While they are talking, Jaeon closed his eyes while leaning on the pool's edge."Have you had your head examined?" asked Zhang sternly. Loris just grinned and chuckled."Yeah, it looks like you're starting to look out of your mind." Zhang chided."Just ignore him, Loris. Don't be provoked. Look, yes, the only thing you should avoid showing your anger is the professor right now. They can sense my presence. And when that happens, they'll discover you're different from the average gunner." Said the Eye. "A gunner is usually just a gunner, even the greatest gunner, but you are different! You also have the ancestral blood of a blacksmith," the eye explained carefully. Loris then turned his face to the right without Jaeon and Zhang seeing. He frowned when he heard the Eye explain. "He must be searching for you endlessly." He said again. An hour later, Loris was already at the dormitory. Loris returned to her room, and someone handed her a letter just as she opened the door."It just so
Loris and his classmates were now in the workshop accompanied by a blacksmith professor. "Well, welcome to the blacksmith's workshop." A new professor who came from behind said coldly. He walked expressionlessly and didn't want anyone in front of him in his workplace. Although they were under the department of Gunner, the blacksmiths had high self-esteem. They don't like to be underestimated, especially the gunners.And this happens in academia as well. They made a huge wall so their students would not get too mixed up, or at least that trait was passed down from generation to generation. "I have heard the request from Professor Carlassia," he said as he walked from the back to the front.Even though they were in separate departments and areas, blacksmiths did not like gunners and swordsmen approaching their departments except for very important matters."There's no need for pleasantries anymore. Because we will only meet in this one class for some time." The professor explained c
Two weeks later, they were already starting to enter the day where they practiced making their weapons. The scaly sound of discussion came from a different room. The room was filled with the gunners of Loris's class, the 80th.The 78th and 79th Blacksmith students entered the workshop room. Some who didn't know were surprised. "Why is it so crowded here? Who are they?" A blacksmith from class 78 approached. He was a genius student and Farley's assistant. "Relax, they're the 80th batch gunners who will be using this room to practice making their first daggers," he said in a half-whisper. "We're still waiting for Professor Farley to start this class," he added. Larry's friend gaped at that. He then left because he knew it was none of his business. "It's troublesome to share a room with an amateur gunner," he admonished. 'Jaeon, who heard that, chirped back, "They're a department below us! Why act like they're in charge?!" Larry then came closer to Jaeon, and just as he wanted to p
Zhang looked at Jaeon with his trademark smirk when boasting about himself. He then walked behind the senior Blacksmith and waited for his reaction. The senior just nodded, "That's fine," He turned around and left. "It can count as a dagger as long as it's a solid object and can tear things even if it's just paper," he quipped as he walked away. Zhang then looked at Jaeon arrogantly, "How is it?"What are you doing?" he asked pretentiously. Jaeon brushed off the wind, "Just shut up!" he snapped back. Larry approached and intervened by walking past the two of them, "Although you make better than this boy, yours is not very neat. Watch how you shape it!" said Larry later.If it's about the iron, he becomes assertive. It was a drastic change. While he was babbling, some students started to babble and complain. "Senior, what about mine?" asked one of the gunner students, who had a pitiable face. His face was covered with black residue from the burning coals a
The noisy Jaeon who started accusing Loris made Loris uncomfortable. "Seriously, she's hiding this big thing and still acting innocent, huh?" Loris grumbled. He still pointed at the woman and started holding her arm."Huh?" the woman made a surprised sound, "What is this? What does this mean?" the woman asked back nervously.But instead of answering, Jaeon laughed, "fufufu, Loris! Come here!" he commanded. "I found your stash!" he taunted again in a loud, shouting voice.On the other side of the wall, Jaeon pointed at the woman, "Who are you? You're the one Loris is hiding!" he said forcefully to the woman.The woman who was crouching then got up, she was originally looking down when Jaeon pulled her arm, "What did you say?!" he bluffed. The woman shook off the wind in front of her, "Be quiet! What are you trying to hide!" he snapped.She tried to defend herself. She tried to swat away Jaeon's hand, but it was too slippery because of the sweat that was pouring out of her body when she
Hearing The eye's explanation, Loris became quiet. He stepped slowly and more cautiously.'If that's all true, then that woman is dangerous.' Loris said as she stared straight with dark eyes."I know what you're thinking," the eye replied.Loris broke her reverie again, "Yes, however if it's not clear how strong she is, then it's better not to deal with her." Loris added.They both agreed that they should keep a close eye on each other.The eye was clearly behaving like that to keep his whereabouts unknown and to keep Loris in hiding."Yes," Loris said. "We have to be aware of our surroundings, and you have to make sure no one around me can detect you before you come out," Loris ordered.The eye agreed to that.The next day, in mixed class. Jaeon came in late, he saw Loris in front of his eyes."Hey!" she greeted while tapping Loris on the shoulder. Loris also arrived a little later than usual, he then saw her and started glancing around.She then saw an empty seat next to Jaeon and
The two of them were still in the room, now filled with a tense atmosphere. Loris, standing next to the drawer full of heirlooms, was silent, calmly waiting for the professor's reaction. Even so, Loris hoped that his request would be granted. He looked back at an old dagger that looked dull and full of rust. "Despite looking old, he has a decent amount of mana left," the eye explained. But the professor was unexpected, and after saying that, he fell silent while leaning his body on his desk. Professor put one hand on his chin, "hmm? How so?" he muttered. he then looked at Loris. "But why would a student have such an unusual heirloom?" the professor asked in surprise. "She's useless and just a display piece for collectors." He added. The professor, leaning back, now sat back in his chair. He then looked at Loris and motioned for her to sit on the guest chair. Professor smiled kindly until his eyes narrowed. He sat with his legs folded gracefully, facing Loris. Loris looked at th
The three of them spent the night together, eating snacks, playing cards, showing off their little magic skills, and drinking their first beer.Loris woke up early, lying against the wall. He then looked back to find Jaeon lying on his back, making loud noises. Loris frowned, "Why is that boy snoring so loudly?" Loris made a slight murmur. The eye appeared, "Ah you woke up late, didn't you?" he quipped.Loris squinted, staring ahead reluctantly. He then looked at Zhang, who was still sleeping with his back to Jaeon. "Ah shit, what time is it?" Loris looked for his jacket and started pulling his watch from his pocket. Instantly, Loris' eyebrows rose, and began to stare in surprise.His forehead wrinkled. He then got up and started picking up the trash around him. Loris picked it up and put it in the garbage bag. Loris also picked up Jaeon's clothes by the door, "Huh?" Loris made a startled sound. He then turned around and found that Jaeon was indeed only wearing a sleeveless t-shi
