Rylee's gaze settled on the target almost as quickly as they had settled upon Hirsch himself. "I'm great!" She nodded quickly in excitement. "I'm ready!" Or as ready as she could be. "That sounds good to me." Not easy but not super mega hard either. It sounded like the perfect challenge to her.

The second year fell completely quiet in order to listen closely to what was being said. Blue eyes drifted back and forth between Hirsch and the target as the man explained what she would be doing. She knew all about having fast reflexes. Without being fast to react she would have never made the Quidditch team. Her goal had been Seeker who needed super fast reflexes but she made Beater and that was working out wonderful! Her strength and speed was getting better by the day.

Rylee nodded taking in the task. This was why she was here. To learn. To get better at her reaction time. To become better at thinking on her feet in the moment. And above all else... to become better abled at protecting herself during certain situations.

"Got it!" This was a lot like the training they did out on the field for Quidditch. Hitting targets with the Bludger was a part of her training for being a Beater. Only difference was she had her bat rather than her wand... and this target was going to really be moving around rather than just up and down.

Rylee bounced on her heels pulling her wand free of the holster on her arm. "Pick a simple spell... simple spell..." she whispered to herself running through the list of spells she knew she could cast effectively and quickly. There was quite a decent list of spells she could have used but in the end she settled on the Arrow-shooting spell for the simple fact that she would know for sure if the hit the target.

Aiming her wand at the target she cast the Arrow-shooting spell at it hitting it easily the first time. This wasn't so hard. Over and over again she cast the same spell following the target with only her eyes at first until she was made to move in order to not be hit with rebounded arrows.

Her speed and accuracy was rather good at first... only she must have underestimated the targets ability to speed up as well. The quicker she shot arrows at it, the quicker the target seemed to move. Before long she found herself jogging and then running back and forth in order to keep up with it. Many times her spell missed the target just barely and quite a few times more than she would have liked to admit she missed completely. All in all for a second year her aim wasn't all that bad which she knew was due to her Quidditch skills.

After what felt like forever Rylee lowered her wand taking a few breaths. She needed a moment before going again if that's what Hirsch wanted her to do. Maybe she should try a different spell?
