Episode 108. When I looked at the area where the sound came from again in a straight line from the rotation, I saw that it was none other than the
heart
.
“stain!”
Han Yi-bi realized that this unlucky guy named Ban Bang-geun was actually a great expert in secret martial arts.
Ban Fang-geun shrugged his shoulders and said.
“There is nothing difficult about this.”
At the same time as those words were said, rain started to fly again. To my
great
surprise, the blade pierced the doll’s head again.
Or, to be more precise, where a person’s ‘right eye’ should be.
If that’s what you’re aiming for, it’s safe to say that the control is almost perfect.
“stain!”
Ban Bang-geun said while shouting the score while smiling at him.
“ruler. There will be no need to throw anymore. Right? “I’ve already completed all 15 points.”
Then, the young disciple of Sichuan Tangmun seemed a little embarrassed, but said that he thought there was no reason to refuse.
“That’s right.”
Then he said it loudly.
“Kunlun faction passes through Banfang area!”
Ban Bang-geun turned and said to Han Yi-bi.
“Then try your best. “I will step down first.”
Wow. That unlucky bastard.
But that was it… It was time for Han Ibi to find a way to survive.
He stood as close to the line as possible and prepared to throw his arrow.
Han Ibi took a deep breath once again and activated ‘Vigilance’ in the status window.
The cross-shaped aiming line came into view.
Horizontal and vertical lines were seen shaking non-periodically.
Getting this timing right is the key to the magician’s secret technique.
That was the essence of the intensive training that continued for several days.
[You must aim for 5 points. A score of 1 is useless.]
Meanwhile, Han Ibi focused all her attention on the doll’s head.
And then….
In a flash,
Han Ibi’s rain path split the space.
But…
it just kept dividing the space.
“Ahh!”
Han Ibi screamed, unconsciously covering her head with both hands.
I was so nervous that I ended up missing the timing of my aim.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
It was the sound of laughter from Ban Fang-Jin of the Kunlun faction, who stood back and watched this scene.
“Zhongli Little Colony. Did you feel compassion for the doll? “How can you waste a dagger like that?”
I’m crying.
Han Ibi was so embarrassed that she wanted to rush over and grab her by the collar and shake her.
But…
what difference will it make if I vent my anger like that? I’d be lucky if I didn’t get kicked out…
Han Ibi loosened her fingers and took another deep breath.
Then, I concentrated my entire attention on the movement of the aiming line.
The moment when a horizontal line and a vertical line meet is a split second.
Capturing that fleeting moment.
Hissing,
Han Ibi’s raincoat slipped through the space again.
Deep.
‘Hwiyu!’
Han Ibi breathed a sigh of relief.
“stain!”
This time, he finally succeeded in hitting Bido on the head.
Well, it’s a bit biased towards the left ear… but anyway, success is success.
Then Ban Bang-geun also looked at Han Ibi with an amused expression.
“Ohh. Zhongli Small Colony. Quite a bit. “I guess I got a little lucky.”
Han Ibi took another deep breath and took out the next bido.
The bido provided by the Murim League was slightly different from the bido given as a gift by Cha Du-haeng in terms of weight and grip.
He regretted not being able to practice sufficiently with his new video.
After all, pride is the biggest obstacle to success…
I decided to make the second and third releases a little safer.
It was decided to target the lower body, which can be said to have the largest area.
The reason 3 points are given for leg hits is because this attack can actually cause the opponent to lose mobility.
So, even though it was a practice situation, it could be said that it was a scoring system that reflected quite realism.
Han Ibi stopped breathing and quickly launched her sword towards the bridge.
There was a bead stuck in the right ankle of
the Pook doll.
Ban Fang Geun quietly clapped his hands and said.
“That’s great. “Why are you aiming for a difficult ankle!”
‘Actually, I was aiming for the thighs, but…’
This time, I was shaken again.
As expected, it is not easy as it is a fleeting fight.
Han Ibi took another deep breath and decided that this time she would hit her thighs.
The blade flew away with a ‘hiss’ sound.
Suddenly
, the training ground fell silent for a moment.
What followed was a burst of laughter.
“Puhaha!”
Laughter, led by his laughter, could be heard from all over the place.
Some of the female teachers who watched the scene blushed.
The young disciple of Sichuan Tang School, who was grading the scores, also seemed quite embarrassed.
Yes.
This is because the meatus, which was aimed at the thigh, struck the ‘center’ of the man, which is the most important part of the human body.
Ban Fang-geun, still smiling heartily, asked the disciple of Sichuan Tangmun.
“What should I do in cases like this?”
The disciple of Sichuan Tangmun thought for a moment and then rushed towards Tang Xiaofei.
Then he quickly returned to his original position and shouted.
“three!”
Ban Bang Geun said.
“no! Three points. “Isn’t this… something that deserves to be tainted?”
Then all the young people around burst into laughter, saying ‘wahaha’.
“exactly. “I think I should give you a ten instead of a five.”
“You are truly a sharpshooter!”
Han Ibi was so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole.
Still, I had to focus my attention on the last shot.
The current score is 11 points.
You had to hit the head or the heart.
You must utilize every moment with a clear mind.
That subtle point where the rotational movement of the arm changes into a straight movement of the nasal passages.
Accurately capturing that point of action.
That is my secret magic!
Han Ibi took a deep breath and momentarily stopped breathing.
The rain just blows away.
Sigh!
Han Ibi clenched her fists.
His nasal passages were stuck in the doll’s head.
It is finally a success.
The voice of a disciple of Sacheondangmun is heard.
“Cheongseongpa Zhonglimae passes!”
Ban Bang-Geun said with an expression that said he was quite satisfied.
“Oh oh. Zhongli Small Colony. “That’s amazing.”
Han Ibi replied, wriggling her eyebrows.
“Why don’t you just act like a small-scale cooperative?”
“aha. You are being too humble. “Then I’ll see you later.”
Han Yi-bi glared disapprovingly at Ban Fang-geun’s back as he walked away.
* * *
After all, they say actual combat is the best practice.
Han Ibi felt that her knowledge of esoteric magic had grown further.
‘good. ‘Don’t be greedy and just keep going like this.’
Unfortunately, Jong Ri-hyuk was eliminated in the first round.
Even if you’re the main character, you can’t be perfect in every aspect.
However, among the twelve, people I knew also caught my eye one after another.
This is Kwak Won-hoe.
As a former soldier of the imperial palace, he showed excellent archery skills and passed the first round without difficulty.
And So Eun-ri…
She also easily surpassed the first round by showing off unexpected archery skills.
‘At that level, it doesn’t seem like it was just a hobby…’
The students who had already failed were now at ease and watching the young people competing.
This is probably because competitions always arouse interest, regardless of era or country.
And now the second test has begun.
Heo Son-dam was standing in front of him, and in his hand was something similar to a ball the size of a child’s head.
It looked like it was made of cloth and stuffed with straw-like material.
Perhaps it is a ‘moving target’.
Hersondam said.
“It would be much more efficient to demonstrate rather than explain a hundred times.”
Then, he whizzes the target and throws it into the air.
There were two people moving quickly at the same time.
It was Danghyobi of Sacheondangmun and Namcheongbong of Hwangryongdang of the Imperial Army.
Their movements could be said to be almost simultaneous.
Can we say that the difference is that Tang Xiaobi is a little closer and Hwangryongdang is a little further away? With a
whistling
sound of the wind cutting through the air, the flying target suddenly stopped in the air and fell to the ground.
This is because Tang Hyobi, Amgi, and Namcheongbong’s arrows hit the target at the same time, canceling out its movement.
It’s a scene so beautiful that it literally makes one’s tongue roll.
The students forgot about the situation for a moment and cheered and applauded.
Hersondam said.
“Well, there’s no need for further explanation, right?”
Twelve students answered in unison.
“yes. “Chief.”
“Then, we will take the second test with six people each. There will be five targets per person. And based on the order of most correct answers, only half of them will qualify for the final exam through relative evaluation.”
Han Ibi spoke to So Eun Ri, who was a few steps away.
“So Sojeo. “I wish you good luck.”
So Eun-ri simply nodded her head calmly.
But she was equally nervous.
The young people who had already been eliminated were sitting down under the shade of a tree and watching the game leisurely.
Among them was Yeo Nanju. She waved her hand loudly and pretended to know.
“Dear Qingcheng Sect disciples! cheer up!”
Ugh. Why is shame always yours?
Han Ibi tried to ignore her cheering and sat down to take the test.
As in the first test, young Taoists from the forward faction were selected at an interval of about three chapters and prepared to throw targets.
Han Ibi concentrated her attention and activated her secret magic.
The crosshairs of the example were also trembling slightly as if they were anxious.
And finally, a rising target.
The limitation of this test was that there was not enough time to concentrate.
Han Ibi fired Bido while predicting the movement of the moving target.
However…
his prayer missed the target by a long time.
‘Damn it. ‘This is a lot harder than you think.’
Han Ibi was embarrassed, but gathered herself together again and took out the second bido.
The progress agent, a disciple of the Jeonjin faction, calmly fired the second target again.
Han Ibi threw the rain again.
Rain getting closer to the target.
But this time too, Bido narrowly missed the target.
So now Han Ibi couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Now there are only three daggers left.
Han Ibi looked around at the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, I saw many people who were in a similar situation.
Hitting a moving target was much more difficult than hitting a stationary target.
However, Dang Baek-mun, Kwak Won-hoe, and So Eun-ri were still shooting at a hundred moving targets.
‘If it continues like this, it will fall… I have to find a way… a way.’
Han Ibi raised her hand towards the Jeon Jeon Sect disciple and asked him to stop for a moment.
He thought again and again, wiping away the cold sweat with his sleeve. Then a thought occurred to me.
‘yes. The follow-up method of Nangansul. It would be a little better if we utilized that.’
As soon as Han Yi-bi finished thinking, she activated her tracking method and set her sights on a moving target.
A disciple of the Jeon Jin Sect asked.
“Are you ready?”
“yes. Please begin.”
The young disciple of the Zhen Zhen Sect stretched out his hand again and struck the target.
The trajectory of the target began to be analyzed according to the operation method of the tracking method.
This had a much greater advantage over guessing with the mind.
And finally….
With a ‘pop’ sound, the target was seen flying far away after being hit by the rain sword.
Han Ibi screamed in joy.
The disciple of the Jeonjin faction also looked somewhat surprised.
He fired two more moving targets, and Han Ibi was able to barely hit them and blow them away thanks to a combination of follow-up eye technique and secret magic.
‘Phew! Now I’ve done everything I can. ‘I just leave the rest to heaven.’
Finally, after all the students had their turn, Dang Hyo-bi walked out and began to announce the results.
First, Sacheondangmun’s Dangbaekmun, which hit all five moving targets. The name of Kunlun Sect Ban Fang-geun Hwangryong Party Guo Won-hoe was called.
They could truly be said to be the sharpest of sharpshooters.
The next passers-by were those who hit four targets: Namgung Woo-hee of the Namgung family and So Eun-ri of the Cheongseong faction.
Many people seemed surprised by the prowess of these two women.
And finally…
“There is now one person left. The last person to pass the second test is… Zhonglimei Xiaoxiao of the Qingcheng Sect, who hit three targets.”
All the young people looked surprised, and Han Ibi clenched her fists.
