Chapter 295 Excluded

"The fourth level of the competition is over with Brad surprisingly securing a hundred points, Brolin securing ninety-five points, Bella securing fifty points while Reynold secured forty-five points.

"And finally Robin secured twenty-five points while Ciara secured seventy-five points."

"You really did well back there," Robin said after Ciara had returned to where she was standing.

"That's because I stopped being afraid and told myself I could do it." She said, "I think you should do the same for this final round." She added with a smile.

"Okay," Robin responded with a nod.

"Ciara's really doing great," Lily said.

"Yeah, I can't believe she actually scored more points than the second-year students in a tough level like that one," Cassie replied.

"Now it's time for the final and toughest level." Lieutenant Kate said as her voice resounded in the arena. "Brad Gregory please step up to the marked spot."

Brad did as he was told and stepped up to the marked spot, despite just completing level four with all points secured, he felt a little nervous for this level.

"Your fifteen seconds begins now." Lieutenant Kate said a few seconds after he had arrived at the marked spot.

Brad already had his hand in his arrow pack before Lieutenant Kate said.

He quickly pulled out one arrow from his arrow pack and fitted it into his bow, he didn't even wait to observe the fast-moving dummies for a little while as he quickly sent the arrow flying into what could be described as blurs of the dummies.

He himself expected that shot to go downhill but to his greatest surprise it had done what he hoped it would do, it had gotten him a headshot.

He quickly pulled out another arrow from his arrow pack and sent it flying into the blue of dummies.

That one had hit a different dummy but it wasn't a headshot.

His third shot had also hit a different dummy but still no headshot.

Looking at his face you could tell he was getting a little frustrated as he pulled out his fourth arrow.

He didn't take this fourth shot as soon as he had fitted the arrow into his bow, he observed the dummies for a little while before he sent the arrow flying towards them.

Just like every time he observed before he shot, he had gotten another headshot for his level five turn.

He was running out of time real quick and he knew that, but his priority was to get headshots and he wasn't going to put that behind making sure he got all his shots.

His fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth shots were all headshots but the only ones that counted were the fifth, sixth and seventh ones as the other ones had come after his time was exhausted.

"That guy is a really good archer." Ace said after watching Brad put up a fine display that would have granted him a lot of points if the time wasn't so short.

"It's your turn, Brolin Thawn." Lieutenant Kate said after Brad had retrieved his arrows and returned to where he was standing.

Brolin had taken notes from what Brad had done in his turn, he was just going to make sure he got headshots in at least five shots.

Shooting without observing was going to cost him points more than not having five shots count.

He followed Brad's method and just like he had planned, he had gotten five headshots before his time had run out.

Bella did better than she did in the last level, maybe because she decided to observe more and stopped trying to be super fast.

She managed to get three headshots and six normal shots before her time had run out.

Reynold had also learned from the people before him and had decided to concentrate on making sure he got the few shots he took instead of trying to get all the shots and ending up missing a lot of them.

He got three headshots and five normal shots before his time run out and to him, that was a win.

Robin tried to be more confident just like Ciara had told him.

He walked to the marked spot and waited for Lieutenant Kate's go sign before he began to fire his arrows.

He tried to do what everyone else had done so far but he was a little sloppy as he managed to get only two headshots and three normal shots, the rest he had missed before his time ran out.

"I guess being confident isn't enough," Robin said as he walked to the dummies to retrieve his arrows.

After retrieving his arrows and walking back to where he was standing, it was time for Ciara to take her shots in the final level of the competition.

She walked to the marked spot and had quickly reached for her arrows as soon as she had gotten the go sign from Lieutenant Kate.

Just like always, Ciara preferred to take her time with her shots, and this time she was shooting one arrow at a time unlike in the last level which she shot two arrows at a time and it had worked out pretty fine for her.

Trying to time the movement of the dummies at this level was tiring for her but with a little bit of observation and luck, she had managed to get three headshots and six normal shots before her time ran out.

"That girl keeps surprising me when I expect her to flop." Ace said.

"Alright that marks the end of the archery competition, you can now return to the stands before I announce the final scores." Lieutenant Kate said as pillars of earth rose in front of the students.

Ciara had made eye contact with Luis as she stepped on the stands before she quickly made her way to her friends.

"You did great," Lily said.

"Yeah but I don't think I will be participating in the tournament," Ciara said.

"You're still a first-year student, with the performance you put up, I am sure you will be among the two students to represent our academy come next year," Cassie said.

"Thanks, Cassie," Ciara said with a smile.

"For this level, Brad got sixty points, Brolin got fifty points, Bella got sixty points, Reynold got fifty-five points, Robin got thirty-five points and Ciara once again surprised me by getting sixty points." Lieutenant Kate.

"She scored more points than Brolin." Ace said, sounding surprised.

"Yeah, haven't you been doing the calculations?" Luis asked.

"Here are the final scores." Lieutenant Kate said.

As soon as she said that the image of the six students who had participated in the competition had appeared on the screen with their final scores displayed beside them in numbers.

"Brad tops the list with four hundred and fifty-five points, Brolin wasn't too far from him as he got four hundred and forty points, Bella sits in third place with three hundred and seventy-five points, Ciara wasn't too far from beating her as she got an impressive three hundred and sixty-five points.

"Finally, Reynold got three hundred and fifty points while Robin did his best to get two hundred and fifty points."

That result came as a shock to some people who didn't think Ciara would score above Reynold.

"You actually outscored a second-year student," Cassie said, sounding a little cheerful.

"Yeah, I did," Ciara said with her eyes glued to the screen.

"Brad and Brolin will be the main participants in the competition while Bella and Ciara will be their backup in case anything happens." Lieutenant Kate said.

"Wow Ciara, that means there's a chance you can participate in the tournament," Lily said.

"Yeah but it's unlikely that anything will happen to any of those two," Ciara said.

"The archery competition is done and now it's time to move on to the last part of the competition, the race." Lieutenant Kate said.

This was the part of the competition that almost all the students in the arena were really excited to watch as they had responded with cheers after Lieutenant Kate had said that.

"I have the names of the students registered for the tournament, please step closer to the arena once you hear your name.

As Lieutenant Kate called the names of the participants, Luis listened carefully so that he could hear one name he thought would be on the list but he didn't hear the name.

"That's the eight speedsters that will be participating in the tournament." Lieutenant Kate said.

"I expected Silvia's name to be there, she's one of the fastest speedsters I've ever seen." Ace said.

"Yeah, I wonder why her name isn't there," Luis said.

'Maybe she doesn't want to participate.' Lena said.

'Or maybe she was excluded.' Luis replied.
