Season 3: Chapter 319. The Arrow Transcending the Game (1)
"Sang-Hyeon, how’s your arm?"
Song Ha-Na leaned in close, urging him to answer. Sang-Hyeon avoided her gaze with an uneasy expression.
‘Why is that?’
He found it difficult to respond. For some reason...
‘Why does my arm feel worse today?’
He had only played two games, yet his arm felt strange.
"You’ve been pushing yourself too hard since that missed snipe," Choi Sa-Rang had said earlier.
Could she have been right? Did he truly overexert himself? Dodging soldiers while targeting others was something he did often. Why, then, did Sa-Rang think he had pushed himself too hard this time?
"It’s worse than usual, isn’t it?" Sa-Rang asked again.
"... Yes."
"When you’re trying to break through an impossible situation, it naturally takes a lot more strength. Even if the movement looks the same, the level of focus is completely different."
She was correct. At that moment, Sang-Hyeon had fired his arrow under immense pressure, fully aware of how much hinged on that one shot. He tried to force it through no matter what. Even though the physical action of running hadn’t changed, he experienced exponentially higher mental strain.
