[Aquan Target Bird (Large)] Killed, +4 points

Each swish of Sylvia's arrows and the twang of her bow seemed to signal the demise of her targets, and it was only then that Danielle and the others realized just how much more impactful her shots were when compared to Crystal's.

Although they were both of the same 'class' at the moment, Sylvia's experience in handling a bow was definitely multiple times greater than that of Crystal. The only reason it hadn't been obvious until now was because the [Minor Tentacle Plant Demon] monsters that they'd been dealing with her much weaker against the [Light] element, and also presented a large and easy-to-hit target.

And with Emilia's existence at the front, the only 'skill' that differentiated the rangers in her team became their 'damage output'.

"She seems to really hate those birds…"

"There goes another one!"

Crystal could obviously tell that Sylvia had been frustrated by her 'suppression' over the last few days, but it was only now that the blonde girl realized the true extent of her feelings.

Not only was her 'pride' in her skills hurt by everyone seemingly believing Crystal to be a 'better' ranger, but her 'value' in the team also seemed to become more 'questionable' over time, and Sylvia obviously couldn't tolerate it anymore.

At least, that is what the yellow-eyed beauty seemed to believe.

'What a sad girl…' Crystal sighed. 'She doesn't even realize the real reason she feels so frustrated, does she?'

Of course, although she found Sylvia's situation 'pitiful', the blonde girl had no intention of 'enlightening' her.

It was best for her to figure that kind of thing out on her own, after all. And as long as it didn't drag in or hurt anyone 'innocent', Crystal was never the type to meddle in other people's affairs.

Sylvia's score soon reached and exceeded Robin's, and she couldn't help but flick her gaze towards Crystal, only to be shocked by her calm and even 'encouraging' smile.

The yellow-eyed girl was momentarily stunned, and unfortunately… that was enough for her to be completely thrown off her rhythm.

Since taking down an [Aquan Target Bird (Large)] already took Sylvia multiple shots thanks to her rather low damage, it wasn't long before she timed out, and the challenge came to an end.

"Aw…"

'What a pity, she was only four kills away from another wave upgrade.' Danielle sighed, but the rest of the team still congratulated Sylvia excitedly.

After all, the speed and accuracy that Sylvia displayed just then was enough to leave them stunned. They felt that those games in which she was mostly hiding and taking shots from the dark really failed to make people realize the true extent of her talent!

Maybe if she practiced more in the real world, it wouldn't be impossible for her to start appearing in some national and even international level competitions.

Even if most of them may not make too much money, compared to an eSports 'star', that was still an entirely different level of existence. In the public eye, the respect they commanded was immense.

Of course, if the claims about Arcadia were true, things may change a lot in the future, but no one could be sure about that.

Even Crystal didn't shy away from congratulating the yellow-eyed ranger, despite the girl's vague 'hostility' earlier.

Facing their 'unexpected' adoration, Sylvia could only cough awkwardly. "T-Thanks…"

Their attitude completely washed away her vague sense of shame at the unexpected 'failure' of the challenge, and even made Sylvia feel like she was being a complete idiot by being so jealous of Crystal.

'I… probably misunderstood her, right?' Sylvia mused. 'If she had that kind of thoughts… there's no way she wouldn't be jealous.'

Of course, for a prideful girl like her, it was impossible to easily bow her head or apologize.

'I-I'll just give her a much better item in exchange of Sylvan Strike.' Sylvia nodded to herself.

As for when she would be able to obtain a good enough item to compensate for the green quality bow… even she wasn't sure.

After all, the fact that Crystal had refused to accept anything she already had in exchange could only mean she was waiting for Sylvia to obtain something more 'suitable' for herself, but that kind of thing completely depended on luck.

And when it came to 'fortune'… Sylvia had always known hers was one of the worst.

The yellow-eyed girl was shaken out of her distracting thoughts, however, when she heard Emilia's name being discussed by her teammates.

"Are you sure you wanna give it a try?"

"Based on the scores so far, it doesn't really seem worth it."

Naturally, Danielle and Nico had both rejected taking the challenge, but the crimson-haired elf didn't change her mind.

"Even if I can't score too well, it won't hurt to at least know what the 'Warrior's Challenge' is like, right?"

Since she seemed to have already made up her mind, Danielle and the others obviously wouldn't argue about it too much.

After all, not to mention that it was just one gold coin, even if it had been more, they felt that Emilia's 'contribution' to their team so far was enough to happily write off that kind of expense.

Of course, the audience watching their streams didn't think so.

"Man… I thought that Sylvia girl was already a little stupid for going in to waste gold at that point, but here she goes."

"Not a surprise, really. The prettier a girl is, the less likely it is for her mind to work properly."

"Ehehe… looking at Emilia's face, then… I'm surprised that she almost fooled us into thinking she was only a little stupid."

"You guys are too naïve. Instead of calling her 'stupid' and thinking she's just an innocent girl who doesn't know better, can't you see that she's just being spoiled?"

This person clearly had something against Emilia, and went on to explain in detail just how conceited, selfish, and full of herself she was for not only picking the most 'unique' challenge for herself from the start, but also not caring about the 'expense' of the team for her own sake.

But although there were only a few hundred people watching the 'stream', this person's logical argument was soon drowned by their collective saliva.

"Honestly, I don't care what's inside her head as long as I can look at that face."

"Ahhh! Look, the warrior's challenge is in an open arena! And it looks like she'll actually be fighting!"

"Fuck! Did the guide just mention that she'll be attacked non-stop?!"

"Wowowow, poor little Emilia being assaulted by dozens of enemies when the rest of her team can only watch… all of a sudden, I'm really excited!"
