unnecessarily spilled blood

chapter nine (Practice makes perfect)

- John PoV -

I followed today's schedule and by all accounts I was supposed to have the day off, I smiled to myself that I would rest today, everyone went to do their things right away, Olya even went to the medical floor to take care of her bandages, so as soon as we were alone in the room , we decided it was appropriate to take some time for ourselves, I turned on the TV and sat on the couch, at the moment there was some news on the TV but I switched it right away, even though there are a lot of channels, none of them interested me because most of them had rolls of fur, but in the end I found the only channel where they still played human movies, but the picture was bad and overall it looked like no one put much effort into it, but it was still nice to watch something of my own once in a while, I got comfortable and prepared to enjoy my free time

??? : *EHHM*

suddenly I heard someone behind me, I looked up only to see Jasslin standing there in full uniform, she had an impatient expression and it seems she was very upset about something

John : What? I am free today

Jasslin : your day off just ended, put on your uniform and be at the range within 7 minutes

with that she left without me having a chance to ask anything, I got dressed in my uniform and went to the shooting range according to the map, but I didn't understand why I should be there at all, they won't give me a gun and they doubt that the neighborhood will be excited if I have a gun under my belt, but on the other hand, I haven't smelled the sweet smell of gunpowder for a long time, we arrived at the shooting range which was hidden behind a big glass door, we put the watch to the card reader and the door opened, I went inside and saw a vast shooting range, there were only a few people, some were firing short weapons, some were using sniper rifles, we reached the ammo counter where we were waiting for Jasslin, I looked around but I didn't see her anywhere, we looked around for a while before someone placed a heavy box on the counter where I was leaning

*SLAM*

I jumped back in shock only to see Jasslin standing behind the counter picking up ammo boxes

Jasslin : what are you looking at? take it and follow me

wordlessly we picked up a heavy box and Jasslin placed a few boxes of ammo on top of me, then she took a bunch of stuff herself before she went outside and went to one of the free shooting spots, once we were in the booth she spread the boxes around and and took the boxes from me

John : what is this supposed to be?

Jaslin wordlessly loaded the gun and placed it in my hand

Jasslin : what do you think? I doubt they gave you proper training in that hole of yours

I caressed the pistol she gave me, it looked like a classic Glock but the barrel was extended and when we aimed at the target, the sight lit up and the sight appeared which helped me calculate the route and range

Jasslin : weapons have improved a lot since your retreat, if you are going to get a weapon I want you to have the best training

I placed the gun on the table before turning to Jasslin

John : why are you suddenly interested in training me personally?

Jasslin grabbed my collar before pushing me back to the table

Jasslin : I DON'T WANT ANY ACCIDENTS HERE NOW AIM AND SHOOT
