Chapter 36 Meeting Trio Again
Rishi was looking around when he noticed a 22-year-old woman approaching him and other students.
With her long green hair and emerald-like eyes, she walked gracefully. Every student greeted her when they saw her.
She first glanced around, and Rishi caught her eye because he was the only one who looked new to her. This was a class for second-year students.
“Are you a first-year student?” she asked.
“Yes, madam,” Rishi replied.
“Can you tell me what you’re doing in this class?”
“This is an extra class; you should have enrolled in the regular class,” she asked Rishi.
“Mam, my job class is Ranger, and I can use two weapons: a bow and a sword.”
“I’m in the regular sword class, and the Archery class takes place at the same time, so I can’t join the regular archery class,” he explained his situation to her.
“So you’ve decided to take an extra class?” she inquired.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, I didn’t have a choice,” Rishi said apologetically.
“Pay close attention when I instruct other students.”
“I’ll teach you later,” she said.
“OK, ma’am,” Rishi said, stepping back two steps to make room for his seniors.
The professor then began teaching all the students, and Rishi carefully listened to everything.
She was instructing them about how to hit the moving targets more effectively.
After which, she instructed everyone to fire at a moving target. They each tried, one by one, to
demonstrate their archery.”
They all hit the targets, but no one celebrated.
They were all perfect, but they all missed their target in the professor’s eyes.
Rishi carefully examined all the processes and was pleased to see that they had all perfectly hit their targets. They all even got headshots from such a considerable distance.
He was impressed by their archery but perplexed when he noticed them looking down at their feet as if getting ready to be punished.
They all had to hit the eyes of their targets which they all missed.
The professor started punishing them one by one, which scared Rishi immediately.
He didn’t get along well with the teacher. If she is punishing them, then how will she punish him.
The professor then gave them all their tasks and approached Rishi.
“Show me everything you know about archery,” she said as she approached Rishi.
Rishi demonstrated the basics to her one by one before hitting various targets.
From 10 meters to 100 meters, one by one.
He had hit the bullseye on all targets ranging from 10 to 50 meters, after which he began to hit 9 and 8-pointers.
He scored 5 points on his last target 100 meters away.
“Your fundamentals are fine, but you must work harder on your archery.”
“You should also learn about how wind affects your arrows.”
“Your posture is also poor, and you have no idea how to hit a moving target.”𝓝𝒪𝚟𝗲𝓁𝗇𝐄xt.𝑐𝓞𝓂
Rishi was attentive to all of the errors pointed out by the teacher.
His teacher then assigned him to hit a bullseye on the target 100 meters away.
He began practicing archery on his own without complaint.
After a while, the class was over, and Rishi asked the professor some questions and explained all of the difficulties he was having while shooting targets at a greater distance.
Even after the class was over, the professor answered each of his questions one by one. After resolving all his concerns, Rishi went to his room to rest.
He opened the door, approached his bed, and lay down on it for a short rest. He was about to take a power nap when he heard, “Risab, how was your sword class, and why did you arrive so late?”
“It was fun; how about you?” Rishi replied.
“Mine was also enjoyable until my professor asked me to defend a magical beast barehanded,” Lalit responded.
“Didn’t you join Shield Class?”
“Why were you told to fight barehanded?” Manu asked in confusion.
Rishi also looked at Lalit for an answer.
“You won’t believe what he said when a student asked him the same question; he said, what will you do if you don’t have a shield or if your shield breaks,” Lalit explained.
“Seems logical to me,” said Manu.
“Logical, my ass,” Lalit snarled as he rubbed his injured shoulder.
Rishi and Manu laughed at Lalit’s anguish.
Rishi then fell asleep for three hours before waking up. He was prepared because he needed to meet his guild members.
He went to the garden and overheard three men conversing.
“Hello,” he said as he approached them.
“Who is this person?”
“Do you know him, Dev?” Dilip asked.
“No, do you know him, Ajit?” Dev inquired.
“I am Rishi,” Rishi said, realizing he was in disguise.
Dilip circled around him before stopping and smelling him briefly. “You cannot be him.”
“Tell me who you are,” he said as he pulled out his spear and pointed it at Rishi.
“I’m Rishi, idiot; remember, I gave you those valuable fangs,” Rishi replied.
“Why have you disguised yourself?” Ajit inquired.
Rishi looked around and said in a low voice, “Follow me; I’ll explain everything.”
They soon came to a corner, and Rishi explained his predicament to them.
“From now on, call me Risab.”
“Rishab, you could have chosen something better,” Dilip said.
“Like Dilip,” Rishi asked sarcastically as he looked at Dilip.
They all laughed.
“Let’s start looking for more guild members.”
“Find the potential members and send me their information.”
“I’ll decide whether we need them or not,” Rishi said.
He then left them and returned to the academy’s cultivation area. This time, he sat in the Advance section.
He entered it and summoned Sheru to assist him. He began laughing at the magical beasts one by one.
He used his old strategy of assassinating the leader first and then killing other magical beasts when they were unprepared while fighting a herd.
He had reached level 11 and was on the verge of reaching level 13 after fighting for two hours straight when he saw a magical beast.
It stood four meters tall and had long ears and sharp canines. Rishi chose to kill it to level up quickly.
He used mode 2 of his inspect skill, and a status window appeared in front of him.
NAME: Giant Cat
AGE: Adult
ADVANTAGE: High speed, Strong Bite, and powerful senses.
WEAKNESS: lack of defense and low intelligence.
CHARACTERISTICS: This is an aggressive species that attack whenever it sees prey.
STATUS: HEALTHY.
Rishi devised a strategy and informed Sheru of it.
He hid in a bush while wearing his cloak. Sheru charged up to the magical beast and roared at him to get his attention.
Sheru and the magical beast quickly began fighting. While Sheru was focused on defending himself, the wild beast was very aggressive.
They traded moves for a while, and Sheru was slightly injured while the wild beast was slightly tired.
Rishi waited patiently to find the perfect moment and used his ‘Shadow Walk’ skill to approach the wild beast, who was busy fighting Sheru.
He cautiously approached the beast, reappeared from its shadow, and used his ‘Quick Draw’ ability to attack its neck and behead it.
The wild beast sensed danger and attempted to avoid Rishi’s attack, which he only partially succeeded in as he escaped with only a wound on its back.
Sheru also took advantage of the situation, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the magical beast while activating all his skills.
Rishi also unleashed a barrage of sword attacks, leaving no room for the wild beast to flee.
Their fight lasted a while before the wild beast bled out and weakened.
Rishi and his contract beast noticed the change and took care of it.
He then sat down and decided to rest for some time before returning to his experience farming.
