Chapter 120 - Making Preparations



"Okay so is this guy a martial artist or not?" 

"There is no information regarding that in his file, so I\'m unsure, but if I have to guess, usually people in the assassin business would destroy all information about their pasts. So even if he is a martial artist he wouldn\'t be a registered one. Still, since he\'s someone that could kill a genius rank five martial artist, that could have entered the decade tournament, then I think he should be a martial artist. I can\'t imagine a normal person even with a booster could keep up with a martial artist of that level." 

"Ok then do you have any information on what kind of gun is this Scorpion of his?" 

"Oh, that one was easier to find info on. The Scorpion is a customized Barrett M82, the customizations made were of course to deal with Martial Artists. The Barrett M82 by itself could already kill lower-ranked Martial Artists but after its modification, it was reported that it could even harm someone on the Grandmaster rank." 

When Loki heard that this weapon could harm Grandmasters he remembered the two Grandmasters he recently met. The power of the Grandmaster rank in this world was similar to a knight commander from his previous world or a three-star mage. In his current state, the only way he could win against someone of the Grandmaster rank was if he combines his mana and inner energy. Even then he would need a lot of luck to win. 

He then remembered the young man he fought during the attack on the Martial Arts Department. If not for his vastly superior battle experience, using tricks and his bloodlust as feints he would\'ve already died on that day. 

"As for the specifics of the modification, there is no information regarding that. Still, we could assume the basic anti-martial-artist modifications have been applied. That would mean the distance the bullet could travel and its velocity should\'ve been doubled. There should also be something similar to a silencer added to it that even the ears of well-trained martial artists wouldn\'t hear."

"Hmm... Hey, do you know any way for me to experience using such a weapon?" 

"Of course, I do. As long as you have the cash almost anything is possible. So you want to buy a modified Barrett M82?" 

"Yeah, how much would it be?" 

"I guess twenty thousand should suffice." 

"Alright, I\'ll hand you the money tomorrow."

Currently, Loki wasn\'t short of cash, since some of the clients he dealt with had given him quite the sum of money. Of course, he didn\'t ask for the money but some of the people he helped insisted on giving him some. So now Loki had a small fortune on his hands. 

"Sure, I\'m going to order the modified Barrett M82 right now, do you want to customize it yourself?" Loki shook his head before answering. 

"No need, I don\'t have any idea about things like that... Hmm, now that I think about it, can you also find someone that could teach me how to use that rifle as well as other assortments of guns." 

"Sure, but that\'s going to cost you more, is that alright?" 

"You already know that I don\'t have any problem with money, just tell me the price." 

"Alright, I\'ll contact you once I find a teacher for you." 

"Thanks," the two then started talking more about the assassin and after some other small talk, Loki left Harold\'s house. 

...

A day after Loki and Harold had their conversation regarding buying the rifle, Loki received the Barrett M82 in a package there was even a gun license attached to it.

\'That kid really is thorough. I owe him so much now... I wonder what I should give him to show my appreciation?... I\'ll just think about that later, for now, let me check out this sniper rifle.\'

Loki brought the package to his room, and when he got the entire rifle out he noticed that it wasn\'t assembled. He started rummaging through the box looking for some sort of instruction manual. He was already expecting that there wasn\'t going to be such a thing but to his surprise there really was one. Loki did a quick scan of the supposed manual and at the end of the manual, he saw a handwritten message.

\'I figured that you wouldn\'t have any idea on how to assemble this, so I took the time to make this manual for you. I, of course, got the information from various sources I found on the internet. Do not worry everything in the manual is reliable. Harold :)\' 

After Loki was done reading that part he couldn\'t help but sigh as he shook his head. 

"That kid really is thorough." 

Since it was Sunday today both Alisa and Liam were out hanging with their friends so he was the only one at home. Loki then decided to dedicate this entire day to studying his new modified Barrett M82.

The first thing Loki did was read the manual Harold made for him. The manual was quite easy to understand even for a layman such as himself. After reading the entire thing, Loki checked each part of the modified Barrett M82 to see if there was something missing. 

Once he was done double-checking everything Loki started to assemble the modified Barrett M82. Since it was his first time with such a weapon, Loki was very curious. He has already seen numerous guns when he goes out as Fade and knew that each gun was different from one another.

The variety of weapons in this new world was more so than his previous one, which focuses more on weapons with mana, which was just usually a sword or a staff, there were also the lesser-known mana weapons such as Loki\'s favorite wires, and needles, there was also the whip which was the least used weapon. As he was assembling the modified Barrett M82 Loki had a sudden thought. 

\'Is it possible to make this modified Barrett M82 into a mana weapon?... Of course, with my limited knowledge, I won\'t be able to do it, but I\'m sure that the so-called Spirit of the Akashic Records should know more about it. I hope that it still retains its memories regarding Enchantment and smithing.\' Loki decided to ask the so-called Spirit when he meets Michael tomorrow

...

After Loki was done assembling the modified Barrett M82 he disassembled it and reassembled it, he did this numerous times until he felt satisfied with the speed of his disassembling and reassembling. 

Loki then held his new rifle and felt that the modified Barrett M82 was rather light, if possible he wanted it to be a little heavier. Then he placed his finger at the trigger itching to pull it. He wanted to test out his new weapon but was, in the end, able to hold himself back. He knew that firing the modified Barrett M82 in his room was a bad idea but he really wanted to pull the trigger. Loki then quickly disassembled the modified Barrett M82 so that he would no longer be tempted to pull the trigger. 

\'I better test this out with someone that actually knows how to use it. I\'ll just wait for Harold\'s news on that instructor.. For now, I\'ll just prepare some other things for that assassin that wants my head.\'
