Matan’s Shooter

p>Was he angry at the tree? Did he get mad at me?

Leeha got flustered but Kidd’s expression did not change.

The tree that had been kicked had leaves dropping from it like rain.

“This tree drops 13 leaves in 1 kick.”

“What?”

“That was my test”

“No, sorry, but don’t you know what a conversation is? We are not in the same wavelength-.”

What?

Test?

A word Kidd said reached Leeha’s brain.

Kidd knew about Elizabeth’s test. 

How did he know it? Besides, what did he mean by test? Right, I should have thought about it first.

How did he know about it? You can’t get that far if you’re an ordinary musketeer!

“No way……”

Leeha got goosebumps.

Three Musketeers.

To be precise, it was the Next Generation of the Three Musketeers!

“[Rapid Fire] Kidd.”

Kidd opened his mouth.
He even scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“I think I should be called that.”

“[Rapid Fire]- If it’s Rapid Fire, Browless’s-.”

Kidd nodded.
He didn’t even answer Leeha properly.

Leeha’s anger disappeared because of Kidd’s strange attitude.

‘No way! No wonder Kidd is one of the next-generation Three Musketeer! No, it can be.
That’s totally possible!’

He remembered what Browless said before.
When Leeha asked about Kidd, he said, ‘You’ll find out when the time is right’.

‘What if he meant that I would find out after I become one of the Next Generation of the Three Musketeers? Kidd is also one of the

Next Generation of the Three Musketeers.
As he claimed, he inherited the [Rapid Fire] attribute……!’

In other words, he is Leeha’s senior.

Leeha looked at Kidd for a moment and recalled what he just said.
[This was my test].

‘What?’

He looked at the leaves on the floor, but there didn’t seem to be anything special.

Did they put it 200m away and shoot it?

Leeha looked at Kidd, but Kidd didn’t say anything particular.
After all, he looked like a person who did not know how to converse well.

“That, the test was to shoot these leaves…… right?”

“That’s right.”

“How many meters? In Elizabeth’s case, she asked for a great distance.
If you have any hints……

Gulp, Leeha carefully asked Kidd.
Of course, the content of the exam would be a little different.

However, it was a test to select the next generation of the Three Musketeers.
Leeha hoped that he could get even the slightest hint.

“I shot there.”

“What? Here? Isn’t it less than 2m from the tree?”

Kidd nodded.
Leeha thought it was absurd.

‘Director Browless? What kind of test was it? How was this exam different from a walk in the park?’

Is it possible for a person to not hit a leaf 2m away? Much less a musketeer? Leeha looked at Kidd who said something unreasonable and now he was back at square one.

“Was the test hitting leaves from here?” Kwaak-!

Instead of answering, Kidd kicked another willow tree.
i

Exactly 13 leaves fell.
It took about 3 to 4 seconds for the 13 leaves to fall.

“Ah! You were supposed to hit the falling leaves, right?”

If that was the case, it was not that difficult.
Hit the falling leaves in 3 seconds! One had to move pretty quickly to shoot.

However, it was not too difficult as long as one reload in advance.
After all, there were 13 falling leaves, so why not just shoot one of them.

“Hmm, if it was Director Browless, that would be pretty sloppy.
However, if it’s rapid-fire, it should be at least two! There has to be something similar to that.”

“There was.”

“What?”

“I needed to hit 13 leaves.”

“……What?”

“The test was to hit all 13 targets.”

If jaws could drop in Middle Earth, Leeha’s would have dropped pretty hard.

He could not close his open mouth easily.

“W-what? Can you repeat that?!”

Leeha looked at Kidd and the fallen leaves alternately.

“Thirteen leaves? Your test was to hit 13 falling leaves?”

Kidd nodded.

“So? Did you pass? That? No way!”

He said it because he passed.
Leeha also knew it.

But he couldn’t believe it, so he had to ask again.

“No-non, what-how……

Leeha’s brain was confused and couldn’t speak at all.
How the hell did he do that? 13 leaves.

As Leeha counted, the time it took for the leaves to fall from the branch to the ground after the kick was about 3 to 4 seconds.

‘He shot them all? It’s not just a quick shot.
How…… How could he do that with a musket?’

It was impossible.
There was no way.
It was impossible.

‘If it was for 4 seconds, he needs to shoot 3.25 shots per second to hit all 13 leaves.
He had to reload within 0.3 seconds.
What if the leaves fell within 3 seconds? He had to hit 4 leaves per second!’

Leeha would have snorted if he was told to hit 1 within 4 seconds.
But 4 per second? It was impossible.

It was surprising at first, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t believe it.
Leeha quickly calmed down.

“That’s absurd.
And, Kidd-nim, no Kidd-ssi, no senior? Anyway! You don’t even have a musket.
If someone who didn’t even have a gun said it, I wouldn’t believe it.
If it is the Next Generation of the Three Musketeers, there must be a musket that inherits that attribute-.”

“If it’s a musket, I have it on me.”

“I didn’t see it though? I know you can’t put a musket in a bag.
Don’t lie.”

“You should already know.
Besides, you even made bombs.”

“Really! We should talk properly! It’s like talking to a wall, how could I understand?”

“Come here quickly.”

This bastard again! Oh, it felt like he was going crazy.

Was he talking like this on purpose? Is it something like “I want to tell you, but I can’t tell you everything, so I’ll give you a hint”?

Is it because he doesn’t want to answer me?

Leeha couldn’t read what Kidd was thinking.
Perhaps it was a simple conversation habit, but it was clear that he was difficult to deal with.
