Bai E began his archery training with the newly acquired bow.
The gap between the Compound Bow and the Eaglehorn Bow was significant, and he needed some time to acclimate. Tonight was his debut in front of the players, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.
"Squeak~" the bowstring hummed lightly.
It was uncertain if it was because the Compound Bow was more flexible, but Bai E always felt that drawing the bow was much easier compared to when he used the Eaglehorn Bow that day.
In order to test his limits, Bai E drew the bowstring as taut as possible until the muscles in his upper arm squeaked under the strain and his arm trembled slightly before he finally loosened the bowstring a bit and then suddenly released his fingers.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow, like lightning, zipped through the air and hit the bullseye with precision.
[Successful hit at the target center, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +1.]
[Current Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience 449/500, at 500 points you can master "Level 3 Ranged Weapon Specialization".]
The arrow pierced through the target, the force breaking through the wooden board.
"Not bad..."
Bai E murmured softly, drawing another arrow from the quiver strapped to his leg.
He nocked the arrow and drew the bow.
Fire!
[Trigger Arc Shot! Successful in hitting a target behind an obstacle, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +2.]
"Hmm... Good."
Even after switching bows, his skill had not diminished.
Once more...
With no one around, the small target field that usually provided entertainment was quiet while the other warriors were training.
Bai E glanced around and swiftly drew three arrows from the quiver and set them against the bowstring.
Fire!
They scattered...
Fire again!
Scattered again...
Damn it! Wasn't there supposed to be a 5% success rate?
I'm going to fire again!
A shower of arrows...
Nope, nope! I wanted to look cool, but with this level I'm sure to embarrass myself. I'd better master the Double Shot first.
Two arrows, fire!
[Trigger Scatter Shot (Double Shot)! Successful in simultaneously hitting two targets, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +4.]
The Double Shot is more reliable...
A cloaked figure, unnoticeable in the shadows and motionless, shook his head in resignation and pursed his lips slightly under his hood.
"Clumsy, clumsy..."
But diligent enough... Perhaps this is one of the few pleasures he could find while spending this time in the human military camp.
...
"The training is about to begin..." Chavez looked at the nearly assembled warriors in front of him, his gaze sweeping over them with some concern.
Where's 95B27?
Didn't he train too hard to the point of passing out?
I should have advised him to train a bit less... Three... two... Maybe skip one time too, right?
The old soldiers can only train twice in two hours, but he starts off training four times as if he's racing against time. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
It's hard to tell if it's good or bad training.
To say it's good... it's somewhat beyond my understanding.
To say it's bad, his occasional exceptional progress is starting to catch up with the old soldiers.
I don't get it...
But don't leave.
Chavez's gaze passed over the warriors chatting before the assembly, and he sighed with regret. Without this hardworking and diligent kid, they don't seem to know what hard work is.
As time ticked by, just as Chavez was about to call everyone to assemble, a familiar figure came running towards him from a distance.
"I'm not late, am I..." Bai E murmured tentatively, sounding like a middle school student who had been late for school, as he saw that the team had basically assembled.
Initially, Bai E, who was absorbed in archery, had a sense of time, but as he practiced, he seemed to become completely engrossed in it. After intensely training to gain 27 points of shooting experience, he suddenly realized how time had flown and hurried back to the living area to put down his bow before rushing to the scene of the already assembled team.
Finally, with the arrival of the main character, Chavez's face turned as dark as charcoal. He simply lifted his chin toward the team, "Fall in!"
"Yes!"
"Assemble!"
Begin training!
[You are using combat experience to correct your training movements... (Consumption: 10 points of experience/min)]
[Current simulation completeness: 125.0%]
Bai E did not know how high the simulation completeness could go; it seemed like every time he felt an improvement in his self-simulated completeness, the next time he used experience to correct it, it would leap forward significantly, achieving the "Unapproachable Completeness" milestone...
Yet... it still didn't seem to be the limit.
Instinctively, Bai E leapt down from the stage.
The instructor had said that depending on personal feelings, the weight of the load could be changed at any time. The 30 kilograms he was carrying seemed no longer sufficient to meet his body's training needs.
He needed to move up to another weight class—
Wrist and ankle weights... 7 kilograms.
Vest... 15 kilograms.
A total of 43 kilograms of extra weight, almost like carrying another person distributed evenly over his body.
The heavier burden also made Bai E's physical energy consumption more efficient, and the completeness increased dramatically once again.
[Current simulation completeness: 131.7%]
"Huff~ huff~"
Bai E's breathing was heavy, each exhalation as if carrying a heat capable of scalding the skin.
Chavez, watching on the side, couldn't help but twitch at the sight.
Too strenuous... too strenuous...

Even for someone as demanding as he was, Bai E's performance was becoming excessively intense.
Worried that Bai E might genuinely overexert himself, Chavez, after a while, couldn't sit still any longer and stepped forward, "Actually, you don't have to push yourself so hard... Moreover, some of your postures are becoming more distorted, and continuing to train like this may not yield good results."
Improper training not only fails to yield results but can even backfire and harm one's body.
Bai E glanced at him without speaking, for under the state of extreme experience-correction training, he was like a tightly drawn bowstring, allowing no room for distraction, not even an untimely breath could disturb this rhythm.
Moreover... he was about to lose consciousness.
Before his eyes, darkness...
[You have surpassed your own limits in intense exercise, physical endurance +0.1, reflexes +0.1.]
"Hey, hey, hey!" Quick-eyed and deft-handed, Chavez caught Bai E as he fell.
Looking at the 95B27 who had already fallen into his arms and into a sleep like that of a baby, Chavez sighed deeply from up close.
This strange artificial human recruit had become a significant challenge to his teaching career.
But no matter what, the recruit's obstinacy had made all the soldiers present look at him with new respect.
Even though he fainted quickly during the training, like the clumsiest and most overconfident newcomer, the other soldiers could not dare to look down upon the unconscious body at the side of the field as their gazes occasionally swept over it.
"Huff~"
Bai E woke up once again.
[Current simulation completeness: 99.9%]
His self-driven completeness was getting closer to the instructor's, but Bai E knew that he was getting further away from the real pinnacle.
Looking at Bai E, who had switched back to a 30-kilogram load and assumed a standard posture, Chavez felt pleased deep down.
"That's how it should be."
"This way it's over!" The harsh female voice suddenly rang out.
Helen, who had approached at some point, looked at Chavez with somewhat angry eyes. Bai E's training results had been incredibly perfect, yet they had dropped significantly after this short-sighted instructor "advised" him with a few pointless remarks.
"Please, don't interfere with his training anymore. Your methods are outdated!"
"..."
After recognizing Helen's identity, Chavez blinked innocently, "But, those methods were improved by you..."
"...Mine are outdated too."
