022. SHOW ABILITY

Wendy took us to an open field where there were various weapons such as firearms, daggers, arrows, chains, sticks and swords.

Seeing those weapons made me breathe a sigh of relief knowing this time we would practice using weapons.

We sat on the ground surrounding Wendy with the weapons.

“For this time I want you to show me your skills that you have trained with your mentor before you entered this Gyeld Enn Chourius college,” exclaimed Wendy who was in the middle among all the disciples sitting around her. “Who will try it first?”

Hearing Wendy's question, Cleve and Tiffany raised their hands together.

“Tiffany, you try first after that Cleve," said Wendy.

Tiffany got up and walked over to Wendy, where she showed a mocking smile at Cleve and it made Cleve feel disgusted.

Tiffany took out a long-barreled firearm.

“To now use the gun alone, I do not want to risk you shooting your friends because this weapon is very heavy,” said Wendy took a long barrel gun from Tiffany and gave a gun to him. “You aim at the target at thirty meters and then shoot, I will not tell you to shoot on target, just shoot as you can.”

Tiffany aimed at a target located at a distance of thirty meters from where we were. He looks so confident. And it turns out he can shoot right on target in the middle of the target. He smiled proudly and we applauded him. I admit he really has good shooting skills.

After that Cleve stood up and walked to where Wendy then took the gun that was used by Tiffany. Cleve looked at me with a tense look. Cleve's mentor was Nem who had the best shooting ability in the college, therefore I'm sure Cleve will shoot on target.

Before shooting, Cleve closed his eyes for a few seconds and after that took a deep breath. He aimed at the same target as Tiffany at a distance of thirty meters. But Cleve took a long time to aim and did not immediately shoot.

He seems so concentrated and tries to focus on something. Not long after that he changed the direction of his shot up and he quickly pulled the trigger.

We were all shocked and tried to figure out where Cleve shot. A bird that was flying fell to the ground.

Wendy immediately ran towards the bird that was lying on the ground and then showed us that it had been shot dead by Cleve. The applause sounded so loud.

Cleve looked at me and I smiled at him. I feel so overwhelmed by Cleve's abilities. Nem must have trained him very hard.

“I'm not surprised you can shoot flying birds, Nem is your mentor isn't it?” Wendy.

“Yes. But he always told me not to spend bullets on inanimate objects. That's why I shot a bird,” Cleve said. “But I'm not wrong right for not shooting that target?” Cleve asked with a slightly frightened face.

“Of course not. That is a great ability,” replied Wendy. “Let's applaud Cleve.” once again

Cleve returned to her original seat beside me. I saw Tiffany looking at Cleve hatefully but Cleve ignored her.

“You really are great Cleve,” as I plead. “You didn't tell me you could shoot a bird that flew.”

“Then I want to know what the capabilities of your friend Cleve,” exclaimed Wendy looking at me. “Bee, please go ahead and show what you have learned from your mentor,” Wendy said with a smile on her oval face.

I was shocked and embarrassed that I was unable to keep up with Tiffany's shooting ability even Cleve. What am I supposed to do? My sword ability is also ordinary because Gumi does not master swordsmanship well.

“Don't worry Bee, just show me how you play the sword because I'm sure no child can do it.” Cleve whispered to me. “Quick forward there.” Cleve pushed me to get up.

I walked towards Wendy and was silent to the table where all the weapons were placed. I can't shoot at all because Gumi doesn't have a firearm to teach me. I did shoot people, but it was just a coincidence why my shot was on target.

After a moment of thought I took out a sword that was still in its sheath. All the kids and Wendy were watching me because of that I felt even more nervous. They waited for me with no voice.

I tried to shake off my nervousness by breathing out and then after that pulled the sword from its sheath. Some children were seen whispering, I did not want to think about what they were whispering.

With a little confidence that I would amaze them with my swordplay, I took a few steps forward to start playing the sword. Without a second thought I immediately moved my sword with the agility that Gumi taught me.

Throwing the sword up and then take it back like it was during practice. After feeling quite moved with the sword, I ended my actions. They just looked at me without saying anything and it made me a little confused.

Are my actions with the sword not good in their eyes?

Suddenly there was a clap of hands and footsteps approaching from behind me. I turned to find out the origin of the voice and saw Mom walking towards me. I don't know since when he was here.

“Why did you choose the sword?” Ask Mom and make me nervous.

I never felt comfortable when I saw it. Her cold nature makes me not so fond of being around her.

“You heard me, right?”

“Se—actually... Gumi said I had to find out what weapons I really mastered, and since there was no one in this college who really mastered the sword she told me to pick that weapon,” answered I did not look him in the eye because I would die if I looked him in the eye, that's how I feel. “I also feel that the sword is a suitable weapon for me.”

“Then after the lesson is over you have to go to my room!” Mom exclaimed after that walking away.

I don't understand what Mom meant to tell me to see her after class.

Will he punish me again? But I don't feel like I made a mistake, then what's the matter?

To be honest, I was very afraid of having to deal with him. He is also not a friendly person like me, because it is only a tension if there are only two of us.
