Weapon seller in the world of magic

After finishing his morning activities, he left towards the exit of the dorm without bothering to pay attention to anyone on the way.

He knew that if ladies would take the initiative to converse with him first, then there was a 90% possibility that they were interested in him, and he didn’t have any intentions to hook up with someone. And if it is a guy, there’s a high chance that he will be belittled by them for being a newbie. Since he was planning on laying low, he never talked with anyone but Sun Xiao and Javion, keeping his inner circle as small as possible.

And now, on the 8th day, just like usual, he was stopped by Sarah, the receptionist.

Sungjun already knew what she would do, too. She was going to ask him on a dinner date, followed by a couple of drinks. She did that five times already. However, Sungjun rejected it by giving different but logical excuses so as not to disappoint her. After all, she was a great source of information for him. He has learned so much about the world from her that his original host doesn’t have the knowledge for.

He planned to think of various excuses again to stop her advances, but to his surprise, Sarah spoke of another matter this time. ”You are being summoned by Lt. Commander.”

”Eh?” Sungjun wondered whether this had anything to do with the war against the werewolf lord. ”Why?” He asked.

Sarah shrugged her shoulders, ”Not sure, but it doesn’t look urgent considering they didn’t wake you up.”

”Thanks.” Sungjun let out a smile before rushing away from there.

”Sungjun, wai...” Before she even called out to him, Sungjun already entered the elevator and pressed the button.

”Tch, no fun. Why is he always in a rush?” Sarah complained as she rested her head on the table.

Just a half-minute later, a buffed man came to the counter and greeted her, ”Hey Beauty...”

”Get lost,” Sarah replied right away, coldly, without even taking a look at him. He scratched his hair, wondering whether she was in a bad mood as she usually replies with a smile every time.

Meanwhile, Sungjun was on his way to meet his superior. After verifying his identity with biometrics, followed by a retina scan, and then receiving approval from Cheng Hu, he finally managed to step inside the room.

”Sir.” He greeted him with a salute.

”At ease,” Cheng Hu nodded and handed the file that was on the desk. ”Agent White Wolf, get prepared to deploy. The file contains the basic info of your teammates.”

”Understood, Sir,” He nodded and then took the file.

On his way to the training room, Sungjun opened the file. His eyes fell on the image of a tough-looking fellow with a scar from his forehead down to his cheek. The first document contained the details of an S-rank Hunter named Jin Chen, Codename: Cyro.

”12 years of experience, and completed 4 five-star grade missions, 19 four-star grade missions, and 97 three-star grade missions so far. 83% successful rate, not bad. Let’s see... what else... He can conjure ice, huh... His strongest ability is ’Puppet Snow Bear’. I wonder how strong it would be. Anyway, let’s look at others.”

”Nakamura Kai – Echo – A”

”Wang Xia – Aqua Seraph – A”

”Xing Lin – Aurora – A”

”Jaden Wong – Stryker – A”

”Olivia Williams – Serpentia – A”

”Lucas Davis – Steel Guardian – A”

”Sun Xiao – Scarlet Flames – A”

The last one was a familiar face to him, but he wasn’t surprised at all.

He nodded in satisfaction as he read his roommate’s data, ”she had fewer missions compared to the rest, but has an incredible success rate of 98.6%. If there’s anything that is a problem, it’s her personality. That woman needs to stop being an immature brat and act her age.”

Letting out a sigh as he remembered Sun Xiao’s face, he further murmured. ”Anyway, the team is a good one, although Sun Xiao’s addition does seem to make the team imbalanced. This Wang Xia girl’s powers are completely of the opposite nature from Sun Xiao’s. It would become a problem if they ended up on the same team. Hmm...”

Keeping the file in his bag, Sungjun then continued to walk.

After a while, he reached the training room. He swiped the training pass and entered the room.

It is just like usual. Javion is fighting Sun Xiao under 7 times the gravity. However, this time, he was going all out, transforming his whole body into stone and not just his fists.

Meanwhile, Sungjun sat on the ground and practiced his telekinetic ability to levitate under this enormous gravitational force. During the past three days, he was practicing to improve his eye abilities while taking advantage of the gravitational force. The higher the pressure exerted on him, the faster he was improving.

Once they were finished, Javion sat nearby, ”Hey, bro, I heard that you were leaving on a mission.”

Sungjun glanced at Sun Xiao and nodded silently.

”I’m quite envious,” commented Javion with a smile before adding, ”It’s been three weeks since I saw the sun. You get to leave in just a few days.”

”Well, if not for the emergency, I reckon they would keep me here for longer than you.” Sungjun shrugged his shoulders in response to his friend’s comment, making them curious.

Neither of them knew much about his past, and they didn’t bother trying to enquire about him as he was only a probationary agent. Now, they couldn’t help but wonder what kind of mess he had made that he had to make such a statement.

Time passed. Like usual, Sun Xiao and Sungjun returned to their room after dinner.

Until now, Sungjun felt like everything was going well between them, based on their last few days of conversations. He planned to talk to her about the mission and ask her about the other members, but as soon as the door was closed, she turned serious as she took a seat on her bed, ”Look, Han Sungjun. I’ll be direct with you.”

”Hmm? What is it?” Sungjun, who had just closed the door, raised his head and looked at her.

”Tomorrow, when we meet our teammates, I need you to stay away from me. It’s like we don’t know each other and behave as if we are meeting for the first time,” She said to him directly, without bothering to hide anything in her heart.

”Eh? Why?” He asked.

Sun Xiao explained while looking quite serious, ”A few of them are my former teammates, and I don’t want them to look down on me.”

Sungjun stared at her for a few seconds of silence. There’s a lot going on in his head. He thought she was past the difference in their ranks, authority, or whatever. But, now... it felt like those conversations he had with her when she was smiling all seemed like a lie.

But in the end, being the bigger man, he took a deep breath and nodded. ”Alright.”

”Thank you.” She bowed slightly before leaving with a towel for the shower before bed, as usual.

As she left his sight, Sungjun couldn’t help but sigh, ”Fine... if this is how the world is, let it be...”

Before she returned from the shower, he lay down and slept.

The next day;

It was just around the time for sunrise.

The sunlight hit both of their faces, bringing a rare smile to a broody Sun Xiao as they finally walked out of the underground secret facility.

Sungjun, on the other hand, was only in the dorm for a few days. So, he was calm and his eyes wandered around, thinking, ”No one could probably imagine that there’s an entrance here to an underground facility that spans several acres.”

Soon, they got onto the helicopter and rode to another military base located in the neighboring country of Aclor, a city-state island nation in the Tecrean Ocean and a member of the Alsacian Federation.

The vehicle slowly descended onto the helipad. There, a person in a suit and a couple of guys in uniform were waiting for them.

Both of them stepped down, but only Sun Xiao received a warm welcome. After the exchange of salutes was over, one of the two soldiers extended his hand toward Sun Xiao, ”Welcome to Aclor, Miss Sun. And you must be the intern. Anyway, please follow us...”

The soldier’s voice turned cold when he addressed Sungjun, clearly expressing his disgust on his face for some reason.
