As I was about to argue with the damn system, Leon did something that made my heart jump.

He was actually waving around the small shotgun like a sword, swinging it around in circles or in a crisscrossed motion. Then, he suddenly aimed the gun at my face. "What does this do?" 

"Ahhh stop!" My face contorted into fear and my legs grew weak.

[What if I accidentally die due to having my brains blown out by this fool?] The orcs were closing in and I needed to quickly explain the weapon works.

"Don't do anything yet, that weapon is dangerous... Stop pointing it at me!" I slowly backed away as he sheepishly lowered the gun while looking confused, he looked at my face with a hint of embarrassment.

[I guess this guy forgot about the enemies already...]

"Listen, this is called a gun, a shotgun... It's a close range weapon. Uh, hey! Stop swinging it around!"

"You said it's a close range weapon..."

"Yes but it's not a sword! Think of it as a crossbow but with a smaller range. You need to press the trigger over there to discharge it, but don't press it yet!" I said as I pointed to the trigger area of the gun. Cold sweat drizzled down my forehead as I quickly prevented him from pulling the trigger.

"You should aim for the head, and get as close as possible to the orcs before shooting, this way you can dish out more damage. Oh yeah, bullets are equivalent to bolts in a crossbow and there are only twelve bullets attached to that weapon. So every shot must count!"

[System, how does the reloading works?]

I'm not sure if I want to tell you anything anymore...

But since this is important, as long as there are bullets attached to the weapon slot, for example, 12 shotgun bullet was attached to weapon 1. All you need to do is run out of ammo or shout or think about the term "reload" then the reloading process would commence, the reload time for this gun is 3 seconds.

I quickly relayed this information to Leon and I think that this was pretty much it. He looked like he was trying to process and remember every detail as it is necessary for the survival of not only him, but also me. Furthermore, he truly wanted revenge on these orcs for what they did to his village. He was trying his best not to let rage get the better of him. Instead, he's actually more laid back than he should be, but I think that's just an act he's putting on a brave act.

Pretty soon after a few seconds after my explanation, the orcs have arrived and had surrounded us on all front. Running would be useless now. Well, I mean we could have kept on running but the orcs were too fast for me. Leon could have left me and escaped after I healed him, but I'm glad he didn't.

[Dammit, they surrounded us, I wish I had another gun for self-protection but I guess I would have to run if any orcs come for me]

"The orcs are level 9, I just hope that this weapon can close the gap," Leon said as he shoved me behind him.

"My family sacrificed themselves so that I could run and live, but I passed out along the way and had almost bled to death. So many people died trying to save me, and that would have all been a waste if you also weren't here to stop my bleeding"

"Thank you, I will try my best to repay everything" He had a sad tone. I too would be sad if my whole family died, but luckily it was only me inside the house that day and it was only me who was burnt to death.

Suddenly, he charged out swiftly. The orcs were looking down on us like ants and only one of the orcs moved to contest Leon.

[I think he put all his points into agility? I don't know much about what kind of attributes the people of the world can upgrade, but this guy looks a little to fast for a level 4? Well I don't have much data to compare or make a judgement on topics like this, so I'm only guessing]

The one orc that broke the encirclement and came to 'greet' Leon was standing tall and was laughing mockingly.

Leon rushed towards him and jumped. He jumped really high and pointed the gun at the orcs head. The orc was going to grab him in the air but suddenly...

'Puchi' 

The orcs head just exploded like a crushed watermelon. I winced as I saw the blood and brain matter splatter into the air.

Defeat all Enemies! (1/12)

[Wait, why did it count as my success? I didn't personally defeat the orc]

Well although Leon killed the orc, the defeat does count if you assisted in doing so. Since you healed Leon earlier, which is a common supportive move, any further kills will be counted as your assists. 

[Nice, now I can sit back and relax and wait for the rewards to roll in]

"Roar!" The orcs simultaneously bellowed in deep anger as they watch their brethren fall to the ground like a piece of dead meat.

[Shit!]

The remaining ten orcs had split up, eight went to Leon while two were rushing towards me. Meanwhile, Leon was staring at the Mozambique with a hint of dumbfoundedness and awe. At least there is one person who likes the gun...
