《Under The Game of God》Chapter 21- The Shooting Club

"He was Jack, by the way, Captain. Can I ask if we can use the equipment for the outsider, I want to recruit Jack but he said, he wants to try our club first." Arvin said with a smile.
"It's not like I want to spoil your fun Arvin, you know that our club consists of all the marksman in the world. So I say what do you think will happen if I let you make use of our equipment for the outsider without the profession of a marksman." The Captain took a deep breath as he continued.
"They will think I am using my authority I can't use my reputation for an outsider, right?" Captain Rex said with a hint of sorry.
Arvin smiled and said. "Then Captain, do you think I can use my credit?"
Captain Rex face change as he said. "Didn't you said that credit was important to you?"
"Well, a friend is more important for a mere credit, right?"
Captain Rex helplessly smiled. "Okay, your Credit is around 1030, so after using the Credit for your friend. The club will deduct 50 points of your Credit for the equipment for today."
Jack who was beside Romnick ask. "What is the use of Credit anyway?"
"Didn't you read the School guide?" Speechless, Romnick asked Jack.
"Well, I already forgot about it." Suffering from the curse before, it was no surprise that Jack already forgets the school guide.
"You have to read it, or else you won't know the benefits of enrolling to this school. Anyway, the Credit has its use in various ways you can even exchange with money. Using it that way was a waste, so I don't recommend it. Arvin wants to use the credit to enter the police department of this country to broaden his knowledge and ability."

"Arvin wants to surpass his father I didn't know what he means at first, but after knowing that his father was an inspector. Now I know, why he wants to enter the police department that much, but I wonder why he used his Credit casually." Romnick touches his chin, deep in thought.
"Oh;" Jack swear to read the school guide after this.
"Guys come here." Arvin gestured to Romnick and Jack.
"Jack, take each one of those then come in the front." Pointing at the bow and quiver that was fix in the corner, Arvin looks at Romnick. "You too."
"I am allowed too?" Pointing himself, Romnick asked confused.
"At first, it's not, but the captain deducted my credit for the two of you."
"Tell me, it's discount, right?" Romnick whispered to Arvin.
"Yeah, to use the equipment for an outsider who was not a member of the club will at least cost me a 100 credit including you, will at least cost me 200 credit. But captain used the pretext of Credit to allow the of you to use the equipment of the club." A gentle smile appeared on Arvin's face.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A black haired youth wearing a school uniform, black pants, and the top was ash grey, standing in front of a wide area, without the presence of any human. A young boy look at the target with concentration, on his hand, was a bow. Pulling the string with arrow attach with it, he releases it without hesitation as it flew in a different direction missing the target in a large margin. The Arrow hit a nearby tree as it pierces deep burrowing the arrow in the tree, the youth let out a satisfied smile as if he hit the target successfully.
"As I thought, archery can't measure my awesomeness." The youth muttered to himself as if what he did was the best result he has ever seen. On his side, a brown-haired boy was gnashing his teeth as he looks at the youth in front of him.

"Romnick, you i..idiot! Don't act like you were an expert, you missed, right?" Arvin was on the verge exploding when he heard Romnick praise himself after missing the target.
"What miss! Arvin, missing is not on my vocabulary, didn't you saw that I hit the target, in the first place I am aiming for that tree!" Romnick said without feeling embarrassed.
"Then why did you focus on the Target if you are aiming for the tree! That tree was almost 15 meters away from the Target so how the hell did you even think, I will be F00LED, you shameless brute!"
Romnick shrugged his shoulder as he said shamelessly. " You are blind, that was a feint to fool the target."
"The target was not even moving how the hell, that is feints are you high or something."
"Anyway, you can't understand my way of archery, HAHA." Romnick laughs while mocking Arvin.
"Well, do I have my turns or not?" Jack said while looking helplessly to the two.
When they are ready for their first try, many of the club members already occupied the practice area, and only one seems to be available. They exchange a look and seems to make a term that Romnick will be the first one to try. Jack agreed as he wants to see beforehand what is the basic of archery, seeing Romnick professional stance, he thought, he was good at it. But after looking at the fired Arrow, he carelessly smiled and thought he was still inexperienced, that he couldn't tell that Romnick was an amateur, and only know the basic on how to fire an Arrow.
"Get away, you shameless brute." Arvin kicks the laughing Romnick as he was irritated by his shamelessness.
Standing in front, Jack felt his mind widen as he instinctively releases his psychic sense, a lot of thought entered Jack's mind but hurriedly retract it as he finds it annoying. Taking a deep breath, Jack took a stance and put the arrow in the bow, and pulled it with gentle force. Looking at Jack posture, Arvin thought. 'isn't the same stance of Romnick earlier?'
Jack concentrated and aimed the point of the Arrow on the Target, with the sense ten times of that average person. He can see the Target like it was 2 meters away from him, holding the nock of the arrow carefully, he releases it with the right amount of force to avoid changing its direction because of excessive Strength.
The arrow made a gentle sound as it beautifully flew on the target hitting it in the center. Jack release a sigh, adjusting his mental condition to the high level made him exhausted spiritually. He looks at Arvin and saw his serious expression, while Romnick was dumbfounded to the point he was speechless. "Arvin, what happened?" Jack asked him, but Arvin didn't say anything but grab his shoulder. "You were born to become a marksman;" Arvin said with eyes shining brightly.
When he saw that the state of Jack when took a stance, he was stunned to see his calmness, it was like he was one with nature. This kind of State can only attain through practice or born with it, Jack integrating with the environment was like a leaf as it followed the wind. This State was the dream he wants to attain, an extreme focus where there are no external things can disturb your state of mind.
"Huh?" Jack said confused.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
