8 Chapter 8 - First Training Session. (2/2)
”Yes Sir”
”I see that you have prior experience with weapons training, Can you explain what exactly you were trained in?”
”Well, sir. I know how to use all of the guns in the normal police force. Plus I knew how to use them perfectly.”
”Let's See, shall we?”
”Arthur! Give Officer Victoria a Heckler & Koch Mark 23 Pistol.”
”Yes Sir” Arthur says while taking the gun off of his waste and tossing it to Seras with clear disrespect.
”Thank you, Arthur.” Seras says with the same creepy smile she used on John.
”Uh? You're Welcome?” He says with nervousness.
”OK! now I want you to shoot at that target!” the captain says while pointing to his right.
After he says it though, all of the soldiers look to their right and can't see any target anywhere.
As the soldiers are whispering to each other in confusion, Seras begins to speak.
”Are you talking about the one underneath that tree?”
”Yes!”
”That seems easy, I mean it's pretty close by, Right?”
After she says so all of the soldiers start talking down to her.
”What do you mean pretty close, We can't even see it” Says one of the soldiers.
”What? Seriously? you can't see it?” Seras says with clear confusion.
”well duh! its about 1000 feet away. Your gun can't even shoot that far without the bullet dipping.”
As soon as the soldier says that the captain hits him across the face.
”Stop showing so much undiscipline, just shut up and watch!”
”Sorry, Sir!”
”OK, Officer Victoria, I want you to shoot the whole magazine into the target. I do not want Any misses. Is this understood?”
”Yes Sir!” Seras says while getting into the typical stance while some of the soldiers get out binoculars in order to see how she fails.
When she fires the first shot, Seras feels like she is doing something wrong, But does not know what. She sees that the bullet went down before it even hit the target.
'Hmmm, what could it be?'
After a couple seconds of thought she figures it out.
'I see! this stance is used so that the recoil doesn't affect the shooter's shot. Since I am a vampire I don't need to worry about something like that, so the bullet went lower than I thought.'
After she figures it out Seras gets out of her stance and then uses 1 hand to hold the pistol before shooting again. This time she got closer, hitting the bottom part of the paper.
'Anything else I am missing, it still feels wrong somehow.'
After a couple minutes, everyone is complaining that she gave up. The captain sees something stir in her that makes him think otherwise.
'She must be trying to figure out what she is doing wrong, It's most likely nothing having to do with actual technique.'
'Ah! That's right, If I aim like a human, I'm going to miss like a human! Thank you Master!' Seras thinks in delight hoping her master can hear her telepathic message.
After another few seconds, when Arthur is about to yell for his gun back. He stops midway when Seras opens her eyes and he sees that they are bloody red, almost like looking into the deepest pits of hell. She shoots the rest of the bullets into the target and all 10 of them hit the head and heart, 5 in each area.
””””WHOA!””” All the soldiers yell and Seras' eyes go back to normal.
”Did I do well, Captain?” Seras asks with confidence.
”Well? You missed two shots and you still think you did well? I'm disappointed! You're dismissed for today, Officer Victoria!” The captain says before leaving.
As he is leaving, the soldiers agree with the captain and start taunting Seras.
”Yeah, she thinks she is the shit when she missed.”
”I know right. What a complete idiot.”
”The farce is over, she is not cut out to be one of us.”
As they're whispering, all of the soldiers leave as well. Meanwhile Seras is just standing there gritting her teeth. As she is about to yell, Arthur comes up to her with an awkward expression.
”What do 'you' want?”
”Uh.....just wanted to say that was very good shooting and um.....I'm sorry.” Arthur says while bowing.
”Sorry?” Seras asks with a head tilt.
”I realized that I was being a complete asshole when I gave you the gun and after asking around I found out what really happened between you and john. I just wanted to say sorry, even though it won'treally make up for it.” Arthur says with a deep sigh.
”Hahahaha, its fine. You had the guts to apologize for something that you did. That's something not a lot of people can do. I accept your apology, Arthur.” Seras says while looking directly into his eyes with a gentle smile.
”Really?” He asks with hope.
”Really! Now I would be grateful if you can tell me where the range is. I have some pent up aggression I need to take out on something.” Seras says gently before the creepy smile comes out..
”Uh....OK. It's about 200 feet north, then you take a left and you should see a square building. That is the shooting range, all of the ammunition and weapons are free to use. So don't worry about anything and shoot to your hearts content. Goodbye, Officer Victoria.” He says.
”Thanks and goodbye Arthur!” She says while walking away.
'Why was I so angry? I knew they weren't going to accept me after what happened to that maggot of a human, but still, this feeling sucks.'
As she is thinking this, she arrives at the gun range and opens the door to an empty room.
”I guess that it being empty is a good thing, for now.” Seras sighs while walking forward the equipment and putting the goggles and earmuffs on before heading to the gun rack.
'What weapon should I choose? The Walther PPK? Ooh! How about the AK-47?'
As she is thinking this she sees the Heckler & Koch Mark 23 pistol laying there and her eyes show anger again.
”Damn it! So it's frustration in showing a mediocre performance, that's what I've been feeling.
After she thinks that she picks up that pistol and starts firing it madly at the targets at the max range of 100 Meters. After a few hours, all of the soldiers walk in to find Seras surrounded by thousands of casings on the ground.
As she hears the door open she sees that all of them are giving her a dirty look and so she leaves without even cleaning anything up while giving them an angry look back.
”Hey! Are you not even going to clean your mess up?” One of the soldiers yell at her. To which Seras just sticks up her middle finger and leaves.
”What a bitch!” Another for the soldiers says.
”Yep, that's all she amounts to. Look she didn't even hit the target despite all of the rounds here.”
”Shut up and look again you idiots!” Arthur yells at them while pointing at the target.
As he says that they all look again and see that the sillouhette on the target looks weird. One of them pushes the button and brings it closer. As it is all of the soldiers become wide eyed and have a look of fear on their faces.
As the target comes to the front, they see that the sillouhette is cut out by bullet holes. The holes are perfectly right next to each other and the sillouhette is hanging by its last piece which is the very top of the head.
As they're in wonder, Arthur yells again.
”Look over here you morons! That's not the only one!”
As they look over they see tens of sillouhette just laying in a pile like the one they examined, except their sillouhette are completely cut out.
