"You flatter me, Combat Instructor," Kei Yakuchi said modestly.
"Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
The Combat Instructor patted Kei Yakuchi 's shoulder, encouraging him.
Target practice scores were one of the important assessments for final graduation. If Kei Yakuchi performed well in other areas too, he would have a good chance of graduating as the top-ranked student.
He would also pay close attention to this student in the future. Having a top student would certainly be very beneficial for him, allowing him to meet performance requirements and earn bonuses.
"He must have gotten lucky, right? I only scored 6 rings, and I was even using a rifle. I heard pistol target practice is harder than with a rifle."
"I'm a bit better than you, I hit 7 rings. That person's 9 rings really are a bit exaggerated, and I remember he's just a new student who arrived today, isn't he?"
"I also suspect he just got lucky. If he wasn't guessing, then he's too amazing."
"…"
Many students were skeptical of Kei Yakuchi 's target practice score.
After all, this kind of thing could be a fluke.
The Combat Instructor naturally wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo didn't get involved. They were already a bit unsociable.
Normally, the two sisters were inseparable, even during classes.
They were practically sharing one gun.
They also chose pistols, but their dominant hands were different. Anjiu Heina held the gun with her left hand, while Anjiu Nairo held it with her right hand.
The sisters even had similar target practice scores, both hitting within the 8-ring range.
In the original work, Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo were already excellent Ghoul Investigator trainees, so this performance was reasonable.
"Nashiro, it seems we're not the best in the class anymore," Anjiu Heina said at this moment.
"Hmm… but he might not be stronger than us in other aspects," Anjiu Nairo responded expressionlessly.
Originally, Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo were the top-performing students in this class until a newcomer named Kei Yakuchi suddenly appeared, surpassing their target practice scores, which made them feel concerned.
At this moment, Kei Yakuchi was preparing for his second shot.
He was certainly not satisfied with 9 rings and hoped to hit the 10-ring mark.
Kei Yakuchi held the pistol with his right hand, single-handedly, turned sideways, kept his arm straight, and held his breath to minimize body sway. With his strength, he didn't need to worry about recoil.
As a result, the second shot was still close to 10 rings but not quite, and it wasn't until the third shot that he hit within the 10-ring range.
One 10-ring shot and two 9-ring shots—this score was undoubtedly very impressive.
Many of the other students around were interested in Kei Yakuchi 's target practice results, and they specifically paid attention.
"Three consecutive shots within 9 rings, and even one 10-ring shot. There's no way all of that was just luck, right?"
"Yes, he really has skill. I didn't expect this newcomer who just arrived today to be a shooting genius."
"I hope he didn't hear what I just said, otherwise it'll be awkward…"
"…"
All the doubts in everyone's minds were shattered by Kei Yakuchi 's three shots.
Only Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo didn't seem convinced. They also took two shots, seemingly wanting to surpass Kei Yakuchi 's score.
However, not only did they not surpass him, their performance was even worse than their first shot.
Anjiu Heina's second and third shots were 8 rings and 6 rings respectively, while Anjiu Nairo's two shots were both 7 rings.
As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Kei Yakuchi had a golden finger, like he was cheating, and the Anjiu sisters' impatience only made their chances worse.
Although their excellent performance was immediately praised by the Combat Instructor, they couldn't feel happy at all.
[Ding! Host activated mission, initiating God-tier Choice!]
[Option One: Pretend to know nothing, and don't get involved with Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo. Reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
[Option Two: Show a gentle side, teach them target practice techniques hand-in-hand. It's fine if it doesn't work. Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
[Option Three: Walk up to them and mock them, 'If you're bad, practice more.' Reward: 50 Fusion Points!]
Looking at the three options displayed before him, Kei Yakuchi was momentarily silent.
Don't ask, just say the system gave too much.
Kei Yakuchi then walked towards Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo. Under the two sisters' puzzled gazes, he calmly said, "If you're bad, practice more."
If you're bad, practice more.
[Ding! Host completed Option Three, received reward: 50 Fusion Points!]
Upon hearing the system notification that he had received Fusion Points, Kei Yakuchi turned and returned to his original position.
Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo, upon hearing these words, were stunned for a moment. It took them a while to understand what the other person meant.
Then, anger simultaneously appeared on their pretty faces.
"What did you say?"
But as soon as they spoke, they realized the other person had already turned back.
However, the two sisters' angry expressions were still very cute, with Anjiu Nairo's cheeks even turning slightly red from anger.
"That bad guy is only a bit better than us at target practice, yet he's so arrogant," Anjiu Nairo said with displeasure in her tone.
"Nashiro, next time we can't lose to him again."
Anjiu Heina also became increasingly annoyed, her face icy as she resolved to go all out against Kei Yakuchi .
"Oh? Kei actually went and provoked the Anjiu sisters? Although his target practice score is indeed excellent, the Anjiu sisters are all-around geniuses in every aspect."
"It looks like Kurona and Nashiro are already going to clash with Kei The competition between geniuses is truly terrifying…"
"It's good for us too, at least we'll have a show to watch."
"…"
The matter between Kei Yakuchi and the Anjiu sisters immediately sparked various discussions among the students.
After all, on one side was a dazzling newcomer, and on the other were the top-performing genius twin sisters.
Kei Yakuchi naturally noticed that Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo were quite angered by him. He thought to himself that he should find an opportunity to apologize to the two sisters after class.
Next, Kei Yakuchi was not limited to pistols. He also tried out rifles, sniper rifles, and other firearms.
However, these firearms were like "toys" to him. The main event was the "Quinque," but they would only get to experience the "Quinque" in the next practical class.
Approaching noon, Kei Yakuchi simply ate in the cafeteria here.
The total number of students from both institutions was not large, so the cafeteria was not very big. Since everyone ate here, it became quite crowded during meal times.
Kei Yakuchi arrived relatively quickly and secured an empty seat.
Soon, the cafeteria was almost completely full. Those who arrived late could only share a table with other students.
At this moment, Anjiu Heina and Anjiu Nairo also happened to be unable to find a seat.
When they saw that there were only two or more empty seats here, but the person sitting there was that annoying guy, they had no choice but to suppress their displeasure, frown slightly, and sit opposite Kei Yakuchi .
