204 – Joint Evaluation (8)☆
The short-distance attack that followed was an unprecedented method.
“You’re putting the target up?”
“Because you are being forced to die.”
I thought there was a reason to use a howitzer at a distance of only 30m, but it was unavoidable for evaluation purposes. Now the targets we need to hit are divided into the top, middle, and bottom. Out of a total of 10 shots, aim 3 evenly and fire the last shot at the target you want to shoot at.
“Unpeishi, the trick is the same as before. “There is still no wind, so look at the corner of the target and aim.”
First, Chan, who came down from the academy, gave advice. Kite was shaking so I put her protective gear back on.
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“If you can’t do better than Pig’s Feet and Colonia, I’ll kill you.”
“Hey, don’t interrupt.”
“Are you saying that you have to raise the cub to be strong in order to become skilled?”
Kite covered her ears with both her hands and looked up at me. I just licked my lips to form words.
“Yes…… “I’ll just trust you.”
─Damn, you seem to have no confidence.
Mentator scored over 90 points in howitzers, and Colonia barely exceeded 80 points. Heoden’s current score is 81 points, so unless there is an upset, Colonia can win. However, if Kite made a mistake and miscounted everything, he could have lost by a decimal point.
“Come back.”
There was no other choice, so I patted him on the back and Kite jumped up and down on all fours.
“Hey, why are you doing that?”
“You’re just doing what I taught you.”
Kite, who was on the firing line, took aim at her top. Chan looked at her anxiously and she felt grateful.
Piyung──
“It’s a hit!”
As Chan shouted, I also cheered by clenching her fists. Kite looked at us. She was crying I don’t know why I was crying, but I was certain it wasn’t sadness. Her hands were shaking, so I watched without saying anything more.
“63 Points!”
It was worse than average, but it was excellent for my first short-distance combat. However, even after finishing shooting, it does not come down. Colonia was making noise and talking nonsense about Kite’s body type. A curse welled up in her throat, but she suppressed it and looked at Ain.
“Hey.”
The eyes are bright, like some kind of beast.
“What the f*ck?”
“If you get 63 points, you did well.”
“I need to get over 80 points. Are you kidding?”
It’s natural that I’m scared and can’t come down when I see people looking at me like this. I hugged Ain. When she started swearing, they grabbed each other and made Kite unable to look at her. Finally, he jumps down the platform and approaches Chan.
“Your Highness…… Sorry…… Do.”
I had no time to mediate between the two since it was my turn to move up to the sergeant major. Chan stood in the middle, crossed her arms and blurted out a word, looking like a bystander.
“It’s fair to look at it as an average of support, not combat.”
“Hey, corpse. “You stay quiet?”
“I don’t know if the princess has the right to be angry.”
Ain closed his mouth when asked how much he had taught him and whether he had properly trained him and taught him well. She could not delay any longer and went up to the station. I am familiar with curved arrows, but this is my first time seeing a target that extends from top to bottom. I concentrated and hit one shot. As I hit the remaining nine shots in succession, I felt Mentator’s gaze on me.
“Who is that bastard?”
“It’s just like playing alone!”
Some of the Mentator cadets pointed their fingers at me. I didn’t know what it meant, so I watched in silence, and the examiners told me to go down. Heoden’s average score was announced. It’s 80 points. It is superior to Colonia in decimal units.
“Oh my, I’m on fire.”
“Are you still approaching?”
When I came down from the academy and asked that question, he immediately clenched his fist. Kite whined like a puppy and snuggled into my arms. When I turned my back to block it, Ain kicked my ass. She said as Chan clicked her tongue.
“Now start long-range shooting.”
“Corpse, if it’s a long distance, the one who lacks basic skills is at a greater disadvantage, right?”
“No.”
I also agreed with Chan’s denial.
From noble mtl dot com
“For long distances, the differences in individual skills are large, so even if there are just a few good people, the average goes up.”
“Yangmul, are you confident?”
“Kite is also good at long-distance direct fire and curved fire.”
“No…… Demanah, honestly, I’m not confident…… “I don’t want to get scolded.”
I pressed the top of Kite’s head with her hand and hid it behind my back.
“If you don’t trust him, trust me.”
“You bastard, are you bluffing again?”
“I wasn’t bluffing.”
Chan said exactly that and she left, saying that he would prepare for her exam. She was scolding Ain, saying that she should bury that dead body in the dirt. She calmed Kite, who was shivering, and told her to prepare for her next shot.
“Hey, pig’s feet.”
“Oh…… Oh my…… I’ll do my best…… Because I’ll try…… “Don’t be angry.”
“I hate swearing without helping, so give me the Danmok Palace. “I will coordinate everything, starting with the protests.”
“Do you know how to do it?”
“You bastard, I’m the only one here at the Velaste level!”
I entrusted it to you. She adjusted it perfectly, but it was much tighter than my usual kite tension, so I put her bowstring back on.
“What are you doing?”
“Because we have to adjust it the way we always do.”
“Your Highness…… “I like it better when my brother does it.”
“Oppa?”
“Don’t keep saying things, I’m about to take a test, but if you’re scared, you’ll do worse.”
“That’s right…… “Oppa, I’m already completely discouraged.”
“Hey, do something above average?”
“Give me yours too.”
“My adjustments are perfect, so don’t worry about it and just do yours.”
“It’s unfair to only look at Kite.”
When I told her to give it to me, she kicked the wooden bow with her foot and gave it to me. Her status as an active person or protester is certain. However, there is incontinence in the bow. What is this? This is what happens if you fire over a hundred shots a day. I’m already used to it and can’t use anything else.
“What if it breaks?”
“I even took care of the medication.”
You must have done well. They are thorough in this regard, so there is nothing to worry about. Eventually, the four gathered together, inspected the protective equipment, and then engaged in long-distance shooting. Everyone performed straight and curved swords according to their skills. Heoden’s average is 75 points. Velaste got up to 95 points on this, so it’s true that it’s a place where only monsters gather.
“I knew it would be like this, you idiots.”
“Hey, it’s not me and Kite.”
“What, is a long-distance howitzer better than a short-distance one?”
Kite received 76 points, above the average. I think the long-distance artillery training with me has helped.
“There is a 2 point difference with Colonia.”
“I’m annoyed that I can hear those b*tches laughing all the way up here.”
“Since Mentatorang has a whopping 15 points, it would be difficult to turn the tables.”
Now all that’s left is the driver and shipmaster. Ain convulsed at the bitter taste of defeat. If I go back this time, I will set fire to Heoden. It goes without saying that combat cadets cannot score more than 90 points in long-distance shooting.
“It’s not over yet.”
Chan said dryly.
“Hey, will you shut up before I drag the body to the ground and bury it?”
“It’s possible to turn the tables because there are extra points in the driver and ship driver.”
Chan’s way of speaking had a strange way of making people angry, so I stepped forward.
“All three of us can apply for a driver and boat ride.”
“Oh, damn Heoden. “What am I going to do if I get a perfect score on my own?”
“Your Highness…… Chaney and Demani also get perfect scores…… No, that’s not rebelling.”
“That’s enough.”
After Ain speaks, he quickly meets with the driver. These two judicial disciplines were contested only by seniors.
“Oh my…… Excuse me…… That is.”
As we were about to take the test, Kite grabbed me by twisting her body.
“Why do you want to go to the bathroom?”
“Oppa…… !”
I honestly thought so, but no.
“Jokbal, speak.”
“Me too…… Article…… “I want to try something like that.”
“Are you crazy?”
Ignore it by telling you to understand your topic instead of lowering the average. Kite immediately crumpled, so I looked at Chan’s complexion. As soon as your eyes meet her, she looks away and then gives you that familiar admonishment.
“There is no reason to lower the average because the driver and courier service are in the area of additional points.”
“Oh, the way you talk is so annoying. “When you get out of here, come punch me.”
“I don’t want to lose my strength over such barbaric things?”
“Oh my…… Chaney…… “I think this is your fault.”
─What a great surprise.
“Everyone shut up!”
If Ain wants to do something, do it. Instead, she growls, saying that the embarrassment is yours to handle.
“Kite, don’t overdo it.”
I have never ridden a horse before, so I stopped him, wondering if he was some kind of horseman, and this time Chan came forward again.
“I’m not riding a horse.”
“Corpse, can’t you finish speaking?”
“The knight in the exam uses a wooden horse, not a real horse.”
“Oh…… “Then I can do it too!”
“Kite, you’ve never even ridden a wooden horse, have you?”
“No…… There’s something like that in the room…… “Oppa, I hope you don’t ask me any more questions.”
He lightly pinched my butt and said that if you have any questions, you can ask me separately next time and he will answer. The celestial pole touched the sun and it almost rained.
“Okay, f*ck it, give it a try!”
“Kite, it only takes one hit, so don’t overdo it.”
“Everyone, start by repairing the janggu.”
“Yes…… “Chaney, can you please take a look at this?”
As the four of us were preparing the article, a huge wooden horse was indeed pulled onto the platform. Big. It’s much bigger than a real horse, so it would be difficult to keep the center of gravity if you were to climb up there and shoot from a long distance. I understand why this type of test was created.
“The instability that occurs on horseback is realized through long distances and wooden horses.”
“I never asked about the corpse?”
“I didn’t tell you to listen to the princess.”
“Are you two fighting again?”
“Oh my…… Why do you keep doing this…… “Aang, if you keep fighting, I’m going to cry too.”
“f*ck, just try that?”
“Aang!”
“I don’t want to hear that either.”
“Please, let’s take a test. “All my concentration will be lost.”
After my remarks, everyone prepared their articles. This time, there were not many applicants. I had to read it to mean that I would not risk being embarrassed. Of the total 30 people, 20 took the mentor test. Two of them pointed at me. I raise my head, not knowing what it means, and when he finishes shooting, he shouts.
“93 Points!”
“90 Points!”
Ain snorted instead of me.
“Those bastards, I think they consider you rivals?”
“I have never lost in archery.”
“Your Highness…… “My brother killed a lot of people with arrows!”
Two women except Kite looked at me. He scratched his short hair as if asking if it was true.
“I was in charge of sniping.”
“You used a great bow?”
“Yes, a little over 2m with a leash.”
“I don’t think just anyone can handle that.”
“Chan, have you never written anything?”
“Corpse b*tch, you’re out of it. “Baby, so tell me how many you killed.”
“I don’t know because I didn’t count. Heoden, on the way there, I think I killed about three leaders of the bandits.”
“What is the range?”
“For sniping purposes, around 250m.”
“Crazy bastard.”
“Does this sound like a lie?”
Finally, Chan came out and made eye contact with her. But there was no reason to deny it, so I thought carefully about the number of people I had killed by sniping. I think I’m around seventeen. As I spoke calmly, Ain opened her eyes wide and spoke.
“Yangmul, prove it with your skills.”
