Chapter 115 - Tragedy (1/2)

All the anger bubbling inside Diana dissipated as she listened to Aroma. She hasn't thought about all that for a while now.

She recalled how she got warned about this from the beginning and let out a deep sigh.

”Get yourself stronger instead of whining. Do you understand?” Aroma asked after explaining few things to her.

Diana nodded her head in understanding. ”I'm not taking the day off anymore.” She said. Looking up at Aroma, ”I want to do something.” She added.

Aroma felt like it's better, at least she will get to escape her thinking, but she isn't in the mood for teaching her fighting now as she isn't clear headed; which might lead to her hurting Diana unknowingly.

With that in mind, she asked her to follow her. They were already at the door when Diana squinted her eyes, ”hum.. you're going out in that?” she asked, as Aroma still had her pajamas on.

'F*ck!” Aroma cursed in her mind and excused herself to change into another outfit.

They headed towards the shooting practice Hall, where Aroma made her understand that there's an instructor who will put her through the necessary process. How to dismantle and operate rifles, as well as how to create explosive devices and the material that could be used, based on the situation she found herself in.

But it's the only thing she could come up with that wouldn't require them having much issues and also for Diana to still take her break from too much stress.

They both entered the same booth, where the man in charge of the section delivered pistols and sets of bullet to them.

She passed her an ear cover and began guiding her through the process.  Diana couldn't believe she's holding a gun, a real gun.

She felt excited. She has totally forgotten those people that angered her. Looking at Aroma who didn't cover her; she was about to take it off as well, when Aroma shout at her. She could already tell what was gonna come out of Diana's mouth next.

She surely wanted to do it without covering too. Diana did as told and listen carefully, as Aroma moved behind her and help her position her hands in the right place, using an unloaded gun as practice, which Diana kept pulling the trigger unknowingly.

Not rushing her; she carefully repeated the process over and over again, ”hold it firmly.”

”No! no! move your thumb away from there.”

”Don't pull the trigger yet.”

”F*ck! No!”

Aroma is nearly losing her mind after a while, as Diana kept overdoing or stubbornly holding the gun like she watched the artist do on television.

Aroma kept blowing out steam and shaking her head. This personality of hers will only help her after she's strong, but for now, it will only get her in trouble.

To Diana; it seem easy, but the way Aroma kept taking it slow with her is boring her, as she couldn't wait to pick up the loaded ones and shoot for real.

Aroma took a deep breath, took off Diana's ear cover, pass her a loaded pistol and pointed toward the target opposite them at a far distance; ”give it a go!” she said and step aside.

Without realising what Aroma had in mind, Diana excitedly aimed at the target, her eyes glowing as she stares at the wooden target carved in a human shape, while Aroma had a smirk on her face, waiting to enjoy a show.

Diana had not even prepared to shoot, but based on how she didn't heed to Aroma's instruction on how she should keep her finger off the trigger; she mistakenly fired unprepared.

Bang! Diana drop the gun immediately, reaching her hands to cover her ears that kept ringing and making her head hurt, her heartbeat racing fast as she was so shocked and nearly had a mini heart attack.

She couldn't control her body that kept shaking and sat on the floor; raising her knees to her chest level and shut her eyes, while she still kept her hand covering her ears.

”Get up!” Aroma growled.
