When Mayumi agreed to take up archery, I was genuinely happy because I know that she will be a great Archer. I believe that archery suited her better. When Mayumi agreed to take up Archery. We decided to go to Instructor Ezra to inform her that Mayumi will switch class. Instructor Ezra has already inform Instructor Emerson that there is a student that will switch class from the mage. The rogue now has 10 students while the Mages has 16.
[Later that day Sunday @ 2:49 pm]
That day I teach Mayumi how to hold the bow, how to release and the fundamentals needed to remember. Mayumi in front of me was holding a bow, focusing on her target. She use the bow that I use.
"Mayumi, watch your posture" I reminded her
"Right!"
"Lock your target and release"
*Pishing* * Thud*
The arrow was only at 9. There are 5 arrow stuck in her target board. There's bullseye 9,8,9,7.
"You did great, its an amazing for a first timer. I'll move on to the next stage. I'll teach you how you apply magic in Archery "
"Right" His enthusiasm and eagerness was shown.
"In order to manifest a fire arrow. Try to visualize." I pick an arrow thats on her back " Try to visualize this arrow was on fire while you pull the string of your bow. "
Mayumi tried it but failed. When she tried her third time, she manage to manifest the arrow but only last 10 seconds when she release it.
"It didn't work but I'm sure the next one will work " she said optimistically
"Mayu, lets try a different approach. Try to imagine a blazing flame in your hand that is in form arrow. Everytime you pull the string. Visualize that the blazing arrow was in there." I said to Mayumi
"Right"
She tried it and this time she succeeded. She tried again and again but she didn't failed. She always succeeded. She rejoice then Koharu also teach her about applying magic of the normal arrow. It was hard at first but when Koharu tell her the essence of controlling the wind, it is now easy for her, she just use the wind to accelerate the speed of the arrow and move where she wanted it to using the wind. Controlling the fire arrow was the same as controlling normal arrow. When I told Mayumi that she immediately tried it and on her first try she succeeded.
"Sharpen your accuracy. Master the fundamentals of Archery. Remember how to manifest the fire arrows, and how to control the arrows. Remember it with your body and mind. Understand?" I told Mayu what she needed to remember and practice.
"Yes!"
"Learn, Practice and Innovate. Master the fundamentals and create your own technique and skill"
"Yes!"
"Alright, thats all. Any questions?"
"Yes, uhm Koharu you said that I will create my own technique. Does that mean that you will not teach me your techniques"
"Master the basics then I will also teach you my techniques."
"I see thats good then."
"However, Remember L.P.I -Learn, Practice and Innovate. Once you learn how to do it, practice it. Engraved what you learn in your body and mind. Master Everything and Create a new and original techniques. Be innovative and creative and someday you will create your own powerful technique"
"Right!"
"That's all… Ahh, Mayu, Join me we will create your bow by today"
"Ehh why not just buy it"
"You don't understand Mayu" Koharu said shaking her head "If we buy it, It will not have a magic resistance and it will look ugly. Most bows are made with leather afterall"
"I see, Hey, Koharu. I've been wondering... Since when did you start calling me by nickname? And why?"
"Ahh, sorry if you didn't like it" I apologize but I am emotionless as ever.
"Its not like I didn't like it. I was just wondering " Mayu ask me while slightly fidgeting and slightly blushing. I raise a brow to why she was fidgeting and blushing but I dont mind why she act like that. Afterall, she is quite adorable acting all shy all of a sudden when she is always confident. I answered her question with:
"I start calling you by nickname just earlier today when I was teaching you because your name is kinda long"
"Thats all?!"
"Yes, ahh. Feel free to call me Haru if you want"
"Alright then, Haru" she said meekly while blushing as she said my name. The way she reacts reminded me of Fiona.
I already have the materials I needed for the bow. Why do I have the materials? Well, you remember I make my bow right? The one in gold and white color. So I decided since I have the materials. I will just take Mayu to the rocky-open-field-area.
When we arrive at the rocky-open-field-area. I immediately get to work. I take out the materials and do the things needed. I make Mayu's bow with similar features to mine. However with different color. The color I put in Mayu's bow is pink and white.
After 20 minutes. I finally finish Mayumi's bow. The last thing I needed is to put the magic resistance string. The strings was from a Neven that I happen to fight when I was finding the bow materials.
[Neven - It is a monster that has a magic resistance scale and hair. The neven is in humanoid form, but the tallest Neven is only 1 meter. It has a hideous face and It's skin has rough scale and spike. The Neven has white color hair and red skin.]
The weakness of a Neven is just like a human, its heart and head. The Neven may be resistance to any magic but it is not resistance to physical attack. As you can guess, I use the hair. Then, its done.
Mayumi's bow with a same feature as my bow yet of course I added a difference. I make Mayumi's bow foldable. It has a fingerprint as a switch that can immediately ready the bow for action and can automatically fold it when Mayumi said the word 'fold'. I explain this feature to Mayumi and I'm glad that she seems please of the feature I added. The bow has a pink and white in color.
"Amazing, Thank youuu Haru.. I like it!" She said enthusiastically .
She then tried the new feature I added. She put her finger to the glass like thing in the bow that can recognize her finger print and the bow immediately unfold and now it looks like a normal bow but more elegant than normal. Then after testing the new feature of the bow with her newly learn fire arrow. She then said "Fold" which makes the bow fold.
Of course, I install Mayumi's fingerprint and to make the bow recognized Mayumi's voice. For the reason that Mayumi is the only one who can use her bow.
"Then, shall we go back?. If my estimation is right. It is probably past 5:00" I ask emotionless
"Sure!" and with a big smile on Mayumi's face. We started going back to the Academy.
