Chapter-7
[The day before the test.]
Ted: "This is the last day for you to practise to hit the target."
Blake: "Sir, yesterday, the whole night I was training, and finally I could hit a target."
Ted: "Oh, good, then we will try it out."
[Ted starts to train Blake, and Blake is sometimes hitting the target but also missing.]
Ted: How do I train this fellow?
[They continued until evening, and Blake could hit most of the targets but not all. Next day.]
Blake: Today is the test day.
Scott: "Blake, ready for the test?"
Blake: "Yeah."
Scott: "Come, let's go to Jane."
Blake: "You go to her. I will meet Mr.Ted and join you guys."
Scott: "Sure, come fast."
[Blake goes to Ted.]
Blake: "Sir, today is the test day."
Ted: "Yeah, I know, don't forget to use the technique I taught you."
Blake: "Ok, sir."
[There are tears in Blake's eyes.]
Ted: "Why are you crying?"
Blake: "I am gonna miss you, sir."
Ted: "I will also miss you-."
[Blake goes to Ted and hugs him and starts crying.]
Ted: "Blake, it's not like I am gonna die, right? We can meet whenever you want to meet me, or if you want to talk, you can contact me through telepathy."
Blake: "Ok, sir."
[Blake leaves him and wipes his eyes.]
Blake: "Bye, sir."
Ted: "Bye, see you soon."
[Blake leaves the place and goes to Scott and Jane.]
Jane: "Hey, Blake, why are you sad?"
Blake: "Who told you that I am sad?, I am alright."
Jane: "You don't look that way."
Blake: "I am fine."
Announcer 1: ..Students, assemble at the training grounds for passing out basic class assemble at training grounds..
Blake: "Come, let's go."
[Blake, Jane and Scott are in training grounds.]
Examiner 1: ..Hi students, I am your examiner. I am going to tell you about your test's rules, but first let's divide into groups..
[All students divide into groups.]
Examiner 1: ..Good, today's rules are that each group will be assigned a colour and there will be 10 light deers with their horn painted in the respective colour, and out of 10, you at least need to kill 6 to pass the test. If you kill a deer of the other team, the point will be counted as theirs; these are the rules. Give me the names of each team, and in an hour, we will post the colour on the notice board. The test is tonight..
[Everyone goes to Examiner 1 and tells their team name.]
Blake: It is good that Mr.Ted taught me to shoot at night, but still, I didn't master it. I could only hit some targets tonight. I don't want to disappoint my team.
[After an hour.]
Scott: "Come, let's go to the notice board."
[All three go to the notice board.]
Blake: "There are already so many people seeing their team colours, where will we go?"
[After some time, the crowd was almost cleared.]
Blake: "Come, we will go check."
[They went near the notice board and searched for their team's colour.]
Scott & Jane: "Whattttttttt!!!!!!"
[Blake smiles.]
Blake: Why should this only happen to me? The test is at night, and my team colour is black.
Scott: "What should we do?"
Blake: "We will go to Mr. Ted and ask him"
[All three go to Ted and explain to him their situation.]
Ted: "Do you know why people call those types of deer lightning deer?"
Jane: "Because of their speed."
Ted: "Yes, that is not the only reason, though. Their eyes glow in the dark, so you only see 2 lights, which you should hit. There is a chance it is yours and you see 2 lights and no colour on head, then mostly it is yours, so take the hit."
Blake: "Thanks, sir, bye."
Ted: "All the best, bye."
[The test was about to start.]
Examiner 1: ..Students, be careful while hunting, all the best..
[Test started.]
Blake: For the first time, I am tense. Cooldown or the arrows will be wasted.
[Blake killed 5 deer in 2 hours but did not find others.]
Blake: Only one more is left, and we can leave.
[A light deer runs, and by the time Blake hits it, the deer hits Jane and runs away.]
Blake: "Jane, are you fine?"
Jane: "No, I think I have a fracture."
Blake: "Scott, take her out, I will complete the test."
[Jane and Scott leave.]
Blake: I need to complete this and go fast.
[From behind, a light deer runs towards Blake to hit him, but he hears the sound and uses a tree trunk as his ramp and jumps into the air, and shoots an arrow.]
Blake: I need to report to the examiner.
[Blake goes back to the examiner.]
Blake: "Sir, my team completed the game, team 7."
Examiner 1: ..I saw the last deer you killed. It was good. Tell me your teammates' names and the weapons they learn..
Blake: "Scott - Magical staff
Jane - Sword
Blake - Spear."
