Homing Arrows

[You Have Slain A Level 29 Giant Polar Bear!]

[+3150 EXP (-20% EXP From Party)]

Even after countless shots Zoom couldn't unlock the homing arrow skill.

Zoom who was quite irritated was now annoyed by AIzen's constant laughter and throw a snowball at Aizen which caused AIzen to trip.

"What was that for?" Aizen said as he wiped the snow off his face.

"Teach me!" Zoom demanded but Aizen shook his head.

"Hey I learned mine by myself, you should be able to do it with your talent."

Zoom glared daggers at Aizen but retreated.

'Homing arrows are controlled by mana so I need to use mana to control my arrows, the problem is it's difficult to control mana!' Zoom could only sigh.

'I should start from the beginning and work my way up from there, I should try to cast my mana on something smaller... Snow!'

Zoom sat down on the cold snow and placed his hand a few inches above the snow and closed his eyes.

Initially nothing happened but after seconds passed bits of snow slowly rose and hovered above the snow by a few inches but didn't get into contact with Zoom's hands and were simply floating.

Soon more and more snow continued to pile and in a minute a small snowball was already created.

Zoom felt his body heating up even though it was snowing, that said a lot on how taxing mana controlling was for beginners.

[You Have Reached Level 27!]

Zoom simply looked at Aizen who was now sitting on the ground drinking a potion.

"It may look easy to level up but damn it's taxing to my mana supply and I have to rest for a few minutes, plus once you reach my level range it takes a lot more than two or three level twenty five beasts to level up."

"The early stages is where levelling is really really fast but wait once you reach level forty." Aizen said before continuing to drink his potion.

"Your level forty?!" Zoom exclaimed.

"What? No! Just because I said wait until you reach level forty doesn't mean I'm level forty already..." Aizen contemplated for a bit.

"Yeah yeah, alright I'll just finish this." Zoom continued to do what he did last time and after ten minutes he could now control a fully sized snowball and float it around but he couldn't keep doing since he lacked much experience.

"Are you just going to keep looking at me?" Zoom said.

"Well I still have to rest a bit plus I can't just shoot beasts from this distance without any consequence, I have to mainly target beasts that are alone because if there's too many I might run out of mana before I kill them all and they'll chase me and kill me." Aizen said before leaning to the bed made of he had created while Zoom practiced.

Zoom continued to practice for fifteen more minutes before a notification popped up.

[Congratulations! You Have Learned The Skill 'Mana Control']

[Mana Control: With this skill you use mana to control objects and move them to certain directions and places, the mana used highly depends on the object.]

'What the F***, I expected homing arrow!... But hey new skill it is.'

It has been an hour, the two chatted while Zoom practiced and the two occasionally killed beasts.

Currently two gigantic polar bears could be seen walking together in the distance, after an hour of practice Zoom has finally reached the point where he could say he is average.

He pulled his string with minimal strength while he focused himself, his mind, his breathing, his body posture, the strength he exhibited, everything.

He took a deep breath and released the string.

PEW! Swoosh!

It was swift, the arrow covered in a purple aura, the two polar bears stared intently at the incoming arrow before they jumped.

The arrow narrowly missed and passed below their belly before Zoom furrowed his eyebrows.

The arrow that was suppose to land on the ground changed it's trajectory and flew upwards and passed behind the polar bears.

After the arrow was a few hundred meters behind the polar bears it made a swift u turn and was now on it's way towards the polar bears.

Again the polar bears dodged the arrow, unlike Aizen, Zoom's arrow was slower, it couldn't yet compare to Aizen.

For two minutes Zoom kept guiding his arrow with his mind.

"Add more arrows." Aizen suggested.

And so Zoom sent three more arrows flying.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

While dodging the polar bears looked like they were dancing, the arrows would sometimes cut them but it was to little that is was barely visible.

Just like the bears who were tiring out their stamina Zoom also had a limited amount of mana.

"It's a battle of attrition them, this will be exciting." Aizen giggled as he focused on the scene a few hundred meters away from him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Roar! Swoosh!

Bang!

Finally one of the arrows landed but it only pierced an inch deep which was nothing compared to the large size of the polar bear.

Bang! Bang!

Two more landed which was the same as the first which dealt little to no damage, Zoom's arrows were slower than a newly shot arrow because Zoom didn't use much mana and Zoom had a dwindling supply of mana too.

Conserving much of his mana Zoom's arrows weren't anyway fatal.

Bang!

The finally arrow landed and at this point both Zoom and the polar bear were panting.

Zoom had both his hands on his knees as he breathes heavily.

The two polar bears laid on the snowy ground trying to catch their breath.

[Congratulations! You Have Learned A New Skill Named 'Homing Arrows'!]

[Congratulations! You Have Learned A New Skill Named 'Mana Envelope!]

After much practice the time spent was definitely worthwhile.

[Homing Arrows: When shooting an arrow using mana the arrows are able to chase and follow the target for as long as possible until either it had shot the target or ran out of mana. The damage, speed and duration of the homing arrows depend on the amount of mana used.

No Cooldown.]

[Mana Envelope (Can Be Evolved Once You Reach 200 Mana): Envelope weapons or armour with mana giving them enhancements on either damage or defence.]
