Chapter 230: Dazzling Others, She Shall Practice With the Twenty Meter Target (6)
That voice caught everyone’s attention in an instant.
Gu Qingjiu’s heart had trembled even before she turned around.
A man clad in an officers’ uniform walked in.
He looked around thirty-years-old and stood at a height of 1.8 meters.
He had strong facial features with some stubble growing on the side of his face, extenuating his manly features.
A good-looking instructor once again!
The female recruits were all inwardly cheering.
The male recruits, on the other hand, wanted to cry.
But the moment they saw the badge on him. Wow, he was a five-star officer!
With that rank, even company commanders had to greet him. He seemed to be the rumored camp instructor who had been transferred to the advanced training camp.
As expected, once he walked over, he greeted the unit in front of him. “I am instructor Mu Nanji, here to report!”
According to military rules, no matter what rank a person held, as long as it was a new place, they would have to report to its people.
When He Niancheng first arrived, he did it as well.
Ying Huan quickly returned the greeting, “Good afternoon, Instructor Mu! I am the Drill Sergeant of the fifth unit, Ying Huan!”
Everyone greeted him together. “Good afternoon, Instructor Mu!”
“Mm.”
Mu Nanji lightly nodded before pointing at Gu Qingjiu. “What’s with her?”
Seeing herself at the end of his finger, Gu Qingjiu felt uneasiness growing in her heart.
Just when Ying Huan was about to answer, Mu Nanji continued, “I saw the two shots you made and none of them hit the target. How long have you trained for you to still be at this level?”
Mu Nanji appeared extremely displeased with Gu Qingjiu’s performance.
He had his arms behind his back, looking ever ready to reprimand Gu Qingjiu.
Ying Huan quickly added, “Instructor Mu, her name is Gu Qingjiu, and she recently transferred over from the new recruits’ training camp. It’s her first time using a gun, and those were her first three shots.”
“…”
Mu Nanji felt a little uncomfortable.
For a new instructor to have made a wrong judgment right from the start… He originally wanted to show his influence.
But in front of so many people, could he afford to lose face?
He suddenly puffed up, and he said, “So what if that was your first time? We have so many trainees, but we have to accommodate this one person’s lack of skills? Your target shooting practical exam will be next month and it won’t be easy for anyone. Let her start from twenty meters straightaway!”
Silence enveloped the training field.
If she couldn’t even hit the ten meters target, twenty meters was worse.
But then again, even if the new instructor was a strict one and that he had shoved a hard task to everyone, the female soldiers were laughing more at Gu Qingjiu’s predicament.
‘Serves you right. You were acting strong earlier on, but now you can’t even act.’
A new instructor just arrived, and it had already beaten Gu Qingjiu back to her original state.
Ying Huan looked at Gu Qingjiu in pity and could only nod in reply. “I understand, Instructor Mu.”
After he had spoken, he instructed someone to move Gu Qingjiu’s target to twenty meters away.
Mu Nanji felt that he looked suave doing it.
Once he felt cool enough, he should show some brownie points. He then faced Gu Qingjiu and said, “Since it’s your first time and it’s a twenty-meter target, I won’t limit your training time. I’ll give you three days’ time and you’ll have this target all to yourself for the entire duration until team training is over.”
The issue was never the limit to practice. Some people practiced for over a year and still had no results. What was more to say about Gu Qingjiu, who recently just joined?
Even three months might not be enough.
Since they rotated the target practice amongst trainees, Mu Nanji’s words meant that Gu Qingjiu could have the target all for herself without being changed out.
It didn’t seem like an advantage at all in the eyes of others. They all snickered inwardly at Gu Qingjiu’s predicament.
In the training field, Gu Qingjiu nodded calmly. “I understand, Instructor Mu.”
