Chapter 55 Drawing Lessons (2/2)

”We will move on to basic combat abilities next. Of course, there are many kinds of combat skills and it isn't possible to cover everything in such a short time. I'll be teaching you the most basic skills required for a bow user. Normally, archers need to train on their accuracy but with Sureshot, you only need to worry about being able to shoot it.”

Truen sat up straight. Freya handed him a dream replica of Sureshot. He had some arrows in his inventory but Freya refused to replicate those.

”Use magic to create arrows. They're more useful than normal arrows. Depending on the enemy you are fighting, you can manipulate the effects of each arrow you shoot.”

The elf frowned. ”Isn't casting magic enough? What's the difference between a magic arrow and a normal spell?”

Freya grinned. ”There was a reason why we gave you a bow. Magic is limited by a radius. Out of a certain radius, the caster is unable to do anything. Sureshot is different. It allows magic to follow the target, ignoring the radius rule.”

Truen's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he heard Freya's explanation. Isn't such overpowered abilities considered cheating?!

”As awesome as it sounds, it would be useless if you can't draw it fast enough. There will be many challenging situations that might require you to draw a bow with hands, without hands, on water or even in the air. That said, we will only practice drawing the bow normally today. Over the next few days, I will introduce more challenging situations for you to get familiarised with.”

As uncanny as it sounded, Truen didn't doubt Freya's words. A normal adventurer would probably not find himself in those situations but Treun believed that travelling with Zero made anything possible.

Once they rested enough, Freya started barking orders again.

”Butt out! Chest straight. Don't relax that arm, do you want it to break when you shoot?”
