Chapter 226: Gun Practice, Dazzling Others (2)
“Since our training has progressed up to this lesson, you need to catch up with the class’s pace.”
Class five’s Drill Sergeant was Ying Huan, and he was the one who explained the rules of gun practice to Gu Qingjiu.
Class five’s current progress was a twenty-meters fixed target.
Although Gu Qingjiu was new, she wouldn’t receive any special treatment. Ying Huan told her that she would be starting with the twenty-meters training like the rest.
Upon hearing that, Gu Qingjiu nodded. “I understand, Drill Sergeant.”
She did not voice out any objections.
Her calm front made people think that she had received formal training before.
Hence, she appeared confident.
Gu Qingjiu’s answer caused people to look at her.
Many of them heard the Drill Sergeant’s words.
Meanwhile, the girls had the natural instinct to discriminate against the recently arrived Gu Qingjiu.
They were all gleeful inside when they heard that Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t receive any special treatment.
And they were all waiting to see how this newcomer was going to get out of such an embarrassing situation.
For the male recruits, they sympathized with Gu Qingjiu.
Ying Huan looked shocked when he heard Gu Qingjiu’s crisp answer. “You’ve received gun training before?”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “No, this is my first time.”
It was even her first time seeing it, so why was she so confident to participate in their training?
The female recruits who were glad that Gu Qingjiu received no special treatment felt even more disgusted with her once again.
Since she hadn’t tried it before, why was she speaking so arrogantly?
Was she trying to look cool!?
With that one statement, Gu Qingjiu was already labeled with the word ‘pretentious.’
But for her, since the Drill Sergeant had already said that, she knew she had no other choice but to accept.
What else was she supposed to do? Ask the Drill Sergeant to take it easy on her?
Hearing that, Ying Huan felt that the twenty-meters training was too harsh for her. He changed his mind. “If that’s the case, you’ll practice on a ten-meter target since it’s your first time. If you hit the fifth inner circle, I will consider it a pass.”
The moment Ying Huan said that, the people around them had a change of expression.
Didn’t he just say that there would be no special treatments? Why did he change his mind now?
But for a person like Gu Qingjiu, someone who had never held a gun in her life, to hit the fifth inner circle of a ten-meter target within an hour was close to an impossible feat. It was the reason why they did not voice their opinions despite being unhappy.
Furthermore, since Ying Huan was a Drill Sergeant, he did have the deciding power for some things.
Gu Qingjiu’s eyebrows rose slightly at Ying Huan’s change of instructions, but she did not reveal any other expression.
In fact, Gu Qingjiu had no idea how she should perform.
It was indeed her first time touching a gun.
After the change in training plans, Ying Huan asked someone to move her target so she could practice at the side.
She could tell that the drill sergeant held no ill intentions against her, only wanting her to catch up with the class’s progress as soon as possible.
Whether Gu Qingjiu could catch up was all on her.
Her gaze turned slowly towards the rack where all the training guns were stored.
Excitement swelled from within.
Although it was termed a training gun, it was still a real gun.
The feeling of shooting and hitting her target rushed at her, pumping adrenaline through her veins.
She watched many dramas in the past. The feeling of hitting a target that was thousands of meters away was too exhilarating.
Even if she had never experienced it, Gu Qingjiu could imagine how satisfying it would feel.
It must be a joy!
