《Subordination system》Phantasy
Advertisement
While Perseus was fighting the dolls, Arjuna had arrived at the archer training center. Each class had its own training center. The biggest one which was the swordsmen center, or commonly known as the main training center where all the physical classes trained.
The exact same episode happened in the archery training center, the person who attempted the trial was a lean blond-haired girl that reminded Arjuna of an elf.
The trial for the archery center was to shoot the targets on the head of the iron dolls before they got close to you and beat you up. The iron dolls would dodge and sometimes raise their arms to block the incoming arrows.
The elf looking girl aimed and was only able to get one target before being completely swarmed by the last 4 iron dolls. After being mercilessly beaten the girl threw down her bow in frustration and left to gain more levels, again she was followed by all of the people in the center as they all knew they stood no chance.
Arjuna stood, silently judging the girl for damaging her bow and observed all of the people who left. Only a few of them stood out, but that was for later.
The training instructor who was in charge of the dolls sighed in sadness. The batch of newcomers had given up on the first try. It seems like none of them had the talent to be an archer.
He sat down and started to string a bow he had placed next to the wooden stump that was acting as his seat. That was when he was approached by a black-haired boy. He had an intense gaze that looked like he was looking much farther into the world than others.
He walked up to the instructor
"I would like to challenge the iron doll test"

The instructor was flabbergasted
"Are you sure? it's only for the experienced and besides, you saw what happened to the people before you"
Arjuna responded without emotion,
"yes, but I can do it, so please let me do it"
The instructor seeing that there was no way to convince him, nodded and guided him to the starting marker.
Arjuna equipped his bow and quiver, they were crappy beginners weapons but Arjuna was confident in his skills.
The instructor started the trial and all 5 of the dolls leaped toward Arjuna all of them in a humanoid position of running with their heads being bent forward and their arms pumping hard.
Unlike the dolls in the main training center which were big and bulky. The dolls in the archery center were the size of a human and were swift and agile.
Arjuna pulled back on his bow his eyes holding a clear glint, his first arrow flew and it stuck the target of the doll in the front.
The other dolls were already halfway to him, he only had time to notch another arrow before they arrived at his location. Two of the dolls jumped toward him, one leaped for his legs intending to tackle him and the other jumping toward his head pulling back its arm for a punch.
Arjuna shifted his foot and jumped in the gap of the dolls attack or where his torso was. He jumped through them and the dolls missed magnificently. While Arjuna was in mid-air he rotated himself so that his drawn bow was aiming for the doll that had missed his head. He let it go and it flew true to its target, the doll collapsed and fell on its fellow comrade.
Arjuna swiftly grabbed an arrow from his quiver and stabbed the trapped doll's target. Two swift punches hit him immediately after he stabbed the trapped doll. One on his back and the other on his side.

He flew a few feet away but he landed on his feet with his bow drawn this time with two arrows notched in his bow.
The last two dolls fell without another move and Arjuna had won.

'yes'
The good quality bow and quiver appeared in front of him along with the bag of silver, he picked it them up and started moving toward the designated meeting place with Perseus.
The instructor gazed at the back of Arjuna, who had forgotten the instructor even existed. He saw the name that was carved into the wall next to the trial.
[First clear: Arjuna]
Meanwhile, Arjuna thought to himself
'okay time to go and grind some levels and catch up to master'

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.
