203 – Joint Evaluation (7)⚝
The next day, Tuesday morning. I woke up Kite, who had been sleeping a lot in the morning, and repaired his gear for him.
“Kind.”
He said that in a sleepy voice, so I gave him a slap and went to check on Ain’s condition.
“Can you take the test in the morning?”
“f*ck you, my legs are all healed!”
She was so confident that she headed straight to the archery test site with the two women. I was disappointed because the exterior and interior were below expectations. Compared to Heoden, only the scale was larger, and the facility itself was old and insignificant.
“Aren’t there a lot of Mentator and Colonia uniforms?”
Ain said so, so I answered that I consulted with the professor yesterday and took the exam during this time.
“Yangmul, be careful not to get into trouble.”
“Who cares?”
According to the regulations, if you fight with a cadet from another academy during the exam, you will not only be disqualified from taking the exam but also have to pay a fine.
“Temanah…… “Please check this.”
Kite asked me to watch her bow bow. She replied that her tension was the same as usual and she was fine as is.
“Yes…… But, didn’t I miss something?”
It seemed like she didn’t have any other equipment, but she wore everything from finger tabs to protective gear well.
“Kite, you don’t need a stick for the test.”
“No…… “There’s more to it than that.”
“Don’t you think pig’s feet are getting worse day by day?”
Looking at Kite taunting her body, she finally realized that her Ajin was waiting for her taunts.
“Good job.”
“Yes…… “I tried my best.”
“Oh, I’m going to throw up, so call me when the exam starts?”
I thought she was just talking, but she really left. As soon as the princess disappeared and we dealt with her coquettish Kite, her familiar face came towards us. Her short hair made her instantly recognizable.
“Oh…… “Is it Chan Gallery?”
“I guess they all assigned Heoden to the same class.”
She talks to me politely, but she doesn’t make eye contact with me.
─Did I do something wrong?
“Unpeishi, the formula I taught you last time may not work here.”
“Yes, so what should I do?”
“Because it’s outdoors, you have to consider the wind direction, so I’ll shoot first and let you know.”
“Thank you…… “It’s Chan Gallery!”

“Kite, just call me Chan.”
“I don’t care.”
“Oh my…… “Can I call you Chaney?”
Due to Kite’s personality of being cute in everything, I guess I wanted to call him a nickname that differentiates him from others.
“Unpeishi, do whatever you want.”
“I understand, Chaney!”
Chan turned her body around. There is something about the way she avoids my gaze until the end.
“Chan!”
I called out to her as she turned around, but she just stopped walking without looking at me.
“Thank you for taking care of me.”
“Later, when shooting long distances…… Hmm…… I’ll come back then. “I have a story to tell and I need your help.”
Afterwards, when all the cadets gathered, three examiners selected from Velaste came in.
“Comprehensive archery involves both short and long range shooting.”
“At short distances, only direct and curved shots are evaluated.”
“It can be fired at long distances, including direct fire, curved fire, cavalry, and double fire.”
However, since only weaving and bending are required subjects, you can give up driver and courier. He declares that he will begin the exam, saying that since this is only an area where extra points are awarded, only cadets who aim for high scores should take the challenge.
“Mentor cadets, please come up in order.”
At the call of the examiners, those wearing navy blue uniforms went up to the station. Although there were no noticeable decorations, it was clear that each item had been custom-made. It was so booty that I knew right away that the fabric itself was high quality.
“Yangmul, do you remember what I said?”
I remembered that Ain said that it was those guys who had the worst sense of inferiority.
“Watch carefully, those who don’t have it are more pretentious.”
Soon, short-range shooting began. Out of a total of 10 shots, only a handful of cadets hit with 9 or less shots. When the test was over, the main examiner and assistant examiner gathered and announced the mentor’s average.
“92.3 Points!”
While the hall was quiet, a few people were wondering what the score was for Velaste last year.
“Guys, Velaste scored over 95 points.”
Ain muttered and asked how you knew that.
“Of course I know because this is where I wanted to go to school. “In Velaste, there are only monsters with a long-distance shooting score of over 95.”
“Demana, I’m so nervous…… “What if I fail the test?”
“Jokbal, if you really do that, you should know that you will be beaten by me.”
“Oh my…… Therefore…… Aang, I’m feeling more burdened and nervous, so I’m going crazy!”
“Kite, I’m going to hit your butt hard with the whip too, so prepare yourself.”
I become quiet when I think about doing well and not talking weakly. She asked how many times she was going to hit me while she was watching the feds. She has a mysterious expression on her face, saying that if she scares you until she gets angry, then her butt will be on fire.
“Hey, Colonia is starting.”
“The school uniforms are really fancy over there, aren’t they?”
“Those b*tches focus on appearance rather than skills.”
Everyone put on their shoes and went up to the four ranks. I expected that his skills would be bad because he was dressed like that. Average score: 82.6 Points. As I watched, amazed that no one in Mentator was making comments, Ain blurted out an argument.
“Isn’t there a lot of marriage between Mentator and Colonia graduates?”
“Ah, that was it.”
“Your Highness…… I don’t know. “Will something change when you two get married?”
“You don’t do anything worthy of criticism and just move on.”
“Ain, what was Heoden’s score last year?”
“Baby, how do I know? “A local academy like this is no better than a local academy, except it’s located near the capital.”
“Oh my…… Demana, our academy also has good facilities…… “Your Majesty speaks only negatively.”
“Oh my, Mentator’s school uniform, Colonia’s decorations, and Heoden’s facilities make everyone feel inferior.”
We were just chatting with each other, but I raised my head when I heard Heoden’s name being called.
─What about Velaste and Orgiola?
Looking around, I can’t see any other academy’s uniforms. I finally realized the unwritten rule that Enbozah Menshi said. They gather in the afternoon and compete against each other, putting the pride of each academy on the line.
“Hey, Heoden is starting.”
“Aren’t they worse than Colonia?”
“Because I wasted money, it must be better than last year!”
“Hey, you said you were a golden rider back then, but you didn’t do anything special, right?”
Mentor’s side kept saying things. It was a familiar disdain, but it was a bit unsightly to see other academies do that. At times like this, she misses Ain’s lion’s rear, but no matter how much she is a princess, she endures it silently, as if there is nothing she can do now.
“You bastards, you didn’t even talk to Colonia, you’re such a piece of sh*t.”
“It’s a bit annoying to me too.”
Families that were familiar to me also stood on the four tables. Since it was a short-range shot, everyone hit the target, but the rate of five-fold was higher than that of the previous archers. Every time an arrow missed the target, quiet laughter flowed from the Colonia side.
“I hate those b*tches more. “Yang Mul, don’t you find it more annoying to be subtly ridiculed?”
─I guess it wasn’t because I suffered from you.
“You don’t know what you’re thinking until you say it.”
“You brat, if you’re a real woman, you’ll definitely give up and go in?”
“Oh my…… Demana, I think what you said is somewhat true.”
─Guys, it’s more annoying to do this openly.
The skills of the Heoden cadets are clearly mediocre. It is at a similar level to Colonia, but is clearly slower than Mentator. As she was quietly looking at Sadae, Ain bit her lip and muttered.
“82 Points.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s annoying because these idiots are worse than Colonia.”
Damn Heoden, he spits out that and looks at our cadets lined up below the squadron.
“If everyone, from Chan Gallery to me, you, and Kite, gets perfect scores, we can turn things around.”
“Oh…… “Your Highness, did you just call my name?”
“I’m the type of person who can’t live without losing, so you should learn straight from the corpse b*tch and do well.”
Finally, Ain has reached her rank. She looked around and shouted at Colonia.
“Average score of 83!”
While everyone was confused and didn’t know what was going on, he fired ten shots and got a perfect score.
“I don’t want to lose to Colonia, so be prepared to get a perfect score?”
After finishing shooting, I say this to Chan, who is next in line. The voice was loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear. A laugh erupted from Mentator’s side. It was a female cadet. Everyone was agitated and wondered why Heoden was like that. Chan rose to the rank despite ridicule that he was bluffing because it was a low-difficulty short-range shooting.
“Let’s begin.”
After bowing politely as usual, she fired all ten shots in rapid fire.
“There is no wind right now, so just follow the formula.”
As I came down from her station and informed Kite, my childhood friend became thoughtful and trembled.
“I…… Kid…… Oh my god. Demana, if I don’t get a perfect score…… Are we all being humiliated together?”
Really, you need to know that the princess is willing to risk her life. I calculated the average score in my head. There is no problem as long as Kite gives 80 points. I whispered into the ear of my childhood friend, who only smiled.
“Even if you make a mistake, I will correct it.”
To relieve the crushing pressure, she pressed her thumb between Kite’s eyes.
“This is an oath that prisoners take.”
The trembling has finally stopped. Finally, my childhood friend entered the college of education. The noise this time was definitely different.
“Kite!”
As we cheered and called out our names, the examiners gave us a stern warning.
─It’s okay if you make a mistake, I’ll figure it out somehow.
When I said that with just my eyes, he nodded and adjusted his bow. She takes aim for a long time and then she fires one shot. She crossed the line and missed the target. When someone makes a mockery, this time he aims a little lower and pulls the string.
“Five-fold!”
Finally, words came out from Colonia as well.
“Are you saying you were going to beat us with that kind of skill?”
“Oh my god, look at that body.”
“It looks so s*xy. “Why is the body of the guy who works out like that?”
─Shut up, you f*cking b*tches.
Kite looked back at me. As she raised her arm, clenching her fist, Chan and Ain soon joined in. As she cried, she took aim again at the target. The arrow went out of bounds. It was a clean hit. As we shook our fists together, without hesitation we fired seven shots and hit all of them.
“83 Points.”
Fortunately, we maintained the average. Her Ain rushed to hug Kite as she came down exhausted.
“Damn it, that’s enough pig’s feet!”
“Your Majesty, I am now…… I smell sweat. Not now…… Demanah?”
He indirectly expressed that he wanted to be hugged by me, so I hugged him and Ain. The familiar smell of sweat spread out. When I got to the next station, I hit ten shots faster than anyone else and pointed towards Colonia.
“84 Points with this?”
─You can ignore Heoden, but don’t ignore us here. Except for one, they all climb up to the top level.
Those words kept coming up inside me and it was difficult to bear them.
