Torias gave a small smile as he observed the scientist hit his mark. He picked up one of the arrows a cocked a bow, lining up a shot in his eyeline. Also aiming for his own twenty meter target, he took a breath in, and focused where he wanted the arrow to go. As the arrow hit the center of the twenty meter target, Torias shrugged and smiled, “Well there’s one history subject I know, and that’s all about weapons, the old and the new. Understanding historical examples makes you appreciate what you have more,” he said as the arrow’s thwang quietened. “But it has been a couple of years since I’ve done some archery,” he replied.

Surprised by the ability of Mr. Paron to hit the target, Kai walked toward him and said: “Nice shot, Lieutenant. A bit of practice will do.” Smiled
“If it is okey, I want to challenge you later for the fifty and seventy-five meters targets. Who wins, earns a drink, who loses must pay for it.” Questioned Mr. Paron with a provocative but also jokingly tone.

Dominic bit his lip and watched them shooting off arrow”the more I think about it the more I remember what happened when I attempted to do this. If my memory serves me correctly I tried hitting the target but I hit everything else like nearby trees......my house........... almost one in my mother’s head, maybe that’s why my mother didn’t let continue.” He said laughing softly as he remembered more of that memory

Hearing Dominic’s story, Kai laughed a bit.
“Take a bow and the protections for the arm. I want to see how you shoot.” Told to Dominic, with a curious tone.
“Also,” added “there’s always a first time, and I will not accept a refuse to try again archery.” Said sarcastically smiling.

Dominic nodded taking a bow with arm gear and prepared himself, once he was done he lined himself up with the target took a arrow drawing it back on the bow, he was slightly shaking because he wasn’t used to the tension of the bow. Dominic took a deep breath and took time to aim where he wanted before releasing the arrow and surprisingly enough he had hit the outer edge of the target.

Oliver, standing near the table and Mr. Paron, looked silent and nodded as he saw potential in him. “Can you draw back the bow again? But this time do not release the string.” asked to the fellow mate, heading to him.
It was not the first time he saw such shoots: with a bit of correction in postures and adjustments in the trajectory, even Dominic could score the red or even the yellow circle.
“And it was not bad for a newbie” added, leaving a thumb up for support.

Dominic saw the thumbs up smiling amd nodded”yea sure” he said drawing back the string again not releasing it just as he was told.

Kai, took a moment to look at Dominic’s posture. Immediately saw that the shoulder was too much high and that the right arm was not properly drawn back. Immediately, he managed to correct wisely his mate position and looking backward and checking everything, Kai said to Dominic: “go ahead and try.”
He was sure that Mr. Corvax would hit at least the red zone.
“Let’s hope it works.” Thought.

Dominic kept the posture and aimed at the target, when he felt confident that he would hit the target, he released the string watching the arrow land just a n inch or two in the red zone. When saw the arrow sitting in the red zone he smiled. “Hey! No one’s injured! You both survived my unruly aim! ” He said jokingly with a smile

Paron nodded towards the cadets “good job, cadets. It isn’t something that happens overnight, but practicing is what makes it work. Looking forward to seeing you at target practice, cadets. Just because your not in security doesn’t mean there will be a time you may need to defend yourselves. So, who says we go for the fifty meters next?” he asks the cadets with a slight smile.

Lieutenant (J.G) Torias Paron, CoS

Dominic nodded in agreement to his comment about practice “I’m willing to try anything now.” He said with a smile he was actually wanting to learn more about archery

Kai saw the smile of the Lieutenant: the spirit of the competition in him was arising quickly.
He would nod to him and take his bow, and his arrows then set himself behind the line parallel to the fifty-meters target.
“Look, and learn.” Said with confidence and a bit of presumption.
Again, nocked the arrow, the Cadet lifted up the bow to take the aim. Two deep breathes after, he was adjusting slightly to the right as the wind was flowing to the left, and certain that he was ready, he released the string, accelerating the arrow. A couple of seconds later, the tip would hit some millimeter away from the center, but still in the yellow zone.
Kai smiled of happiness and told to the others: “now is your turn.”
