After that, Angus chose an empty training area for firing projectile weapons or spells. Looking at the target a dozen meters away, Angus grabs his prototype Magic Gun and begins to check its balance and barrel at incredible speed. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

This action looks very blurry for Jayna and Anna. As they were amazed at such a performance, suddenly Angus took a stance and shot it a few times. *Whosh* *Whosh* *Whosh* However, there is not even a sound heard from the Magic Gun. 

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* Jayna and Anna only hear a whispering sound of the wind that is almost undetected if not for their beastly perception. They know that something is coming out from the Magic Gun and hit the dummy target in the blink of an eye.

"This…" as Jayna is surprised at the speed of the Magic Gun's bullet.

"Hmm… As I thought something was off. No wonder the bullet is slower than I thought." commented Angus.

"S-Slow!!" exclaimed Jayna.

'How can that thing be called slow? It literally is like [Blink]. Is it really a Magic Gun?' thought Jayna while also getting baffled at Angus's comment.

Seeing the surprised Jayna, "Jayna, is anything okay?" asked Angus.

"Eh.. Ahh.. yeah, everything is fine." replied Jayna while recovering her princess behavior.

"Alright, since I will need to create another prototype. I will just try to use its full capability." said Angus.

Before Jayna and Anna could react, *BAAMM* *BAMM* The Magic Gun exploded. At the same time, the ground a few meters away from their location was also scorched black.

On the other hand, Angus covers himself, Jayna, and Anna with a Fire Barrier to protect them from the explosion.

"W-What's that?" exclaimed Jayna.

The explosion happens with the same speed as when Angus tests the gun against the dummy for the first time. It is not only fast, but it even looks like it happens simultaneously.

"Ahh… My bad, I didn't think the Magic Gun would explode. I guess it couldn't bear the load of it." said Angus while scratching his head.

"Angus, I want one!! Give me.. Give me…" asked Anna excitedly before slumping on the ground as she once again lost control over her energy.

"You want one??" asked Angus back.

"Urgghh… Stupid armor. Eh.. Yeah.. give me one." asked Anna.

"How about a big NO." said Angus.

"Ehhh…. Why?? Why??" asked Anna while pouting.

"How about this? If you could beat me while you are wearing that stupid armor, I will personally create the Magic Gun for you." said Angus.

"Really?? You promise?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, promise." replied Angus.

"Pinky promise?!" asked Anna again while giving her pinky.

"Pinky promise." said Angus while entangling his pinky with Anna.

"Now, get up and continue your training while wearing armor." said Angus.

"Alright!!" said Anna excitedly.

After Anna goes away, "Beating you while wearing that armor?? Is that even possible?" asked Jayna.

"Not sure, but probably not in her lifetime." replied Angus.

"Tch.. You are really such a bully." said Jayna.

"Bully?? No. Just imagine what Anna will do when she has this kind of weapon on her side?" asked Angus.

Jayna immediately imagines Anna shooting the dangerous Magic Gun while laughing and screaming, " Die Bubble!! Hahaha.. Burst all of you!!"

"Yeah, that's a bad idea." said Jayna.

"Anyway, is this really only a prototype and not the real thing?" asked Jayna.

"Yeah, as you can see, it still needs a lot of adjustment before it could be truly used." replied Angus.

"Err.. Just what are you going to fight with that kind of weapon? Never mind, My mind already couldn't cope with your absurdness. Just make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands." said Jayna.

"Sure, I will make sure to apply some security on it. In the wrong hands, this thing could even dominate and change the world." said Angus.

"Dominate the world??" asked Jayna back.

Angus didn't say anything else as he is going back to the Smithing facility to create another prototype.

One month passed since Angus first trial of his Magic Gun prototype. During this one month, a Few things happen around the Heart Kingdom. 

First, the extermination squad managed to uncover and catch all the spies from the Nergal Kingdom after deeply interrogating the chief spies that Angus had caught before.

Because of this, now the Nergal Kingdom turned into a passive state since they couldn't know any situation about the Heart Kingdom except a few rumors from the merchant. They didn't know about the military strength of the Heart Kingdom except for some rough guesses. 

Not only the Nergal Kingdom but also most of the kingdoms nearby couldn't understand the Heart Kingdom situation. Hence, the other nation becomes indecisive in going to war with the Heart Kingdom.

In the meantime, during this one month, Angus kept focusing on training Fifth circle spells and perfecting his Magic Gun.

A few weeks ago, Angus's order finally arrived, and he could start creating the Magic Gun with the correct material. However, it turned out his Magic Gun was more complex and complicated than he thought. 

Angus could perfectly build it long ago if it is only creating an ordinary gun. But, Angus is trying to make a Magic Gun that uses mana to empower it. 

Furthermore, he also plans to create some special bullets. In his past life, Angus finds that in terms of piercing the hardest defense, there is no better weapon than the gun itself.

Through many years, humanity has researched many types of armor-piercing bullets. However, what Angus wants to create is not only a piercing bullet. He wants to implement magic into the bullet itself.

Hence, during this past month, Angus has been quite busy in his research and training Fifth-grade spell. Sometimes he even forgets to eat or sleep if Jayna is not called him. Currently, Angus is in a huge dilemma. 

After a few weeks of experimenting, He almost wasted all the rare resources he bought from Ernest. Even though money didn't matter for him, he still wasted like five hundred thousand gold coins worth resources just for his experiment.

Moreover, all of them happen in a few weeks. This expenditure is even greater than when he does the project Homunculus. However, this is a small price to create his Magic Gun. Seeing his material and resources getting low, Angus decides to order Ernest for more resources.

However, he decided to add a few more resources and double the quantity this time. Unfortunately, because some of his items are rare, Angus couldn't procure them as fast as before. Hearing this, Angus didn't have any choice but contact his aunt to purchase his thing.

Fortunately, since he is purchased in bulk, his Aunt Hersha agrees to help him. In fact, Angus feels stupid not to do this in the first place since the minimum order of dealing with the Widespread family merchant is 1 Million gold coins.

By his big purchase alone, he was already more than qualified to use the Widespread family service. Moreover, he also gets a family discount as he is Aunt Hersha's favorite nephew. Still, after looking at the total of payment he needed to pay, his heart began to bleed.

If Angus only needed to pay around five hundred thousand gold coins before, now he needs to spend about two million gold coins. Angus was required to use almost all his money just to pay this kind of money.

However, Angus is satisfied with her mother's family business work. If the Golden Trade needs around one month to gather his previous order. Her Aunt only required two weeks at maximum to procure his current orders, which are many times bigger than his last order.

'It seems I still underestimate the Widespread family network.' thought Angus while sitting in his working room.

All Angus knows is that the Widespread family is an international merchant family dealing with large transactions only. He didn't know anything about the Widespread family and its internal situation since he is part of the Heart Kingdom's noble family.

As an international merchant family, the Widespread family has stringent rules in guarding information, whether it is about the client or their own family. They also could never take sides of any kingdom or nation in Firuman.

When he was young, Angus was quite curious about his mother's family and blatantly asked her how strong the Widespread family was compared to the Victory family. At that time, her mother is not replying clearly and only smiles at him.

Now, Angus begins to understand that with such an extensive network and business, there must be at least many six-grade combatants or a seventh-grade combatant for it to survive all this long. 

Angus decided to create more money while waiting for his order to come. He is not sure if the resources he ordered are enough or not to create the Magic Gun. But, he knows that he will need more resources as he keeps making special bullets.

Hence, he still needs to create more money to cover his supply. Although Angus still has royalty from the Miasma Curing Potion sale that keeps giving him a lot of money every month. It is still not enough to cover his expenses.

For Angus, the best way to produce money is by selling monster parts from the Manual Battle system.. Angus learned from his Aunt that a monster part in very pristine condition could be sold two or three times higher than its regular price.
