Junpyo Kang.
Ranked 3rd in Class D in the Combat Department.
He was born into a family of archers, and originally intended to enter Prow Academy, which had a reputation for archery.
However, he failed in the entrance exam.
He had no choice but to enroll in the Zenix Academy.
At first, Zenix Academy also had a separate archery department that focused on bows.
However, the archery department of Xenix Academy recorded less than its quota every year, and it became a department that handles swordsmanship + archery comprehensively with a new name, Combat Department.
Literally, consolidation.
On the other hand, Kang Jun-pyo has not yet abandoned his attachment to Prow Academy.
I was planning on getting decent grades here at Xenix Academy, and based on that, aiming for a transfer to Prow Academy.
Did his earnestness work?
In today’s archery class, Professor Park said that he was conducting a surprise test with a ‘Xenix ring’, so I couldn’t help but be excited.
Although he was in the lower class, Class D, Kang Jun-pyo was confident because he had a good understanding of archery.
Even out of 10 shots.
The 2nd shot failed to aim at the zero point and did not show a perfect appearance, but he judged that there was no classmate with exceptional archery skills than himself.
‘Good. Looks like you got the Jennix ring as a butt. It’s only after that shitty guy is done.’
Now, only the order of Cha Min-jun, who had the lowest ranking in Class D, remained.
Kang Jun-pyo thought it was not necessary to watch Cha Min-jun’s turn.
That would be too.
Archery, swordsmanship, magic, etc.
Since he was Cha Min-joon, who was nothing special, it was impossible to imagine falling behind him in any event.
Kang Jun-pyo just wanted Cha Min-jun to quickly waste his ten arrows.
***
Cha Min-joon hardened his heart.
In the meantime, I couldn’t keep my eyes off the notification message that appeared in front of me.
[The quest is granted.]
Quest: Out of 10 arrows, hit 9 or more.
Reward: Slight increase in Agility mastery, Slight increase in Accuracy mastery. Granted 5,000G.
‘quest?!’
A situation similar to the original story also happened to Minjun.
quest.
In the original ＜Daddy’s Palace＞, the quest was given to the main character every time.
Depending on whether or not the quest is accomplished, the main character has the momentum for rapid growth.
In case of success, a certain amount of gold was given as well as a stat increase, which was the most necessary currency to purchase another talent.
Minjun couldn’t delay the time like this, so he put his finger on the string without hesitation.
Minjun raised his bow in the direction of the target, repeating his old teacher’s guidance.
‘Minjun, the bow is the same as your own mindset. The shoulders should be level, but the angle of the bow should always be vertical. Don’t forget.’
It was like the beginning when I first grabbed the bow.
Not only was there no trembling of the hands that I had lived through in this life, nor was there any shaking in the zero point control.
‘I’m in the best condition!’
Min-joon felt as if he had been reborn at the stability he hadn’t felt in a long time.
It was a bow rod I hadn’t held in 10 years, but it was rather familiar.
‘now!’
I held my breath for three seconds and released the bowstring I had drawn.
The arrow danced as it was and flew rapidly towards the target.
grasp-!
“… … !!”
It didn’t exactly hit the center, though.
The arrows almost arrived at the hit points on the target board, which was made considering the level of class D.
For a first step, this level of accuracy is quite good.
Kang Joon-pyo of the world did not even hit the mark with his first shot, so the students were surprised by Min-jun’s first shot.
“Hey, you hit it almost right in the middle with the first shot?”
“Cha Min-jun, you’re lucky.”
“Your bangs cover your face, but are you shooting while it is visible?”
“Is it better than Kang Jun-pyo for a first step?”
“Guys, this is just the first step. don’t you know that That the first kick is a dog kick?”
All the D class students thought the same.
It must have been luck rather than skill.
Kang Joon-pyo, who is well versed in archery, thought so at first.
“Heh, making a fuss with only one foot. A bow is not judged by one shot. You look at the overall accuracy.”
“Also!”
“Isn’t there a headwind blowing in the slightest? You don’t even know where the arrow flew?”
Kang Jun-pyo was convinced.
That Cha Min-joon would not be able to shoot an arrow more compliant than the first shot.
Meanwhile, Cha Min-joon, who didn’t feel bad about the first shot, started shooting the remaining arrows with a rapid-fire cannon.
Poo-!
Poo-!
Minjun fired the arrow with the shortest aiming time possible.
The longer the release, the lower the accuracy, and the current rhythm wasn’t bad.
Although, I haven’t fully adapted to Cha Min-joon’s body yet.
At least the aftereffects, such as the pain and hand tremors felt while shooting the bow, were gone, so there was nothing to get in the way.
In addition.
The arrows that were fired even came close to the center of the target board.
Professor Park Ki-chan, who had no expectations for Cha Min-joon, was startled.
‘Since when did you shoot a bow so skillfully? Wasn’t it something I didn’t know about?!’
Professor Park was impressed with Cha Min-joon’s bow skills as he hit the target board with 7 shots.
At most, I thought that Kang Jun-pyo would be at the level of compliance.
In addition to showing more stability than that, it was rather Cha Min-joon who had high accuracy.
There was even anticipation in the part where he still had two arrows left.
Poo-!
Poo-!
Dan Cha Min-jun shot all ten arrows in an instant.
Although one shot flew behind the bull’s-eye board in a sudden headwind, no matter what anyone said, the first place in this test was Cha Min-jun.
“Cha Min-jun, 9 points!”
[The quest has been completed.]
[Agility skill has increased slightly.]
[Accuracy skill has increased slightly.]
[You have acquired 5,000G.]
The process was not easy, but Min-jun shot an arrow with more effort than ever.
Perhaps because of that, out of 10 arrows.
A reward was given to him when he completed the quest by hitting a whopping 9 shots at the target.
‘Really give!’
Cha Min-joon felt the sense of accomplishment of completing the quest and the fact that he received the highest score here.
It was thrilling, so this feeling of joy that I felt after 10 years came as a bonus.
‘I can really draw a bow!’
Meanwhile, the test of the D class students ended with Cha Min-joon last.
Due to the completely unexpected result, Kang Jun-pyo and other class D students could not accept this situation.
“Nonsense. That guy is number one.”
“What kind of a Jenix ring is this guy who can’t see properly! I can’t understand this.”
“It’s clear that he drank the elixir without our knowledge. I saw with these two eyes that I went to the bathroom separately earlier. He must have cheated on something before class.”
“For a guy like that to take the ring is a disgrace to Class D!”
Kang Joon-pyo was like that too.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s another test.
The archery you are most confident in.
It was also impossible for him to lose to Cha Min-joon, whom he usually thought of as an insignificant hunter.
‘Yeah, there’s absolutely no way that guy like that suddenly shoots a bow well overnight! There must be something catchy!’
To everyone’s suspicion, Professor Park also carefully observed Cha Min-joon.
Among the many abilities of the Hunter.
Of course, he suspected that he might have drank a ‘mysterious elixir’ that focused on one part, but Professor Park had no such feeling at all.
‘No, it’s absolutely not the power of the elixir. However, it would not be all the more so that he gathered his mana and shot it. This is pure skill. I only have this!’
Professor Park was convinced.
There was no way that he, who had taught so many trainees, couldn’t distinguish even this much.
Rather, it was Cha Min-jun who showed more skill than Kang Jun-pyo, who was from a family of archers.
This part could not be denied no matter what anyone said.
Professor Park immediately corrected the cluttered atmosphere.
“How come your classmates are slandering and slandering each other like this? Elixir? Cha Min-joon only proved himself with his skills. If I had used a trick like an elixir, I would have noticed it a long time ago. Isn’t that right, Cha Min-joon?”
Minjun nodded as Professor Park looked at him.
“I don’t do anything stupid like that. At least in front of this bow.”
The D class students were taken aback by Minjun’s remarks.
Kang Jun-pyo also shouted, as if he had lost his temper for a moment.
“Nonsense! For me to steal my ring from that guy! can’t be! There must be something to hide.”
When Kang Jun-pyo strongly denied it, Cha Min-jun approached him.
“Hey there. Are you still talking right?”
“What? What do you think you know?”
“What do you know? really tell me why did you lose me Listen carefully. It’s not like they’re telling you this even if you get paid.”
“You-Sae said he got a few shots at the foal.”
Min-jun suppressed his feelings of injustice and explained Kang Jun-pyo’s shortcomings one by one.
“Listen. The two shots you missed earlier are the tilt of the bow and the zero point! it was all messed up Moreover, even the stance was irregular. Apparently, you seem to be using an open stance, but your feet are a bit narrow for that. You yourself should know better.”
“… … .”
“no?”
Kang Jun-pyo was speechless.
I didn’t know what to do in a situation where I saw through my shortcomings.
Still, I couldn’t stay silent, so I started making excuses.
“What are you… are you trying to teach me what you know? Do you want to make a splash just because you hit a few shots? And I’m just not feeling well yet!”
“campaign speech? Didn’t you feel anything when you saw the arrow I shot? You must have felt something?”
“… … .”
“And less relaxed? He warmed up all the time in a corner. what is that?”
“Keugh!”
It was Kang Jun-pyo who was suppressed by the momentum of Cha Min-jun, who always spat out the right words.
‘what? Has this kid really ever handled a bow before? Why haven’t you noticed anything in the meantime? It’s not easy to notice at once that my open stance is narrow.’
Kang Jun-pyo is in a tense situation or when his concentration is weakening.
There is a tendency for the distance between the feet to narrow rapidly without realizing it.
When this happens, an unstable posture is created during the drawing process, and a sense of stability is reduced.
Of course, this part is so minute that it is impossible to notice it at once from a third person’s perspective.
However, only Cha Min-joon was different.
He knew his flaws better than anyone else.
Kang Joon-pyo had no choice but to win the award for Cha Min-joon.
Meanwhile, Professor Park, who was watching the two’s strange battle of nerves, intervened in the gap.
“Come on, both students, calm down. Is there anything to raise your voice in the sacred training ground? As I said before, Cha Min-joon’s skills are at a level that deserves recognition. It is certain that student Junpyo is on the same level as him. So, to the two students… … .”
Professor Park looked at Cha Min-jun and Kang Jun-pyo once and decided to make a suggestion.
Somehow the professor forced to accept that he didn’t cheat
