39 Precise Aiming (1/2)

Era Of Authority Gery_ 35160K 2022-07-22

Inside his room, Greg was quietly cultivating.

After he found out he could combine elements and make new ones, he was experimenting and practicing in the last couple of days.

Around him, in a small bubbles, there were now a lot more than before.

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Time, s.p.a.ce, Mist, Lava, Metal, Dust, Lighting and Light.

These 12 elements were his limit at the moment, so if he want to get more he should need to break through into the next Realm.

”Hmm...I can understand almost all of them, but there's only one problem. I can control them and change one into another, but not making things out of them. It seems I have to use my enlightenment, if I want to.” thought Greg as he was cultivating.

What he thought was right. Only with his enlightenment could he make the impossible into possible, but only with his Authority is he able to control elements.

At the moment the two ability were two different power, however what will happen after he reaches the sixth Realm?

His Enlightenment and Authority will melt together and will be a new one. After that will he be able to use his creations fabric as he wants? or change for example a huge boulder into a black hole?

At the moment these things were just dreams for him, so he wanted to take things step by step. And his first step is to break through into the second Realm.

And for that, he needs to use his cultivation flow in his body nonstop from here onward.

”Yep. I just need to concentrate on what is in front of me. Nothing else. And after I reach the sixth Realm, I will go and found out what happened to my mother.” said Greg with seriousness in his voice.

With this, he sped up his cultivation flow in his body and with that, he stood up and walked out of the room.

It was 12:50 p.m and the next segment was beginning soon.

***

Everybody was down in the hall as before. Isla, Dorothy were talking with Michael and when they saw Greg's approaching figure, they smiled and greeted him.

”Hi! Did you sleep well? You didn't even come down to eat breakfast.” asked Isla with a smile on her face.

”Yeah, kind of. Anyway, are you ready for the next segment?” asked Greg from the three.

”To tell the truth, Isla and me...Well, we are not so good with aiming. But we will make it somehow.” answered Dorothy shyly.

”Haha! I'm perfect in it, so you don't have to worry!” said Michael with a smile, as he hit his chest with pride.

Greg just rolled his eyes at him and said to the girls,”Don't worry. Just try and aim with your best and who knows, maybe luck helps.”

”Haha, I don't think luck will help here.” laughed Isla.

As they were talking happily, they heard the same calm and slow clapping so they turned their gazes up to the stairs.

Up there, Pete was looking at them with his emotionless face and a second later he spoke up.

”It seems everyone is here. Then follow me, all of you.”

Everybody started to follow Pete from behind and they walked out into the backyard.

When Greg walked out, he saw five steel figures as targets in the distance and two types of weapons on a table. A gun and a bow.

”Okay, here we are. One by one you can choose a long distance weapon and you have 5 shots. Each shot will be your points, so if you miss that means you lost one.” said Pete and after stepping aside he continued,”First one will be Ella.”

Hearing her name Ella stepped forward and looked at the two weapons. After watching them for a while, she picked up the gun, aimed and pulled the trigger.

In that instant, the five figures in 100m away got shot within a second. 5 out of 5 got hit, without issue.

”Well done Ella. You can go back to your place.” said Pete and looked at the students. After a while he said,”Michael you are next.”

Hearing his name, Michael walked up casual and picked up the same gun. He aimed, pulled the trigger and hit the target. 5 out of 5. Perfect score.

After him several more candidates came with a score of 4 out of 5 or 3 out of 5, however none of them scored a perfect one.

”Greg, you are next.” said Pete looking at him.

”Sure” said Greg and walked up.

He looked at the gun and the bow. As he was looking at the two, he whispered,”Well, whatever.” With that he picked up the bow.

Seeing this, Pete's face turned a bit suprised, but no one noticed it because it was just only for a second. He asked,”Greg, are you sure you want to hit the target with a bow?”

Greg looked at Pete and nodded. Seeing his confidence, Pete just sighed and said,”Sure, what you want. But if you choose that one, you can't change it. Understood?”
