Chapter 26: Sean's terms
"Take your shots with your bare hands without protective gear?"
The green-haired youth frowned slightly and unnoticeably.
However, the smile on his face remained, "Mr. Sean, you're afraid you're joking, how can anyone do such a thing?"
Whereas Sean was very firm, he said, "This is my lowest and only requirement to form a team, if no one can do this, I will give up the opportunity to form a team."
The implication was that if no one could meet his requirements, Sean would even directly abstain from the third round of the team competition.
Just as the people present, were confused.
Galen, however, remembered Sean's previous ring match.
Sean, who had bad eyes, had used ranged shots in order to deal effective damage.
This was not visible in a one-on-one encounter.
But if there were teammates, the scene became complicated.
It was difficult for Sean to ensure that his arrows, would not accidentally injure his front row teammates.
Thinking about it this way, Sean's reason for making this condition made sense.
Only when his teammates who were not afraid of being mistakenly injured were in the front row, did Sean dare to output with confidence.
Although this moncler, has been denying the fact that he has bad eyes.
But he definitely didn't want to, either, pain his teammates during the ring match.
After hearing Sean's firm reply, the smile on the green-haired youth's face converged for the most part.
He had the intention of seething, but was hindered by the fact that Sean was the only available teammate in the room.
And in front of so many peers, the green-haired youth had to maintain his image.
He said, ''As I said earlier, there won't be anyone among the adventurers present who can accomplish such a thing, you can perhaps lower the conditions a bit, such as letting me wear armor. After all, for adventurers, wearing equipment is the norm in combat ..."
Without waiting for the green-haired youth to finish his sentence, Galen, who was originally dressed in a linen shirt and as civilian clothes, stepped forward.
"Just because you can't do it yourself doesn't mean others can't do it either. Elder brother Sean, I understand your concerns, and at the same time, I can fulfill your request."
With that said, Galen took a few steps away and turned around, aiming his back at Sean.
The rest of the guests in the hall, seeing this scene, also consciously dispersed.
Only the owner of the public hall confirmed with some concern: "Mr. Galen, are you sure you want to do this?"
After all, except for a few, such as the "Hardened Skin" skill.
It could change the structure of the body in a short period of time and increase the body's defense.
Most of the time, the adventurer's body is also in the category of flesh and blood human.
And one of Sean's conditions was to require the other party to turn their backs on their bodies.
In this way, even if the adventurer possessed this type of skill.
There was also the risk of not being able to open the skill due to poor judgment of the timing of Sean's strike.
Even Sean, who made the request, did not expect Galen to agree so decisively.
He also asked, ''Do you really intend to take an arrow from me? If you get injured, you won't be able to participate in the team match tomorrow."
Galen didn't say anything else, but just extended his thumb towards Sean in a back turned stance to show that he was ready.
Sean nodded silently as he took off his small shortbow, which he never left alone, and drew the bowstring empty as a warm-up.
This small short bow of his was dark green in color, a piece of equipment of uncompromisingly good quality.
As for the arrows he took out from his traveling bag.
Although they were of ordinary quality, they were sufficient for both wounding and killing.
During the process of Sean hitching his bow and pulling the string, everyone in the arena tacitly kept quiet.
So much so that even the "boom boom" sound of the bowstring gradually being drawn to full strength was clearly audible.
In the tension and silence, Nicolia was the only one who didn't seem to worry about Galen's safety.
After all, out of all the people present, no one knew Galen's strength better than her.
Buzz--!
When the bowstring was fully drawn, Sean violently loosened his fingers.
The bowstring, which was full of potential energy, pushed the arrow out fiercely.
Sean's arrow was shot too sharply and too quickly.
Among the upper level adventurers present, except for a small number of battle clerics who were known for their insight and speed.
Most people, there was no certainty that they would be able to intercept this arrow.
Intermediate Skill - Rapid Fire!
This skill, as Sean's main skill with the highest proficiency.
Its power could be reflected in two directions.
One was the five arrows in a second, rapid continuous shooting that Sean had used during the ring match.
There was another, which was as in the current case.
Increasing the speed of a certain arrow to an exaggerated degree that was indiscernible to the naked eye.
The gazes of the people in the arena were not yet able to fully follow this one arrow.
Galen, who had his back to Sean, was even more like he didn't react at all.
He let the arrow fly past his ear and eventually nailed into the opposite wall.
"Alright, you reached my request." Sean put away his shortbow and nodded his head.
"So this guy, he didn't even intend to shoot an arrow at Galen."
"This boss's idea was probably to test his teammate's guts, right? It's really a cheesy unfolding."
"But that Galen's guts are also really big, if that arrow just now was really shot at him, he could have just forfeited tomorrow's team match."
Distinct from the reactions of the others.
The green-haired youth now, only felt a wave of irritation in his heart.
These two guys must have known each other in advance!
Otherwise, how would that guy called Galen dare to take this arrow so openly?
"Mr. Sean, if it's just this kind of courage test, I can do it too." The green-haired youth walked up and said.
"Hey? This guy just now was looking for all kinds of excuses and was too scared to go on, but now that he saw others succeed, he feels like he can do it again?"
"Courage test this kind of thing, the difficulty is in the first time, since he already knows that he won't get hurt, what's the point of him going up?"
"I thought that this Paladin was a sunny and cheerful handsome guy, but I didn't expect him to have so many thoughts."
Listening to the cynicism of the bystanders, the expression on the green-haired youth's face, for the first time, became somewhat unnatural.
But since it had all come to this.
Letting him give up the third round of the team battle because he was unable to form a team.
This was something that the green-haired youth would find it difficult to accept no matter what.
"I didn't say I was going to give up just now, Mr. Sean, I hope you can uphold fairness."
Sean shook his head, "This isn't a test of courage, every one of my arrows won't land in a fixed position. Just now, it was just that guy named Galen who got lucky. If you want to challenge, you have to be prepared to get hurt."
The green-haired youth was unimpressed and just took it as Sean's words to scare himself.
He removed the splendid armor that had been fashionably enchanted.
Wearing only a white shirt he walked to the far side and turned his back as Galen had done.
But it was different from Galen's kind of crude shield guard.
The noble paladin had a unique defense skill for his profession.
"Shield of Holy Light!"
As the skill was activated, two illusory shields made of holy light appeared behind the green-haired youth.
And circled around his body, making regular movements.
This was the intermediate skill Holy Light Shield.
Although neither of the two holy light shields were large, it was at least considered to add a layer of protection for the green-haired youth.
Seeing that the other party had finished preparing, Sean also stopped talking nonsense.
He strung his bow and shot an arrow again with his Rapid Fire skill.
The speed and strength of this arrow was the same as the one shot at Galen earlier.
However, Sean's hit rate was indeed a mystery.
When facing the defenseless Galen, he was able to shoot blanks.
In the case of the green-haired young man, it became an arrow that accurately dodged the two shields of holy light and went straight into the other party's shoulder.
