"So let's start practicing with the gun today, master, how should I hold it?" Vanessa changed the subject, getting off Nico and walking to the center of the field holding the gun up to the target.
"Stupid kitten, when you hold the gun in your right shoulder hand, the muzzle of the tiger should be aligned in a straight line and close to the neck portion of the gun." Nico coached Vanessa from behind in a hugging position, "You may not be able to take the impact with one hand right now, then pull the safety with your left hand, then grip the lower part of your right hand."
"The middle of the first knuckle of your index finger is resting on the trigger, leaving a gap between the inside of your index finger and the body of the gun, you're gripping it too tightly, loosen it up!" Nico kissed the top of Vanessa's head of hair, gentle as could be.
"Eyes front and bang!" As Nico spat out the last word, Nico held Vanessa's hand and pressed the trigger, firing out a shot that hit the bull's eye.
Vanessa felt the recoil of the gun and was carried backwards, hitting the hard chest behind her, freezing for a second, then rejoicing" Woah woah woah, hit the bullseye! Master, you're great too!"
Nico, also infected by Vanessa's giggle, stroked her hair and released her," Now try it yourself!"
"Yes!" Vanessa was confident, and posed earnestly as Nico had just taught her, staring straight ahead.
"BANG!"
The bullet impacted forward, and Vanessa took a small step back, her shoulder slightly sore.
"4...4rings?" Vanessa stared at the target incredulously, she had clearly followed what Nico had taught her, how could her score be so bad?
"Master...I don't understand..." Vanessa aggravatedly asked Nico for help.
"Just practice more, pay attention to the axis of the gun body being within the same vertical plane as the right arm." Nico raised his hand and pointed a few times.
"Okay...Okay" Vanessa thought that maybe her whole center of gravity had shifted, causing her eyes to be offset from the gun's firing range.
"Six rings."
...
"7rings"
"9Rings"
.....
"10rings."
"10rings."
Vanessa practiced intently, almost mind-melding with the gun, slowly getting better and better, and getting more and more gun-sensitive, shooting almost exclusively in the10ring.
"Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah," Nico's applause rang out in the quiet practice room, and his unstinting praise was heard, "Kitten's such a genius!It's only been a short hour and you've managed to shoot up to 10 rings."
"Really? I'm a genius?" Vanessa looked over at Nico in surprise, she was slow as hell at learning anything, and she was actually being praised as a genius?
"You're kind of on with the gun!" Nico took the gun out of her hand, "Let's go, we'll add it to your training together tomorrow."
"Huh?...Just don't practice? I still want to practice." It was so hard to find a sense of accomplishment in this, and Vanessa was so disappointed that she wasn't allowed to practice so soon.
"Too much is too much, your shoulder won't be able to take it tomorrow, go back and ask Andrew to get some medicine for you."
"Okay!" Vanessa moved, her right shoulder, it did feel sore and blocked.
.....
Nico was supposed to accompany her back, but took an impromptu phone call and went off on his own again, not to be seen for days on end.
Of course the training promised to her was arranged as it should be, and a blonde beauty became her coach, named Alice.
The name was Alice. It sounded like a very soft name, but this beautiful woman trained her without letting go.
Every day when she came back to the villa Vanessa was in a state of bruises, almost like taking a shower and falling asleep, with no energy to do anything else.
Only during her physiological period, the training would be a little easier, and only the firearms course would be trained.
Painfully happy, Vanessa lay in bed staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, but then she saw her cell phone, which hadn't rung in 10,000 years, finally ring with a familiar cell phone ringtone.
Vanessa got up with a jolt and picked up her cell phone, it was encrypted and blank, she didn't know who was calling, Vanessa cautiously tapped on it, "Hello?"
"Little wildcat." A familiar voice came through, oh it was Nico!
"Lord...Master?" Vanessa was a little disappointed and a little surprised, why were they calling her?" What's up?"
"Miss me?" Nico's low, husky voice carried some lingering meaning.
"I miss you, master, when are you coming back?" Vanessa lied without blushing.
"It will be another 3 days before I return, how much do you miss it?" A chasing Nico threw out another line.
"A state of teared up, I can't even eat when my master is not at home, oooh" Oh, not really! Because of the heavy amount of exercise training, even the amount of food has increased!
"Is that so, and how did Andrew tell me that you've been working up an appetite lately?" Nico demolished her nonchalantly.
"Uh..."Vanessa buckled her toes against the sheets in instant embarrassment.
"Hit the video, I want to see if the kitten has gained any weight." Nico hung up right after that, and before Vanessa could react, a video call screen popped up on her phone.
Vanessa knew it was Nico and quickly connected.
The handsome man on the other side was half lying on the bed in a white bathrobe, his wet dark brown hair was still dripping with water, and drop by drop it flowed onto his bare chest.
Well-developed pecs rippled with the man's breathing, and bright droplets of water leapt and bounced on his wheat-colored skin.
"Why don't you blow-dry your hair?" Vanessa swallowed shamefully at the sexy scene, then became concerned.
"Trouble!" Nico said in a muted voice.
"Then use a dry towel in case you catch a cold." Vanessa advised.
"Kitten, you sure have gained some weight." Nico digressed, poking at the word every girl hates to hear all at once.
