Really? Someone Stole Panties With Magic?

School, I lost count how boring it was for number of netizens outside the Imperial States, not Angevine, to do school tasks that adds up to one's academics, not the club-related ones.

In the Imperial States, it was like that for the "Going Home Club". But for myself, I damn enjoyed it because of Target Shooting Club and other gun sports clubs due to being with gun sports being part of my childhood, part of culture, and the gun law which Cara called it as "almost similar to her former world's Czech and Finnish gun laws".

It was that thing alone who made me, enjoyed my student life outside my job, and a chance of meeting one of my girls.

I had done a lot. It's part of my life.

In this fantasy world of magic, the school itself had almost similar setup like almost a typical isekai one with no club but with additional add-ons such as adventurer, swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, etc.

Since I know almost everything which led to myself being exempted thanks to Cara and Yuna, I picked up archery and swordsmanship for myself to do something everything to remove my boredom. It's not I did it for my love to Anri when we were our former selves but to practice for situations that I won't be needing my 'magic devices'.

They did say better than never.

"This, Anri?"

"Yes, Caesar. Now release the bow string."

"Okay." Releasing the traditional 'Mongolian' recurve bow's string, I watched the arrow making flight to 25-meter distance round target.

THUD!

"Nice! That's your first robin hood in the morning." cheered Anri.

"Thank you, Anri." I thanked her then gave her a loving head pat after giving back the training recurve bow she borrowed from the school.

"Hehe🎵" happily commented Anri. "Think of it as returning the favor when you taught me how to shoot that day at the club including Fast Draw."

I smiled. "I love remembering it you know. Before we started going out, you and Jamielyn were super cute."

"Caesar, d-don't remind me that!" Anri said, as she started blushing at what I said. "Katsumi-chan, Julienne, Ekaterina, Sayuri, Erica-senpai, and Ellie were there! We could not even look at each other straightly after your help even Sayuri and Erica-senpai."

Laughing at her diabetes-inducing cuteness, I gave her a kiss on her right cheek. "Sorry Anri, it's true though. You were all too adorable to remember."

Leaving the archery training field after returning the lent archery gear, we went to the other melee training ground to fetch Leen and Hana.

While we were on our way there, I thought about trying out the beginner training dungeon used by the other classes who had met the requirements, for giving Leen, Hana, and Anri, a combat experience while making money at the same time.

Not counting the other two and myself, Leen really needed combat experience against monsters we'll be experiencing in our plan in forming our adventurer party, and some situations that require 'force' such as the foiled assassination against Admiral Isoroku Yamato of IJN, and the Korean Ambassador and his staff, by the brain-washed communist scourges when I was in Japan as one of the redirected sniper teams in helicopter after casualties of the US Ambassador and 2 of staff members and members of the security detail was reported to our teams, a joint-raid against the racist Ku Klax Klan bastards and other 'pests' in the USA, etc.

"Thinking about some plan, Caesar?" asked Anri.

"Yeah, giving Leen some combat experience while we make money as students." I answered.

"By going to the training dungeon?"

I nodded.

"We can do that but we need to have Leen register as apprentice adventurer and pass the requirements to see if she's capable enough to go in if you know what I mean."

"Indeed. I don't really like her to be left out."

Anri smiled slightly. "You really cared Leen, Darling."

"Yep."

---

"Congratulations, you are now an apprentice adventurer!" said the female guild staff purple-haired beastkin cat girl, Raiden, who gave Leen her license. "Leen, if you have questions, feel free to ask Cara, Yuna, or Caesar nyaa~"

"O-okay."

"I have one, Raiden." I spoke. "How do we get an access to the beginner training dungeon?"

"You'll need an entry pass, one person each, nyaa." answered Raiden. "I had no doubts you'll meet the requirements, Caesar, since you were trained by Cara and Yuna and did hunting quests with them. From the reports, you were a crack shot and skilled for your age and as apprentice adventurer. Your friends, however, will need an assessment."

"May I know what kind of assessment?" I asked, being careful not to use my neutral tone I used for 'business'.

"Checking their reactions and mana pool with guild staff and a respected adventurer. I am ready to volunteer for that, nyaa." replied Raiden as I noticed her sudden excited smile and tail because of familiar mana signatures coming to our direction. "And speaking of adventurers, we got the required people already."

Knowing what she meant, I nodded my head in what she said then turning behind to the familiar face of Cara and Yuna smiling at us. "They're excellent teachers. I am confident Leen will get her pass."

-

Before the girls went for assessment, I told them that I'll be back for small walk outside the Guild. They all agreed with a condition I'll not disappear which was very impossible to do unless there's an emergency and that I should contact Cara about it.

Watching the townsfolks and adventurers coming in and out from establishments while at the nearby resting bench, I took a bite from newly out from the oven pandesal.

Pandesal, this thing, the bread roll, was my favorite alongside melonpan and what I ate for my afternoon snack and breakfast in my past life. Hearing it for the first time there's such one, I bought it and damn, that thing's tasted good when fresh from the oven.

So, from my walk, I bought 14 pieces of pandesal, and 14 pieces of melonpan today. I had the container stored with [Dimensional Storage] while our food and drinks including preparations for our dinner were taken care of by Yuna, Cara, and Anri.

Just as I was eating, I narrowed my eyes at what was about to happen right in the middle of the effing road and public.

"[STEEEEEEEAAAAL]!"

"NOOOOOOO! G-GIVE ME BACK MY PANTIES!" cried out the poor young-looking woman who had her panties stolen by a rapscallion male teen adventurer who was running away while whirling it in the air like a cowboy would do with a lasso to capture an outlaw or something.

"PANTIES!"

'Ah shit, here we again.' Annoyed at the rapscallion for ruining my mood in afternoon snack and giving me a view of the victim's lavender panties, with my drawn automatic revolver loaded with 5 rubber bullets applied with a mixture of paralyze and stun spell, finishing off the bread roll, I stood up and run after him.

'[Reequip]!'

In the Imperial States, we have almost closer to "right to bear arms" which was true except that it's a "right to defend own life or life of another person also with arms under conditions stipulated by law" you could find from Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Nonexistent gun crimes there because of it and part of the culture since December 25,1823. For this annoying case happening with a fact that I'm currently an apprentice adventurer in my new life, I'm going to use my gun to put down this muppet for stealing someone's panties.

Jumping over to the rooftop, having my face hidden and wearing new set of clothes, I finally got my range and clear view on him below.

He wore a green vest made up of some cotton on top of the white polo shirt, khaki pants, and boots. His sheathed weapon was a tanto.

Aiming my gun at his direction, I shook my head. As much I prefer using a rifle as I would in those times I got in a helicopter for support, my current growing body, much to my annoyance, could not carry it yet except for prone shooting even if it has the gun sling. That's why I had to use my revolvers all the time unless I'm born as one of those winged seraphkin peeps, a human with wings on their backs who can hide their wings whenever they want.

'With this single bullet, you won't get a day.' Zeroing applied, I pulled a trigger, sending the magic bullet flying.

"OUCH!"

'Bull's eye!' Watching the bullet does to the sap with the stolen panties retrieved by a female gendarmerie who had one of her squadmates shaking his head, I chuckled a bit as I then took out my magic tablet to record the scene. It'll be glorious and hilarious for explanation to the girls why I almost took so long.

'This should do.' Satisfied recording it for 45 seconds, using [Dimensional Storage], I stored my magic tablet and left the scene after [Reequip]-ping myself back with previous clothing set.

'Right, I need to put a theft protection in my clothes and tell the girls.... I'm very lucky that my cheat weapons are immune.'
