VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

The training halls and practice areas were divided into many sections in the Archer hall.

There were indoor ones and there were outdoor ones that were in the open area that was used by many of the archery practitioners.

For safety's sake, it was divided into many parts and there were a lot of people practicing there all the time.

Elio and his group had also just got into one of the training areas outside of the hall, in the backyard area that was pretty empty right now.

They were people but the place that they just got to was separated by the barriers that the mages who also live in this town had created.

They were special barriers so the arrows did not cross them but if one wanted, they could go through these barriers with proper authority.

But for that they needed proper authority and that was only something that they could get from someone that was in a high position in the association or the hall.

"Get ready…"

Unlike the modern archery that they do in the real world, the archery of this game was not that complicated of a thing.

There were a few things that one needed to look after for their safety.

There was a shoulder-chest guard, gloves, arm guard, and the other equipment were part of the armors that they use.

"I'm ready."

"Are you now?"

They did not need long to get into the equipment that they needed for this competition that they were going to9 have now.

Continue your journey on empire

They just needed a few things and they got those few things for the practice for free in the hall.

They were now holding a bow and a quiver full of arrows.

"Let's finish this quickly now." Elio was sighing as he looked at her excited smile.

He did not like how she set him up like this.

He could have declined her request had Misha not been there but before that little girl who wanted to see his mediocre skills, he could not help but give in to this obvious trap.

"Hehe, then, what will it be~?"

"What? You wanted to have the competition! You should be the one deciding how we are going to do it!"

Alex was a sword wielder and she had learned sword handling in the real world as well.

She was good at many of the traditional as well as newer sword forms and she was even able to do things that people did not usually do in the real world.

He knew her the best so he knew she was amazing already, but when it comes to other kinds of sports especially Archery that she was not that good at, both of them knew who was better at those things between them.

"Oh? Hahaha! I thought you would want to set the terms since I suggested this~! Well, I don't really mind it~."

She was fine with this anyway. It would give her a better chance to see some more of him.

"Haaa…"

"Then~! How about we do moving target shooting~? The one with more points wins."

"Sure… whatever you want."

He was tired of her new side already… Well, he found it fun, but she was not the same serious, stoic and calm girl anymore.

She was more cheerful, noisy, and annoying for some reason.

Every chance she got, she bullied him. Every chance she got, she did things that he obviously did not like, every chance she got… she did things that she usually did not.

He was fine with it for most parts, having the strength to endure this complicated girl was one of the reasons he was still able to stay this close to her.

But this kind of trick was one thing he did not like.

"Alright! Let's start right away~!"

There was a special device that systematically sent out certain light balls that they needed to pierce with their arrows to get the points in this kind of training.

The archers used this device to increase their shooting time and to get more familiar with the moving targets and, though difficult, this was a very useful device for many of the archers who wanted to be on the field in the battles and not in the back.

"Miss~? Can you set the disk device?"

"Yeah. Right away."

The receptionist was still with them after she had passed the letter on to someone else since, well, a letter like that was beyond even her authority.

She was a normal worker so she was with them right now, looking after them all as per the orders of her superiors.

And, since they wanted to practice, she just needed to do what they wanted her to do.

"On your marks."

"Mommy! They are starting!"

"Yes, dear. Watch them carefully…"

"Miu!"

"Muuuu~!"

"Chirp!"

They were unique individuals.

One was very good with swords, while the other was quite proficient with magic already even though he had only recently started learning it.

Thai was going to be her first time seeing them use the bows and arrows, but she had a feeling that they were going to see something that was definitely beyond the level of a beginner.

They were foreigners, so when it comes to skills that weren't specifically limited to this world, things like magic and the various magical arts, then they were much better than the natives of this world like them.

"Prepare the bows!"

They got into their positions. Fifteen wooden arrows in their quiver were still like the still waters of a dead lake…

There was a sharp look in their eyes.

A competitive spirit was oozing out of them, and the rest looking at them could tell this little competition was much more than just a fun activity to pass their time.

Even the employee knew that the two of them were not archers, and yet, the aura that they were exuding as they locked their eyes to the open sky, was nothing less than the aura of the seasoned archers.

Even their stance, the bows in their hands, and the arrows on those bows had their uniqueness.

"Start!"

-Paaaaaam!

-Swish!

The rest of them were going to see them using a long ranged weapon for the first time, but they were going to be fascinated soon now…
