Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

When Shao Yun brought Klee back to the Knights' headquarters, the written test of the knight assessment had just ended.

At this time, Noelle was walking out of the gate of the Knights of Favonius headquarters along with other people who were taking the written test.

Some of those who have just finished the written test can't wait to stretch their muscles so that they can perform at their best in the upcoming practical assessment.

Some people seemed to seize this half hour, took out a few candies from their pockets, replenished their energy, and prepared for subsequent challenges.

Shao Yun held Keli in his arms and walked to Noelle, and asked with concern, "Am I not late?"

The moment Noelle saw Shao Yun, an inexplicable warmth surged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Then, she shook her head gently and said softly, "No, the written test just ended."

At this moment, Noelle's eyes inadvertently fell on the lantern floating next to Shao Yun. Unable to resist curiosity, he asked, "What is this lantern floating in the air?"

Keli, who was held in Shao Yun's arms, smiled happily.

She happily pointed at the lantern floating beside her and said proudly, "This is a gift from my mom to Kelly. It's so beautiful! And my mom's voice can come out of it, chatting with Kelly!"

As she spoke, Kelly stretched out her little hand to touch the lantern, feeling the magic and warmth it brought.

At this moment, Alice's particularly kind and familiar voice slowly came out from the exquisite lantern, carrying a magic that could soothe people's hearts.

"Hello, Miss Noelle."

As soon as he finished speaking, when Noelle heard the familiar voice that was actually Kelly's mother, his originally straight back suddenly straightened even more, and a bright smile broke out on his face.

Then she bent her knees slightly and paid her deep respects to Alice with the most proper and elegant maid's salute.

Although she didn't know whether Alice could see her solemn behavior at the moment, her adherence to and respect for etiquette did not diminish in the slightest.

"Hello, Miss Alice. I'm Noelle, the maid of the Knight of Favonius. I'm here to take the knight assessment today." Noelle said softly.

When Alice heard Noelle's "sweet" mouth as if dipped in honey call her by her name, an indescribable joy surged in her heart.

"Come on! Noelle, I have high hopes for you."

Noelle was extremely excited to hear Alice's encouraging words.

"Thank you, Ms. Alice, for your encouragement!"

After saying this, she clenched her fists tightly and secretly vowed to perform well.

……

After a while, the calm and amiable figure of Captain Qin appeared in front of everyone.

She looked at the time and thought it was about time, so she clapped her hands gently, signaling the candidates to gather quickly.

"Okay, candidates, we are about to start the crucial practical test. The first stage of the task looks simple, but it is not that simple."

"You need to smash the wooden stake in front of you within two seconds, and you must not ask for any help from outside. Other than that, you can use any method you can think of, but you only have one chance."

"This will be a test of your strength and wisdom. I hope everyone can give it their all."

Upon hearing this, the candidates all looked serious, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Then, everyone began to gather in an orderly manner. Their uniform movements seemed to be a perfect combination of tacit understanding after countless rehearsals.

Noelle gently waved to Shao Yun and Ke Li beside him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said, "I'll go to the gathering."

……

The candidates for the knight examination have gathered.

Shao Yun held Klee in his arms and slowly approached the training ground of the Knights of Favonius. His eyes were fixed on the actual combat test that was about to take place on the field.

Kaiya casually glanced at the list in his hand, then shouted to the assembled candidates: "First one, Irene!"

As soon as the words fell, a brown-haired girl with a common face and a ponytail took a step forward nervously. Her slightly trembling hands revealed her inner nervousness.

"To!"

Kaiya's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a carefully designed professional smile.

He slowly said, "Your test is to destroy eight wooden stakes within two seconds."

When Noelle heard the requirement to "destroy eight wooden stakes within two seconds," she couldn't help but mutter, "Smashing eight wooden stakes within two seconds? This is indeed a bit difficult, but with Irene's strength, she can do it."

Shao Yun held Kelly and stood very close to Noelle. Although the distance between them was not far, they could still chat.

After listening to Noel's words, Shao Yun carefully looked at the eight wooden stakes that the knights were busy placing on the field. These stakes were arranged in a semicircle.

"I'm really looking forward to what Irene will do. I wonder what unique way she will use to deal with this seemingly simple scene."

Klee, on the other hand, looked at Irene with excitement as she walked forward to prepare for the upcoming test.

She cheered happily, "Come on, Sister Irene! You can do it!"

Irene often practices swordsmanship hard in this training ground, and Klee often plays with her. The two have already become very good friends.

When Irene heard Kelly's encouraging words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She turned around, a friendly yet determined smile appeared on her face, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Thank you, Keli, I will definitely succeed."

Shao Yun looked at Irene. This person should be the girl who usually practiced in the training ground. If he remembered correctly, her father should be the excited Mr. "Hermann" who was not far away.

Irene walked up to the eight wooden stakes and thought that if she just wanted to destroy them, there shouldn't be any problem.

Thinking about this she reached into the fanny pack at her waist and fumbled around for a moment.

She whispered, "It must succeed! This is the way of an honorable knight!"

Shao Yun looked at Irene and saw her slowly taking out a wind catcher from her waist bag?

Irene threw it out.

The wind catcher hit the center of the semicircular area surrounded by wooden stakes with great precision.

The moment the wind-catching bottle shattered, a powerful and surging force of the wind element suddenly erupted.

The eight wooden stakes that were originally extremely solid and formed a semicircle were destroyed in an instant.

This scene made Shao Yun's mind suddenly flash with a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen the attack method of Sandu. It was also like Ying's wind element attack...

Irene watched as all the wooden stakes were crushed to dust by the violent wind, and she felt an irrepressible excitement in her heart.

She clenched her fists tightly, a huge smile spread across her face, and cheered and celebrated her victory.

"Yeah! The Honor Knight's method works!"

But at the moment when Irene finished speaking, Shao Yun's heart moved slightly.

Honorary Knight? Ying! I met so many people related to Ying in this morning. It was really surprising.

"A wind-catching bottle? Throw it out and it will blow down these wooden stakes with strong wind? The things of the Ying Cult are quite practical. But compared to the wind field, its power is greater..."

At this time, Captain Qin carefully recorded Irene's actual combat score, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Irene, you passed! Next, Noelle."

Hearing what Captain Qin said, Noelle took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Shao Yun waved his hand from behind and encouraged: "Come on, I believe in you. You can do it."

Ke Li, who was held by Shao Yun, also waved her hands and encouraged, "Come on, Sister Noelle!"

……

Kaia carefully explained in detail the assessment items that Noelle was about to face as she looked focused.

"Noelle, your assessment task is very 'simple', that is, within two seconds, separate the two groups and break all six wooden stakes."

At this point, Kaiya paused deliberately, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and then reminded: "Ms. Noel, I have to remind you here that you can use props like Irene."

Noelle stood there quietly, just tilting her head slightly.

Then she simply nodded and said firmly: "Well, I understand, but I absolutely believe in my own strength!"

With that, she walked towards the two sets of wooden stakes in front of her.

Three in each group, placed separately.

Noelle gently moved her wrist and flicked her right hand. A dazzling light flashed and a huge West Wind Sword appeared in her hand.

This huge two-handed sword seemed extremely heavy in the eyes of others, but to her, it was just like an ordinary one-handed sword.

The sharp sword edge gleamed in the sunlight, flashing a terrifying light.

At this moment, she is the unstoppable Valkyrie on the battlefield, ready to face the baptism of battle at any time.

Noelle gripped the hilt of the Zephyr Greatsword tightly with both hands and took a deep breath. The calm and powerful aura instantly spread out.

She raised her head slightly and shouted, "It's time to clean up the battlefield!"

Then, the Eye of the Rock God embedded in Noelle's waist shone with a soft pale yellow light.

The yellow rock elemental enchanted light on the West Wind Greatsword in his hand became brighter and more dazzling.

The sword body was even longer, and the extended part was like a sharp rock ridge, exuding a terrifying aura.

Noelle pursed her lips and swung the West Wind Great Sword in her hand. The movement seemed gentle, but the power contained in it was as surging as a mountain torrent.

The sword was swung with an overwhelming momentum, fiercely smashing into the two sets of wooden stakes.

As the attack ended, the originally solid wooden stake instantly broke into pieces, wood chips flew everywhere, and it was instantly torn into countless pieces.

Shao Yun cheered as he watched Noelle's amazing performance.

"Wow, great job Noelle!"

As for whether it is really amazing, we should at least give it some support...

Klee waved her hands and cheered, "Sister Noelle is so strong!"

Noelle let out a long sigh, his tense body relaxed slightly, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Huh~"

Captain Qin stood aside. She was already accustomed to Noel's strength. She picked up the pen skillfully and recorded Noel's results in the notebook.

She already knew about Noelle's fighting ability. This hardworking girl possessed extraordinary strength.

After finishing the record, Captain Qin looked at Noelle with a smile and said gently, "Ms. Noelle, you passed! Next."

Noelle turned around and walked back to the team. Shao Yun praised Noelle, "Very impressive."

Noelle brushed the hair beside her ear a little embarrassedly, revealing her white teeth.

Then she patted her slightly slender but powerful arms and said proudly: "This is the result of constant exercise."

……

Afterwards, Shao Yun stood there quietly, watching the candidates going to take the test one by one.

Shao Yun yawned out of boredom, then turned his gaze to Noelle beside him and asked, "Is the only practical assessment to be done by dismantling wooden stakes? Aren't there other more challenging projects?"

Hearing this, Noelle stretched out her right index finger and gently pressed it on her chin, revealing a silly and cute look that suited her age.

She thought about it seriously for a moment, then slowly explained, "As I recall, there should be a one-on-one test with the Knight of Favonius, one of three options: swordplay, archery, or elemental power. There's also a battle with a tough slime."

After listening to Noelle's words, Shao Yun nodded gently and said, "I guess, based on your habits, you will definitely choose the swordsmanship assessment."

After hearing this, Noelle said seriously, "That's right! I am very confident in my swordsmanship."

……

Time passed quietly as the candidates were busy dismantling the wooden stakes. After the candidates finished the assessment of dismantling the wooden stakes, Captain Qin and Kaiya checked the records.

After confirming everything was correct, Kaia's signature smile reappeared, and he announced loudly to everyone: "Next item, the three-choice test, candidates, please take your seats quickly."

Hearing that the next stage of the assessment was about to begin, Noelle turned to look at Shao Yun and Ke Li and said, "I'm going to take the exam first. You guys wait for my good news."
