Leeha felt pain for a while, however as soon as he was able to control his thrown body, the rabbit was rushing again. It's a game, and it's not the time to be whining about why it hurts. Leeha's attack failed, and if he reloads, he will be beaten to death. What should a Musketeer do?
Leeha picked up musket and ramrod and started running away. Turn back and went to the hill with many users. "Help! Save me!"
"Kikkik, What is that guy doing?"
"Can't he catch the rabbit and he has to run away? You can even hunt it by using a knife."
"Is he not a wizard? Why is he running with a staff? With just one beginner magic, the rabbit would die."
"He must have used up his mana. Hopefully, we can see a person getting killed by a rabbit."
There are many other users around, but there was no user who wanted to run and help. Rather, they only laughed with interested eyes.
Besides, the 1.5m long old-fashioned gun was mistaken for a staff. How unpopular is a musketeer?
"If you get killed by a rabbit, the penalty will be the same, right?"
"Yes. It's the same. If it's before level 5, you won't be able to connect for 48 hours when you die."
"Waaaahh!!!"
Leeha ran and ran again. He was about to forget that his lower body is disabled in real life.
He was out of breath, but he couldn't stop.
'If I keep running, I can live. Even if we have similar stamina, it doesn't have something like the Runner's High skill, right?'
According to Leeha's calculation, he will have no problem running.
However, Leeha heard something. Papat Papat. The rabbit's footsteps were getting louder and louder from behind and he is having a hard time breathing.
Humans cannot run faster than rabbits.
"S-Save me! Save-."
As soon as the rabbit, who had been running, struck him on his back, his body, which had been running, was thrown and he rolled on the ground.
"Keheok. Kkeuk."
Two and a half turns with acceleration added.
Kkuik-! Kkui!
"Its cry is that of a cute rabbit's, but why is it so violent?"
"Puhahat, he rolled! Amazing. If you run away from a rabbit, the result will be like that."
"Where do people who can't catch rabbits go level up?"
"They have to quit the game. Why did he choose a wizard when he couldn't cast properly?"
Users laughed loudly once more.
"Keeu..."
Leeha, who was lying on the floor, stood up and raised his head.
"I… … I couldn't even catch a rabbit."
He couldn't aim properly, and missed, and got hit by a rabbit and rolled on the ground.
"Does this make sense?"
The fear that he felt from the rabbit in an instant turned into anger and embarrassment.
The vision turned red. That was a sign that his HP was already decreased to 50%. Did I get hits twice?
Since Leeha did not know the rabbit's normal attack power, he didn't know how to calculate the damage accurately.
The first hit in his chest was a critical hit. Critical hit.
Additionally, he had just been hit on his back and rolled on the ground, causing more damage.
Kkui! Kkui!
The ferocious rabbit slammed its big feet on the ground and stared at the Leeha. A predator's attitude to kill Leeha with one final blow.
Leeha got up from his seat while dusting off his body. Weirdly, the musket was held upside down.
"Hmm, yeah, there's no law that tells you to just shoot."
Kkui! Kkyu! Kkyu?
The rabbit ran toward Leeha.
Leeha he faced the rabbit like a baseball player looking for a homerun.
Holding the barrel part, Leeha swung the musket.
"Come on!"
The rabbit's scream followed by a heavy thud. "Kkuiii!!"
The rabbit, landed on the ground, and stood up again.
"Come on, I struck it well. This guy. Let's see who wins!"
Fighting against a rabbit. Leeha wielded his musket like a mace and the rabbit kicked while avoiding his attacks.
A desperate do or die struggle. The sound of Leeha's violent way of hunting was heard and drew the attention of the surrounding users.
"Oh, that's too savage."
"Would you like to do that?"
It is fine to cut a rabbit with a sword, but the image of Leeha swinging his musket on the rabbit like a club was brutal.
"Kuat! Got it! Got it! Haha, you damn rabbit!"
When the rabbit's body finally turned gray, Leeha shouted, raising the musket into the sky.
Leeha smiled, joyful for the success of his first hunt.
"What is that guy. If you're like that while catching a rabbit, you'll likely to dance when you catch a fox."
"Don't make eye contact. We will be harmed for no reason."
"But if you were going to hunt like that, wouldn't it be better to just use a mace? Why did you pick that if you were going to beat it to death anyway? I feel sorry for the rabbit."
"Leave it alone. Nasty pussy." People felt embarrassed for Leeha.
Heavy Strike! Ha!
Kkyui-kkyuit!
Hearing the cries of rabbits as big as cat, Leeha turned his back to the hill and sat down.
To recover HP, he had to take a break.
The joy of success in hunting quickly turned into embarrassment seeing a female user hunt the rabbit successfully using three attacks without getting hurt.
'All I had to do was dodge, and I couldn't even do that. Am I supposed to get hit?'
The musket is a weapon where you are not able to move while loading and firing, and it is natural that the body guided by the combat assistance system will not move unless the user is willing to give up the attack.
You can't move when you load it, and you can't use a musket when you move.
'Does this mean that I need to risk my life for one shot? If I can't hit, I'm going to be knocked out and use a bayonet charge? Does this make sense? No, the mobs with high health won't die in one shot even if you hit them with the musket! Or is the main skill of the Musketeer job the bayonet charge?'
Compared to the rabbit's attack power-it's embarrassing to say this-it's very low, so it's a shame. If it's another beast or humanoid monster, it won't die in a single bayonet charge.
Not a single gun kills, only bayonet charge… … then?
Leeha suddenly imagined holding a musket and hitting a dragon.
Musketeer who crushes dragon scales with a butt!
'No. Think positively. Positively. You just ran well! I could do this much thanks to my running achievement.'
And first of all, didn't the hunt succeed? Even though he showed something shameful.
Leeha's personality which disappeared after the accident is gradually returning as he played middle earth.
As it was positive and cheerful
Leeha opened his bag and checked his 'accomplishment'.
. The rabbit's skin, which was so realistically embodied, protruded from the bag.
It had soft rabbit hair, but the skin was damp and moist.
'How fortunate that I do not have to pick up the loot individually. Good, good. Positive, positive! I was told to get the rabbit skin, so I thought I had to peel the skin from the dead rabbit myself. I don't have to. The corpse of the rabbit became gray and disappeared, and the skin fell on the floor. If you had to cut it yourself, how long would it take complete the quest by shaving the claws of unknown monsters and removing off the teeth?'
At that time, a whisper came from his cousin Kijeong.
K: Hyung! Did you log back in?
L: Kijeong! I got logged out for a while.
For Leeha, his voice was the same as a beam of light.
K: Does Middle Earth force log out? Hmm, what did you get with your job change anyway? Elementalist? Sorcerer? Warlock is good these days.
L: ...Musketeer.
K: Musketeer? What is that?
'How should I answer Kijeong's question?'
It seems that he did not understand Leeha's words. Is it because he haven't heard it for too long. Or maybe it's something he's never heard of… … .
L: That...You know, you shoot a gun.
K: Gun? What? A gun? Ah! OMG!
The surprised expression Kijeong unwittingly spit out was telling everything. And the conversation was cut off for a while because both of them knew well that they couldn't change the job they had already chosen.
K: O-okay. I hope that job will improve later.
L: What are you talking about. It doesn't mean it will get better. I hope it gets better?
K: I-I-It's good because it's a gun.. Wouldn't it be nice?
Kijeong's accent fluctuated up and down. As if someone is trying to comfort you, but can't lie, it was similar to that.
L: Kijeong, what should I do?
K: Haa. It can't be helped because it has already been chosen. Still saying it's a gun? Wasn't hyung a sharpshooter or a sniper or something like that? Try turning off the auto combat system once. In our guild, there's person who was 5th dan Kendo practitioner who became a highlander is really strong.
L: What is a Highlander?
K: It's two-handed sword user. Even when he is not have any special skills, he can attack like he is using one.
L: Really?
K: Yes. I also wrote that in the strategy book. It is better to choose a job that can make use of your specialty in the real world. So, hyung, even though you did not become a wizard … Ha- I think you can still do well in Middle Earth.
'That Highlander can win against anyone without using the combat assistance system? Did Kijeong sigh while while he was talking?'
At Kijeong's words, Leeha noticed some facts. He asked the Artificial Intelligence helper, but it repeated the same answer and didn't give any more hints, he got a rough feeling.
'And his strategy book. I didn't see it properly because it couldn't be called a strategy book anyway.'
He couldn't even tell him that. No, even if he read it, he probably won't understand it properly. There's a difference between listening to an explanation and experiencing it firsthand.
K: First, you need to practice. Show the sniper power!
L: Right, ah! One more thing.
K: What? Do you have any other questions?
L: If you turn off the combat assistance system, will the preparation motion and the progression time of these things decrease?
K: Yes. Of course. So, there is an advantage for those who have learned martial arts. Did you see that the incumbent mixed martial arts player with a fighter class and uses grappling skills on trolls! The user was using grappling skills continuously without any cooldown, and broke the troll's neck. It must have been an awesome scene to see.
L: That's right. Thank God. All right, Kijeong. But when will you show your strength?
K: Hmm?
L: You said you will help me if I changed my job?
Suddenly, the sound on my head stopped. He shouted loudly for helping me.
K: Oh, hyung should get to level 10 first. I won't be able to help you anyway. You can do it step by step from the quest to catch the rabbit.
L: Right.
Leeha risked his life while catching the rabbit, but he didn't want to ask for help.
K: I can't do it right now because I have to meet my friends. Get to level 10 first hyung!
L: Okay, I'll level up quickly and follow you. Wait.
Leeha stopped whispering to Kijeong. The moment he said a few words, his energy didn't come back and instead felt a little depressed.
Fighting with the rabbit will be difficult in the future, but that is the story with the battle assistance system.
'Yes, let's try it my way. I need to learn it with my body.'
Injury does not mean that knowledge is lost.
'Let's study one by one from the beginning'
Leeha, who was sitting, jumped up.
He felt his HP and Stamina getting full.
