[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Keegan seemed to have anticipated this, as he took out a white rectangular object, opened it, and took out the gloves inside.

As if considering your inconvenience, he thoughtfully opened the gloves for you and then handed them to you by both ends.

Keegan: "Put your hand in."

Although you were embarrassed, you obediently put your right hand inside, letting the glove fully cover your entire palm.

There's no way around it, there's no water for you to wash your hands here, and you'll get your gloves dirty if you do it yourself.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble. Instructor, you are very thoughtful."

Keegan didn't respond to your question, but simply urged you, "Eat."

You nod and immediately use your gloved hands to pick up a piece of fried meat from the takeout box.

While you were eating, Keegan quietly stepped aside, picked up the binoculars on the ground, and held them in front of his eyes to observe the results of your shooting.

Thinking about your scores, most of which are only 5 or 6 rings, you immediately get nervous, quickly chew and swallow what's in your mouth, and then try to explain yourself.

"I feel like I'm much more used to it now. I even scored a 9-ring on my shot just now!"

Even though it only happened once, it doesn't stop you from saving face for yourself.

Keegan put down his binoculars and said calmly, "It's clear that your efforts have paid off."

Receiving affirmation is like getting a shot of adrenaline; you feel instantly energized!

After taking a few bites, you put the remaining takeout box on the table and then made some bold statements.

"I'm going to keep going! I'm determined to get three 10s today!"

Keegan gestured towards the firing position, his voice tinged with amusement.

"Come on, show time!"

A deep, husky voice, with a slight tremor, rang out, like an electric current drilling into the ears and then traveling to the heart, where it beat like a drum.

You were stunned for a moment.

You know, Keegan's voice is already beautiful, but this deliberately slowed tone and the hint of laughter in his voice make it even more sexy.

Under Keegan's gaze, you quickly snapped back to reality and then hurriedly lay down on the ground.

As you were aiming at the target, Keegan slowly walked away and picked up a partition from a nearby table.

As you lie on the ground, the pounding of your heart makes the sniper scope in your eyes tremble slightly.

What...

Take a deep breath to calm yourself down, then focus your attention on the scope.

"Are you ready?"

Keegan's voice came from behind again.

Your hand holding the gun trembled slightly, then you replied:

"Hold on."

A few seconds later, you spoke again: "Instructor, I'm ready."

A hand holding a black partition is pointing downwards, blocking your view...

Chapter 75: Weapons or Hidden Weapons

sudden--

You pull the trigger, unleashing a long-awaited shot.

The partition is removed, and Keegan Station is crouched beside you, picking up binoculars to take a look.

Then, he let out a soft chuckle.

"Well done, Kid! You've achieved your first 10 rings."

Upon hearing this, your eyes widened slightly, and then you quickly got up.

"Really!? Let me see!"

Keegan hands you the binoculars, and you take them and eagerly look through them.

On the shooting target, which was already riddled with bullet holes, a new bullet hole appeared in the center of the red circle.

You put down the binoculars and laughed excitedly:

"I knew I could do it!"

The fact that you've been hitting it for so long without much effect is probably because you've been closing your eyes. Closing your eyes can weaken your senses and balance.

Sure enough, it's more stable to have someone help block the view.

Keegan nodded approvingly: "It seems the next two 10s will come soon."

Once you get used to observing with both eyes, the subsequent progress will become easier.

Perhaps because of a good start, everything went smoothly afterward, and your next ten shots were all quite good.

Most shots were 8 or 9 rings, with the worst shot still being a 7 ring.

Although there weren't any perfect 10s in this round, the significantly improved scores boosted your confidence, allowing you to relax and happily move on to the next round.

I don't know if it was because you were relaxed, but you didn't fire many shots this time and you got a 10 ring again.

"10 rings, add 10 points."

In my ears, I could hear Keegan announcing the results.

Keep up the good work and fire another shot right away.

"10 rings, add 10 points."

Keegan: "Kid, you've achieved your goal."

Hearing Keegan say that, you didn't move, your eyes still fixed on the sniper scope.

"Instructor, I'd like to finish firing these shots. Could you please help me out a little more?"

You said to Keegan without even looking up.

You have four bullets left in your gun. You want to finish them off and see your score for this round.

Keegan didn't say much about your request. He squatted down beside you and continued to use the partition to block your view.

Suddenly, another shot was fired.

"8 rings, add 8 points."

Keegan continues the broadcast.

Then he told you, "Stay calm, Kid."

"Um...!"

Just as you answered him, you suddenly felt a loosening of your scalp as a strand of hair fell down and blocked your view.

It turns out, the hair tie on your hair that you casually tied this morning snapped!

Having your hair disheveled would definitely make shooting difficult, so you prop yourself up and start looking around at the ground.

You're looking for your hair tie; maybe if you tie a knot, you can still use it.

Keegan noticed your situation, but he didn't have anything on him that you could use to tie your hair.

So he suggested, "If it really doesn't work out, let's call it a day."

You shook your head and insisted, "No, I want to see what I can achieve this time."

As for the hair...

You glanced around casually, then stood up, walked to a clump of low bushes, and broke off a branch.

You walk back to your shooting position, sit down, and place the branch aside.

Under Keegan's curious gaze, you raise your hands to gather your hair together, then simply twist and turn it. Next, you pick up a branch from the ground, wrap it around your hair, and with a few pokes and flicks, your hair is styled into a bun.

Suddenly, you pause, and an idea flashes through your mind.

But the next second, you were lying back on the ground.

Keegan then remarked, "I never imagined hair could be styled like this."

You introduce it with a smile: "A Chinese-style updo."

Keegan nodded: "Very artistic."

The remaining three shots were fired quickly, and Keegan tallied the results for you.

A total of 9 points were deducted, resulting in a final score of 91 points.

You are quite satisfied with this result.

You don't expect to become incredibly skilled in a single day, but you should at least set a benchmark for yourself.

Keegan extends his hand to you: "Kid, congratulations."

You reach out and shake hands with Keegan.

"Thanks to your guidance, instructor, otherwise I might have been pondering this for a long time."

However, you only just realized that Keegan has been calling you "Kid" ever since he came back. Although he had called you "kid" before, he had never used it as a formal address so naturally.

But you don't care; on the contrary, you're happy about it.

After all, when your superior stops calling you by your name and starts calling you by your nickname or pet name, it proves that you have transcended being just a subordinate in your superior's mind and that the relationship has taken a step further.

When you have a good relationship with someone, you'll receive more guidance and care, which is a good thing.

Suddenly, a ringtone sounds—it's your alarm!

This is the alarm you set for your afternoon medical class!

You quickly took out your phone and turned it off, then said to Keegan:

"Instructor Keegan, I have to rush to my elective course, so I'll be going now!"

Seeing your anxious expression, Keegan nodded: "You seem to be in a hurry. Leave the gun here, I'll collect it later."
