Book 3: Chapter 6-2: For the Sake of Survival
All at once they activated Body Enhancement and pulled back their bowstrings. If they used their legs to push the crossbow into the ground to reload they wouldnt be able to fire enough arrows.
Next they needed to set their bolts, they removed Body Enhancement, and activated Perception Expansion and Windbreak.
For Elves other than myself it was impossible to activate these three spells all at once no matter how much they lightened their usage of Perception Expansion.
Two of them at once became the practical limit. For that reason once they only needed to aim and fire they could remove Body Enhancement. With normal bows they would still need to utilize strength to hold back the bowstring and changing spells would be impossible. This was one of the advantages of the crossbow.
Maybe it was the results of daily training, but almost every one finished preparing and fired at the same time. All twenty arrows flew straight towards the targets 200 meters ahead.
Because of Windbreak the arrows didnt get affected by air resistance and flew straight ahead without losing power.
The hit rate of the arrows were around 80%, it looks like the time limit and pressure was doing its job.
As expected the first set where they were not used to the blindfolds, the pressure, and the time limit caused only Lucy and Roleau to succeed in hitting 8 out of 12 arrows.
However, as the exercise went on their accuracy increased. By the fifth set the majority were passing the accuracy mark.
Then, by the end of the tenth set there were only five who had not passed the required mark and the remaining fifteen could now rapid fire while maintaining at least 70% accuracy. For the first day this was great progress.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com
Good job everyone. Those who failed today should try hard next time.
Cyril will those who failed really only get that cookie for dinner? Its too cruel
That was the arrangement.
I couldnt be weak on them at this juncture. If I did then they would lose their tension and the group would lose its driving force.
Also, as the instructor I could not be seen as a liar.
Todays training ends here. From now till the sun sets it will be free practice. For a while we will do this daily. If you dont want to feel this kind of frustration again then do your best to improve. Well then, Ill be off. All of you return when its time for dinner.
I left those words behind as I walked away.
I glanced back to see that the group, including the five who failed, were advising each other on improving.
It was a good outcome. The fact that they would naturally come together to aid each other naturally was big. Because they worked together through good times and hard times, they were able to form bonds.
It will facilitate communication and improve cooperation.
It looks like Nettle should end up doing well
The first one to spot me was the yellow fox Kemin and the black fox Kurone who greeted me with smiles.
They were my adorable little sisters but I felt like something was missing.
Thats right, the silver fox Yukino who was always with them was missing. It was almost natural for the three of them to always be together.
Good day. Is Yukino not with you two?
Yukino and Kuu-anesama are off doing special training.
Theyve been doing it almost every morning once they finish work. Yukino-chan will be doing dangerous things so Kuu-anesama said to train for dangerous things so they wont be dangerous anymore.
Well thats great.
It looked like Kuu was seriously training Yukino.
Kurowanted to train with Yukino and Kuu-anesama too, but they said that Kuro has her own work to do so no. So Kuro is doing her best to do that.
Me too! I didnt want to leave Yukino alone to do painful and hard things, but at least if we do our best to do Yukinos work too she can train without worrying.
They said seeming frustrated.
Im sure the three of them wanted to be together. However, they thought properly about what would be best for their friend and the rest of the Fire Foxes. They continued to do their best to do what they could.
You two have done well. Ill brush you later.
Yay~ Kuro loves Cyril-niisamas brushing.butKemin-chan
mmm.Kurone
Kurone and Kemin both looked at each other before Kemin spoke up.
Cyril-niisama, the one working hardest right now is Yukino soplease brush her instead.
She said with a serious look on her face.
I couldnt help but laugh unintentionally.
Yukino had worked hard and asked to share the cream stew with the other two. Now these two offered to give up their favorite brushing so that Yukino could get a turn.
Really, what good friends.
