Loris who was done with his business found that he remembered Jaeon going to a place that could be dangerous for him. 'Should probably catch up with him,' Loris thought after exiting the main gate of the academy. That place was far from the academy. He had to ride a horse-drawn carriage several kilometers to get there. When he arrived in front of a wooden building called an assembly bar, he entered.Loris found Jaeon at a bar, she saw Jaeon in front of a drink similar to beer lined up. "Why are you drinking beer at night?" asked Loris with a frowning expression. Loris said he was very brave especially in a place like this by himself, "You're still a student, drinking in a place full of strangers and gunner profession. Moreover, there are also hunters and prompts here," Loris whispered beside Jaeon. Jaeon chuckled, he chuckled later, but Jaeon said "it's just a cocktail you're so innocent." he said in a mocking tone. Loris approached and didn't smell anything suspicious. "You w
the whole bar became noisy, those who weren't in trouble just watched and whispered to each other."What is this? Why is it so noisy," one of the gunners muttered. The female guard approached the disturbed gunner's table, she smiled, "I'm sorry, an unknown person made a scene with gunner Morne's students and tried to trick them. I'm helping to mediate," the woman said in a whisper. She knew Jaeon, so she wanted to help him, but she didn't want to be conspicuous enough to ruin his bar's reputation. She spoke to a few customers who she knew were familiar faces at his bar. Those who got the information raised their eyebrows, one of them said. "Ah Morne's students? They're such great gunner candidates, how did they get caught up with a con artist?" one of the guards asked. The guard chuckled, a little clumsily, then just nodded and said goodbye.'It's because one of the disciples is so stupid,' he said to himself imagining Jaeon's face like an ass. At Loris's place, one of the swind
When Loris and Jaeon managed to escape, they ran away from the location. many people noticed them and were confused.But they were fooled and started approaching the bar which was more noisy because of the many arguing voices of some adult men. "Loris!" Jaeon shouted out. "Aren't we far away? It's been 20 minutes of running," Jaeon said with a stammer.Loris then slowed her pace, until he stopped running. Loris looked back and saw Jaeon already bent over in exhaustion. Loris, who was panting, was relieved to be out of trouble that shouldn't have happened to them. "We're close to the academy," he added. Jaeon, who had been bent over and breathing heavily, stood up and raised his arms, "Woah!" he exclaimed.All eyes passing by were on them. Loris who sat on the ground due to exhaustion just looked at Jaeon coldly.Jaeon felt the intimidation, "What?" he asked in surprise."Isn't this fun?!" asked Jaeon with an exclamation. His voice boomed and disturbed the pedestrians around him.
"Hey, look what he's doing over there," one whispered and chuckled to his friend. The surrounding friends responded to the joke, "Huh, that's a weird move," one said gruffly. He also ignored the voice until the other friend heard and turned his head.Because many eyes were on Loris, the other friends also paid attention to Loris. Spontaneously, many murmured and chuckled, laughing at Loris' movements. The professor who saw that the class situation was not conducive realized they were not paying close attention to him, so he tried to find the root and beginning of the problem. "Tsk, so rude. But what can it be? He hasn't been to school for three years," one said near the student, staring at him while holding back laughter. The friend turned his head, "Ah well, so it's understandable that he sucks so much," he added.The others laughed at Loris until Zhang turned his head with a frown, 'What exactly are they laughing at?!' he grumbled. Zhang himself was confused because he was to
His friends who heard nodded, and some agreed to it. "But I'm glad to be in this class. I can learn what other gunners in other academics can't. It's just Morne, you know," he boasted.However, some were still enthusiastic because they wanted to know many things despite their lack of knowledge. They agreed with the statement about Morne's bragging. "Okay, did you bring any additional materials?" asked Professor Blacksmith enthusiastically. The other students sighed, making frustrated sounds. "I heard it's not mandatory. Why is he bringing it up now?" asked one of the students in surprise. Jaeon put on a smug face, "of course, prof!" exclaimed Zhang, then unwrapped his sword neatly. All the students except Zhang and Loris, who had already seen it, were surprised and amazed. "Wow, that's a good weapon. Are you sure you'll melt it down and make it into extra materials?" asked the professor, pointing at Jaeon's sword. Jaeon nodded confidently, while another student whispered, "Where
Loris, who came early, sat in class reading his textbook. Some moment, Zhang walked in and stared at Loris' seat. He raised his eyebrows and came up to Loris. "What are you reading?" he asked pleasantly while tapping Loris on the shoulder.Zhang then went to his seat. Loris glanced at him while holding up a small notebook. Ten minutes later, the class started to get crowded. Jaeon also showed his nose. At the front of the class, he stretched his body, groaned, and then sat on the seat near Loris. "Hey, you should know I slept well because I got a good grade in the basic blacksmith class," Jaeon babbled to Loris. He enthusiastically explained his day after the dagger-making exam. Zhang, who saw the commotion, approached him by sitting in the seat next to Jaeon. "Hey, brat, are you bragging about that C to your father? Aren't you afraid of getting killed?" Zhang taunted with a question. Loris choked up while reading and turned to Zhang. He looked at her with a flat face. Loris
The blacksmith student smiled. He remembered the boy genius when he took over his professor's class. But he chose not to reply, "Well, there aren't always students with that kind of advantage, are there," he said calmly. The senior gunner student nodded, "That's right. I heard he used to be a morne student, but due to an incident, he took three years off. When he was on leave, the genius student's position was taken over by his ex-fiancée." The blacksmith student smiled and drank his coffee, "You even listen to such insignificant rumors," he said as he shook off the wind. His friend paused for a moment and then frowned as if he agreed with the criticism. The next day, the entire class of Loris' class roared when they arrived at class. Zhang, the class president, was ordered to announce it. "The exam scores for the past two days have been announced, guys," Zhang said at the front of the class quietly and then put the professor's book deposit on the front desk. "In half an hour
"This time, you will have a test that not only considers shooting attacks but many factors."The voice from the loudspeaker echoed in the field. All the students were already in their ranks. They had prepared their weapons, not only the pistols but also the daggers they had made. Only gunners had such a complex, challenging, and varied set of tests. That was why the blacksmith faculty would not be as complicated as the gunner.As they were standing behind the line, the rules were explained from the loudspeaker"Listen and understand carefully that in the maze, there will be a statue arranged to give out scores when students shoot it." The voice was evident and firm. "Each student has one shot inside the maze. It is also a different situation like you outside. The weather inside has been engineered," he explained. The students looked at each other, including Jaeon and Zhang. "Listen, Zhang, this time I'll make sure you can't match my score," Jaeon said with pride and confidence.
