The next few days were naturally filled with such boring and monotonous shooting training.
After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Even the most skilled shooters and mecha warriors have to accumulate knowledge bit by bit in their daily lives.
Jiang Hui thought that they would probably continue this kind of static shooting training until the end of the training. Because for beginners, static shooting is the most suitable way to build a foundation. Although the form is a little rigid, the effect is more stable.
In fact, she wanted to try the method of training with moving targets, but since Nie Erqi didn't teach her, she had no choice but to wait until school started and practice in the simulation training room.
However, in such ordinary and boring training, there was still something slightly unusual, or it should be said that she herself felt something was unusual.
Not sure if it was her illusion or she was just too narcissistic, but she felt that... the practice environment had changed a little.
How should I put it? She felt like she was standing up.
Her shooting skills were getting better and better, improving at a level visible to the naked eye, and sometimes her accuracy was so good that it startled herself.
Although it is only a static target at present, it stands out among the bunch of young beginners and even has a tendency to stand out.
What made Jiang Hui feel that the atmosphere was not right was not only the envy, jealousy, eagerness and unwillingness of her classmates, nor was it Clarence who was becoming more and more anxious and looking at her more and more like an imaginary enemy, but also the pressure from the two instructors.
Well, she knew that saying this was a bit too much. But speaking of the matter, she was not someone who was used to being in the spotlight, or rather, she had always played a relatively ordinary role in her short twenty years of life. Later, when her parents were gone, even fewer people would look forward to her.
She was also used to putting on a thick layer of mediocrity as a protective shield and blending in with the crowd in society, thinking that her life would pass like this. Who would have thought that this person could live another life, and it would be a life that was destined to be completely different from her previous life.
But now all this has suddenly changed. She has come to a wonderful future world with infinite possibilities. She has a broader platform and resources than in her previous life. She even has excellent resources from the very beginning in such a world where resources are almost determined by talent.
These are all the blessings left to her by her original body, and she is very grateful.
But as an ordinary person who has been doing this for a long time, she naturally couldn't adapt to this sudden feeling of being focused on, and she didn't know what to do. This feeling had affected her mentality and normal training, making her feel at a loss.
She thought... maybe, maybe she still needs to get used to it. Jiang Hui couldn't control her thoughts, but her hands kept moving and she concentrated and fired again.
The burning gaze behind him suddenly deepened, making Jiang Hui feel a tingling sensation on his back. Brother, are you getting sicker? Although she didn't need to be afraid of such a young man with no bad intentions, it didn't mean that she liked being treated as a real imaginary enemy.
Jiang Hui didn't think that this kind of mentality, which was essentially similar to paranoia, was good, because if you were to be honest, Mr. Carl, who was expelled from school after receiving a red card, actually had a similar mentality. It was just that the other party obviously transformed it into deep malice and put it into action.
Alas, this Clarence classmate is really arrogant, and he is unwilling to be inferior to others in any way. He doesn't know that there is no perfect person in this world. The more a person pursues perfection, the easier it is to be broken, because he simply cannot accept his own flaws.
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with her, and she has no power to care about it. Jiang Hui just doesn't want to create another enemy for herself for no reason.
Jiang Hui could only pretend that she didn't notice anything and stepped back to change the wheel without looking around. She didn't see that it was because of her attitude that made the people in the back row more impatient and their faces turned a little ugly.
The undercurrent between the two of them, or rather the unilateral undercurrent of one person, caught the eyes of Nie Erqi who had been secretly observing, and the other party couldn't help but feel a little interested.
The young master of the Clarence family has a good temperament, sharp and arrogant, but he does have this ability. If he can be polished, he will be a natural general. There are as many people like this in every generation in the galaxy, but they are also the most indispensable and rare.
But the most strange thing is the female student named Jiang Hui. She is talented and seems to have a good character. She is calm enough both on the shooting range and in daily life. Even if such people are not necessarily arrogant, there are relatively few people who are used to restraining their own light and deliberately ignore the light in themselves and sink into the crowd.
Nie Erqi felt that the other person was really contradictory, lacking a bit of the spirit that young people have, and having more of the roundness and dullness that is deliberately formed by the ups and downs of the world. And it was the existence of the latter that affected the light on her body, making her own light not so bright.
He had also roughly observed the other party in the past two days, and he found that his initial evaluation of Jiang Hui might have been conservative. The other party was not only a potential shooter, but could even be said to be a natural hunter.
She has a strong sense of all changes in the surrounding environment, whether it is people or objects. This is an attitude that distinguishes her from everyone else present. Others may treat the present as a training exercise - a harmless activity or a platform to improve their own abilities. Only Jiang Hui focuses on every shot - every shot is like a hunter ambushing his prey and risking everything.
She was obsessed with every shot, even if it was from a laser gun that looked like it had no lethality. She was also immersed in the simple process of finding the target, aiming, and pulling the trigger, trying to make the process smoother and smoother, and it became a memory that was ingrained in her muscles and even her bones.
Immersion and obsession are what a qualified "hunter" should have. Nie Erqi gradually understood this under the guidance of his mentor after college, but when did the other party understand this
So although Jiang Hui is actually not as good as Clarence in terms of stability and cumulative accuracy, Nie Erqi is obviously more optimistic about the former than the latter.
As for Clarence, his background is too different from Hunter for the time being, and he is more suitable for some other roles. It can be seen that the child has always had the best of everything since he was a child. He would probably regard a little setback in life as a shame and hardship. Such a person is doomed to suffer in the pursuit of survival unless he has experienced enough - just like it is easy to look down from a high place, but it is difficult to climb up.
