Chapter 87: Moving Target and Timed Target

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In Gym Leader Alice’s exclusive training ground, the targets condensed from spiritual energy floated in the air like balloons, moving irregularly one after another

With the settings that Giles had previously set up using the scene simulator, the moving targets went up and down, left and right, front and back.

Furthermore, the interval, speed, and length of each movement were also completely different.

There was only one way to stop these targets and that was…

“Metal-feathered Eagle, are you ready?”

While asking the Metal-feathered Eagle this question, Giles checked the goggles on his face again.

This goggles-like device could display the test data on the lens and also allow Giles to operate the scene simulator using his spiritual power.

“On your mark!”

After the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was flapping its wings in the air, nodded at Giles, its sharp eyes focused on the moving targets a hundred meters away.

“Begin!”

As soon as Giles shouted this command, the Metal-feathered Eagle flapped its wings and began to shoot out arrows that glowed with a golden light.

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! Ninth ring!”

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! Eighth ring!”

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! Tenth ring!”

…

As the golden beams of light struck one after another, the floating targets stopped moving.

The goggles on Giles’ head also began to beep as it recorded.

After the Metal-feathered Eagle’s training began, Giles also began his own physical training.

The evaluation section of Starlux Gym was the Gym Leader Alice’s exclusive training area. Other than the functional evaluation equipment, there were also various types of fitness equipment.

At that moment, Giles was looking at the data that had popped up on his goggles as he used his right arm to do his pull-ups.

As the injury on Giles’ left arm had just healed, he would only use his right arm during physical training.

After doing his pull-ups, Giles, who was maintaining a constant breathing rate, began to look at the statistics on his goggles.

“Metal-feathered Eagle, congratulations on breaking the record! The average ring number that you strike on the moving targets has reached the ninth ring!”

Looking at the data displayed on his goggles, Giles smiled and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle’s head.

“Regulate your condition. The next targets are timed targets.”

As Giles controlled the scene simulator using his goggles, the dissipated spiritual energy in the training ground condensed into new targets.

However, this batch of new targets was no longer moving as casually as before. Instead, there was a beam of light from the scene simulator flickering in the open space below the targets.

If the first target shooting was to train the Metal-feathered Eagle’s eyes to capture moving targets, then there would also be the accuracy of the Feather Arrows when it shot moving targets.

In that case, the second round of target shooting was to train the reaction speed of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the accuracy of the Feather Arrows when shooting fixed targets.

When the light shone on the target condensed from spiritual energy, it meant that the countdown had begun.

Two seconds later, the target illuminated by the light would instantly dissipate, causing the feathers of the Metal-feathered Eagle to miss.

During this period, the Metal-feathered Eagle only had two seconds to throw out its arrow and shoot at the target.

“Giles, I’m ready.”

After relaxing for a minute or so, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had recovered, nodded at Giles in high spirits.

“Let’s begin, then,”

Giles, who was supporting himself with his right hand, started doing one-handed push-ups after saying ‘begin’.

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! 1.47 seconds!”

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! 1.52 seconds!”

Whoosh! Bang!

“Ding! 1.48 seconds!”

…

After being illuminated by the light for a second, the floating target would be hit by a dazzling golden light.

Giles, who was doing one-handed push-ups, kept hearing the beeping sound from his goggles.

As the second round of target shooting was mainly to train the Metal-feathered Eagle’s reaction speed, the interval between each target illuminated by the light was very short.

The Metal-feathered Eagle finished shooting all the targets in less than a minute. Then, it stood quietly at the side and watched Giles do one-handed push-ups.

“Huff! Sorry for waiting.”

Giles, who had one hand on the ground, slowly stood up and began to check the data on his goggles.

“Okay, you hit all the targets. Metal-feathered Eagle, your fastest reaction speed is 0.01 seconds faster than yesterday.”

“Based on the improvements in the data over the past two weeks, you’ve reached a bottleneck.”

“Before you break through to the Gold rank, 1.47 seconds should be your limit.”

After hearing Giles’ evaluation, the Metal-feathered Eagle nodded slightly.

When it first used its Feather Arrows to shoot at the target two weeks ago, its accuracy of striking the moving targets did not exceed 50%, let alone strike the rings.

It had also failed three or four times in a row because of panic.

Therefore, it was actually quite satisfied with the current numbers.

“The training program related to ‘Feather Arrows’ has ended, but it will take a few minutes to change the shooting range to another training ground.”

After Giles took off his goggles, he walked over to the scene simulator and reminded the metal-feathered eagle as he operated the device, “Metal-feathered Eagle, you can take a break during this period. Next up is a training program related to flying.”

After hearing Giles’ reminder, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not push itself.

It sat down beside Giles and closed its eyes to adjust its breathing.

After two weeks of training, it knew very well how difficult the next training program was.

If it did not regulate its condition quickly, it might suffer some preventable injuries during training.

Out of the corner of his eye, Giles saw that after the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its eyes and began to adjust its condition. Giles, who was operating the equipment, nodded with a smile of approval.

Be it during the Gym Challenges or the tournaments, spirit beasts would be given some time to adjust their condition and prepare for the next battle.

Therefore, “How to quickly adjust your condition” was also an essential training program.

Although Giles hadn’t told the Metal-feathered Eagle about this training program during the past two weeks, he still deliberately reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle. In this regard, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not disappoint him.

In the past two weeks of training, it had never forced its unwell body to face the next training program.

While the Metal-feathered Eagle was resting, Giles’ kept fiddling with the equipment and the original shooting range instantly dissipated into mist-like spiritual energy.

As the mist-like spiritual energy condensed into a solid form again, a new training ground appeared.

On both sides of the training ground, there was an object about the size of a table.

Furthermore, there were many fist-sized spherical objects in the ‘table’.

If Rex were here, he would definitely be shocked as the leader of the City Guards.

This was because apart from being a little small in size, the two ‘tables’ were almost identical to the City Guard’s ballistae which were used to withstand the beast tide!
