Chapter 317 - Comparisons Are Odious!

“It wasn’t me.”

Gu Qingjiu tried to explain herself. “It was the Chief Instructor...”

“Why? Did your Chief Instructor force you into it?”

Gu Qingmo clearly didn’t believe her. “You didn’t seem pleased and happy when you looked at the time.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She had an urge to wallop someone.

“Alright, it’s so late already. Let’s go back and rest.”

After they had joked around, Gu Qingmo didn’t waste time with Gu Qingjiu outside.

The two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingjiu returned to the military school first.

She had called Qi Xiaoran, but the latter said she would return in the afternoon.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu didn’t ask her any more questions.

The first thing Gu Qingjiu did after returning to the military school was to begin her target shooting training.

After all, she only had an afternoon to practice.

She had to practice for a bit to make sure that she would pass tomorrow.

As it was a Sunday, there weren’t many people in the shooting range.

There were no individual shooting ranges for the different faculty buildings.

But in order to save space, several specializations that were located near to each other would train together.

This was the reason why Gu Qian and Chu Lian would train at the same shooting range as Gu Qingjiu.

When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the shooting range, she saw that there were only a few students training there.

To engage in additional training time in the shooting range, one would need to use up some military points. They weren’t allowed to use the place for training as much as they pleased.

Else with so many people in the school, there wouldn’t be enough shooting ranges for everyone to use.

The only benefit Qin Huai provided Gu Qingjiu was perhaps the unlimited usage of the shooting range.

What surprised Gu Qingjiu was seeing that Xiong Xuejian was around as well.

He seemed to be supervising these students who were training.

Upon seeing Gu Qingjiu, his eyes lit up and he waved at her. “Gu Qingjiu, come over here.”

Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment before walking over. She saluted at Xiong Xuejian. “Hello, Instructor.”

Xiong Xuejian nodded at Gu Qingjiu with a benign countenance. “Here to train?”

Gu Qingjiu nodded.

“Just as well. Let me see what you’re capable of.”

Xiong Xuejian seemed to wish to see Gu Qingjiu perform with his own eyes.

Gu Qingjiu naturally didn’t raise any objection.

Whether or not Xiong Xuejian was watching her by the side didn’t affect her at all.

After she had selected the gun she was going to use for training, Gu Qingjiu carefully examined the item.

Having confirmed that there wasn’t a problem with it, she prepared to commence her training.

Xiong Xuejian watched her by the side, slightly astonished.

He felt that after Gu Qingjiu held a gun in her hands, her calm manner made her exude a swift and fierce aura.

As though she was an entirely different person when she was holding a gun.

After getting into position, she looked at the faraway target with her eyes narrowed, before firing a crisp and clean shot with a bang.

“Beep! Target number 3, ninth ring!”

Ninth ring, but still Xiong Xuejian felt astounded.

Witnessing Gu Qingjiu hit this close to bullseye with his own eyes was still pretty shocking.

Most importantly, this was Gu Qingjiu’s first shot. It was obviously a quick and casual shot.

This result was indeed shocking.

Those students around her, who saw Gu Qingjiu hit the ninth ring, couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

They even slowed down their actions.

With Gu Qingjiu giving them such great pressure, they felt embarrassed to practice as their results paled a lot in comparison.

Moreover, they also heard that she had just transferred over and that this was her first time practicing with a hundred-meters target.

This result easily beat theirs.

Indeed, comparisons are odious!
