“It’s a fucking hit, yah, kid!” The old matron exclaimed with a curse and a thick accent as she jumped slightly from the shock.
This time around, she was not only shocked that Silver managed to hit again but also because the distance was a little more than a dozen meters!
That is already quite fair, especially for a newbie!
Silver, on the other hand, had just finished preparing for another shot when he got surprised by the matron’s sudden shout again.
He was even more shocked in a daze when he finally processed the cursing and that tick.
His eyes wide open as he stared in shock towards the matron, who moved fast to check the downed pheasant.
It took a few breaths before Silver.exe managed to reboot.
When he came to, the old matron was already holding the pheasant on its feet.
A quick examine and you would see clearly that the pheasant’s head is bloody.
Meaning, Silver got a headshot again!
The old matron’s face is already red from excitement, not because they caught another prey, no.
It’s because she now sees that Silver might really be talented in this area!
‘This kid is a talented sharp shooter!
‘ She thought excitedly as Silver came up close to check the prey too, which she quickly handed to him to bleed out.
‘I should talk to the hunter in town to teach him archery.
Thankfully, that kid is also one of my own.
How time flies by!
I still remember that kid telling me about him managing to apprentice with the old bachelor hunter before because that old bachelor had no one, but he wanted to pass down his skills.
Now that kid had already gotten married and even had a kid of his own too.’
“Hehehe… I really got a head shot again,” Silver said with an excited giggle.
“Mother Mathron!
I!
That! This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
The feeling when I was shooting this time was really different!
It was like…!
The whole world had suddenly stopped moving!
And then…
There was this feeling that I just followed, and then I did not care about anything and just let go!
It was like that saying!
What was it again?!
That.
That!
Right!
It was ‘Let the arrows fly!
‘
That feeling is too awesome!
I feel like I want to do it again!
”
“Hmmm…” The old matron finally managed to calm down as she started thinking of what to do next while watching as the pheasant was finally bled out before she suddenly blurted out.
“I almost forgot! The prey had to be gutted too! I only know how to gut a fish! But pheasants are just wild chickens, and chickens have internal organs that can be eaten! If we don’t gut it quickly, it might ruin the meat! Sorry kid, but we have to go back to town and bring our catch to the butcher. I will also ask him to teach you how to gut your catch. Quick, let’s go! ”
“Oh! Let’s go! Let’s go!” Silver is even more hurried than the old matron when he hears what she said.
He almost ran back to the town, if not for the matron not being that hurried, just walking fast and carefully along the thicket in the forest.
Thankfully, they were just moving parallel to the town walls.
They quickly got to the town entrance.
“Hey, hunter kid! You’re getting back early?” The old matron suddenly called out to a hunter-looking guy who is carrying a roe deer on one shoulder and a basket in the other. Read the latest chapters at novelping dot com.
“Oh! Mother Matron! How have you been?” The hunter greeted back in surprise.
‘It seems this guy is also someone raised by the matron too, huh?
‘Silver thought with a slight surprise but quickly got over it and then stared at the roe deer.
It is the first time he has seen one personally in either of his lives, after all.
“I am doing fine, so…” The old matron said and then hinted.
‘This kid is still a bit slow; thankfully that old bachelor found this kid a gentle and good wife, or I worry that he might just get bullied at his own home.’
They got back to walking as they talked.
“So?” the hunter asked, but then he finally reacted.
“Oh! It’s not that I am coming back early. It is that I am only coming back after spending a night in the forest. You know some things about hunting, right, Mother Matron? You don’t always get to find a good catch. My kid is only about a year old now. I needed money for many expenses right now.”
“Oh…” The old matron nodded in agreement.
“Right, I was just about to go to your place. I want you to teach this kid archery. You don’t know yet, but this kid, Silver, definitely got a talent for this! ”
“Is that so?” The hunter replied with a look of hesitation as he put eyes on Silver in a sidelong glance.
The old matron saw that hesitation, but she just snorted before saying, “You do not have to worry about him taking over your livelihood, kid! This child is going to be an adventurer! He just needs to catch prey for his own consumption. You can rest assured! ”
“Ooohh! You got guts, kid!” The hunter was surprised as his gaze towards Silver finally came with some admiration.
“He is very smart too! Because he is preparing for it by learning from my knowledge and experience! I am even teaching him how to use a sword!” The old matron said proudly as she explained more details.
“Unlike those kids who just recklessly go to Orario without any preparation at all.”
“Oh… Eh?! What?! You are teaching him how to use a sword?!” The hunter was just nodding in agreement when he was suddenly shocked by what he heard.
“Wait…! So, you really were an adventurer before, Mother Matron?!”
“You damnable brats! So you all really thought I was just bragging when I was talking about my time as an adventurer in Orario?!!” The old mathron’s temper boiled at the thought of this.
