Episode 4
Professor Park snapped his fingers.
widely-!
at the same time.
A strong rain and wind began to blow in the training ground.
wheeeiik-
Because the wind was blowing so strong.
It was to the point where I couldn’t hear Professor Park’s words clearly.
Looking at the scene that changed in an instant, Min-jun recalled old memories.
‘It was also a boring training method in my professional days. Anyway, it’s really amazing. The weather can change with the snap of a finger!’
Compared to other outdoor training grounds, this is an archery training ground.
Still, it could be said that the system was equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.
The environment changed 180 degrees with one snap of Professor Park’s finger.
Since the bow is greatly affected by the wind, I could understand Professor Park’s intention.
So, Minjun was not taken aback.
As I said before.
When I was a pro, let alone rain and wind.
Even when the blizzard hit, he was the one holding the bow.
Those days when I did not hesitate to train every day with the dream of being selected as a national team member.
Minjun felt as if he had returned to that time.
‘It’s a game worth trying if you’re good at finding persimmons!’
Min-joon couldn’t hear Professor Park’s words clearly because of the strong wind and rain.
Even so, it was clear what he wanted to say.
“I admit that Cha Min-joon scored the highest. But it’s not easy to get a Jennix ring just by hitting nine arrows.”
It was not wrong.
There are about 2,000 Hunters enrolled at Xenix Academy.
Among them, only 3% of students were given a zenix ring.
Most of the students in class B or higher had a zenix ring, and their skills were also brilliant.
On the other hand, Cha Min-joon, who is only in class D.
Giving him the Xenix ring was a difficult task for Professor Park.
It was true that a more definite justification and impact was needed.
In addition.
In the first place, the fact that I put out the Jennix ring as a prize was simply a trick to raise class D’s concentration.
In fact, I never thought that Minjun Cha would have this level of skill with a bow.
‘I didn’t know there was an unexpected person in Class D. I never thought I would take a turn against these guys. However, this would be unreasonable. Aiming, strength, direction… On the day I miscalculate anything, it will be difficult to reach even near the target board, let alone the target!’
On the other hand, Minjun, who showed the best skills in class D, was a bit disappointed.
‘I wouldn’t have thought of giving it to you in the first place! It’s just wrong to put up a Jennix ring in a test of this level!’
That doesn’t mean that Professor Park’s remarks did not make sense.
Although Zenix Academy hadn’t produced archer hunters for a long time, it was clear that the first test wasn’t a difficult test at all.
It’s just a test made by Professor Park considering the level of class D.
If students from Class B or higher had taken this test, the rarity of the Jennix ring would have been greatly reduced.
Meanwhile, Min-joon wanted to break Professor Park’s idea that he had no intention of giving the Jenix ring.
There is still strong rain and wind blowing.
Minjun listened as much as possible and tried to listen carefully to what Professor Park said behind him.
“Thankfully, the two students showed more than expected. After this test, I won’t talk about it anymore. What if you could break through strong rain and wind within five shots and hit the center of the target with even one shot?”
gulp!
Minjun and Kang Junpyo paid attention to the shape of Professor Park’s mouth.
“I will give you this Xenix ring without hesitation! If you are not confident, give up now.”
Even though there was a strong rainstorm, there was no reason to refuse this test.
Kang Jun-pyo also seemed to be determined.
“It would be more laughable to step away from here. I will go first!”
“Look forward to it! Junpyo.”
He first stood proudly in front of Professor Park and expressed his aspirations.
Professor Park then handed five arrows to Kang Jun-pyo.
He had no hesitation.
‘I can never lose to a bridesmaid like that!’

Junpyo Kang gripped the bowstring tightly.
“Crash Shot!”
From the first shot, he used the magic power distributed throughout his body to shoot an arrow.
It was because it was judged that it was impossible to pierce the strong wind and rain simply by shooting arrows.
Wheein-!
But only the will was ahead.
I tried to aim at the center of the target board, gathering even the lack of magic power, but it was not easy.
Rather, it was to the point where I was fortunate enough to have barely hit the top of the target board.
“Sheesh, what are you trying to do with such an entry-level bow?!”
Kang Jun-pyo blamed the useless equipment.
That would be too.
For some reason, he left the ‘crush bow’ he had always been carrying in his room today.
If he had been tested with his favorite crush bow, he would have easily ignored this level of wind.
It was he who judged that he would have been able to hit the center of the target.
Of course this.
Not a single arrow was just an excuse for not hitting the center of the target.
Furthermore, Kang Joon-pyo was not blaming the equipment, so he gave arrogant advice to Cha Min-jun.
“Don’t be conceited when you see me! Do you think you are different? you’re welcome.”
“What did you say. It’s a little disappointing anyway.”
“What? I thought you were different. Heh, don’t get me wrong. After all, you won’t even come close to the target.”
Kang Jun-pyo assumed that Cha Min-jun would be no different.
That said, neither Cha Min-jun nor Cha Min-jun would be greatly shaken by Kang Jun-pyo’s words.
He never lost his pace even on an international stage like the Olympics.
Moreover, Cha Min-joon became the national archery representative after breaking through the competition of 10,000 to 1.
Rather, Kang Jun-pyo’s provocation felt cute.
‘Let’s ignore it lightly.’
Min-Jun didn’t care and grabbed the bow stick.
I decided to focus only on the current situation.
‘It won’t be easier than before.’
It was a situation where not a single wind had blown a while ago, and nine arrows were able to hit.
It was difficult for Min-juno to give a definite answer at the point where the difficulty level had risen sharply.
However, he definitely had the confidence to do better than Kang Jun-pyo.
‘Relax, relax. Phew.’
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Minjun checked the direction as well as the strength of the wind.
‘The wind strength is quite strong. The wind is also blowing against the wind.’
First of all, the first impression is important.
I fired the first shot without hesitation, thinking of throwing one shot away.
Wow-!
As expected.
The first shot flew to a place that had nothing to do with the target, unable to win against the strong rain and wind.
“Also.”
In the poor first step, Kang Jun-pyo put in a choo im-sae.
“Huh, then it is. What kind of bow are you holding? Just face that this is your limit.”
A mouthful to distract Minjun somehow.
Minjun couldn’t have known.
He was only focused on the target.
Also, Min-joon’s aiming method was different from the first.
In a way, it was a short-range target, but Minjun approached it in a different way.
Like a long-range wet shooter, he set his stance with his bow positioned backwards.
This was to ensure that the arrow flew in a direction that was less affected by the wind.
After holding my breath for two seconds, I let go of the bowstring when I felt like I was at this point.
Boo-
“… … !!”
It wasn’t until the center of the target board, but the location where Min-jun hit the target board was close to a hit.
‘I’ll just have to feel this much!’
Based on the sense he immediately gained, Minjun shot the remaining arrows in succession.
puck-!
puck-!
The arrow that hit the target board got closer and closer to the center.
Professor Park’s pupils widened at Min-jun’s skill with the bow.
The strength and direction of the wind, which changes every situation, and the target board that seems to be invisible through the leaves scattered in between.
Even in such adverse conditions, Minjun’s sense of stability was truly amazing.
‘Nonsense. I can’t believe there was an archer with such a high understanding of the bow in our Jenix!’
This is an impossible situation unless you are an archer hunter with all your natural talents.
However, as if Minjun showed off, he got closer to shooting near the center of the target board.
The D class students were also surprised by this.
“I… Is that really Cha Min-joon?”
“Have you already surpassed Junpyo?”
“The Cha Min-joon I used to know isn’t like that!”
“At this rate, isn’t that guy actually getting the Jenix ring?”
The owner of the Jennix ring was already decided.
Even so.
Minjun, who was usually close to perfectionism, was not satisfied.
‘Right now, it’s absolutely impossible to aim straight.’
A situation where four arrows were shot.
It was Min-jun who wanted to aim for the center somehow with one remaining foot.
However, there was a limit because the wind became stronger with the headwind now.
Minjun looked back at the actions of the main character in the original work.
‘Usually, you use your skills at times like this. Looking at it earlier, it seems that I also had two skills.’
I don’t know if I can use it right now, but Minjun wanted to try it.
‘situation… window?!’
In the original work, the main character shouted ‘status window’ whenever he had a chance.
Min-jun also shouted ‘status window’ inwardly, just in case.
Before long, a hologram window that brought the system of the original work was visible.
▶Status Window◀
Name ▶ Cha Min-joon
Age ▶ 20 years old
Affiliation ▶ Genix Academy 1st year
Class ▶ Class D in Combat Department.
Talent ▶ Stamina [D+] Attack [D] Dexterity [D+] Vision [D+] Accuracy [D+] Strength [E] Magical Power [E+]
Skill ▶ Concentrated Shot [Lv 1] Hail Shot [Lv 1]

‘It was real!’
joy for a while.
Minjun started comparing the skills he had acquired earlier.
＜Concentrated Fire [Lv 1]＞
▶Fire at the designated target.
▶Accuracy increased by 5%. Increases additional damage by 1%.
＜Hale Shot [Lv 1]＞
▶Shoot a whirlwind arrow toward the target location.
▶Ignores weather effects, increases additional damage by 3%.
After carefully reading the two skills, Min-joon became obsessed with one.
‘Ignoring climate impact?’
Why didn’t I read the skill description carefully earlier? At the same time as blaming myself, I wondered what the effect would be on ‘Hale Shot’.
‘Hale shot.’
Minjun tried to copy the actions the main character did when he wanted to use a skill in the original work.
[Activates the ‘Hale Shot’ skill.]
‘!!’
just as expected.
It felt like if I just pulled the bowstring like this, the skill would be activated immediately.
Minjun took the same release posture as if he had shot four arrows.
When he reached the zero point he thought, he did not hesitate to release the demonstration.
Whoops-!
The turning power of the last arrow was amazing.
It is not easy to distinguish this rotational force with the naked eye, but it was unusual to see it fly straight toward the target board while lightly ignoring wind resistance.
There was absolutely nothing to say about the exclamation, and the parabola of the arrow flying more than ever was flawless.
Taang-!
Min-joon hit the spot in the center of the target board, which seemed to be about 5 cm in diameter.
‘done!’
It felt like I had achieved a feat comparable to when I had the best results in the national team selection matches in my current life.
