The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 45: Departure (2)

Two days later…

The ship from the Wizard’s organization was still on the way, more than five days away from here. Angele returned to his family’s manor once, planning on talking to his father. However, the baron was already out on the mission on the Anser Plain, so he instead had some fun time with Maggie and Celia. He also left a letter addressed to his father. He decided to stay in the school awaiting the ship while continuing to train his sword and archery skills. As he also meditated every day, he felt as though he was living a quality life.

After lunch, Angele went to the archery skill training ground. The training platform was grassy and many targets were built under a large tent. Each person had an individual line in front with the bows hanging at the side. The grass shone as it reflected the light under the sun. A breeze blew over Angele, but the only thing he could feel was the heat from the sun.

There were already some people practicing in the archery training ground when Angele entered. He selected the line by the right far end like he used to. He took the brown wooden bow on the side and pulled the bowstring several times.

“Nice, someone is taking good care of these bows,” Angele said and nodded. Several girls walked into the training ground, but they stayed at the lines at the left side. Angle could still hear their conversation.

“Mary, would you like to try it?” one of the girls asked.

“Sure,” the girl name Mary answered. Angele heard the sound a bowstring would make when it was fully drawn. Angele felt slightly curious and looked over to their line. He saw a wooden arrow flying across the line, but it didn’t even pass the 20-meter mark before dropping down to the ground.

“Nice shot!”

“Such skills!”

“Mary, you’re so good!”

The girls around Mary looked surprised, an expression unable to be faked. They clearly thought the result was great.

“20 meters is most likely the best result I can get, yet Mary made it look so easy!”

“Me too!”

“Mary Sauron, you are such an archer!” The girls kept praising Mary.

“You guys are making fun of me, right?” Mary asked jokingly.

“We’re not. Haha.” The girls started laughing.

“If my brother was here, he would at least hit the target. 100 meters is nothing to him,” Mary said.

“Yea? My sister can do it too. She can easily hit the 5th ring.” The targets they used in school were the standard 9-ring ones with the bullseye located right in the middle. An average student could barely hit the target. If one were to hit the 5th ring, however, he would get a high mark in the archery course.

“Talking about archery skills, I hear Angele’s impressive at it. He could hit the 9th ring 9 out of 10 times. Some even said he was one of the best in the school. Is that true, Caitlyn?” one of the girls asked.

“Angele could easily do that. He brought me to the shooting range several times when we were dating. Hitting the 9th ring at a 100-meter distance didn’t pose any problem to him,” a girl said with a calm voice, but she sounded prideful.

Angele felt a bit awkward after having recognized the voice right away. That was the girl whom the original Angele fell in love with, thus he decided not to listen to her nonsense. He grabbed an arrow from his quiver and nocked it onto his bow. Angele didn’t ask the chip to assist in aiming; only shooting the arrow by relying on his intuition and muscle memory. Before, he could only shoot countless arrows accurately and precisely by relying on the chip. But now, he could aim targets precisely without requiring its assistance any longer. The wooden arrow he shot struck the bullseye from 100 meters away, an outstanding feat compared to other students’. Some of them began cheering as they barely had any chance to see someone with such accuracy and precision.
