“Should I purchase multiple copies of the lowest grade? Or maybe the low grade… It might be okay to buy them… but let’s check first. Show me the lowest grade.”

[Lowest Grade: Bamien Archery Book, Jenniwax Archery Book, Hans Archery Book….]

“Let’s start with Bamien.” Sᴇaʀᴄh the n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Since he knew nothing about archery, he had no choice but to examine them one by one.

[Bamien Archery Book: Lowest grade archery book that includes basic archery and breath control technique] [80G]

“It’s similar to swordsmanship. But… breath control is considered a skill?”

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed with the first archery book he checked.

To think that one of the skills included was breath control. If he learned that, would he be able to hold his breath longer?

He couldn’t understand why such a useless skill was necessary for shooting a bow.

“Well… the others should be fine. Let’s check the Jenniwax Archery Book.”

[Jenniwax Archery Book: Lowest grade archery book that includes basic archery and focus technique] [90G]

“…?”

Do I have to use my precious G just to learn a technique like focus?

“Focus…! It’s such a basic skill.”

Even when swinging a sword, focus was required to aim at the desired target. The same applied to using other weapons like spears, shields, and maces. It was common sense that a certain level of focus was needed when using various weapons.

But to see that the skill attached to the archery book was focus.

“…Does it have some special function that I’m not aware of?”

It would be nice to have a preview or explanation of the skills, but unfortunately, the player system wasn’t that helpful.

He could only confirm the skills attached to the archery book by purchasing it.

“Alright, let’s check the low grade. The low grade should be different.”

[Low Grade: Raphiel Archery Book, Rosemary Archery Book, Julian Archery Book….]

“Raphiel Archery Book.”

[Raphiel Archery Book: Low-grade archery book that includes archery and breath control technique] [350G]

The lowest grade and low grade were indeed different.

First, there was no mention of the word “basic” in front of archery, and the price jumped as if it was a joke, even up to crazy amounts!

But why?

“Breath control technique…”

The only thing he could slightly guess from the lowest-grade swordsmanship book was that the skill he learned was ranked as D, just like the penetrating stab skill he learned on the battlefield was ranked as C. There seemed to be a difference in rankings.

The problem was why the skill attached to it was breath control.

“Should I check other… other archery books?”

“Sigh…”

He had made up his mind to spend G boldly.

Since the player system had never disappointed him so far, it should be okay to trust and spend G. However, the probability of using archery in Panielun was low, and he would most likely go back to using a sword in the future.

So if he was going to learn it once, he should learn the most efficient archery with as little G as possible.

“Breath control… Should I learn it for now? It came up twice, so maybe it’s a better skill than I thought.”

There were only two options available to him at the moment.

The first option was to learn archery properly and make the most of it in Panielun.

The second option was to invest all G into swordsmanship without learning archery and waste the remaining 10 days.

Even if the monster wave ended, he had planned to hunt monsters, so he thought he had plenty of time for the second option to be efficient. However, the fact that he couldn’t level up immediately bothered him a bit.

“If it comes to that, I will have to give up my immediate goals…”

In order to achieve his goal of becoming stronger than a knight before the war ended, he couldn’t afford to waste time aimlessly.

He needed to continue hunting monsters, raising his level and Aura. But wasting 10 days? That’s practically the same as giving up on his goal.

He tightly closed his eyes, cursing Tarien, the culprit behind all of this.

“…Fine! Let’s learn. Purchase Raphiel’s Archery Book.”

Although he could browse other archery books and learn different techniques, he quickly purchased Raphiel’s Archery Book, which was at the forefront of the lower-level list, for fear that his determined mind would waver.

Ding! [Archery skills have been created.]

[Beginner Archery Skills have been created.]

[Breath Control Skill has been created.]

“Great. Huh?”

Notifications kept ringing repeatedly. But there was one strange thing.

“…Why are they beginner-level skills?”

Even though he had purchased a lower-level archery book, the skills that were created were beginner-level.

In fact, this was his first time purchasing a lower-level book, so he wasn’t a hundred percent sure. He just speculated that since the lowest grade gave him a D-grade skill, the lower level would give him a C-grade skill.

“This is odd. When I bought the lowest-level swordsmanship book, the grade itself increased.”

Ding! [Beginner Archery (D): Applies when wielding a bow, increases attack power by 10%, and allows for smoother use of the bow.]

The effect and grade were both the same as D-grade swordsmanship. The only difference was that it involved a bow instead of a sword.

In that case, was there a reason for him to spend 350G to learn lower-level archery? Even if he learned the lowest level, wouldn’t he receive the basic archery skill?

“Tarien… you bastard…”

As he realized the significant loss, seething anger bubbled up from within him.

The target of his fiery anger was Tarien, who was sleeping comfortably in the barracks on the second floor.

“Not just 35G, but a whopping 350G…”

Even in the slightly familiar Gami-an Plain, he could barely earn 50G a day. Could he really make a decent amount of G in Panielun with beginner-level archery? And that too with a skill he had never used before? Logically, compensating for a loss of 350G with beginner-level archery was an impossible task.

“Now that it has come to this… even if there are more expenses, I’ll make sure to plunder them properly in Panielun. Including that Tarien bastard! shop.”

Was it because he was halfway losing his sanity due to his burning anger?

If he had been in a clear state of mind, he would never do what he is about to do…
