Chapter 81
After the after-school supplementary class ended, Limberton headed towards the Schlaphe Hall with arrows slung over his back. He couldn’t hide his excitement, and his steps were light.
‘That instructor… their skills are no joke.’
The fatal flaw of the bow: aura. The bow cannot penetrate or contain aura. However, the chubby instructor said it was possible.
– It’s possible, albeit briefly. Normally, the aura dissipates when it leaves the body. But, it lingers for a very short moment.
Aura is like the flame of a wick. It extinguishes when it separates from the wick, but there’s a moment when the flame lingers in the air.
– Of course, the time the aura lingers is extremely short, so you need to shoot the arrow quickly. You also need incredible strength because you have to use a bow with extremely high string tension. Additionally, the range is shorter. The conditions are demanding, and the advantage of the bow’s long-range effectiveness is halved.
But, there was a significant advantage to this.
– You can pierce even knights enveloped in aura in close combat. Of course, this requires reaching a high level of skill.
This single fact cleared up any doubts about whether wielding a bow was the right choice.
