Arena Chapter 10:
Since I'm already here, I might as well shoot a couple of rounds .
The rounds I'm going to be using in the test has a different weight than the steel ones I just ordered .
I need to know the difference in feeling and recoil of the real rounds .
'Let try shooting . '
I put took out one round and put in the chamber .
Then I aimed at a tree that was about 20 meters away .
'I thought it will be difficult to load but it's easier than I expected . '
I just needed to put the bullet in the chamber and that's it .
One round chamber guns in the past needed to have gun power put in the barrel with a stick .
This was a gun that used magic and not gunpowder so it was simple .
I assumed the sitting position and put the **** of the rifle in my shoulders .
I put the tree in my line of sight and after holding my breath fired .
Tong -!
I felt a heavy recoil along with a small sound .
Pagik!
The tree that was hit had it's bark ripped apart .
"The recoil is way less than the K2 I used in the military . That means the power is just as much lower .
But there are advantages .
Because the gun's weight is light and the recoil is small I can shoot without assuming a proper stance . Plus the sound it makes is small . Thanks to it not being a gun that uses gun powder it doesn't make any unnecessary noise .
I closed in on the tree to inspect it .
There was a small dent where it hit . This was plenty for killing .
If I hit the vitals I could kill the red ape in one shot .
"Silpi . "
-Meow .
I told Silpi to find the bullet I just shot .
-Meow .
Silpi flew away somewhere and soon after it fetched the bullet and put it on top my palm .
"I was right . . . . . "
As expected the bullet was deformed . It's impossible to reuse . I needed to become a one shot one kill sniper .
This time I shot a little bit farther from the target tree .
Tong!
This time it did not hit the tree .
"Go pick it up Silpi . "
Silpi retrieved the bullet for me .
This time with good luck the shape of the bullet was perfectly fine . Seeing as there was a lot of dirt on it, it must have hit the ground .
'Thank goodness . Every single bullet is so precious . '
"Silpi do you happen to know the difference between here and the tree?"
-Meow?
Silpi just turned her head to the side .
'Ah, Silpi doesn't know what a meter is . '
I opened up the ruler app back and showed it to Silpi .
"See here, this is one cm, this is 100 cm and that is equal to 1 meter . Do you understand?"
-Meow!
Silpi answered confidently and wrote down a number on the ground .
41 .
I missed even though it was only 41 meters? I can't even hit a huge tree?
'The accuracy isn't very good . '
Then again the K2 rifle I used in the military was a modern weapon developed using science .
On the other hand the one bullet chamber gun I have, just by looking at it, is a old style gun that uses round bullets . Of course the accuracy is up and down .
It has lots of problems since I need to get one hit kills .
Now the only thing I can rely on is Silpi .
"Silpi . "
-Meow?
"By chance when I shoot can you use your power to make the bullet hit the tree?"
-Meow .
Silpi nodded her head .
"Okay, I'm just going to shoot randomly so use your power to make it hit the target tree okay? Make sure it hits exactly where we hit the first time okay?"
-Meow!
"Okay, I'm going to shoot . "
I put the bullet inside the chamber and quickly assumed a stance . I pulled the trigger without aiming carefully .
Tong!
At the same time as the gun was shot, Silpi flew away .
Puk!
I heard another sound from the tree . It was a bull's eye .
I ran up to the tree and confirmed it .
Shockingly there was another bullet mark in the dent the first bullet made .
"This is it!"
This was an incredible amount of accuracy .
If I use Silpi helps from now on I was certain on a 100 bull's eyes .
The problem was how much of Silpi was used for the shooting .
"Check skills . "
The skill was highlighted when the slate appeared .
-Spirit summon (main skill): You have currently the spirit Silpi summoned .
* Beginner 1st level: Time limit for spirit summoning 2 hrs (Remaining time: 1 hour and 29 minutes) If the time limit is reached you can re-summon only after 10 hours .
The remaining time was reduced greatly .
Shocked I asked Silpi: "how much time has passed since I summoned you?"
Silpi wrote on the ground '17' .
Then from the power Silpi use 14 minutes was used up .
It used up too much of Silpi's power .
'If I think about it, isn't it obvious?'
The bullet that is shot with the rifle is shot at an incredibly how speed and power .
Even with that power, with the power of the wind it can change the direction of the bullet . This means that Silpi obviously uses up that much power .
Plus the distance is only 41 meters .
If it was a long distance, even if Silpi used a little bit of her power the direction would change greatly . Because the distance was so close it took more strength to move the bullet .
'If the enemy I have to fight is only a couple of them then this is plenty but . . . . . '
14 minutes per shot .
Even if shoot only 8 Silpi's time limit is up . If there are many of them then this is a skill I can fight with .
If I use all the time then I can only summon Silpi again after 10 hours .
This was a skill that had too much penalty .
"There must be another way . "
I sat down and fell into deep thinking .
The magic gun's accuracy was too unstable . How am I suppose to fight with a gun that can't hit a tree that is 41 meters away . Silpi's help was critical .
Not having any good ideas I lifted the magic gun .
While still sitting I put a bullet inside the chamber and aimed at the target tree .
-Meow .
Silpi sat right up next to me and shook her tail lightly .
Thinking about it, most snipers have someone to help with the shooting beside them right?
It was almost like I was the sniper and Silpi was the helper . Of course there is no helper that was cuter than Silpi .
"Silpi, Would it be good to shoot like this?"
-Meow .
Silpi nodded her head .
"Do you think I can hit where the first bullet landed?"
This time she shook her head .
"Then what do I do?"
Silpi came flew into my sight and using her left foot turned the barrel slightly to the left .
"Shoot like this?"
-Meow .
Silpi nodded her head .
'Okay, let's try shooting like this . "
I concentrated to make sure not to sway from the aim that Silpi taught me .
Making sure there wasn't even a small shock I pulled the trigger while stopping my breath .
Tong- pak!
It hit the tree . Silpi seemingly happy ran around in circles on my head . I must have hit the bull's eye .
I ran up to the tree to check .
"Wow!"
The hole was deeper than before .
"This is it!"
This is the way I can shoot a hundred bull's eye without using a lot of Silpi's power!
"Silpi this time I'm going to shoot with my eyes closed . When I pull the trigger adjust the barrel direction for me .
The moment I pulled the trigger, I felt Silpi moving the barrel slightly .
Tong - pak!
Checking again it was another bull's eye . Until now there was only one hole in the tree . This was because all the bullets hit only one point!
Silpi power usage was minimal as well . It's not changing the direction of the bullet that was already shot but adjusting the barrel just before shooting so it doesn't need a lot of strength .
This was the answer .
I didn't need to necessarily aim myself!
"Let's try again!"
"Meow!"
This time carrying the gun I ran at top speed . While running I took out one bullet and put it in the chamber .
"Here goes!"
I jumped with all my strength and while shaking in the air I aimed the gun at the tree .
Obviously my aim was off, but I pulled the trigger .
Tong- pak!
Bull's eye!
"Great!"
I shouted in celebrations with my fist clenched .
This was how I am able to hit a 100 bull's eye in a row . This was a result of Silpi's and the gun's best possible combination .
