My body is still in agonic from the fight, my guess is that Akane did more damage to my body than I previously thought she did. Come on Fujiwara, you need to get up and move. I have no time to waist laying down on the floor, I need to get up! But my body refuse to listen. Forget it, laying on the floor isn't that bad it will give me time to reflect and understand what happen during the fight. I never thought that Akane would be so strong, with the strength she possess, I better think twice before I make her angry.

During the whole duration of the fight, I got my ass handed to me by her. She effortlessly beat me without even trying. The experience gap between us is just to big, I mean in one hand you have Akane, a well trained exorcist that's been doing this for who knows how long and on the other hand, there's me. A inexperience guy with little to no combat experience. Sigh. I have a long road ahead of me if I want to reach Akane's level and possibly beyond that. 

"Your five minutes are up, time to get back to training and head to the shooting range for some target practise." Ms. Saruwatari declared, her voice loud enough to hear from every corner of the facility. 

Already! Five minutes, more like five seconds! "C-Can I get a little help here ... please." I don't want to stay on my back forever like a turtle stuck on its back side of his shell. 

Akane leans down offering a hand in response to my plea. " Need a little help Darling."

 I grab her hand, pulling myself off the floor. " Thanks Akane, you're a real lifesaver." 

"Anytime Darling." She smiled. 

We both head to the shooting range where I spot Akane mother next to a table full of different types of guns and ammunition. This is a first, I never seen a actual gun up close before. Video games doesn't count obviously because they're virtual firearms that only exist for the purpose of being in the game held by fictional and made up people.

"Are we going to war or something?" I asked.

"No smartass, you are going to learn how to shoot a gun." Ms. Saruwatari revealed. She grabs a pistol and puts it in my hands.

"This is a glock 19, a simple yet efficient handgun fit for a beginner like you. Now pay attention because I'm going to show you the proper way to hold it without you loosing your hand in the process." She takes another pistol laying on the table, she tightly grips the weapon with both of her hands and fired at the target dummies. 

Fifteen shot were fired at the multiple targets each bullet landed on different parts of the dummies body mostly around the chest area.

"Now it's your turn pretty boy, copy what I did and you are guaranteed to keep your hands intact." She steps backwards giving me enough space to shoot. 

I move forward with the gun tightly held in my hands, place them in the same position she demonstrated earlier and point the muzzle at the targets. I squeeze the trigger and fire.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! ... Click! ... Click!

I remove the empty magazine, swapping it for a fresh new one and continue my onslaught, hitting every single target in the same location as before. Ms. Saruwatari didn't stop me or said anything at all so I tried every single gun available to me on the table. Like the classic revolver and the many other different types of pistol that I don't recognize. I decide to end the practice and put the glock back where it belongs, not because I want to but simply because of the lack of ammunition on the table. 

"You surprise me yet again kid, you did better then I imagined." Ms. Saruwatari praised. 

"Thank you?" How low were your standards?
