\”Don't worry, I will be giving you points for training with me. How does that sound?\” Ash assured her. \”We will start from evaluating your strengths so I know what I need to focus on.\”
\”Won't I trouble big sis too much? You are the big boss after all,\” Scarlet asked with troubled expression, looking down cutely but Ash hugged her and countered, \”No, I'm actually free. I'm mostly coordinating everything.\”
Scarlet looked at Wuxing for the last time just to confirm and seeing his nod, she gave in and agreed, \”In that case, I will follow big sis.\”

When thirty minutes passed, everyone was already prepared, standing in front of their activities. Slots were of course limited so not everyone got the change to pick what they wanted. Naturally, that didn't apply to Wuxing and Dongmei.
Although some people were mad that they were kicked from the queue, Wuxing didn't care and entered the shooting range, not bothered to look at the two glaring people. Being top ten gave them priority everywhere.
The shooting range turned out to be built in-doors, having much more advanced technology than what Wuxing expected. Each participant had their own room for themselves which looked like the training rooms he remembered from Headquarters.
Almost everything was automized, together with the weapons.
Although they felt like the real deal, instead of shooting bullets, the weapons shot a laser. Targets appeared on the metal board in the distance and he had to shoot them down. If he missed, the target would disappear, replaced with another one.
\”I guess I can't blame them for opting for this version. It would be really hard to ship so many bullets just for the sake of this selection,\” Wuxing shrugged, not really mad at that. \”Too bad I can only get two thousand points from this. I won't be able to play for fun.\”
He hoped there would be a fun mode which would allow him to play for fun but there was none. It's purpose was obviously to stop people from blocking the stations from other participants.
As a warm up, he chose the maximum of one hundred targets on the panel and picked a pistol, being more comfortable with it. His balance lowered by one hundred points but he was confident he could get them back.
\”Round start!\”
The system announced with a robotic voice and a red target appeared in the middle of the board.
Bang!
He instinctively aimed and shot the laser bullet, hitting right in the middle of it. A quiet beep informed him about successful hit and a new target appeared right after. He didn't shoot as fast as he could, aiming properly and shot the targets one by one without thinking.
He used to do that to relax back in the days, considering it a game. His muscle memory was still in him, moving his arms on their own.
\”Round end.\”
Before he knew, all hundred targets were hit with no more appearing and his stats displayed on the screen.

Seeing the records, Wuxing couldn't help but smile.
\”I guess it's the standard record set by management. I think they underestimate me,\” Wuxing commented, already knowing very well how this game worked.
Each second beyond one minute mark lowered your score multiplier and each second below increased it. Each target missed lowered your score as well so the accuracy was needed for the high score.
'Let's set up the bar high, but not that high so I can still come back tomorrow to beat my record,' Wuxing thought as he started another round, ready to unleash his power.
