[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

You suddenly frowned and asked him seriously:

"Koenig, you..."

Koenig stared at you intently, his eyes wide and tense, as if he were even holding his breath...

You: "Are you injured?"

Koenig's tall frame seemed to relax, and then he gestured awkwardly with his hands.

"Ah...yes, I was slightly injured because of...a temporary mission."

You nodded: "No wonder I haven't seen you since the training ground."

He nodded a few times in agreement: "Yes, because I've gone on a mission."

You sighed, then asked him:

"Do you need my help? My secondary profession is medical, so I can check your injuries and treat your wounds."

Unexpectedly, Koenig shook his head and refused: "No."

You looked at him, your eyes filled with inquiry: "Why?"

Koenig paused for a moment, then pointed to his mask, or rather... his face?

"The blood...the wound is here, it's inconvenient."

You looked closely at his mask and sure enough, you found a small area that was a darker color than the original mask.

Judging from this, those might be traces of blood residue.

Knowing that Koenig was reluctant to show his face, you couldn't force him and had to give up.

But you still worried and reminded him:

"Then you should go back and get checked out right away. If it's serious, go to the medical room immediately and have the medical staff prescribe some better medicine for you. After all, you can't just treat a facial injury casually."

Koenig nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! YN, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

You look at him with a smile, and say helplessly, "Alright, you should go now."

After saying goodbye to you, Koenig immediately turned around and climbed the stairs five steps at a time, looking very anxious.

The smile on your face faded after the Konigs disappeared.

Koenig...

Was he really injured on his face? Or... was he really hurt?

He's been missing for half a day, supposedly due to an emergency mission, but what mission can be resolved in less than half a day?

Furthermore, the blood on his mask was positioned low, almost reaching his chest. If it were a facial injury, shouldn't it have been on his face or dripping directly onto his clothes underneath?

His state was more like...he had just returned from executing someone.

So, where did he go, and who did he execute?

An answer emerges in your mind...

You shook your head, shaking away your thoughts.

You shouldn't make assumptions about others here; it would be bad if you misunderstood.

Moreover, everyone has their own secrets, and you shouldn't pry too much into them. It's important to maintain a proper distance when interacting with others.

You take a deep breath, then put those messy thoughts out of your mind and head towards your dorm room.

You'll be starting a new training session tomorrow. Go grab something to eat later and get some rest.

You don't want to be in a bad state on your first day of job training at Keegan.

You won't let anything that would leave a bad impression on the instructors happen! That's right!

The next morning, you were woken up by Vita and Blizzard.

Looking at the time, it was already past 6:30, while you usually start your morning exercise around 6:50.

You pat your head in frustration, probably because you were too tired yesterday and slept very soundly.

You quickly got up, washed up, put on your workout clothes, tied your hair up with a hair tie, and ran out.

It was still a five-kilometer morning run.

Fortunately, you had already resumed your morning runs a few days ago; otherwise, if you had suddenly started doing this, you might have fallen behind.

After my morning run, it was time for breakfast. After eating, I took a short walk and did some light physical training. It was already past nine o'clock.

Next comes the core job training.

You and Vita walked into a room, where two or three people were already sitting.

They were all familiar teammates. After greeting them, you and Vita casually found a place to sit side by side.

The room is set up like a small classroom, with a blackboard and a rectangular table at the front. Opposite the blackboard, where you are, are about ten desks and chairs.

After most of the people had arrived, Keegan came in, holding a gun in his hand.

Keegan placed the gun on the table, then picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the gun's name on the blackboard.

"This is the rifle we'll be practicing with today: the Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle. It's 122 cm long, weighs 4.3 kg, is chambered in 7.62x54 mm ammunition, and comes with a 10-round double-stack magazine. Its effective range is..."

"report!"

A voice rang out from the doorway.

You and everyone else in the classroom turned to look; it was a soldier who had arrived late.

Keegan stopped writing, glanced at the soldier, and said in a calm voice.

"Chisa, hopefully there won't be a next time. Come in and sit down."

Without getting angry or asking any further questions, you inwardly marvel at Keegan's "magnanimity."

Keegan continued drawing a distance line on the blackboard, seemingly to accommodate the soldiers who had just been late, and he repeated what he had just said.

"The effective distance is 800 meters."

Next, he picked up the sniper rifle from the table and demonstrated how to operate it, so that you could understand its structure and features.

"Today, you will use this gun for scope-free shooting training."

Shooting without a scope, also known as blind shooting, is a technique where the player fires without a scope.

Chapter 73: Sniping without a Scope

Although you have had sniping practice before, it was just normal training, such as how to conceal yourself, adjust the position of the sniper rifle, test temperature and wind speed, and then shoot steadily.

You've only received this basic training; there's nothing more detailed or comprehensive.

Therefore, you might think that's all there is to sniper training.

Soon, you arrived at the outdoor shooting range and took turns lying down on the ground with your guns.

It's called shooting without a scope, but that doesn't mean you can't use a scope at all, since the human eye can't see things hundreds of meters away.

The so-called blind sniping is when your vision is covered after you have aimed, so that you shoot by feel.

The purpose of this is to improve your focus and stability, so that you can still hit the target steadily even after losing sight of it.

This shooting session consists of ten shots, and the score is still based on the target circle, ranging from 1 to 10 points. The closer you hit the inner circle, the higher your score; conversely, if you shoot outside the circle, you lose 1 point, and if you miss the target, you lose 2 points.

"Stay focused and keep your sniper rifles steady."

Keegan is behind you, issuing the orders.

"Now, load the gun."

With a click, you all cocked your guns and then began to observe the shooting targets in the distance.

The circular scope has a crosshair marking. When you want to aim at an object, you can use this marking to calculate the distance to the object.

Using the center of the scope as the reference point, there are five graduations on each side, up, down, and left. Each graduation is 1 mil, and 1 mil is equal to 1000 meters.

To calculate the distance to an object, you first need to estimate its approximate height. Divide its height by the number of mils it occupies, and then multiply by 1000 to get the approximate distance between the object and you.

When you need to report distances to your teammates, you can't just report your own estimated distance. You need an object as a reference point. You need to subtract the distance between you and the reference point from your calculated distance before you can give your teammates the data for reference.

一般的射击靶大概是55厘米的正方形，它在你的瞄准镜里占两个格，那就是：0.55÷2x1000=275米。

The shooting target in front of you is 275 meters away.

If the distance is far, you also need to calculate the temperature, wind force, and even the effect of bullet drop, in order to adjust the position of the scope.

After you took aim, Keegan came over with a partition.

Starting from the very edge, he crouched down and used a partition to block the soldier's face from the scope.

"shooting."

At his command, after the soldiers finished firing, Keegan observed the results through binoculars, then tallied the scores and wrote them down on a piece of paper clipped to the partition.

After everyone else had finished shooting, it was finally your turn.

"Are you ready?"

Keegan is asking you.

You look at the target, not even raising your head, and answer, "I'm ready, instructor."

Keegan bent down, and a black partition fell in front of you, obscuring your view at close range.

"shooting."

As soon as Keegan spoke, you held your breath and fired the first shot.

The partition in front of him was removed, Keegan picked up his binoculars, looked around, and then uttered a chilling remark.

"yn, deduct two points."

Your mind went completely blank for a moment.

Two points deducted...two points deducted!

In other words, you not only missed the target circle, you didn't even hit the wooden frame next to the target circle!

Your teammates in front of you and behind you all scored points, but you lost two points, which made you very disappointed.
