Conquering The Novel

After completing my lunch at the cafeteria I walked out, leaving Livia behind who was giving me a suspicious look throughout the track till I left...I don't know what's with her,

I thought to myself while walking toward the Archery class, which is one of the most chosen courses this year and it also has one of the largest training grounds compared to other extra courses.

As I was pondering myself I arrived at the entrance of the Archery class where a significant amount of people moving around can be seen.

They were composed of different species, humans, elves, and Dwarfs but majority were elves, as my eyes calmly analyzed the people, in return, they were doing the same, ever since I entered the room a weird atmosphere had been created, all of them feigned like nothing was wrong as they went on with their lesson but I could feel their keen curious gazes focusing on me, ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

"How May I help you?"

Hearing a voice behind me I turned around and came upon an elf, he seems to be in 3rd year. With dark brown and yellow hair, and pointy ears his vigilant brown eyes scanned me up and down,

"Yes, I would like to join the Archery course, do you know where I can do that?" I asked

"You want to join?"

Hearing my words the man in front of me was surprised for a moment before a sarcastic smile came upon his face, nodding his head he spoke this time with a more unpleasing voice,

"If you want to join the procedure is quite easy but...."

"But?"

"But before that, you have to meet with our class president, wait here for a moment."

Saying so he turned around as he stepped a bit far and taking out a phone he called someone, The talk went on for a minute before which he came back to me, nodding his head and spoke,

"Ares follow me, our vice president and the president would like to test you"

"Sure, lead the way" I replied

He then turned around as he started to lead me to a more restricted area, as we walked by many would turn their head towards me as they started gossiping around, I didn't pay any heed to it as we kept walking, the more onward we went less the number of people could be seen,

As I followed him we soon arrived in an huge open area with several powerful people practicing their archery appeared in front of me, the whole area looked like a grove with several different set ups for archery, I could see shooting stations in the open area, there's also obstacle shooting, people shooting at cascades and several other practices.

The place in front of me was heaven to practice archery, I stood there looking at the scene in front of me with sparkling eyes, I assume only influential people can train in this area while scrutinizing careful I could notice that they had turned the arena into the elves hideout, not in a bad way though.

As I was pondering the elf that guided me spoke to someone,

"Vice president, there's another student who wants to join the course!"

He quickly called out the person with whom he was conversing, but I could immediately tell who she was.

She was none other than Diana Eliora...

How did the she became a Vice President in one day I thought to myself, then soon I realized that she is the only elven princess and most of the people attending the course are elves.

"....."

Nepotism at its finest, Its only because of a rule that a first year cant be a class president in the combined courses or else if it were up to them they would have already made her the president.

Not that I'm complaining as she will be their Empress in the future of course they can't hold a position higher then her even if it's just a mere academy course. And the most important part is that she has an incredible talent that far surpasses them and she is as well the future High Elf candidate,

As I was thinking to myself Diana approached me and spoke while clicking her tongue.

"Tsk, What do you want Ares?"

"Of course I am here to join the course or why else I be here" I answered while giving her a soft smile.

But my charms didn't seem to work on her as she replied in an annoyed voice,

"Aren't you a Swordsman...no", she shook her and continued as if saying scratch that,

"Aren't you the Best Swordsmaster of our generation, so why do you want to join an Archery club."

"If you want to just pass time then please join another courses, don't bite more then you can chew. I Acknowledge your talent in sword but...

Before she could continue I cut her off and spoke with a smile.

"Are you still holding a grudge against me for decapitating you during the entrance examination"

Hearing me her face went blank and emotionless and the students around us that overheard made an angry look and started emitting stronge killing intent towards me.

Seeing them react that way I just smirked at them as their killing intent was like an egg hitting a rock, Soon I ceased smiling and gave them a Death stare while releasing my intent as my eyes glowing crimson red.

As soon as released my intent the whole atmosphere around the arena and the not so stronge students started to suffocate and was gasping for breathe while the slightly stronger students had cold sweat on their forehead indicating they were suffering as well,

But soon a loud shout could be heard around the arena,

"STOP!!!"

It was Diana who seem not much affected by my intent as she started countering it with her own, though it wasn't strong enough as she was trying her best, but after hearing her scream I decided to cease.

As soon as I stopped, Diana relaxed herself too and with her sharp voice she ordered them in a authoritative way,

"Leave!!"

The students around us who was still standing started leaving while carrying the students that were still gasping for air with them.

But there were still two students that didn't move as if acting as her bodyguard,

One seems to be a beautiful elf girl with blonde hair and brown eyes and other was male with the exact same features as the girl, it seems they were twins as well like Lucas and Ayla. I thought to myself, f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Seeing everyone other then her two bodyguards left, she glared at me and spoke.

"You want to join the Archery course right? Follow me then."

She spoke and walked away indicating me to follow her, so I followed behind her but soon I could sense two sharp glares at me from my back. I shook my head and muttered,

"They never learn " and ignored their glares as I followed Diana.

Soon we arrived at the area with the high ground which looks like a huge cliff where wind kept rising from the bottom,

Then Diana took her bow and arrow out and she aimed the bow towards the target at the other side of the cliff, the distance was basically 40 to 50 meters between us.

Her gorgeous face was fearless and calculative as she aimed the bow ahead, her golden hairs fluttered with the wind but the bow she held didn't flinched, with one swift movement she enlarged the bow string with her hands and steadily held the bow, and for a moment silence filled the surrounding as her beautiful blue eyes crystallized on its target.

SWISH.....

Finally, after the arrows left the Bow it seemed to have attained its own life as it proceeded along with the wind, using the wind's speed to fuel its speed, it was a skillful move as the arrow moved with the wind, and soon it hit the center mark on the other side of the cliff!

she kept firing arrows after arrows with various angles and styles, each one hitting with pinpoint accuracy, finally after her 10th shot she halted as she has already hit the last target.

it was a captivating display of power, accuracy, and control, an accomplishment only possible by an expert in the field of archery.

After witnessing her beautiful display of Archery I reminded myself again as why she is known as...

"The Bow Empress"
