When Celestial Weave opened her eyes again, she found herself in a world of darkness.
Before she could even wonder where she was, the familiar mechanical voice sounded in her ear. "Main mission complete. Calculating rewards."
The next second, a translucent blue screen appeared before her.
[Scenario Mission: The Path of a First-Class Horse Girl]
[Mission Complete]
[Mission Evaluation: A-Rank
Introduction: A horse girl who burned everything to achieve victory. Your undefeated record and tragic end will be deeply engraved in the hearts of all who loved you.]
[A-Rank Evaluation Reward: 5000 SP + Skill Upgrade Scroll]
[Special Item Unlocked]
Staring at the screen that had suddenly filled her vision, she was a bit dazed at first. It took her a moment to start reading the information.
"There was no settlement like this when I completed the initial mission. Is this a reward only for official missions?" It made sense. The difficulty of this scenario mission was much higher than the initial one. Looking back, the stat boosts and infinite retries of the initial mission were very generous.
After confirming, she quietly called out her inventory, wanting to check the rewards from the main mission and the evaluation.
[Skill Awakening Scroll]
[Introduction: A horse girl's experiences can be sublimated into skills. If they can be further improved, perhaps they can be awakened into a Domain. Using this item can raise the rarity of a skill from Blue to Purple, giving it the potential to awaken into a Domain.
Note: "Get out of the way, I pressed the wrong button!" —A certain horse girl who jumped very high said.]
She already knew that skills could be awakened into Domains. She had started to realize it when T.M. Opera O had challenged her. The only thing on her that could be called a prototype of a Domain was her purple skill, Tokyo Rain Swift. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that before she had acquired that skill, her Domain on the panel had been listed as "None." Only after she got it did it change to "Unawakened." The system had hinted at it all along; she just hadn't noticed.
She shook her head, no longer dwelling on it, and turned her attention to the other item.
[Skill Upgrade Scroll]
[Introduction: The rarity of a skill represents the depth of a horse girl's experience. It will not increase unless a special event occurs. Using this item can raise the rarity of a White skill to Blue.
Note: "It's just a scratch." —A certain horse girl catching beetles, brushing leaves from her head.]
Just as she had thought when she saw the similar names, the two items were related. After reading the description, she confirmed her suspicion. This item was basically a mini-version of the Awakening Scroll. But a mini-version had its uses. If she wanted to upgrade a White skill, she couldn't use the Awakening Scroll. Not to mention the waste, the description didn't say the Awakening Scroll could upgrade White skills.
Just then, the system's mechanical prompt sounded again. "Please select the stats to be inherited back into the real world."
If it hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten. She could choose two stats from this scenario to inherit. Compared to her real-world stats, which were mostly D-rank, her stats in the scenario were B-rank. A jump of several levels—the improvement was huge.
Slightly excited, she called out her panel in her mind.
[Horse Girl Training System - Scenario Panel]
Character: Celestial Weave
Speed: B [Elite Level] [Locked]
Stamina: B [Elite Level] [Locked]
Power: B [Elite Level] [Locked]
Guts: A [Legendary Level] [Limit Broken]
Intellect: B [Elite Level] [Locked]
Aptitude: Turf A, Dirt C
Domain: [Demon Blade]
[Effect: When the Domain is activated, the dangerous feeling of a blade at their back will make other horse girls subconsciously avoid you. By sacrificing a certain amount of life force, the Demon Blade will be fully unsheathed, and the Domain's name will change to [Murasame]. At this time, a scorching heat wave will surge across the track, and the stamina consumption of all horse girls on the track will be doubled.]
Skills: Concentration (Blue)
Phoenix Fire (White)
[Effect: The reward for breaking one's limits. Slightly recovers stamina when reaching the limit.]
Endurance (White)
[Effect: The pain endured during the continuous training and races before the Satsuki Sho, sublimated into a skill. Slightly increases tolerance to pain and injury.]
Looking at the now much larger stat panel, she carefully read every new word. She had already tested the effect of her Domain in the Satsuki Sho. The two new skills, Phoenix Fire and Endurance, must have also been sublimated during that race. Without the boosts they provided, her victory might have been even more uncertain.
Now, besides inheriting stats, she had another problem: how to use the items. The Awakening Scroll was definitely for Concentration. But what about the Upgrade Scroll? Both Endurance and Phoenix Fire seemed useful. She really didn't know which one would give her the most benefit.
As she was struggling with this, the system's mechanical prompt sounded again. "Please select the stats to be inherited back into the real world."
Even though the tone was still cold and emotionless, she somehow sensed a hint of urgency. Putting her dilemma aside for now, she looked at the panel and said to the system, "I choose to inherit Guts and Speed."
As her highest stat, there was no question about choosing Guts. The reason she chose Speed was because of the reward she had received for completing the second phase objective. The item that could accelerate both stamina and power training might not have been very useful then, but it would be a huge help now. She could use it to reach her limits faster. There was no such convenient item for Speed.
After considering these factors, she made her choice. After she spoke, the system panel flickered but didn't change. It seemed she would only feel the change after returning to reality.
Just as she was about to use the Skill Awakening Scroll on Concentration, the system sounded another prompt. "Entering the future of the scenario world."
Before she could react to what that meant, her vision went black and she lost consciousness again.
