(Think Sparta.) actually commander you never said maybe, but either way i never claimed that any of their respective training was better than the rest, since harsher does not mean better. But lets go to the arrow thing, was it impressive? certainly, could any normal human do it? no, could any normal demigod do it? maybe, though i doubt it, could a demigod of the 'caliber' of jason, thalia or reyna do it? i would be inclined to say yes. But either way we can assume that at least jason is as fast as percy and therefore we can extrapolate that jason could also replicate the gun thing, and that is several leagues ahead of catching an arrow. The question is if either sister can do so as well, of course we can assume that they could but since we have no instance in which they fight either percy or jason or hell even annabeth, i cannot ever accept that reyna and or hylla are faster than jason or thalia. So i propose that we agree that they are on par when i comes to speed while also agreeing that hylla is the strongest by some margin with reyna the one with the greatest stamina and assuming that all their respective training is on par with each other.

this way we can avoid simply repeating the same argument over and over  (something that i'm guilty of) Once again even being fast as Percy is only reacting and dogging. Catching ius a whole other level of speed! Not any normal demigod. Percy needed the freakin Curse of Achilles to catch an arrow. Hylka did it with the belt and her own merit, and the archer was the second best in the entire universe(under Apollo and Artemis). She's definitely faster. And if the belt DOESN'T make you faster, all that's saying is Hylka doesn't even need the belkt to be fast, as we saw her catch the arrow.

And yeah I agree but Hylla is definitely the fastest. Even if Thalia and Jason are on par with Percy, that means they would be capable of catching an arrow with The Curse of Achilles. Hylla did it without anything so she's def faster.
