A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: News of Other Bravehearts

I looked up and saw that most of the sketch in the president’s hand had been blacked out by charcoal. The blank part were the magic pistols I had created. They looked very lifelike.

“It’s the magic I used, President. Is there a problem?”

I asked with some trepidation. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Sephone was also looking at me nervously.

“No problem, but I think I’ve seen something similar before.”

President Leah put down the picture and lowered her eyelids slightly. Her red eyes seemed to remember something.

Something similar?!

I was shocked. Guns only existed in my previous life. It was impossible for such things to appear in the world of magic.

If the President had really seen such an object, it must have been created by another soul chosen by the goddess.

I wanted to ask where the President had seen it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. Being too eager would arouse suspicion, especially in front of this group of elites. Not only could I not ask, but I had to pretend to be puzzled.

“President, you’ve actually seen this object before? Where did you see it?”

Angelina took the sketch from the President and asked the question I wanted to ask the most.

“Two years ago, when I was fighting monsters in the north, a student from the Kingdom of Sivir took out a longer stick and shot a pellet that pierced through the stomach of a magical beast. At that time, I was curious, but I didn’t have the chance to ask, so I let it go. Today, I heard about the shape of Will’s magic creation. The reason why I said they were similar is because this is the only aspect where they are identical.”

President Leah pressed down on the paper that Angelina had swiped over and raised it to towards me again.

I looked at the spot where Leah’s finger was and was no longer suspicious. Because that spot was the trigger.

In my previous life, apart from some heavy machine guns with different triggers, almost all light firearms had triggers of the same shape.

“Will, since you’ve learned magic about this objection, you should know the principle of shooting bullets after it’s made into a physical object, right?”.

President Leah asked again.

In the Student Council Room, everyone’s eyes were focused on me. Only Sephone’s eyes were filled with some concern.

“President, can you explain the object you saw more clearly?”

I asked.

If I asked how the gun worked,

the appearance of the gun had changed a lot since its inception, from the matchlock to the flintlock to the semi-automatic and automatic rifles. I didn’t dare to jump to conclusions just from the description of a ‘longer stick’. “Hmm-“

President Leah pondered for a moment and took out another piece of paper from the long table to draw.

A moment later, the sketch of a single-shot flintlock appeared on the paper. The huge flintlock was too obvious, allowing me to see its structure at a glance.

It seemed that this Braveheart chosen by the Goddess only knew a little about guns.

It could be said that a flintlock gun could be forged as long as one saw it once and knew the workings of gunpowder. In this world of swords and magic, it was easy to forge a seamless steel pipe using magic. “If it’s in this shape, then I think I do. And I can replicate it. Maybe it’ll be even more advanced than this is.”

I have enough confidence.

From a tethered gun a century ago in my previous life to a semi-automatic and full-automatic firearm, I knew many types of guns and knew them like the back of my hand. I even remembered every part clearly. After all, this was my daily routine for most of my free time.

“That’s great! Will, can I ask you to create one?”

President Leah’s eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

“No problem, President, but let me say this first. I will only make one, with five bullets, because this object does not work better than magic for us. However, once this object is spread, it can allow a weak child to easily take someone’s life from 10 meters away.”

My gaze lightly swept past the five people present and finally landed on the President.

A long-barreled gun.

In addition, everyone could experience the feeling of shooting once. “No problem! I can guarantee that this object will definitely not spread out before that object in the Kingdom of Sivir is popularized.”

President Leah agreed without hesitation.

Clearly, the flintlock of the Kingdom of Sivir had left a deep impression on the President. The reason why she was so bothered was also because she considered the threat posed by this neighboring country.

“I need to buy some materials outside the academy to make this object. In a month, I’ll bring the completed rifle to you.”

“So the official name of this long stick is a rifle. This is your freedom. After all, this is merely my personal request. I’m already very happy that you would accept it. When you bring it over, I’ll pay you enough.” “Thank you, President.”

“You’re welcome. Sit down too. From today onwards, our Student Council will have seven people again, Evelyn.”

President Leah smiled and invited us to sit down, calling to the Registrar at the side.

Evelyn, the Registrar, immediately got up and walked over to us. She handed us two forms and a quill pen that she had already prepared.

“Just fill it in briefly. Although there isn’t much use for this, we still have to report to the academy committee that the Student Council has increased their manpower.”

President Leah briefly explained the reason.

Sephone and I quickly filled out the form for recording basic identity information and handed it over.

“Oh~ 10 years old, 11 years old. You guys are really young. Alright, Sephone and Will, go prepare for the official admission first. I’ll inform you when the Student Council has an event after you officially enroll.”

President Leah casually glanced at the forms Sephone and I had filled out and spoke in a slightly teasing tone.

“Alright, then we’ll leave first. Goodbye, everyone.”

“Goodbye.”

After saying goodbye to the members of the Student Council, Sephone I walked out of the room.

From the fifth floor to the first floor, neither she nor I spoke first.

Sigh.

And it was because Angelina had opened her mouth without any regard for the occasion.

“Um, Will, are you really 10 years old…”

“Mm, yes.”

I looked at the suddenly shy Sephone and answered definitely.

In the world of my previous life, there was the saying of virtual age. As long as I passed my ninth birthday, it was completely fine to say that I was 10 years old.

In this life, I had already passed my ninth birthday.

“Phew~ It’s alright, it’s alright. He’s only a year younger than me. This should be fine…”

Sephone heaved a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and muttered to herself.

“Sephone, what are you saying should be fine?”

“Ah?! No! I didn’t! Will is a big baddie!!!”

Sephone’s face suddenly turned red. She covered her face and ran away.

I was left in a daze.
