230 The Girl with 100% Accurate Shots... (1/2)
In the third round for Seiji and the others, Seiji was yet again voted the Blue Team commander, and he accepted once more.
With last round’s experience, he believed that he could perform even better than last time. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he was confident of winning and ensuring the ”survival” of all his teammates.
Yes, if nothing unexpected happened…
For some reason, after Seiji entered the gymnasium, he had an ominous premonition. He felt a faint sense of discomfort and felt that he had forgotten something important.
The whistle blew, signaling the start of the battle.
Seiji passed down orders to each small-team captain. They were to attempt a direct frontal attack.
That’s right—he'd changed his tactics.
He considered the fact that everyone outside had seen their tactics from the previous round. If some of them were now participating against him, they might be on guard, which was why he decided to change his strategy.
However, this was ultimately a mock battle-game, and everyone had varying levels of skill, so complex strategies were unfeasible. It was just a simple change.
Their direct attack… was rather successful—they managed to take out two Red Team members.
Just as Seiji was contemplating whether to press his advantage or to cautiously maintain the current balance and attempt a flanking attack, someone from Blue Team ‘died.’
‘No, I won't press the attack. I'll play it safer.’ Seiji decided on the latter strategy.
”Teams #3 and #4, don’t proceed any further…”
Before he even finished talking, he heard the announcement that two more Blue Team players had ‘died!’
”Commander, there’s an incredibly strong person on the other team; this person used only three shots to—”
*Boom!*
The sound of a grenade explosion interrupted the message on his walkie-talkie.
Seiji instantly heard the ‘death’ announcement for this person.
Four people had ‘perished!’
”Team #4, retreat! There’s an expert player in the Red Team! Hurry up and retreat!”
Seiji shouted into his walkie-talkie as he followed the sounds and looked in the direction of that particular battle.
There was fierce gunfire coming from that direction.
”Blue #13 has ‘died…’”
”Blue #14 has ‘died…’”
Another two people from Seiji’s team were killed.
”Team #4 squad leader! Please respond…”
”Damn it! I can’t even hit her!! What’s with that girl!?” He could hear Team #4's squad leader yelling in frustration.
A girl?
*Boom!* Seiji could faintly hear the unmistakable sound of a sniper shot through the walkie-talkie.
Then, there was an announcement that the Blue Team had lost another member—this time it was Team #4's squad leader.
”Everyone watch out: there’s an incredible female sniper on the enemy team! Everyone needs to protect their heads. Don't allow her to pick you off with a single shot!” He informed the remaining Blue Team members.
Teams #3 and #4 had been eradicated.
That one person… that single female sniper expert took out seven people all by herself!
‘Which movie did she come out of!? She’s a little too amazing as a main character, isn’t she!?’ While Seiji was energetically commenting in his mind, everyone outside watching the proceedings on the big screens was awestruck.
They had just witnessed a beautiful girl carrying a heavy laser sniper rifle and moving about as swiftly as a ghost. She dodged her enemies’ gunfire with incredible skill and used her chances to come out from cover, aim, and fire, one-hit-KOing every single one of her enemies.
For seven people, she only shot six times and made a headshot every time! She also took care of one person with a grenade.
How amazing could this person possibly be!?
If it weren’t for the fact that she was obviously a teenager and was still wearing the Genhana High School uniform, many people would misconstrue her as some type of special forces agent or secret assassin.
This definitely was far above the average level of someone who simply enjoyed field battles as a hobby!
