198 Archery
“Yeah, a country bumpkin who doesn’t know anything about sportsmanship. He only got good results by pushing and shoving his classmates while running. How shameless.” Li Rong said with a disdainful expression.
“He can only get a good grade if he also gets high marks in his elective.” Li Cheng added.
At this point, Sun Bin suddenly remembered that he and Qiao Yue had both chosen archery as their elective.
Sun Bin ignored Li Rong and Li Cheng and walked up to Qiao Yue. “Although you ran faster than me, I won’t give you a chance to beat me at archery.”
Qiao Yue was calm and composed at the moment, not looking at all like she had just finished a one-kilometer run. She nodded and said, “Sure, I look forward to your results.”
As for the Li brothers who had just mocked her, she didn’t even spare them a glance. Ignoring people like them would annoy them more than talking to them.
After the physical tests, all the boys looked at the big screen. The first place on screen was none other than Qiao Yue!
Qiao Yue’s long jump achievement was 2.5 meters, his running time was three minutes, and his shot put score was the highest among all of them.
Xu Hao nudged Qiao Yue with his elbow. “Not bad, kid. If I wasn’t so tall, I’d definitely do as well.”
Qiao Yue looked at Xu Hao speechlessly. This stupid giant completed his one kilometer run in five minutes…
The girls at the side also looked over curiously. When they saw that Qiao Yue was in first place, they also began to discuss.
“This Qiao Yue isn’t good at his studies, but he’s good at sports.”
One of the girls added, “Yeah, he’s good at sports. No wonder, since he’s from the countryside. He’s been running and jumping in the mountains since young.”
“I guess his fitness level is good. He definitely won’t do as well in his elective.”
“Yeah. He chose archery and archery is not like shooting birds with a slingshot in the mountains. He won’t get good results without training.” Qiao Xin mocked. She didn’t believe that Qiao Yue would do well.
As the crowd discussed animatedly, Qiao Yue sauntered to the archery range.
She picked up the bow and arrow and checked the feel.
Sun Bin saw her walking to the archery range and quickly chased after her. He crossed his arms and watched Qiao Yue’s performance.
“I’ve been learning archery since young. You’re definitely going to lose this round!”
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows. “You’re so confident?”
Seeing Qiao Yue’s disbelieving look, Sun Bin’s anger from losing the race surged. “Since you don’t believe me, let’s have a match. Five arrows, moving targets, whoever gets the highest score wins!”
Qiao Yue had practiced archery for a long time, and she specialized in moving targets. She had even trained for distances over a few hundred meters. The 50-meter distance in this test was a piece of cake for her.
Qiao Yue agreed tacitly to Sun Bin’s rules and raised her hand to shoot her first arrow.
Accuracy wasn’t the only thing that mattered in a moving target competition. If one hit the bullseye before the moving target reached the end of the track, one’s score would increase accordingly.
If one hit the target when it was at the edge of the track, one would get the highest score.
Li Rong and Li Cheng saw that the match was about to begin and came over.
“Look at him, still putting on an act. Better not miss the target when he shoots.”
“They are actually competing with moving targets. Really overestimating themselves.”
The brothers, Li Rong and Li Cheng, kept talking Qiao Yue down. However, before they could finish their disparaging words, the results for Qiao Yue’s first arrow were out.
“Qiao Yue 10 points, full marks for distance!”
Everyone’s jaw dropped.
This country bumpkin actually got a perfect score. Although the students at Harvey were brilliant, not many could get a perfect score when shooting a moving target. This level of excellence should be more than enough for any sports meet, right?
Qiao Yue looked at Sun Bin and handed the bow and arrow to him. “It’s your turn.”
Sun Bin was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. Although he was also good at archery, he wasn’t at the level where he could get full marks for distance.
He drew his bow nervously and shot his first arrow.
“Sun Bin, 10 points, and 90 points for distance.”
The surrounding crowd didn’t say anything. Qiao Yue’s archery skills were too terrifying.
The two of them then shot their remaining four arrows. Qiao Yue got perfect scores for all of them.
Sun Bin looked at Qiao Yue in disbelief. The Li brothers were also stunned.
“Alright, let’s compete again in the next test.” Qiao Yue threw the bow and arrow to Sun Bin. She scored full marks for all five shots. Even if Sun Bin scored full marks for his last shot, he would not be able to beat her.
