18 First Reward (2/2)

Thanking the heavens for the light traffic, Ensen arrived home not too long later. Grabbing his bag out of the passenger seat, he began to make his way inside. Quickly approaching the elevator, he rode it up and unlocked the front door. Luckily he managed to not run into Kaitlin.

While he was curious about her and wanted to talk to her again, he simply didn't have the energy now.

Taking his shoes off and jacket, Ensen decided to take a long hot shower before opening his reward from the mission and checking his phone. Quickly grabbing his comfiest pair of pajamas', he took his clothes and threw them into his laundry basket.

After the shower, Ensen held in the temptation of jumping into bed, as he knew that if he laid in bed he would be asleep in a matter of seconds.

Deciding to head towards his slightly uncomfortable couch instead, he quickly sat down and looked at the rewards again.

[One EP][Random item/skill (Can be opened whenever user wishes)]

Happy with his rewards, he celebrated the addition of one more education point. He wasn't sure how much the single point was worth as he had not seen any of the shop functions for them yet, but either way he wouldn't deny gaining another one.

Curious about what he would get from the item/skill drop, Ensen slowly tapped on the reward. A large circle appeared before his eyes, the circle was divided into many sections with an image on each section. There were piano's, tennis rackets, buildings and countless other images in his view.

Overwhelmed by all the options, Ensen slowly tapped his finger on the circle thinking it would do something. Answering his touch, the circle began spinning rapidly not slowing down.

Ensen was rather confused by this. He had never really gambled before so he was unsure of what was happening. Looking at the circle with a puzzled expression, he noticed that it began to gradually slow down. After about 30 seconds, the circle began to come to a halt with a small pointer aiming at what seemed to be a pen writing on a piece of paper. Although Ensen was unsure what that meant, he was fine with having that.

But, the circle inched further and further while coming to a full stop, slowing moving towards the following section before coming to a full stop. The image for this section was a large black piano with music notes all around it. There seemed to be a rather young girl playing the piano.

Noticing the image, Ensen was unsure if it was a skill or item, but he welcomed it whole-heartedly.

[Item acquired: Paradigm Piano]

[Paradigm Piano]

[The Paradigm Piano works with the user to accelerate their learning process on many areas with the piano as long as it is nearby. Usage of the piano will allow users to experience the growth of their piano skills by an extra 20%.]

[Requirements: Must be infused into a pre-existing piano]

Intrigued by the rather impressive description of the object, Ensen thought of something that confused him.

'I thought you said you couldn't make anything of out nothing system. But even if it is using an existing piano, wouldn't it add more to it?' Ensen thought in confusion.

[The physical object itself, the piano is unchanged. The only part that is actually changed is the soul of the object. The Paradigm Piano is a soul object that will be infused into the piano object, allowing for the effects to be hidden from eyes and bypass the restrictions laid down by the universe.]

'Oh I see.' Ensen responded while in deep thought. After thinking for a while, he wanted to break into tears. His bank account was already feeling the stress, combined with an expensive piano it would hurt even more. While he could just purchase a cheap piano, he didn't know if the soul could be transferred to another piano once his Academy began to take off.

Plus, with the Paradigm Piano and the textbook that held the piano skill from earlier he knew that he would be prioritizing using the piano to develop his Academy's fame, for the near future at least.

'So I need to buy an expensive piano too!' He screamed in his mind.
