Time for the next question and this time it was going to be more specified to their actual method of Belomancy. The Professor raised her hand to get their attention once again, since the outside winter wonderland surrounding them tended to distract little ones, and spoke sending her foggy breath out over their heads. "The type of Belomancy we are going to perform today involves actually shooting arrows like Miss Hollingberry mentioned but instead of shooting them to see the distance, we will be shooting at various targets related to our questions." That was the divining part but they would get to that later.

The Divination Professor whispered an incantation under her breath and about thirty bows and the same amount of quivers filled with arrows floated towards them from behing a frozen bush. The objects came to a stop by her feet. "So everyone please come and grab both a bow and a quiver of arrows. I will be showing you all how to properly shoot." Not everyone would know how obviously. She took a step back to allow them to pick up the things. "There are to be NO shots fired until I instruct you to do so, is that clear?" An accidental arrow through somebody wouldn't be the worst thing in the world or terribly hard for the Healer to fixed but that didn't mean it wouldn't be any less traumatic.

"Now when you get your equipment, please space out and be about 4 feet apart from your classmates." She grabbed her stuff while they moved and picked up her bow. "First we need to find the right way to hold the bow. You take the wooden part in one hand, preferably your non-wand hand and take your index and pointer fingers on your other hand to and touch it to your bow string. Stay in this position and I will walk around and correct you as needed."

Everything to do with arrows. Cassia understood that they'll be working with arrows the entire lesson. That wasn't bad. Better than collecting stoves and doing other boring things like collecting twigs or interpreting creepy dreams. Though it would be a bit dangerous. Surely not all of the students were experienced archers. Cassia doubted if anyone at all had any experience. She too was clueless about this. Like she was clueless about so many things.

Then the bows and quivers appeared. This woman wasn't joking, was she? Cassia nodded at what Professor Elwood was saying and the second-year then walked to grab a bow. Once she got it she made sure to get far away from the students not only four feet, nope! She didn't find that safe. She kept going farther until she reached the wall of the room. That should be safe enough. Mind her she didn't want to be losing any limbs. And she didn't want to make a trip to the infirmary either. She was short and might be missed for a target. Older students were evil.

Cassia tried to keep up with the instruction given by Elwood. They were simpler than Cassia thought mounting a bow would be. The twelve-years old held the wooden bow with her right hand and her left index and thumb held the sting. She didn't know if she had to bend her elbow or stretch it to have the bow further from her body. And were they going to use wands while shooting arrows. But how would they hold the wands. Eh...they'll be told soon enough. What's the rush for.
