Chapter 402: A natural talent archer

From the next day, he was also sure that everyone will think she's rich. But then again, if he's adjusting with their lives, they should also get used to this, especially his sister.

It was for this reason, he showed her a glimpse of luxurious life at Ares City back then and it was also for this, he purposely drove in his personal car. In fact, he was prepared to take large security with him but not wanting to make news, Wil backed off at the last minute.

But, he couldn't say all of it to his sister. So, he answered, "I have but I like this the best. It was the last birthday present my dad gave me."

Although it wasn't the reason, still, it was true that this car was given by the Mafia Lord on his 19th birthday. So, in a way, it can be considered as a memory.

Mia went silent. Originally, she planned to say that it's a bit intimidating and even worried about what going to happen the next day but now, she couldn't tell what she wanted to upon hearing the reason.

"By the way, how's school?" Seeing Mia keep quiet, Wil tried to start a conversation. "Anything interesting happened, today?"

"I made a new friend." As Mia started to tell him various things ranging from the school world to the virtual world, Wil continued to drive while listening to her.

Nearly half an hour later, Wil stopped the car. "We are here."

"Eh? Where are we?" Mia felt the surrounding buildings were unfamiliar. She was sure that this wasn't the street where her home is located.

Wil opened the door and got down. As she got out of the car, her eyes fell on the signboard. "ATC?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn Archery?" A smile appeared on Wil as he asked her. "It will take time before Rey comes back home. Until then, you can try to see if you have the talent or not."

Due to the weekdays, there were only two customers inside the training center. A part-timer was looking after them and the owner was reading some magazine.

"Oh, it's Mr. Ravens." The owner spotted Wil as soon as the latter stepped inside the building. "It's been a while."

Shaking his hand, Wil replied, "I'm busy these days."

"I saw the news." This Master Archer had this look of excitement upon seeing Wil back. Just a while ago, he found out how much of a big shot this young man is. "Anyway, this is" His eyes then fell on Mia who quickly hid behind Wil in instinct.

As Wil's built is bigger than Rey's, she felt even more secure. "This is my sister, Mia."

He then stepped aside and looked at his sister, "Mia, this is Ma Ling, a Master Archer and Hyori's teacher. He is also the boss here."

Mia shyly greeted him with a nod. She was a little bit reserved when talking to strangers.

"Do you like archery?" He asked the girl.

As Mia faced difficulty to reply because she wasn't sure about it, Wil replied in her stead, "She becomes fascinated with Archery after watching IAC finals and wants to try it. Can we"

"Oh sure, why not... The Kids section is usually empty anyway." As the owner gave permission, Wil and Mia walked to the archery lane for kids where the owner manually placed the target board five meters away.

He gave a recurve bow and arrow according to her size. Then, he picked his own to demonstrate.

"You should grab the arrow like this"

Mia followed exactly what he was doing. Pulling the string as much as she can, without receiving a piece of advice, she instinctively closed her left eye and narrowed her right eye to concentrate on the yellow paint in the center and released the arrow.

*Swoosh*

The arrow cut through the air like lightning and not only struck at the center of the ring but embedded 1 inch deep inside the wooden board.

"What!" The Master Archer wasn't able to hold back his surprise. Even Mia couldn't believe her eyes while Wil didn't think much as the distance is only 5 meters where shooting a hundred meters is common for him. He was only excited that his sister seemed to be talented in Archery.

But, this Master Archer has different views from Wil. He hurriedly asked Mia, "Is this really your first time?"

Mia nodded in confusion. Even she couldn't believe she was this good at it.

The Master Archer quickly walked forward and placed the target ten meters away, this time.

"Uhh Mr. Ma, isn't it too much?" Wil thought this middle-aged fellow was too excited. Isn't this the time to boost Mia's confidence instead of testing her limits? He wondered.

Ma Ling replied, "I just need to confirm something. Please don't mind."

"What he wanted to confirm?" Wil thought in his head. He watched in silence as Mia put another arrow between her fingertips and pulled the string. She only saw the demo once but was able to follow it for the second time perfectly.

*Swoosh*

The arrow was released again and this time, Wil saw something out of ordinary. It is the speed. Moreover, it struck the dead center once again.

"Big Brother, I did it." Mia's face glow up in excitement as she turned around. 

Ma Ling finally took out the Archery board from the lane and pointed at the Archery Target that was fixed on the wall, fifteen meters away. He asked her to try on it.

Once again, she tried shooting at the center, but this time, the location was off and the arrow struck the red zone at 7 points. She felt a little bit sad but the Master Archer praised her, "good, I never seen a beginner without prior knowledge was able to shoot a target that is placed nearly 50 ft away. Here, you can practice a few more."

As Mia continued to shoot the arrows, Ma Ling came to Wil and said, "Your little sister is a natural talent. Moreover, she seems to have internal strength. If she trains for a few years, she might even reach the level of a pro."

Wil was satisfied by his remarks. "I guess I'll sign her up for membership."
