Someone special in Zootopia

57.- Disparate training and doubts

Nick, Judy and Vol had the special training, something that would leave them exhausted although, once they finished, they wouldn't have to work anymore for the rest of the day. Bogo didn't want to see a failure in an arrest attempt like the one that occurred with the hippopotamus again and he'd need all of his officers to give their all in. Some of the other police officers had already done their part of the training, some passed it and others would have to repeat it, since they hadn't reached the minimum required score. It was our three protagonists' turn today.

The tests seemed simple for trained mammals, after all, they had to do obstacle tests, shooting tests and the fatal fight against a large animal. All of this was carried out in the academy where they were in the past, since the facilities had what was necessary to complete said training again.

In the obstacle tests, the physique of the three prevailed and they achieved it without problems. Vol had recently trained, it had only been months after all. Nick, although it was a little more difficult for him, since he never focused on improving physically, achieved it with a good time. Surprisingly, what was most difficult for him were the bars. He slipped, but he was able to continue without falling. Judy, still remembering her previous training, did even better than in the past, improving her own record. Above all, she improved her speed, something even Friedkin didn't expect.

"This was easy." Nick said, looking smug and smiling.

"Says the guy who almost fell... I didn't know you were in such bad shape." The provocation came from Vol, he felt like joking.

"But I passed it, didn't I? I still keep my shape." He raised his right arm as if wanting to show muscle.

At such a sight, Judy let out a laugh. "How ridiculous you look, I can't help it." She almost fell over from laughing.

"Pfft, you don't know how to appreciate me, Carrots, you know I'm the perfect guy." He looked sideways again, showing his smile.

Judy rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, Mr. Perfection..."

The moment was just what they needed to continue doing the tests they had left to do, to relax and be ready for what was coming their way.

The next test was shooting accuracy, they'd have to get the highest possible score of a maximum of 100 points. When they did it to end up being police officers, the three of them got a good score, since then they continued training, although Vol did it less than his buddies.

They arrived at the shooting range and chose their guns, putting on their ear muffs to prevent excessive noise. The bell signaled the start of the test and the objectives appeared, of course, it was also a test with limited time as well as limited objectives. Whatever finished first, would end the test.

The shots followed one another, the sound of metal against the wall and shell casings falling to the ground with each detonation. Some shots were very accurate, they got used to the recoil of the weapon and knew how to handle it at this point.

As they finished, Judy approached Vol, who was coming out of his cubicle, taking off his earmuffs.

"How was it?" Judy asked.

The fox stroked the back of his neck. "It could have gone better, I have 78 points out of 100."

"It's not bad at all, if you haven't handled weapons, it's logical." The rabbit tried to encourage her companion.

"And how was it for you?"

Judy smiled proudly. "95 points out of 100." Such a statement left Vol with his mouth open and his eyes wide.

"W-Wait...really?" The rabbit nodded effusively. "Such aiming... Well, you showed it when we stopped Lewis, I shouldn't be surprised." She blushed at having the memory that she thought was lost. Then Nick arrived with his usual speed of step. "You finally finished. How much did you get?"
