Steven followed Leaf and his subordinates to the prepared shooting range.
"Ok, kiddo, here's the gun to target that dummy over there," Leaf said.
Steven picked up the gun and glanced at the dummy target.
"It's amusing, seeing a rookie miss a few times. Maybe he'll get angry and upset because he can't hit the target," said one of his subordinates who was watching Steven.
"Hey, you're talking nasty," said another subordinate.
"Come on, we rarely get this kind of entertainment. Guarding the fort all day is boring," said a subordinate who looked down on Steven.
While observing the target to be shot, Steven also heard Leaf's subordinates belittling him. It was enough to make Steven's ears burn.
"IC-MB pistol. One shot and burst. Ok, this is easy," Steven thought.
"Ok, Steven, this is definitely not your first shot, right? So go for it," Leaf said.
Hearing this, Steven immediately took a shooting position and pointed the muzzle of his gun at the target. Shortly after, Steven shot the human-shaped dummy, and the shot hit the head.
"It was right on the head," said Leaf's subordinate.
"That was lucky," said a subordinate who underestimated Steven.
"Good, good. Now shoot 3 dolls," said Leaf.
Steven then looked at the other 3 dummies that were at different distances and positions. The center dummy is slightly far away, the left is close, and the right is quite close.
Without much observation, Steven shot the 3 dummies quickly, and all hit the head.
Leaf's subordinates who saw were quite surprised at the speed and accuracy of Steven's shooting.
"Oh, that's cool. You're talented," said Dobi.
"Good, good. Now I give you a challenge. Shoot the dummy the farthest with only this gun, and with 4 shots in a 1-shot mode. If you hit them all, you can choose which weapon you want to use next," Leaf said.
"Captain, isn't that too much? Only with a gun? It's not the gun, it's the distance. That's 35 meters, more than the standard of our rookie soldiers," said Dobi.
"Come on, Dobi, it's just a challenge, no harm done. Besides, I'm giving him this challenge because he always hits the nail on the head," Leaf said.
"Yeah, never mind," said Dobi.
"Take it easy, sir, it's easy," Steven said with a confident tone.
"Hahaha... how confident you are. I like that," Leaf said. However, it was different with Dobi, because hearing Steven who was rather arrogant made Dobi underestimate him.
"4 shots, with 1 continuous shot at 35 meters for beginners. It won't hit anyone," said Leaf's subordinate who underestimated Steven earlier.
"Hey, you seem to hate him so much," said another subordinate.
"Hate? No, it's impossible," said the subordinate.
Steven heard that, immediately accepted the challenge, and then looked at the distant target.
After observing the target, Steven pointed the muzzle of his gun at the target and began to aim.
Then, four consecutive gunshots rang out, and everyone there saw the target being shot at.
After the firing stopped, one of the soldiers checked the dummy target for accuracy. After checking, the soldier shouts from the dummy's position.
"Four shots, all hit. Three hit the head and one the chest."
"Damn, one didn't fit, but at least it hit all of them," Steven said.
"Wow, that's a good shot. Even beyond my expectations," Leaf said.
"Oh, he hit everything," said Leaf's subordinate.
Leaf's subordinate who looked down on Steven then looked up at Steven, and they both stared at each other.
Steven then puts on a smug face to the person who belittles him, and the person gets annoyed with him. The friend next to him laughed at that.
"Good, Steven, now as promised, you can try using any weapon here," Leaf said.
"Can I have anything? Seriously, anything here?" said Steven to make sure.
"That's right, I'm not lying," Leaf said.
"Ok, then, I'll pick the weirdest and most unique one," Steven said.
"Go ahead, whatever is here," Leaf said with a smile.
Hearing that, Steven immediately looked around at the weapons on the table nearby. On the table, there were many types of weapons, ranging from pistols to high-caliber machine guns.
However, Steven, who looked around and examined the weapons, was not satisfied with the weapons there.
"Is this the only weapon here?" asked Steven.
"Yes, there's only this here. Don't get your hopes up for good weapons in this guardhouse. Are the weapons here not interesting enough for you?" said Leaf.
"Well... everything is interesting. I want to try them all, but I want to try weapons that are rarely seen or new types of weapons or even experimental ones," said Steven, who was a little hopeful.
"How could there be such a thing? Advanced weapons, especially new ones, are usually held by special units," Leaf said.
"Yeah, that's true too," said Steven, a little disappointed.
"Captain, maybe the shipment of weapons from the center is good for him," said one of his subordinates who also saw Steven shoot.
"Has the shipment of weapons arrived?" asked Leaf to reconfirm.
"Right, Captain, there are two trucks of weapons there," said his subordinate.
"Good, come on, Steven, let's go there. Who knows if there's a weapon that catches your eye," Leaf said.
After that, Leaf, Dobi, Steven, and some of Leaf's subordinates headed for the newly delivered weapons from the city's military armament center.
One subordinate opened the rear, left and right side gun doors of the truck containing new weapons and equipment, and another subordinate opened another truck containing ammunition.
"They really sent a new type of weapon. I couldn't believe it," Dobi said as he picked up a new model pistol.
"It wasn't just you, Dobi, who was surprised. We were all surprised when the truck carrying the weapons came here," said a subordinate.
"What's wrong with the center? Previously, they rejected our request," said Dobi.
"I don't know," said a subordinate.
Leaf, who had left for a moment to confirm that the weapon was indeed sent to this guard post, returned.
"These two trucks of weapons were indeed sent here. It's not a misdelivery or anything. Looks like they changed their minds. Well then, Steven, what weapon would you like to try?" said Leaf.
"Hm... I'll look around first. Some are interesting, but I'll look at them one by one," said Steven.
"Choose the right one. I'll check the documents for a while. Dobi, help Steven," Leaf said, then left.
"So, Steven, have you found the weapon you want to try?" asked Dobi.
"I don't know, I'm confused now. They're all so good and so cool," said Steven.
"You're a weapons maniac, aren't you?" said Dobi.
"I don't know, my friend likes to say that," said Steven.
After a while of looking around, Steven saw a very long piece of metal. It made Steven curious about its contents.
"Mr. Dobi, can I open this?" asked Steven with curious eyes.
"It's okay," Dobi said, then tried to open the box.
Once opened, it reveals a weapon with a unique shape that looks different from the others.
