E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 93 - Mark 1

“Mr Leo.... That thing...” Selene asked as she pointed towards the iron rod that Leo was carrying.

“Aah, this? My weapon with the help of Roselia's rune. Although, I need to do Enchanting on this thing in order to work well and have enough strength. But it seems to be less.” Reply Leo while sitting back and pondering the results of his trial this time.

Selene herself was still paying attention to the iron bar, recalling how earlier the fire shot shot out quickly and produced a small explosion at its target.

“Master will make this a research topic in the academy?” Ask Selene again.

“Hahaha, obviously not. This weapon if it had been refined would be too powerful. I want to master it myself for now.”

What Leo meant was the fact that this was a concept of a magic weapon. Where everyone, even small children can use it.

If a weapon like this falls into the hands of his opponent, especially the one Leo thinks is most dangerous, Feris, he does not know what will happen in the future.

And according to him, this is not the time to publish about this weapon.

Although it requires the help of Enchanting from Leo, but someone out there will definitely find another way to make this weapon work. Despite having enough power under his own made Leo.

Thinking about those things alone is enough to make Leo feel goosebumps.

But on the other side....

If he could perfect this weapon and produce it for those closest to him....

‘I think in a moment it's time to say goodbye to the sword and arrow.’ Leo thought in his heart while smiling.

After that, Leo returned to focus in his studies at this academy. However, he still needs to graduate from there well. And also, the knowledge he obtained was very helpful in refining his magic weapon.

...- Eastfort -...

“Nona Feris, expedition team has returned.” Said one of the Knights.

“Thanks. Continue your work.”

The knight then saluted before leaving this room. Leave Fris alone in it.

After a while, 3 people entered this room in a relaxed manner.

“I told you, giants are slow. So you just need to focus on the movement.” Say a man with reddish hair. His body looks quite tall and trained. He's one of the heroes, Alex.

“While you say so, the blow is very strong. I even had trouble holding it.” Reply to the other guy with blond hair and a slightly bigger body than Alex. He was also a hero, Brian.

“I don't care what you think, but can you try not to get hurt much? I often run out of Mana because of your reckless actions.” Reply to a girl with long black hair. He wore a magician-like robe with black and blue shades.

The girl was also a hero who belonged to the expedition team. Her name is Amelia.

Seeing the three survivors, Feris felt very happy. Although, there was not much expression on his face other than a thin smile.

“Welcome back. Thank goodness you three survived.” Said Feris as he immediately stood up from his chair.

He then invited the three of them to sit down and prepare 4 cups and a teapot containing warm tea.

“Yoo, Ferris. Still playing power as usual?” Alex asked while lightly hitting the woman's back.

‘Braak!’

“Ugh, you know it hurts right?” Reply Ferris.

“Heal...” Said Amelia while pointing her hand at Feris' body.

“Don't waste Mana of yours. It's nothing.” Reply Ferris.

“Buahahaha! Fresh once sipped wine after that deadly journey!”

“Where did you get that wine? And also why are you drunk?” Ask Fris towards Brian.

The four of them looked like a very familiar group. Getting to know each other without boundaries or awkwardness.

The Ferris who saw this let them do whatever they wanted for a while.

After all, the three of them were the only group that was crazy enough, brave enough, and strong enough to step foot beyond the confines of Eastfort.

As a hero, it was likely that they were the bravest. Compared to the other 3 heroes hiding behind the walls of Eastfort namely Feris, Alicia and also Ellia.

“By the way, what have you guys seen there all this time?” Feris asked while sitting on his desk. He looked towards the faces of the three people with a flat gaze as usual.

“Hah.... At least let us rest one night first.” Reply Brian.

“How else? Ferries are always like this, right? Look yeah, if you're always cold like that, maybe you won't get a husband you know?” Reply Alex.

But the answer from Feris was still as flat and cold as ever.

“Tak problems. My goal here is not to find a husband.”

“Good.... I'll explain it.” Said Amelia who was trying to mediate their light showdown.

Amelia briefly explained what the three of them saw during the expedition in the Demon territory. The goal is for Feris to get a rough idea first before detailing the parts needed.

After a while of listening to Amelia's explanation, Feris's eyes widened. Full of surprise. His body began to tremble.

And the only words that came out from behind his lips....

“You're serious about that?”

Amelia's reply was just a light nod of the head.

...- Magic Academy Aselica -...

About 1 week had passed since Leo's first attempt with his magic weapon.

This time, he made a new refinement to the weapon. First, he added a layer of wood in the handle to facilitate the use of the weapon.

Not only that, the heat flowed from the magic that came out of this weapon was enough to slightly burn the skin of its user. So the wooden handle was useful to keep the user from the heat.

After that, Leo also increased the Mana-using capacity of the weapon by adding new runes in it.

And at this time....

“Selene, take a good look.” Said Leo who had pointed his weapon at a wooden doll that had the armor.

But this time, they didn't do it in Roselia's study. Except in a field in the territory of this Academy.

“Good, Milord.” Reply Selene briefly.

After making sure the direction of the shot was correct, Leo placed his thumb slowly at the center of the rune.

Only in the blink of an eye.

‘Blaaarr!!’

Leo's right hand holding the weapon looked slightly pushed back.

An explosion occurred. A sizable flame shot out rapidly towards the wooden puppet. The blow was even strong enough to knock him to the ground.

What's more....

The armour that was hit by the fire magic seemed to melt a little.

It's just....

“What do you think?” Ask Leo.

“His strength has increased. But the fire was too wide, so it did not have enough penetrating power to penetrate the armor.” Reply Selene.

“So yeah? I think I should refine his rune array to focus the fire magic to the smallest point possible.”

With that, Leo's experiment to continue refining his magic weapon gained a bit of progress.

What he needed right now was only time and also a lot of trial.
