BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82 Shooting An Arrow
Emma had finally succeeded in not being affected by his charm as she started touching her arms guiding him into shooting the arrow with good aim.
"Just like I explained earlier, keep your breath steady first," said Emma waiting for Aiden to do so.
This first step of the process was obviously easy for Aiden as he used to be completely silent not making the slightest noise.
"Alright, now pull back the string and try to be as steady as possible, you don't want the string to move at all."
Then, Aiden tried to pull the string as steadily as possible, and every time something was wrong in the process Emma who was right behind corrected it by holding his arms.
For any person who came from Earth, this scene would look like a boy teaching a girl how to play golf.
But this time the roles were reversed as Emma was behind him holding him tightly making sure that he would actually succeed.
"See, you pull it back just like that, now calm your mind and release the arrow," she said as Aiden released his fingers from the string.
*Swoosh*
The arrows that were shot earlier didn't look anything like that as this one even made a sound that indicated its speed.
It went right in front of him without deviating at all.
It seemed like he had succeeded in shooting his very first arrow.
"See that's how you do it, it's very easy, I don't understand why you're even struggling," she said smiling not missing the chance to show that she was better than him at something once again.
"I just can't wait for you to receive my teachings," said Aiden, thinking about all the teachings he had received in his past life.
'Maybe torture until she can't feel pain anymore, maybe she can swing her arm around until she can't move them?' he thought smiling having ideas coming to his mind.
His smile sent shivers down her body.
'Maybe I should calm down with my bullying, who knows what he might do?' she said to herself as she started getting scared of Aiden.
"So want to try shooting one alone this time," she said without adding her usual insult at the end of the sentence.
Aiden only nodded once again concentrating on remembering the words that she had just said.
'First, I hold my breath.'
'Then, I draw the string with the arrow on it.'
'When everything is ready I simply release it.'
After thinking that he simply looked ahead as he had released his grasp on the bow.
And the arrow... well had deviated a little but it was still much before than before Emma's help.
But it still couldn't compare to when she was behind him guiding, Aiden hadn't really noticed what she did at the time, however, it clearly had a massive impact.
Then, Aiden continued training this time without the help of Emma who only commented when she noticed that he did something bad which was... well almost every time.
She would only accept perfection and she simply wanted to help him raise his skills.
Her constant actually didn't make Aiden angry as he needed this feedback to get better faster.
After two hours of continuous training, Emma was starting to get tired of watching Aiden.
"Aiden, when can I start practicing? You've been doing it for two hours already and people would soon arrive at the training grounds," said Emma as her mind was getting heavy from the constant watching of Aiden.
Aiden came out of his focused state and said confused, "It's already been two hours, wow time passes fast when training."
"Also, are you scared of people? Why would you even care if people arrived here?"
'Obviously, because I don't want them to see you teach me something, how dumb is this guy?'
"Stop asking questions and just do as I say," she said not wanting to reveal what she had just thought of.
She was supposed to be the best, so if anyone saw her learning from someone of the same age, what would be that person's conclusion?
Obviously that she was inferior than that person.
She, also, didn't want rumors going around that a boy was teaching her stuff, that would be the worst.
"Alright, so you have some basics on how to fight with a dagger right?" asked Aiden wanting to know her level with a dagger.
"Yes, I've trained here and there but I still need to train with it," she said admitting that she wasn't the best with it.
"Then, I have a couple of exercises for you and tell me if you find them too hard," said Aiden smiling from ear to ear.
"Ah, you really think that I'm scared of what you'll make me do? Don't worry, I, Emma Everheart, will do all the exercises that you give me. I'm giving you my word."
One hour later,
"Can we stop here? What even is the point of this," said Emma who was still swinging her dagger around with no real purpose.
"Remind me what you said earlier?" said Aiden using her own words against her.
"That I will do all the exercises that you want."
"Good, then don't ask any questions you'll see that this exercise will help you greatly in many things."
Another hour later, Emma was still swinging her dagger around with no real purpose.
She was starting to get angry as Aiden didn't even say anything to her at all.
"What even is the point of this?" she said angrily as her arm was starting to hurt.
"Fuck this, teach me properly just like I did. This isn't fair at all."
Aiden hearing her complaints was honestly confused as this was how he had learned to get better with the dagger.
'Maybe I should change my teaching strategies a little, I don't want her to stop teaching me the bow after all,' thought Aiden realizing that maybe he was going a little too far.
"Alright, come here, I will show you a move of mine."
