I Became A System

Chapter 127 - Ellena's Story

Verxal already had a plan with Ellena on how they would handle the commander. They wanted to extract some information from the commander, so the HQ was involved with it. Well, they had no choice but to intervene since the same organization attacked the test and caused a ruckus. It is obviously their job to settle.

After a few conversations about how excited Verxal was about fighting Ellena in a few days, Ellena simply smiled at him and conversed in a way that allowed her to easily leave the place. When they were done, Ellena was asked to have dinner, but she just declined.

Verxal wasn't a pushover, so he just willingly accepted Ellena's sentiments.

We left the mansion and went straight to the inn. There, they prepared to take a lunch together. Well, it's already past 2 pm, and it's too late for lunch, so they just ordered in the inn's diner and made a separate payment for their lunch.

"It still feels surreal, Master. The way you defeated him, he was even a high-ranking CC rune owner!" Rosellete excitedly said, with her cheeks uncontrollably raised with her smile.

"Rosellete, don't talk about it here. Shh..." Selena whispered as she hushed Rosellete too.

Ellena just snickered and shook her head. "It's okay. Things will be settled anyway." Ellena said as she started to receive the trays from a staff member of the inn.

"So, Rosellete, do you have any questions? I am willing to answer everything since I don't need to hide things," she added.

I know what Ellena's feeling right now. Now that she can finally open things up to everyone, she won't be burdened by her secrets anymore. However, since we are still in public, I must let her know to be careful. Or maybe she already knew that?

"Then, Master, how did you have plenty of abilities? You're a multi-ability user?"

Ellena just shook her head and showed her rune.

"Can you see my rune? This is the reason why I have plenty of abilities. This is Aaron and the Aaron I introduced that I said is part of my ability. "

All of them showed an excited expression. They were like children, awing simultaneously from the story of their parents. Well, they were just clueless earlier, and now that Ellena is starting to give them some enlightenment, I bet their blood is thrilled at the moment.

Ellena continued explaining things. As the three were occupied with awing, Ellena explained thoroughly how she could have different abilities. From fear points, and also the hardships we encounter just to have the position she has right now. It wasn't anything historical, but it was exciting enough to be called an important page in our lives.

When the story of Ellena was finally finished, Selena spoke. "So that Shadow Hero in Azmar was you?"

"Yes, it was the first vigilante scheme I did and also the most cringy thing in my life."

"What do you mean cringy, Master?" Rosellete asked.

"Do you like being called Shadow Hero? It's the worst I've heard. Second was the 'The Masked Monster'."

And thus, the conversation ended with Ellena complaining about the unnecessary nicknames she received from the mass. Albeit, it was helpful.

I am curious about how I can make a gun. I was thinking of making a gun after I had a physical body, but I felt like it was futile. We still have much to do and threats are unending, I'm sure. Ellena needs a distance-secured weapon.

We can't depend on the lightning or the sword. Though it will be helpful since she has learned some sword techniques, what will happen if she depletes her stamina? She won't be able to defend herself.

And so... I decided to create a production technique. Maybe this way I can create it with the help of a production rune owner.

I can just gift the maker, right? I mean, I saw a gun and it was from Verxal. Maybe we can find some in this place too.

However, I searched the whole city and didn't see any workshops that sold guns.

Now I bet that it was custom-made. Perhaps only for their purpose and nothing else, or a product from HQ.

Okay... that's it! On to the HQ! After her fight with Verxal, maybe we should visit the HQ! In that way, I can think of another way.

So... what I really need to do right now is to create that technique. I need paper and pen to print the design! And after I establish it, it should register in the system, right?

I hope so.

"Ellena, can you spare me a paper and pen? I need a wide paper." I asked Ellena.

"What are you going to use it for?"

"I want to create a production technique for one specific weapon design. I want to produce it for you." I said.

She eventually raised her eyebrows and stopped her task of polishing her sword. It was still the average sword and not the custom-made one, but she cared for it as if it wasn't temporary.

"Does that mean you'll gift a technique just to produce what you were thinking?" she curiously asked.

I nodded. "Yup. But of course, it won't be dangerous to spread such knowledge. I just want to create the design and the bullets will be separate as well as the maker."

"Bullets?"

Oh. Right. I haven't explained it to her.

"I plan on making a gun for you. Since I don't have any means to create it, I will convert the idea into a technique so that I can gift it to the maker. Even if he uses it for his own cause, it won't be useful since I'll have him build the parts only. You'll be the one to assemble or I will. Not a big deal. "

"What's a gun?"

Oh boy... I really need to explain things to her.

And just for a minute, I explained what guns were and how they worked. When she heard and understood my idea, she apparently became excited as it was really exciting since guns save distance.

And my initial gun is a pistol for the meantime. If it is successful, I'll think of recreating rifle guns as well as shotguns. I believe that in this world it will be a top-class weapon.

I think that the concept of their guns was just to amplify magic. But I can't think of it as if I am right. It was just a hypothesis.

Nevertheless, I'll prepare things now. The design or blueprint for the guns will be created!

It's also a preparation for the revenge of that mysterious group. I bet that after capturing and killing some of their people, they won't forgive Ellena. Now that we stepped on their nerves so hard, they won't let Ellena go.

Ah... they also learned her true identity.... Things will be unending.
