3 Bow Skill
"oh hey, I'm Mike; nice to meet you too, also thank you for saving me. I will repay the favour in the future".
"Don't mind, don't mind we are just doing the right things, right brother?". Eric answered and glanced at Alex while Alex nodded faintly.
Then Eliza remembers and spoke, " Brother Alex, Mike told me he wants to learn how to use a bow".
Alex glanced at the mike and said," okay, follow us".
The three then began to go outside; they stroll for a while and continue walking until they are in the town's middle. While walking, a bunch of elves stare at Mike. He then thought for a while and remembered what Eliza told him, so contribute it to his black hair.
Mike turn around and wave at the group of elves who are watching him with interest. They seem very curious by his appearance, but they don't react negatively or anything like that.
They continue walking before entering a house packed with weapons and bows as the sign says "weaponry shop".
"Hello, we would like to buy a bow", Alex told the shopkeeper.
"longbow or compound bow?" the shopkeeper asks.
"longbow, how much is it" Alex responded.
"100 copper coin," The shopkeeper said.
"Also, we need 10 blunt arrows and 20 hunting arrows", Alex said while handing him 300 copper coins.
"Thanks for buying!" the shopkeeper said while Mike and the two brothers left.
...
[Eliza and her brother's back house]
Mike, who is holding the bow, Alex tried to teach him by telling him to keep it as he tries to pull the arrow's trigger. Mike pull back the bow, and He put his right index finger on the trigger.
Alex glance at Mike and gives him a blunt arrow, "Do you see that target?
Mike nodded and look at what seems to be a white mark stab made by a dagger at the surface of a giant tree.
hit it." Alex spoke said to Mike.
Mike pulls the arrow back and then lets it go, but He is mistaken that it will go further than it does, and it hits the left side target, making a tiny mark.
Alex nodded slightly.
"learning how to use bow is quite hard at the beginning. See? You can't expect to pull a bow back and let it go without knowing how to do it right." Alex said.
Mike listen again to Alex as he tried it again; this time, he is in total focus as his eyes laid on the white mark in the centre of the tree.
He stretches the longbow with a blunt arrow and aims at the tree's centre; then, he let go of the string.
A thud sound was heard as the arrow land accurately in the middle of the tree.
"Not bad for a beginner," Alex nodded with an approving look.
"Wow, a bullseye in the second try, nice one, brother Mike." Eric cheered at the side while clapping his hand.
Mike scratch his backhead while faintly smiling; being a miner at eighteen with no future, receiving praises is quite rare and unusual for him.
<You completed the hidden mission>
[Hit 1 bull's eye target]
Reward: Bow skill + 1 status point
End-
"Huh?"
Mike suddenly got startled at the blue screen in front of him.
"I completed the mission already?"
Mike looked at the words inscribed on the blue screen, and suddenly, a bunch of information stream inside his head. From how to pull the bow over to how to estimate the distance accurately.
Eric looks at Mike and asks, " Mike, you okay? You looked dazed for a while."
Mike heard Eric, and he snaps back into reality and responds quickly, "Oh yea, yea, I'm okay, Brother Alex. Can you give me one more blunt arrow? I want to try it again."
"Okay, sure, here." Alex nodded and grab one more blunt arrow from his quiver and give it to Mike.
Mike extended his hand and grabbed the arrow.
His aura suddenly changes; it looks like an experienced hunter that lurks in the forest for more than a decade.
...
Alex, who is watching Mike, suddenly frowns at what he was seeing.
Mike pulls the string of the bow with a move that similarly happened like it practices a thousand times.
He then let go of the string, and the arrow land in the centre accurately.
Alex pondered at what he sees as he looks at Mike with doubts. He then gave one more blunt arrow to Mike and said, "you want to shoot more? here."
Mike looks at Alex and gets one more arrow as he expertly shoots it one more time by getting a result of another bull's eye.
Eric, standing beside Alex, stares dumbly at Mike, while Alex's face got solemn; the moment, Mike got three consecutive bull's eye in a row.
"Do you really not know how to use a bow? If that is true, you Mike have a good talent in this field." Alex solemnly said as he looks at Mike, who is scratching the back of his head.
'I feel like I become another person earlier. I think the only possible reason is the reward I got from the blue screen.' Think for a while and got his answers while getting showered by praises from Eric.
"huh, what's this?"
