Chapter 213: Test 2
🕑 Added 2024-11-09 12:20:11 +0000 UTC"Of course," Haruto replied with a sigh, slightly annoyed. "Since I’m not using a bow, there are only a few arrows here. Just take what you have. Besides, in a real battle, you wouldn’t have an unlimited supply of arrows, would you? So, try to practice efficiently. Make the best use of what you have."
The girl still looked confused, her eyes glancing at the arrow in her hand—there were only ten of them. She bit her lower lip, a bit hesitant.
"Alright," Haruto continued in a firmer tone, looking at the whole group. "Now, you all have what you need, right? Let’s get started!"
Now, the atmosphere began to change. William, who had been in a hurry, appeared calmer. He glanced at Annie, who promptly signaled him. As soon as he got the cue, William immediately ran towards Haruto.
With his one-handed sword raised, William approached Haruto with a quick but controlled movement. When William was right in front of Haruto, he swung his sword without hesitation, hoping to pressure Haruto.
However, with incredible reflexes, Haruto leaned back, dodging the attack with a movement so swift it was almost invisible. The wind from the passing sword was barely felt.
Then, a teenage boy with a spear quickly appeared behind Haruto, forcing him to dodge to the side. Without wasting time, Haruto jumped away, avoiding the spear tip that was aimed directly at his back.
At the same time, a girl with a knife was on Haruto's right, while a teenage boy with an axe appeared on his left.
Seeing the threats coming from two directions, Haruto quickly blocked the knife attack with the sword in his right hand, while his left hand gripped the axe handle to hold it back.
"What?" Annie exclaimed, surprised that Haruto could react so quickly.
"William!" Annie immediately commanded.
"I understand!" William replied quickly, moving towards Haruto's back, but Haruto didn’t give him an opening. With a swift movement, Haruto spun his body, pulled the axe handle, and yanked the teenage boy towards him. In an instant, Haruto threw the boy towards William.
William quickly realized the danger and tried to dodge, running to the side to avoid the body sliding towards him.
Meanwhile, the girl with the knife, held back by Haruto's sword, attempted to retaliate with a flurry of attacks. Each strike was successfully blocked by Haruto, but he was too focused on the girl, unaware of the threat coming from behind.
Suddenly, Haruto sensed danger approaching, and in a reflexive move, he kicked the girl away. Without wasting time, Haruto threw her towards William and the teenage boy next to him, who was still reeling from Haruto's previous throw.
"Oliv! Are you okay?" William asked with a worried expression, seeing Oliv who had fallen to the ground.
"I'm fine..." Oliv replied weakly, her face looking pale.
"Jae Hyun... Oliv... Harl, let’s do it again." William said firmly, not wanting to lose momentum.
"Sure, let’s do it," Jae Hyun replied calmly, as if unaffected by the urgency of the situation.
"Yes," Oliv nodded, though she still looked a bit shocked.
"Of course," Harl replied with a relaxed nod, as if this were just a regular practice.
Then, with renewed spirit, William moved forward towards Haruto again, followed by Harl, Jae Hyun, and Oliv. They prepared to continue the training, though this time they were more alert.
Haruto, observing the situation, then smiled slightly, but suddenly an arrow shot towards him. With a quick movement, Haruto tilted his head, and only a few strands of his hair were cut by the arrow that passed by so swiftly.
