Before long two months passed like nothing and within that period, Mason has been using materials from his forging class to build his weapon. Those that he couldn't get from the forging class , he bought or foraged for them.
He also made a small batch of double base smokeless gunpowder from nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose mixed with graphite to reduce muzzle flash.
As for the weapons he made three , a 9 mm center-fire cartridge pistol with seventeen round magazines. He also made a pistol that used a .45 ACP round , the M1911 with seven round magazines. For the riffle, he made a semi automatic Ar 15 chambered in 7.6×36 mm center-fire cartridge. It had a fixed butt stock made out of light wood dyed in black. It also had thirty round magazines and a four inch suppressor.
He had a feeling of accomplishment after he finished with the weapon , he felt much more safer and in tune with himself.
He also had holsters made out of leather , he also made straps , magazine pouches and fore grips as accessories.
All he needed was an excuse to use the weapon and it presented itself on a warm Friday morning.
" The goblin class demons have been sighted in the Langeong beach of the east Frisian islands. We are going to put to practice all that you have learned in the weapons mastery and combat classes.
Tomorrow you will receive bracelets to track the number of goblins you eliminate , and the number of goblins you eliminate will be calculated into points that will be reflected on your rankings and will also determine the amount of tokens you receive . So you will go back to your dorms and prepare yourselves and weapons we move early tomorrow morning."
This was the information that had just been passed down from the classes instructor.
According to the demon encyclopedia, the goblins were small humanoid demons who were as strong as regular humans but what they lacked in strength they made up for it with numbers as they tended to overwhelm their victims with their numbers.
There have been reports of the goblin toying with their victims before they were eventually eastern.
Only a few of the goblins could actually use magic, the rest used melee weapons.
The next morning as early as four o'clock the students set out for the Frisian islands. Many were in armour and carried a variety of weapons like swords, Warhammers , spears, e.t.c.
Mason however was dressed in a black shirt, black cargo trousers and a chest rig that carried up to four riffle magazines and three pistol mags . On his legs he wore black boots.
Around his waist was a belt with a holster for his pistol and a pouch for another extra set of pistol magazines.
For this mission he decided to go with the 9 mm pistol while the M1911 pistol was kept in his backpack which contained a one liter gallon of water, some dried fruits and jerky. He also had extra magazines in the bag and an extra dagger.
He was very confident in his ability to survive this test.
When he arrived at the departure site he was met with various confused gazes from the students because they couldn't understand his choice of weapons.
They then passed through several teleportation gates till they reached Nordstrand where they took a ship to the northern beach of the Frisian islands.
By the time they reached the island, the sun had already risen.
The instructor gave a final instruction,
" If you feel that your life is in danger, you can destroy your wrist bands and you will be safely teleported to to Nordstrand where you will be picked up ."
As soon as the instructor left several students grouped together into several parties. Some even rushed into the islands forest in an attempt to get the first set of kills.
Mason stayed calm and checked his equipment and supplies making sure that everything was in order . When he was satisfied he then switched off the safety and started moving into the forest.
Every where was quiet save for the sounds of birds and insects. He walked for almost an hour till he came across an abandoned fort on the island. It seemed like it had been left in that state for more than a century . There also seemed to be evidence of battles on the castle so Mason decided to investigate the castle.
The gates to the fort was already opened so he walked right into it. Firstly, he checked outside the fort to make sure that it was clear before he made his way into the castle.
There was signs of a fresh disturbance inside the castle so he slung the riffle behind him and took out his side arm and moved slowly through the narrow halls of the castle.
As he turned a corner, he saw something coming his way and subconsciously used the force to push it away from him so that it just grazed his face .
It was a sword and from the depth of the wall that it was buried in it was sure to sever his head and from the design and craftsmanship this weapon belonged to a human, it belonged to Griselda von Bismarck.
Mason looked at the girl with fair skin, platinum blonde hair and piercing blue eyes retrieve her weapon without even a whimper of an apology .
Mason contemplated shooting her at the back of the head for her rudeness but he shrugged off the feeling .
" Don't you think that you need to apologize for your mistake or are you above that ? " Mason asked the girl as she inspected her weapon, perhaps for scratches and without even looking up for a moment she replied.
" Why would I do that, apologize to a filthy commoner worth less than swine."
Mason was shocked, this was actually the first time he had experienced this or had thought that it was possible for someone to have this mentality.
" Griselda von Bismarck, that is your name, correct? " Mason asked and without waiting for an answer continued.
" Look at my face and etch it into your mind. I know you will do something like this in the near future but know that when you do this again, I will cut off your limbs and feed it to you."
Before she could reply, several clanking sounds were heard coming from both sides of the halls , the goblins had found them first.
