Chapter 73: Another Gacha
What the hell!? That weapon... I need to check the other two weapons too—
＜Georgius's Sword＞ UR
■ ■ ■
■ ■ ■
＜Kilke's Staff＞ SSR
When a monster falls, high chance to
Tame it.
Grants the "Beast Tamer"职业.
Bonus: Defense ×150%
Magic Defense ×150%
Intelligence ×150%
Dexterity ×150%
Both weapons they’re holding are insanely rare! UR level—can’t even properly鉴定 at all. Not because of level, but like something’s actively blocking the鉴定.
Not just weapons. Armor’s all SR or higher...
“Gacha...”
“Huh?”
There’s no way something like that exists in the world! So it’s real... the weapon and armor gacha really does exist...
I重新鉴定 Leo and Freyja themselves.
Leo Garcia
Hero Lv82
■ ■ ■
■ ■ ■
Freyja Cruz
Dragon Knight Lv67
■ ■ ■
■ ■ ■
Still can’t鉴定... Leo’s the “Hero” I’ve never been, and Freyja’s the “Dragon Knight” I’ve never even seen before.
If I touch them, maybe I’ll learn something about the gacha...

“Sorry about this, you two... I’d love to handle the media hassle myself, but they’re insisting on photos with both of you...”
“No problem. Just think of it as fan service.”
“Yeah, though honestly, the press only wants photos with Freyja.”
True. Freyja’s popularity is off the charts.
“By the way, did you see Wang Xinyi at the venue?”
"Chinese person? I saw her, but is she really that strong?"
"Master Wang of 'Suzaku'—her power is real. Her ability to manipulate qi... probably unmatched worldwide... She might just be the one chosen among our weapons."
"Qi... huh. Sounds like it could rival our magical blades, but I've never seen anyone actually use it properly..."
Carlo shrugs in reply to Freyja's words.
"Anyway, if she's beautiful, I'm not complaining! Choosing weapon users is Leo's job. Speaking of which, I heard there was a magician from Japan—how about him?"
"I heard he's called the 'Burning Flame Mage'—doesn't that sound cool?"
Leo chides Freyja, who speaks with innocent enthusiasm.
"If his magic's focused on fire, fighting a dragon'll be tough. Dragons have high resistance to magic, and they're especially strong against fire. If you can't use lightning or water magic, honestly? You're useless!"
They enter the dressing room, removing gear and stowing it in black cases. Equipment managers are stationed separately, so they hand things over and start getting ready to leave.
"Got the weapons shipped to Dresden, Germany. Finally got approval."
"Wow, Salman actually allowed it? He was against letting weapons go to the Chinese team the whole time..."
"I kept pushing hard. Arrival'll be the day after tomorrow."
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Dresden, Germany—
Two men walk down a hallway inside the facility. One is a nervous-looking man with glasses; the other, a tall, thin man.
"Leo’s always doing whatever he wants. I and Mr. Salman both said no, but he wouldn’t listen."
"You mean the matter with the Chinese King? You’re really in for it, Chief."
Entering the code at the door, then swiping his fingerprint to unlock it.
Inside, lights flickered on one by one as we approached the dark room. When all the lights came on, hundreds of weapons and armors suddenly revealed themselves.
"This is it... Send it to Geneva right away. Get it ready."
"Understood."
The man standing behind stepped forward, rolling out a cart to carry the specified weapons and armor outside.
"Still, where the hell did all this stuff come from?"
"You’re new here, so you wouldn’t know... I don’t know the full story either, but it was originally private property."
"Private? All this?!"
"Things happened, and now we’re in charge. These weapons here? They’re as dangerous as weapons of mass destruction. Back then, one person owning something like this caused a major incident."
"What happened to the original owner?"
"Better not ask... that kind of thing."
The nervous-looking man called "Chief" walked toward the back of the room, staring at a single sword chained to a steel pedestal.
"What’s that?"
"A sword no one can use. The moment you grab it, it drains all your magic energy. One guy died from it. Even Leo only held it for a few seconds before collapsing to his knees."
"If it’s that dangerous, shouldn’t it just be destroyed...!?"
"According to the鉴定, though, this is said to be the most powerful weapon..."
He turned, heading back toward the door.
"Still, if it can’t be used, it’s just junk, really."
