In the stadium, only Holly hadn't fired his rifle. The reflection in everyone's eyes showed him lifting up and lowering his gun. Everyone felt Holly's uncertainty.
The audience looked at Holly with eager eyes, including the referee of the match, but the referee didn't press Holly. It was the last shot in the competition, and it was the shot that would decide the final winner. Holly should spend extra time on preparing for this shot. They had already waited for hours for the competition, so they didn't mind waiting a few extra seconds.
Holly felt everyone's expectant gazes, and their expectation put more pressure on him.
9.5 points. I only need to get 9.5 points with this shot to win. This isn't hard for me, I only need to shoot normally! Even if I perform slightly worse than usual, I will still be able to get 9.5 points!
Holly encouraged himself continuously, but he didn't realize that this exposed his desperation and lack of confidence.
