Lucky you

As you doubled checked to make sure your rifle was unloaded you soon holstered it onto your back standing up with little Anthony in your arms as you went to inspect the targets. The smell of gunpowder was still fresh in the air and at first Anthony had hated the smell when you had first taken him shooting however now not only was he used to it but he was excited whenever he smelled it. As you looked over the first target you smiled as you noticed a medium sized scorch mark as the fireball spell you had channeled through your rifle had become more focused like you had hoped. The next target showed three holes in an even grouping with some residual water dripping off the metal targets it appeared your water spells had finally achieved the right amount of pressure to pierce through solid metal good. Finally walking over to your last target you saw that the metal target covered in many fine and by the looks of it sharp pieces of earth with an even spread perfect looks like your mastery of the elements was progressing slow if not surely.

You smiled as you were about to walk back when a voice spoke. "I'll say you must be quite the sharpshooter to get nice groupings like that with spells." As you turned around you came face to face with a brown haired student, with a Wyvern Pin on his sweater, about your height with his own Winchester rifle in hand. "Yeah it took me a lot of practice to get my spells as concentrated and accurate as this." you replied as you rested Anthony against your shoulder. "The name's Pierce Winchester what's yours?"

"Nathan BlackThorn." You replied as Pierce extended out a hand to which you shook it. "I have heard a lot of things about you Nathan tell me is that your son on your shoulder?" Pierce asked you narrowed your eyes as you subtly began reaching for your Colt M1911. "Yeah what of it?" you replied calmly. "It reminds me of my folks you know I wasn't even a few months old when my old man took me out to the range much like you and your kid course he had to lie to my mom lest she have a heart attack." Pierce said chuckling before he spoke once more. "So what kind of gun do you shoot? I personally prefer to use the Model 1895." Pierce said as he held up a longer but similar looking rifle. You grinned before taking out your own rifle. "My grandma got me this Model 1894 Deluxe Short Rifle as my first gun and I have been attached ever since." You said before putting it back on your back. "Huh its been a while since I have seen anyone use my family's old lever actions most of our clients prefer our hunting rifles instead but its good to see Model 94 every once in a while." He said much to your confusion.

"Yeah based on the look on your face I assume you thought my name was just coincidence but nope I am Pierce Winchester heir to the Winchester Arms Company." He said scratching his head. "Well be sure to tell your dad his guys know how to make a rifle because I hardly ever use my wand anymore now that I can use this rifle as a medium for channeling my magic." You replied much to Pierce's shock. "Your different you know most people look down on my family in disgust especially because of our specific line of work making guns that end millions of live in the non-magical world." Pierce said with a frown. "Yeah well as I am sure you know my dad's a serial killer so welcome to the club I know what it's like to be an outcast besides people will always find a way to kill other people so even if your folks didn't make guns someone else would and it wouldn't make a difference all the same what matters is that you don't be like those people." You replied.

"Your not at all like what other students told me hell I heard rumors you were a creepy necromancer with a hatred for everyone and anyone." Pierce said much to your surprise as the two of you walked back to campus. " you only chuckled gently patting your son on the back before stopping and holding your son in front of you. "Well as you can see by this little guy right here I sure as hell don't kick puppies and summon the dead okay maybe I do but not as often as people think." You replied. "Yeah your definitely different I never thought the school pariah would be only other gun nut besides me here on campus." Pierce remarked as the two of you laughed. "Yeah well as your RA I will take offense to that and will remember that next time your locked out of your room." You joked much to Pierce's surprise. "So your the new RA Veronica won't shut up about!" You raised an eyebrow before replying. "Veronica you mean the black haired RA from House Pegasus right?" you asked.

"Yeah that's the one she said a lot of good things about you supposedly the first good RA she had seen in a while." Pierce said nonchalantly as the two of you finally reached the campus outskirts. "Well didn't know that well alright I gotta go Pierce because this little guy is due for a nap soon otherwise the wife will kill me." you said jokingly. Pierce only nodded his head before replying. "Dude I get it but anyways it was nice meeting a fellow gun nut hit me up some time if you want to just shoot some guns or just chill I am up in Room 309 in Wyvern." Pierce said holding out his hand. You smiled shaking his hand firmly before replying. "I'll take you up on that Pierce see ya." and with that you walked towards your dorm. It was only when you reached to unlock your door that you had made your first real friend besides your loving wife of course. You had snuck out and gotten some range time while watching the little one and your wife was none the wiser however that illusion soon failed when you saw your wife standing in front of you her arms crossed over her F-Cup breasts with a frown covering her face as she tapped her foot expectingly its looks like you had been caught red handed as it was obvious she saw the rifle slung over your back.

"Hi hun lovely to see you back from classes Anthony and I missed you." You said lamely trying and failing to hold back her obvious anger as she stared you down with those fierce brown eyes of hers.
