It seemed a few students were able to haphazardly make their targets, and some even got lucky enough to make bull’s-eye, but there was no real skill; this was in agreement among the group of centaurs.

“The form…they can hardly trot at a pace equal to our own…” One chirped.

“We should have brought our own young…to show them how it is done,” another said. There was a few chuckles from the group, and another centaur stepped forward to mock the humans.

“They wouldn’t pass our coming of age ritual! None of them would! Thereos is teaching them in vain! This is of no use!” There were many nods of agreement.

The head of the group said nothing of the poor form of the humans, but instead stared straight ahead at the scene, watching each of the humans attempt to succeed.

“We will never teach the humans how to behave like a centaur because humans are not centaurs. It is unwise to mock those unlike us, especially those we consider inferior in many aspects,” he said softly to his companions, his demeanor calm and collected as he observed the humans. “Many of them have made their targets in the very center…perhaps only once or twice, but it is not our job to teach them how to do it correctly, only to get the humans to properly understand our ways.” His voice was not harsh, but it made some of the snider centaurs hush instantly.
