For the first time Wim felt the blood vessels pulsing at the tip of his finger, it looked like slaughtering something
He didn't look at the eyes of the Bandit he had stabbed because he still had to make sure that the bandit was dead
The body splashed a rain of blood towards Wim right after he pulled his knife
The bandit began to lose consciousness then fell and died slowly without any resistance at all
Although it looked unpleasant, but Wim had to do it if he wanted to survive
Bandit: "Hey! What happened there?"
The bandit leader called the bandit who had been stabbed to make sure if there was a problem at his place. But it was useless because the bandit was already dead
Bandit:" Hey you two. Follow me, he didn't answer"
And because there was no answer, the bandits had no choice but to go to the bandit's place
they thought that their friend was resting or doing something, so they went to check on him and unexpectedly
Bandit:" N-No way "
Bandit:" How could it be, the sniper died by the hands of a child? "
The bandits' emotions were shocked because they couldn't believe that their sniper had become a corpse and was lying in the middle of a snowstorm
Bandit:" We shouldn't waste time. Hurry up and find him and k-"
Gunshot
right before the other bandit finished his sentence to look for Wim. A strange line appeared on his head
The strange line was a bullet that shot towards his head. The possibility that it was none other than Wim
right before the other bandits came to him, Wim hurriedly took the equipment held by the sniper. The contents were a bolt-action rifle containing 5 bullets, 2 grenades, and several bolt-action bullets
for the first time Wim also used a firearm because in his place firearms were strictly prohibited so that only security forces and soldiers were allowed to carry them
therefore he tried to demonstrate what he had seen in world war action films where he did a prone position then aimed it at the bandit's head, locked it with his shoulder, released the safety, put his index finger on the trigger, took a breath to focus
and finally pulled the trigger
Shot
for the first time Wim fired the first shot and finally hit the bandit's head. But this is not the end because there are still more bandits that he has to kill
Bandit: "Fuck, What should we do! Should we split up?!" The bandit was scared because his leader had been killed by a small child with a gun whose location was unknown
Because Wim's unknown location made him feel scared that he would be attacked from every direction
Bandit: "You Idiot! Do you want to be the next target, take cover" but the other bandit reminded his partner not to split up because it would make it easier for Wim to shoot them
He told his other partner to take cover where he guarded the front while his partner guarded the back
They also coated their shields with magic spells to expand their defenses
At that time the snowstorm had stopped so that their view could see more clearly
Wim who was hiding behind the bushes on the high rocks watched the two bandits, besides their shields they also had crossbows and a revolver
He thought of a way so that he could finish off the two people as soon as possible before their Magus came
[Note: Magus here is referred to as Mage]
Wim: * did i have the grenade that was taken earlier *
he remembered that he not only took the rifle and its ammunition but also the grenade
the grenade here has a shape almost like the grenade in the world war where its shape is inspired by the German m24 grenade
although the explosive power is quite large but if he throws it then the two bandits will immediately know his position. Plus they have a magic shield that protects them from physical attacks
this is a slightly difficult obstacle because the grenades that Wim brought were only 2
Wim: * how? *
Art:" you can change the grenade mode to lightning grenade mode "
Wim:" eh wait what? "
Art who was behind Wim told him that the grenade he was carrying had a mode change feature
Art:" didn't you realize that this grenade has another button to change the type of magic so that it gives a lightning magic explosion that will destroy the magic" he said while pointing at the button in question with his light like a laser pointer
hearing this Wim immediately realized that the grenade he was holding was the latest version of the grenade that could change its explosion to a magic explosion according to the attached attribute
This grenade is very expensive because the cost of making it is equally expensive so the grenade is only used by the military
The fact that this grenade fell into the hands of bandits is a dilemma for the manufacturing company because they cannot guard their goods, but it is lucky for Wim because with this he can destroy their magic shield
Without much time Wim pressed the button to change modes and after that the tip of the grenade turned blue
For the first time also for Wim to throw a grenade, to the point that he was a little afraid that the grenade he threw would fall towards him. So Wim showed himself swinging his hand from behind to the front, throwing the grenade
Bandit: "That's it!"
One of the bandits saw Wim showing himself and immediately shouted to his partner
For them this was a good opportunity to take revenge for their fallen partner, he smiled happily
But the smile disappeared because he saw Wim making a strange movement like he was throwing something
At first he was confused about what he was throwing. But then after he saw what Wim threw, he immediately realized it
Bandit: "Grenadeee!!!"
With his loud words they immediately took a defensive position with their magic shields
The grenade fell in front of the bandits and started to emit light, like something was going to happen
Explosion
Electrocution
The grenade exploded along with the electric current coming out of the grenade
Bandit:"Wait what happened, our magic shield is broken?"
The magic shield used by the two bandits suddenly broke for some reason, and the reason was because the electric current from the grenade destroyed the magic spell that had been made
The bandits now had no more defense so they had no choice but to attack Wim before they were finished off
They ran, advancing towards Wim, but before they could take another step they saw a grenade fall floating in front of the two of them
It turned out that after throwing the other grenade, Wim threw the last grenade he had to immediately finish off the two bandits
They didn't have time to immediately avoid it and started to surrender with their condition
Explosion
(On the other side, on the mountain path)
A cart pulled by a horse carrying several passengers is seen
The horse pulling the cart is not the same as a real horse, but an automaton driven by a magic machine
The cart is late covered with cloth to protect its passengers when it rains or storms
They are seen traveling across a mountain path that looks steep and dangerous
Inside the cart the passengers look relaxed. They do nothing but just stare at each other, and sometimes they also share their stories
Most of their stories are migrating to another kingdom to get a better life from their hometown
While they were chatting, there was only one person who seemed to have no intention of talking, she was just a girl in a gray robe who was reading an old magic book
Passenger: "Excuse me, sorry but what are you reading?"
???: "Nothing, just an old alchemy magic book"
One of the passengers looked at the girl and asked her. The girl answered while continuing to look at the contents of her book, not wanting to make direct eye contact
Passenger: "It looks like you are heading towards Henosis Island to enter the academy, is that right?"
???: "Yes" nodding his head
The passenger knew that the girl's destination was the academy on Henosis Island, because the horse-drawn carriage was also on its way to the air port to enter Henosis Island
Henosis Island was famous as a gathering place for Arcane geniuses from all over the world, so it was no surprise for him to know the girl's destination. Many of the Arcane geniuses came from nobles and commoners so it is not surprising that the name of the island is called Henosis because it symbolizes the unity between nobles and commoners
seeing the girl carrying her magic wand and focusing on her book indicates that she is studying hard to become one of them
there are no more questions he wants to ask the girl so he tries to let her
However
Explosion
passenger:" hey what's that?!"
a sound of an explosion came from nowhere causing panic among the other passengers
they flocked to scream for no apparent reason because they only heard an explosion. Thinking that they were being attacked
Rider:" please everyone calm down"
The rider was trying to calm the tension in the passengers so that there would be no fatal accident in the mountains
While the other passengers were asking about the origin of the sound, the girl who had been quiet while reading a book started to get off her cart while carrying her magic wand and looking down the mountain slope, she saw smoke coming from the forest at the bottom of the mountains
Rider: "Madam, please don't get out of the cart, we will continue our journey soon"
Rider: "Madam?"
??? :" Please wait here for a moment I'll be right back"
suddenly the girl took out her magic wand, chanting her magic spell
a large magic circle appeared under her feet, lifting herself to float so that the girl also floated
Rider:" isn't that a type of floating magic ?! "
the rider was shocked to see floating magic cast by the girl
Floating magic is a magic that is very difficult to control because it must balance itself with its magic to be able to give a good performance when flying
Swuush
suddenly the girl flew towards a strange smoke that most likely came from the origin of the explosion sound
Wim:" huh, finally the problem has been solved "
Wim managed to kill the two bandits with his two grenades, the bandits' bodies were torn apart because they were hit by the explosion in their stomachs so that Wim could see the burning smell on their bodies
this traumatized Wim, and began to think that if he became a soldier, he would definitely experience this terrible sight
[Quest Prologue, Escape from the pursuers has been completed
You get Exp Points]
Appears a message floated, and this time Wim didn't pay attention to it, he was busy looking for something in the pockets of the bandits he defeated
there he tried to take the bandits' pockets which contained a lot of money
because he didn't have a single cent of money so he had to think realistically by taking their pocket money. there were more than 120 gold coins and if converted into paper money then the amount would probably be only a few million
not only that he took the bandits' weapons
The weapons they used were spears, crossbows, and revolvers. In the game Wim uses a special long-barreled weapon that is given additional magic techniques as an additional weapon, but because the weapon is not yet available he has to use another weapon that is less advantageous
although it will not affect the mid-level Arcane who has higher magic abilities
Because of that Wim inevitably has to immediately increase his level to be able to reduce his Mana disability. right after that Art spoke to Wim
Art:" Ehmm, Wim you should see this"
Wim:" what's wrong? "
right after that Wim and Art saw someone floating above the sky with his floating magic. When he was descending he showed himself as a girl in a gray robe
The girl looked at them both while asking in her soft voice
??? :" What's happening here? "
