[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

After the morning's routine training, you went to the equipment department to collect your training gear.

This isn't the first time you've handled a gun, but the thought of actually firing one still excites you.

The training rifles used were M4 carbines, an American-made assault rifle.

It is characterized by its light weight, ease of operation, good accuracy and stability, and durability. It is well-suited for recruit training and combat.

Once you're fully equipped, set off quickly.

Today we won't be meeting in the square, but at the shooting range, and you'll need to walk there.

On the shooting range, the new recruits stood in neat rows, waiting for their instructors to arrive.

A moment later, the man wearing a skull mask walked steadily in front of you.

"Load the ammunition."

He didn't offer any didactic remarks; he went straight to the point.

Fortunately, you had shooting practice during your previous military training, otherwise you would have been completely clueless at this pace.

You quickly take the brass-colored bullets out of the bag and load them into the magazine one by one.

After loading the bullets, we waited for the target positions to be assigned.

There are only ten targets in the shooting range. You will enter in groups and batches.

There are three groups in total, and you are in the second group, the same group as Blizzard. Is this the attraction of friendship?

Each group takes a considerable amount of time; they need to properly set up the gun, grip it correctly, aim correctly, and then wait for the instructor's inspection before pulling the trigger.

The ghost strolled behind them, holding a pointer, observing them with downcast eyes.

There were no major problems with the first group. He only corrected the posture of the two recruits before announcing that they could start shooting.

This training included shooting in five positions: standing, kneeling, prone, sideways, and supine.

Each person has five bullets, one bullet for each stance, and after each shot, they change stances before firing the next shot.

The target has ten rings, which are divided into 1-10 points from the outside to the inside, with a maximum score of fifty points.

Several gunshots rang out, and the first round of shooting ended.

After five rounds, it finally ended after almost half an hour.

Then, check the scores.

Chapter 8: Lieutenant, you're so cool!

"41!"

"43!"

"43!"

"42!"

......

Ultimately, the highest score in the first group was 46 points.

Next up was the second group.

You were a little nervous, and you felt your palms sweating. You subconsciously wiped them on your clothes.

The first round is standing shooting. Stand with your legs slightly apart and bent to stabilize your body, hold the gun against your shoulder, and retract your right elbow to stabilize your view.

Everyone remained in their positions, awaiting the instructor's inspection.

You suppressed your nervousness and reassured yourself, "YN, relax, you can do it."

But as the ghost's footsteps stopped behind you, your heart still raced uncontrollably.

He tapped your feet with a pointer.

"Separate the front and back."

You immediately changed your posture and replied, "Yes, Lieutenant."

After scanning you for a while, he held your gun with one hand and asked a question.

"How much did you adjust the scale?"

You quickly checked, then felt guilty.

But you still have to reply truthfully: "Reporting to Lieutenant Lieutenant, approximately... six hundred meters?"

The ghost confirmed again: "Six hundred meters?"

You reluctantly replied, "Yes, Lieutenant."

He moved closer, his deep voice booming in your ear: "You're a fucking idiot! This is a rifle, we're practicing 100-meter shooting!"

You immediately admitted your mistake: "Sorry, Lieutenant, I'll adjust right away!"

He stood up, his tone mocking: "Six hundred meters, you're really good sniper material."

You dared not utter a sound when mocked, silently staring ahead.

Fortunately, he checked for a while longer, found no problems, and then left.

You breathed a sigh of relief, but blamed yourself for being so nervous that you made such a basic mistake as not adjusting the scale.

After the inspection was completed, a firing command sounded, and you pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by a recoil that struck your shoulder and dissipated.

Then comes kneeling firing, where you steadily fire a bullet.

Lying down... you feel the ghost standing behind you again.

Then something hard poked into your butt.

It was the teaching stick in his hand.

"Keep close to the ground."

You listened and did as he said, and only relaxed after he had walked away.

You initially thought that although there were some minor issues, you would at least be able to complete the shooting smoothly.

But in the final supine position, you just can't maintain your balance. It feels like the equipment in front of you is always blocking you, making it impossible for you to stay in place.

Damn it, you've never practiced this pose!

Looking around at my teammates, I was really curious about how they managed to keep it up!

You wanted to ask a question but didn't dare, so you had to find your own balance. But your actions were too obvious, and the instructor, Ghost, had no choice but to come over.

"stand up!"

He commands you.

You quickly got up and said sheepishly, "Sorry, Lieutenant, I'm not very good at this position."

He took your gun and said, "Watch this."

Then he lay down on the ground, spread his legs, rested the gun on his lap, and began to explain to you.

"Slightly tilt your upper body back and lean slightly to the right, using your right hand holding the gun to support yourself. This way, only your shoulders will be off the ground, so you won't put pressure on the equipment in front of you, and the tilting motion will be smaller."

Then he brought his head close to the gun and aimed.

"This range of motion also makes it easier for you to maintain aiming accuracy."

After saying that, he pulled the trigger!

Whew! Bullseye! 10 points!

You haven't even scored a perfect 10 yet, is this what you call skill?

You clapped your hands with admiration in your eyes and uttered compliments:

"Lieutenant, you're so cool!"

As soon as you said that, you felt everyone's eyes turn to you, and some people even whispered among themselves.

You looked completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

The ghost stood up, tilted its head slightly, and said, "So, should I give you my contact information next?"

His tone was a little strange, but you couldn't quite put your finger on why.

You couldn't very well defuse your superior's words, so you had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond:

"Huh? Is that okay?"

He chuckled, shoved the gun back at you, and then gave a loud warning.

“Keep shooting.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and those at the target positions adjusted their postures accordingly.

Seeing this, you didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly lay down on the ground.

Recalling the ghost's teachings, you gradually straightened your posture and finally stabilized.

Then, pull the trigger.

Rings 10!

A scream echoes in your mind: Ghost, you are my god!

Perhaps influenced by the ghost's guidance, nine out of ten people got ten rings in this round.

Finally, you check your ring count and calculate your score.

42 points.

You didn't get discouraged despite your slightly lower grades.

This time it's because you're not familiar with it yet; you'll try your best to do better in the future!

As soon as you stepped out of the shooting position, Blizzard and two girls from your dorm surrounded you.

One of the girls, Vita, gave you a thumbs up: "YN, you're so brave to treat the lieutenant like that!"
