Becoming an Academy Cowboy

After the match is over, my rank rises slightly.

From 1111th to 1012th. It was because I beat opponents who were ranked higher than me, and because I got good grades in the note test.

That said, the fact that I’m still at the bottom hasn’t changed, but it doesn’t feel good.

After the match is over, I head to the Crafting Department.

I was lucky this time in Dalian.

It was a good enemy even with an old-fashioned weapon that I did not modify.

Most of all, I was able to drop enemies using the lights.

But what if your opponent had some great armor?

obviously lost

In addition to getting stronger myself, I felt that I had to strengthen my weapons as well.

In the case of students who are pushed by the guild, the guild’s engineers and craftsmen make weapons.

Even in the case of the sword used by Shin Yu-jeong, it is a sword made by reproducing historical relics with modern technology, and it is a weapon that combines the technology of the world’s No. 1 guild kite.

A great weapon to help you wield both magic and swordsmanship.

In order to repay that, Shin Yoo-jeong lives by reflecting herself on the media several times a day.

However, students like me who do not have such a contract have to modify their weapons or go to a workshop to entrust them.

Naturally, refining weapons in a private workshop has the disadvantage of being delayed.

It is unreliable to modify the weapon by oneself on an amateur subject.

Above all, even if you ask a high-end workshop to manufacture something like a revolver, you will not be able to receive a proper weapon.

Since the development of energy beam weapons, people who want to make such classic firearms have long since disappeared, so there are few workshops that even manufacture weapons for use in high-level dungeons.

So the best thing is to have at least one small producer of your own. So, most of the students are in clubs. Or find a crew.

Just as cadets from the Department of Combat are promising people for battle, students from the Department of Crafting are also proven blacksmiths to some extent.

So, is one of the advice that seniors give to juniors is to say that even if you fight battles and classmates, don’t be fooled by the production department?

There are many chimneys in the building in the form of a huge tower.

Numerous futuristic weapons are crafted and shattered there, constantly devouring the monster’s byproducts.

“ruler. came out. The weapon that was ordered. Please use it often next time!”

“Did you come out better than you thought? The next weapon, please.”

I go more and more inward past soliciting productions and people.

The outdoor workshop is easily accessible.

It is also a place where people who get good grades in the academy go.

However, the more you go inside, the narrower the workshop becomes. A place where producers with poor grades are forced to be driven. And there is also someone inside here to whom I will entrust the quest.

Even the heroes of myths can’t get out without a thread, so they go to places where even light doesn’t come in.

And there is the Gunsmith Workshop, which is placed in an abandoned room in a corridor that is curved into a letter L, a place that no one seems to find.

The room was still in the process of being remodeled.

To promote his workshop, which is located in a place that no one finds like a damp mold, a panel slanted on the wall saying ‘Smith Gunsmith Shop is open today.’

Upon entering, a red-haired girl was sleeping on a plastic chair, leaning against the wall.

Like a self-employed person who knows that no customers will come today.

The workshop was kept neat in its own way, but it seemed that all they could do in a place where no one came was just to pray for the guests to come.

[what. You’re remodeling a gun like my life in a place like this?]

“trust me. This guy here is an authority on gun modification. At least as far as the weapons we use.”

I rang the bell in front of the red-haired girl still wandering in my dreams.

The bell never rang properly, as if it had never rang.

In the end, exhausted, I tap the glass in front of her and make a sound.

“excuse me.”

“Ahh! Thank you for using Smith & Smith Gunsmith!”

Surprised and conditionally reflexive, a girl who shouts a shop slogan falls down.

On top of that, dusty parts fall together.

“it’s okay?”

A girl hit by a falling spanner grabs her hair that looks like a lump and gets up.

“Oh my gosh… I’m fine.”

She gets up and looks at my face.

“What did you come here for?”

When she sees the classic weapon coming up from the holster, her face starts to turn red.

The moment her dream seems to become a reality.

“this···? Are you Colt Python? A luxury revolver.”

“I want you to modify my weapon. I heard the Smith & Smith Gunsmith Shop is the best artisan in the Academy when it comes to old-fashioned guns.”

Maybe that’s normal. Most of the Academy’s manufacturing department deals with cold weapons.

There are very few gunsmiths, and even that few gunsmiths deal with energy weapons, not these old-fashioned weapons.

So, the only person who knows how to make this weapon is the best and worst Gunsmith.

And her emotions, which were blushing, turned to her eyes.

Soon, things that have condensed sadness and emotion are poured into tears like chicken dung.

Seeing a girl crying, it’s so embarrassing.

“I never dreamed in my life that I would have someone in my life entrusting me with something.”

“Even in this day and age, there are classicists.”

I give her some time to get emotional.

“uh. However, there are very few people who come to me these days, so there are very few ingredients or anything like that. At best, all the tools I used in the pre-Gate world.”

“it’s okay. The materials will be supplied by me.”

she snorts and asks.

“I am Betty Smith. This is the last Gunsmith of the Smith and Smith Workshop. I enrolled in Korea to learn better metallurgy skills.”

“Rahobin. The last remaining cowboys of this era.”

“They are rare. So what are you going to entrust me with?”

“this.”

Seeing the mother-in-law Nagant, she picks up a gun like a seizure.

“Moshin Nagang! It’s a complete master piece. Vasily Zaychev and her mother-in-law Hae-wei wrote this, didn’t they?”

She was muttering, reciting the prayers of Nakang, who she worshiped, spreading her imagination.

“It was written by my mother-in-law. Even if you don’t see it that way, it’s a spirit creature.”

I waited for a while as she grabbed her gun, twerked and trembled like an epileptic.

“Ouch. 👅. Can I modify Shimo Haihai’s rifle? This is the glory of Smith & Smith’s workshop.”

I took out what I had in my bag. It’s a mechanical device that has roughly washed away its flesh, but still smells disgusting.

“ah. I know this. It is the power source of the bizarre pile of flesh. I heard it’s pretty hard to get at a low rank. I heard that there is nothing to use at high rank, so there is very little to touch.”

“I think that metal would be a great material for a gun. Of course, it seems insufficient, but at least we can replace more later.”

“I will do my best.”

Takes out a million credits and shoves them in front of her. Big money, about half of the money earned so far.

“It’s an advance payment. Depending on the level of perfection of the gun, I will give you more after it is completed.”

“Leave it to me! I’ll work hard. Mr. La.”

“I look forward to it.”

Fallen Hope’s manufacturing department saw her workshop light up for the first time.

Studying is boring. I didn’t usually study that hard, but I guess I’ll have to work hard to survive in a novel.

It’s not much different from the manuals I’ve seen in the military. It’s just that the enemies are unpredictable.

There is only one thing expected of the enemy. The enemy always strives to exert his maximum killing power. You just learn to fight it.

So, the most reasonable judgment is generally correct. If you have the means to counter the enemy’s strategy.

“The support group that is in charge of recovery and battlefield support, and the tank group that blocks enemy threats with their whole body, it is safe to assume that these are all for your damage dealers. With their whole body they fend off threats that come into you.”

Damage dealer Instructor Paulos Zorba was a good protector.

He fended off the invasion of the otherworld for several years with a mana-flowing saw.

But even that did not stand the test of time.

His eyes were still sharp, but they had faded with the years.

“And while they throw themselves to protect you, you must face the enemy with all your might. If your shields fall before the enemies, that is the team’s defeat. And never say that your allies are lacking. If they failed despite their best efforts, it’s because of your lack of skills that failed to subdue the enemy while they rolled on the front line.”

As he stood up with his cane, he continued in a voice with age.

“ruler. Let me ask you a question here. Tell me about the most important skill of a dealer.”

A golden line that confidently raises your hand. He always tried to stand out somehow.

“The three major factors of a dealer are …”

But Paulos keeps his mouth shut.

“It’s not that I want to know the elements that only come out of textbooks. After all, most of the content in the manual becomes a piece of paper the moment the first battle cry breaks out. Say what you think is important to each of you.”

Several answers pop up.

“It’s a fighting ability.”

“It’s the ability to deal damage.”

But despite the number of replies, Instructor Paulos only shook his head.

And I raise my hand, who was silently listening to those words.

“You don’t die, but you don’t become a coward.”

In other words, you need to be able to control distance well.

Only then did Instructor Yuri smile. Like a hahoe mask, the lips full of years rise.

“That’s right. pupil. The most important thing for a damage dealer is survivability. Eliminate the greatest threat to your team while dodging the enemy’s menacing attacks. And in the meantime, keep the fighting ability. The prerequisite for all of that is to be alive. Supporters will say the same thing. They say they have to survive to the very end to provide relief. The same goes for dealers.”

He looked at the students slowly and seemed to scan the future.

It’s like being a differentiator trying to figure out who’s a series and who’s a red song.

“But at the same time, you must not lose your beast. A dealer who tries to deal damage only in a safe place for fear of dying is disqualified as a dealer. Ships are the safest law in port, but that’s not the reason ships exist. The dealer is a contradiction. Safety should be pursued, but sometimes you have to jump into danger for maximum efficiency. Sometimes it’s safer in the middle of a storm.”

As he bounces his wand twice, the classroom begins to split.

What’s with this school’s basically hidden classrooms?

is it hogwarts?

“Therefore, today’s note test is replaced by this. Starting tomorrow, you will learn about the theory, but before that, you have to check your basic abilities.”

It’s like a battlefield in the Middle Ages.

Huge bullets flying from all directions in a huge field.

The spearmen stood in unison in the Tercio formation.

And one fighter standing still in the wall of the spearman.

And on the other side, there is a formation with a similar formation.

However, the only difference is that there are no armored warriors and the thickness of the dust protection is thinner.

“You guys only have 10 minutes.”

Conditions come out of his wrinkled mouth.

“I will score the damage done to the fighters in the opposing formation.”

Fortunately, I was awarded the last number in return for a good answer.

And I bet I’ll get my top score here.
