I Was So Weak

The day changed, early in the morning, Jim had woken up from his dream. He woke up. Then he straightened his body while flexing his muscles. He got up from his bed.

He walked towards the window not far from his sleeping bed. With a sleepy face, he forced his body to walk.

When he reached the window, his right hand opened the curtains. The sky was still dark, but the sun's rays were visible in the east, even though only a little.

"It's dawn, huh .." Jim spoke while yawning, looking he was still very sleepy. But he ignored it.

He walked towards the exit of his room, he took the plain T-shirt that Uncle Merton gave that was hanging on the hook behind the door. He took off the white shirt he slept on and put it on the hook behind the door. Then the plain brown T-shirt that Uncle Merton had given him was put on. The plain brown t-shirt is a little looser.

Then Jim picked up the black long-sleeved vest that was also hanging from the back hook of the door. He covered his plain brown shirt with the long vest. Perhaps it was because the morning air was still cold, so Jim wore the black vest.

Jim walked again to the right of his bed. There was a small square wooden table. He walked over to the table. Then he took Ghizzel's bow and some arrows that were lying on the wooden table. He put the quiver behind his shoulder. And he carried the bow.

Then Jim opened the door to his room and came out of the room slowly. His room was opposite Agacia's. So, when he opened the door, the first thing he saw was the door to Agacia's bedroom.

Jim occupies the guest room which is currently empty. The room is on the second floor. Likewise, Agacia's room is on the second floor. Meanwhile, Ayabelle shares a room with Agacia.

Uncle Merton's house was not very luxurious, although it was small, it had two floors and was enough to provide a comfortable place to live for his family.

Merton's suite was downstairs. He slept there alone because his wife died when Agacia was a child. He was alone taking care of Agacia until she grew up like now. But uncle Merton did not sleep at home most nights because he went fishing at midnight.

Jim also crept out of the room and down the stairs. He didn't want Agacia or Ayabelle to be disturbed in their sleep.

Jim went to the door and went out of the house. It seemed that he didn't want Agacia or Ayabelle to know him when he left.

Jim continued south. Until he went a little further, he found a rather broad grassy field. And also there were several large rocks and small trees.

"Maybe this is a suitable place". Jim muttered to himself after seeing the place. Then he stopped.

Jim began to draw three circles on the small tree and the large rock in front of him.

Jim used that as an archery target.

It turned out that Jim intended to hone his skills to play arrows. Jim retrained his body to be strong.

Even though Jim in his previous life never even held a bow, it was because he had memories of the body in this world before. So that Jim can use his archery skills based on the memories from his previous body.

Jim began to step back a hundred steps, or about 50 meters from the tree in front of him.

Jim also took his bow, he took an arrow that was on his back. He also put the arrow down and pulled the bow's spring. He tried to aim at the tree that had been drawn in the three circles. Jim took the wood so seriously that he closed one eye to focus more on the aim.

When Jim feel the shot has been right on target. Jim also took a deep breath and then held it. While holding his breath, Jim released the arrow. The spring of the bow shot the arrow at high speed. The arrow shot far towards the tree. Until not one second, the arrow stuck into the tree.

Amazingly Jim. The arrow stuck right at the centre point of the circle. Jim was right on that point. Jim remains a target. It turned out that his arrow skills did not fade. Jim also smiled at the results of his shot.

Jim also stepped back another 100 steps, this time the distance between Jim and the tree was at least 100 meters.

He took another arrow. Before firing another arrow, he used the arrow to make an x-like line on the ground he was now standing on. He made a mark that the line was 100 meters from the wood. Maybe to make it easier for Jim to practice.

Jim also pulled back the spring. He aimed again at the circle drawn on the tree. As previously. He aimed right at the centre of the circle.

Jim took a deep breath as before. The way to target the tree is the same as he did before. When he held his breath, he released the arrow. And the arrow went fast towards the tree.

And cool, Jim can do it. He managed to target the centre point of the circle image on the tree. The arrow that had just shot stuck right next to the first arrow. Jim smiled again.

However, Jim was not complacent. He went back and stepped his feet back even further. He took 200 steps back and forth. Now it was about 200 meters between the tree and Jim. This time Jim was a little far away.

Jim went back to picking up the arrows and doing what he had done before. That is to make a mark where he is standing now.

Jim went back to testing his arrow skills. He took another arrow. And he aimed quickly. He released his arrow. The arrow rushed towards the tree. And, it turns out that a distance of about 200 meters is not difficult for Jim. Again, he managed to land an arrow right in the centre of the circle.

Jim does have high arrow skills. He is very good at aiming and archery.

Jim was still not satisfied with that. He also returned to take the arrow on his back. This time there was not just one, but he took three arrows at once. He intends to target the circle image with three arrows at once

He also began to pull the string of his bow with the three arrows. Even now he is shooting the tree with his eyes closed.

He also fired the three arrows. Quickly, the three arrows hit the target. The three of them succeeded in hitting the centre point of the circle image.

After shooting three arrows with both eyes closed, Jim opened his eyes slowly. He smiled again when he saw that the three arrows were still targets.

“Amazing, this body is very good at archery skills,” Jim muttered praising his body.

Jim also tried again to shoot at the target with a further distance. He stepped back a few hundred steps so that the distance between the tree and himself was about 300 meters. And it marks back it's footing with a line.

He also began to take three arrows at once. He returned to aiming the circle on the tree which was full of arrows before.

He pulled the string on his bow. And draw it with three arrows.

But this time he aimed earnestly. Finally, he shot the three arrows in a hurry.

The arrow shot out fast. But what happened was that two of the three arrows missed, not hitting the tree.

Meanwhile, another one managed to stick it in the circle, even though it was not right in the middle, but on the edge of the circle. Almost close to the circle line.

"So this is my limit". Jim muttered after seeing the results of his last shot. It turned out that only 300 meters were the limit for his shooting. He also did not feel complacent.

Then from a distance of 300 meters, he continued to do his skill. He aimed at the tree many times so that his archery skills increased even more.

When Jim's hand was about to take the arrow on his back, it turned out that the arrows he had provided had run out. He had brought all the arrows before.

But at that time, he was lightened by the new skills he had. When before he and Ayabelle free fall into the cliff. Before that he bought a skill at the shop in his system window. Namely, he has fire elemental magic skills.

But at that time, his new fire elemental skill was completely useless. Because he lacked experience and didn't know about practising fire magic.

Jim put down Ghizzel's bow he was holding onto his back. He now walked over to the large rock he had previously drawn a circle to.

Jim is now right by the boulder. "Alright, I'll try it". Said Jim who intends to launch fire attacks towards the rock.

Jim started to raise his right hand, he turned his right palm towards the big rock.

Jim began to concentrate on doing his magic.

"Fire magic"

Little fire magic shot out from his palm and hit the boulder. However, the magic was too weak, even so very weak, there was no trace of the attack on the stone. Jim's attack did not affect them.

"Huh…" Jim was annoyed, his magic was very weak because Jim still didn't have much experience with magic. The magic he cast was the same as when he attacked Schlanger's subordinates who were besieging him on the edge of the cliff. Very very weak.

"I have to train it again" Jim did not give up, he still did his fire magic towards the stone. He kept trying the magic many times.

However, there were no significant results. There is no progress whatsoever. Never mind the magic developing. The magic alone did not break the stone.

"I was so weak," Jim began to feel frustrated. Jim tried many times, still, nothing changed. The magic he casts is still weak.

Even though he had bought a fire element guide book, the magic he could use was limited to this, only fire magic which was very, very weak.

Frustrated, Jim took a break, then he sat on the grass near the rock.

He returned to ponder over himself who was so weak.

"How could I beat Neiter? Whereas I was so weak". Jim blamed himself for being so weak.
