Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within the military grounds, the sound of bullets being fired can be heard almost every morning and evening as a lot of people started practicing it…
The handgun that Vincent made has been simplified even more but its destructive power remained the same… Of course, if he enhance or even ascended them, they would be a lot stronger that even a Grand Magus's Mana Shield can be destroyed by three bullets!
Well, killing a Grand Magus is still difficult since they can simply cast multiple Mana Shields if they wanted to or even get away from the bullets during that time.
Nevertheless, the fact that it could threaten them was more than enough…
"What's going on?" Terrence, who has been staying in Nidite City, arrived at the training grounds where multiple guns are being fired creating a very intimidating sound to anyone nearby.
Just by the sound itself, it can already be considered a weapon as it can easily scare away Savage Beasts… These Savage Beasts would always have sensitive ears and there was no way they can endure so much ringing in their ears.
Soon, he saw the familiar faces of the Magic Knights training with a pistol.
He didn't find Lar, Ross, and the other Followers of Qheglena as he later learned that they were part of the Barbarian Subjugation Group and were assisting the Sea Race.
"Captain Terrence! You've been away for some time… Come here, we have a new weapon developed by Sir Vincent. Once the other Magic Crafters can make this weapon, everyone will have to train with it and use it in battle." One of the soldiers called out as he showed the weapon to Terrence.
"A new weapon, huh… It doesn't look like a slingshot or a crossbow but it shoots small bullets. Interesting... Is this a weapon from a dungeon's blueprint?" Terrence asked after observing the others who were shooting a wooden dummy.
"Most likely… It looks too weird so it's probably some ancient method of throwing small metals at the enemies." The man answered.
Terrence nodded as he guessed as much since this isn't just a new weapon. This is a new invention. A weapon that has never been seen at all.
He had seen a cane that secretly shoots poison darts or a staff that has a hidden weapon after pulling a trigger but this one seems to be perfect for a small but deadly weapon. It can be hidden inside their clothes and will certainly surprise their enemies.
As long as they know when to use this weapon, they might even be able to kill higher-level Mana Practitioners.
"It seems that Sir Vincent is preparing us for another battle, huh…"
"That's right… For some reason, the Celestials Beings haven't returned yet. I'm worried that something happened to them."
"Celestials Beings? We shouldn't be worried about them, there are Numbered Celestials among their group. If they encountered a problem they can't resolve, there was no way for us to handle it." Terrence replied as he decided to test the new weapon as well.
BEst
As he went to the shooting range, he noticed a few girls who were also trying the weapon. One of them is a new face so he felt a bit curious…
There aren't many young and powerful female practitioners in the city so it was normal that he would take an interest. Based on his instincts, the lady was most likely an Archmage which is an incredible achievement for a young age.
Normally, the Archmages in his eyes were already middle-aged or even with white hair. Only when they managed to become Grand Magus and mutated their mana can they look younger again. Of course, this excludes those who had taken the potion to maintain their appearance.
'I didn't know that another genius has arrived… I wonder where she came from…' Terrence mused as he signaled for one of the magic knights and pointed at the beautiful lady.
"She's from a small clan that was devastated because of war. They have taken refuge in the city. I heard she's the daughter of the Clan Head…" The knight whispered.
Terrence kept it in his mind as he considers introducing himself later on.
For now, he wanted to see whether he has the skills to use the new weapon…
He first confirmed that there are bullets in the magazine before he copied the posture of the others.
Bang!
As soon as he pulled the trigger, he felt a little amount of mana leaving his body… Furthermore, this little amount didn't mean that the attack was weak, it was actually incredibly strong and he felt that it could penetrate an ArcKnight's defense if they weren't careful.
"Whew… That was strong… There's a little recoil but this weapon can even be wielded by a child. As long as they have undergone Mana Baptism, their age wouldn't matter and they'll be able to use this weapon easily. How scary…" Terrence suddenly realized that once mass production has started, it will certainly boost the offensive and defensive forces of the city.
"That's correct, captain… I just hope that the price wouldn't be so expensive… This is only the beta version for us to test… Anyway, you didn't hit the target, Captain…" One of the Knights said and it was heard by the others.
The others laughed at this as it wasn't every day that they can look better than their captain.
"Hmph… I only tried once… Before I empty this magazine, I'll be a sharpshooter…" Terrence said with confidence as he continued shooting the target…

Vincent smiled in his room after reading the feedback from the soldiers and a few 'normal' citizens who had tried the gun…
He needed this kind of feedback to improve the weapon after all.
As a matter of fact, he just finished reading a report coming from Lesley after she tried the handgun. Most of them are positive but there is a suggestion that he really needed.
'I guess I have to make a proper holster… It's a good I was reminded.' Vincent mused as he was too focused on training the other Magic Crafters to make the gun and bullets. He had forgotten about the holster to carry them.
He immediately called for Rufia and Hirtia to design or make a holster since they are the ones who are trained for this…
Bzzt…
After finishing his arrangements, his communication crystal received a connection request from Calidia and he suddenly felt nervous about it. Whenever the people from the Kayser Tower contact him, it is mostly regarding the security of the city or when they are under attack.
As soon as he accepted the connection, he heard Calidia's excited voice…
"A group of Celestials is returning!"
"Great! Can you tell how many are there?" Vincent asked in excitement as he stood up from his chair.
"Ahhh! Wait! They're being chased! We have to activate the City's Barrier!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
