Chapter 311: Reiner - If You Stay
“How did you manage to hit the bull’s eyes on all three targets with ease?! This is amazing! Wow!” I cried out in excitement as my eyes widened at the holes in the targets.
“Anyone can do this much with enough practice. The target wasn’t even moving...” Reiner replied emotionlessly.
Other guys might have used this opportunity to show off a little but definitely not Reiner. That in and of itself, just made him all the more impressive. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.
“Still...I think it’s amazing,” I said, meaning it. I never thought that he would be this good.
“Well, thank you My Lady. I’m sure you can do it too if you pay attention and practice,” Reiner said, almost snapping at me.
“I...don’t think so...” I replied, clearly unconvinced.
“Have some confidence in yourself,” Reiner replied before patting my head softly.
“Is it time for some food yet?” I asked, referring to lunch.
“Don’t change the subject. It’s your turn next,” Reiner said while shaking his head.
...
After lunch, we spent the entire afternoon at the shooting range. With a whole lot of encouragement from Reiner, I learnt how to hold a gun properly and I shot a gun for the first time. It felt strange but it wasn’t unpleasant. Reiner stood behind me as he held my hand and positioned in on the gun. It felt like we shot the gun together.
