Yale tried to put some Origin Qi on the arrow, but once he did that the Spiritual Sense dispersed.

“It can’t work? Or maybe I am just doing it wrong?”

Yale was in a stance ready to shoot, but without shooting, he was only trying to put Origin Qi and Spiritual Sense at the same time on the arrow.

He still didn’t know if that was the correct answer to use the Origin Path to boost his archery, but he couldn’t think in any other way, so he remained trying it.

Aiwai saw that Yale was static without shooting, in her eyes, he was trying to ensure that he was using well the Spiritual Sense before shooting to avoid making waste shots.

Wyba was unable to understand what Yale was trying to do as she couldn’t use Spiritual Sense and thus, didn’t know how it worked, but she knew that to Yale that was important.

Yale tried for some minutes until he started to feel that both energies remained at the same time in the arrow a bit more time before dispersing. Initially, they dispersed immediately, so that showed improvement.

After half an hour, Yale decided to try shooting one arrow; he was able to remain both forces in the arrow for almost two seconds, if the method was the right one, he should be able to barely control the arrow before the dissipation of the energies.

Yale was sure that he would fail the target because his objective at that moment wasn’t hit a target, he only wanted to control the arrow enough to reach the apprentice stage. After that, he would start to improve it more.

Aiwai and Wyba saw that Yale tensed the string of the bow, which meant that he was ready to shoot.

Yale had tensed the string before putting his energies to waste the less time possible.

Finally, Yale put both energies and shot the arrow without wasting time while using his mind to try ordering the arrow to move.

The arrow failed the target as expected, but Wyba who didn’t understand Yale’s real intention with that arrow felt bad for Yale. However, Aiwai had a shocked expression on her face.

“The user successfully created the Passive Skill [Archery Mastery: Apprentice]”

One millimeter, Yale had barely managed to move the arrow one millimeter, that was something almost inexistent and without any real use, but for Yale that was enough to reach the apprentice stage in archery.

Yale had a wide smile on his face; the method was indeed correct, the Origin Qi could reinforce the Spiritual Sense, he needed to use one Origin Point for each try, but that was something he could afford.

Aiwai was paying close attention to Yale and noticed the millimeter the arrow had moved after being shot, she was shocked at the start, but she started to clap her hands just afterward.

“Incredible! Even if you just barely managed to do it, you did on your first try. If you train hard, I can ensure that you will have a good future in archery.”

After the initial shock, Aiwai was excited, to her archery was something extremely serious, like swordsmanship to Swordmad. Thus, discovering that her little brother had such a great talent was a great surprise to her.

Yale went to check the effects of the archery apprentice stage.

“Archery Mastery: Apprentice Level 1. When shooting, all stats increase by 0,1% ignoring all the restrictions. This Passive Skill can be leveled up practicing Archery.”

The effects were similar to the ones of Sword Mastery at the same stage, but to have the increase in stats it didn’t require a bow, anything that he shot would be boosted, that included spells like Ice Spears and even the swords he used as arrows in the past.

If Yale used those swords as arrows, they would get a double boost, one for each mastery.

Yale was extremely happy; he had been waiting for that day since long time ago; he had started to train archery even before than swordsmanship, but he never had a great improvement in archery until that moment.

Wyba understood that his brother had succeeded even if she had thought he had failed, after hearing Aiwai’s words, so she rushed to hug him.

While Wyba hugged him, Yale had another important thing in his mind.

“Sis, can you tell me the requisites for the expert stage? I bet the requisite is something related to the control of the Spiritual Sense, if I know it since the start, I can ensure that I will practice in the correct direction.”

Aiwai liked that question as it showed that Yale wasn’t complacent with his achievement and wanted to improve even more.

At that moment, Yale was thinking of spending some more hours shooting arrows with his method until getting used to it, and he wanted to have more information, the more he obtained, the better.

After obtaining progress into something he had been unable to progress in a long time, Yale’s passion for training archery awakened with a lot of strength.

“Very well, I see that you are motivated, your big sister will help you to know the correct way to train.”

Aiwai was also someone who was passionate about archery, so she was willing to explain everything Yale needed to progress well.

“The requisite is something that might seem foolish, but you can use to fool your opponents if you use it well, you need to change completely the arrow direction two consecutive times. The head of the arrow should have changed the direction completely, moving it a millimeter like now won’t work.”

Yale knew that doing that would be difficult, but reaching an expert stage was always difficult, at least in archery the objective was well defined, in swordsmanship it was vaguer.

“Thank you very much! Sis, I will remain here training for some more time, I am motivated right now, you don’t need to wait for me.”

Yale had planned to train for too long after all. He would feel bad if Aiwai and Wyba remained there only looking at him.

“Sis, I want to learn archery, but I don’t know how to use well the bow. Teach me, please.”

After Wyba saw how motivated were Yale and Aiwai about archery, she had the need also to learn it correctly, or she would feel bad.

“Oh, I see that you have been motivated by your brother, alright I will be teaching you from the basics, come with me, let’s give Yale a bit more of space.”

Wyba nodded, at the start, she didn’t put too much passion into archery, but that time she was really motivated to do it well.

Yale was happy that Wyba started to show enthusiasm to train as she never trained seriously before.

Yale stopped thinking about Wyba and Aiwai. At that moment, he started to think only about the arrow in his right hand; he needed to concentrate a lot to succeed in moving it even a bit.

While Wyba was listening carefully all the theory about archery, which Aiwai was skillfully explaining to her, Yale had shot a lot of arrows, and all of them failed the target.

Yale was trying to balance both energies in the arrow to make it more stable; he was unable to make his Spiritual Sense able to interact with physical things, nor he expected to be able to do it quickly. He wanted to use the Origin Path’s Archery, which was something only he could do and would be even better than the lost Ancient Archery Path.

Some hours later, the sky started to turn dark.

In that period of time, Wyba had started to shoot some arrows, she failed a lot, but she started to hit some targets even if she didn’t hit in the middle.

Wyba’s progress was very good, but Yale’s progress was incredible, he had increased his mastery to the third level the same day he reached the apprentice stage, he was even able to move the arrows two centimeters, that was two hundred times more than the first time he tried it.

Aiwai had been paying attention to Yale with her Spiritual Sense and found that Yale’s progress was more than enough to be considered a genius.

The truth was that Yale was cheating, but that cheat was also part of his power and something that belonged to him, there wasn’t anything wrong in training with his own methods.
