Chapter 843: Was There Anyone Who Didn’t Like Praise?
The instructor looked at Min Jian and saw him looking at Huo Yao, so he asked softly. “Director Min, shall I call her over?”
Min Jian stood with his hands behind him and looked at her intently.
After Huo Yao gave Yuan Xi some tips, Yuan Xi pulled the trigger and sent the bullets whizzing into the air.
Although she did not hit the bullseye, it was close enough.
Yuan Xi lay p.r.o.ne on the ground and looked at her results. She could not believe her eyes. “… Have I finally managed to hit the target?”
Huo Yao glanced sideways at her and took a step back before she said mildly, “Keep practicing.”
Yuan Xi acknowledged her softly. She promptly regained confidence and positioned the gun, aimed and fired.
Since Huo Yao did not help check Yuan Xi’s aiming this time, Yuan Xi missed the target altogether.
Yuan Xi went quiet.
She didn’t get anything this time.
Yuan Xi cleared her throat awkwardly. She looked sideways at Huo Yao pitifully. “Can you teach me again?”
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. Shouldn’t anyone with hands be capable of playing this game?
Despite her disdain, she patiently taught Yuan Xi one more time.
The second time around, Yuan Xi listened to Huo Yao seriously and was also able to grasp what she was saying. The moment she pulled the trigger, she hit the bullseye.
Min Jian raised his head and glanced at her before veering his eyes. He replied to the instructor. “It’s fine.”
Although it was some distance away, he had a keen hearing, so he was able to hear how Huo Yao had instructed Yuan Xi.
Huo Yao was very confident and had a deep insight into shooting.
She was clearly very intelligent.
Min Jian said nothing. Instead, he walked over to the next team unhurriedly while they were doing target practice.
Jiang Hua had kept her eye on the instructor. There was an unknown man dressed in army uniform with the instructor. Judging from how respectful the instructor was, it was clear that he was a high-ranking and important officer.
She heard a female senior saying that all the instructors sent to do military training at Tsing University were soldiers from the army. If any of them commended her for her performance, she would get extra credit.
Was there anyone who didn’t like praise?
The moment Min Jian walked over, she took the gun, lay p.r.o.ne on the ground nimbly before she aimed, and fired in one fluid motion.
Out of the five bullets she fired, four of them hit the bullseye. She was undoubtedly the best marksman in her team.
After firing, Jiang Hua stood up and straightened her body with the airs of a female soldier.
Her teammate praised her. “Jiang Hua, that was brilliant. Even though we learned to shoot together, we kept missing the target at the beginning, but you were able to get the bullseye again and again. You rock!”
Jiang Hua pursed her lips and smiled as she lapped up the praise. She said unhurriedly, “No, don’t say that. I was just lucky.”
“You are probably the best marksman among all the freshmen.” This freshman clearly did not witness Huo Yao’s shooting earlier.
Jiang Hua glanced at the instructor from the corner of her eye and saw him walking over. She straightened her back and said humbly, “That’s not true. I just happened to have a very deep interest in shooting.”
“Haha! It still doesn’t conceal the fact that you are a sharp shooter.”
Jiang Hua kept smiling and looked confident. The moment the instructor walked over, she composed herself and saluted him reverently. With every move she made, she looked exactly like a soldier and was able to execute the things she had learned during military training perfectly.
The other students did not realize till now that the instructor was present.
