Julian looked at her smiling face and clapped excitedly to cheer her on. Overall, he was indeed impressed that she managed to hit the target from such a distance.
Rayne walked over and handed Julian the gun, then ran off to reset the tin cans.
Julian looked at the loaded gun in his hand and shook his head. This girl is way too trusting.
She ran back to the picnic table and looked smugly at Julian. "Okay, Mr. Master Marksman, let's see what you can do!" she teased.
Julian's competitive spirit ignited at her "prove yourself" tone. He rarely felt the need to show off, but for some reason, he wanted to be a little extra in front of Rayne.
Julian stayed sitting on the bench and lifted his arm, holding the gun up. He held his position for a few seconds, then...
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He shot three consecutive shots without any delay, hitting each can cleanly off the tree stump.
