Archery Genius in the Academy

Chapter 153

A deep canyon to the northwest.

In this place where no one can reach, there was a person whose entire body was covered with scars.

His name is ‘Hyeonwang’.

When the bandage on his right hand came off, he took out an extra bandage as usual.

Naturally, his right hand was closed.

Whip- Whip-

“It’s all gone this year.”

It’s already been five years since I’ve been living in the canyon north of here.

In this place where people were inevitably rare, the king looked at the distant sky.

“You are gradually losing your identity.”

Even five years ago, he was the best bow master in his life and a hunter of SS rank or higher.

His bowing skills are difficult to evaluate without care even to this day.

He was a bow master recognized by everyone.

The fact that he fell under the demon king’s black curse became an opportunity for him to lose his own color.

pounding-!

“Keugh! Aww!”

Hyeonwang made a painful expression at the sudden heartbeat.

A heartbeat that fluctuates once in a while. This signal was a signal implying that the mana was gradually burning up and dissipating.

“… It’s getting worse and worse.”

sooner or later

The Hyeonwang, who felt that he would not have any magic power left, thought of continuing his secluded life here.

“Let’s be patient, we have to be patient.”

His expression was contorted all the time as he endured the bitter pain in his chest.

However, this is not the first time or two.

He thought that if he endured this pain for a short while, it would soon stop.

“The pain is getting longer and longer.”

The pain, which felt brief at first, was getting slower as the years went by.

This meant that the scale of the wise king’s magical power was decreasing exponentially.

The King of Kuwawa-

In the meantime.

A large white bear was approaching him.

“You are the only one.”

– Big!

The white bear licked the face of the Hyeonwang. I feel like I know what he’s like right now.

It was a very natural behavior, as if he had never been through this situation before.

“You can stop now, I’m a little better.”

– Big uh uh

Even though the white bear understood the words of the Hyeonwang, he continued to lick his face.

“Anyway, I think it’s about time… .”

The Hyeonwang had something to wait for every half year. The news of ‘Choi Deok-ho’, who was no different from his teacher.

I had always been in touch with trivial (?) news through Choi Deok-ho.

I realized that it was about time to hear the news of him.

Before long, a hawk chirped in the sky.

The dark brown feathers were shining enough to flutter in the sky, so the hyeonwang would soon know who the owner was.

“I knew it.”

The guy who spins around a couple of times at the top of the head of the wise king.

Then, naturally, it was a hawk that even landed on the shoulder of the hyeonwang.

kaaa-

“You forgot to come.”

As usual, a blue crystal ball was attached to the hawk’s leg.

As usual, the hyeonwang took out the crystal ball and just looked at it for about 10 seconds.

Then, dreamy vapors began to rise from within the crystal ball.

Soon after, a familiar voice came from the crystal ball.

– It seems that this year has already passed. Even the invisible camellias are slowly blooming. It’s a guild war soon, so it would be nice if I could see my face at least once… . Of course, it would be obvious that not even a shadow would shine. And, strangely, it seems that a friend with the same eyes as you will participate in this Guild Wars. It would be great if you confirmed it yourself… . Anyway, if you want to come back to Korea, come back anytime.

Hyeonwang, who received Choi Deok-ho’s message through the crystal ball, did not take it seriously.

“And then, the guild war must be in full swing.”

When I was young, I was in the Woo Hwang Guild.

Every year around this time, he too was often noted for his sense of duty as the ace of the guild.

The ‘Hyeonwang’ who was responsible for winning the Guild Wars all the time.

Even now, within the Woohwang Guild, he was revered as the Legendary Bow Master.

There were still many guild members waiting for him.

By the way, one of the messages from Deokho Choi to King Hyeon.

One thing was memorable.

“A friend with eyes like mine? What are you talking about again?”

Hyeonwang, who was aware of his teacher’s tendency to never say such a thing, had doubts.

“Yeonggam-taeng, I’m not the kind of person to spit out useless words… .”

From old times, Choi Deok-ho’s keen eye is not quite sharp, so he admits that it is tricky.

He also caught the eye of Choi Deok-ho and was taught.

It was thanks to Choi Deok-ho’s sharp eyes that he was able to be admired as the top bow master of the present generation.

“I wouldn’t have said that because I was senile… .”

On the other hand, Hyeonwang was also curious.

I also wanted to compare whether Choi Deok-ho’s point of view and his own point of view were similar.

However, he had no intention of leaving the canyon with a simple word from him.

Even if he said that he would visit Korea again.

In fact, since there was nothing to change in his current physical condition, he had no intention of leaving this place.

“This is the only place I will stay.”

The Hyeonwang broke his will. Also, the falcon that was leaning on his shoulder was sent back.

“I’ll see you next year, in the summer.”

***

Gwangalli, Busan.

Finally, the highlight of the special competition, the final stage, was held.

Maybe it’s because it’s the finals for Yoon Bit-na, who has been wearing her hair all the time… .

I tied my hair neatly and went up on stage.

“I waited! I was hoping to see you in the finals, but my dream has come true!”

I didn’t know her true intentions, but she really wanted to step on the final stage with Minjun.

“I am.”

Minjun also responded (?) to this.

When the start whistle blows, Yoon Bit-na is ready to run to Min-joon.

She looked determined.

Beep-!

The whistle announcing the start of the final!

just as expected.

Yoon Bit-na lifted the staff she was holding as if she had been waiting.

“A curtain of fire!”

Yoon Bit-na, who infused magic in an instant, immediately used magic.

A pillar of fire formed around her, and she pointed her finger at Minjun.

Then, the pillar of fire flew straight towards Minjun.

aaa-

There were colorful lights around the stage, but I don’t know if it’s because of Yoon Bit-na’s magic.

The stage was brighter and more heated.

Minjun hurriedly gathered his mana and responded.

“It doesn’t matter.”

He took out several arrows and neutralized Yoon Bit-na’s magic.

That Min-jun could neutralize her magic with just an arrow.

It was a part that hinted that she was not yet showing her skills to 100 percent.

Paang- Paang-

As soon as her magic was destroyed, Yoon Bit-na immediately tried to use another pattern, as if she had expected it.

“Wave of flames!”

As if it reminds me of a wave in front of her in an instant.

A vast screen of fire began to spread in all directions.

It was a range that covered half of the stage, so it was already beyond the level of easy response.

The guild members of each guild who watched this reacted differently.

“Usually, the range of waves of flame is determined by the scale of magic power… .”

“Aren’t you already at the level of a trainee at that level?”

“Did you make me a special participant in the Woohwang Guild for no reason?!”

“Anyway, I’m more curious about how to respond to something like that?”

After seeing the range of magic that can only be seen at the level of an active hunter.

The guild members wondered how Minjun would escape the situation.

But contrary to what they think.

Min-joon insisted on the counter-fire operation.

“Do you think I will back down?”

Minjun’s mana was concentrated on his lower body.

It would be fair to say that his lower body was surrounded by dark blue magic power.

Rather, Yun Bit-na drew the bowstring through the flames spread out.

‘Hale shot!’

No matter how much I was swept away by the flames everywhere.

Rather, Minjun used the flames to create a whirlwind of fire around the arrow.

“Oh!”

Yoon Bit-na was taken aback by Min-joon’s clever (?) response.

The arrow wrapped in flames flying in front of him looked like a particularly large rock.

“eww! Ph, floral shield!”

She immediately created a shield. I thought that a shield that could absorb a certain amount of damage would definitely reduce the damage.

In an instant, a white shield was filled around Yoon Bit-na, and she faced Min-jun’s bombardment as it was.

“I knew I was going to get hit with something like this! No way… ! oh!”

dismissal-

An unexpected situation unfolded. A floral shield that I thought would hardly break.

However, was it because the damage exceeded the standard value?

The shield that he had ambitiously put up started to crack from Minjun’s arrow.

Even the arrowheads reached her right in front of her eyes!

At this rate, it was safe to say that Yoon Bit-na’s shield was broken.

“Speak, nonsense! My shield!”

throughout the special battle. There was no one who broke her shield even once.

Because it is harder than an iron wall and absorbs the opponent’s damage as it is.

It wasn’t a shield that would break easily.

However, the shield was cracked by Minjun’s pile of arrows and was on the verge of breaking!

Even Yoon Bit-na could not think of the next situation to deal with, perhaps because an unexpected situation had unfolded.

“It’s like you’ve trusted yourself too much. But I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

Is it because the power control is too bad?

Even Min-jun did not know that Yoon Bit-na’s shield would break in vain.

Yoon Bit-na, who has become defenseless.

Perhaps during the special battles of all time.

It was a moment that could be the final stage with the shortest playing time.

“Concentrated fire!”

As he was swept away by the flames, Minjun’s skill flew straight towards Yoon Bitna.

Yoon Bit-na, who never dreamed that she would be hit in reverse by the flames she had spread.

There was no way for her to do anything about the parade of arrows pouring down.

“no!”

She couldn’t handle the indiscriminate rain of arrows.

I tried to block it by mobilizing all the magic I had (?), but the more I tried, the more my limits were revealed.

As a result, there was no sign of the tide reversing.

The final stage of the special competition soon came to an end.

“The match is impossible! The winner of the finals of the special match-up will be Cha Min-joon!”
