5 minutes earlier…
''Hmm, what's with the commotion over there?'' Winter Snow said internally in her mind.
Winter Snow was looking at the Auction House where the challenge race was located. It was so loud that it caused quite a commotion.
Seeing that something interesting is going on over there, she decided to go.
She then headed over there and saw what was happening. When she arrived there, the entire field of the trial grounds was surrounded by loud cheers and yells. On the trial grounds an assassin was currently running while dodging the bullets that were being shot at him, it was Silent Kill.
The more Winter Snow watched the more her interest was aroused. She thought that the challenge race was amusing so she waited for her turn next and continued to spectate the assassin. But she couldn't help but wonder why there were so many people cheering and yelling loudly at him? But she then shook her head as it was none of her business and she was too lazy to think about him. What's the difference between what kinds of species an ant belongs to anyway? At the end of the day, it's still an ant. She no longer entertained that idea and continued to watch with relish.
The girl's ID name is Winter Snow. She was the beautiful black-haired girl earlier in the challenge field, currently, she was buying some items, herbs and etc. but she happened to pass by the auction house, which caused a commotion in the challenge race, so she entered the auction house and entered the challenged race area section which then intrigued her. This brought us to the current situation today.
…
Seeing the assassin was finished. Winter Snow then hurriedly entered the trial grounds as she saw someone going to the trial grounds other than her. Indeed and it was Lyn the person Winter Snow was referring to. Unfortunately for Lyn, he was a second slower than Winter Snow so he was forced to return as he grumbled internally why he was so slow.
''Hey look a person entered the trial grounds''
''It seems to be a girl''
''Maybe she's here to try her luck''
It immediately caused an uproar in the trial grounds, some were discussing about her, while some disdained her and jeered at her.
Winter Snow immediately became the center of attention on the trial grounds in no time. Of course, Winter Snow didn't bother with the crowd as she was too absorbed in the challenge race.
In the front field, Lyn was observing Winter Snow's actions and was thinking of something. Only God knew what he was thinking about.
The crowd was discussing Winter Snow, they were discussing how many yards can Winter Snow reach, some said she won't be able to pass the 5-yard mark and will be eliminated the moment the NPC will shoot, while some said she will be able to reach the 10-yard mark, while the rest are cheering for her.
Just as their discussions were getting heated the challenge race was about to start.
''Good luck! Do your best beautiful lady.''
''Are you an idiot? She is not just a beautiful lady… she's a Goddess!!''
''Good luck! You can do it''
''…''
The challenge race has started. Winter Snow started running towards the 5-yard mark, at the same time the NPCs also started shooting at her with their musket, but unfortunately, the bullets were unable to hit her as she was too fast and nimble, in just a short time she has already passed the 5-yard mark and is now marching towards the 10-yard mark.
The NPCs who were shooting Winter Snow were shocked, that a mere girl who looks so frail that one slap will kill her was able to dodge all of that, but that was just that, they regained their focus, subsequently another volley of musket shots rang out; a total of six bullets shot toward Winter Snow's path. Several green lines indicating the trajectory of the bullets covered Winter Snow's body. Winter Snow would become a sieve if her reactions were not keen.
Just as the bullets were about to hit, Winter Snow dodged to the right with a sidestep. She rushed forward once more, after avoiding the second volley of shots.
Bullet casings fell to the ground consistently as the three NPCs continued to aim and shoot. However, Winter Snow avoided them with the vigor of a leopard, every single time. The way she stayed a step ahead of the bullets made it seem as if she had control over them.
''It can't be. She's already at the 15-yard mark.'' Seeing Winter Snow taking less than fifteen seconds to reach the 15-yard mark, the spectators watching Winter Snow were dumbstruck by what was happening in the challenge race.
Even Silent Kill can't help but admit that he's much inferior to the swordsman in the challenge race.
Lyn however wasn't as flustered as everyone else, he just felt shocked, but he quickly regained the calm on his face as it isn't really that much of a big deal.
Or so that was what he thought.
But everyone wasn't as ignorant as Lyn as they completely knew how hard it was to reach the 15-yard mark as they had experienced it themselves firsthand. Not to even mention the 15-yard mark the moment they reached the 10-yard mark they were immediately eliminated.
So the whole audience erupted in cheers.
While some were astonished and shocked, while others were feeling inferior that they can't even reach a distance a 'mere' girl can.
But they still cheered for her nonetheless.
Now that she managed to reach the 15-yard mark they were waiting to see if she could overturn their opinions again or to be exact, slap their face once again.
