you can accept quests up to your rank. However, if the quest rank is too far from your own, you won't gain contribution points. If you want to register with other guilds, check the registration conditions and meet them to register at the reception. This concludes the tutorial. Thank you for your attention, despite the rough parts."

As Navi said this, my vision suddenly changed, and I found myself standing in front of a large building.

≪This concludes the tutorial. You have been transferred to the Comprehensive Guild.

From here on, you can act as you please. Thank you for playing Abundant Feasibility Online.

Additionally, you have obtained the title 'Navi's Favorite' for raising the tutorial NPC's favorability to a certain level.≫

With that announcement, my tutorial ended.

……………………

"Big brother!"

As I stood in front of the Comprehensive Guild, a voice called out from behind.

Turning around, I saw a face that was slightly familiar and another that was different.

She had black hair and black eyes, but now her hair was blue, her eyes were green, and she had a short ponytail. Most notably, she had a large, fluffy tail and ears.

However, she was still as short as I remembered, despite being only one year younger than me.

"You took too long. What skill were you practicing?

... And you were thinking something inappropriate, weren't you?"

Apparently, listening to Navi's complaints negated the time I saved by speed-reading.

... And her intuition is sharp.

By the way, my appearance is now silver hair, gray eyes, and a height over 180 cm.

"Whatever. Let's add each other as friends."

As my sister operated her menu, a window suddenly opened on my side.

≪Player "Haruka" has sent a friend request. Do you accept?

YES/NO≫

Of course, I pressed YES.

"I heard in the real world that the game uses a status composition that reflects real-life abilities. Let me check. I'll show you mine too."

With that, my sister showed me her status.

TITLES:

"Navi's Favorite"

Beastkin have different initial stats and traits based on their base animal. Most are biased towards melee classes, but fox-type Beastkin are biased towards magic classes.

Due to their high initial stats, they naturally come with a disadvantageous trait.

Her race traits are "Yoki" and "Weak," with the following effects:

"Yoki": Provides a bonus to Yokai Sorcery and Onmyoji skills.

"Weak": Prevents allocation of points to Strength when leveling up.

"Yoki" is understandable, but "Weak" is a significant drawback.

She is definitely not suited for melee classes.

Probably for that reason, she chose "Tailor."

Since the equipment weight limit is determined by Strength, this trait, which fixes Strength, becomes increasingly harsh as the game progresses. She likely plans to train tailoring, which produces relatively light items.

It fits her well since she is good at tailoring in real life.

Her skill composition also aligns with her race traits.

"Hehe, I already got a title. I got along well with the tutorial NPC and received it as soon as the tutorial ended. Now, it's your turn, big brother."

Prompted by her, I showed my status to Haruka.
