Keeping it simple

Kai has a lot of things in his to-do list for today. As it happens, he met Alicia on the way. Hmm perfect timing. He was looking for someone to guide him. The palace servants were too much of a bother and were always fussing about prince-sama that and prince-sama this. He's beginning to enjoy this new world that he was brought in though. There were many things that he couldn't do before or just never had the chance to. But here, his body moves on cue with his mind. It's as if the only limit is his imagination.

"Low key! Dang it. Remember to do it low key!" Alicia reminds him.

"I get it otaku so stop shouting." Kai answers back.

He was the next examinee for the archery test. Alicia was at the back yelling at him. As expected, there were eyes staring at them. The audience's emotions can be classified in two groups. The surprised group, as it was the rumored royalty in the magazines. The confused group, as it was the infamous noble lady accompanying him.
The long lost third prince who had just returned is suddenly close with the prejudice daughter of a duke! Now who wouldn't be curious?
Even if Royal Academy is a school for elites, there are commoners who study here thanks to their talents and skills. The school has long ago set aside its biases against the common people. Yet despite much effort on their part, there are still nobles who believe that there are certain things limited to those with high pedigree and one of them is education.

"You may start when you're ready." The moderator tells him.

Kaid nods in reply.

The archery test consist of ten target boards arranged in a slant line. The first board is the closest at only ten meters away while the last board is the farthest at eighty meters away.

Kai positions himself. He holds his bow steadily in place and concentrated on the target.

"I really should thank my bros next time for forcing me to play the elf character." He thought to himself.

Kai never tried archery in real life, neither did he do so in this world. This is his first time but he wasn't ignorant on what to do. Thanks to a handful of game experience, he should be able to pull this off.

"It's the third prince..."

"Do you think that he is able to do archery?"

"Isn't he a royal?"

"But he was brought up as a commoner until recently..."

The crowd were murmering among themselves. Kai paid them no mind. According to his otaku friend, they were just... welp, mob characters.

He released his arrow and it hit the target right on the center. He then moves on with the next target and...

A perfect hit!

All of his shots were executed flawlessly. This continued on until the ninth target.

On the tenth, he stopped for a moment. By this time, the crowd were already in awe.

"How could someone so beautiful exist?" Were their thoughts.

"Hmph. Of course my prince-sama is the most high spec of all the capture targets!" Alicia feels pride from their awestruck faces but...

"But why isn't the idiot acting low-key?!" Alicia realizes that he is straying from the ideal image if he keeps this up and so she began to scold him mentally.

On the other hand, Kai was contemplating about his next move.

"Should I just miss this?"

A certain person would really nag at him if he makes it a bullseye. He doesn't want to listen to any more lectures about the lovestory between the heroine and the male lead(him).
