It was not an exaggeration to say that Ye Jian had been progressing at a marvelously fast speed. The more knowledge she was exposed to, the faster she could absorb it. In private, Princ.i.p.al Chen and Grandpa Gen had been complimenting her numerous times, and they had become more confident in Ye Jian.

Unfolding the table and chairs for outdoor usage, Princ.i.p.al Chen motioned for Ye Jian to sit down. Under the scorching sun in the afternoon, he began to impart the theories of sniping to Ye Jian.

Snipers had so much to learn, from lurking to forming a shooting position, from accurately interpreting a map to taking aerial photos of the battlefields. Ye Jian also needed to learn how to enter and exit the battlefields covertly.

She had one and a half years before graduating from junior high. This time was enough for her to crazily absorb this kind of knowledge, which would be beneficial for her whole life.

“Shoot only one bullet, remember, never shoot a second bullet. Don’t give your enemy an opportunity to look for the direction of your bullets! If you can destroy your target by firing only one bullet, you are a winner in the sniping battlefields.”

“The first shot is a matter of life and death. You need to observe the direction of the wind, the weather, and the visibility. In the case of a long shooting distance, the wind speed and the bullet’s gravity will change the trajectory of the bullet. As the saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile. If you miss your first shot, you will alarm your enemy and expose yourself. And it is probably your enemy who will fire the second bullet.”

“Accurately measure the range, the wind speed, the bullet trajectory. And then rely on your instincts to complete your shot!”

While listening to the lecture of Princ.i.p.al Chen, Ye Jian used her slender hands to gently stroke the sniper rifle borrowed from the army. There was a serious look on her paint-smeared face.

She had begun to show the cold and fierce spirit that a sniper should possess.

In the evening, it was Grandpa Gen who took Ye Jian into the ammunition storage of the army. Apart from identifying the guns and ammo and quickly a.s.sembling the guns, she needed to combat against the soldiers in the army.
