The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 130 - Unified Martial Arts Congress, Bow Division ③ -
The assignments were to be carried out by all, one by one, in the order in which the proposals were made. The first to do it was most unfavourable, but Bardre denied it.
"With so much skill, each one of us knows how to shoot himself. No need to take that into account."
Baldre had long blonde hair and a graceful look, but the figure under her clothes was quite strenuous. aristocracy, but its nature is infinitely close to that of a warrior. Aerial was impressed with Bardre for not winning the bow division over Dade many times.
The first challenge, targeted five simultaneous shootings. I don't know how much Baldre has done summary hitting, but even the Seekers usually only hit up to about three. Five arrows on the bow at the same time, Bardre releases the arrow when she squeezes the bow enough. When all the arrows hit, the audience applauded.
"Whoa!"
"You hit it all!?
"Dear Bardre, lovely!
The audience cheered for everything that hit them, but Bardre was dissatisfied at the time.
"Hmm... couldn't the center do it all? When it comes to all five bottles, a little brace takes your life. It's harder to fix than I thought."
"No, no, it's a big deal. Even the Seekers won't be able to beat all of them. Even with more skill than the Seekers who learn bows and arrows to breathe, we are not human enough."
"I know you're complimenting me, but as far as I was concerned I was proud to have the best bow moves on the continent, you're slightly dissatisfied"
"Lord Bardre, 72 points in total!
The audience couldn't even understand if that point was high or low, but at the next stage Fenna shot an arrow, she began to realize that this face was not an ordinary one. Fenna released the arrow lighter in a smaller motion than earlier Bardre, but the arrow was also firing all targets again. The audience turned again, and Fenna looked as sorry as Bardre again.
"Again, when it comes to all five, the accuracy is not increased without arm strength. Too bad."
"Lord Fenna, 82 points!
"Whoa!
The audience's voice also rose to an even higher score than Baldre's. But from here, Shargin scored 93, Olli 88, and Aerial 86, and the audience was even more excited by the very advanced battle.
And the last touta. audiences waiting in anticipation of him releasing an arrow. The sixth man in this wonderful battle is the owner of any skill - but two of Touta's arrows were flying in the wrong direction, and only three were targeted.
Unexpectedly leaking audience sigh. Touta at the time was shy of her head.
"I knew I couldn't have five. I've never done it before."
"Well, that would happen. You don't have to shoot five arrows."
Shargin was encouraging Touta as she nodded. Fenna felt his growth in Shargin's attitude comforting Touta, not sarcasm or anything, but Aerial looked more at Touta's hit target than that.
"Lord Touta, 60 points!
A few applause just happened from the audience, but each of the contestants quietly saw Touta's expression on that score. Only one of the arrows released by everyone so far, in the middle of nowhere. Touta removed the two, but the three that had been released were almost shot through the middle.
Talk as Shargin stares at Touta again.
"I can't have five - then how many have I done?
"Hmm? Up to three. What's wrong with that?
"So if it's up to three, what the hell is the chance of hitting that target?
"This distance won't take you off the middle until a hundred times. Ora is a hunter. Taking it off means losing your life as it is. If I missed the target, I'd be ready to die and let go of the arrow.
Most of all, Ora doesn't have much concentration, so if you do it for too long, you'll lose accuracy!
Touta said shyly, but Shargin felt like she had been put ice in her back. Even Sharguin loses accuracy after three hits. I'm not so sure when they tell me to shoot it all in the middle a hundred times. And that was the same for everyone. Apparently, Touta had a different mindset when setting up bows and arrows - that's how everyone who stood in the same finals understood it.
Second assignment. It shoots beyond the performance limit of the bow, but the distance of flight in the performance limit is indicated by the distance it flies in a straight line, so if you shoot slightly upwards, the distance increases. But today it was a strong wind, and if the target is also a small fruit, it was a challenge that required considerable concentration, but this all dropped the target in one blow, gaining a hundred points.
It's just that Aerial, Auri and Touta almost shot through the middle, while the other three were off the middle, and Aerial was the quickest time to set up and shoot.
And the third challenge. The challenge of checking the targeted position and shooting from an invisible location. The orbit also became a mountain, in which each struggled considerably. Baldre took off one shot, 57 points. Was Fenna confident that she suggested herself or scored 83 points on all hits? Shargin makes it all hit, but the dots don't grow by 68 points. Auri had 76 points on all hits, Aerial had 62 points off one shot and Touta had 46 points off two shots.
And the fourth challenge. This became an unexpected difficulty.
