The Seven's
An Old Story: The Ugly Genius

...Part 1's...

Diego is currently in a gun shop. Since returning home from a werewolf expulsion mission in the village of Loria which ended in chaos he decided to rest for a while and prepare for the mission in the city of Tonren.

"I told you Urb !!! stop making weird weapons!!!" shouted a large man in a brown t-shirt folding his hands on his chest.

"What a strange weapon I'm ordinary anyway" refuted a man with a fat body and bald head with a face that makes people around him always frown at him. 'a very bad face'.

The big man sighed heavily "Urb do you still not understand your weapons it always makes adventurers get into trouble not even a few people who die because of your weapons" said the man.

"They are weak and incompetent adventurers so they die just because they carry my weapons before they die doesn't mean my weapons that make them die" Urb argued.

"Well why don't you understand I'm getting out of here and I'm sick of seeing your ugly!!!" exclaim that man.

"If my face is ugly, why!!! it does affect the quality of my weapons" Urb replied.

"But you ugly don't know yourself!!! hurry up and leave or I'll call the knights!!!"men's snapping.

The face of the man named Urb was flushed red he took his wooden box and walked away.

Diego initially tries not to mind the commotion but Diego's eyes focus on the box containing a black dagger carried by the man named Urb.

That excellent dagger was what he thought of himself when he first saw the weapon. "Wait" cried Diego when the man named Urb was already at the mouth of the door.

"I want to see that dagger" Diego walked up to the fat bald-headed man. The man stopped walking and faced Diego "right" asked the man enthusiastically.

"Yes if the dagger fits me I'll buy it" Diego said a little hesitantly. "Just take it easy my weapon will suit you" the man said confidently.

"Oh yeah how about we go to my house there are a lot of guns there you'll be interested" said the man. "Oh yes my name is Urb if you know whose name you are" the man asked.

Diego pulled out the gold badge he was necklacing. "I'm an adventurer you can call me Hunter of Nightmare" Diego said.

Urb nodded understanding "then come on" she asked. They left the gun shop. On the way they did not talk too much.

"Hey look at that guy so ugly huh"

"Even he's uglier than a monster"

"His face is so creepy don't go near him"

"I've seen him enter a brothel"

"I feel sorry for the whores there"

Diego chose not to comment on anything, he was willing to deal with this man because the dagger he had looked so good.

"We arrived" said Urb stopped at a fairly simple house. There is a large courtyard filled with flowers.

"Hey Urb who is he" exclaimed an old woman who lived in an Urb house. "He's my customer Nek he wants to see my weapons" Urb said despite the incorrect remarks.

This man was the one who took Diego to his house to look at the guns. "After half a month you can't get a customer you finally get one" said the grandmother looking relieved.

"Hahaha yes grandma I'm really lucky but sorry grandma I have to show my weapon to this young man" Urb said then walked over to the door.

Diego walked tail on the man. "Hurry up and sell some weapons to her so that the beautiful flower garden can be even more beautiful"

"Hahaha of course grandma"

krieeeeeeeek

Urb's door opened straight into his house. The first sight Diego saw was dozens of papers piled up everywhere.

"Let's go in just ignore the papers" Urb asked.

Diego enters with a frightened heart if he steps on Urb's important note. "Hey let's sit down" Diego looked around at the many whiteboards full of scribbles and paper scattered everywhere.

There are two sofas facing each other with a table that separates them. Diego walked carefully to the sofa and sat down before Urb who had been sitting on the sofa.

"So just go ahead and see which weapon you want"

...Part 2's...

"The black dagger in your box is enough to catch my attention" he said without further ado.

"Oh yeah explosive dagger"

"Explosive dagger" parrot Diego. Urb got up and placed the wooden box on the table and took out five black daggers.

"This dagger is equipped with an explosive spell in his more collisions received his will be greater explosive power" said Urb.

"That means this dagger can't be used for too long in close combat right" Diego asked.

"Depending on how strong the impact he received if it was very strong then this dagger would instantly explode and if the impact was weak then this dagger could be used longer" Urb said.

"The weapon is troublesome but I'll take it before I take it I want to test the effectiveness of the weapon" Diego said.

Urb nodded understanding "then what's there again" Urb asked. "I'm going on a mission to capture the city of Tonren if there's anything that can help" Diego asked.

Urb was silent for a moment and put on a thinking pose. "I'm just making weapons and selling them, it's hard to find information because of my ugly face" the man let out a heavy breath.

"That's it then maybe we can test this explosive dagger" Diego grabbed the black dagger.

He carefully observed the magic spell inscribed on the dagger.

"If you may want to show me your weapon then do you have any magic element attributes" Urb asked enthusiastically.

"I've got three magic element attributes wind, fire, water then weapons are arrows and magic Arrow emblems" Diego activated his magic emblem appeared an arrow bow and a bag containing a child on the table.

Urb immediately snatched Diego's bow. "You're using your weapon very roughly" Urb observed Diego's arrow carefully he saw many burn marks on the bow.

Urb nodded slowly "Alright I will make an arrow bow that matches the fire magic element attribute.I'm sure this will be a very powerful weapon" Urb looked at Diego with sparkling eyes.

"No thanks but I'm more good at using my wind magic" Diego refused. "Just relax I will make a weapon that supports the magic element attributes of wind, water and fire" Urb said.

Diego stroked his breath like he was going to spend a lot of money on this bow. "Then I want the best quality, don't worry about the Urb payment" Diego said. "Hahaha I like your style the Hunter of Nightmare therefore I will make the best weapon for you" Urb got up and threw the bow at his owner.

He then put the explosive dagger back in the box "let's go to my workplace" Urb lifted the box and walked away.

Diego got up and walked after Urb. Apparently Urb works in a very large basement is actually more suitable in the name of a warehouse.

There were many whiteboards and scattered papers and many weapons on the walls.

They walked towards a corner of the room that was much more tidy and there was a bed and a table containing a lot of stuff. "Welcome to my workplace and my break room" Urb said.

Urb walked up to the table and pushed everything on the table down and placed the box on the table.

"Let's see Hunter of Nightmare" Urb said.

Diego approaches Urb and the man gives him a book. Diego received the book and immediately opened the book he found a lot of gun designs that are still in the form of doodles.

"A very unique weapon" Diego's house.

"Is there anything you want" Urb asked.

"There's one thing but I want you to focus on my bow and don't forget the explosive dagger" Diego said, putting the book on the table.

"That's how about we do a little interview" Urb pulled out a small book from his pocket and a swan book.

"Hidden or fighting directly" without hearing Urb's consent immediately asked questions.

"Hm I fight more often in person"

"Weapons that cause major damage or that facilitate movement" he asked again.

"Easy movement" Diego answered briefly.

"If the enemy manages to escape your arrow what are you doing" the man asked.

"I'm going to put some distance between us and change weapons" Diego said.

"If your enemy is also the one who bears the Arrow what would you do" Urb asked.

Diego was silent for a moment and thought "i'll deal with it head-on and use some extra weapons like daggers and so on" Diego said.

"How is your skill" asked

"The first Skill of All Death I can shoot more than one target with one invisible arrow, the second skill I can take the opponent's magic attack and make it as an arrow and my ultimate skill Judgment Arrow can shoot arrows that cannot be shot with full power but this third skill requires a lot of mana" Diego said.

"Good Skill keep you also master the three elemental attributes of magic, wind, water, and fire but you use wind magic more often" Urb closed his book and put it in his pocket again.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot when your mission to Tonren city was" Urb asked. "Two days left" Diego replied briefly.

"Well, are you serious!!!"

"It's okay that my original goal was just to buy the explosive dagger" the blue-haired young man casually said.

"You underestimated me yes but it's okay I have something interesting here too" Urb walked away leaving alone.

After a few minutes he saw Urb return with a medium-sized log.

"What wood is it" asked Diego in wonder.

"The great question is this wooden Hunter of Nightmare is the wood of the elven tree of life in the kingdom of Grenworld" as soon as Diego rounded his eyes. "You.

"Geez, just relax, my friend bought it legally, on the black market" Urb shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh...wait what?! black market!!"

"A month ago I went to the black market and met an elf who wanted to sell wood from the tree of life in the kingdom of Grenworld at a fairly cheap price so without a second thought I bought all the wood from the Grenworld royal tree of life" Urb said.

"Forget it all and be prepared that you will be wearing an arrow made from the sacred tree of the Elf tribe" Urb smiled faintly.

...Part 3's...

After that Diego noticed Urb making the bow. There was nothing special about the way he made weapons.

After waiting for three hours his long bow Diego finally finished. Urb gave Diego the bow.

The blue-haired youth received his carefully fearing if anything happened to that arrow bow. When he touched the bow Diego was quite amazed "You sanded it very finely, this bow is also very light" said Diego.

"Now we have to ascertain the strength of this bow" Urb said, then took out an iron rod and swung it with all his might at Diego.

Diego instantly resisted Urb's attack with that bow. But Urb's iron rod was broken immediately making the man smile with satisfaction.

he actually does not wonder if this arrow bow can break iron because this bow is made of very quality material.

Diego used to read in his mother's book about elves and the tree of life. When elves live in colonies a tree will grow by itself.

That was the tree of elf life, why it was called that because elves tended to live around that tree. There is a lot of life near that tree.

He had also read that the wood from the elf's tree of life was so strong that it made many parties want the tree.

Although the tree was very sacred but actually the elves also used the wood from the tree as a weapon.

It was so characteristic of the elves to have weapons made from the wood of the tree of life. "How awesome isn't it" asked Urb.

"Yes" Diego replied briefly.

"Do you want to make light and strong armor for me "ask Diego. "That's easy" Urb replied confidently.

Diego grabs a book containing a collection of Urb ideas. "Please make me two gauntlets right this model" Diego pointed to an arrow-shaped gauntlet model.

...(depiction of Diego's arrow gauntlet)...

"So for one please make me a model gauntlet that can shoot a hook" Diego said

"It's a good request but if you want to finish it before the mission you have to help me make it" Urb said.

"It doesn't matter" Diego said

Diego initially thought that if he had helped Urb then the two gauntlets of his order could be resolved quickly but it turned out that Urb did not have the ingredients to make it.

As a result they went to the black market to get the ingredients to make the gauntlet. "You should have prepared all the ingredients from all day" that's the sentence he uttered when he found out Urb didn't have the ingredients to make the gauntlet.

But the man easily avoided "many people who thought my weapon was strange and useless so why am I collecting raw materials from far away, I served the man who ordered weapons to me instead of making weapons for sale" Although he had not known Urb for a long time he felt that this man was a good man who had far-sighted thoughts.

Given that he could create a model of a weapon that was so unique and unthinkable to others.

She needs to publish her ideas in a general audience but it won't go smoothly because of her face.

After getting the necessary materials they return to the Urb house and instantly make the gauntlet that Diego wants.

Two days after his departure day Diego headed for the city of Tonren. "Finally done too" Urb flopped down on the floor.

"Then I go first Urb, here's your pay" Diego threw six bags of bronze coins.

Urb got up and checked the coins. "Let's go, your friend just gave me a nine-piece gold coin" asked Diego. "I have a lot of bronze coins in my bag and it takes up a lot of space in my storage bag so I need to cut down my money" Diego shrugged both of his shoulders.

"Hey, by the way, you don't want to wear your Arrow gauntlet yet" asked Urb, who realized Diego was only wearing a gauntlet that could shoot a hook in his left hand.

"I'll wear it if it's already entered Tonren's city" Diego turned and walked away.

"Be careful if you need a gun just meet me.ah I haven't been to the brothel for a week.tonight I want to go there aah"

***

A long-haired girl in black with bangs covering her forehead and chubby cheeks was standing in front of a door.

That girl was none other than Karand. Today he skipped lessons to meet Diego. Recently the school teamed up with the adventurer Guild of the city so that the students were obliged to become adventurers.

Karand thought his first adventure would go well but things didn't go well. His mission ends in chaos and his friend's friend is killed in the mission.

The ordeal was not finished until he witnessed his family of friends crying in front of him.

Ask him why he's the only survivor and why he didn't save his friend. Not until there people keep coming at him makes him feel more guilty.

But he thinks he's innocent that's what he thought a few days ago. He just needs to find someone who will agree with him.

He was convinced that Diego was the man.

It turned out that the blue-haired young man understood what Karand was feeling and he had also experienced something worse than himself.

Diego unwittingly kills his friend's own friend for being lulled by the mysterious Dungeon's powers.

Karand took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Diego said he never forgot what he did he just accepted all of it.

However, he did not really understand what it meant to receive.

When he was about to reach the knob, the door opened and showed a long red-haired girl in a ponytail with blue eyes.

"Karaaand" the girl immediately jumped into the arms of the girl tightly.

"Kaisha what's wrong" asked Karand in surprise.

"What are you saying!? I'm worried you know!!" exclaim that girl.

"Sorry Kaisha I left without telling you, I just want to be alone" Karand returned the red-haired girl's embrace.

"Kaisha what's the matter?..astaga Karand you're from anywhere" Karand recognized the owner of the voice. "Hi Marry wants to join us" Karan chuckled.

"Kaizer's master, Marjun all of Karand's gone home" cried Marry.

He could see his father and his other friends coming out of the dorm.

"Karand from wherever you are"

Kaisha let go of her embrace as her father approached. "I went to the hospital to swipe at Diego" Karand answered briefly.

"Diego again..again Diego" cried Juju did not accept.

"Yes why you go there so often" Marjun asked in a probing tone.

"Do I have to blind my eyes so that Karand is always with me" said Mary.

"Not so dong" Karand's father quickly denied.

"So how did Diego get well" asked Steve. "Yes he's healed I accompany him to train his new seeing ability" said Karand although he actually does not know if he was accompanying Diego to practice or just walk together.

"So next time at least you say you want to go now because you're back, you also have to go back to work.A lot of work that I postpone because of you" Karand's father rubbed his daughter's hair.

"Sorry father is late to realize his Karand if you realize sooner if you need a lot of time to be alone.but do not forget Karand father, your brother, you know, and your friend's friend is here, we'll make you forget all about this horrible incident" Karand's father said.

"It's not that my father now realizes I'm not as strong as I thought, I don't forget how weak and useless I am. Therefore I will accept all of that"

Karand smiled broadly at his father.

"Dad doesn't understand what you're saying but I'm glad you already have confidence back" his father smiled and walked away leaving Karand and his friend.

Karand stared at all his friends "friends friends I'm sorry for making you all worry".

"Again I'm really sorry" said Karand.
