Chapter 829 - Training
"Go!"
Theo's expression became serious as soon as he heard that word. He spread his Awareness around and took a look at his surroundings.
Suddenly, a bow appeared out of thin air and released an arrow within two seconds. The arrow flew toward his head at an average speed.
But with Theo's current strength, he effortlessly avoided the arrow.
After that, two more bows appeared on his back and his right at the same time.
Utilizing his Sense of Touch, he spun his body while waving his hand, knocking both arrows with his fists.
"…" Theo frowned when he felt a sensation when touching the arrow. The pain felt as though he was pierced by that arrow instead of knocking it away.
"The arrow felt weird."
As soon as he said those words, Master Greg immediately replied. "Ah, that, we are still working on it. Although the pain is not at the level of getting pierced, it still feels like it's going through your hand. Though, the arrow illusion has gone according to the system. We've created a system that calculates your movement and angle to predict the movement of the real arrow."
"I see." Theo nodded.
"Alright. Shall we continue? Is there any problem? If not, we can start level 2."
"I don't have any problem." Theo acknowledged his condition and became focused again. "By the way, can I destroy the bow?"

"Not in particular. In the future, we would like to make it in this situation. In fact, this concept has been taken by virtual reality… It's just we want you to train with your real body with this simulation room since a few things can't be digitized. Hopefully, we can create a fully functional virtual system with this in the future."
Theo nodded while listening to him. "Alright. Let's start."
"Okay."
As soon as Greg raised the difficulty level, three bows appeared in three different directions. They released their arrows in rapid succession.
Theo took a step to the right and avoided all those arrows. However, he soon found a snake leaping out of the sand, trying to bite him.
But Theo's hand actually went to the back instead. It turned out another snake was coming from behind and was much closer because he had moved to the right earlier.
Theo grabbed the snake's head and smashed the other snake with a simple swing, throwing both snakes in the same direction.
After that, he saw the bows releasing their arrows again, so Theo ducked down, avoiding them.
This kind of movement would certainly make an Elite Rank Expert have some sort of trouble, especially if they needed to continue for a few hours.
But as a Supreme Rank Expert, he would be embarrassed if he got troubled with something like this.
"Still, I can feel the snakes…" Theo recalled the feeling when he was squeezing the snake's body.
"It's the illusion."
"Understood. Let's continue."
"Okay, raising it to level 3."

Theo nodded and looked to the front, finding three bows and four snakes ready to strike him. With his Awareness, he could sense a few other presences as well.
A few snakes leaped first, trying to bite him. With a calm face, Theo took two steps to the left and waved his right hand, blowing the last snake.
After that, he tilted his body to the front and avoided two arrows before leaping two feet above the ground since a few arrows also attacked his feet.
Seeing the arrows planted on the ground, Theo stomped them without hesitation. Then, he spun his body and took two steps to the right, returning to his original position.
He kept dodging the arrows and snakes effortlessly. But since this was a champion level rank, it was to be expected.
Theo also passed level 4 created for Hero Rank Expert.
Now that his body had gotten used to the illusion, he began to react faster.
There wasn't a change of expression in Theo's face this whole time, even though he had felt pain from the arrows when brushing them. It invited Greg's praise since not many could withstand this pain, especially someone who knew nothing about this beforehand.
Theo didn't answer him. He simply continued dodging or deflecting anything coming to him.
After five minutes, Greg finally raised it to the next level.
"From now on, it's going to be level 5, which is built for Supreme Rank Expert. There are a total of 4 levels and if I see you're in danger, I'll stop at that level. Okay?"
"Got it." Theo nodded while scanning the sand. "By the way, you're not going to change the terrain?"
"Changing the terrain means a different attack pattern and a smaller circle. I'm going to adjust your level first before changing it."
"Oh." Theo agreed with his explanation and fell silent.
This time, there were a total of twenty bows and fifty snakes that were going to attack him in succession. He needed to avoid all of them.
As soon as it started, twenty arrows flew forward, and another ten flew to the sky. With an attack like this, Theo had no way to calculate everything.
Theo took a deep breath and let his instinct take care of this while his brain continued looking for the arrows with the help of the Awareness.
Theo stepped forward, spun, raised the left foot, and even slid to the right to avoid the arrows.
His movement was smooth and precise.
The more arrows coming to him, the sharper his movement.
Greg was impressed by his movement, while Maya thought this was to be expected. She simply wanted to see how long Theo could last in this place.
Theo continued moving with small steps to avoid all the arrows and snakes for one minute before a bow capable of releasing two arrows simultaneously appeared.
The arrow was so close that Theo could deflect both of them in a single attack, but when all the bows released two arrows at one time, something was bound to be wrong.
As expected, after another few shots, there was an arrow that actually traveled right behind the first arrow, so when Theo blew away the first one, the other arrow was still coming at him.
'Ah?' Theo widened his eyes and realized there was one arrow getting through his defense and flying straight to his chest.
*Thud!*
