Jake logged into the game.
He decided not to ditch his classes this time. He believed that he'd be able to give up on his college the second his esport career became profitable. If that were the case, it'd not hurt him to attend a few more classes.
Something interesting may come up during those classes.
That said, nothing peculiar occurred in the college today.
Therefore, Jake was more excited to enter the game and continue his training!
He appeared in Viktor's workplace. For a second, Jake was confused about it.
He recalled most of his time with his friends and how they indulged in alcohol and dishes.
Though Jake's unique constitution had turned shots into wine, the base of each drink still gave him a different taste.
It was a fun time for him.
'Oh, right. I told everyone that I loved them again and wanted them to hear the melody of my soul. It's so cringe-worthy, but I like the sound of it. No one will know about it,' Jake thought. Because of that, I ended up in Viktor's workplace. I shot a few arrows, and that's it, right?'
Jake opened his game system and looked over at the notifications.
It was too early to call it a normal routine, but it would surely become one soon, as Jake could now earn bonus stats from other arches.
His legendary class should notify him when someone from Ethan's group creates their own skill with his blueprint.
For that reason, Jake would often check his notifications from now on.
'Huh? I've learned The Rapid Release Skill?' Jake thought as he stood agape. He clicked on the notification, which unfurled into a wide screen on which Jake could see The Rapid Release's Skill Description.
[The Rapid Release Skill(Epic)(Active Skill)(0 MP): an archer class/subclass skill that allows the user to take arrows from the game system's inventory and immediately nock them for rapid release. It saves time, so an archer doesn't have to reach out for an arrow inside the quiver or inventory.]
Its information was pretty simple.
That said, it was an epic skill, which meant there were weaker versions of it, each with more blatant weaknesses.
Though Jake couldn't see any weakness of this epic version, he wondered what the legendary grade of The Rapid Release Skill would do.
'It takes no mana because it's similar to Master's trick, right?' Jake thought.
It felt beyond pleasant.
'Archery is so damn cool!' Jake thought.
A cold reality echoed behind him, then.
"You used the gift," Viktor said, his arms crossed.
Jake turned around and smiled. "I was drunk... sir."
He even became more formal with Viktor than he should have!
It was something that Viktor hated as it used to remind him of his lineage.
He didn't care much about it nowadays.
"Drunk?" Viktor asked.
Without asking for Jake's explanation, he took him to Master Aaron's workplace.
The old man was currently busy with new projects, which were part of Asta Bow's Household's Comeback Plan!
Their existence was also to help Jake.
"Why are we here?" Jake asked.
Ignoring him, Viktor asked the old man. "Can alcohol bring out the hidden potential?"
Master Aaron side-glanced at the duo and said in a short but sharp voice, "Nani?!"
Jake thought, 'How many weeb players has he met already?'
Viktor narrowed his eyes at the old man.
Aaron coughed and said, "There was an item that my master could only craft when he was drunk. Alcohol is said to be the poison of truth, as it often betrays what's hidden in our hearts! But that's as far as the normal alcohol goes!"
Viktor asked Jake, "What did you drink today?"
Master Aaron chimed in, "He seems sober to me."
Jake rolled his eyes at these two.
