Oswald returned to the academy and reorganized.
The problem was that the Winchester V10 was destroyed. It seemed he had no choice but to contact his family.
Since he had not contacted them once since joining the Vatican, his parents must have been very worried. . . . . .
‘𝘔𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. . . . . . ‘
However, if he were to buy from a store. . . it would be a bit of a waste of money. To be honest, if he told his family, he would be able to get it for free, so was there any need to spend money and buy a weapon made by his family?

It cost a total of 2,380P to open the two stats and raise them to level 20 each.
He then raised the two stats to level 30 at 1,0000P each, and also invested 5,000P each in Spirit and Composure, which were at level 25, to raise them to level 30.
‘𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 10,000𝘗 𝘪𝘯 𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.’
He invested 10,000 in Judgment, which was at level 20, to raise it to level 30. He then invested 1,000P in Empathy to raise it to level 20 and 10,000P in Luck to raise it to level 30.
By the time he was done, he only had 66,620P left. . . . . .
He then invested 200P in Gun Basics to upgrade it to ‘Proficient Gunmanship’ and 1,000P in Bayonet Basics to upgrade it to ‘Proficient Bayonetmanship’.
‘𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵.’
He had previously had many concerns because of his loading speed, and he thought that raising his dexterity would solve this problem.

He eventually invested 11,090P to raise the Dexterity stat to level 30.
‘𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 10,000𝘗 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.’
He also raised the two skills, which were at level 20, to level 30 by investing 10,000P each.
He had about 34,230P left. . . . . .
Since there was nothing else he needed or could buy, he decided to keep it for now.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
Time passed and the second dungeon training exercise began.
Elsa seemed to be much more cooperative than last time. It seemed that the negative score last time had been a big shock.
“I think our team leader should be Oswald here. What do you all think?”
At Alicia’s words, Natasha glanced at Elsa’s expression and nodded. Royman nodded repeatedly, either because he had no thoughts or because he didn’t want to take on the troublesome task.
Three votes in favor in an instant. . . . . . Alicia looked at Elsa last.
“Elsa, what do you think?”
“I’m. . .in favor. . . .”
“What? I can’t hear you.”
Alicia pretended not to understand, her voice as small as an ant’s.
“I said I’m in favor!”
“Good! Then I’ll be counting on you from now on! Leader.”
“. . . . . .”
As the only one who had been awarded the Gold Rank, he had no reason to refuse.
This training dungeon was a labyrinthine dungeon, unlike the last one.
‘𝘈 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘯. . . . . .’
The points would be awarded based on ‘who reaches the boss room first and contributes the most to defeating the boss’.
Of course, there were monsters in between that would give small points, so even if you didn’t contribute to defeating the boss, you wouldn’t have a problem as long as you had points from other monsters you caught in the labyrinth.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
The team members entered the labyrinth through different passages.
As soon as they passed through the gate, they found themselves in a large underground cave with walls and floors on all sides. At least there were white light-emitting artifacts embedded in the ceiling at regular intervals, so there seemed to be no problem with visibility. Of course, the intervals were so long that there were quite a few places where darkness fell.
“Hmm. . . . . .”
As all five team members entered, the gate disappeared as if it had been waiting. Now, the only way to get out of this place was to wait for the dungeon to be cleared, or to go to the boss room and play a big part.
Oswald held two revolvers in his hands.
He had contacted his family. . . but it would take some time, so he had no choice but to stop by a gunsmith. While he was there, he heard the gunsmith say that the Revolver B12 series had just come out, so he took a look. . . . . .
‘𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘶𝘮.’
It was a solid piece made to prevent gas from leaking as much as possible, and to be honest, he wondered if it was even possible to hold it in one hand and shoot it. It was even treated with a piercing magic enchantment, and was being sold as a weapon for killing large monsters.
Since it was equipped with a silver-grade magic stone, the enchantment magic circle was always active. It was an incredibly expensive, high-class firearm because it had an additional enchantment that allowed it to recharge its own magic power.
‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦.’
Just firing it would deal a major blow to even a normal monster. Even though it was a pistol, the recoil was comparable to that of a rifle like the Winchester.
In short, it meant that an ordinary person would barely be able to hold it with two hands and shoot it, and their accuracy would be terrible because of the recoil.
If anyone would buy this, it would probably be musketeers. musketeers who could surround a target with bullets would be able to appreciate the value of a magnum.
‘𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘐 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘣𝘶𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 ‘𝘋𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴’ 𝘢𝘯𝘥 ‘𝘎𝘶𝘯 𝘒𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴’. . . . . .’
He had raised both of them to the proficient level by spending over 2,000P each.
Anyway, the formation was set up. . . and they began to move forward with Elsa, the tanker, in the lead. Unlike before, she was determined to do her part, her eyes wide with determination.
‘𝘑𝘦𝘦𝘻, 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. . . .’
That’s why she was only looking forward. Normally, a tank should be checking all around them to eliminate any threats in advance, but. . .it seemed like it would be difficult to expect that from Elsa right now.
Just then, his level 30 Perception picked up a sound. His level 30 Judgment immediately deemed it as dangerous and suggested that it be eliminated.
Oswald checked the location where the noise was detected using his level 30 vision. . . There, a giant bat was hanging from a stalactite on the ceiling, staring at him.
He immediately tilted his two pairs of pistols at 45 and 135 degrees, respectively, and aimed them at the giant bat in the distance. As his aiming level rose to 30, the aiming line extended further and further, reaching the end of the giant bat.
Tang! Tang!
With a muffled gunshot, the magnum’s cylinder revolved, firing two powerful bullets. A heavy shock traveled through his hands, up his wrists, elbows, and shoulders, but his solid 40-level strength didn’t budge.
The two bullets that flew along the aiming line pierced the giant bat’s skull, and it soon lost strength and fell to the floor.
Kwoong!
Elsa was surprised by the sudden gunfire, but soon her tongue lolled out as she heard something heavy falling in the distance.
‘𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵. . . 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺?’
In an instant, Oswald’s score increased by 10 points. It seemed that large monsters were worth a lot of points.
“Let’s keep moving forward.”
Soon, Oswald discovered a swarm of vampire bats and immediately ordered everyone to be on alert.
“A swarm of vampire bats is flying 100m ahead. Elsa! Use your Taunt Skill if you have one! Natasha! Cast a fire resistance spell on Elsa! Alicia! Use your fire magic to wipe out the vampire bats!”
Soon, something like a black cloud appeared in front of them, swarming towards them.
“Uoooooo!”
Elsa shouted at the vampire bats in a small voice. It was the Taunt Skill that was mainly used by the barbarian warriors, but she was using it with the small voice of a woman.
The bats that were hit by the Provoke shout instantly started to rush towards Elsa.
“Fire Cloak!”
Hwaruruk!
A fire magic circle was created in Natasha’s hand, and soon a similar fire magic circle was formed above Elsa’s head. Soon, a flame cloak began to wrap around her shoulders. That flame cloak would allow her to withstand Alicia’s high-powered magic that would soon be unleashed.
“Dual Flamethrower!”
Hwarururuk!
Soon, fire magic circles formed on the palms of Alicia’s hands, and soon hot flames radiated from the magic circles, engulfing Elsa and the vampire bats around her in an instant.
Kuoooooooo!
Her magical attack continued for a long time, and by the time all the vampire bats had turned to dust, Alicia canceled her magic.
“Wow, it’s hot. . . . . .”
Thanks to the flame cloak, Elsa had not taken much damage, but she was sweating profusely.
‘𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 0.1 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭?’
That meant that Elsa, who had provoked the bats, got 0.01 points per kill, and Natasha got 0.05 points per kill.

[𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐧: 𝟎 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬]
‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘺.’
Then, Oswald came to his first fork in the road.
He decided to trust the intuition that had developed as his Senses level increased. What’s more, his Luck level was 30. At this level, it might be better to move by trusting his intuition. . . . . .
‘𝘚𝘰, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘰?’
Soon, his senses sent him a strange signal, and it was to the right.
“We’re going right.”
Fortunately, they were able to move forward without encountering any traps or other difficulties.
Kwooroorooo! Kwooroorooo!
Soon, three cave trolls jumped out.
For ordinary academy students, this would have been a difficult level, but. . . Imperius Academy was not for students, but for cadets. That meant they were on a different level from ordinary academy students.
Of course, there were some who had only paid money to get in, but. . . most of them had outstanding abilities.
“Dual-Layered Fire Explosion!!”
Kwakwang!
The three trolls were swept away by the powerful explosion. Oswald finished off the ones that didn’t die and were trying to regenerate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Powerful large-caliber bullets hit the heads of the three trolls, and they instantly lost their lives.
After finishing off the trolls and proceeding further, they easily passed several forks in the road and soon met another team at the next three forks.
And it was Gilgamesh’s team. . . . . .
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
“Dammit. . . . . .”
“Are you okay, Lyman-gong?”
“Hoo. . . . . . I’m fine, my love.”
“Who is it? Who could have done this to you?”
“A lapdog of Chronos. It seems that a very great guy was born as a lapdog this time.”
“How dare. . . to do this to my Lyman-gong. . . I will never forgive him.”
“My love, I will accept your revenge in my heart.”
“But. . . . . .”
“If I let someone as noble as you get involved in such a bloody affair, I don’t think I can bear it.”
“Ah. . . . . . Lyman-gong, you’re truly. . . .”
“My love, I will definitely make you an empress.”
“I don’t care if I’m not an empress. As long as I have Lyman-gong by my side. . . . . .hyaꨄ”
After a while, the two of them began to make love passionately.
After the passionate moment was over, Lyman came outside and gave instructions to the black-hooded man standing beside him.
“How is Sin doing?”
“After the liberal revolutionaries’ shipyard was destroyed, it seems like he’s decided to give Plan B a try.”
“Tsk, ever since that lapdog of Chronos came to the capital, things have been going wrong.”
“I will look into that matter.”
“Have you still not found that swordsman?”
“I apologize. . . . . .”
“Well, it wouldn’t be easy to find a guy who’s wearing a mask. Still, he’s a Platinum Knight-level fighter. There’s no way such a strong guy wouldn’t be known. Look into people with shadow-related abilities.”
“Yes, I understand.”
