Time passed as the four talked among themselves, and it quickly reached 7:00 a.m. The guild doors opened, admitting an elderly man. He wore an elegant suit and carried a cane as support while walking. All the adventurers fell silent upon seeing this man arrive. It was Arnold Jones, the vice-master and advisor of the freewalker guild.
"Good morning, young adventurers" greeted Arnold, walking toward the center of the guild. "As you may know, the masters had to leave the capital due to a very important mission. That's why today I will be the one to bring you news and share with you information about important advances in adventurer technology."
Upon hearing about advances in adventurer technology, the adventurers couldn't help but get excited, as the latest advancement allowed them to take photos with their cards.
"Okay, let's start with the most basic, but at the same time, the most important thing for the guild" Arnold said, taking a small controller out of his vest and pressing a button. Several screens appeared in the center of the guild, allowing everyone to see clearly. "Mr. Dan, alchemist and developer, has managed, along with his grandson, to further develop the way the guild can rate the status of one of its adventurers and has created this..."
A silver bracer appeared on the screen. Next to it was the typical status window, but this one seemed a bit more developed than the one they normally used; it had much more precision and data on the adventurers.

"As you can see, the status window has been further developed so that adventurers and masters can more accurately see their progress. Although I would like to explain more about this window, the masters and vice-masters believe it will be more fun to explore it for yourselves" Arnold said. Then, he snapped his fingers, and a bracer appeared in front of each adventurer. "With this bracer, it will no longer be necessary to carry your cards, as they are completely obsolete."
The adventurers looked excitedly at the new bracers and without hesitation, they put them on, noting that they were very Light and thin.
"I think you have enough time to explore the bracer later. For now, let's get on with the news" Arnold said, drawing everyone's attention. "The following aren't just improvements to old features, but new features that will aid you on your travels. The first is the video feature. With this feature, you'll be able to record everything around you. This will help you see your mistakes and improve, as well as share your adventures with your comrades or even the entire capital. Another new feature is a communication feature. This feature is still in development, so for now, you'll only be able to communicate with your teammates and guild attendants. As some of you may have already discovered, this feature, called chat, was created from the card's help feature. However, the help feature could only send a brief signal to the guild master."
'Does the card have a help function?' Finn wondered, surprised.
"In the future, we plan to improve this chat to bring more features and freedom to adventurers. And finally, there's the new feature called the forum. Here, the creator will post information about updates and all sorts of details. So, if you don't want to miss anything, it's best to stay tuned for the posts. Without further ado, I'm off. Have a nice day, adventurers" Arnold said, leaving the excited adventurers.
"Wow, these are some improvements..." Cristel said, putting on her armband and opening the status window.
'So this is what Roger create, without a doubt it is a great improvement for adventurers, how much could he improve it?' Finn thought in amazement.

"A big improvement, indeed" Amelia said, looking at Cristel's status window. "It was even able to detect how much succubus blood you have in your body, and now there's a classification for non-elemental magic, like telekinesis."
"I'm more interested in this feature…" Darwin said as he recorded everything around him. 'Now I can record my nights of passion when I find a partner…' he thought.
'I'm happy for Roger's success, but this didn't appear in the novel... did I not travel to the world of the novel but to an alternate world? Or why are more new things coming out now that weren't there before?' Finn thought, seeing the new bracelet. 'There are already too many changes for it to be a coincidence.'
Moving his hand slightly, the bracelet vanished into thin air, and as he focused again, it reappeared on his arm.
"Binding magic, the creator definitely knew what he was doing when he created this bracer. This is a very effective way to keep the bracer out of the way in the middle of a fight" Amelia admired, watching the bracer disappear and reappear.
"The chat function will be very useful on this next mission. To be honest, I'm eager to see how much they can develop this feature" Cristel said, looking at the chat function. 'It's a shame I don't have anyone to talk to… I hope in the next update, we'll be able to add friends or something like that.'
"The Vice Master said there would be more updates, so they're sure would add many more features" Amelia said, confidently.
"Will it be possible to make something like the Lacrima calls the Masters use? That would be incredible for the adventurers" Darwin said, and Cristel nodded in agreement.
"Who knows, maybe they'll even create a new form of communication or entertainment with these devices. Imagine the adventurers sharing their adventures at any time through this…" Finn commented ironically, thinking of the social media that existed in his previous world.
The other three remained silent at the idea of adventurers being able to share their adventures at any time. This would bring much more popularity to adventurers and make civilians more aware of the dangers of being an adventurer.
"They could even make a ranking of who has been the best adventurer for a month or year" Finn said again ironically, but the other three thought it was a great idea.
'They definitely have to add something like that to this device!' Cristel thought. 'This would bring more competition among adventurers and encourage them to take on more quests. I have to tell Grandpa about this idea!'
'Something like this would greatly benefit the adventurers. If everyone could see the effectiveness of each adventurer, employers would be able to choose more wisely who to choose for certain missions' Amelia thought.
'This would bring me more girls...' Darwin thought seriously.
"Anyway, I think I should get my things ready. I don't want to be rushing around on the last day, searching for everything at the last minute" Finn said, standing up from the table.
"You're right. It's better to get ready right away" Darwin affirmed, also standing up.
"In that case, we won't interrupt you. You should prepare well for your mission" Cristel said, and the two nodded as they walked away.
After watching them leave the guild, Cristel turned to look at Amelia, who was still checking the functions of her new bracer, since hers was a little different from an adventurer's.
"Tell me, Amelia, did you really do it with Finn or did you just say it to get him to accept the idea more quickly?" Cristel asked curiously. Although she didn't see it as bad or strange, she juts didn't know if her friend was telling the truth.
"Of course I did it, almost every day, in fact… Finn is a very dear person to me, and you know it, just like Darwin is. They've both helped me so much, and the worst part is they don't even know it" Amelia admitted, and Cristel nodded, then smiled slightly.
"So you won't be upset when we do it, will you?" Cristel asked mischievously, trying to make Amelia jealous.
"Ha, first do it and then let me know" Amelia laughed.
