Life In Another World 15 Invincible A-Ranker

Staring at the platform Kiro and Co were glancing in bewilderment from the old man who is named Kyros.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kyros, I'm Alyva." The quick-witted Alyva said while glancing at the others as a signal indicating to introduce themselves.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Aldin. The other girl is called Alina, while the man behind me is Kiro." He said, giving a quick glance at the two.

Alina and Kiro nod in approval while curiously looking at Old Kyros.

"Mn, okay, you guys have a good name," Kyros said. "Just like what your instructor said, I came here to check if there is a hidden gem that I can nurture, this old man is getting old, I want to find a suitable successor."

Hearing the explanation, Kiro and the others could not help to be stupefied from those words.

They all look at Instructor Ralph asking for more clarification. Seeing the Kiro's group were looking at him intensely, he added more explanation. "As I said earlier you guys are in luck, does the name Kyros don't ring the bell?" He said with an amused tone.

"... Don't tell me... The Invincible ranker Kyros?" Aldin said stupor glancing at the old man in front of him.

"Yup, you are right, my Instructor is 'that' Kyros."

While the other is looking at Kyros admiringly, Kiro was the only one who cannot comprehend what is happening. He doesn't know who this Invincible ranker is, and what it means.

"Ahem, stop calling me that, I'm not Invincible, it is just an empty t.i.tle for this old man," Kyros said while giving a slight cough to mend the atmosphere.

"Well now you who I am, I would like to know if any of you guys were using a bow as the main weapon."

This time the group of three, finally came back to reality, they don't use a bow as the main weapon. While the others became disinherited, Kiro was looking in confusion, he could not help to remember with his high CON it boosted his marksmans.h.i.+p, but Kiro did not have any chance to use a bow, so he hadn't verified it yet.

"I guess you haven't tried using a bow huh, but would you guys give it a try?" Kyros said. "Don't worry I'll be here to teach you guys a proper posture for using the bow and arrow."

"If that is the case, please pick me!" Alyva said with full enthusiasm.

"Okay then, you guys follow me at the archer's ground." After he said that, Kiro and co followed Kyros.

***

In Archer's Training Ground.

Two types of target archery could be found, the most basic one is the thin circular target with a red mark on the middle, a humanoid target with dissimilar sizes of red marks on contrast places.

While the level of difficulty is adjusted by the range of the target. There are three types of level found in the training ground.

The first level is at the 7 yards wide range, the next level is 17 yards apart, the last one at the 27 yards wide range target archery.

"Here we are, please stand at marker line Ms. Alyva,"

"Okay, Mr. Kyros," Alyva said, standing straight on the marker line.

"Mn, now please move your legs shoulder apart, while maintaining your center of gravity," Kyros said as he hands over the basic crude bow and arrow that is inside the wooden crate.

"Yes, Mr. Kyros," Alyva said while holding the crude bow on the handgrip, and placing the arrow inch above the tip of her thumb.

"Hoho, at least Ms. Alyva knows how to hold the bow and arrow, now let me teach you a few tricks." He said. "Please maintain the posture, and try to stretch the bowstring with a straight-up chest."

Following the Instruction. Alyva tried to do what Old Kyros said. While maintaining her balance, straightening up her chest, she stretched the bowstring, making the crude bow bend in a half-moon posture.

Glancing at Alyva posture, Old Kyros could not help to give praise. "Good! Nice posture, now try to aim at the 7 yards target."

Upon hearing Kyros' voice, Alyva tried to aim at the 7 yards wide range target.

'Swoosh'

The arrow flew at the circular wooden target, but she only managed to hit the edge.

"Haa~ I guess I'm not good at using a bow," Alyva said dejectedly.

"Now, Ms. Alyva is doing a great job, your posture is nice, with proper training and dedication, I think you have a potential of using a bow." He said, but deep inside Kyros' disappointment because what he needs is a genius in marksmans.h.i.+p, not a person who is 'Good Enough' to handle the bow and arrow.

"Is that for real Mr. Kyros?" Alyva's dejected feature suddenly disappeared after hearing his praise.

"Do any of you want to give it a try too?" Kyros said with high expectation, he was hoping there was a hidden gem beneath the mud.

This time Kiro's curiosity took his place, he always wanted to try using a archery's bow but given the event yesterday. He did not have a chance to do so.

"Hmm, Mr. Kyros can I give it a try to? But please don't put your hopes up, I never held a bow before." Kiro said while giving him a quick glance.

"Mm, It is alright I am the one who asked you guys to come here after all."

"Okay then." After Kiro said that, he went forward, grabbing a bow and arrow inside the crate.

Kiro moves toward Alyva direction while giving her a slight nod for praise. "I did not know you have some hidden talent inside of you Alyva," Kiro said. "Not at all, It was all thanks to Mr. Kyros' pointers that I can do something like that." She said while stepping aside.

Kiro tried to mimic Alyva's position, widening his leg with a shoulder-length, maintaining his straight posture, grabbing the crude bow using his left hand while putting the arrow inch above his thumb.

He tried to mimic what he heard in his former world, stabilizing his breathing, as he stretched the arrow and string bending the crude bow with a perfect half-moon shape.

'Swoosh'

The arrow flew at the target, but this time it hit on the mark. Looking at the scene Kyros' eye glittered in excitement, but before he could say a thing.

'Crack!'

A crispy sound of a broken wood echoed inside the training ground. The arrow that supposedly stops after hitting Its target, pierce through the circular wooden target.

"Hehehe... How is it Mr. Kyros? I'm sorry I can't control my strength. I didn't know the arrow would pa.s.s through the target." Kiro said while looking at the crude wooden bow on his hands, impending to crumble.

"... Young man, you indeed have the strength and marksmans.h.i.+p to be Archer, but wait you might give us more surprise, can you hit another target this time the 17 yards one." Kyros said with full of antic.i.p.ation.

"But... The bow is about to collapse Mr. Kyros." Kiro said bitterly, he did not expect after following a piece of simple advice like that will lead to this.

『Ting!~』

-New Skill Learned.

『The User learned a Basic Archery Skill!』

-New Combat Skill will be added to the section.

-Skill [Basic Archery] Lv.1

A sound of notification echoed inside Kiro's head.

"Congratulations Master! You finally learned a combat skill! Fixie is happy for Master!" This time Fixie's childish voice could be heard.

"What? I learned a new skill just like that?" Kiro mumbles

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Kyros said looking at the confused Kiro.

"It is nothing, Alyva can you lend me that bow and get me a single arrow?" Kiro said, glancing at her. "Okay, here hold this," Alyva said while heading toward the crate to get a single arrow giving it to Kiro.

With a new arrow on hand, Kiro tried to repeat what he did earlier, but this time he suddenly felt it was easier to aim unlike before, It felt like he was using a bow for years.

Taking an aim, Kiro stretched the string releasing the arrow at the 17 yards wide range target.

'Swoos.h.!.+'

This time Kiro's aim is much sharper than before, the arrowhead hits the mark. Piercing through the back of the circular wooden target all the way through, flying 1 more yard before the arrow finally died down.

"... What?" Kiro looked at the scene In front of him. He could not believe what he saw.

"Hahahaha! Good! I finally found you!" This time Old Kyros maniacally laughs.
