Evan was amazed at how quickly Loki learned how to use each gun, he was even doubting if Loki was truly a beginner. If not for the fact, that Loki had a ton of questions as well as the large pay Evan was receiving for this job, Evan might've suspected that someone was trying to play a trick on him.
"Alright, I think I have a good grasp on how all these weapons work." Loki nodded his head in satisfaction.
'A good grasp?! You're already better at using them than me!' Evan could only scream in his mind as he showed an awkward smile. Loki then passed Evan a stack of cash.
"Here something extra since you did a good job." Evan pushed the money away as he shook his head.
"Thanks, but no, I don't deserve that. I wasn't even able to teach you much, I practically did nothing."
"That's not true, you did answer all my questions, and without you, I wouldn't be able to see the proper form up close."
"Truth be told, with your talent you could've just gone to a gun range and learned just as much."
"Don't be so modest, you really were such a great help to me. So here please take it," Loki once again handed the money to Evan. This time Evan started to hesitate as he really needed the money. After a short pause, Evan finally took the cash. Evan then gave Loki his personal number.
"Thanks for this, here if you need anything at all don't hesitate to call me."
"Yeah, I'll take you up on that offer. Oh right, I have an answer for your question earlier, my favorite gun at this point is the De Lisle carbine, even though it's just an antique you brought, I like the feel and the almost nonexistent sound it makes when you make a shot."
"Oh so your into that kind of thing, then I have some suggestions."
Evan started happily telling Loki what kinds of guns he should try next if he likes the De Lisle carbine. After talking for a bit, Evan needed to leave since he had another appointment. Once he was gone Loki started drawing some runes in the surrounding area of his private shooting range. After he was done with his preparations, Loki activated the formation he set up. It was a simple isolation spell, it could ward off normal people from noticing what's happening within the area where he placed the runes.
If someone were to pass by they would only see an empty area, and no matter what noise is made inside the effective range of the spell no one outside would hear a sound. Even though Harold already bought this area for him to use, Loki didn't want to risk people seeing what he was going to do next.
Still, if a Grandmaster rank martial artist passes by the isolation spell wouldn't work on them. Grandmaster rank martial artists could already sense the fluctuations of the spiritual energy within the world. They might not understand mana but the moment they feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy they might take look out of interest.
'Well, it's not like some random Grandmaster rank martial artist would pop up in such a remote area.'
Once Loki was done making sure that no one else was around, he started infusing mana into the bullets.
'Now let's see, if this is going to work. Let's start with this bullet infused with my mana.'
Loki placed the bullet into his modified Barrett M82. This time he picked a nearby target and shot it. The bullet went through the target and it even dug into the ground, aside from that there was no other difference from a normal bullet.
'Hmm so adding my mana just makes the bullet a bit stronger or should I say sturdier. Now let's see what happens when I infuse the bullet with a fire elemental spell.'
Loki then shot another target and this time the bullet exploded upon contact with the target. The explosion blasted the target into smithereens.
'Whoah, I just added a small number of fire elementals into the bullet, the mana I used should just be enough for something like a simple fireball spell. That was three times the strength of what I was expecting. Are these bullets good mana conductors? Now, this is getting interesting.'
After that Loki started testing what would happen if he used other types of elemental spells as well as using some spells that would usually work with a bow and arrow.
...
After testing different things for a full day, Loki was rather pleased with the results. This is what he figured out.
- Bullets could be infused with different spells.
- The power of fire elemental spells is tripled while using the bullets.
- Spells using other elements aside from fire worked but without any multipliers to its strength.
- Non-elemental spells were also suitable.
- Infusing inner energy into the bullet or the gun does not work.
- Some bow techniques could be used with guns.
- Infusing any gun with mana doesn't do anything.
- Putting runes on guns works but the mana used doesn't come from the area but from the user.
- Using runes on guns drains a significant amount of mana, depending on what type of rune it could possibly drain Loki's entire mana supply, but the power released is greater than any spell Loki could use at the moment.
Loki wrote the results of his experiment in a notebook and nodded his head in satisfaction as he read them.
'Heh, so guns are pretty good weapons. I guess the only reason martial artists don't really like using them too much is that they can't infuse their inner energy into the gun or even the bullets. Still, bringing around big guns like rifles isn't really my style. Now, which of these things should I use, when I go out doing my job as Fade. Even though I do like the De Lisle carbine it's too chunky, hmm, I better just bring some pistols. I guess, the M1911 had good results in today's test, and this desert eagle is rather powerful for a pistol.. Alright, now that I have a rather good grasp on what the different guns can do, let's see if this so called Scorpion can take my head.'
