The Adventurer’s Guild’s shooting range was much more authentic than I expected.

It was lacking in many aspects compared to the shooting ranges seen in the original world, but thanks to magic, from a system perspective, there were many modern aspects.

Anyone who is a member of the Adventurer’s Guild can experience various firearms for free at the shooting range or use special ammunition for a fee.

Right now, only people came to improve their skills, so I leisurely headed to the experience course.

There were safety guards waiting at the experience course, and the person in charge of me was a young Cheetah woman.

She guided me to the gun area and taught me safety rules, all of which were important and I made sure to take them to heart.

All guns prepared at the experience center are ordinary items with C-grade quality.

What I’m interested in first is the Magic Shotgun and Magic Rifle, which I don’t have at hand right now.

These are the guys I only saw with my own eyes at the Adventurer’s Guild’s gun shop or the magic weapon shop I just stopped by.

First of all, all guns in Arcadia are basically revolvers with six chambers.

So, even with different types of guns, they felt quite familiar, except that the length and weight of the barrel, and the type and shape of the magic bullets used were slightly different.

The first thing I picked up was a magic shotgun.

There were those with and without a stock, and the barrel on the side with the stock was longer.

While I was looking around at the magic shotgun, the security guard brought out the magic shotgun and showed it to me.

The magic bullet has a hemispherical cylindrical warhead and is said to contain metal particles inside.

It is said that it explodes after a certain distance after being fired and spreads the metal particles forward. If that method were used, the effective range would be slightly longer than that of the shotgun I was familiar with.

According to the explanation, this entire process is accomplished with a magic circle drawn on magic bullets, but it is questionable whether the concept of gunpowder even exists in this world in the first place.

‘Should I shoot somewhere?’

After choosing a magic shotgun with a stock, I received six magic shotguns and goggles from the security guard and headed to the designated path according to the instructions.

Because magic guns generally do not make a lot of noise, they did not provide earplugs.

After entering Saro, I opened the chamber of the magic shotgun and loaded 6 magic shotguns.

The magic shotgun was heavier than I thought, so it was difficult to hold it with one hand and reload it, but I was fortunate to be able to reload it quickly thanks to the high-speed reloading skill.

‘Should I have just increased my strength? No, horsepower is better in the long run. Strength increases when you exercise.’

After a moment of regret rather than regret, I aimed at a wooden target 50 meters ahead and pulled the trigger.

Then, the magic bullet was fired with a fairly heavy recoil compared to a magic pistol.

The magic bullet exploded a few steps in front of the target, and the metal particles ejected from it made a loud noise as they hit the wooden target.

At this level, weak demons such as goblins would be blood clotted with just one proper hit.

I felt a definite sense of fun, so I fired the remaining five rounds without stopping, and in the end, the wooden target was completely shattered.

Seeing the overwhelming firepower with my own eyes made me want to buy it right away, but I decided to think rationally like I did at the magic weapon store.

After finishing shooting with the magic shotgun, I came out of the private room and went back to the security guard and returned the magic shotgun.

The next gun to experience is the magic rifle.

The magic rifle is similar to a bolt action rifle or semi-automatic rifle and is equipped with a revolver-type loading device.

It was longer than the magic shotgun and slightly heavier.

The magic rifle bullet shown by the security guard has a sharp cone-shaped warhead, and it looks quite scary compared to the magic pistol bullets I have used so far.

There is nothing particularly special about magic rifle bullets, but it is said that armor-piercing bullets are sometimes custom-made.

I chose the design I liked among the magic rifles, received 6 magic rifle bullets from the security guard, and returned to Saero.

It was difficult to reload with one hand, but there was nothing I couldn’t do this time.

The target given this time, unlike the previous target, was made of metal and was set 200 meters away.

If you listen to the stories of men who served in the military during the conscription system, they say that they shot from 100 to 250 meters and hit everything perfectly. I don’t know if I can shoot as well as those people.

I trusted the safety officer’s advice and my gun shooting skills, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.

A recoil stronger than that of a magic shotgun went through my shoulder, but it didn’t particularly hurt or feel difficult.

If it had been a gun using gunpowder, a much greater recoil would have been felt.

“Oh, you got it right.”

The first magic rifle bullet hit exactly in the center of the target.

Gaining confidence, I continued to pull the trigger and hit the target with 5 shots in a row, achieving decent results for my first shot.

This is just my opinion, but I think magic guns are better in many ways than guns that use gunpowder.

It’s a bit ambiguous because the comparison is not a real gun, but a gun in a game.

After finishing the shooting experience, I returned the magic rifle to the security guard.

And this time, I decided to try shooting special bullets with my magic pistol.

The security guard, who had disappeared for a moment, brought different types of special ammunition and showed them to me.

Laura looked at the special bullet with the same price as the one she was sold for with a strange look, and it looked quite cute.

Before listening to the explanation about the special bullets, I paid the money first.

The safety personnel only received the cost of special bullets as stipulated and did not request any additional fees.

According to her explanation, special bombs are composed of flame bombs, freeze bombs, wind pressure bombs, suppression bombs, flare bombs, and smoke bombs based on the six major elemental magics.

Since each special bullet has a different color, it is easy to distinguish it, so there is less chance of making a mistake.

As I continued to listen to the safety officer’s explanation, I heard that flame bombs and ice bombs are literally used to burn or freeze a target, and that flares and smoke bombs also perform as their names suggest.

Also, it is somewhat interesting that wind pressure bombs can instantly create powerful winds that can knock down or blow away a target, while suppressor bombs can surround a target with rocks and make it unable to move.

It is said that special bullets cannot be expected to have penetrating power due to the nature of causing a magical reaction as soon as they hit the target.

Enough of the explanation, I think you’ll get a good feel for it if you shoot it yourself.

After receiving the special bullets from the security guard, I returned to the private room, loaded the fire bullets first, and fired them at the wooden target.

As soon as the flame bullet touched the target, it created a hot flame and instantly engulfed the wooden target.

It is surprising that it is more powerful than expected.

So what about ice charcoal?

I fired a freezing bullet at a new target that appeared after the burned target and watched as it instantly froze about half of the target.

Next, we fired flares and smoke bombs, but these two types of bullets had lower output than those used in actual combat, so they were not very bright and did not produce much smoke.

Perhaps it is an unavoidable measure because using the right thing indoors like this would cause so much nuisance.

Now I decided to shoot the wind pressure bomb and suppressor bomb, whose performance I was most curious about.

The target for these two rounds was not a wooden or metal sign, but a mannequin.

I fired a blast bomb at the just-prepared mannequin, creating a small storm that blew it back.

It seems like it could cause great confusion if used against densely packed enemies in a narrow place like a cave.

It will also be excellent at blowing away things like smoke and toxic gases that make it difficult to breathe.

Next, I fired the last remaining suppressor bullet at the prepared mannequin.

As soon as the suppression bullet reached the mannequin, it created a large amount of rocks and surrounded it.

If it had been a person and not a mannequin, it would have been pinned down and subdued.

After finishing shooting all the special bullets, I returned the goggles to the security guard.

I then thanked the friendly security guard and left the experience center with Laura.

Today, I will finish the shooting range tour and take a look at my condition.

‘Does this make sense?’

I was shocked when I looked at my skill window.

The level of all types of previously learned combat skills increased, and new passive skills such as pistol proficiency, shotgun proficiency, and rifle proficiency appeared.

Looking at my current situation, it seems that in order to raise my skill level or acquire new skills, I need to take certain actions in certain places as well as experiences gained in everyday life.

If I hadn’t come to the shooting range, I would have never known about this or would have found out about it only later.

‘If you can continue to raise your skill level like this, you will be able to shorten the time tremendously. I should definitely stop by any place I think is relevant. Then, shall we take a look at the newly acquired skills?’

I read the description of the newly acquired passive skill with excitement.

These skills are said to improve the ability to handle specific firearms separately from firearm shooting skills.

However, even though I have used the magic pistol quite a bit so far, my magic pistol mastery is at skill level 1.

Perhaps a lot of experience is needed to raise the skill level, or the skill level only increases in special cases like this one.

‘There are no special skills related to special bullets, right? There may be a separate way to obtain this, so don’t jump to conclusions. Anyway, I’m glad I got stronger easily.’

When I first fell into this world, I thought it would be a world far away from games, but since coming to Franca, I feel like it’s fun every time I learn about game elements one by one.

If I continue to discover these things in the future, I think it will be possible to truly live as I want in this world.

‘Now shall we go and take on a new request?’

I took Laura up to the first floor and looked through the request board.

This is a goblin, that is a goblin, a goblin, a goblin… why are they all goblins?

I don’t know who it is, but someone with a grudge against goblins has posted a lot of requests to kill goblins in various places.

I don’t even want to look at goblins for the time being.

Oh, there’s something else too. This is a request to eliminate one of the lowest level monsters.

What exactly is the lowest level monster?

When setting up my world view, I created all kinds of creatures, but I have no memory of creating a category called monsters.

The role of humanity’s enemies was left to the demons, so there was no reason to create separate monsters.

I think it’s time to ask Laura again about the ‘common sense’ of this world.

“Laura, can you explain what monsters are?”

“Monsters refer to beasts that have been transformed by infection with demonic parasites.”

Laura again kindly explained what I didn’t know.

The problem is that the content is a bit disturbing.

“Demon parasite?”

“Yes. No one knows its exact origins, but it transforms the beast it uses as a host into something disgusting and seeks to kill all humans, demons, and animals.”

“Can it also infect humans?”

“No. Humans are immune. I’m so glad.”

Yeah, I’m really glad.

The last thing I want to see is someone infected with such a strange parasite and deformed.

It’s much better to see things that have already died and changed like zombies. I hate people who are transformed alive and running around screaming for them to be killed.

“The lowest level monsters are at the level of a cat or dog, so they are not that dangerous, so Rebecca will be able to deal with them very easily.”

“Really? It’s nothing special.”

“Because it is the lowest level.”

Laura smiled brightly and emphasized the word lowest level.

If I step down from here, I want to be labeled a coward for the rest of my life.

good! This request was decided on the lowest level monster!

I opened the request form and headed to the now familiar dwarven receptionist.

As soon as the receptionist saw me, she smiled brightly and welcomed me.

“Welcome, Rebecca. We apologize for the inconvenience this morning.”

“No. Hey, so…”

“My name is Emma.”

The name of the dwarf receptionist who was always kind to me was Emma.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of asking his name until now.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever asked other people’s names first, except for Laura.

I think it would be better to make a clear statement to people you will see frequently in the future.

“There is nothing wrong with Emma. That’s what the rules say, so there’s nothing we can do about it. And if I hadn’t been there at the time, Emma might have suffered harm.”

“Thank you. Sometimes, such bad quality people register in the guild and make many people tired.”

“It would be nice if there was something like a qualification test.”

“It used to be there, but it was removed recently when the new guild leader took office. I still don’t know why.”

It’s common for good systems to be destroyed when the top management changes.

Wherever you go, only low-ranking people see blood.

“I had a similar experience, and time was the answer. And since I would like to do this request, please register to begin.”

“Yes, I understand. Here is the deposit of 100 Lagir and the client’s home address. They say they are only available between 10 AM and 1 PM, so you can go and talk then.”

“It looks like there are monsters in the city too.”

“There are often cases where pets or livestock become infected. Oh, and next time there is a good request, I will introduce it to you first, Rebecca. I want to give you a little something in return.”

This is really good news. If possible, it would be nice to receive a request with a generous reward compared to the work.

“I will accept it gratefully. See you next time then.”

I took the down payment and walked away from the reception desk.

I suddenly wondered why Emma didn’t ask about Charles, but I decided not to care.

“Rebecca, it’s already late today and I don’t think I’ll be able to meet the client. What do you do?”

“Hmm… I want to spend time leisurely with you.”

“Really?”

“Okay. While the sun is up, I’ll explore various places with you, and when the sun sets, I’ll have fun with you like it was yesterday.”

At my suggestion, Laura smiled shyly and looked at me.

It seems like she is quite looking forward to spending time with me.

I really want to live up to those expectations.
