Qingyue did not even bother with any test shots before taking on the targets, and each of her shots hit the bullseye.
Feifei and Rouxi watched her shoot arrow after arrow on the mark, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and then at 100 metres.
Even though she had hit all five arrows on the bullseye for the 100-metre target, she did not proceed to jump straight in at the 115-metre target.
She finally tested the shot at the dummy that was right next to the real target, assessing the wind, and only after one shot, she proceeded to hit Bullseye with all her attempts at the target.
The process continued until she hit the 200m mark, and by now, people were looking at her as if she were some monster.
"Are you taking them on too?" Feifei gulped and asked as she watched Qingyue staring at the 225m target and checking it on the screen as well.
"The wind is good." She nodded.
"There is no wind." Feifei raised her brow and then realised that's what Qingyue meant.
"Exactly."
Just like before, she tested the shot on the dummy first before taking the target on, and only after one shot, she nocked the arrow and then set the angle for the target.
Everyone followed the arrow as it was set loose, and their hearts slowed down a little when it started descending.
Rouxi turned to look at the screen, and she narrowed her eyes when she saw the arrow pierce the bullseye.
As soon as the first arrow hit the mark, Qingyue, who had already nocked the second, set it loose. And just like before, this one hit the bullseye too.
Three more, and they were all on the target as well.
"Easy."
She flashed a bright smile at Keith, who was staring at her, and a blush crept on her cheeks at the warmth in his eyes.
He chuckled a little and then glanced at the screen.
"250?" He asked and watched Qingyue nod her head.
"I can make it," She confidently replied and then got into the position.
Qingyue pressed the control switch and raised the 250-meter target, and the people just turned deathly silent at the sight.
Rouxi, who only ever hit that mark once, glanced at Qingyue, taking note of the angle and the draw, and then she turned to the screen as soon as the arrow was set loose.
Though she did not make a test shot this time, she did manage to hit the bullseye on the very first shot. The second, third, and fourth shots were all on the target as well, but the fifth, despite hitting the bullseye, looked slightly amiss.
It was still a perfect score though, and Feifei immediately cheered for her when she saw the result.
"That was 820 feet!" She exclaimed as she excitedly hugged the grey-eyed girl. "You are top good!"
"Thanks." Qingyue graciously smiled and then ardently looked at Keith, waiting for the praise.
"It's easy." He grinned at her, repeating her earlier comment, and Qingyue had this sudden urge to step forward and smack a punch in his abdomen.
"Hmph!" She looked away and then threw a glare at him when he started chuckling.
"You nearly missed the last shot."
"Thank you." And Rouxi was pleased with the praise since it was coming from someone better than her.
"Don't you think the two of you are a little mean to me?" Feifei suddenly spoke, making them both turn to look at her. "There is no way I can beat either of these scores!" She pouted, and all of them laughed at her antics.
"Good luck." Keith wished her, and she blushed a little as she readied herself for her turn.
Though she was not as good as Rouxi and Qingyue, Feifei was no slouch at Archery. She was good, in fact, very good. It was just unfair to compare her talent in Archery to the unreal talent that the other two possessed.
Feifei managed to gather perfect scores all the way up to 90 meters, which was already over the largest range in the Olympics. Then again, Aurors did not participate in the events of ordinary mortals, and those records did not mean anything to people like Feifei and Rouxi.
Most people in their social class knew the truth that a lot more talented people existed in the world than the ones who appeared on television.
Feifei merrily laughed when she managed to hit the bullseye with four of her attempts at the 100-meter target, her new best, and then she proceeded to attempt the longer targets.
She was not looking to best the scores of her friends. What she wanted to best was herself, and she had already achieved it today.
Her eyes winded in dismay when she managed to hit the bullseye on her last attempt at the 200-meter target, and then she grinned at Keith.
"Did you see that?" She excitedly asked, and he chuckled and nodded his head.
"Nice."
"I am the best!" She declared before she attempted the next target, and even Rouxi and Qingyue were surprised at the result. "No way..." Feifie dumbly stared at the screen when her very first attempt hit the mark, but then her excitement rose more.
One after the other, her arrows kept hitting the bullseye, and when she got all five on the target, she grinned ear to ear as she turned to look at her friend.
"I win!" She declared, and seeing Rouxi dumbly stare at her, she burst out laughing.
Feifei decided not to take on the 250-meter mark as she had understood what was going on, and then she arrived by her friend's side and leaned close to her ear.
"It's Keith." She told her.
"Oh..."
Later, the four of them arrived in the parking lot, deciding to not continue the practice as the place became crowded, and Feifei finally turned to look at him and questioned him.
"Why did you do it?" She curiously asked, but inwardly she was quite happy.
"Don't you know it?" He smiled at her, and seeing her shake her head, he chuckled. "Your friend, Wang Sisi, brought a young man with her. She was watching you, and they were both holding the Archery equipment. I guessed they planned on challenging you, so, I made them think again about it."
"Good!" She laughed and then unceremoniously stepped forward to hug him. "Thank you." She quickly said and then escaped before he could do something to her.
Rouxi sneaked a glance at him, but soon she was lost in her thoughts.
"Do you want to practice more?" Qingyue knowingly asked, and Rouxi smiled and shook her head.
"There are too many people there now. I don't like having eyes on me."
"Well, we can practice at the Estate. I will show you some really interesting Bows, much better than the ones we used earlier."
Her words piqued the interest of the two girls, and Feifei immediately agreed.
"Let's go!"
