Chapter 114: Impossible! Absolutely Impossible! (Please Bookmark!)

After chatting for a full ten minutes or so, Su Yunjin finally saw Guan Tongyue and Zhang Chuchu leisurely walking out of the dormitory.

Shortly after they emerged, Zhang Xiaoxia and Zheng E also came running out in a rush.

Seeing Guan Tongyue, Su Yunjin mouthed, "Why so late?"

Guan Tongyue scrunched up her face and whispered back, "Makeup."

Su Yunjin covered her face in dismay.

It was true that everyone loved beauty, but this wasn't regular school military training; it was a military camp variety show. Naturally, everything had to follow military regulations. Wearing makeup was hardly encouraged in a military camp at the best of times, let alone when the assembly bugle had already sounded.

"Why are you so late? What is wrong with you all? Did you not hear the bugle? Look at the other squads—see how they've assembled! Why are you the only special ones who can't get in line?"

Sure enough, the moment Su Yunjin covered her face, Fu Lin began to lecture them sharply.

Guan Tongyue, Zhang Chuchu, and Zheng E hung their heads under the scolding, but Zhang Xiaoxia looked thoroughly indignant. She muttered something under her breath, though it wasn't quite audible.

"And look at your uniforms and posture! Why are they in such a mess? Zhang Xiaoxia, I'm talking to you!"

Fu Lin directed his gaze and words straight at Zhang Xiaoxia.

At this, Zhang Xiaoxia immediately protested, "I'm not the only untidy one. Su Yunjin is messy, too."

She dragged Su Yunjin right into it.

At that moment, Su Yunjin was indeed not perfectly presentable. Having dashed out the second she heard the bugle, it was only natural that many things were out of place. Although she had spent ten minutes chatting, she had only been able to tug at her uniform and straighten it slightly. Without a mirror, she couldn't tell what was amiss.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxia's accusation, Su Yunjin immediately looked down to check her appearance.

But before she could spot anything, Fu Lin snapped in anger, "What? I can't call you out just because you aren't the absolute worst? If you're the second to last, am I forbidden to criticize you? Do you have to be dead last to warrant correction?"

These sharp questions left Zhang Xiaoxia red-faced and embarrassed.

As the camera panned to Su Yunjin, Fu Lin pointed directly at her and said, "Su Yunjin's uniform may not be up to standard. But she came out over ten minutes before the rest of you and has been standing here waiting! On that basis alone, you don't even compare to her!"

These words sounded harsh, almost as if he were deliberately drawing hostility toward Su Yunjin.

Anyone else might have felt it was an unprovoked disaster, but when it came to Zhang Xiaoxia, Su Yunjin didn't mind. Back when they were collecting their uniforms, Zhang Xiaoxia had already started targeting her. Seeing her get scolded now only brought Su Yunjin quiet satisfaction.

As for drawing hostility, was that even necessary? This guy, just like Zhang Chuchu, had long regarded her as a thorn in his side.

Sure enough, the moment Fu Lin finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxia shot a venomous glare in her direction.

Su Yunjin turned a blind eye, maintaining her rigid, upright posture.

Then, Fu Lin spoke up, "This is your first warning. Next time, all of you will be punished! Do you hear me?"

Fu Lin's commanding presence instantly intimidated everyone. The group chorused their assent, and with that, their first day of training began.

Since it was the first day, the training progressed from easy to difficult, starting with a run. The two males, Zhang Xiaoxia and Zheng E, ran in front, while the three females, Su Yunjin, Guan Tongyue, and Zhang Chuchu, ran behind.

After running for about half an hour, they finally completed their task. As celebrities, their physical fitness was generally much better than that of average people. Having completed the five-kilometer run, they didn't feel overly exhausted; after catching their breath for a moment, they recovered quickly.

By the afternoon, the difficulty of their training increased. Fu Lin led them to the training ground and began teaching them shooting and how to handle mortars.

"Are we shooting on the very first day?"

"This is so cool."

"Wow, I thought we'd have to wait a while for this."

Seeing Fu Lin hand out rifles to everyone and have them aim at targets with empty magazines, many of the staff members on set grew envious. Anyone who had undergone standard military training knew that handling a gun on day one was practically unheard of. By all accounts, this should have been saved for later in the schedule.

Yet here they were, not only holding rifles but also getting ten shots each. Granted, the ammunition was blank. Even so, it was enough to make onlookers green with envy.

"Will the recoil be really strong?"

"Oh dear, I don't think I can do this."

"Is this like real-life Counter-Strike?"

Upon receiving their rifles, Guan Tongyue and the others were thrilled. While Su Yunjin felt a touch of excitement as well, she was focused more on how to quickly master firearm shooting.

Back in her sect, she had practiced archery. She could even hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces. However, bows and arrows were cold weapons, while guns were firearms; there was a vast difference between the two.

As she studied the rifle in her hands, Fu Lin suddenly barked the order, "Get down, prepare to fire!"

Su Yunjin and the others immediately dropped to the ground, adopting their shooting stances. This wasn't a posture they knew naturally; Fu Lin had taught them before handing out the weapons. Still, they were made to hold this position for a grueling half-hour.

"First round of shooting, begin!"

At Fu Lin's command, the group fired simultaneously. Amidst the series of bangs, their respective targets lit up.

Guan Tongyue: Miss.
Zhang Chuchu: Miss.
Zhang Xiaoxia: Miss.
Su Yunjin: Six rings.
Zheng E: Miss.

The results were displayed.

Instantly, the field fell dead silent.

A score of six was by no means outstanding; in military training, it was barely a passing grade. But this was their very first time handling a gun! A six! This... this was absolutely miraculous!

Moreover, the target was extremely far away. Through the scope, it looked no larger than the palm of a hand, which meant the actual target was incredibly small.

Zhang Chuchu was dumbfounded. Zhang Xiaoxia was dumbfounded. Guan Tongyue was dumbfounded. Zheng E was dumbfounded as well.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew incredibly bizarre, with everyone's eyes locked onto Su Yunjin. Even Fu Lin looked at her with a trace of disbelief.

"Yunjin, have you practiced this before?" The outspoken Guan Tongyue was the first to speak, her voice still heavy with breath.

Su Yunjin smiled wryly and shook her head. "No."

"You haven't, yet you shot that well?" Guan Tongyue really couldn't wrap her head around it.

They were actors, and the diversity of roles was a perk of their profession. For past roles, they had actually practiced shooting before. Yet even with that foundation, under live-fire conditions, none of them could shoot with any certainty. And indeed, the reality was that they had all missed.

But Su Yunjin, who had never practiced, could perform this well?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
