Magic High School.

Valerie: Although I emotionally believe that armor is better, I'd still go with the gun. However, if I had the chance, I'd like to switch to a more suitable large shield.

Li Ge: ...

Li Ge: Oh, and don't touch the sunflowers outside my dorm. I'll check on them when I get back.

Chapter 29 Injury my ass

Ultimately, everyone agreed that the gun was better, firstly because the team lacked long-range firepower, and secondly because Li Ge's shooting score was exceptionally high, ranking seventh in the entire school.

The significance of ranking seventh in the entire school is immense, considering all the upperclassmen and alumni who stayed after graduation. Even so, Li Ge's seventh-place ranking demonstrates just how outrageous his "X-ray vision" is.

Although Li Ge had also thought about customizing a set of armor, normally it was just a belt. As long as he patted the belt and shouted "hensin" or "armor combination", he could transform into Kamen Rider and perform a Rider Kick or Flame Nawa.

However, it's highly likely that after obtaining the armor, Li Ge won't be in the front line and will mostly just gather dust. After much thought, he decided to switch to a better magic gun.

Soon, Li Ge arrived at the logistics department, handed over the vice principal's order, and then saw a scruffy-bearded... dwarf.

Li Ge felt like he had seen the world again today. He had seen morph elves and real elves before, and he had also seen orcs in the training ground, but they were only the kind with a few parts of their ears and tails that were beast-like. Now he had even seen dwarves.

When he sees angels and demons again, he will have basically seen all kinds of different races.

"I have a feeling you're talking badly about me behind my back." The dwarf master looked at Li Ge with ill intent.

Although he is less than 1.3 meters tall, he probably needs to stand on a stool to be as tall as Li Ge.

Looks like I've met a "master" today.

"That's definitely not possible, Master. I'd like to have a custom-made magical weapon. I'd like a magical gun, preferably one that even a level 1 mage can use smoothly, with low energy consumption, and one that increases spiritual power supply to enhance output." Li Ge detailed his requirements to the dwarf one by one.

"You've got a lot of demands, kid," the dwarf said bluntly. "But we've done something similar before, just a few minor modifications and we'll make a pistol for you. By the way, any requirements regarding enchantments?"

"Enchantment?" Li Ge was taken aback.

"That old bastard Moriarty didn't even explain this?" The dwarf master snorted. "Fine, what effect do you want? Rapid reloading? Elemental enhancement?"

"Forehead……"

"Alright, just give me a general idea of ​​what you want, and I'll pick an enchantment for you."

"Then... auto-aiming? Bullet lock-on? One-shot kill... can you do those?" Li Ge asked tentatively.

“Nothing else will do. Bullet lock-on? You mean auto-tracking? That should work.” He picked up a piece of runic metal, blew on it, and said, “Come back in seven days to collect your pistol. Now, leave your handprint and contact information, then get lost and don’t interrupt my inspiration!”

"Forehead……"

Li Ge added the old dwarf as a friend. The dwarf's account showed that his name was "Miracle Aiger" and that he could pick up the goods in 7 days.

Although those dwarves have terrible tempers, they're incredibly fast and efficient. Li Ge thought that if it was a custom order, it wouldn't arrive until at least before the monthly exam.

Since things have come to this, let's go back to the dorm and check if there's anything wrong with our sunflower wall.

Chang Gong, that scoundrel, was very shrewd. Instead of directly poisoning Li Ge, he chose to pass by Li Ge's dormitory, pretended not to know her, and then carried a bottle of water with him to water the vegetables inside.

Fortunately, the outermost area of ​​Lige was full of sunflowers, which were not yet ripe, so they wouldn't eat them for the time being.

However, he may have been hoping that the school wouldn't pursue the matter and that he could simply say "I don't know" to get away with it.

However, he did not expect that the school's executive department had been watching him all along, and when they saw him actually take out the bottle to put the drug in, they subdued him instantly.

However, these threats must also be eliminated.

When he returned, he found that the row of sunflowers in front of his house had been removed and replaced with new soil.

Only a few sunflowers remained, drooping listlessly.

Without a doubt, this was definitely done by the school, or even by a senior student from the executive department who took it back and handed it over to the research department.

Immediately, Li Ge said something in the team group chat.

Li Ge: I ordered a magic gun with a tracking function, it will arrive in 7 days.

Xiaoye: Oh, the monthly exams are coming up soon. Once your magical weapon arrives, let's try it out together and try to get good results in this combat-related monthly exam.

Yilian: Right now I'm the only one in the group who doesn't have any equipment... How did you guys get your magical weapon equipment?

Valerie: It's hereditary.

Xiaoye: Stolen.

Yilian: @Xiaoye, I also want a magical weapon. How about you go home after the monthly exam and take me with you? Let's steal another magical weapon together.

Xiaoye: I suggest you find a volcano and jump off. If you're going to die, don't drag me down with you.

Valerie: I can't get one either. Why don't you save up and have one custom-made?

Yilian: 1000 points, how long am I supposed to keep selling information like this...?

The group chat instantly filled with jokes and all sorts of silly banter, creating a joyful atmosphere.

They were probably still at the training ground, but Li Ge looked at the few sunflowers that were still wilting and recalled with lingering fear the label that Senior Chang Gong had shown her before.

Meme contamination... immortality...

He sensed a conspiracy and danger, but the school clearly withstood it all without affecting their normal lives.

The school has protected them too well, even a little too well.

He glanced at the campus forum, and while casually browsing, he suddenly came across a post.

Rumor has it that a miracle drug has recently appeared that can temporarily boost grades?

……

Meanwhile, in the vice principal's office.

The vice principal, who had been all smiles and a friendly demeanor when facing Li Ge, now had a completely different face, exuding an imposing and oppressive aura.

"Headmaster, this clue has been a huge help. We've found the source of this potion. It can gradually twist people into meme monsters, but it does grant immortality..."

"Even immortality!"

The words of the senior student in military uniform made the vice principal's face even uglier.

"Very well, my students have become their guinea pigs. Very well, I haven't seen such reckless fools in a long time... Heh." He sneered and continued, "Have you found out who it is?"

"We have a lead. We've tracked down a traitorous high priest of the Order of God, but once we get to this point, which involves the Order of God, we can't investigate any further..." The senior in military uniform seemed a little embarrassed.

"I'll handle this. If the Church of Order doesn't want us to investigate, then I'll have to have a serious talk with the current Pope." The vice principal seemed completely unconcerned about the Church of Order, his eyes blazing with fury.

"There's one more thing. When we investigated the Cult of Order, the head of the Department of Mysticism told me to stop investigating. They said they would communicate with the Cult of Order and obtain joint arrest authorization."

"Get those people from that mysterious school out of here. I'm going to handle this. Unless the God of Order descends directly, anyone who dares to interfere is my enemy." The vice principal stood up, the flames in his eyes seemingly impossible to extinguish.

"Principal, wouldn't this be too hurtful to the mystical school?" the senior in military uniform said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Injury my ass!"

Chapter 30 The Spear of Benevolence and the Spear of Righteousness, The Ace Joker

The next few days were spent being driven around by the Jeep every day.

The morning is for theoretical lessons, learning how to unite with one's Noble Phantasm. The afternoon is for practical training. Recently, Li Ge has started to abandon escape training and focus on gravity training and shooting training.

At the same time, they also have to go through a lot of team combat training every day. The opponent is still the same Autobot in the jeep. After such a long period of confrontation, the students in the class have become familiar with the Autobot's attack methods. They are no longer being crushed by the Autobots and rolling on the ground in chaos. At least they know how to escape.

The Innocents Squad can even engage the Autobots in a brief exchange, though their escape isn't quite as abstract.

Wait for me, wait for my gun, I'm going to defeat the Jeep monster!

He trained diligently every day, and soon his gun arrived.

Today is still God's Sunday, and the students on holiday are having a blast.

The atmosphere inside the school is actually quite intense. For example, there's that senior student, Chang Gong, who was so addicted to drugs that he couldn't handle the academic pressure and tried to cheat with magic potions. After being caught by the school, he's probably now the research department's scavenger material.

The pressure of equalizing grades, the pressure of the dormitory grading system, and the pressure of consecutive monthly exams, midterms, and finals—it really does feel like senior year of high school.

However, unlike my previous life when I was in my final year of high school, the school did not crack down on early relationships. In fact, it encouraged students to date freely, and even allowed married couples to retain their student status and take a leave of absence.

As for potions, after that, the matter seemed to have completely passed. Any posts discussing potions on the forum would be deleted instantly, and then the administrator issued an announcement.

The gist of it was a ban on taking any medications without the school's authorization, with violators facing demerits. It also discussed the dangers of drug abuse, such as making heads pointy, eggs smaller than acorns, and other identifiable side effects, in an attempt to prevent the drug from being spread privately.

As for the specific effects, Li Ge didn't know, but he guessed that there would still be people who wanted those kinds of potions that could temporarily boost their abilities, just like how in his previous life, even though people knew that ice was a bad thing, there were still people who wanted to try it.

Early this morning, Li Ge swaggered off to the logistics department to retrieve his gun.

Just as the vice principal said, shooting is only a means of self-defense. Therefore, Li Ge only sees this gun as a transitional piece of equipment. Once he reaches a certain level of strength, around the time he becomes a level 3 mage and can release spiritual energy, this item will be phased out.

However, according to Professor Ye Shi, the third level is already a stage that many fourth-year students can only dream of, and that will be a long time from now.

“Master Aiger, I’m here to collect my gun!” Li Ge went straight to his dwarf master, who was currently engraving magical runes.

Although the dwarf had a rather irritable temper, Li Ge actually found him quite easy to get along with. That's just how dwarves are; if you give him some wine, he won't glare at you.

Li Ge didn't hesitate and immediately pulled out a bottle of wine that he bought for 2 points, which was already a pretty good drink for a student like him.

“My name is Amazing Egg, that’s my full name.” The old dwarf said, glancing at the wine Li Ge had brought over, a slight smile playing on his lips. “You’re not bad, kid. You’ve got a knack for it. If there’s a chance to customize something next time, I can add some even better ingredients for you.”

"That's great." Li Ge handed over the wine bottle.

The old dwarf didn't stand on ceremony at all, and immediately unscrewed the bottle and started chugging it down. Then he took out a briefcase from behind him.

"Here's your gun, a pistol that can 'lock on the head.' Once injected with magic, it can generate six psionic bullets. The higher the amount of psionic power injected, the greater the power. It can also combine six psionic bullets into one, unleashing a shot that reaches speeds of more than ten times the speed of sound," the old dwarf explained, then opened the briefcase.

The next moment, an incredibly futuristic revolver appeared before my eyes. Its entire body was a striking black and white color scheme, with sharp geometric lines cutting out futuristic angles on the gun body. The staggered white segmented patterns on the barrel resembled frozen lightning, while the cylinder was predominantly pure white, fitting perfectly with the black gun frame.

In an instant, Li Ge was captivated by its appearance.

Not to mention the gun's capabilities as described by the old dwarf.

The next moment, when he gripped the gun handle, it fit perfectly in his palm, feeling incredibly comfortable, as if the gun was made just to suit him.

He twirled the gun and then injected the minimum amount of spiritual energy into it.

In an instant, one-third of the temporary spiritual power in his body disappeared, and six beams of light lit up directly in the wheel.

In other words, he can fire a maximum of 18 shots with it.

He aimed directly at the target and fired instantly.

"boom!"

The crisp, pleasant gunshot was exhilarating, and the recoil was very low and perfectly acceptable. After firing, only five streaks of light remained in the cylinder.
