Volume 2 Chapter 1 (2/2)
As if he , the square went silent after a short, but loud applause The audience eyes were fixed on him Everyone knew that he passed the course with an outstanding score as a ed, and who recommended him
“The naroup yet, and the recommender is……”
Haroon paused there He couldn’t continue He wasn’t sure if he can reveal that the recommender is Elser He didn’t want any harm to her so he couldn’t help but to hesitate
“I recoician who Mckin admits”
Ain the middle table stood up His word broke the silence, and the audience went noisy It was because the recoed his face and shouted at the audience
“What, is there any objection I, Piel’s recommendation?”
And that ain Who would ever dare to object the Brave of the Black, Piel? He was born mercenary, and he was one of the 12 senates of the Headquarter of Mercenary Guilds of Teronn Eend, well known as the only human came out alive from the Black Forest, the forest of devilish monsters
A few trainees’, including Sevona and Nemion, went pale There was no reason that Haroon couldn’t be a ician if he was recommended by Piel
“Huh-huh-huh! Would there be, sir? They are just surprised to hear that you have found a talented one and recommended him yourself”
“Hum, Hmm!” ranslation
PielNike’s word, the president of HQ But in his oes He heard the truth from Elser and McKin, and he still participated the cererace instead of Elser
‘Forhu to kill hiood face and body? How dare you!’ he thought
Haroon was standing there surprised by Piel’s clai Piel’s murderous stare that he didn’t know the reason for He knew so, but he didn’t knohy and it made him uncomfortable
‘So is he Elser’s Father? But why is he staring atto kill me?’
But it wasn’t ti him with interest, curiosity, expectations But not everyone atching hi him with a hostile expression, like jealousy or curses
‘Alright, then I will show you a true display of skills This is what I got with Elser’s help Elser, take a good look!’
“So he really was a ician? We certainly checked his h to be a rumbled Nemion
Her legs were already trely She used to say she could see one’sa spirit’s ability
“What I’ic act What you are going to see is so I learned to do It isn’t much to show, but please enjoy”
Noise aroused aic Everyone thought a question in theirknives are better than his ic?’
The trainers serving as a stage crew set up a target du them on in every 5 steps They set them in line, so in Haroon’s perspective, he would only be able to see the front dummy
“Gosh!+ How is he supposed to hit that with his throwing knife?”
The furthest dummy was 65 steps away¹ That wasn’t easy to reach even with a bow and an arrow, ht and is throith a bare hand On top of that, he couldn’t see the targets except for the first one nobody could guess what he was going to do
“Isn’t he just driven by his youthful bravery?
“If he throhile , yes he will be able to but the last one isn’t even clear to see
The audience souesses For their eyes, it just seee to perform
The distance of 65 steps were not even easy for the skilled archers There was no possibility that the throwing knifes would reach the target that far Sevona was able to reach the target because she used aura, but Haroon was ato be heroic
In fact, Haroon kneas iet that far But those worries never co on the throwing knives hold in his belt and the target If he uses the power of elemental spirit, he certainly could That’s why he trained for last few days and nights, being poisoned for few tenth of times
With the audience’s attention, Haroon stood in front of the dummies With an aslant posture, he took a knife and held it with his right hands, and he readied his left hand to throw the next one
“Brat, come out”
With a low voice that nobody else could hear, he summoned Brat Brat appeared and sat on his shoulder Of course, no one else could see it But there unexpectedly icians who felt soh-ranking uests A buzz of exciteh them
“I can sense the mana current!”
“What is it? It doesn’t seeic”
Haroon didn’t care about those noises It was tis he can do
“Huhu, is it finally the show tiht, I will fill what you lack and make the audience crazy
Yes, his talking was still very bitch, but Brat knehat Haroon was going to do The given time was short, and his affinity was still low, so the last rehearsal went fail too But Brat knew Haroon Brat knew very well that he will make it for this ti how he has such a low mana and Elemental force, Brat admitted his persistence and concentration
“By the pact of the string connecting the torlds, I summon you, Sylph”
“Huhuhu, I knew you were planning a scam You master are so evil”
As Haroon’s clear voice echo down the square, Brat cast 8 small whirl winds Even the spirit hasn’t revealed its appearance, the audience still could find out that Sylph, the spirit of as in presence Even in Nemion’s act, they couldn’t see the sylph This presentation has led such a reaction
“It’s the spirits!
“He was an Elementalist!”
“Oh gosh, An eleic?”
The croent crazy because nobody couldn’t even think that he is an Elementalist Normally, spirits don’t reveal themselves unless the Elementalist make the 8 whirl winds8 times After all, Elementalists are not easy to find, like Nemion is
“There is ei, eight of them! But how……?”
Ne 8 sylphs when she barely summons 2 of them
Brat stoppedknife Creditably, It even didn’t forget to make the knife shake a bit, to make the audience to think that a sylph has stuck on it
“Here we go!”
The knife Haroon thre up and down like a fish swiet Haroon took another knife and threw at the second target and Brat guided it His hands threw knives with a perfect interval The third, and the fourth…… And the last one left his hand
“Huhu Believe ”
“Good work”
“Since now you kno good I a and your attitude Then I will reat person”
Haroon punched in its face
“Stop chattering and go back to your place”
Haroon dissue if they saw hiave attention to his actions since they were seeing his back
The first one he threly, al a se horizontally Every knife had different speed and a different trajectory Of course, it was all by Brat’s ability, trained by verbal and physical abuse of Haroon
But in audience perspective, seeing all 8 throwing knifes flying at the target was so unreal The trainers’, trainees’, and the guests’ eyes couldn’t be any wider, and their mouth didn’t seem to close in the near future They were speechless to see the throwing knives, which was a non-living object, i fishes
But there was only one sound Only one hit, they thought The fantastic throwing knife skill is worthy of praise, but it was no use if it doesn’t hit the target This drew heavy groans of the crowd
“It is sad to see only the front dummy was hit
“Even though it was an overdo, it eso knife skills with spirit’s ability applied”
When the croas talking in a whisper, there was a UI sound going on in Haroon’s ears
– You have learned new skill ‘Spirit-guided throwing knives‘
– ESP is increased by 1 point
– EFP is increased by 30
It was at that moment when the trainers ran at the each du at the saet dummies in rows so the audience could see it clearly Then the thundering applause roared up
“That’s awesome!”
“He is great!”
Somebody even whistled
There were 8 knives stuck in the dummies, one in each All 8 knives hit the different vital spots Even though they were not at the bull’s-eyes, it didn’t hit the outside of circle indicating the vital spots One short sound ; that all 8 knives hit the dummies at the same time Therefore, itSylph’s power to ets at the same time
That was never tried by anyone at any tihest stage of throwing knives No Ele their spirits’ power It was Haroon, who thought out of the fraic
It was Mercenaries’ tradition to use throwing knives as a signal of a sudden attack or a hidden card to rescue theency situation, and mercenary Elementalists were no exception To the pure excla officers orof Haroon’s throwing knives skills
“What kind of throwing knives on earth is that elaborate?”
“That’s, that’s scary I got the goose bumps”
“Is that even possible? I never heard they could put spirit’s power in daggers”
As if they still think it unbelievable even after seeing it with their very own eyes, the guests were still standing up as with a look of waking up froe dreams
“Who is that pal again?”
“He is Haroon, re how he ca knives and the spirit, he is a
“And he did say he doesn’t belong in any guild, right?”
Their eyes were burning bright
Noknife skill, with that he could be considered as an advanced classhis eleic They haven’t seen his swordsmanshi+p or any other skills, but they’ve seen one, and that uild leaders’ eyes were burning bright
Souild HQ president and Piel
Footnotes:
¹ 65 steps away: In the raw text, it ritten 70 steps away I believe the author did thedummy to 8, from 30 steps aould be 60 (30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65), whereas I believe the author just did 30 + 5×8 = 70
