chapter 46
Episode 46 – This is a random gacha!
There are three dormitories at Glesius Academy.
One is a commoner-only dormitory that exists for commoner students.
And the other is a noble-only dormitory for nobles and ability users.
Lastly, there was a newly built foreigners-only dormitory recently built for foreign royals, nobles, and ability users.
These three dormitories were divided into areas centered around a circular building in the center.
Therefore, the circular building called the central building was equipped with common convenience facilities used by many students.
So, the central building had a round space in the form of a plaza, and the atrium was an uncomplicated structure even with up to a hundred people passing through it.
But now the atrium of the central building is the most complex and crowded place than ever.
[Pathos Repair Shop Voucher Gacha]
It was because of a single stall installed in the atrium of the central building.

[Pathos Repair Shop Voucher Gacha]
Perhaps, I may be recorded as the first person in this world to apply the gacha system to actual business.
‘Then how about selling a ticket at a low price? However, in order to prevent wealthy people from taking away all opportunities to acquire tickets, obtaining tickets is left entirely up to that person’s luck.’
Proposal from the President.
It was the gacha system.
Of course, Erasto Chronicle also had a gacha system.
As a non-paying user, I also chose a heroine with the goods I earned from doing homework every day.
Introducing the gacha system means reincarnating into a game world that had a gacha system.
I don’t know what kind of nonsense this is, but anyway, I became the first person in the world to introduce a gacha system.
The gacha system has a very simple structure.
People who use the gacha system invest money to obtain the product they want.
However, which product will come out depends entirely on the luck of the individual who invested the goods.
In other words, the investment of goods does not immediately lead to the acquisition of the product one wants.
So, is it okay for me to introduce a gacha system at first? I had a thought.
Isn’t the only thing I can offer right now is ‘repair’?
That means that there are only two products that can be applied to the gacha system that I will introduce.
Win or lose.
Of course, this can be solved by setting the probability of winning to 0.1% And making the chance of losing 99.9%.
‘But if you do that, there’s a high possibility that no one will use it.’
In order to secure funds to live my long and slender life, I need to get people to use my service.
However, the monotonous product composition had the potential to cause people to lose interest.
I decided to include bait products that would act as a buffer between winning and losing.
[Product List]
[1St place – Free equipment inspection voucher: 1%]
[2Nd place – Inspection fee 90% discount coupon: 4%]
[3Rd place – 50% discount coupon for inspection fee: 10%]
[4Th place – 25% discount coupon for inspection fee: 20%]
[5Th place – 10% discount coupon for inspection fee: 30%]
[Boom – Exchange ticket: 35%]
The bait product I added was an inspection fee discount coupon included among the free equipment vouchers.
Although the probability of getting hit is high, there is absolutely no loss in continuously drawing lose.
If you collect 5 exchange coupons given when you draw a loser, you will receive a 10% discount on maintenance costs.
10 Tickets were 25% off, 20 tickets were 50% off, 30 tickets were 90% off, and 50 tickets were free equipment inspection vouchers.
If you look at the exchange voucher system, I may look like a crazy person for money, but you can have equipment repaired without running the random gacha.
The cost of repairing equipment without going through the gacha system is five silver coins, which is equivalent to the price of 50 exchange tickets obtained at a loss.
In other words, the reason I introduced the gacha system was absolutely not to viciously collect money from students.
The purpose is to silence the complaints of those who have no money or time and prevent them from interfering with my peaceful daily life.
As long as the gacha system isn’t too vicious, people will end up doing it anyway.
They even made the ceiling with exchange vouchers, so wouldn’t this be a huge benefit?
All the equipment necessary to implement this gacha system was provided by the president.
He knew that some of the academy students were dissatisfied, and he said he thought it was admirable that I was trying to ease the burden on the academy.
I didn’t mean to do that at all, but anyway, I was grateful that they evaluated my actions favorably.
And I finally opened [Pathos Repair Shop Voucher Gacha].
The opening location was the atrium of the central building located in the center of the three dormitory buildings.
“Huh? Gacha?”
“What is gacha?”
When I set up a stand, students who often entrusted me with equipment came to visit me.
“It is an abbreviation for random drawing.”
“Random drawing? That’s an interesting method. “Can I give it a try?”
I briefly explained to them what gacha was, and one female student who showed interest tried gacha.
The method of running the gacha is simple.
All you have to do is insert ten fairy tales into this ‘random drawing device’ made by the president and turn the handle.
Then, the handle turns and the paper containing the contents is printed.
“Wow! What’s this?”
“This is a piece of paper with the results of the lottery prize written on it. “If you present this paper later, you can receive the benefits of what is written on the paper.”
This paper was treated with magic to prevent deterioration of the written content.
I checked the face of the student who drew the ticket from the random drawing device, that is, the gacha machine.
However, the slightly subtle expression on the female student’s face made it unclear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
“So, what did you pick?”
“It says it’s a free equipment inspection voucher?”
The female student’s choice was first place.
Being number one from the first customer. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
“Congratulations. “You won first place.”
I deliberately shouted loudly so that everyone around me could hear that the first customer had won first place.
“Really? Wow! “First place, first place!”
The female student was very happy that she had picked first place, and at the sound of her voice, students passing by slowly began to show interest in the stall.
“Equipment inspections are carried out on weekends, so please bring your ticket and visit the Pathos repair shop located behind the dormitory.”
For reference, my repair shop recently opened its second branch.
The location of the second branch was behind the dormitory, making it easy for students to access.
In the past, I fixed things in my room, but it was a bit strange to invite people into someone else’s room, so I asked the president to set up a separate place.
After all, it is reassuring to have someone in power at your back.
“Yes! Thank you!”
I sent the first customer away safely by explaining to the girl how to use the ticket.
“Hey, can we do this too?”
“Yes. Regardless of your status, if you insert 10 copper coins and operate the device, prizes will appear based on probability. Even if you lose, if you collect exchange vouchers, you can exchange them for a specific product depending on the quantity you have, so I recommend not throwing away the exchange vouchers.”
After the first customer took first place and left, other students started running the device.
“Ah, what a shame. “I’m in third place.”
“Hey, where is the 50% discount? “It’s a whopping 10%!”
“Hey, hey. Come out. “Let me give it a try too.”
“Hey, this guy is in second place? “You’re so f*cking lucky.”
As the second and third customers won in succession, the front of the stall quickly began to fill with people.
The students, each with their hands full of coins, stood in a line in front of the device and started operating the gacha machine.
“Please! Please! I bet all my money! 1St place, let’s pick 1st place!”
“Damn, I lost all the money I needed to buy food today. “Is there anyone who would like to exchange an exchange voucher for a copper coin?”
There were people who spent all their money to win first place, and people who exchanged vouchers that they lost for money also began to appear.
“It’s a bit rude to do that to our reputation. “Is it possible to request an equipment inspection without doing that?”
“Ah, yes. It’s possible. “The price has gone up a bit due to the Academy’s recommendations. Is that okay?”
“How much is it, but?”
“It rose to five silver coins. “For the sake of fairness, we decided to accept the Academy’s recommendation.”
For reference, the Academy’s recommendation was an excuse for the price increase prepared through a conversation with the president.
The academy is asking me to raise the price, is there anything I can do?
“It’s a small amount of money. “Once I entrusted you with the equipment, I don’t know why, but it helped me train and spar much more than before.”
“hahahaha. “It must be a coincidence.”
The good news is that my main customers, children from wealthy families or high-ranking noble families, consider the cost of five silver coins a small amount of money.
“No. It’s definitely not a coincidence. Strangely enough, it seems like my training goes better when I use the equipment I entrusted to you. No matter how expensive the medicine I take, I can’t feel my skills improving, but the equipment you made makes me feel like my training is going well. In that sense, five silver coins are not an expensive price. Rather, I feel like even five silver coins are not enough.”
“hahahahaha. Thanks for the advice. “You can visit the repair shop in the evening.”
I have heard from customers that their training and sparring goes well when they use the equipment I repaired using my abilities, but it is most likely a placebo effect.
Hey, is it really possible that repairing the equipment with my abilities will help with training?
