The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world episode 21

The eyes of the people surrounding the archery training ground were filled with interest.

The Hunter Center, which had been boring with no special incidents or accidents lately, has finally had a fun event.

“Hey, who do you think will win?”

“What are you talking about? Of course it’s Titan.”

“But that guy from the Justice Guild was pretty famous at one point. He was a promising prospect or something.”

The hunters who came over from the 3rd training ground were whispering.

“When did that happen? You said you had S-class potential or something, but you ended up being a C-class. That Titan is a B-class.”

“I see.”

“I don’t see it that way.”

Someone interrupted the conversation between the two people.

“Oh, Yang Hwa-yeon, it’s been a while.”

It was Yang Hwa-yeon, the leader of the Magma Guild.

She was a class A fire magician, and her personality was clear and distinct, making her one of the hunters with a good reputation.

“But what are you talking about? It doesn’t look like that. Isn’t this match where Titan wins?”

“Well, if you just look at the grades, that’s true.”

Yang Hwa-yeon looked at Lee Yu-chan while sweeping her hair back.

“Hunters aren’t just about ranks, right? For example, their original archery skills.”

At the same time, Lee Yu-chan’s hand released the bowstring.

puck!

Everyone’s attention was focused on the screen, which was enlarged with a heavy sound.

[ 10 points ]

“Look. That little kid, ever since he was a boy, he’s been known to be incredibly good at shooting a bow.”

The attitudes of the hunters around her also changed cautiously at Yang Hwa-yeon’s words.

If Yang Hwa-yeon, who is stingy with compliments, can say something like that, then this could really be a match worth watching.

Soon, Lee Yeon-gu of the Titan Guild shot an arrow.

puck!

Likewise, the impact was solid and nice, but the arrow landed slightly off-center.

[ 9 points ]

Although each had only just fired their first shot, the atmosphere in the room had changed.

When the news came that the First Guild of Justice was coming to the training grounds to compete against another guild, the faces of those who had come looking for some light entertainment became serious.

The Titan Guild, which is a new guild that is starting to gradually increase its stock, and the Justice Guild, which was everyone’s punching bag.

However, expectations gradually grew that the match between the two guilds would not be a frivolous cold game.

[ Player 1 Lee Yu-chan, please prepare for the second shot. ]

Lee Yu-chan shot an arrow.

But this time, unlike the first time, I took full advantage of the time given and aimed carefully.

Whoosh!

The score appeared on the screen along with a sharp sound that cut through the air.

[ 9 points ]

The result was that my fingertips shook slightly when I finally let go of the protest.

I still thought it would settle within the 10 point range.

Yuchan raised his head and felt the wind change direction.

To make the training environment as realistic as possible, the archery training room was filled with wind.

Changing direction and intensity without any indication or warning, just like in real life.

Next to me, I heard Lee Yeon-gu clicking his tongue softly.

The expression was that the changing wind was annoying.

Maybe that’s why.

[ 8 points ]

The arrow of this study has moved further away from the center.

However, Yuchan tried not to pay attention to his opponent’s mistakes.

The most important thing when handling a bow and arrow is a steady mind.

[ Prepare for the third shot . ]

It didn’t take long for Yuchan’s third arrow to leave the protest.

Everything from applying the trigger, pulling it, and releasing it in a parabolic arc was a smooth, natural sliding release.

However, the score of the arrow, which was precariously between 10 and 9 points due to the wind direction changing again in the middle, was determined by the training system.

[ 9 points ]

“iced coffee.”

“That’s too bad.”

A sigh came from the hunters watching outside the stadium.

Because it was a disappointing decision no matter who you were rooting for.

And the Titan Guild’s complexion soon darkened.

[ 8 points ]

This was because Lee Yeon-gu, who shot the bow afterwards, was unable to recover his previous low score.

His face was not as good as that of other Titan Guild members.

Ranks are absolute among hunters.

Unless you are reawakened by a lightning strike, your rank will not change.

But the kid next to him was trying to beat him, ignoring the rank.

‘I don’t even know the topic.’

The researcher activated the skill with a mean smile.

[ Skill ‘100% Hit’ is activated. ]

The usage time was short, and it was a bit humiliating to use the skill against a C-rank.

There was no promise to not use skills in the match.

[ Start set 2 . ]

[ Please change the shooting order. Player 2 Lee Yeon-gu, please prepare for the fourth shot. ]

As the set changed, it was his turn to be selected.

Unlike a moment ago, Lee Yeon-gu fired the arrow with a confident expression.

[ 10 points ]

also.

After checking his own score, Lee Yeon-gu looked at the guild members through the glass window.

Fortunately, when we got 10 points, everyone seemed to have a smile on their face again.

And Lee Yu-chan was shaken.

[ 8 points ]

I already knew that the opponent next to me had started using a skill.

So, Yoochan also tried to activate the skill without hesitation.

But what came back was always the same rejection of the system.

[ Skill ‘Accuracy’ cannot be activated. ]

[ Please remove skill restrictions . ]

‘Shit, how do you do that!’

But the system had no answer.

They just keep repeating that there are restrictions, but they don’t tell you how to get around them.

In the meantime, Lee Yeon-gu took another shot.

[ 9 points ]

There was no problem using the skill, but this time it was due to the sudden change in wind.

Although it is a bit disappointing, this research did not lose its composure.

This was because the scores showed that Lee Yu-chan was starting to waver more.

[ 7 points ]

“Then that’s right.”

This is the difference in grades.

The current scores after shooting a total of 5 shots are 43 points for Lee Yu-chan and 44 points for Lee Yeon-gu.

Despite a poor performance in the first set, they managed to turn things around, so if they can keep this momentum going, there will be no problem.

That was the judgment of Lee Yeon-gu, who shot the sixth arrow.

[ 9 points ]

Although it wasn’t 10 points, Lee Yeon-gu, who had already predicted his own victory, just shrugged his shoulders.

In contrast, the time it took for Lee Yu-chan to release the bowstring was getting longer and longer.

It was because I had a lot on my mind.

‘The wind has picked up, so adjust the direction to the northeast, so that it is like this.’

[ 8 points ]

I got a little closer to the center of the target.

Lee Yu-chan’s keen senses, which had been dulled by the frustration of not being able to use skills, began to revive.

[ Set 2 has ended ]

[Lee Yu-chan 51 points, Lee Yeon-gu 53 points.]

[ Let’s start set 3 right away. ]

[ A total of 4 shooting opportunities are given in 3 sets. ]

[Lee Yu-chan’s first move]

Before lifting his bow, Yuchan instinctively looked for Yueul.

A person who was born on the same day, at the same time, and went through the same things, but is stronger than you.

My other half, whom I hate when I compare myself to her, but I also respect her.

Lee Yu-eul was nervous at the same time, but as always, she was watching him with unwavering eyes.

[The skill ‘Accuracy’ restriction is weakened.]

Even though the system told him to, Yuchan only focused on the target in the distance.

The opponent next to me, the dozens of eyes outside, and even the reason all disappeared from my mind.

I let go of the hand that had been pulling the string, feeling the wind on my hair and skin.

[ 10 points ]

“ha.”

Yuchan let out a long breath he had been holding.

The thrilling sensation that had brushed my fingertips when I released the bowstring a moment ago still remained.

‘What is this feeling?’

I’ve shot thousands of arrows, but this is the first time I’ve felt this way.

Now it was Lee Yeon-gu who became anxious again.

The skill’s usage time was almost over.

It was all because the Justice Guild guys were wasting their time on every shoot.

[ 9 points ]

Fortunately, the arrow shot just before the skill’s effect disappeared landed at 9 points.

But this study led to despair.

[The activation time for the skill ‘100% Hit’ has ended.]

‘What do we do now?’

Without skill, it was obvious that the same pattern as set 1 would be repeated.

Finally, Lee Yeon-gu opened his mouth.

“You’re a bit stingy with an orphan topic?”

However, there was no desired reaction from Lee Yu-chan.

He just looked at the tip of his right hand with a slightly blank expression.

‘This doesn’t work either?’

It was a well-known fact to the entire nation that the parents of Lee Yu-chan and Lee Yu-eul were the twins’ Achilles’ heels.

Especially, whenever his parents were mentioned, Lee Yu-chan would lose his composure and get angry.

He just quietly prepared for his next shot.

puck!

[ 9 points ]

Although it was judged as a 9, it was a 9 that was very close to the 10 point mark.

Meanwhile, Lee Yeon-gu, who had been catching his breath and shooting with great difficulty, only scored 8 points, the same as before.

The audience was in an uproar.

This was because, with one last step remaining, Lee Yu-chan and Lee Yeon-gu’s scores were tied at 70 points.

[ According to the rules, Player 1 Lee Yu-chan maintains the lead. ]

[ Prepare for the final shot . ]

As the entire training ground became as quiet as a mouse, Lee Yu-chan pulled the last arrow.
