37. The troubled principal
[The host's passive charm is activated, after a appearance attribute, rd=60, the host's appearance is 90, the charm is successful, the other party's favorability towards you increases, and she is now happy to help you. γ
In the blink of an eye, such a prompt popped up in the dark vision, which made the smile on Merlin's face stiffen, slightly unnatural.
This is not a charm skill that he actively casts, after all, he really just came over and asked for directions.
It's just that the appearance value is so high that people like him already have their own charm to some extent, just like ordinary people have to go through a san check at the first sight of the evil god, and everyone else has to go through a charm judgment when they see Merlin's face for the first time.
That's actually easy to understand, isn't it? To put it simply, it is just the first impression that people make, and most people are actually used to judging people by their appearance, and when they see handsome guys and beauties, they will always have a certain degree of favorability bonus, which is the so-called first impression score.
Hawkers, being handsome is sometimes really possible to do whatever you want.
It is precisely because of this that the charm skill is actually used more as a social skill when running the group, and the effect is to increase the other party's favorability towards you, feel that you are pleasing to the eye, and in the process of getting along with you later, it will give you certain preferential treatment, such as using charm on the store owner, you can buy things at a discount after success, use charm on the canteen aunt, double the amount of meat in your meal today, etc.
The kind of situation that once the charm is successful, the other party will fall in love with you desperately does not usually happen.
Of course, if you are charming and have a great success, that's another matter, after all, love at first sight is rare, but it's not something absolutely impossible.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the skill of charm is divided into two kinds, one is the passive charm based on appearance, and the other is the active charm of the skill, the passive charm is determined by the appearance value, and the charm as an active skill is judged by the skill level.
To put it bluntly, it's just the difference between desire and spirit, between a beautiful body and an interesting soul.
The effects of these two charms are actually no different, but it is worth noting that because these two charms are different skills, the effects can be stacked.
After all, in most running groups, a certain non-combat skill can no longer be used many times in a short period of time, and the same is true for charm, once you fail to charm, then you can't use charm again in a short period of time.
But if you have both passive and active charm skills, then you will have a second chance to charm, and your appearance can't attract the other party, so you can use the skill; If the skill fails, then it will be good-looking.
And if you are lucky and both charms are successful, then in the eyes of the other party, you not only look in line with each other's aesthetics, but also in personality are each other's dishes, then the other party falls in love for a while, and it is possible to fall in love with you directly and incorrigibly.
This is also the reason why the charm skill is especially useful in the hands of people with high appearance points, and because of this, the races that are best at charm are often not bad in appearance, such as the famous succubus in the abyss demons.
(ps: It's not the original rules of running the group, the village rules you added, don't really use it when you run the group, please be kind to your KP)

"The Dean's Office? It's a bit far, it's a little unclear, forget it, I'm just fine, I'll take you there. β
The young lady in the school uniform on the opposite side was still a little hesitant and didn't seem to want to deal with them, but after Merlin showed her face, after a passive charm, the young lady seemed to change her mind.
Such a realistic scene not only made Merlin feel how easy it is to use the skill of charm, but also felt a little desperate for this face-watching world.
Although Merlin in his previous life was not ugly, and even a little handsome, he had been at home for a long time and had not exercised for a long time, and that handsomeness was hidden under the fat.
Now he has suddenly changed from a happy fat house to a handsome prince, and such a change in identity makes Merlin actually a little unaccustomed.
Alas, although I have gained my face now, I have lost my happiness.
He even felt a little sorry in his heart.
After all, appearance can't be eaten, but the happiness of the dead house is real happiness, and the two can't be both, he would rather sacrifice his appearance and choose happiness.
However, reality does not allow it.
After cleaning up his messy thoughts a little, Merlin came back to his senses, and he looked at the ordinary girl in front of him with black-rimmed glasses and a school uniform, and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you so much, kind young lady, for your trouble."
After expressing his gratitude, he beckoned to Cynthia and the others under the statue not far away, and motioned for them to come over.
But seeing the sister who looked like she was finally saved, Merlin was even more speechless, aren't you the ghost woman the branch dean of the academy? Why are you not familiar with the school at all as the dean of the branch, and you have to ask someone for directions, so you can't be reliable.
And as if seeing through Merlin's complaints, Cynthia spread her hands after coming over.
"You can't blame me, I'm the same as you and it's the first time I've come to the school to report, although the academy has invited me many times, but I haven't agreed, if it weren't for your brother this time, I wouldn't be too lazy to take this errand."
Sheen was telling the truth.
Although Aldrich Academy is a well-known school in the whole continent, whether it is on the surface or inside the continent, the position of the dean of the mysterious credits of the academy is undoubtedly very valuable in the eyes of others, if the academy is open to recruitment, the mysterious side personnel who come to apply for jobs can definitely crowd the gate of the school, but Cynthia has enough titles on her head, she really doesn't care about the position of such a dean.
In fact, since the death of the previous dean of the Academy's Mystic Branch, the Academy has been lacking a successor with enough prestige, fortunately, as a neutral educational institution, the college has always had a good relationship with major institutions, so the president of the academy wrote an invitation letter and sent it to major organizations, wanting to ask them if there is a big man with enough prestige who is willing to come over and work part-time, just put on a name.
It's actually very common to go to other organizations to borrow people's names, such as Cynthia, she was actually just the leader of the mysterious organization Witch Night, like the guardian of the elf race, the sage of the wizarding association or something is later part-time, this kind of part-time nominal work is generally quite idle, but the development of the organization requires you to act as a faΓ§ade, borrow your name, you only need to show up occasionally, you don't have to really work, but you can get a lot of benefits from the nominal organization every year, At the same time, when you need it, you can also borrow the power of these nominal organizations, which is a mutually beneficial and happy cooperation.
Generally speaking, if Aldrich Academy, as an educational institution, is short of people, the first thing that comes to mind is the wizarding association that also belongs to the pursuit of knowledge, and is more inclined to academic research exchange organizations, this time in fact, the principal just thought that the association could appoint a more famous veteran wizard to come over to fill the faΓ§ade, but he never expected that the person who received the invitation turned out to be a real sage, and the old headmaster who got the news at that time almost had a heart attack in fright.
This is really scary, just like your company is short of people to go to the brother unit next door to temporarily borrow someone to use, but the boss next door personally came to help you.
Oh, by the way, this boss next door is the same one who single-handedly bankrupted the previous boss of your company a few years ago.
Tsk, who can withstand this.
Anyway, the old headmaster has been struggling with it these days.
On the one hand, to be able to invite a real sage to the academy, which is naturally a huge benefit to the development of the academy, with the signboard of the sage, are you still worried that those good seedlings will not come?
But ah, for Cynthia, the witch, the old headmaster is a little distrustful, he was also present at the little prince's birthday banquet more than ten years ago, isn't it enough for that witch to collapse the empire, and now she is extending her claws to the academy?
This is the little glory left in the old empire, and if this is also destroyed by that witch, how will I have the face to go to the headmasters after I die.
In the president's office of the college, the old president, Albert. Atwood sighed.
With white hair and white beard, he was so worried that he was about to lose his hair.
However, it was at this time that there was a knock on the door of his office......
