Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 47 Other People's Children

"The qualifying test requires an 18-meter target. Start by practicing with a 10-meter target. Once you're comfortable with it, gradually increase the distance... Place the arrow on the arrow rest. Yes, right here, with the main feathers facing inward..."

Inside the archery hall, Song Wenjing instructed Yang Xu on how to draw the bow and nock the arrow. Starting from the most basic stance, to nocking the arrow, aiming, and releasing it, step by step, Song Wenjing meticulously taught every detail with utmost seriousness.

Yang Xu, feeling guilty for leaving her out for the entire morning, and also out of a sense of responsibility for his career as an administrator, studied very seriously. He followed her instructions carefully, completing each step, and finally, he drew his bow, nocked his arrow, and shot!

The first arrow hit the target wood, quite crooked. Song Wenjing carefully corrected his movements, making him keep the arrow parallel to the shooting direction and the bow arm.

I tried the second arrow again, and the arrow had already firmly hit the target. Then I slowly adjusted the crosshairs and let the arrow slowly move towards the center of the target.

At this time, Yang Xu's strong learning ability began to show. After practicing more than ten arrows, he could almost guarantee that most of the time he would hit the target, and the average number of rings was also steadily improving.

The two practiced for about an hour, and then several girls from the archery team came in one after another, chatting and laughing, picked up their bows from the equipment room, and walked to the formal venue on the other side.

When passing by the novice target, one of the girls waved over and said hello: "Sister Jing, are you teaching the newbies?"

"Yeah." Song Wenjing raised her hand and responded muffledly, as if she had transformed into her usual Yang Xu, looking like she didn't want to attract attention.

As a result, the girl's voice attracted the attention of others, and they immediately noticed the two people in the corner.

"Huh? Sister Jing is here too!"

"What does the Minister do?"

"who is this?"

"Looks like a boy?"

"Boy, is this true?"

……

The girls suddenly started chattering as if they had discovered a new world, and Song Wenjing was overwhelmed.

"Who is this person? He needs Minister Song to teach him personally? Let me take a look."

One of the girls seemed to be very familiar with Song Wenjing, and she came over first with a teasing smile.

The other girls also followed and moved in unison, circling in front of the two men and glancing at Yang Xu's face.

"Oh……"

Several girls uttered long words at the same time, and each of them had an expression of "as expected" on their faces. Then they gathered together and whispered to each other, glancing in the direction of the two people from time to time, with ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Song Wenjing tried hard to remain calm and pretended not to see these people.

"Sister Jing, is it enough for you to teach by yourself? Do you need our help?" one of the girls asked.

"Well, no need, I can do it myself, you guys go and have fun." Song Wenjing said hurriedly.

"Oh, you're quite protective of your food..." Several girls laughed together.

"Get out!" Song Wenjing couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked quickly towards the few people and waved her hands to drive them away.

Several girls said, "We won't bother you anymore," and dispersed with laughter.

Song Wenjing returned with a blush still on her face. She looked at Yang Xu, who was stringing an arrow and said, "Ignore those gossipers. Practice seriously and don't get distracted."

"I've been practicing all the time." Yang Xu wondered, who was distracted... Then Song Wenjing accompanied Yang Xu to practice at this novice target position. After shooting ten arrows, he would rest for a few minutes, listen to Song Wenjing explain some key points, analyze the target paper, correct the movements, and then continue to the next group. After the number of targets was qualified, he would slowly extend the range from ten meters to eighteen meters.

After practicing for two hours, Yang Xu had mastered both the movements and the technical essentials.

In the middle, the two of them went to the cafeteria to have a meal and came back to continue training in the afternoon.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xu was able to hit the target continuously from the training target position, and the number of rings was not too bad.

If other archery coaches saw that someone who had just touched a bow for the first time and had only practiced for a few hours could shoot to this level, they would definitely be shocked.

Song Wenjing, who had been watching his progress throughout, wasn't too surprised. Instead, she looked as if it was just as she expected. She had long known that getting started wouldn't be a problem for Yang Xu.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, after Yang Xu shot three ten-ring arrows and two nine-ring arrows in a row.

After reading the target paper, Song Wenjing nodded in satisfaction: "Well, not bad. Although it's not stable yet, if I continue to practice for a few weeks, I can already make it to the main competition."

"How about it? Are you interested in joining me to win an award? It can add several credits!" Song Wenjing came back with the target paper, raised it, and tried to seduce Yang Xu.

"Forget it. We agreed that I would only help you pass the qualifying round." Yang Xu refused without hesitation.

"I really don't understand you. You hide your weaknesses and control your scores every day. What's the point of doing this?" Song Wenjing muttered.

She was one of the people who understood Yang Xu best, yet she was also the one he'd hurt the most. It could be said that she'd been abused by Yang Xu's genius since she was little, in every way. No matter what he taught her, Yang Xu was always faster than her. Even if Song Wenjing felt like she was desperately trying to catch up, she still couldn't.

The key is that this guy likes to hide. It's okay if he likes to hide, but he doesn't hide in front of her, which is the most infuriating thing. In the eyes of others, Song Wenjing is a top student, a versatile person, and the "other people's child", but when it comes to being hit by other people's children, who can feel it more deeply than her?

"You don't understand. This is called the wisdom of the mean. It's philosophy." Yang Xu smiled.

Song Wenjing rolled her eyes. "Alright, great philosopher, that's all for today."

"Ah, are you leaving now?" Yang Xu, who had just picked up the bow, was stunned.

"What's the matter? Are you addicted to studying?" Song Wenjing looked over with interest.

Yang Xu looked away. "Uh, I heard you guys are competing in mobile shooting. Don't you need to practice that?"

He came to practice archery, in large part for actual combat, but who would stand still for you to shoot in actual combat? Only shooting while moving could be considered truly practical.

"You...don't underestimate archery!" Song Wenjing looked at him strangely. "You're just getting started, not even an expert. Mobile shooting requires a solid foundation of basic skills. You should practice the basics first."

"Oh."

Yang Xu was confused and felt that he was impressive. After all, he was not as good as Song Wenjing, an expert in this area.

"Take this card. You can come here to practice when you have nothing to do. Just don't get too rusty." Song Wenjing handed him a card. It was the access card for the school's archery hall. You can enter the hall at any time by swiping the card.

Song Wenjing said hello and went back first, while Yang Xu stayed in the archery hall to continue practicing for a while until the hall closed.

I got home at six o'clock and QQ messages flashed on my phone.

When he opened it, he saw that Song Wenjing had sent him a file package with the file name "Collection of Mobile Shooting Training Essentials".

There are dozens of videos and documents in it, covering the key points of all aspects of mobile shooting, from entry-level to in-depth, and the content is from shallow to deep, even the order is arranged, which is obviously carefully organized.
