163 General Clark (2/2)

The man Katherine called her instructor was already old, looking as if he nearing sixty years old yet he was still in great shape and form, walking with his back straight and smile non-existent, cold like ice. Despite all grey hair and a few wrinkles, one could tell he was really handsome back in his prime days.

”Instructor.” Katherine bowed her head as she greeted the old man and he returned it with a nod, showing a slight smile when he saw her.

”Katherine, my favorite student. What a coincidence we meet here.” He said as he halted in front of them, his two guards standing behind him before glancing at the other four.

”Greetings Instructor,” Wuxing and Dongmei bowed with Scarlet copying them later. General Clark could ignore it but he nodded, knowing they were with Katherine.

”New recruits?” He guessed, not bothered who were there. He didn't recognize who Dongmei was either as she was mostly hidden away from the media.

”Yes, I scouted all three of them and brought them here,” Katherine took the risk to take that on herself and General Clark didn't ask further, turning to Anna instead. ”You must be Anna, right? Major Anna. I think someone else was your instructor but I remember you were an amazing sniper.”

”Yes, General. I was moved to sniper division after my skills were discovered,” Anna happily confirmed, not humble at all.

”Hah, alright. Let's get inside, I will lead you through the registration process so you don't need to wait,” General Clark smirked before returning to his usual cold self as he lead the way for them.

The registration went smoothly as the General promised, the workers giving him a favor and let them in after filing a quick electronic form.

It wasn't a surprise they got a few jealous glances from other Majors and officers who brought their recruits as well, recommending them to join. It was a common practice as those recommended received much better treatment and more attention.

Getting past the registration, they needed to pass the half an hour physical training which was hard even for people who were fit and trained everyday but thanks to General Clark and Katherine's influence, they could skip this one too.

There was no way Scarlet would pass the test so they opted against it. Because of that, they were left with the last test which required the recruit to showcase his skills with a weapon of his choice.

They arrived at the shooting range which resembled an underground military base and wore protective headsets, already seeing a few recruits shooting to the targets.

”Okay, pick your weapon and go to the corresponding instructor to test your skills. I will wait for the results to process them quicker for you guys,” General Clark offered generously as he pointed at the tables filled with guns and various-sized knifes.

”Thank you Instructor,” Katherine acknowledged the favor he was giving her and turned to Scarlet who she knew would be the only problem.

Scarlet's eyes widened when she saw so many weapons, realizing it was over for her. She didn't know how to shot with guns and the biggest knife she ever held was for cooking.

Katherine pointed at both Wuxing and Dongmei, assuring her, ”Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. Leave it to those two.”

Once they create a good impression, it would be easy to recruit her without any prior training. This was Katherine's method to get Scarlet inside.

Wuxing was already by the weapon table accompanied by the Dongmei and glided his fingers against all the weapons.

”Let's get the party started, hehe.”
