Matans Shooter 609

With a laugh, the speaker said, Ah, yes. Its been a while since Ive been able to visit and now here I am finally greeting you. Have you been well?

Of course! Ive been fineno, this isnt the time for that, lets go inside to talk. You should keep on practicing.

Browless gently patted the shoulder of the newcomer, a gesture that even the onlookers, including Leeha, found surprisingly warm. Such friendly actions were almost foreign to them.

Did the headmaster take a liking to them? Or is it just that the academy is doing quite well these days?

Leeha observed Browless treating the novice player with warmth. And the player was a Miyaw, of all races!

Choosing a Musketeer class, no less, when most of their kind leaned towards close-range heavy damage roles!

Its an unusual combination, indeed. Playing the game must be incredibly challenging for them.

Leeha silently wished the newcomer luck when suddenly, Browless wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

What are you looking at? Lets go. Yes, ah, okay.

Arm in arm!?

As Leeha panicked internally, Blaugrunn, following him, laughed quietly.

Blaugrunn: You really cant say no to the master, can you?

Leeha: Its not that! It just feels awkward, awkward because Headmaster Browless isnt usually like this, you know?

What could possibly be so amusing?

Leeha was nearly dragged into the academy headmasters office by Browless.

Only when they arrived did Browless notice Blaugrunn.

After a moment of surprise, Browless doffed his hat in a polite greeting.

Its been a long time since Ive seen a dragon. I apologize for not greeting you earlier.

Oh, as expected indeed, as expected. No need, Im here today merely as Leehas partner, so dont worry about it.

The once brash and arrogant young Blaugrunn now exhibited a much softer demeanor. Though to Leeha, seeing Blaugrunn gesturing for Browless to sit while speaking politely still seemed a far reach.

Browless, smiling, prepared three cups of tea.

Blaugrunn, now seemingly done exploring, sat a little away, sipping his tea.

So, what brings you here?

There were things I hadnt yet said and things I was curious about.

Ive heard about Brown and Elizabeth.

Yes. Yes?! Ah- well, perhaps-

Mm. Kidd comes by quite often. Despite always appearing brusque and speaking oddly, Kidd seemed to genuinely care for his original mentor.

Leeha found the thought amusing.

Nevertheless, there were recent developments Browless was yet unaware of, and so Leeha shared them. Skipping over what Browless already knew about the wave in Toin, Leeha quickly relayed how he had gathered souls and somewhat successfully used them for Gibrids restoration.

So, it has come to that. Gibrid has

If only I had aimed a bit more clearly I could have taken care of it all.

Browlesss expression darkened again.

Leeha felt the same pang of regret.

Other players could excuse their failure by their lack of awareness of the waves true nature.

But what about Leeha?

Even Biyemi and Petyr, who had somewhat understood the secrets of the jar, lacked the ability to prevent Gibrids revival.

But Leeha?

I could have done something!

Of the five jars containing 50,000 souls, Leeha had managed to break only three.

Moreover, though you lament, your level has improved unimaginably. You know this yourself, dont you?

Level.

Smiling weakly at the NPCs term for discussing concepts of level, Leeha showed a resigned smile.It was certainly incomparable to the last time he had visited Browless. Moreover, wasnt there a reward for the Third Wave?

Ah, right. Character window!

Right, I havent distributed my stats while dealing with the Chiyou and such. Sigh, I should at least invest in intelligence. Now intelligence will be over 400. Leeha, while looking at his character window and deciding on stats, wondered how his actions appeared to Browless.

Looking at Leeha, who was blankly staring into space, Browless wore a worried expression. Ease up, dont try to shoulder all the burdens of Middle Earth by yourself. It might do you good to look around and delegate some responsibilities.

Yes, I understand. Leeha nodded, taking in Browless advice.

Possibly due to his intelligence surpassing 400 and the Object Recognition effect becoming clearer, Browless couldnt help but smile warmly at the sparkle in Leehas eyes. I believe you can overcome it. I will

Of course, reassuring words and a smile werent the only things that put Leeha at ease.

Browless stood up, not forgetting to add another word of encouragement to lift Leehas spirits further. -be there for sure next time.

The assault to prevent Ghibrids resurrection!

Browlesss determination to join the fight was indeed communicated to Leeha. By the way, why did the Lotzak prevent headmaster from coming?

There wasnt any particular reason last time either. I think I have a rough idea of what that man is up to But this time, he wont be able to stop us. I plan to send a letter to His Majesty the King immediately.

A light bulb went off in Leehas head as he listened to Browless. Lotzak must obey the Kings orders. The best way to go about it!

Give me a momentI will quickly make a trip to the Papacy.

Hm? What happened?

Ha, haha, Im not quite sure myself. I just tend to think clearly in these situations.

If it were up to Lotzak, he could crumple Browlesss letter. But if its a direct request from the Papacy!?

See, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Moreover, thanks to the advice from the headmaster, I got another idea. Look around you. Truly a great piece of advice.

Browless may not have known what Leeha was thinking, but decided to trust his disciple.

Filled with anticipation, Leeha looked towards Blaugrunn. Hehe, Blaugrunn-ssi? You do have polymorph magic, right?

Could it be Leeha-ssi.

Just like that!

Realizing what Leeha meant, Blaugrunn couldnt help but express his awkwardness.

After rushing to the Papacy to request the dispatching of Admiral Browless to the New World without fail, Leeha immediately proceeded with Blaugrunn to an empty lot near the City of Gazia.

Ah, really! Why must you do this!

Because it cant be anyone but you, Blaugrunn-ssi! Besides, its not a Black Ves either! Would you die from a musket shot or two?

Die? Barri My barrier wouldnt last a few shots, and a direct hit could be fatal!

You wont die, you wont die. Theres no need to worry at all since we dont have any bullets made from dragon hearts. Despite their squabbling, Leeha had already loaded his Kentucky musket.
