My Magical System

Chapter 226: The ranking month

Eman slightly narrowed his eyes. He was surprised to see it.

How come there’s a gun in this world?

He never remembered any soldiers in the palace holding such a weapon, either in the Subjugation or in the Reclamation mission.

So he was certain that guns weren’t an item belonging to this world.

He could even notice the dumbfounded expression on the soldier’s faces when he pulled out an AK47 pistol that time when they fought against demons and bandits.

“Mr. Klau-” before Eman could call him, “No, kid. That thing is called Estebens 555,” Mr. Klaus suddenly corrected him.

“.....”

.....

He fell silent, and thought, ‘Perhaps Mr. Klaus meant to say Stevens 555. It is the name of this shotgun. It’s commonly used for bird hunting.’

‘Well, Stevens 555 is the given name. But this kind of thing is generally known as a gun.’ He wanted to tell him, but Eman decided to keep it for now. It would be bad if he gathered unwanted suspicion.

He could not put his deep secret at risk just for an insignificant thing.

Though, his curiosity could not be put lightly. “I see. Sorry, my bad. Regardless, Mr. Klaus, where did you get this?” He asked, while slightly raising the shotgun.

“Oh, I got it several months ago when an unusual visitor came here asking for a weapon. But since that man had no cash with him. He offered that thing in exchange for a good quality weapon. At first, I was skeptical. But my curiosity won over me. So I ended up agreeing with him.”

“I see. So it’s a trade, huh.”

While Eman said it, his focus was not on it. After hearing Mr. Klaus’ words, he surmised that the unusual visitor must be someone like him. A person from another world. Speaking of a person from another world, there was only one thing that came into his mind, the summoned heroes!

Right.

One of them must be the owner of this gun. However, this item was useless in this world. He was only able to penetrate the enemy using the AK47 pistol because of his Finger Bullet skill which is very compatible with guns. Besides, this gun was commonly used for bird hunting only. So, in a battle, it was a useless thing in this world.

“This is a good item. Is Mr. Klaus trying to imitate it?”

After asking it, Klaus laughed shyly. “Ahaha, you’re keen, huh. Yes, I did,” he laughed shyly. “Come’re, kid,” Klaus asked him to follow him.

Eman grinned secretly before he followed him to one of the corners of the room.

“This...!” He noticed some pieces of materials which he believed were the imitation parts of the gun.

On top of that, they were skillfully copied. He even wondered if those were the real parts of the gun. Looks like Mr. Klaus was trying to mass-produce it.

“Hehe! Surprised?” Mr. Klaus chuckled.

“Sure I am. I never thought Mr. Klaus was this skillful.”

“Fufu.”

Although those parts were still pulled apart, Eman could already see the outcome if they were assembled properly.

Regardless, it was still useless equipment if Mr. Klaus just copied them. In this world of magic, is an item such as a bird-hunting gun worth wasting their time?

Maybe some will take interest in it, but it would never be helpful to the economy, especially to the empire. Can it even kill a low-tier beast? He was doubtful of it.

A thought suddenly came into his mind.

“So, Mr. Klaus...”

Eman told him something interesting and asked a few things. He also asked him if he could make a different variant of it. A gun that could shoot a beam or something like a Railgun. Though, he didn’t go directly to the exact details. He just gave him some hints to avoid getting suspicious. It’s up to him to realize those hints.

Since this world looks like a fantasy world where magical energy existed, he was hopeful that maybe it was possible to create a railgun using magical energy as the bullet, like his Finger Bullet ability.

He noticed Mr. Klaus did a deep pondering. “Give me time to think about it, kid.”

A smile leaked on Eman’s face.

“Sure.”

They left the smithing shop after listing all the materials that he needed for his land reclamation program in his own village.

“Big brother, are we going home now?”

Eina asked him after climbing inside the carriage.

“No, not yet. I have something I need to check first before we go home.”

“Ah, I see.”

He needed to check in the market if they sold fertilizer in this world. Though, chances were slim. But since he wasn’t the only person who was foreign from this world, he had a small hope that maybe one of the summoned heroes already introduced it to this world, even though he knew that the percentage of it happening was low. He wasn’t even sure if they came from the same world.

Now that Eman learned about this world, it wasn’t wrong to assume that there might be other worlds like this world and his previous world.

Hmm, maybe those heroes came from the world with the same agricultural and technological advancement as earth.

But, that gun.

Although Mr. Klaus said it was Estebens 555, Eman was certain that what he meant was Stevens 555. Regardless, could it be possible also that the two worlds had the same product and even their names?

Although he heard about the parallel universe on earth, he didn’t want to jump to a conclusion. Also, it was a very intricate topic and no one had ever proven its authenticity yet.

So Eman didn’t want to assume even though he was now living in a different world.

While they were traveling across the city road, they noticed something unusual.

“Big Brother, there’s a lot of people.”

Eina mentioned it.

He nodded. He also noticed it. They weren’t even in the market yet.

“Wait, I think it’s that time,” Eina suddenly said.

“What is it?” Eman asked his sister.

“The Ranking Month for the great nobles. Uncle Ronny and Aunt Claire told me that around this month, the great noble families will be having a competition.”
