Chapter 87 Revenge (1)_1
Situ Xin nodded in appreciation of Liu Yuxiang’s shooting movements. Not bad at all, he clearly looked like an old hand with guns; it was just a question of how good his marksmanship was.
Liu Yuxiang was faster than Xia Yujie, and his score was also a bit higher. He scored ninety-two out of ten shots. "Master, how was that? Not too shabby, right? I didn’t embarrass you, did I? Oh, and my gun..." As soon as Liu Yuxiang put down the gun in his hand and turned around, his facial expression instantly changed.
Situ Xin thought to herself, Why does he change faces as quickly as in a Peking opera?
"Well, the speed and scores are pretty average," Situ Xin commented, then turned to Xia Yujie and continued, "To be honest, with your abilities, getting into the national team shouldn’t be a problem." At Situ Xin’s words, Liu Yuxiang’s smile brightened even more.
Which Situ Xin found somewhat annoying, "But you must understand what you will be facing. The targets you will confront won’t be stationary ones, but actual enemies. The kind of enemies who will take your lives if your shots are even a second late. So, you must be fast, ruthless, and accurate. Only by achieving these three things will you be able to take the initiative against your enemies."
Their expressions grew serious as they digested Situ Xin’s words, understanding that her points were valid. They should not get too proud over their slight achievements.
Seeing that her words had taken effect, Situ Xin did not elaborate further. "While movement is vital in a shooting competition, what you need to focus on at the critical moment isn’t your movement, but whether your gun is aimed at the target, whether you’ve preempted the target’s attack. Sometimes, the process isn’t as important as the outcome."
After finishing, Situ Xin gestured for them to continue their training, standing by to offer guidance and point out areas for improvement.
"Alright, let’s wrap it up for today. The rest can be practiced later. Meet at the usual time and place tonight," Situ Xin announced, noting that it was almost time for her to leave school.
In the following training sessions, Situ Xin designed them in preparation for the operation set for the day after tomorrow. "We don’t have much time, so it’s impossible for me to teach you everything," she said, looking at the excited Liu Yuxiang. She continued, "This time, I won’t be teaching martial arts, only some lethal moves and techniques." With those words, Liu Yuxiang deflated like a punctured ball.
Yet he understood the purpose of this training, so despite his disappointment, he put his heart into it.
