Chapter 223-Archery Club

"It's nice"

My voice leaked out as I gazed at the huge statue in front of me, it was kept right at the entrance, the courageous figure of Eleanor holding a bow just as she's about to fire an arrow, the artistic style was well done as the statue brought out the complete beauty of Eleanor, after admiring the art style I turned my eyes towards the entrance hall where a significant amount of people moving around can be seen.

They were composed of different species, humans, elves, demons, and even some beastfolk but the most curious thing was that each of them had their own unique look that granted them an edge over the others when they used the bow, for example, I could see a four-armed red-skinned demon carrying a humongous bow.

In such a similar manner the rest also seemed to have their own advantages. My eyes calmly surveyed the people, in return they were also doing the same, ever since I entered the room a weird atmosphere had been created, all of them pretended like nothing was wrong as they went on with their duty but I could feel their keen interested eyes focusing on me,

"May I help you?"

Hearing a voice behind me I turned around coming upon a beastman, he seems to be in his 20s with dark brown and yellow hair, two dog ears extend from his head while a tail followed suit from his back, his vigilant brown eyes scanned me up and down, on his chest there was a badge with the symbol of two bows crossed in opposite direction, in fact, everyone here had the same badge.

But the difference here was that the guy in front of me had three stars on his badge while the rest has 6 or 5. Quickly gauging his strength, I smiled as I spoke,

"Yes, I would like to join the club, do you know where I can do that?"

"You want to join?"

Hearing my words the man in front of me was surprised for a moment before a happy smile came upon his face, nodding his head he spoke this time with a more chipper voice,

"If you want to join the procedure is quite easy but...."

"But?"

"But that is the ones for normal members with your power and position you could get a higher position in the club, excuse me please wait a moment"

Saying so he turned around as he walked a bit far taking out a communication device he started to talk to it, he's also quite thorough as he made sure to create a barrier around him as he talked. The talk went on for a minute before which he came back to me, nodding his head he spoke,

"Austin please follow me, for you our vice president and the president would like to test you"

"Sure, lead the way"

I agreed, seeing it he turned around as he started to lead me to a more restricted area, as we walked by many would turn their head towards me as they started gossiping around, both of us didn't pay any heed to it as we kept walking, the more forwards we went less the number of people gathered, here the mana signature among the people also grew stronger,

"So what's your name?"

I asked in order to break the somewhat tense atmosphere between us, he turned his head towards me as he kept walking and spoke,

"The name's Ferox, nice to meet you"

"The pleasure's mine Ferox"

Saying so the atmosphere became quiet again, seeing that the man in front of me was one of few words I didn't speak anymore as I followed around him, after 5 minutes we reached a closed door where there wasn't a single person guarding it, not stopping Ferox easily pushed the door as we entered.

As we did sunlight filled my face and a beautiful open area with several powerful people practicing their archery showed up in front of me, the whole area looked like a forest with several different sets up for archery, I could see shooting stations in the open area, there's also obstacle shooting, people shooting at waterfalls and several other practices.

All in all the place in front of me was heaven to practice archery, I stood there looking at the scene in front of me with twinkling eyes, Ferox stood in front of me waiting for me to follow him again, finally, after a minute I nodded my head back at him as I spoke,

"Thank you for waiting, we can go now"

"Okay"

Sure enough, as we entered inside I gained the eyes of the rest, keeping calm I kept walking as we moved towards a more denser area of mana and wind, the area looked like a cliff with a strong wind that kept arising from the bottom, there was a wide gap in between and a target stood at the other side of the cliff the distance must be about 30 or 40 meters.

There on the side of the cliff stood a woman as she aimed the bow towards the target at the other side of the cliff, such a shot should is extremely difficult, adding to the wind that kept blowing, any arrow that pa.s.ses by would just be deflected or pushed away, yet standing there facing such a burned the woman was calm and collected.

Her beautiful face was valiant and calculative as she aimed the bow forward, her black hair fluttered with the wind but the bow she held didn't flinch, with one swift movement she widened the bow her hands steadily held the bow, for a moment silence filled the surrounding as her beautiful black eyes focused on its target.

SWISH.....

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity the arrow left the bow, within a blink of an eye the arrow reached the center of the cliff where the wind blew the hardest, the force behind the arrow seemed to weaken here but instead of being blown away the arrow's trajectory gained a different momentum as it started to flow with the wind!

The arrow seemed to have gained its own life as it traveled with the wind, using the wind's speed to fuel its speed, it was a masterful move as the arrow moved with the wind, and soon it hit the center mark on the other side of the cliff! it was a beautiful display of power, accuracy, and control, a feat only possible by an expert in the field of archery,

"Clap....calp...amazing!"

Soon several others started to clap and look at the display with awe but the woman in hand that shot the arrow looked calm as she took in the applause of her audience, with one swift motion she began again as she kept firing arrow after arrow with different angles and styles, each one hitting with pinpoint accuracy, finally after her 10th shot she stopped.

She exhaled out as she started to descend down the top of the cliff, some went forward as they gave her refreshment, the woman accepted them as she started taking a rest, Ferox who had stopped once again started to walk towards the woman in front of me, she was someone that I knew quite well

She's Carmel Twilight, the princess of the Twilight Empire and another capture target.
