106 – For the Shrine
‘The Bow.’
The secondary weapon Shiwoon thought of was a bow.
Eyes with a visual acuity of 13.0 And shoulders that are closer to beasts than humans.
‘A bow is the best way to use these two bodies.’
However.
Siwoon has never even pulled a bowstring, let alone a bow. She flashed into his mind.
‘Hyeryeong Kang.’
Archery Medalist. She is also known as the Shinto shrine. She was talking to her and she was pretty close.
‘I need to learn how to handle a bow from Kang Hye-ryeong.’
I took out my phone from my pocket dance and listened.
– 1 Missed call.
Hyeryeong Kang.
‘Missed Call? Kang Hye-ryeong?’
It was unexpected. She just thought she’d give her a call, but her name was on the missed calls.
‘I’m not the type to contact anyone first.’
Above all, Siwoon, who guessed her personality, couldn’t help but be quite surprised.
She called her right away.
After a few beeps.
-Hello.
Answering her phone while stammering uncharacteristically for her.
“Uh, sister. Did you call I checked now.”
-Ah, I clicked the wrong button. Her finger was crooked and she pressed it wrong.
“Really? Rather, do you have time tomorrow?”
-Tomorrow?
She is quite surprised and asks back. It’s a little surprising that she suddenly asks if I have time.
– Why? It’s not that you’re interested in me, so I’m asking to see you……
“No, it’s not like that. I want to learn how to shoot a bow from my older sister.”
– A bow? Why the bow?
“I’m tired of only using a sword, and I want to try shooting a bow while trying to handle other weapons.”
I roughly covered it.
Si-woon knows Hye-ryeong’s personality well.
She keeps herself in check, she always needs to be better than others, so she doesn’t have to give her room.
-I see. Tomorrow?
“Yes, tomorrow.”
-That’s right. Well, see you tomorrow
Wonderful? Usually, if she’s a girl, she’ll shoot once and say, “Why am I meeting you?” This reaction should come out.
“I will call you tomorrow. What are you doing?”
-What am I doing, just at home…. Ah, but why are you asking about other people’s private lives?
“I was just curious. And are we the others? It’s definitely not an exaggeration to say that they’re colleagues now.”
– Colleagues what! Hang up Please contact me tomorrow
Dude.
Just like that, the call ended.
Anyway, there were Ranger Hunters around, so it was fortunate that I could get help at a time like this.
‘Besides, she’s not an ordinary ranger hunter.’
Because she was a proven best shooter that overwhelms other rangers.

After a day has passed, a calm and vast sky floats above the wind.
This is an archery range with a grassy field below it.
Siwoon meets Hyeryung and observes her drawing her bowstring.
I have learned the basics of handling Gakgung.
“Hey, look closely. Like this, wrap the jumtong over the jumson and put the arrow up and insert it, and this, right hand. Pull the bowstring with your right hand! And stretch your left hand out. And if you let go of the protest.”
Bang!
Papapa-
An arrow flying from Hye-ryeong’s Gakgung draws a flexible trajectory and hits a target 300m ahead! Plugged in
“Wow!”
Siwoon exclaimed.
Because I saw with Siwoon’s eyes that I had hit the center of the target 300m ahead.
Hyeryeong narrowly opened her eyes and looked at the distant target.
“Are you centered? Anyway, I shot it roughly, but I can’t see it faintly here.”
“It was right in the middle. In the middle of the red circle inside the yellow circle.”
“What? How do you know I can’t even see it.”
“I see it in my eyes. My eyesight is different from others.”
“You see an arrow stuck in that target from here?”
Hyeryeong’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Siwoon.
‘This guy. Rumor has it that her eyesight is several times that of others.’
Hyeryeong didn’t believe the rumor.
“Anyway! As I said, give it a shot. Hey! Do you consider it an honor to receive one-on-one shooting lessons from me?”
“Of course not.”
One-on-one customized tutoring from Korea’s best archers. It was valuable to Siwoon.
Siwoon stood on his feet and aimed his horn bow forward.
“Left foot and right foot switched! And grip!”
Hyeryeong approached and tapped Siwoon’s left hand.
“You said grip is important. The left hand supporting the bow should accurately hold the center of the grip and push it.”
“Yes! I understand, Master.”
“Hey, hey. Be careful. Just by looking at your form, do you have a feeling that the arrow you shot will get stuck in your arm?”
Hye-ryeong throws her cold jokes without even laughing.
‘Let’s pull it now.’
She pulled the string of her bowstring taut.
“Hey! I told you to draw straight.”
Hyeryeong growls! Distanced Hye-ryeong said that drawing should be done slowly and with feeling.
“I told you to do anchor! Oh, it blows my mind.”
Hye-ryeong crosses her arms and points out like a tiger teacher. Since it was Siwoon’s first time shooting an arrow, it was only natural that he was sloppy.
She was Dan Hye-ryeong who wouldn’t even look at that.
Siwoon was focused.
‘When anchoring, hold the bow’s hand under his chin or at the tip of his lips.’
In Shi-woon’s mind, Hye-ryeong’s movements when she just shot an arrow are detailed! It went by quickly. This was also the ability through the eye of Siwoon.
“Hey, hey! Hey!! Pay attention to follow through! I mean, pay attention to your posture after firing. Just pull it.”
Pain!
“Haa….”
Moment. The arrow that flew along with the string of the bowstring was pulled and rolled on the floor in front of the woman’s nose.
“I mean hold your breath until right before you pull and shoot. Didn’t you shoot a gun in the army? It’s like that. Try again.”
“Okay, okay.”
Si-woon was about to shrink thanks to Hye-ryeong, who was very angry.
‘Again.’
I got her stance.
She lifted the Gakgung again.
Gakgung. A traditional bow with a range of up to 350 meters and excellent destructive power.
‘Put an arrow into Zoompy.’
After pulling the string, or string, I fixed my hand to my lips, and the string crushed my lips.
“Wait! As it is. Stop breathing!”
Hye-ryeong watched Si-woon with her hawk eyes. Her eyes darkened.
‘This guy explained about 10 minutes, but he has a good attitude, right? Usually, it takes more than 10 minutes just to memorize bow terms.’
The moment Hye-ryeong was immersed in her thoughts.
Siwoon’s eyes moved smoothly.
With his eyes.
A small shimmer in the lawn. Beyond that, the target of the white board. Even the small scratch marks on the color of the target caught my eye.
‘Go.’
Bang! Let go of his hand
Pak! -Parr.
Hyeryeong’s head turned around following the flying arrow.
“What, what? I think I hit the target….”
Hyeryeong was also surprised, as if she couldn’t believe it. No. She couldn’t help but be surprised.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when the guy who had been holding the bow for 10 minutes now shot an arrow in the direction of a target that was 300 meters away.
Papapapapat!
From noble mtl dot com
“Hey, hey! Shoot slowly……… “
Hyeryeong’s words had to stop. She moved his hand and drew an arrow from the quiver like a madman, and eventually shot four arrows.
But all four of his feet are pointed at the target, and it seems that they are stuck in the target.
“Now, wait a minute. Hey! Wait for a sec.”
After Hye-ryeong grabbed Shi-woon’s arm and pointed her bow down, she quickly ran towards the target.
Took.
Hyeryeong’s eyes arrived in front of the target. No, even her mouth was trembling.
‘What…… What? How are you? Does that make sense?’
All five arrows were stuck right in the center of the target.
She turned her head with a cold expression.
“How is it? You got it all right?!”
Siwoon, who was shouting from afar, seemed to already know this surprising fact.
Her eyes grew cold as she stared at Siwoon.
‘That bastard. How…… “
I didn’t understand. It took a lot of sweat and years to develop this level of accuracy at this distance.
‘I can’t believe it. No, it must be luck.’
It couldn’t have been luck, but I wanted to believe that. It’s not a matter of talent. Because it was just out of the human realm.
Hye-ryeong, who arrived next to Si-woon, asked Si-woon to shoot more arrows, and six arrows flew in Si-woon’s hand.
Running back to the target, Hye-ryeong stumbled as she felt her lower body loosen up.
‘Mi, crazy… …. This is nonsense.’
She turned her head and looked at Siwoon with her astonished eyes.
With a calm face, the guy is examining the various palaces here and there.
Tumbling – I approached Siwoon with weak steps.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
“The arrows you shot. It’s all on the target. Also right in the middle….”
“I know, I can see it here.”
“What? You say ‘I know’? Aren’t you surprised by this situation?”
“See if I am good at shooting.”
“Say, you must be good at marksmanship?”
Hyeryeong was even more angry at the guy’s unsurprising reaction.
She spent a lot of blood and sweat to hit the target that distance.
‘But this guy in 10 minutes!’
Emotions that I have never felt before are holding up to the younger man in front of me.
She always thought that her talent was superior to others, and her players were jealous of Hye-ryeong’s talent.
‘I’m jealous of such a younger guy? Is that in my field?’
Adduk! Hye-ryeong’s neat teeth were grinding.
“I am hungry. Let’s go I will live on rice, as a commemoration of receiving tutoring.”
“……….”
Hye-ryeong looked at Si-woon intently without saying a word.
People who were watching Siwoon and Hyeryung from a distance whispered.
That’s right, they were the members of the club who were obsessed with bows.
“This is Kang Hye-ryeong! Does that person come to this archery range often?”
“Rather than that, did you see that guy shooting an arrow? Are you a player? Your face is unfamiliar.”
“That handsome man? Why?”
“Because I was watching you all the time, right? It seemed like Hye-ryeong Kang was just taking a bow lesson, but that man shot an arrow right away, right? However, it seems that all of those arrows flew into the target far away.”
“It seems Kang Hye-ryeong is a new player.”
“Will Hye-ryeong have time for that? Did you know that she became a Hunter?”
“Hmm? Then who is that man?”
“It must be a lover. She is a former medalist and even has a job as a hunter. Is there no man next to her?”
“Oh, right? But.”
The members of the club chatted while observing them even leaving the archery range.
* * *
“My mouth is watering…. This.”
Siwoon swallows saliva and looks at the ribs being seared on the grill with heart-filled eyes.
Hye-ryeong silently looked at such a trial, no, strangely.
‘This guy. You said you got a perfect score on the Hunter exam? And what? His eyesight is several times that of others, and his level is 90. Ha.’
The more I think about it, the more I hate to admit it.
I didn’t want to admit it.
Hye-ryeong, she is this younger man with a talent far superior to her own.
But again, I didn’t hate strange things.
“Hey, give it to me. I will bake.”
Hye-ryeong reached out for the tongs in her meat-grilling Si-woon’s hand, and Si-woon shook her head.
“Okay. I’ll bake. I got tutoring from the best ‘Shingung’ in Korea, but I have to buy rice and cook the meat myself.”
“……….”
Hye-ryeong felt even more strange when a guy like this mentioned the word ‘new palace’ to her.
“Aunt! Give me a bottle of soju!”
Hye-ryeong raised her hand and said.
“Soju? Suddenly?”
“I just want to have a drink because my stomach is burning, isn’t it?”
“Then, let’s eat together.”
When the bottle of soju arrived on the table, Hye-ryeong opened the lid, poured the soju into her glass, and drank it right away.
“Big….”
“Why are you drinking so fast?”
“You don’t have to know, you.”
As the alcohol travels down her throat, the accumulated stress melts away and her entire body feels relaxed.
‘Chit. Siwoon Lee. I will definitely be superior to you. I can’t stand being under anyone.’
On the other hand, I feel jealous.
He happily chewed the meat and said, “Wow! It’s delicious. The flesh melts, melts!” Looking at her muttered face, she felt a strange emotion as well.
‘No, Kang Hye-ryeong. Kang Hye-ryeong! You don’t have a crush on a younger guy like this, do you?’
“What do you think?”
When Shi-woon asks, Pak and Hye-ryeong, surprised, pour soju into her soju glass.
“Why are you making your own? I will follow you.”
“Hey, take a drink too. I’ll give it to you.”
Shochu served in Siwoon’s glass. Siwoon holds out the glass of soju, toasts with Hyeryeong, and drinks it.
“Kya-Does the alcohol taste good?”
” Don’t say ‘Kyaa’. If a young guy knows what alcohol tastes like, how much do you know?”
At that, Shiwoon laughed.
‘Now I’m 24 years old, but my ‘real’ age is much older than you. I know how simple and bitter alcohol tastes.’
“Why are you splitting the threads?”
“No. What have you been doing in the present world?”
“What are you doing, what are you doing? .”
Hye-ryeong’s face became gloomy. She didn’t actually do anything in the present world.
She took prescribed drugs and had a crush on people, so she just stayed alone. She was ashamed to answer that she had been shut out by herself.
“Hey, Siwoon Lee.”
“Huh?”
Hye-ryeong’s face was quite sincere.
“I have a question. Because of my personality, I have to ask questions right away. So… Let’s ask one thing….”
