Lazily Yours.

"Look at her, she didn't even dare to use any weapons. What was she swinging the halberd for? Does she even understand what that is?"

"Look at that posture! She didn't know how to use it!"

"How embarrassing!"

"Damn! I have never seen anyone looking so ignorant as her!"

Meanwhile, Gabi was only checking the weight of each weapon. She quickly realized one thing. The spear-looking one isn't suitable for her as it was too heavy. She doesn't like that sword with a curved blade either.

Moreover, she isn't an expert on daggers or needles that are five inches long.

She only has one option!

"That's a Ulfberht Sword." Miles suddenly appeared next to her. "That one isn't a spear. That's a halberd."

"Oh."

"Do you need help?"

"Tell me the names?" Gabi asked. She honestly didn't know their names!

"Well… that's a sickle."

"I know what a sickle is. Isn't that something grim reapers have?" Gabi asked. She ignored the comical look on Miles's face as she picked the one that looked like an axe. "This?"

"Battle axe."

"So it is an axe."

"It's a battle axe. It's for battle."

"Oh. And this?" she pointed at the weapon that looked like a spear but both of its edges have sharp blades. It was smaller than a spear too.

"That's a swallow."

"Who do you think made these weapons?" she asked. As a reader, she thought she could only see these names from the books that she read in the past. Well, she mostly read romance too so her idea about fantasy weapons was quite limited. "What about this?" she pointed at a short sword with really big blades.

"That's Ummm… It's called a bastard sword."

"How do you know so many weapons?"

"I like weapons."

Gabi nodded. Miles was nice enough to introduce some weapons, should she give her little tips too? "They are planning to let us fight in groups. You should prepare yourself." She said in a low voice. By now, the other trainees already had their chosen weapon. They were using it and performing some sort of sword dancing or spear dancing.

All of them looked mighty and intimidating.

"How did you know?"

She shrugged in response.

"Are you going to use a bow and arrow?"

"It's the only thing that I can use." Her thin arms wouldn't allow her to use any of the bigger weapons and she didn't even know how to use the smaller weapons. However, she practiced using guns and at least her aim had been decent after the nanoparticles.

In fact, right now, she was confident that she wouldn't miss a shot. After that treatment, her eyes had been very sharp. Moreover, her reaction speed improved too.

It was akin to a superpower, except for one thing. Her strength didn't really increase. But she could only blame this on the fact that she was too skinny. How could she wield a lot of strength if she didn't have a lot of muscles?

Therefore, she needed to improve her body first. Maybe she should eat more protein and gain more muscles? Or…

"Hey, Leoness…"

The use of e instead of i is deliberate. They wanted to irritate her.

"How about a spar?"

"It's not allowed." Miles was quick to answer.

"They say it's not allowed to fight. But sparring should be alright, right?" the person who asked was the same man who had been laughing at her since earlier. He wasn't really that tall. Probably about five foot nine or ten. However, he had very broad shoulders, his biceps made him look like a wrestler that could easily throw her towards the wall.

"Sparring and fighting. What's the difference?" Miles asked. "Are you really so courageous that you are willing to be kicked out just because someone beat you?"

"Ah! I fought with you before, right?" Gabi's question worsened the atmosphere. She had been really occupied, she actually forgot that this was the same man that she fought a day ago. However, this was only because the man's bandage on his eyes had been removed. "Your injuries are all healed?"

"Are you mocking me?"

"No. I was simply asking a question."

"Yes. I am healed. So I wanted to challenge you to a fight!"

"Ah… then wait in the line. Feel free to do that next week." Gabi calmly said.

"You-- "

"Anyway, I am about to practice…" Gabi suddenly raised her bow and arrow then pointed them to the man. "Will you move?"

"And if I won't?"

Gabi wasn't surprised at the man's daring behavior. He must have thought that she wouldn't shoot him. After all, this is forbidden. Oh well…" Then… just stay there…" Without completing her sentence, she suddenly let go of the arrow.

*SWOOSH*

A gasp echoed inside the room. It was followed by a long stretch of silence.

"You- You actually dared to shoot me?" The man held his cheek that was hit by the arrow. Luckily, she wasn't a great shot! What if the arrow actually hit his head? Everyone thought that she wouldn't dare shoot the arrow! This woman… was crazy! The man silently thought. She isn't scared to break the rules!

Does she know the consequences of hurting someone outside of the challenges?

In fact, the man was just trying to provoke her earlier. Who would have thought that she would-

"I was shooting at the target." Gabi suddenly said. "It's about twenty steps behind you."

"You-" The man turned his head. Anger gripped his insides. Indeed! There was a target board behind him! And she actually hit it.

Clearly, she didn't even aim properly! It looked like she was just playing around!

How did she hit it?

"I told you. I will practice." Gabi said as she picked another arrow and positioned it on the bow. Then she lifted the bow and aimed it at the man. "Now… are you going to move? Or… do you want me to use your head to make it more challenging?"

Gabi smiled at the man. Silently, she was actually shouting with joy. She just realized that the nanoparticles were so useful! Ah! Aden! She wanted to kiss him!
