Chapter 107 - Quitting (2/2)

The rest of the group understood what Dan meant. Monk was short for his age while Martha was quite a tall slender girl. Their height difference made the two of them look like brother and sister rather than lovers.

”What do you know,” Monk mumbled to himself.

Martha and Cherry were now stood opposite each other. The two of them were both Archer users and the tournament was set up this way on purpose. This tournament was to decide the team that would be going forward for the All kingdom tournament. It was best to have a variety of different warriors, so the matchups the academy put together used similar weapons. In order to end up with a diverse team.

Gary and Harry with their swords. Martha and cherry with their bow. Dan and Arthur with his spear and longsword and so on.

There weren't many archer knights so the crowd was excited to see how the match would turn out.

”The match will start in 3…2…1.”

The war horn sounded once again. Martha took an arrow from her quiver and quickly drew her bow firing it straight at Cherry. Instead, of avoiding the arrow like most, Cherry simply took her time and aimed carefully before letting go. Cherry's arrow flew through the air and hit Martha's arrow dead on causing both of them to fall to the ground.

”Did you see that?”

”Yeah, she managed to hit the arrow while it was still in the air, it's such a small target how is that possible?”

”She must have been lucky.”

The crowd thought it was impossible to be able to display accuracy at that level and simply judged it as a fluke. But as Martha fired another arrow Cherry done the same proving it was not a fluke.

Martha this time decided to do a quick draw, firing two arrows in rapid succession but Cherry just responded with the same back.

Cherry yawned as if she was bored by the fight

”Rose said you were special for a second year, now I see she was just comparing you to all the other green sashes.”

These words angered Martha, in the next shot Martha placed as much Ki as possible into her next arrow. This arrow flew out faster and stronger than the others before. Martha was sure this one would surprise her.

But again, Cherry lifted her bow and shot one straight back, only this time when Cherry's arrow hit Martha's it carried on going through the arrow causing it to split in half. The arrow continued moving forward and at the last second, Martha managed to move her head.

The arrow continued forward slamming into the arena wall right by Kyle's face. Kyle went to take a look at the arrow and it had nearly completely sunken into the wall, only leaving an inch sticking out of the wall.

”Such power, if she got hit by that she's going to die.” The crowd thought.

Monk gulped in fear for Martha.

Martha felt a sting on her face as she noticed a slight trickle of blood drip to the ground. The arrow had managed to just skim her face.

”Hey, do you think the master knights will be able to stop that, I could hardly see the arrow,” Kyle said nervously.

Ray himself was even wandering the same thing, if he would be able to stop the arrow. Blocking it or using force against it was fine. But to be able to grab an arrow like that before it hit its target. It seemed like an impossible task.

”She should give up. Otherwise, she's going to get hurt.” Ray suddenly said.
