I Became a Part-time Employee For Gods Chapter 36

#36. I became an archery genius!

Apollo’s archery lessons were surprisingly strict.

I always thought he was just showing off and talking off, but when he was holding a bow, he was more serious than ever.

[You must hold your breath when pulling the bowstring. [With the feeling that all time has stopped.]

Shoot! Shoot!

Apollo’s bowstring is pulled slowly to the sound of the waves.

Grrrrrrrrr!

Because it was a bow as big as Apollo’s height, Damdeok could not help but be amazed.

‘It seems the God of Archery is the God of Archery.’

It seemed different for the first time.

Wow!

With a sound as if air was being thrown in all directions, the arrow flew fiercely across the sea.

Damdeok and Jusoyul’s heads turned simultaneously in the direction where the bow flew.

The arrow that flew beyond the horizon sparkles! It glowed and then disappeared.

Incredible range.

Apollo’s words, which he added as if he were embarrassed, made Damdeok even more shocked.

[Ahaha, oh my. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while. I tried to hit the third wing of the seagull’s right wing, but I hit slightly below.]

Seeing him making excuses that it was because he had been neglecting archery these days, Damdeok had no choice but to hold his tongue.

Is this what it means to reach the level of a god?

It was an archery skill that I could not dare to do.

[But if you do a little bit, you can recover quickly. Well, I’m Apollo! Haha! How did you see it? Give it a try.]

Apollo said as he looked at Damdeok, who was standing there awkwardly.

Baekseol suddenly transformed into a white bow, and Damdeok concentrated all his concentration while holding the pure white bow.

‘I obtained the highest level of shooting talent. If you follow what you just saw…’

Even when he first acquired the talent for swordsmanship and martial arts, didn’t Damdeok achieve tremendous growth just by watching and following other hunters’ battles?

What I just saw was Apollo, the god of archery.

You may not be able to copy it 100%, but you will still achieve several times more than if you followed the hunters…!

Damdeok put down his bowstring with a stern expression.

Piyung!

Unlike before, a relatively meager sound crossed the sea.

‘… … .’

It doesn’t take long before the arrow pops! and fell into the sea water.

‘… Shit.’

Damdeok quietly lowered his bow.

Apollo’s posture, breathing, even the timing of releasing the bowstring. I thought I followed everything perfectly, but in reality I couldn’t even follow the steps.

Didn’t he even hit his target?

‘Hehe, as expected, the level of God is different.’

The movements of the hunters he saw and followed in battle, no matter how excellent their movements were, were human, and what was in front of him now was truly a god, a godly state.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it all at once like I did with humans, but I didn’t know there would be this much of a difference.

[Hey, you…]

Apollo approached with great strides and snatched Damdeok’s hand.

Damdeok scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Uh… I guess it’s my first time using a bow.”

Apollo opens his eyes and looks at Damdeok.

hmm? Why do you look like that?

Damdeok also stared blankly at Apollo.

Their gazes crossed for three seconds, and Apollo opened his mouth slightly.

[Hey, this is your first time shooting a bow?! But how can you shoot so well???]

Eh?

Damdeok looked at Apollo with a puzzled expression.

Apollo was still stroking Damdeok’s hand and inspecting the food.

[this this. With fingers without calluses that have never pulled a bowstring… There are no traces of chafing on the skin between the index and middle fingers, and hmm, I guess it’s definitely my first time holding a bow… What are you?]

Apollo looked at Damdeok with wide-open eyes.

No, if you ask me what it is… .

‘Did you shoot that well?’

Honestly, I don’t know.

Of course, it was my first time holding a bow and I shot it very well, but that was it.

Compared to Apollo, Damdeok’s bow was extremely shabby.

Despite this, Apollo let out an exclamation and looked like he couldn’t understand.

[How can your posture be that perfect when shooting for the first time? Moreover, the arrow flew hundreds of meters. Could there be a god like this in the world?]

Is it so surprising that I shot only a few hundred meters while he hit the wing of a seagull flying thousands of kilometers away?

However, Apollo’s eyes were shining as he was tearing at Damdeok as if he had discovered a strange creature.

‘The reason your posture looks perfect is because you have a talent for shooting, so I just followed your intuition.’

Isn’t that what being talented is all about?

Even after seeing it once, you can easily follow it… .

However, Apollo’s level was not the same even if he followed it well.

‘Someone was frustrated, but I was very excited.’

Apollo, who had been exclamating for a while, tapped his knee! and concluded.

[I get it! I found out why you shoot so well!]

“… “What is it?”

Apollo’s eyes sparkled and he pressed his face to Damdeok’s harsh reply.

[You are a genius. Genius, archery, skill, genius.]

* * *

– Grumbling.

puck!

A seagull, flying peacefully, is hit by an arrow that comes out of nowhere and falls into the sea.

Damdeok, seeing that he had hit his target, quietly lowered his bow.

‘I think I’ve roughly learned the basics.’

Today is a week since I received archery instruction from Apollo.

I can’t stay here forever, so I guess I’ll have to go back to modern times.

“Do you like it?”

Ju Soo-yul asked as he watched Damdeok fidgeting with his bow on the beach.

“Kkkkkk. Good or bad? After all, it is definitely better to receive proper guidance than to learn by looking over your shoulder.”

Damdeok nodded and smiled happily.

Of course, no matter how well I learned it, I couldn’t hit the wing bones of seagulls over the horizon like Apollo.

‘But now we can hit targets that are quite far away.’

The hit rate is close to 97%.

The range is still short, but I didn’t have to worry because it would naturally increase as my physical strength increased in the future.

Since the results were this good, a thought occurred to me.

‘If you learn swordsmanship and martial arts from other gods, you will grow faster.’

The way I’ve been honing my talent so far was by watching and copying the movements of ordinary hunters, or by watching and copying the movements of dwarves and dragon palace members from the world of gods.

Of course, I regularly watched videos on Hunter YouTube and basic swordsmanship, but I couldn’t help but feel that I was still lacking a lot.

‘If there is a god related to martial arts and swordsmanship… .’

The god of archery was clearly Apollo, but the god of the sword was Damdeok himself, who had just become a god, and there was no separate god of martial arts. But still, a few gods came to mind that I wanted to learn from.

‘Swordsmanship is from Ares and Athena, the gods of war, and martial arts is from Thor, the god of thunder, who is so good at fighting that he is called the god of fighting.’

These are the daily teachers I have been eyeing, but I haven’t even had a chance to meet them yet.

‘Thor must have stopped making dungeons since then because he doesn’t even appear on the part-time job list.’

Still, I’m not in a hurry.

The other gods just add flavor. No matter what anyone says, I am the one who makes this dish.

‘There are many ways to become strong enough without being taught.’

We plan to carry out these efforts steadily in the future.

‘okay. By making the 12 guardians mentioned by Zhou Juyul into priests.’

I looked at Soo-yul walking silently next to me.

“What about Apollo? “I haven’t seen you since morning.”

“I went out to take the sun wolves for a walk.”

“Wow, it looks like we’ve become very close friends.”

Fortunately, Apollo successfully succeeded in taming the solar wolf that Damdeok had taught him through Yame.

‘Because they like the fire pit filled with Apollo’s magic. I told them to make several small fireworks and use them as snacks.’

Of course, this is also something I learned while working part-time for large dogs.

Do you know?

All dogs can be controlled with treats.

I didn’t know it would work on real sun wolves, but… .

In any case, isn’t it a good thing that everyone got what they wanted?

Jooyul and I slowly walked towards Apollo’s residence.

That evening.

Apollo held a grand party, roasting a wild boar he had personally hunted.

[ruler! Come on, listen! For our eternal friendship!]

Apollo laughed happily while surrounded by sun wolves, and Damdeok and Jusoyul also enjoyed a comfortable meal for the first time in a long time and devoured the wine and wild boar.

It was truly the last night in the peaceful world of gods.

In a place illuminated by pitch-black darkness, on the throne of the far-high Underworld, Hades frowned.

[How dare a lesser god… A lesser god!!!]

As Hades shouted and threw away the documents, the spirit who was being judged in front of him trembled and fainted.

“Please calm down. “Hades.”

Underworld’s secretary Kamon quietly picked up the scattered documents and placed them on Hades’ desk.

[Kamon, it must be true that you brought it.]

“yes. I just checked again and am on my way back. Apparently, a month ago, Cerberus was summoned to this world without saying a word. We have also secured the testimony of nymphs.]

Hades’s expression became even harsher at Kamon’s dry answer.

He clutched the pile of documents that had been raised again and stared at Kamon fiercely.

[…] Why are you reporting this now?]

Kamon silently lowered his head and put his hands together.

“sorry. I’m cautious about telling you this, but… “Persephone was probably covering it.”

Hades’ pupils widened at those words.

Hades placed his forehead with both hands as if he had a headache and jerked! He lifted his head and shouted.

[How could Persephone… How… . Who on earth is that lesser god?! What kind of god are you doing, touching the symbol of the underworld without permission?! Who is that guy!! Who is behind it!! Why Persephone?! Are you covering this guy? Find out now!!!]

Once again the documents flew wildly.

Between the fluttering papers, Kamon quietly retreated into the darkness.

Hades’ clenched fist turned pale.

‘Who are you? Who is my Persephone… !!’

No matter who it is, I will never leave you alive. I will make you pay dearly for daring to insult the King of the Underworld!

Hades is awesome! He slammed the desk and opened his bloodshot eyes.
