Chapter 151 Ma Yangrui's Enthusiasm
As soon as Xi Yu put down her gun, she felt a fervent gaze fall upon her.
The person watching her was Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui, the instructor in charge of shooting training.
Xi Yu noticed a glint of light flashing in the man's eyes—a look of predatory delight and extreme excitement.
She frowned, puzzled as to why the instructor was looking at her like that. Although her shooting scores were good, they were still not as good as Fang Yiqing's and Di Han's.
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui was anxiously waiting for this opportunity. With his keen eye, he could naturally see that Xi Yu's last bullet was deliberately fired at the outer edge of the circle!
Initially, he planned to move the target to 600 meters and have the freshmen shoot at it with a gun that had a maximum range of 400 meters, taking the opportunity to test Xi Yu's amazing skills. But this ridiculous idea was ruthlessly rejected by Lieutenant Colonel Yu Hao, who also scolded him!
Xi Yu returned to the team, and Ruan Zilu had quietly moved to her side, whispering praise, "Xiao Yu is amazing! I didn't expect your marksmanship to be so good, you look so cool..."
“I’m pretty good at shooting,” Xi Yu replied softly, then chatted with her casually, “How was your morning class? Was it alright?”
"It's a bit tough... After learning combat skills for an hour, I had to repeat two hours of physical training and an hour of actual combat practice..." Ruan Zilu said with a wry smile, hugging his knees and curling up into a ball.
There was something even more painful that Ruan Zilu didn't say. Because she was the freshman with the highest potential value in all previous years, she received a lot of attention. There were countless people like Wei Zi who constantly surrounded her, trying to uncover the secret of her potential value.
When they discovered that the person with the highest potential was actually only so-so, they were disappointed, and some even mocked and laughed at her to her face.
Xi Yu sighed slightly; Ruan Zilu's situation was rather complicated.
A person with a high level of mental strength is not necessarily a strong fighter; many people use their mental strength for brain development.
"When you feel that training is too tough, you might as well take a break, calm down, and feel the air around you. It might help you relax," Xi Yu could only suggest gently.
Ruan Zilu didn't understand, but she still sincerely thanked him.
Today's shooting training was just a process for the instructors to assess the students' abilities, so progress was relatively slow. Starting tomorrow, it will be formal training, and there will be moving live targets. No one will have time to rest, and it will no longer be just watching a performance.
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui personally demonstrated shooting at the end. With the same gun and the same target, he could hit the small dot every time without any deviation, and his shooting speed was also very fast.
He then switched to a long-range sniper rifle and fired three shots, accurately hitting a target 1500 meters away, which immediately amazed the freshmen.
"Snipers are extremely important in a legion; they are the soul of the legion, formless, hunting in the shadows. A good sniper can provide cover for teammates and also take down enemies from afar," Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui said in a loud voice, his eyes sweeping over the freshmen in front of him.
"I really hope that within three years, some of you will become qualified snipers! And I—can help you!" Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui shouted sternly, which shocked everyone.
Xi Yu lowered her eyelashes slightly; she had a feeling that Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui was looking at her as he spoke.
