Chapter 89 Advance Version Of 'Whirling Arrow' Skill
Rishi accompanied Nina to the canteen for lunch; she refused to accompany him, but he persuaded her. They ate their lunch and then went to train in the training hall, where other guild members were also present.
"Everyone, a new member will join our guild," Rishi said as he entered and saw everyone busy with their training.
"I never agreed," Nina grumbled.
"You can agree later," Rishi said.
Everyone turned with a puzzled expressions. Nina was already known to Manu and Lalit, so they welcomed her, especially Lalit, who said, "Nina, you are a swordsman. Do you know what a swordsman requires the most?"
"What?" Nina asked.
"A shield that can protect a swordsman, I will be your shield, and together we will be invincible," Lalit said as he sat on one knee with a giant sword in both hands.
"I, too, am a swordsman, Lalit Bro; you've never been so eager to fight with me," Rishi said.
"As a person with values and duties, I never wanted to become the shield of a half-assed swordsman, I've always known I didn't deserve you, and one day there would be swordsmen who needed to be protected," Lalit said to Nina. Everyone laughed at his performance.
When Rishi saw Lalit's simping, he felt a slight pain in his heart and thought, 'I was raising a snake.'
'Enough talking; now come one by one and write on the board your goals for today's training," Dev said. Everyone obeyed his command and wrote down their objectives for the day; Rishi wrote that he intended to learn 'Sword Dash,' and Nina also wrote something similar.
Only four training dummies were in the hall, so Rishi and Nina divided two each and began practicing this sword technique. Rishi first practiced by sprinting toward a target six meters away. Rishi took some time to master the perfect dash, and then he began practicing hitting the dummy while in motion.
Nina possessed exceptional swordsmanship skills, but this technique suited her perfectly, allowing her to learn it quickly. Nina had already mastered this skill when Rishi began learning how to attack an enemy in motion. She was now attempting to improve her accuracy while chaining from one dummy to the next.
This type of training was complex because it depleted mana quickly. Still, Rishi had arranged for training potions that were both cheaper and more beneficial, so she continued training while taking short breaks to catch her breath and regenerate her mana.
Rishi followed the same training regimen as Nina, except that he meditated in between to clear his mind and improve his concentration. He was also attempting to concentrate on how he could improve even more. This was a difficult technique to master, but once mastered, it was a powerful technique with few counterplays.
The best thing about this skill was that it was good for fighting a single opponent but stronger when fighting multiple opponents because there was a limit to its usage when used against a single opponent. Still, you could always chain from one opponent to another when fighting multiple opponents.
The time went by quickly; Rishi said goodbye to everyone in the guild and decided to leave early for his next class. He began walking towards the archery field and soon arrived. He took out his bow and began practicing archery; he had made significant progress since the beginning but was still dissatisfied.
He also wanted the Professor to teach him new skills because he only knew one and had to rely on it throughout the tournament; he could have done better as an archer if he had more knowledge.
Mam arrived a little early and was not surprised to see Rishi; she said, "Congratulations! You were victorious in the guild tournament; how are you feeling right now?"
"Very bad; I could have performed better if I had mastered more skills. If the top guilds had competed, our guild would have struggled even to make it into even top five," Rishi responded.
"So you know, it's good that you are not overconfident about winning this competition, but you performed great for someone who only knew one skill. You used that same skill so many times throughout the tournament that even some archery teachers complimented you," Professor said.
"When I saw your fight, I honestly laughed. You attempted to fight with only one skill, but I began to feel sorry for you when your skill became useless against stronger opponents. If I had taught you the advanced version of your 'Whirling Arrow' skill, you would have easily sniped your opponents, even when they used their barrier skill," she said.
"As you entertained my friends and me, they gave me some of their skill books as they saw how talented you are, and also feel bad because you can't become part of the Archery Club. We are also excited to see your future performances," she added.
"Let's begin with the advanced version of the high-level 'whirling arrow' skill, We don't usually teach it to first-year students because mastering even a mid-level skill is difficult for new students, but I have faith in you; this skill can't be cast while using a regular arrow. It requires special arrows to be used."
"At your current level, only special arrows made of mana-conducting material can allow you to use it; however, once you reach a higher stage and have learned 'Aura,' you will be able to perform it using a normal arrow. Some advanced archers don't even need an arrow; they can create one with mana."l
"For now, let's stick to the topic; the advanced version of the 'whirling arrow' known as the 'Spiral Arrow.' Let me show you how we use it," she said as she took out a bow and arrow and aimed the armored training dummy.
Then she focused her mana on her arrow and used the 'Spiral Arrow' skill, and the arrow began to glow a little blue due to the mana that entered the arrow through her hand.
She waited two seconds, during which a 'spiral' pattern appeared on the arrow, and the arrow began spinning even before she released it.
She pulled the arrow back a little before releasing it; the arrow made a 'shoo' sound and reached the training dummy in the blink of an eye.
