Conquering The Novel

After her beautiful display of Archery, she turned toward me and spoke,

"If you can hit half of the targets that I just did, I will welcome you to the Archery course"

The two bodyguards were surprised to hear her words, after which both of them gave me a pitiful look towards me,

Both of them even started to look at me vigilantly expecting me to get infuriated but unfortunate for them that wasn't going to happen, A confident smile lit up my face as I spoke,

"Sure"

Hearing my answer their looks had turned to disdain and disbelief,

Ignoring them I moved towards the edge of the cliff standing there as the wind hit my face and my hair fluttered, then I borrowed the Bow from Diana that she was using.

"huff"

I exhaled as I relaxed my mind, taking up an arrow I placed it on the bow and I tightened it back with my strength, my posture and movement were impeccable, with not a hint of struggle or loss,  and both the bodyguards fluttered but Diana stayed calm but her eyes were glittering as she glanced at my form,

"Yeah, this is bringing back some tough memories," I thought to myself.

My eyes became sharp as I gazed at my target, the mana in my body subtly flew into the bow, and the wind on the cliff picked up speed as it kept disrupting the atmosphere even my hair was flowing with the wind, I stayed there holding the bow as I started using my skill Hawks eye,

As soon as I used my skill, a golden hue could be seen in my eyes, and the targets that appeared to be far away were now could be seen just in front of my vision as if I was using some type of zooming Telescopic sight.

The speed of the wind, the amount of mana fluctuating, the different concerns that might come to be, every scenario was being run in my mind.

Finally, after a minute of silence, my hand holding the string let go, everything seems in slow motion as the arrow left my bow traveling towards the target that was kept on the other side, Diana and her both bodyguards gazed at the arrow that was moving towards its target.

Just like Diana's arrow mine was fast as it covered the massive distance but just as half the journey was over the wind blew from the bottom, seemingly trying to destroy the arrow but then the arrow started to move with the wind, a sense of brilliance filled the arrow as it used the wind to blast forward!.

THUD!

Before they could even blink an eye the arrow had struck the center of the target breaking down Diana's arrow and taking its place.

Only silence filled the surroundings as they stared at the arrow stuck on the other side.

Both bodyguards have shock and disbelief expressions on their faces, while Diana kept her face emotionless.

The shot was precise, powerful, and most importantly more stunning, this proved that my talent in Archery was no less than any other!

This was a huge breakdown for them, If it's known that my talent in Archery resembled Diana's then the whole academy will be in turmoil...

Not too long ago, I seized the title of Youngest 'Swordmaster' of the generation, and now I was Gearing toward Archery. My talents just kept frightening them,

I didn't stop at that and imitated Diana, with one swift motion, I began again and kept firing arrows after arrows with different angles and approaches, each one hitting with pinpoint accuracy by destroying the arrows that Diana shot previously and taking its place in the middle, and after my 10th shot, I finally stopped.

They were all just watching in a daze, by the 5th shot I had already gained Diana's recognition but I completed my 10 shots, Leaving them an indication that my talent in Archery is not inferior to Diana.

The two bodyguards' faces turned awry as they never expected me to pass Diana's test and were waiting for me to get offended as they deemed that I can't use a bow.

Seeing their faces I just smirked at them.

Clap...Clap...Clap~

The clapping sound made me come out of my thoughts, and I turned my head toward the sound. It was Diana, who was silent throughout the time I was taking her test and was now clapping her hands with a beautiful smile on her gorgeous face that she kept cold-blooded until now.

"Good shot" She spoke.

I was taken aback by the sudden change in her behavior and more importantly seeing her smile, I was expecting her expression to be more like her bodyguards.

While I was in a daze by her beautiful smile Diana spoke,

"Why don't you finish your Archery course signup form while having tea with me"

To her suggestion, I just nodded my head in confirmation. And soon we left the training arena and arrived at the president's office...

***

"I never thought you even had a talent in Archery, and I apologize for my rude behavior earlier, I thought you were disrespecting the Archery by just trying to pass your time here"

"And please understand because I never thought...no, no one would have thought that the youngest swordmaster can be this good at using bow"

Seeing her apologize again and again I decided to accept her apology,

"It's alright," I said with a bright smile on my face,

She returned my smile with her own and asked me as she took a sip of her tea,

"How are you so good at using a Bow Ares?

"I had great teachers" I replied honestly as the one who taught me how to use a Bow was an excellent teacher in my previous world and she was also an S-Rank hunter that uses a bow, furthermore she was likewise the one that made me choose Bow as my secondary weapon while I wanted to use daggers same as Helena.

"If I am not rude may I ask you who might that teacher of yours be? maybe I know them too"

I shook my head at her question and spoke,

"No, that's not possible because the one who thought me Archery isn't in this world"

Hearing my words she was shocked and spoke while making an apologetic face,

"I am sorry for that I shouldn't have asked"

I thought she might be misinterpreting something but I decided not to correct her as I don't know how to explain this and just made a wry smile.

Seeing the change in atmosphere Diana spoke again,

"After getting a title for your Swordsmanship are you trying to get a title for Archery as well? With the level of Archery you showed me I think you can already get the title of "Prince of Bow"

I made an awkward face after hearing that cringe title name,

"...."

"Isn't it cool? And you will become my rival as well you may even get the title of youngest Bowmaster..."

"No, that isn't possible as I have so much more to learn about Archery and I think you are much more skilled than me in archery"

Hearing me praise her she gave me a bright smile and spoke,

"You think so too?"

"...."

I knew she was a Narcissist...
