The Strongest Guild Kidnapped Me

Chapter 16: You Didn't Apologize!

I ran non-stop to the hunting ground.

Despite the twenty-minute run, I wasn't gasping for breath as if I would die.

Had my cardio endurance improved as well?

As I tapped my chest area to take a break, three familiar figures approached me from behind.

"Out hunting early in the morning, I see."

"Do you want to see blood?"

"Bl-Blood? No, it's not like that-!"

Were they doing this on purpose?

Or did they really not understand?

Whatever the case, they were definitely not normal.

I decided to ignore them and focus on hunting horned rabbits.

Just as I fiddled with the slingshot in my pocket, the wolf woman handed me a bow from her back.

"Lord Gyeoul, use this. It's a bow adjusted for your young physique."

"Th-this one?"

"Yes. The slingshot is a fine weapon, but it's too light. It can't compare to the destructive power of a bow."

A bow.

I didn't want to accept anything from them, but I couldn't easily refuse either.

I didn't want to miss the opportunity to handle a proper weapon.

"Then, shall I try shooting it just once...?"

I nodded, unable to refuse their offer.

The wolf woman then handed me the bow.

"Is this your first time using a bow?"

"Yes..."

"Then, I'll show you how to position yourself."

The wolf woman came closer to me.

To teach me, physical contact was necessary.

She held my hand to help me notch the arrow and stroked my back and stomach to fix my posture.

It was just that, but my heart started to pound.

A strange feeling of disliking it yet enjoying it.

I forcibly suppressed a smile and noticed a horned rabbit hopping in the distant meadow.

"Can I shoot that one over there...?"

"Yes. If you follow what I taught you, you'll definitely hit it."

That's unlikely.

It was my first time shooting a bow; there was no way I could hit it.

With no expectations, I shot the bow as the wolf woman had instructed.

Twang!

The arrow was released with the tension of the string.

Despite its incredible speed, my enhanced vision allowed me to follow the arrow's trajectory.

The quivering arrow shaft pierced through a fluttering leaf.

Beyond the split leaf, a horned rabbit pricked up its ears.

Wait.

It's going to hit.

Just as I thought that.

Thump!

The arrow pierced through the rabbit's head and shot out the other side.

"Hm?"

Did I really hit that?
