Chapter 48 - Training from Hell (2/2)
“Left, 187; … Right, 591. Over!” Ye Jian was so focused that she could say the numbers correctly the moment they appeared on the board.
Not only was she highly concentrated, but her reaction speed had also reached an excellent level.
Starting from a certain moment, Princ.i.p.al Chen had been holding a folder and recording the training performance of Ye Jian on her first day.
The basic training and sniper training would be held simultaneously. And after two months of reinforced basic training, he would let Ye Jian touch authentic rifles, which would be loaded!
From Tuesday to Friday, Ye Jian was an ordinary student during the day.
But at night, she would turn into a sniper trainee, who have been receiving instructions to improve herself continuously.
In only a few days, her transformation had been apparent from the inside. The innocent and fragile features had been washed away from her face. She was no longer a budding flower. She had turned into a pine on the edge of a cliff that could withstand all kinds of adversities.
Such changes were subtle and gradual. People would have gotten used to the new Ye Jian by the time they realized she was different.
On the weekend, Ye Jian swiftly ran down from the mountain and back to her village. She slowed her pace gradually and walked step by step until she arrived before Grandpa Gen.
“Three minutes faster than last week. Not bad,” said Grandpa Gen while smoking from a water pipe. He placed his stopwatch into his chest pocket and looked at this hard-working girl who could bear hards.h.i.+ps. He said in a hoa.r.s.e and amiable voice,” Take your time. You will make progress gradually.”
After her exercise, her black eyes, which seemed like black obsidians that had been washed by water, were more resplendent than stars. Wiping away her sweat, Ye Jian said, “I’m patient, Grandpa. I will try my best to learn everything you and Princ.i.p.al Chen have been teaching me.”
