The wiry soldier's confidence faltered for the first time. His gaze darted between his own respectable grouping and Noah's impeccable precision.
He clenched his jaw, refusing to let his shock show.
The buzz-cut soldier let out a low whistle, his disbelief breaking the silence. "Lieutenant Adam... where did you find this freak?" His voice carried a mixture of awe and incredulity.

Noah didn't let the murmurs distract him.
Moving to the longest-range target, he adjusted his aim with a calm efficiency that sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers. The wiry soldier followed suit, and his determination reignited. He fired his shots, and while they were excellent, a few strayed slightly outside the bullseye.
