Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Five Shots, Ten Rings
After completing their tasks, everyone rushed to the cafeteria to eat.
The shooting and 1v1s scheduled for the afternoon were going to be exhausting.
Perhaps from overusing her spiritual power, Lin Jingjing began to feel drowsy in her seat after she finished eating.
Seeing her start to nod off, they immediately grew tense. Feng He quickly patted her hand and asked, "Sister Lin, are you getting sleepy again?"
"Yeah, a little..." Lin Jingjing opened her eyes, nodding in response to their worried expressions.
"You should try to fight it. I’m worried that if you fall asleep, you’ll be out for days," Feng He warned.
Lin Jingjing recalled the time she had slept for a day or two straight. ’No wonder they’re so worried,’ she thought.
’I can’t ask for leave right now. I’ll be punished if I oversleep.’
Lin Jingjing understood her friend’s concern and waved her hand. "It’s fine. I’m just sleepy. Just wake me when it’s time. I’ll wake up."
After saying that, Lin Jingjing leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
The others watched her, but no one said a word. After they finished eating, Shi Feng took their empty trays to the designated spot, then went and bought a bottle of water for each of them.
"Should she sleep here or go back to the dorm?" Gu Kaiwen asked as he took a bottle of water, twisting it open while looking at Lin Jingjing.
Mo Xuan glanced at the time. They still had forty minutes before they had to assemble. Going back to the dorm only to run back down again would be a waste of time.
"Let’s stay here. Let her get some more sleep," Mo Xuan said, looking up at Lin Jingjing.
The others nodded, and they all sat there until it was time to assemble.
When the assembly call sounded, Feng He went to wake her up. After a few tries failed to rouse her, she started to get anxious.
"Sister Lin!" Feng He cried, shaking her by the shoulders. "Wake up! It’s time for assembly!"
Deep in sleep, Lin Jingjing slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the four faces staring down at her and asked, "Time to assemble?"
The four of them breathed a collective sigh of relief when Lin Jingjing woke up. ’Thank goodness she’s awake.’
"Yes."
The moment she heard the word "assemble," Lin Jingjing shot to her feet. "Assembly’s started? Let’s hurry!" With that, she dashed out.
The five of them slid into formation at the last possible second, much to the instructor’s fury.
’These little brats have even learned how to show up right at the last second.’
Jiang Lusheng scanned the ranks and saw that everyone was present.
He raised a megaphone and announced, "Everyone’s here! Let’s begin shooting practice."
After his announcement, several instructors opened the large cases in front of them, revealing they were filled with laser rifles.
’Finally, a real gun.’ Lin Jingjing felt her hands start to itch.
’I have to get a few extra shots in later.’
Everyone lined up to receive a rifle, then split into smaller groups to be taught by their respective instructors.
Jiang Lusheng led his group of recruits into the shooting range. He held up a laser rifle and began his explanation.
He demonstrated how to disassemble and reassemble it, and after everyone learned the basics, he had them work on their speed.
The goal was to assemble the laser rifle and fire at the target within one minute.
Lin Jingjing was a natural with firearms. After disassembling and reassembling the laser rifle just once, she had it all figured out.
Once she understood the mechanism, she started working on her speed, shortening her time with each attempt.
Within half an hour, Lin Jingjing had reduced her assembly time from three minutes to just one—a massive improvement.
"Instructor Jiang, I’m ready. I’d like to try the test," Lin Jingjing shouted to Jiang Lusheng, who was standing a short distance away, after seeing her final time.
’Someone’s ready for the challenge after only half an hour? That’s fast.’
When Jiang Lusheng saw it was Lin Jingjing, a smile spread across his face. "You’ve learned it that quickly?"
"Yes," Lin Jingjing nodded.
"Alright, go give it a try."
The other recruits who were still practicing quickly put down their parts and gathered around to watch.
Jiang Lusheng held up a stopwatch. "Are you ready?"
"Ready."
"Alright. Three, two, one, go!" As he gave the signal, Lin Jingjing’s hands became a blur, instantly disassembling the laser rifle. She then reassembled all the parts with maximum speed.
Once it was done, she instinctively aimed the rifle at the target and fired several shots in quick succession.
After firing, she placed the laser rifle on the table and said, "Done!"
A mechanical voice then echoed through the quiet shooting range: "First shot, bullseye. Second shot, bullseye... Fifth shot, bullseye."
She had fired five shots, and every single one was a perfect hit.
Everyone fell silent and stared at her. ’How can her aim be so good?’
’She only spent a few seconds firing, right?’
They had only seen her pull the trigger a few times before she was done; no one had expected such an outstanding result.
After a long silence, Jiang Lusheng was the one to break it. "You’re... very strong."
"To be able to disassemble, reassemble, and then score five bullseyes in such a short amount of time... that’s incredible," he said, raising his hands to applaud Lin Jingjing.
After Jiang Lusheng started clapping, the others joined in with cheers. Some of the women were even looking at Lin Jingjing with stars in their eyes.
A bolder girl immediately rushed over. "Lin Jingjing, how did you do that? How did you hit the bullseye with all five shots?"
"Can you teach me?"
Once one person spoke up, more followed, and Lin Jingjing was suddenly surrounded by a crowd of girls.
Their fiery enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for Lin Jingjing.
Lin Jingjing tried to back away as she spoke, putting some space between them, but every time she took a step back, the girls would take a step forward, closing the gap.
"Please teach us!"
"Sister Lin—"
When Lin Jingjing heard someone call out "Sister Lin," a smile touched her lips. "Alright, I’ll teach you."
Jiang Lusheng and the male recruits stood back and watched, momentarily at a loss for words.
Some of the guys were eager to join in as well but hesitated to approach a crowd of girls.
Jiang Lusheng took it all in. Lin Jingjing was clearly an excellent shot. After a moment of thought, he announced, "Alright, for today’s shooting class, let’s have Lin Jingjing teach you."
As soon as they heard Lin Jingjing would be teaching, the hesitant male recruits immediately surged forward.
Lin Jingjing was instantly mobbed, completely unable to move.
It took a great deal of persuasion from Lin Jingjing before the crowd finally dispersed.
’If Instructor Jiang wants me to teach them, then I have to give it my all.’
Under Lin Jingjing’s guidance, recruits who had been missing the target entirely slowly began to land their shots.
Just hitting the target was a great first step. Next came practicing for accuracy.
This was the difficult part. Hitting the bullseye required constant practice and self-adjustment.
Lin Jingjing herself had spent countless hours honing her own marksmanship to its current level.
Jiang Lusheng noticed Feng He and her three friends were still practicing assembly and disassembly instead of heading to the firing line.
He asked, "Aren’t you four going to practice shooting?"
"We’ve got that part down. This is the main problem," Feng He said with a smile.
As she spoke, she glanced at the timer. 1:37.08. Over the time limit again.
