chapter 28
28. I’ll put a bullet in your head
Looking at the F-class representative selection through virtual glasses, one of the officials spoke with a sigh.
“Huh… There seems to be a student who has awakened as a blacksmith over there.”
One man talked, and the rest followed suit.
“It’s worth noting that even in Class F, there are people who have awakened as production workers. In particular, seeing that he has taken out the furnace and is using it, he must have awakened to the blacksmith class.”
“What did you say that student’s name was? Lee Hyun… Did you say Seung?”
“I heard that he was a student who was in Class A until recently…Hmm…”
Coincidentally, Jeong Min-seok, Jeong Eun-seo’s father and the guild leader of Theor’s Guild, was also there.
Jung Min-seok murmured quietly.
‘I thought it was unusual because my daughter formed a team, but it seems that they were already recruiting.’
Combat jobs are also treated pretty well, but those belonging to production jobs are also treated fairly highly. This is because crafting various weapons and items from monsters is less difficult. In addition, the convenience of being able to create the desired item at the desired time when created through crafting is one of the reasons for the generous evaluation of crafting professions such as blacksmith.
‘It’s a blacksmith…’
Jung Min-seok looked at the man who was active with his daughter through virtual glasses.
‘Hmm…I guess he’s only a blacksmith in Class F, but wasn’t our Eunseo so lacking in discernment?’
As Jeong Eun-seo is the daughter of the high-ranking guild Theor, there were many talented people around her. Even though blacksmithing is a favored occupation, she did not seem to be talented enough to think that she was special enough to form an alliance.
-Sueug
Jeong Min-seok glanced at Lee Hyeon-seung with slightly uneasy eyes and suddenly noticed something strange.
‘I… what is that?’
What came into Jeong Min-seok’s field of vision was the gun hanging from Lee Hyun-seung’s waist.
‘gun?’
Obviously, there is one rule in this F-class representative selection. You must not carry any other weapons or items other than the basic weapon corresponding to your job. However, carrying a gun around his waist so confidently meant one thing.
‘A gunman…? If so, is it simultaneous awakening?’
One of the few simultaneous awakenings in the world. Jung Min-seok was surprised by that fact alone.
‘As expected, there’s no way our Eunseo forms an alliance with a normal person. If you are a simultaneous awakener, even if it is about an epic level, it has a huge advantage. It’s a bit unfortunate to be a gunman, but it’s not common to be a simultaneous awakener.’
Jeong Min-seok, who looked at Lee Hyeon-seung with satisfaction, did not know. That Lee Hyeon-seung is not just an epic, but a legendary level simultaneous awakener.
***
Inside the virtual stage.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you? I’m a co-awakener Blacksmith, gunsmith.”
When Lee Hyeon-seung spoke, Jeong Eun-seo was startled and spoke.
“No, then I…”
-Turup
Jeong Eun-seo tried to ask if she was a legendary level simultaneous awakening, but Lee Hyun-seung blocked her mouth. Lee Hyeon-seung shook his head at Jeong Eun-seo, who was staring at him with a startled look.
‘It’s still ambiguous to tell Kim Yu-ri.’
Currently, Kim Yu-ri was not very fond of Lee Hyeon-seung. That’s why it’s a big risk to be revealed to Kim Yu-ri as a legendary grade simultaneous awakener in a situation where there may still be some variables.
‘It’s only after I’ve made a positive impression on Kim Yu-ri that I’m fully revealing it.’
Lee Hyun-seung knows how to awaken Kim Yu-ri as a wizard. And, if Lee Hyun-seung awakens Kim Yu-ri, from then on, Kim Yu-ri will treat Lee Hyun-seung like a lifesaver. For Yu-Ri Kim, the study of magic is as important as her life. For reference, wizards are the professions that have the closest access to magic.
Kim Yu-ri, who was next to him, was also surprised and asked a question.
“You, you must have been a simultaneous awakener… Even a blacksmith and gunsmith.”
Kim Yu-ri didn’t even think that Lee Hyun-seung was a legendary simultaneous awakener, and was just surprised by the fact that he was a simultaneous awakener.
“Well, I didn’t mean to hide it, but anyway, it’s a small talk, let’s make some potions. And if there are stones or mana stones around you, collect them.”
The mana stone Lee Hyun-seung is talking about is like an all-purpose material that exists inside the virtual stage. If you use mana stones, you can substitute most of the crafting materials.
“Whoa…”
No matter how much time passed, numerous mana stones were piled up around Lee Hyeon-seung. Thanks to Jeong Eun-seo, an Epic-level magician, she was able to quickly collect numerous mana stones.
-Fire-!
-Fire-!
As Lee Hyeon-seung started putting mana stones into the furnace, the light shimmered and a [Crafting Sphere] popped out.
-Kaang-!
-Kaang-!
After Lee Hyun-seung tapped the crafting sphere a few times, the item’s production began.
– There are 30 seconds left to craft the Fire Element Magazine.
Whether it was because of the blacksmith’s characteristic effect, or because he used mana stones as a material, the magazine production was being completed in a very short amount of time.
Hyunseung Lee looked around and talked.
“First of all, it seems that everyone is not moving, so let’s go make the ingredients here.”
Everyone around me agreed. If it wasn’t now, in the very beginning, there wouldn’t be much time to craft weapons or items in the class representative selection match.
Tens of minutes had passed since he had devoted himself to crafting items and weapons.
“Huuu… at this point, it’s over to some extent.”
After making various potions and making a lot of magazines, Lee Hyun-seung straightened his back and stood up.
Kim Yu-ri asked Lee Hyeon-seung a question.
“Are you done?”
“huh. for now?”
Hyunseung Lee checked the message window in his line of sight.
– [Epic] 1 hour and 20 minutes left to create a random automatic pistol.
‘One hour… which weapon will come out is random, and the production time is quite long.’
For reference, all weapons created in the virtual stage are destroyed the moment you exit. In other words, it means that it is a weapon that is no different from a one-time use. Still, it was surprising that it took more than an hour.
‘Not only did I use mana stones, but there must be an additional effect of a legendary blacksmith, but I didn’t know it would take this long to make a disposable epic weapon.’
But it didn’t matter. Even if it takes more than an hour to make, the magic stat will be attached, and Lee Hyeon-seung still has one crafting slot left.
‘If a problem arises, I can use the remaining one crafting slot.’
Thinking so, Hyunseung Lee, who was about to leave, felt a presence in the distance.
-Basrock-!
Hyunseung Lee quickly judged and shouted.
“Jung Eun-seo-! There is a person next to the bush to the east and west. Use magic to bind them right now!”
-Wheein-!
Instantly, the binding magic was quickly cast.
-Teeing-!
However, a strange sound was heard blocking the shield.
-Tadada dat-!
Lee Hyeon-seung quickly ran and checked the place, and there was a man inside a huge barrier.
Hyunseung Lee pointed a gun at the man.
The man smiled and glared at Lee Hyun-seung, wondering what was so enjoyable.
“Kuhuhhh… you’re not trying to pierce this with a gun, are you?”
Lee Hyeon-seung fired his pistol at the shield without hesitation.
-Taaang-!
Gunshots rang out, and the shields still held.
“You…brought in an external artifact.
A shield this strong is an artifact that cannot be crafted here. Having such a shield means that it is an artifact created by a magician of at least Epic level or higher.
‘Of course, my gun is still the lowest tier basic pistol.’
I’m not using any magic right now, I’m just shooting a normal old pistol. So, even if it had a legendary level additional damage effect, it was difficult to pierce the defensive artifact shield of Epic level or higher. Of course, if you can use magic, you can shatter such a barrier like tearing a piece of paper. The moment magic is used, the power of the gun is maximized several times, and the effect of the legendary attribute is increased accordingly.
‘It’s still an hour to make an Epic grade automatic pistol. I can’t be dying here until then. Should I just throw it away?’
The man inside the shield still giggled and mocked.
“You idiot, you messed around like that and couldn’t break even a single barrier like this? So why did you mess around with Yoo Hee-yeon? Do you have the item you guys were making earlier? If you guys leave me here and get out of here, I’ll go back to my team and tell you everything about what I made. You started with guns, potions, and made a lot of this and that?”
– flinch
Hearing those words, Hyunseung Lee stopped his steps to leave.
‘Epic grade pistols are like hidden weapons that can be used later. Even if that’s not the case, it’s no good knowing that we have potions and other items. It’s better not to give the other person room to react.’
Thinking so, Hyunseung Lee fired his gun once again.
-Taaang-!
-Teeing-!
The man inside the shield giggled and shouted.
“f*ck-! Do you know what kind of defense this is? sick bastard. Let’s play for the rest of our lives here. Check it out once I’m out. And, if you keep shooting, you’ll hear the sound and people will flock here anyway? Then I’ll tell you all about what you guys did. Especially Hyunseung Lee. It looks like you’re making a weapon that takes a long time to produce, but if that fact is known, the entire F-class will scold you? It’s amazing to be a simultaneous awakener, but shouldn’t there be only one crafting slot anyway? The blacksmith is also using the crafting slot, so you can’t make other weapons, and if you make an Epic-grade weapon, it’s impossible to fight against it, so you fool. He didn’t think he’d get caught, so he must have acted so pathetically.”
In an instant, Lee Hyeon-seung trudged along and attached the gun to the shield.
-Taaang-!
“f*ck Rome! You can’t break it with that gun?”
-Taaang-!
I shouted something, but Lee Hyun-seung ignored it and continued to hit the gun.
-bang bang bang bang-!
Suddenly, the bullets ran out.
-Clap-!
-Clap-!
When the bullets started to go out, the guy inside shouted even more vigorously.
“A sick bastard. tell me how many times You can never break it with your gun right now?”
Ignoring the sarcastic man, Lee Hyun-seung turned his head and talked to Jeong Eun-seo.
“Give me all the magazines I made.”
-Sueug
When Jeong Eun-seo handed over a bag, Lee Hyun-seung turned it the other way around and turned it over.
-Pattern dudududuk-!
From inside, dozens of magazines were pouring out.
“Huh?…what…what…? Now…don’t play around. f*ck you trying to run out of bullets here? You… You don’t even have a crafting slot anymore, you idiot!”
-Chunky-!
-percussion-!
Lee Hyeonseung exchanged magazines and spoke with a goosebumps laugh at the man who was stupidly spitting out his voice.
“Crafting slots aren’t your alpha, and I won’t move a step from here until I put a bullet in your head.”
-Sueug
-Taaang-!
Hyunseung Lee’s bullets continued to rush through the shield. at that time.
-Kwajijijik-!
The defenses started to crack.
