The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Chapter 42 Looking For Guild Members

?Rishi finished his lunch and went to the field to attend his archery class. He saw that today there were way more practice targets placed than in any of the previous classes.

He was looking around when he saw professor Riya coming towards the field.

"Good afternoon, mam," Rishi greeted her.

"Why have you come so early?" she asked Rishi, checking the time on her smartphone. "There are still fifteen minutes left."

"Mam, I had some doubts, and I didn't want to use the time of seniors," replied Rishi.

"Ask, what doubts do you have?" asked professor Riya.

Rishi asked her all doubts he had in his mind. She answered all his questions one by one. It took only her five minutes to answer all of Rishi's questions.

He asked her, "Mam, I don't know any archery skills. Can you please teach me an archery skill?"

He then looked at her with puppy eyes. "Mam, my archery is not useful when I am fighting because I don't have even one archery skill."

"Alright, I will teach you. What type of skill do you want to learn" she replied.

"Mam, I want to learn an attack-type skill. Which helps me deal more damage," replied Rishi.

"An attack-type skill. I know many basic attack-type archery skills, but none of them are suitable for the longbow," she replied. A dejected look appeared on Rishi's face when he heard her.

She looked at his face and replied, "I don't know any basic level longbow skill, but I know many mid-level longbow skills. To learn a mid-level archery skill directly is very hard, but I have seen how much you have improved in one week when you are also focusing on learning swordsmanship."

"I have high expectations from you if it's you I believe you can pull it off," she added. Rishi was surprised when he heard the praise from the professor he always believed she didn't like him and tinked of him as a disturbance.

"The skill I am going to teach you is called 'Whirling Arrow.' First, I should show you the effect of this skill." she said to Rishi and took out her bow from her space ring.

She then carefully placed an arrow and shot a target 20 meters away. The arrow hit the target on the head and stuck there.

"This was a normal arrow; now look at the effect of the arrow when I use a 'whirling arrow' skill." She then placed another arrow and pulled the string back to aim once again toward the target.

The arrow moved like a bullet, and a hole appeared on the head of the target, but the arrow didn't stop there; it continued and pierced through many targets one by one for 100 meters before getting stuck in a tree.

"Did you see what I did?" she asked Rishi.

"I think you used mana to rotate the arrow at high speed when you released it," Rishi explained his assumption.

"You have got good eyes." You are correct about the basic idea. It's a mid-level skill; in it, you make your arrow spin when it is released because of which when the arrow hits an area, it delivers multiple hits on that area," she explained.

"If you use this skill with a poison arrow, it will be even more effective and deadly," she added.

She then started teaching Rishi all the concepts of the skill. Rishi carefully learned everything taught by the professor, and after some time, other students came.

The professor asked Rishi to practice by himself while she started to teach other students. Rishi started practicing the skill, becoming so focused that he forgot how much time had passed.

The bell rang, and Rishi realized that the class was over. He thanked the professor and returned to his room to rest for a little.

He soon reached his room and entered it, where he saw Lalit and Manu playing a video game. They saw Rishi enter but decided to focus on their game.

Rishi ignored them and went to his bed to rest a little. He set his phone's alarm and decided to take a power nap after messaging Dev and asking him to meet in the evening.

He woke up in the evening and went back to meet his friends. They all went to the canteen to discuss the new members they could add to their guild. They took their seats and placed their order.

Rishi asked, "Have you found any talented students we can add to our guild?" asked Rishi.

"Why do we need them? I am enough by myself," replied Dilip. Rishi ignored him and looked at Dev and Ajit for an answer.

"I have given the names of the students I found to Dev so that he could add them to the names he found and make a list to present to you," replied Ajit.

"Here's the list." Dev showed Rishi the list.

Rishi took the list from Dev and started going through it. Ajit went to the counter to bring their order.

After reading the list, only four people caught Rishi's eye.

"I think only these four students have the most potential and have not joined any guild yet. Have you thought about any strategy, Ajit? How can we make them join our guild," asked Rishi as he looked at Ajit for an answer.

"We are just a starting guild. Why would they join us? What can we offer them that others can't?" he added.

"I have looked at all of their situation and background in detail. I think we can convince them to join us by solving their problems," replied Ajit.

"I think we can start with Jay. He is in a terrible situation right now. His mother is ill, and he needs money for her treatment. Many people know about it; some even tried to use it to make Jay join them and loan him some money," he continued.

"Jay may be a student with a lot of potential, but he is very new, and most guilds only invest in students that have proved themself. Only student run guilds are allowed in the academy, but they don't have that many resources to invest in every person with potential." Said Dev.

"Rishi, we should hurry if Jay's situation is that urgent. If we don't put effort now, then maybe due to this situation, he will be forced to join a guild even if he is unwilling," said Ajit.

"You are right; Contact him and ask how much money he needs. I will send it to him now if he needs it urgently. Also, arrange a meeting with him after he has solved this problem," said Rishi.

"Rishi, how can you do that? We don't even know him. What if he takes our money and doesn't even join our guild? If you have that much free money, give some to your poor friend," said Diilip.

"If he betrays our trust, then I would only lose some money, but do you think I am a very good person? I don't care what difficult situation he is going through but believe me, I have seen worse," replied Rishi and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"No one has ever lived happily after betraying my trust," commented Rishi, and an evil smirk appeared on his face.
