11 Bandits

They held a knife in their right hand. To be precise, a wide single-edged short-sword. Another weird monster looked like a mix of a horse(tail and body) and a lizard (feet and face).

"You... Who the hell are you?" A guy on my back yelled. Then I noticed, I'm surrounded by a group of around 10 people, who have the same sense of fashion and also stood afar a bunch of people and children with puzzled faces.

"Can't you hear, Tell us who are you?" Another guy yelled.

[I sensed the situation, it is best to get out from here.]

"Oh, sorry, sorry, my bad. A monster from the forest threw me here. It's not like I was running and I crashed into this...." I looked beneath, the only thing visible were some broken wooden pieces and two large wooden wheels. "thing."

Everyone is silent.

"Thank you and have a good day, now bye" I bowed and walked towards my right, I don't care even if it is not the right way, but as long as I am out of here is fine.

"Stop!" A voice emerged from behind me. My only option left is to dash as I did earlier, but this time these guys blocked my way the moment he said to stop.

"Yes!" I turned behind with a fake smile. The voice seemed to come out from a fancy tent that stood a few meters away from me.

A man came out from inside a tent. He looked a little older than me, probably in his late twenties. His physique is more or less like the guys who surrounded me. The only thing different with him is his bandana, it is yellow-colored.

"You..." Pointing his index finger towards me. "Do you think you can escape after damaging our goods and cart?"

"Like I said, it isn't my fault. A mon..."

"Enough of this... It's decided that you are the one guilty, you have no more to talk" He commanded. "Now, how will you pay for it?" He rubbed his hands together, his greedy smile covered half of his face.

"You can check, I don't have any money on me." I raised my hands 90 degrees sideways from my waist so they can have a thorough check. On a head sign from the guy with a yellow bandana, a man came forward really did scan my clothes, I guess they don't believe me at all.

"He has nothing on him, Boss Muro"

"Huh?" With an annoyed look, "Then kill him here and use his body as food for the Dagoons (monsters which look like horse and lizard)."

"What?" A red bandana guy closest to me charged towards me.

[I have two options, one, to use the lightning magic, and second, to use the power to bring anything out of thin air.]

I chose option two and thought of a medium-range weapon because I didn't want to risk my life using a kitchen knife.

[Gun... Yes, a gun is what I want, like seen on T.V. shows., it has a body, trigger, bullet, and cartridge.]

Nothing appeared in my hand.

[Oh shit, think...think]

I recalled all the guns I ever saw in my life.

My hand is getting heavy, something is appearing in my hand, I didn't open my eyes. I can hear the guy's heavy footsteps as he approached me but don't think of it, think of the gun.

I felt a trigger on my hand.

[Yes, I can do it.]

Without a moment of hesitation, I pulled the trigger as I aimed its body towards the guy.

*shoot*

The sound from the gun was unexpectedly low, but the guy successfully fell to the ground. It's my first time killing someone, but I feel no remorse. It more felt like I wanted to continue shooting.

"Ah... What was that?" The guy who was lying on the ground now is standing up on his legs.

I looked at the gun which I held in my hand.

[It's a freaking Nerf gun.]
