Chapter 7: I Studied the Bow

It was the day after she went to the Fenrir Dungeon, and she was on her way to school in a sports uniform, namely cause they had weapon handling and combat practice today, which she would probably need to act like a weak person so people don't pay attention to her.

'Alright, what to limit myself on...? No punching people into space - as hilarious as that would be - no use of Unlimited Blade Works, which I also got to grind so I can use the Reality Marble, and no over the top amount of element flinging.' she thinks to herself before arriving to school, she goes through her morning routine of recreating Touhou music and doing some work before going to class.

That's Life wasn't interesting, so she zoned out half way through, but then came Weapon Handling, once she got there the teacher, who was also her Ability control teacher, asked them what kind of weapons do they think they'll be good with, most go with gun's swords and such, and She was the only one to go with a bow.

They laughed at her for abit but she ignored it easily, she got led to the range and was given a bunch of arrows and a book on how to use a bow, when no one was looking she used the book as a skill book and instantly learnt how to use a bow, now came the next part, using it.

Stand with feet at shoulder length, 90 degrees from the target.

Relaxed grip on the Bow's handle...

Turn horizontal and slid the arrow into the arrow shelf before turning back to vertical.

Three finger grip, index above arrow and middle and ring below, make sure the string is in last crease of the fingers.

Pull back with back muscles, not arm, make sure the index finger is under the chin, and the string touches her nose and lips.

She closes her left eye to take aim...

...

She relaxes her fingers and let them slip past the string as it launches the arrow, some people were watching now.

She held the position for a moment until the arrow hit's the target, it was two rings from the middle.

She relaxes her body before checking her new Bow Mastery skill.

[Bow Mastery - LV3 26.12% - Passive]

A skill that allows user to freely handle bows.

- +6% Damage with bow and arrows

- +3% Accuracy when using a bow.

"Alright... not bad for a first shot." the teacher says as he walks up behind her with an impressed smile, "I gotta say Jeanne, when you asked for a bow I didn't know you already did archery." Jeanne looks at him before laughing slightly.

"But sir, that was my first time using a bow." he looks surprised before grinning, "well, looks like we got a bow prodigy here, maybe when you get good enough, you can infuse your ability into the arrows?" Jeanne's eyes widen slightly, the thought hadn't occurred to her about such a thing!

"That sounds like a great idea sir!" she smiles at him before she starts practicing more with the Bow, making sure to trace the Bow and Arrow so she can practice later.

In that class alone, she got Bow Mastery to level 7.

She had another class before break, since That's Life took up about ten minutes, it was english, possibly her third favourite subject in her past life, namely cause she was a Fanfiction writer in her free time, so she had some experience when it came to writing.

And just to respect the teacher of this class, she used a book and pen to write while in this class alone, it was the reason she got those books and didn't just have her laptop from everything (minus art cause she was bad at digital art).

After a couple of minutes of writing the teacher called out, "Alright students, since this is the first lesson We're gonna do a level grading, i want all of you to write a short story, it could be a poem that's a paragraph long, or you can go all out and write a full page. i just need to get a feel of all your levels so i know where to help you at, and... as incentive, if you get the best, next lesson you'll get a prize."

...

This was her favourite teacher so far...

And thus, she went to work, using an idea from her previous life, just changing some things to make it fit her world abit, and it was based off the beginning of abilities more then a mad scientist.

The short story had three arcs, the first was introduction and the cause, the introduction was a school and the cause was a bunch of criminals thinking they could get away with robbing it. then the story continued with introducing the main character, who was a genius who pretended to play dumb, while working on bringing powers to real life, so he experimented on himself with the biology of an Eel to give himself Electro-Kinesis, which worked. The final arc was a fight scene which he shocked and killed all the criminals and got taken by the government, a dark end, but a real one none the less.

After handing it in and waiting, she heard her name get called out, "Jeanne? Could you come here?" she stood up and walked over to her teacher desk while people called her out for doing so bad the teacher was concerned.

Once she got there the teacher started talking, "Jeanne, are you a professional writer?" the silence from the classroom was rather funny, Jeanne just waves her teacher off, "Nah, I just do it for a past-time."

"But the writing is well paste, the logic and biology behind it is solid - I checked - and the idea that surrounds it as a whole is incredibly interesting!" the teacher seemed enthusiastic about it, 'which means adults like the teachers here aren't aware of the origin of abilities either, must be kept tight lipped if the teachers can't make solid theories...'

She sighs, "it's nothing special, I just had that idea for a while and you gave me a reason to write it."

It was a fun lesson.

Next was first break, so she just went and ate lunch while recreating more Touhou Music, including off time she managed to recreate about ten songs so far, so maybe she could release them for some money? thoughts for later.

And there was no way she would be able to do every song, last she could even remember there were there were over four thousand album covers, so no thanks... although she has listened to the lyric songs in english that were on the wiki plus some more from fan made songs, she could do all of those, because she was already doing those songs instrumental versions.

After that it was Arts time, which was boring again, so she just did some idle drawing to past the time, then second break which she spent exploring and seeing what other people did a break, and then it was time for some Combat Training.

She walked into the classroom, which she wasn't really expecting much, so when it seemed decked out with safety equipment and sparring equipment she was honestly surprised.

And it was the same teacher as her Ability control and Weapon Handling classes!

'Is he assigned to one class to teach them for the year?' she had noticed that she had the same people in her class as the other two.

She sighs before he starts showing them some stances for hand to hand combat, which was insanely ease for Jeanne but she had to hold herself back as to not raises suspicion.

Around half way through the lesson the teacher had them spar among themselves, she got paired with a random nobody and pretended to loose to them.

After that, school ended and she decided to go home, get changed and head to a dungeon, a level five spawned so she went there to to practice archery on moving targets.

That got her a nice 33 levels to Bow Mastery, so that was nice.

She also got faster at drawing and aiming her bow and arrow, so she could kill alot faster, she got a decent amount of EXP, but not enough to level up.

She sighs before going into the treasury, it had a simple sword, nothing useful but it was more blades for the Unlimited Blade works.

After managing to find a second hidden room in it, and it was an armoury, Hoo boy the amount of blades there...

She got 34 levels from it in Unlimited blade works!

Due to reaching level 50 in [Unlimited Blade Works], you are unable to level it up anymore and it has reached max potential, to increase it to max you will need to learn the Aria to cast it.

"Oh... well that's simple, 'I am the bone of my sword', 'Steel is my body and fire is my blood', 'I have created over a thousand weapons'." *Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

Unlimited Blade Works Aria: 3/8

"Hmm... what could be next...? eh, I'll figure out out later, it's a good thing I know the first three lines are the same." she sighs before thinking to herself while absentmindedly grabbing the weapons in the room and putting it in her inventory.

A question she had was if she could make them Broken Phantasm's, or at least the non-Noble Phantasm version of one, so she grabbed a nameless sword and tried super charging it with MP, it did glitch out so she guessed it worked, she enters the boss room and kills them without a thought by tossing the Broken Weapon at it, going to the treasury to get $1,000, two more swords and some armour she wouldn't need but would keep around.

She leaves and wonders what to do, maybe get some materials for the [Broken Bow]?

She decides she'll set that aside till the weekends in three days.

With that, she decides to go to sleep.

Jeanne wakes up in the void with her head on Manus's lap, the two smile at each other before they talk about life some more, and also talk about their likes, dislikes, hobbies and other things like that, the two were becoming rather close friends.

Jeanne smiles as they play Mario Kart, and she was kicking Manus's ass, but let her win a few games, if only barely.

then Jeanne decides to ask a random question.

"Hey Manus, how strong are you?" the sudden question confused Manus before she spoke her answer...

Next time on Fate of a Gamer

"This is going to be my morning instead, isn't it...?"

"Jeanne Skylark, Sword."

"Huh, alright, so I can dodge bullets if I concentrate..."
