Novel Bin Chapter 217 - A Ranger Dreaming Of Becoming Magical Girl
"Right, you do know about games? Especially roleplaying games? You knew? Then that makes the explanation easier for me. You see this ordinary looking blue card in my hand? Just think of this card as something that will turn you into a player like the character in the game. You can level up by killing monster and gaining experience. And if you\'re lucky, you might earned a skill or two."
Ria calmly explained the little details about the awakening card and it\'s usages. The moment the younger girl in front of her heard of everything, Ria can see her eyes shines brightly with flashes of light. \'this is...why am I feeling deja vu looking at this girl?\' so she thoughts. And as expected, she immediately understood what she felt at that moment when Yuna opened her mouth.
"Then can I be a magical girl too?! Can I throw fireball by chanting magical words and with the use of wand?! Can I also fly in the sky on a broom?! Can I?! I can, right?!" The girl excitedly inquired Ria with her face leaning uncomfortably close to the latter\'s face. The corners of her mouth twitched, Ria couldn\'t help but thought that she has to babysit another idiot other than Sheila. The thought alone gives her a sense of despair from the fate she couldn\'t escape. What did the past her do to be cursed this badly in her current life?
She sighed, "That depends on your class. If your class is magician, then congrats. But if it\'s something else, the chance of your dream coming true will depends on how much effort you put in your training. Otherwise, dream on."
Knowing Sheila, the latter probably wouldn\'t mind if she were to gift something to Yuna as a reward for her hardwork. Of course she would have to let her her know first before that. Anyway, she doesn\'t have to be worried about it since that\'s for the future.
"Yes, I\'ll work hard!" Yuna replied with enthusiasm. Ria nodded her head with a complex look on her face before offering the latter a normal looking card. Yuna took it with confusion clearly expressed on her face. And before she could question Ria, she feel something within her undergoing huge changes which turned her eyes vacant as if her soul has left her body out of pure shock.
After all, something out of a game suddenly showed up in front of her eyes. It was the status interface that usually appeared in a role-play game.

"Ranger..." Yuna mumbles softly to herself upon seeing her class below the level as the disappointment hits her. The reason why she was hoping to be a mage isn\'t simply because it was cool to conjure fire out of nothing, she preferred long-range rather than fighting at the front with her life on the line. In essence, it wasn\'t bad that she got a ranger class as that also fits her preference.
She should be happy at how lucky she is. But deep down, Yuna couldn\'t help but feel disappointed.
Ever since she saw many magical tricks performed by Sheila, it was then that a bud of desire started growing within her.
Understanding the look on the latter\'s face, Ria smiles and say, "Just because you\'re a ranger doesn\'t mean you can\'t conjure any spell, no."
Upon hearing her words, Yuna slowly looked up as a faint of hope appeared in her eyes staring dagger at Ria with a clear intent of wanting to know more.
"Look at me for example; I can\'t learn shapeshifter skill book due to class difference, but there\'s still item that can help me with that," Yuna then noticed the skin on Ria\'s cheeks wriggles for a moment until it eventually stopped when the latter\'s face had transformed identical to that of Sheila\'s appearance.
"H-How?" Yuna\'s jaw dropped at the transformation she had just witnessed. Though conjuring a ball of fire out of nothing is what one would think when one speaks about magic, the appearance transforming trick Ria had just done is also considered magical enough in her opinion.
Smiling, Ria\'s face return to normal in a matter of seconds before she pulled off what Yuna considered her own skins which caused the latter to turned her eyes away in disbelief as she exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"
She then hear a laughter and a voice telling her to look back, and that it was just a joke to scares her. Though she has her doubt, she slowly open her eyes. To her surprise, there wasn\'t any gore as she expected. Ria were still calmly smiling at her. In her hands however, there\'s now a white face mask that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"This is the mystical item I was talking about. If you put this on your face, you can change into anyone appearances. No matter the genders or ages, of course so long as it isn\'t beyond the limit like wanting to have cat ears or devil horns, everything\'s fine. Oh! Elf ears is fine." To prove her point, Ria quickly put on the mask to her face, and changes her face to Yuna this time. It all happened in just a few short seconds.
"I got this from Sheila."
From that words alone, Yuna understand clearly what Ria was trying to tell her. If the mask could do something like that, there might be other items on the same or even higher level that can do even more amazing thing. Maybe Sheila also has a legendary hammer with the ability to launch a lightning strike, or even a trident that turned one into the King of Sea just by possessing it.
In short, even if she\'s a ranger, she still can be a magical girl if she has a magical wand that can transform her into a magical girl like in the anime.
"I know what you\'re thinking. But it won\'t be anytime soon. First, you gotta learn more about the Trial Tower and the other important rules lest you might die without knowing of the reason. Don\'t worry. If you saved up enough golds, perhaps you can fulfill your dream earlier than estimate. Ah, you can only get gold from slaying the monster in the Trial Tower, and by that," She then point her finger below, "I mean here, this is where you train and kill monsters."
"Welcome to the other side of the world."
