It was important for a knight to know certain skills set in order to stay on top in a battlefield and archery was one of them. Although it was considered one of the least needed talents for a knight, this still a requirement to be part of the Knights of Divine Order. 8 was the minimum archery score a squire needed to achieve to pass. That meant 8 out of 10 arrows needed to hit the mark.
Unfortunately, Emery had missed one and that meant he lost one point. It was quite an embarrassing mistake as well – he was sure that right now, not only the participants were mocking him, but the audience too, as well.
"Is that a Lioness squire? What a joke!"
"That squire is an embarrassment to the Tournament…"
"Why do they even let Lioness participate in this?"
