16 16. Dalilah:Qatil Aleamaliqa

In the morning, like I usually do, I went out for a 30 min run and then 30 min exercise in my room.

After a nice cold shower and full breakfast, Alfred finally took me to the location Bogrod planned for my battle classes.

As I was a little early, I started looking around. It was a big open-top ground surrounded by thick round walls from all sides, covered by powerful wards to repel all unwanted attention. At one side there was a rack filled with various types of weapons. There were many other things like training dummies, archery targets etc.

Seeing as there are 15 more minutes to 9am, I picked up a wooden bow and started practicing archery at the targets. Stopping after each try, I was improving at a monstrous speed. For the next 15 minutes I did nothing other than notching arrows and taking shots. By the time my instructors reached there, I was already able to accurately hit my target from a distance of 50 meters. Nothing spectacular but for me whose arrows were flying from the side of target from a distance of 10 meters, I can say I have improved a lot in just these 15 minutes.

Lowering the bow I looked towards the new arrivals. There stood Bogrod and a beautiful woman. Seeing me looking at them, they walked towards me, " Lord Potter, This is Dalilah. She works at our Egyptian branch and specializes in Archery. Don't look down on her because of her beauty, in Egypt she is famous as 'Qatil Aleamaliqa' which means 'Killer of Giants'.

Everyday one new instructor will come to teach you for 2-3 hours. Dalilah here has already taken the vow of secrecy as will all other instructors.

Now I will leave you two alone... " Saying so, he left and I looked at my instructor.

"Hello Dalilah, you can call me Harry. Let's start without delay." I said not wanting to waste any time.

"okay Harry. I just saw you practicing archery, it seems you have been practicing for some years.

Now what I'm going to teach you is how to combine magic with archery."

"Dalilah-" I interrupted her"- sorry to interrupt you but I want you to teach me everything you know about battles. If I don't catch up then it will be my fault. I don't want you to go easy on me."

My words caused her to look deeply at me with a frown, she obviously did not believe me but still followed my commands.

"As you wish Harry." The next 3 hours passed in a blur. She taught me how to shoot moving targets and then how to shoot accurately from a long distance using magic. She also taught me how to use wind magic to make sniping easier. At last she taught me how to use potions, enchantments and charms, and transfiguration to make archery much more deadly.

For example using some very potent venom which can make deadly potions. Dipping the arrowheads in them will kill even dragons and giants.

With transfiguration it will be easy to make different types of arrows for different situations. We can use charms to make explosive arrows. And enchantment can imbue arrows with special properties to counter different situations.

"Harry, I have to say I did not expect it. When goblins contacted me to teach some kid my battle style, I was going to actually reject them.

but then they said I only have to teach for a maximum of 3 hours just once and I thought some fool had too much money, so I immediately accepted it.

But now... You just blew my mind.. I have never seen or heard of such a monstrous genius like you. You actually learned everything I know in just 3 hours. It's like you have dedicated 6-7 years just for this. You really are a monster Harry." Dalilah said, socked of my performance.

"you are praising me too much. It's all thanks to you teaching me everything and putting up with me." I said sincerely.

"Now you are humble bragging. Anyway, if you even need any help, you can contact me directly. I know you will become a formidable character, consider me your first fan.

You are just too young or I might have even asked you to be my boyfriend." she said giving me her contact information and teasing me at the end.

"Haha, it's alright. Maybe I will really contact you after my puberty.." I teased he back causing her to laugh.

"Okay then. I will be waiting for your call, you little monster. Don't you dare forget me.. " After some more light hearted conversation, we both bid each other farewell.
