While Perseus was fighting the dolls, Arjuna had arrived at the archer training center. Each class had its own training center. The biggest one which was the swordsmen center, or commonly known as the main training center where all the physical classes trained.

The exact same episode happened in the archery training center, the person who attempted the trial was a lean blond-haired girl that reminded Arjuna of an elf.

The trial for the archery center was to shoot the targets on the head of the iron dolls before they got close to you and beat you up. The iron dolls would dodge and sometimes raise their arms to block the incoming arrows.

The elf looking girl aimed and was only able to get one target before being completely swarmed by the last 4 iron dolls. After being mercilessly beaten the girl threw down her bow in frustration and left to gain more levels, again she was followed by all of the people in the center as they all knew they stood no chance.

Arjuna stood, silently judging the girl for damaging her bow and observed all of the people who left. Only a few of them stood out, but that was for later.

The training instructor who was in charge of the dolls sighed in sadness. The batch of newcomers had given up on the first try. It seems like none of them had the talent to be an archer.

He sat down and started to string a bow he had placed next to the wooden stump that was acting as his seat. That was when he was approached by a black-haired boy. He had an intense gaze that looked like he was looking much farther into the world than others.

He walked up to the instructor

"I would like to challenge the iron doll test"

The instructor was flabbergasted

"Are you sure? it's only for the experienced and besides, you saw what happened to the people before you"

Arjuna responded without emotion,

"yes, but I can do it, so please let me do it"

The instructor seeing that there was no way to convince him, nodded and guided him to the starting marker.

Arjuna equipped his bow and quiver, they were crappy beginners weapons but Arjuna was confident in his skills.

The instructor started the trial and all 5 of the dolls leaped toward Arjuna all of them in a humanoid position of running with their heads being bent forward and their arms pumping hard.

Unlike the dolls in the main training center which were big and bulky. The dolls in the archery center were the size of a human and were swift and agile.

Arjuna pulled back on his bow his eyes holding a clear glint, his first arrow flew and it stuck the target of the doll in the front.

The other dolls were already halfway to him, he only had time to notch another arrow before they arrived at his location. Two of the dolls jumped toward him, one leaped for his legs intending to tackle him and the other jumping toward his head pulling back its arm for a punch.

Arjuna shifted his foot and jumped in the gap of the dolls attack or where his torso was. He jumped through them and the dolls missed magnificently. While Arjuna was in mid-air he rotated himself so that his drawn bow was aiming for the doll that had missed his head. He let it go and it flew true to its target, the doll collapsed and fell on its fellow comrade.

Arjuna swiftly grabbed an arrow from his quiver and stabbed the trapped doll's target. Two swift punches hit him immediately after he stabbed the trapped doll. One on his back and the other on his side.

He flew a few feet away but he landed on his feet with his bow drawn this time with two arrows notched in his bow.

The last two dolls fell without another move and Arjuna had won.

The instructor gazed at the back of Arjuna, who had forgotten the instructor even existed. He saw the name that was carved into the wall next to the trial.
