205 – Joint Evaluation (9)⚝
I answered confidently that I would. Archery was a means of survival for me. Ever since Ivor gave me a bow when I was seven years old, I had to prove that I was Sir Ruben’s son. Every time I heard all sorts of things about Yoena, there were protests.
“That guy looks nothing like Ruben, does he?”
When my peers played with toys, I always held a bow and stood in front of the target whenever I had the chance.
“Looking at his martial arts skills, doesn’t it seem like he’s your son?”
In other cases, I might have put my anger or loneliness into the protest.
“Baby, why are your eyes moist?”
When I thought about it, he sarcastically asked if I was confident, so I definitely denied it.
“You can’t beat me with a bow.”
“Okay, I’m going to go up there and make some noise, so you can take care of it?”
“Hey, you’re the next kite!”
“f*ck, I’m not even looking forward to pig’s feet. What kind of article is this? Have you ever tried it?”
“No…… Brother. I have ridden many wooden horses…… “I think I can hit one or two shots.”
“Hey, but why did you ride the wooden horse?”
“I don’t know.”
“This b*tch is rebelling again?”
Ain placed a chestnut on Kite’s forehead, so he just left it alone. Much to her chagrin, he hid her whining behind her back and told her not to worry because he would prove his skills to her. Chan seemed to be embarrassed by us, so he slightly distanced himself from us and said.
“It’s Colonia’s turn.”
The five of us went up to the firing squad.
“Is that all?”
“Less than Heoden.”
“They say they even give extra points, but why aren’t there any applicants?”
“It’s obvious, because if your skills are revealed, you will be laughed at by your classmates.”
Kite intervened in the conversation between me and Ain.
“Your Majesty…… If there were only women, it would be a struggle…… “There’s so much talk going around that it’s hard.”
Kite has experienced gossiping behind his back in Nutzhaven, so he knows very well how scary women’s tongues can be. Chan also silently agreed. Surely Colonia would be difficult? Even archery, where there is a small gap between men and women, will soon become an academy with only the glory of the past under Heoden and Baek Middle Ages.
“Those b*tches, they’re still arrogant because they’re in the capital.”
“But isn’t it better than Heoden?”
“No.”
Chan denied it.
“Oh…… It’s Chaney. “Do you like our academy better?”
She nods her head at Kite’s words.
“As of last year, we won everything except archery.”
“Did you see who asked?”
“I didn’t say this to listen to the princess.”
“Yangmul, bring the shovel!”
“I guess everyone is watching out for it. “That’s our competition now.”
“Oh my…… “Don’t fight anymore.”
Colonia climbed onto her horse in her skirt and began hitting the target with a howitzer. She steps on the stirrups, and perhaps because she is wearing shoes, her center of gravity is awkward. Her clothes themselves did not suit her style of shooting, but it was surprising that she insisted on wearing such a school uniform.
“It looks good.”
Ain laughed.
“Is the average score 56 points?”
“Now that we’ve moved on to the article, look at the score getting messed up.”

“It’s not that bad, right?”
“Shut up, maggots are coming out of your mouth.”
“The princess is pouring out lumps of poop?”
While the two were bickering, Heoden was finally called.
There were a total of eight of us. There were several people, including Born, who had competed with me before. Everyone looks nervous. It is said that only upper-grade students learn how to be a knight, so the guys who took this exam are confident in their own archery skills.
“Assholes.”
When we got right in front of Chan, this was Ain’s quick comment.
“Is it 50 points?”
“We can still turn things around.”
“Oppa…… “My heart is pounding so hard again.”
Kite opened her breasts as if asking her to touch them. She gave her a gentle nudge on the forehead and told her to keep doing what she was doing. Chan went up to the firing squad. She steps into the stirrups and greets the examiners politely. She fired two shots. She’s only gotten perfect scores so far, but when she goes to the application, she makes a mistake.
“86 Points is a good job for a corpse.”
“Ain, can you tell me what pudakgeori is?”
At that time, the name Perku Die Frau was called from the podium.
“Yangmul, the sh*t you’re doing from now on wasn’t done by me, but by Perku Dai Frau?”
─You’re screwed.
After Ain got on her horse, she immediately fired a shot. She was a quintet. Of course she thought she would hit the target, but she didn’t, so it was surprising. A quiet laugh erupted from the audience. A similar firing was heard next to me.
“Chan, are you funny?”
“I don’t think I can get over 86 points.”
“You don’t like Ain, right?”
“Well.”
Wheezing──Seeing the corners of his mouth rise, it seems like something has been building up. Ain took the bow again. However, she doesn’t shoot right away this time. She asked loudly, looking back at her test tube.
“Anyone who shoots a gun while on horseback is considered a knight——right?”
When she heard the yes, she kicked off her stirrups and stood with both feet on her horse’s saddle.
Everyone was wondering what they were doing. This time, words erupted from Heoden’s audience as well. Seeing that even they, who had previously been weighed down by the name of a prestigious academy, were making a fuss, I guess this was more than a stroke of luck.
“Is this also an article?”
Ain stood and fired her nine shots with a confident expression on her face. It would be difficult to keep her balance, but she calmly placed both feet on the saddle and adjusted them well. Her skills were admirable. She misses her center circle somewhat, but it’s all hits.
“Wow—93 points with that posture!”
An exclamation of admiration erupted from the audience. Tsk tsk ── Someone clicked her tongue, so she turned around and saw Chan tearing off her fingernail.
“You don’t like it?”
“Because there is no formula for that.”
─Chan, you and Ain can’t be rivals.
“Did you see it?”
As soon as Ain came down from her academy, she condescendingly said that this was her true article. Of course, the next one is Kite. He seemed to feel pressured by her heated mood, so he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pushed her into his position.
“Oppa…… Please support me.”
“You will do well.”
“Just a little…… “Can’t you do more?”
“Even if I ruin it, nothing will change.”
“Yes…… “I feel at ease.”
Kite ascended to her station. She groans from the moment she steps on the stirrup, as if she has never ridden such a large wooden horse before. When she got on the horse for the third time, the men were quiet but the women were noisy. It’s always like this. She has always suffered from the blind love of men who were strangers to her and the groundless criticism of women who were strangers to her.
“What is he doing?”
These words came from Heoden’s audience just now.
“Jok’s feet, why are they like that?”
Ain also asked me a question. Unlike others, Kite clamped her thighs into her horse’s saddle instead of putting her feet in the stirrups. She then leaned her upper body against her horse’s neck, pressing her plump breasts against his neck.
─Madame Pepe, is it you again?
It was a posture that left anyone looking at it with a strange imagination. I felt like all the men were paying attention. Even though her butt was big, it was really spectacular to see from behind. The tight buttocks created an even more erotic silhouette, to the point that even the viewer felt embarrassed.
“Hey, isn’t your b*tch crazy?”
“Kite might have thoughts too.”
“Do you think that might make some sense?”
Even Chan, the only sane person, expressed concern. Kite took out her arrow with one hand and put it on her bowstring. Her feet are outside the stirrups, messing with her center of gravity. Is she going to shoot like that? When her child tried to stop her by shouting, she covered her mouth with her hand.
“Please, trust me and leave it to me.”
“Hey, is there any way to hit a target using something like that?”
This time, Chan also took my side, telling me to keep an eye on him. Kite trembled her arms and took aim at the target. Piing—her voice burst out at the same time as a suspicious sound.
“Ah…… !”
─I’m going crazy.
Kite’s upper body was thrown behind her by the recoil of her arrow and then returned. The arrow that left the field drew a strange arc and approached the center circle of the target. While everyone was saying uh uh ── she hit the mark and got 10 points.
“What the f*ck?”
“Is this a new formula?”
When Ain and Chan looked at her, they stroked her chin and bragged as if they knew everything.
“The special training paid off.”
From then on, Kite continued to use the same method, shooting arrows with her arrows. However, the recoil that occurred every time she fired caused her body to bounce, and the sound of “Ahhhhh” Became louder, and the atmosphere in the room became strange.
“Damn it, I might as well just lose!”
“Hey, it’s already 50 points though.”
“I don’t think I can deliver because I’m embarrassed?”
Our team’s morale is at an all-time low, but the score is going up smoothly anyway. Five out of seven shots are hits. At this point, I had to admit it. Kite’s strong lower body was not made up of only fat.
─ I didn’t know that she could hold her center of gravity only with her thighs.
Naturally, a dirty fantasy came to mind, but I stopped it right away. When Kite fired an arrow again, someone shouted.
“I’m embarrassed!”
“Don’t make strange noises and come down!!”
I thought the shout just now came from Colonia. However, that was something that came out of Heoden’s audience. It was absurd. How could you say something like that to a fellow student who is struggling despite his shame? The heat was boiling inside me and I was about to confront him, but Ain, who had a worse temper than me, spat out a lion’s hooves.
“Hey, you bastards———!!!”
This was the most serious swear word I have ever heard.
“You bastards, I’m doing this because of you guys. What are you doing now?”
He pricks the thrush with an arrowhead and grinds his teeth, saying he will throw it away. Examiners cautioned against strong profanity. Then, Ain showed his anger towards them and immediately began to criticize them.
“You didn’t even say anything to Mentator and Colonia?”
When Heoden got angry and asked why he couldn’t speak, the three examiners gathered and had a meeting among themselves.
“I accept the objection.”
When I told him not to shout anymore with his current remarks, Ain let out a roar towards Heoden’s audience.
“You bastards, aren’t you tired of mocking those who are weaker than you and submitting to those who are stronger than you?”
Even the support cadets attempted to become a knight, and the rest of the audience was buzzing, wondering what kind of treatment this was. This time it was Mentator and Colonia.
“Support exceeds 50 points?”
“Of course I thought it was a battle!”
It was Born, not the test tube, that calmed their confusion.
“I’m more embarrassed by you guys.”
Among the combat groups, a person with some reputation openly sided with us.
“It’s true that they come all the way to Velaste and fight as a group, and they can’t even say a word to Mentator and Colonia.”
Born stood next to us. Before I knew it, the seven Heoden cadets below the four ranks were inspecting the situation and turning their backs on the audience. We collectively shouted at the country girl struggling on her wooden horse.
“Unpeishi Kite!”
“Flatten Colonia’s nose!!”
It was only when I came here to Velaste that I finally felt like Heoden was like our academy. Kite let her tears fall and traced her words with her hand to straighten her posture. Of the remaining three shots, one was a hit and one was a miss.
“63 Points!”
It was a reversal brought about by a country girl who was ignored by everyone.
