Johan stood tall in the testing area, holding the Mithral Repeater rifle that Hiroshi had just explained. In front of him, a mannequin stood surrounded by a glowing blue magical shield. The light pulsed slowly, indicating an active magical defense.
"Is this the strongest simulation you can create?" Johan asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Hiroshi.
"For now, yes," Hiroshi replied confidently. "The runes on that shield mimic upper-intermediate magical defenses, similar to those used by Dragonia or other supernatural beings. If these Type-A magic bullets can penetrate it, then we know we're on the right track."
Johan nodded, raising the rifle to his shoulder and taking a shooting stance. He took a deep breath, his eyes locked on the mannequin ahead.
[Target Locked]
The rifle felt comfortable in his hands, and its sleek design made it easy to aim. Johan gently squeezed the trigger.
BANG!
