I'm The Only One With Cancer-Chapter 149: Adara’s Training II

"Hm, are you sure about that?"

"Yes."

"Then we’ll start."

Adara nodded her head upon seeing his sure expression, "Remember, hot weapons are different from cold weapons. Unlike swords and the like, guns are lethal no matter who wields them. Guns are separated into two main categories: Mana and Ballistic.

Mana Guns use your own mana reserve to either form a bullet to shoot or shoot out a blast instead. On the other hand, Ballistic Guns shoot out ready-made projectiles from their own magazines.

Oh, and by the way, do you have guns in your homeworld?"

"Yes, Aunt Ada," Zen responded with a nod.

"Then that makes it simple."

Adara smiled before glancing at Arthur, "I was planning to take my time teaching you, but your teacher’s offer made me decide otherwise."

’Hey, why am I being affected by both of your gambling tendencies!?’

Zen protested in his mind, but felt helpless as he nodded, "Understood."

"Could it be that..." Arthur sensed something amiss.

Adara smirked, "Deadman, I’ll give you until noon to shoot with every weapon towards that target. Once you assume your position, I will use a scroll to distort the space, turning the distance between you and the target into one thousand kilometres.

Furthermore, you need to empty the magazines of ballistic guns and shoot a hundred rounds with mana guns. Every shot must hit the bullseye, meaning that not one bullet from the magazine, and not one shot from your hundred rounds with the mana gun, should miss the target.

Everything must be done consecutively. If you miss, you must start over with a new magazine; the same goes for mana guns.

Furthermore, there would also be obstacles and interference that would try to mess with your aim, along with the fact that in the last ten shots, the target will start to move as well."

’Impossible...’ Zen swallowed forcefully as he tried his best to process everything she said.

’With my stats, doing that should be possible, albeit with some practice, but...’

However, Adara would not even give him the chance to practice with the time pressure boring him.

Arthur could not help but speak, "Hey, isn’t that unfair?"

"Bleh!"

Adara stuck out her tongue before explaining, "Heh, you told me to teach him the way I wanted and even agreed that you won’t interfere! Don’t worry, I’ll still tell him how each gun works. And if he did not finish before noon, I’ll be teaching him normally then."

"B-But..."

"No buts! This is what you get for flicking my forehead earlier!"

It was the first time Zen heard his teacher stammering, making him feel satisfied.

Adara looked at him with a gentle smile, "Don’t worry, my nephew, just take your time~"

"No! My precious apprentice! Please don’t turn your back on your teacher! I promise I’ll give you more rewards!" Arthur felt cornered.

Zen had a convinced expression on his face, "Really?"

"I’ll double what he gives." Adara simply spoke.

Arthur glared at her, "You can’t do that!"

"Then don’t stoop so low as to bribe him."

"Argh!" Arthur felt wronged.

Seeing his teacher’s expression, Zen felt lighthearted.

"It seems like you have decided?" Adara looked at him with a smile.

Zen nodded, "Yes, Aunt Ada. Please use the scroll."

"Oho?"

"I know it’s impossible, but I would still like to try."

Hearing his apprentice’s word, Arthur felt like tearing up, "My apprentice!"

Adara smiled sweetly as a scroll appeared in her hand and turned into light blue particles as the space they were in seemed to tremble.

[Space Distortion]

She looked at Zen and said, "The ballistic gun you chose is an assault rifle. It has a high fire rate..."

Adara told him everything about the gun, such as its magazine capacity, recoil, and other aspects of the gun.

Zen made sure to remember every word she said, his hands moving in sync with her instructions as he flicked off the gun’s safety and inspected it while she explained what to check to avoid malfunctions.

Even though the Free World was a world of fantasy and magic, its development in the field of engineering and other aspects was somewhat similar to Earth’s.

In fact, because of mana, which was infinitely better than fossil fuels, the Free World’s technology could even be said to be more advanced.

Only that it still retained its medieval theme.

On the side, Arthur also listened as he made sure that she was not intentionally missing key details that may lead to his apprentice’s failure.

His focus was so intense to the point that the cup of milk in his hand had already turned cold— something that would never get past him in normal times.

However, he felt extreme pressure at this moment.

After all, Arthur had risked his very being just to secure an important opportunity for Zen.

’But, looking at how things are going...’

He involuntarily glanced at Adara as he felt fear in his heart, ’She’s too vicious! I must never let my guard down!’

Unfortunately, he already did.

At this moment, as soon as Adara finished speaking, Zen immediately raised the assault rifle in his hand and fired a round.

Bang—!

Bullseye!

The bullet from the assault rifle cut through the air with a sound as it flawlessly hit the center of the target.

A moment later, the target recovered as the hole regenerated by itself.

’Beginner’s luck.’

Adara smiled inwardly.

It was not that she was against Zen’s improvement; it was just that her focus on winning the bet temporarily affected her attitude as a result of her intense competitiveness.
