[Accuracy Enhancement Training – 2: Sniper and Hunter]

Description: ‘Do you know the secret of sniping? We are different from hunters. There’s no need for long words. You will find out when you catch this guy.’

Browless wants you to be reborn as a true sniper. Not as a hunting musketeer, but a true sniper.

Content: Obtain Road Runner’s tail feather within 20 days (0 / 5)

Reward: Skill: Marking

Failure condition: Exceed deadline, party play

Penalty for failure: [Accuracy Enhancement Training] will disappear, [Miss Elizabeth’s Will] will disappear, [Disappeared Legends] will be canceled, [Browless’s Expectations] will be canceled, Quest route will reset.

-Are you sure you want to accept?

Leeha quickly scanned the first notification window.

Hunting? Sniping? What is this all of a sudden?

‘There’s a deadline, but… death won’t result in failure this time. What is a Road Runner in the first place?’

During the Brass Golem quest, it was described as the field boss

If so, does this mean that the quest monster was not a boss-level monster?

Was it just another monster? Was ‘death’ excluded from the conditions because

the system knew that he would not die from normal monsters?

“What is a roadrunner?”

“It’s a bird.”

“Bird? Ah, yes. I know that…… Is it similar to the Golden Eagle in Candle Castle?”

“Yes. It’s a flying bird. However, if you compare it to the Golden Eagle, the Golden Eagle would be sad.”

A corner of Browless’s mouth twisted. Just looking at Browless’s smirk, Leeha had an ominous feeling.

‘If you compared the two kinds of birds, shouldn’t the road runner be sad? Why would the Golden Eagle be sad?’

Even though it was from the beginner area, the Golden Eagle is strong in its way.

Of course, only level 10 to 15 users deal with it, so it would not be a big deal if one was strong…….

“Anyway, it’s simple. Bring 5 roadrunners’ tail feathers within 20 days. Of course, you know that it shouldn’t be a store-bought item, right?”

“O-Of course. What do you think of me as?”

Leeha knew that it wouldn’t be simple. But how comfortable was it that there was no death penalty? Compared to what he had to deal with the Brass Golem alone, it seemed easy, even though he didn’t know what a roadrunner was.

Leeha pressed the accept button without hesitation.

The second notification window was the reward for the first quest.

However, its ridiculous content made Leeha’s mouth wide open.

[Miss Elizabeth’s Will(Legacy)] 

Description: ‘I couldn’t even match her accuracy. She used to pull the trigger at a distance where it was difficult to even tell what the color of the clothes was with the naked eye. It reminds me of the time when she yelled that there would be someone to succeed me and Brown, but there would be no one to succeed her. If there was someone who could pass this test, she said that it would be okay for them to be her successor.’

The Three Musketeers have high expectations for their successors. And they prepared tests in advance for their successors. Browless wants you to take the test that Miss Elizabeth mentioned before her disappearance.

Content: Hit the target at a distance of 444m(Chances: 3, Hit: 0/1)

Reward: Black Bess, Achievement – The Next Generation of the Three Musketeers

Condition of Failure: Miss the target.

Failure: [Miss Elizabeth’s Will] will disappear.

“And Miss Elizabeth’s Will……”

Browless paused and cleared his voice.

“It literally means what it is. Since she is not dead, the expression “will” is not appropriate, but I can only express it like this.”

Browless tried to follow Mr. Brown and Miss Elizabeth toward the Demon King’s Country.

How did he feel when he treated them as dead and learned that they were alive.

Leeha tried to guess what was on Browless’s mind for a moment but eventually shook his head.

Leeha thought it was still difficult the really understand Browless.

“Their successor…… I don’t know if Brown and Elizabeth had even ‘thought’ about it beforehand. Anyway, I have talked about it to them before.”

Browless’s eyes seemed to be looking into the past.

Leeha also understood the director’s words.

“If I hit the target at a distance of 444m…… I will be acknowledged as her successor.”

“ I need to hit the target at 444m you say?”

“Yes. At a distance of 444m, no more, no less.”

That’s nonsense! Leeha barely managed to hold back his scream.

What kind of distance was 444m in Middle Earth?

‘Is this for real! What was the effective range of a musket? No, besides that, what do you mean, it should be neither more nor less than 444m! Without an optical range finder!’

Although he had never met Miss Elizabeth, Leeha seemed to have a rough idea of her personality.

‘The reward for catching the Brass Golem is totally crazy.

It is supposed to be good, but I couldn’t be happy with this.’

“W-what is the size of the target? Where would it be? Is it moving?”

“The target should be… roughly the size of an adult male. The place is prepared by me separately.”

“Do I have to do it now?”

In response to Leeha’s question, Browless shook his head.

He had three chances to hit the target once, it meant that he could shoot three times.

Fortunately, ‘going to challenge’ meant that Leeha could do it anytime he wanted to.

‘The worst has come to past, for now. Besides, I can take my time before doing it. It’s just a quest that I had inherited.’

The tempting names written on the reward were something else.

‘I am already doing the quest to be a part of the next generation of Three Musketeers. But if I clear this I can get the achievement of Next Generation of the Three Musketeers?’

Does it mean that as long as I don’t clear this quest, I won’t be able to be a part of the next generation of the Three Musketeers even if I finish all the quests given to me by Browless?

If so, it was no exaggeration to say that this was the most important quest.

“What is the Black Bess?”

“You know it.”

“What?”

Browless raised his chin as if to pretend he did not know anything.

His chin was pointed to the wall of the storage room.

“S-surely……?”

It was the wall between the windows.

There was nothing special. There was a mark that symbolizes the academy, and a three-tiered hanger.

However, there was an object in the second tier of the hanger.

It was as Browless said. It was something Leeha knew of.

“It’s the gun that Miss Elizabeth used.”

“Whoa……!”

It was a black musket of unknown material.

Wasn’t that Browless’s? It was the gun used by Miss Elizabeth?

One gun, two empty hangers. Leeha’s mind started to grind.

“T-then? The top and bottom it was where-.”

“You have a good eye.”

“-Mister Brown…. and yours?”

And they were not on the hangers anymore.

‘T-the next generation of the Three Musketeers. You have to inherit their skills too! So…… that’s why he kept on insisting ‘accuracy’ on me.’

Now the puzzle had been put together.

From the moment Leeha first came, he was always asked to choose and he almost got fed up with it. Piercing, Bullseye, Rapid fire.

‘The next generation! To create the next generation of the Three Musketeers…… there needs to be 1 person for each attribute?’

It was not possible to have two for each attribute.

How can it be possible, when there was only one gun at a time. It was just that the guns of Mister Brown and Browless were no longer available.

“Are you going to try it now?”

Leeha’s heart pounded. It was greed. He could tell that the musket was unusual even without looking closely at it.

“No. I can’t do it right now.”

“Ha…… haha, right. Of course.”

But Leeha was coolheaded and his heart was burning.

He knew that trying it right now would result in failure. Looking at Browless’s satisfied smile, Leeha knew that not taking the test now was the right answer.

“Then you can tell me whenever you want to.”

“Okay. I need to catch road runners first.”

“I wish you luck.”

Leeha said goodbye to Browless and left the Academy.

His heart still pounded.

After restocking gunpowder and bullets, Leeha quickly logged out of Middle Earth and collected information about the roadrunner from the internet. 

‘Manhwa? Ah! From an old cartoon…’

Images of famous cartoon characters appeared.

A bird in the shape of an ostrich. He remembered hearing the story of it playing around with a coyote as if they were playing tag.

‘And this bird actually exists……. Hmm, it looks like this. It doesn’t look like an ostrich’

The cartoon character was also inspired by a real bird.

Is it the same size as a pigeon? A cute-looking bird appeared in the search bar.

“And I’m supposed to catch this in Middle Earth.”

That’s why he said that the Golden Eagle would be sad if I compared the roadrunner to it.

Comparing it to the big, ferocious ones that eat people’s eyeballs, the roadrunner was truly a ‘bird’.

There were not many discussions about the roadrunner in the community either.

In the first place, it felt like it was not a monster made for hunting.

‘What is that bird? Could I

catch it? There’s fire coming from its back. What was he talking about?’

The titles with screenshots are just that. Unfortunately, none of the road runners were properly photographed

After figuring out its accurate location through the screenshot, Leeha connected to Middle Earth again.

“If I look at the map, it is clear that this near here ……

It is a desert area, not a grassland area.

It is in a canyon where sand and dust flew.

Nearby users were catching monsters such as Scorpion and sidewinders as a party

The monsters that one could catch were around level 40, this place was where Leeha felt most relaxing while doing his quest.

‘I always completed the quest in a hunting ground higher than my level … this time, death would not result in failure.’

He could smell the quest taking a break.

“Catch him! Catch him!”

“Please give me those heels! Stomp”

The archer, next please!”

Even by just looking at their equipment, users who were not fully equipped yet.

The division of roles was done well in its own way, and she stably held the scorpion, but.

It was laughable to Leeha.

“I had a time like that too- I ……? No. I did not.”

When was the last time he played in a party? He couldn’t even remember.
