Seiya - Learning Curve

He then turns to Elulu, who is standing behind him.

“You know how to use Fire Arrow, right?”

“Y-yep!”

“Teach me. Right now.”

“N-now?!  I  know  you’re  talented,  but  I  don’t  think  it’s  something  you  can easily learn! It took me about a year!”

“Just teach me. We don’t have time.”

“O-okay. First, extend your left hand...then imagine that the fire magic coming out of it symbolizes a bow...”

Elulu lets out a dry chuckle as she gives instruction.

“Don’t  worry  about  not  being  able  to  do  it  at  first.  It’s  normal.  But  after practicing hundreds, thousands of times, I’m sure you’ll be able to—”

“Like this?”

However, a fiery bow is already materializing in Seiya’s left hand.

“...Huh?”

Elulu’s eyes open wide.

“B-but  this  is  where  things  get  difficult!  Next,  you  need  to  materialize  an arrow in your right— No way?!”

Seiya holds an arrow made out of fire in his right hand as he pulls back the fiery bowstring.

“B-b-but this is really, really where things get difficult! I’m sure you won’t be able to shoot the arrow even one meter, but don’t let that get you down. You just—”

Seiya aims the fire arrow into the sky and releases. It soars into the heavens before disappearing into the great blue yonder.

“H-h-hitting your target is really what’s difficult, though. Even I still can’t—”

The next arrow Seiya shoots hits a narrow tree, a few dozen meters ahead, right in the trunk, causing it to catch fire.

“I hit my target. This is easy.”
