Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

207 – Joint Evaluation (Complete)⚝

Now that Kite was missing, Ain and I had to turn the tables. Born and Chan combined for less than 130 points. Even at a rough estimate, the average is a little over 60. Although it is an area of extra points anyway, the gap between Mentator and Heoden is clear.

“Just trust me, you bastards.”

Ain shouted loudly and pointed at me.

“Oh, leave out the sheep water!”

He runs to the shooting station and takes out a hair tie from his pocket. Putting it in her mouth, she straightens her lush hair and ties it into a neat ponytail ponytail. Her mentor, her cadets, could feel her eyes on her.

“Children, what are you looking at?”

He laughs with her provocative eyes and immediately jumps on her horse. Unlike before, it takes some time to prepare. First, turn her waist from side to side, rub her thighs, and then place her feet in the stirrups. Since your goal is to get a perfect score, you can’t help but be nervous. Even if you miss two shots, you can lose.

“Begin.”

Only when the main examiner has run out of words is the arrow finally attached to the string. After aiming for a while, he fires one shot. It deviated from the center circle of the target, but was within the boundary line. It felt somehow dangerous.

─I don’t think you’re familiar with Baesa?

It wasn’t said out loud, but everything from the shooting stance to the arrow’s trajectory is subtle.

“I feel anxious.”

Chan also said something.

“Isn’t it okay if I hit the mark?”

Born doesn’t seem to have the insight to distinguish between those things yet. Soon, another arrow was fired and pierced the central circle. She hit the mark, but it seems she wasn’t where she wanted to be. She was happy that those who knew nothing had hit the dead center. The Colonia side is quiet, but the Mentator side is loud. It is visible to those with skills.

“It’s so noisy it’s killing me.”

Ain wiped off his sweat and shot her twice in succession. It’s a hit. Grinning――He looks at us with a confident smile.

“Did you see it?”

Cheering finally erupted from Heoden’s audience.

“As expected of a princess!”

“Show your royal pride!!”

Then, everything from Colonia to Mentator became an uproar.

“They say he’s royalty!”

“It must be a joke, right?”

“You live with such swear words, there’s no way you’re royalty!”

“Where in the world would a princess be insulted by her classmates by calling her a bastard?”

It seems that the cursing princess that we are familiar with was completely unacceptable to them.

“You’re talking so much nonsense.”

Ain tied an arrow and shot it right away. At that moment, my intuition spoke. That misses the mark.

“Five-fold!”

─No, it was real.

I was lucky enough to hit the target. Ein was excited, and she immediately took her shooting stance. Judging by the fact that she is in a hurry, it appears that she is trying to make up for her previous mistake. He fired right away before I could shout to stop him. Piwoong──The sound is only cheerful, but the line is a mess. There was no need to see the results.

“Live!”

─What is the score?

Even if you guess everything else correctly, you get 83 points. For a moment, Heoden’s audience became quiet. Ain, too, probably didn’t know that he was going astray, so he bites his teeth. Born and Chan also looked up at the envoy in silence. The only one who can overcome the burden of debt is yourself.

“Demana…… Are we losing?”

Kite asked, spitting out arrows. It’s a sad expression. I tried to win even though I looked embarrassed, so it would be disappointing if I lost like this. No matter what I said, I felt like it would be a burden, so I just said let’s cheer together.

“You can guess everything from now on, right?”

She called her name to make us turn around.

“Ain!”

The examiners noticed, so I only said this with my eyes.

─I still have 83 points. Just stay calm and keep shooting.

I don’t know how much of this was communicated, but since we are like-minded people, I’m sure half of it was understood. Ain released his grip and laughed. I don’t know what it means, but it’s clear that at least the tension has eased.

“You funny bastard.”

Then he turned her shoulder and shot the arrow much more slowly than before.

“Hit!”

Maintain a cautious tempo without increasing the speed.

“Hit!”

“Hit!”

“Hit!”

When the rest were answered correctly, Heoden’s cadets finally cheered. The women began to openly provoke Colonia. When the examiners murmured, saying, “There is only one of you, but there are four of us,” The examiners pulled out their arrows and gathered in the exact center.

“There is a problem with misplaced arrows.”

The deputy examiner declared to the audience. He said that the arrowhead was not stuck on the outside of the target, but because the arrow was attached to the target, it was real. Ain, who lost three points in an instant, came down from her horse and let out a scream of her own.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

From noble mtl dot com

“The cadet must check for himself.”

“Is she the princess?”

“You swear so much!”

Ain approached the target with great strides and turned his back without saying a word. It’s real. I saw it that way too. His shoulders slump as he accepts the score of 80. As Heoden became quiet, muffled laughter broke out from Mentator.

“I heard you won?”

“You did well for Heoden!”

“All three have lower scores than Colonia?”

The more you ignore, the more you will be ignored. This was an insult she brought upon herself. With Colonia as our enemy, we became challengers trying to destroy Mentator’s stronghold. When I reached out my hand to comfort Ain, who had come down helplessly from her pedestal, she growled as she pushed my body away.

“Don’t say anything.”

It seems that she was the one who was hurt more severely than anyone else. She’s barely at Bela Ste’s level. Sincerely, I believe that the scores just now are not indicative of Ain’s true skills. The previous shooters were very poor. If you aim for a perfect score, you won’t get a perfect score. If one were to be held responsible, Born’s crime was great.

“Kite, Ain, Chan, Born.”

I called out the names of those who gave me courage until the end. Ain ended up being silent alone without looking at me.

“Do you know what the difference is between a target and a person?”

Kite nodded her head and Chan and Born looked at me curiously.

“I’ll show you that now.”

Whether I am Ruben’s son or Ibor’s son, I would have been born with archery skills. It is capable of killing an enemy on horseback, but there is no way it cannot hit a stationary target. If you can shake off the pressure, a perfect score is possible.

“Next!”

It was my turn, so I walked up the stairs. Climbed the wooden horse. After checking from waist to shoulder, I checked the condition of the demonstration. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. As always, I talked to myself to prove myself.

─Concentration.

I want to win overwhelmingly. To those who ignore me, to those who ignore us.

─And to everyone who ignores Heoden.

From now on, the arrows fired were not a matter of skill but of pride. I opened my eyes. I can’t hear anything. As Kite looked at me anxiously, she smiled a familiar smile. I saw the target. Led to protests Tuung──The arrow hit the top of the central circle with a clear sound.

“Hey, I barely got it on top?”

“I aimed for the midfield, but I guess I hit it wrong!”

─You idiots, that was a shot to the head.

He made a protest again and this time inserted an arrow into the middle right corner. I covered my ears because I heard a familiar sarcasm, and this time I looked at Ain. She had a look of shame and guilt on her face, so she smiled brightly again. I was worried that she would throw her fist at me and swear at me, so I was relieved and shot at the left middle finger.

“What is that guy doing?”

Someone said. I didn’t even know which audience member he was talking about and I didn’t care.

─This time, the heart.

After aiming at the exact center, he clenched his fist. The arrow goes as I want. Whether it’s Ruben or Ibor, I’m just grateful to those who gave me this talent. The years of being ignored as the son of Joena were not meaningless.

─Next is the thighs.

I hit the left and right sides in succession, aiming for the middle and lower sections. Tuung──Tuung───I like the sound of the protests rising and falling. The sound of the bow swinging at his fingertips was delightful. Unable to love anything else, I focused only on this. I was Teman. Before he was the illegitimate son of Pong’s successor, Ruben, he was a capable archer who performed his duties as a reddit.

“Hey, that…” … Doesn’t it look like a person?”

Someone said it, and they will say it again, and they will laugh at it again, and they will doubt it again…… So I’ll admit it.

─Ankle.

Tuungtuung──The bow danced a dazzling dance in my hands. The arrow, which went in a parabolic curve, ended up hitting my ankle. Now what did I miss? I could hear a mumbling sound around me, but I couldn’t interpret what it was saying. Someone was watching my back. I didn’t look back. Because I know they are my colleagues.

─Oh, I lost my hand.

Aimed at both sides. It was between my heart and my thighs. There was no rush. Tuung–The arrow went forward and the body of the magic enemy I had killed countless times lay on the target. When I got off the horse and approached to collect the body, the examiners stopped me. Now…… A sound was heard.

“You’re crazy!”

“Everything inside the center circle!!”

“That’s more than a perfect score!!!”

I didn’t like the shouts chanting for me, so I covered my ears and came down to the station. When Ain looked at me, he looked like a child in tears. I was wondering what to say, but I was so focused that I was out of my mind. I just posted a familiar report.

“Two killed, eight wounded.”

─There is no perfect score in real combat, there is only life and death.

“I proved it with this.”

The princess smiled at my words and hugged me. It was a hug so strong that I could feel the hot body temperature and firm flesh. Finally, I came to my senses, opened my eyes, and listened to the sounds coming from all over.

“What is your relationship?”

“It looks like we’re dating!”

Soon, I felt a familiar touch from my back. Kite also hugged me, and she looked up at her cadets, wrapped in her warm breasts. Some people are surprised, some people laugh, some people are excited, and some people cheer. I just…… I pursed my lips because I had something I wanted to say to all of them.

“Hey…… You idiots…… !”

Damn it, why do I cry so much when I get upset?

“Oppa…… Don’t cry.”

“Why is this guy like this?”

“Chan.”

“Yes, Born. “Us too!”

Now my colleagues from all around hug me. He was so tall that his entire head was exposed to the audience. I cried and loudly shouted at my classmates who were like my enemies.

“We did our best, so just shut up and cheer.”

─You idiots, no matter how much we don’t like it, we’re all the same Heoden, right?

Something, something, something indescribable, haunted Heoden’s audience like a ghost. Someone called my name. There was a lot of murmuring over my name in the audience at Colonia. The examiner announced our average scores.

“76 Points!”

It was tied with Mentator. Everyone in Heoden stood up and shouted.

“We won in decimal points!”

Everyone raised their right arms, saying they could not accept a draw. It was a gesture that was more powerful than a thousand words. For today, I didn’t feel ashamed of myself crying so much. I guess I was very tired of the lonely fight in Heoden.
