"I-I made something this amazing...!?"
Monaka blinked repeatedly, unable to believe what she had created.
"That's incredible, Monaka! You're a once-in-a-decade genius too!"
"No, this is definitely thanks to Teacher Leo-kun!
I enjoy sewing as a hobby, but I've never made anything this well before!"
Monaka fidgeted shyly, holding the patch with both hands and offering it to me with a formal expression.
"So... would you accept this?"
"Eh, is that okay?"
"Y-Yes! I actually made it with the intention of giving it to you... to Leo-kun!"
"In that case, I'll gladly take it.
This patch design is your family's emblem, right?"
"Yes, it's modeled after my family's emblem.
The heart represents the heart itself, and offering it means offering one's heart to that person... Kyaa!"
Monaka quickly covered her face with both hands.
I could not see her expression, but the ears peeking through her long hair were bright red.
...Why do all the girls I talk to end up turning red in the end?
Oh well. I immediately sewed the received patch onto my Wyvern Coat.
Then something even more unbelievable happened.
--------------------------------------------------
**Coat of the Dragon and the Saintess (High Quality - Magic Item)**
**Quantity:** 1
**Quality Level:** 109 (Material Level 80 + Dexterity Bonus 12 + Job Bonus 7 + Quality Bonus 10)
A coat made from Wyvern Leather and Daija Vine Thread.
It boasts higher defense than a normal coat and provides heat and cold resistance.
It contains the pure loving protection of a Saintess.
**Special Effects**
**Capacity Expansion**
The contents of the pockets are expanded tenfold by the wyvern's magic power.
**Weight Negation**
Items placed in the pockets have their weight nullified by the wyvern's magic power.
**Self-Repair**
Damaged areas will repair themselves over time.
**Auto Healing**
Slowly restores the wearer's HP.
--------------------------------------------------
When I appraised the coat with Monaka's patch attached, I forgot to blink.
When combining crafted items, the quality level usually stayed the same or dropped.
I had expected the level to drop after attaching the patch.
Since Monaka had made it with all her heart, I had thought that would be fine anyway, but...
"It went over level 100...!?"
The words slipped out before I could stop them.
The higher the level of equipment or items, the higher their quality.
A level 100 item was far beyond high school level. It surpassed even professionals and reached the realm of royal court artisans.
Crossing level 100 was such a huge barrier that artisans poured blood, sweat, and tears into their work to achieve it.
"Yet I crossed it so easily...!"
I stood frozen in place.
Around me, Monaka bustled about like a new wife, helping me put on the coat.
"Wow, Leo-kun, it looks wonderful on you! You look so cool!"
"Ah... yeah, thanks. This is thanks to you too, Monaka."
"Hehe, I'm the one who should be thanking you! Please keep teaching me lots of things from now on, Teacher Leo-kun!"
Monaka smiled innocently back at me.
Beside her stood Teacher Filafie with eyes full of pleading.
"Um, Leopin-kun...
I don't think there's anything left I can teach you...
But would you please choose my class again...?"
◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
The next class was the general subject "Physical Education."
Everyone had changed into the gym clothes handed out after the entrance ceremony, but since I did not have any, I participated still wearing my coat.
All the female students were in bloomers.
The Saintesses like Monaka, who usually wore robes, were in light athletic wear for once.
When I looked at Monaka in her ponytail and bloomers, she noticed me and waved back with a shy smile.
At that moment, my body began to glow.
"Leveling up from eye candy? As expected of the future Great Saintess."

As I looked over the status window, I noticed something.
"The Versatile Job Change skills increased... and there's one with an unknown name..."
Hoping the details would explain it, I tapped the row of question marks.
--------------------------------------------------
**????????**
One of the hidden abilities of "Versatile Job Change."
The full effect will be revealed after activating the skill multiple times.
--------------------------------------------------
"Could this be a 'hidden skill'...!?"
I had heard about them.
While most job skills were shared, sometimes during level-ups you could obtain a skill whose effect was unknown.
They were all powerful, and once mastered they became reliable weapons.
"I thought something like that would have nothing to do with a jobless person like me..."
I had no idea how to activate the effect, but thinking about it would not help.
I figured I would get hints while being active, so I shifted my attention to the newly added job.
The new job was a combat type.
Since we were about to move our bodies in physical education, it was perfect timing. I decided to switch to it right away.
