"M-me?" she pointed herself and sighed, "Ah fine~....I guess it's p-part of my work." She followed on them through.
now i can prepare.... earning zeir trust won't be zat hard
"Zats so strange.... everyzing looks so different... from zis side"

Walking out of the portal John takes a few steps then announces.
"Here we are. The Royal courtyard. This is where you will all train until i think you are fit enough to go fight monsters in the wild. Do you understand?"
"you will have any equipment you desire here. Do not be scared to ask me questions."

"What sort of training regimens are employed here?" Korbin asked, looking around.
This is some magic that I need for personal use. Would have saved me a couple of times.

There was plenty of equipment, weapons, and others on racks and shelves. There were targets and dummies. Arisa was on the sideline watching, waiting to answer any questions.
Eliana immediately began looking over the varying bows.
Longbow, shortbow, crossbow. Each adept at different applications, however none entirely superior to the ozers... However. Crossbows wiz zeir mechanical augmentation... Yes.... Zey grant increased range and accuracy. But which crossbow to choose.....
And zat John character... He knows too much. Likely he was selected by ze king to help lead wiz zat Arisa girl. I need be cautious around ze two of zem, surely they won't appreciate what I intend to do.
"Oh John! Do you mind if I were to try out that bow right there!"
Eliana was looking at and pointing to a the crossbow. This one in particular was highly modified and would likely give the user an edge.
Eliana's left hand was already on it.

Angelo positioned himself next to Arisa, watching over everyone. He seemed to be enjoying himself.
"Yes of course. Use any equipment your heart desires it's all here to help you improve and become strong." John said with a cheery voice.
"A crossbow.." John thinks to himself.
"I thought she had more skill than that. Oh well not everyone can be good with a bow and arrow." He thought to himself.

"I thought she had more skill than that. Oh well not everyone can be good with a bow and arrow." He thought to himself.
Damn him. Why do i feel compelled to explain myself?
"Well you see, sir John. I've zought about it, and anyone who uses a crossbow will gain a measure of increase accuracy and speed. "
What am i doing? Zis is irrational....
Eliana ends up reaching for the elven long bow.
"I'd like to try zis one instead. "
I've never had zis little self control. Fazer would be so disappointed.

"No need to explain it's alright use the crossbow as much as you like." John said with a smile.
"This girl is kind of strange..." John thought to himself.
"This girl is kind of strange..." John thought to himself.
"Nonsense! "
Eliana gripped the elven long bow and prepared herself to fire. She was aiming in an arbitrary direction in the sky.
"I'm ready. Give me somezing to shoot. I'm ready. "
I need to chill out and just focus on ze objective.

"I mean, there are practice dummies. Just use them to get a feel for the bow. You have already displayed your accuracy." He pointed at them.
"He has a point" John says while also pointing at the practice targets.
"There are 3 targets every 50 yards for 250 yards I recommend starring with 50 yard targets since u are too low a level to hit 100 yards."

I've been underestimated. Do i humor ze man or do i put him in his place? No it'd be better not too give zem ze wrong idea.
Eliana began feeling the bow. She tested the amount of strength required to pull back the string. Then she put an arrow in it.
"Watch."
She pulled back the string. Giving it a moment to fake concentration. Then she released.
Straight through the head of the 50 yard test dummy. The arrow kept traveling for a short time arching downwards.
"Oh my......."
Eliana covered her mouth as if to stop a ghasp.

John laughs
"You must have been a very talented archer in your world to do that without any levels buffs. However.."
John walks up right next to Eliana and takes his bow off his back. Slowly grabbing an arrow and raising his bow he pulls the string back.
"Piercing arrow!" John shouts
The arrow starts to glow a dark red. John let's go of the string and the arrow hits one if the 250 yard dummies in what seems like light speed. The arrow makes contact with the dummy and there is a quick flash followed by a small explosion sending dust around the blast radius.
As the dust clears sight of the dummy is gone. It was completely obliterated leaving no trace it was even there to begin with.
"You able re good but you have much to learn." John winks and puts the bow on his back and walks back to his viewing point.

Damn he is good, I'll need to keep him around.
"Oh my, very good John. Very impressive. Will you show me? "
"Oh my, very good John. Very impressive. Will you show me? "
Impressive. But everyone has their weakness. Being an archer, one would assume he has little physical strength. I seriously doubt that however. In a CQC situation, my best bet would most likely be Aikido.
These abilities though. I am interested in trying a few of them out on a proper opponent rather than a simple test dummy. Let's give the Lightning Step a go.
Korbin turns away from Eliana and John and assumes a runner's stance. He willed his body's electric potential to focus around his legs. Feeling a static charge build up around him, he kicked off the ground and was sent 20 meters forward. He came to a smooth stop and seemed a bit surprised.
"I'm loving this." He said, a bit excited after what he experienced.
Just like with the fire in the court area, my legs are a bit numb. I guess one thing I will need to do is control these abilities or I might end up turning myself into a hand grenade.

Eliana watched what korbin did.
impressive, very... impressive.... but can he control all of zat?
Eliana aimed for one of the further dolls. She pulled back on her bow and released. Straight through the dummy's head.
"Hmmmmmm"

"I would show you Eliana but piercing arrow is my special ability. It has multiple versions of it but it cannot be taught. I'm very sorry."
John looks towards Korbin.
"Very nice Korbin" John said in a admiring tone.
"I can already tell you're a bit faster than me when going 20 metres. I was taught from a young age to specialise in speed and hand on hand combat. Perhaps we could spare sometime" John laughed.
John's parents were hero's and trained John as if he were to be one aswell although he wast born on earth. He is an all and ll round round good fighter and he is the only person in the realm who has 2 hero's for parents. He was often top of his class in his scout academy and was branded on of the "chosen". Being trained in the he wild for a lot of his life. His senses are extremely hightend. Smell, hearing, eyesight (can see well in dark) and tracking ability. He is very strong muscles of a body builder but can't be seen well du to his guilds cloak. He is very resourceful and can win and most any 1 on 1 fight. He has incredible speed and agility and can keep up with the quickest of them. In the realm there are no more than 15 people faster than him and Korbin just made that list.
However jogn has a big weakness it being when going against multiple opponents at once. (5 or more) he doesn't have and area damage attacks to help him in those situations. All of his attacks are only ever aimed at one target or have a very small damage radius. Often meaning John can't go into fights alone.
