Miyauchi Hikage held Shiina Mashiro's Job Soul Crystal in his hand, observing it carefully. This thing was the core item of the Pictomancer class.
It not only recorded the dozens of skill imprints of this profession and how to use them, but it could also be used as an external magical organ. As long as Shiina Mashiro wore it on her body, she could freely use this Soul Crystal to absorb and control the magic power in the atmosphere for her own use.
Of course, Shiina Mashiro, who had just completed the class change, could only use the most basic RGB (Red, Green, Blue) magic for now.
Moreover, this Soul Crystal had already recognized Shiina Mashiro as its master. Even if others got hold of this thing, they couldn't use it to change their class to a new Pictomancer.
Even though Miyauchi Hikage had Projection magic, the projected copy also belonged exclusively to Shiina Mashiro. With Miyauchi Hikage's current research on souls, he obviously couldn't break this link yet.
After studying it for a while, he returned the Soul Crystal to Shiina Mashiro and planned to put a seal on her later. He would seal the Soul Crystal directly inside Shiina Mashiro's body, just like a Jinchuriki. When needed, she could draw power directly from the Soul Crystal inside her body, and she wouldn't have to worry about accidentally losing it.
"I'll show these projected copies to Tohru later and see if she can untie the contract on them."
The Pictomancer class had a high floor and a not-so-low ceiling. Miyauchi Hikage didn't expect a normal Pictomancer to be able to fight BOSSes all the way to the edge of the universe like the Warrior of Light.
Other users certainly wouldn't be like Shiina Mashiro, having a complete set of class templates plus graduation equipment. It was a sure thing that Shiina Mashiro could reach the special-grade level.
But if this thing could stably mass-produce Grade 1 supernatural beings, the influence would be completely different.
Moreover, this thing didn't have too many restrictions. Characters in the Final Fantasy worldview basically just needed to get the corresponding job's Soul Crystal to switch classes however they wanted; it could be said to be plug-and-play.
Miyauchi Hikage had already thought it through. Once he cracked this thing, he would send a copy to his younger sister first.
Renge liked to draw usually, and she didn't lack imagination.
Letting her become a Pictomancer was much better than being stared at by that group of monks.
Even Miyauchi Hikage had some ideas about the Pictomancer profession.
Although his Unlimited Blade Works had replenished its inventory with Jujutsu High's stock, there were still too few high-end weapons.
If he could draw those weapons from the anime of his previous life first, even if they could only last for a few seconds, he could find a way to analyze them and then try to project them.
He could even try to make the gadgets of a certain blue cat robot. After all, the most important thing for the Pictomancer profession was imagination. What if he could really make some gadgets that didn't involve rules but were particularly useful?
Most importantly, he held the crucial control rights over these projected Soul Crystals.
Even if any Pictomancer had other ideas in the future, as long as he canceled the projection, those people could at most use some low-level magic relying on themselves, so there was no need to worry about them causing trouble.
However, the first step was to erase the mark regarding Shiina Mashiro on the copy of the Soul Crystal.
Miyauchi Hikage had already planned it out. If Tohru couldn't handle it, then he would have to find a way to summon the Heroic Spirit Medea and borrow the Rule Breaker in her hand that could annul contracts.
Because Shiina Mashiro obtained such a useful class template, the other reward she obtained—the legendary kitchen utensil Garuda Knife from a certain gourmet anime that could purify ingredients—didn't have much presence.
After Miyauchi Hikage registered it in the compendium of Unlimited Blade Works, he transferred it to Shiina Mahiru. In the future, if Tohru brought back any poisonous ingredients from the other world, it could be used to process them.
"Since Shinomiya Kaguya asked, just tell her part of the rewards you obtained."
Shinomiya Kaguya obtained Fubuki's Psychokinesis, which could reach Grade 1 level as soon as she got the hang of it. Gokou Ruri obtained Ayaka Sajyou's Elemental Conversion Magic. Although the conditions for using it were troublesome, the effect should be considerable. He believed that Gokou Ruri, a chuunibyou, would like this set of rituals and processes.
In comparison, the RGB magic that Shiina Mashiro could use currently—strictly speaking, Fire representing red, Aero representing green, and Water representing blue—required drawing the corresponding patterns with a brush and magic power before fighting. It indeed didn't look very powerful, and naturally couldn't compare with Shinomiya Kaguya for the time being.
Considering Shinomiya Kaguya's recent performance, let her be happy for a while first.
Miyauchi Hikage roughly looked at the chat group. There were five girls who explained their rewards, and there should be a few girls who hid the rewards they obtained.
After all, he received a notification from the diary. In this commission activity, a total of nine people guessed Morioh Town correctly. Even including Shiina Mashiro, there were still three girls who didn't state their rewards in the group.
It should be those girls who didn't like to talk in the chat group.
There were about 20 people in the chat group now, but there were always some who didn't chat much in the group usually. Moreover, there were many people in it who were female characters he didn't have much impression of; they should be characters from new anime that came out after he transmigrated.
Those who didn't speak, like Miyano Shiho—after reuniting with her sister, she had connected with Conan's side. Now with Shinomiya Kaguya's support, she drew a few tubes of Conan's blood from time to time and buried herself in the research institute all day, having no time to chat in the group.
As for those he didn't know, perhaps because he had never mentioned them in the diary and they used online aliases, Miyauchi Hikage could only rely on Name Magic to know the addresses and names of a few of them located in Tokyo.
One was Ayase Saki, and the other was Matsushita Ayami. Miyauchi Hikage had investigated their situations a little through the network and Jerry. One was a daughter raised by a single mother working as a bartender. The other's biological father died accidentally in the second year of middle school, and her mother remarried but found an abusive scumbag; her current family situation was hard to describe.
In short, perhaps due to family and personal personality reasons, except for saying a few words when joining the group, these girls only posted the manga they received in the group when Jerry distributed manga that time.
Judging from the feedback of Name Magic and Wonder of U, these two girls seemed to have obtained good rewards. He would let Shadow Yuuko go and take a peek later.
Even if it couldn't compare to the class template drawn by Shiina Mashiro, it should be able to bring significant changes to their lives.
Miyauchi Hikage now wanted to start building his own supernatural force bit by bit. Since these two relatively "withdrawn" girls in the group obtained rewards, they were officially included in Miyauchi Hikage's consideration range.
But now, he had to figure out how to make Tohru work for him.
(Author's Note: Added two new characters. One is the heroine of "Days with My Stepsister" (Gimai Seikatsu), and the other is the second female lead of Maruto's new work "It's Too Late to Say I've Fallen for My Childhood Friend" (Matsushita Ayami). I will post the list of 20 group members and their details in a few days.)
