Secret Police Agent

Shotguns

Team exercises are done morning and night. Actually it's exhausting. But also a form of habituation. At night, only darkness can be seen. The eyes must be sharp looking ahead. For the sake of right when shooting the enemy.

In the morning it is brightly lit by the sunlight. It was more like an accident in general. It's just that a lot of people pass by. Team members are expected to exchange messages as well as disguise themselves in the crowd.

...****************...

Claire arrived late in team training today. He ran quickly past and passed the people who were standing on the side of the road.

The place the K-2 team trained was on the top floor of the Central U company. Claire was 10 minutes late.

"Miss Claire, everything is waiting for you on the top floor" said an Office Boy who is also a member of a secret organization in a whisper.

"Yes, huft~, thank you" Claire rushed up the elevator.

Arriving at the top floor, an open room without a spacious roof welcomed his arrival. The water was blowing through Claire's white mane that was unraveling on her back.

"Miss Claire, welcome" said a member of the K-2 team.

"Where are Selby and Haran?" Claire went straight to the point. The first thing he will do must be looking for the whereabouts of his two close friends.

"Miss Selby is training with the rest of the team, she said to build close cooperation. Mr. Haran looks around at the gun to the north" he explained.

"Thank you" Claire passed immediately to meet her friends.

The open space was filled with people practicing shooting. The target can be anything. For example, like a wooden circle, the shooter must fire his gun precisely on the circle.

"Hey, Claire" Selby waved her hand. Stop practicing for a moment.

"Oh, hi, Selby. How's practice?"

"Hahaha~ is still not accurate. My shots missed so many times"

"Oh yeah?"

Claire saw the mounted wood as a perforated target. Selby's shot didn't hit his target. A dark circle made with a black marker is the target.

"I'll help. Take a good look" Claire took the other gun.

Claire manages to grab the attention of the entire K-2 team members who are training at the same place. Most of their shots are not perfectly accurate. You have to try many times to hit the target.

The door!!

One shot was fired. The bullet came out at an invisible high speed. Right in the dark circle, the wood was hollow.

Just one shot, Claire's bullet hit the target. That means the shot is accurate.

Everyone applauded without any cheers. Just a lot of applause.

"You're great, Miss Claire. Your shot hit the target" praised one team member.

Claire simply replied, "thank you" then passed leaving the crowd. Go to where Haran is. He was busy watching the gun.

"Haran, what are you doing?"

"You can see for yourself, right?"

"I mean, why are you watching those guns?"

"It's okay, it's just that I want to be adept at firing shots with a long-range pistol"

"Shotguns?"

"Yes, that's what I mean"

"I can teach you"

"Oh yeah?"

"certain"

"Are you willing to teach your male friend who can at any time drain your patience?"

"There is no reason to refuse. Let's start the exercise"

Claire gave it up first. Haran watched carefully. He did not want to lose the focus of comprehending fast movements.

Their target is in another building. There are F-8 team members training. But they still work together. One of them installed a wooden beam with a height of no more than one meter.

Claire had to squat down a little to slide the beam across there. And no vehicles were watching them. Like ignoring something that happened unnoticed.

"Haran, pay attention to this" Claire asked her friend to prepare to pay attention to the sequence of movements that must be done.

"If your target is the same height as you, you should align your height with it. But if you're at a height you're just standing straight" Haran nodded in understanding.

"Next, don't let the voices interfere with your focus. Focus on the target you want to shoot" Haran nodded again.

"After you feel the direction of the bullet shot is right, then release it like this"

Door...!!!

What was heard from the gunfire was like a small explosion. The weapon seemed designed to have no sound like a bomb exploding.

"understand?"

"Good"

"Your turn is trying"

Haran practiced the sequence of movements that Claire had exemplified. As he tried to focus towards the target, his hand seemed to tremble. It's hard to focus.

"I can't do it" Haran sat on the floor.

"Don't give up. You need to calm down. Cultivate tranquility in your day and mind"

Haran stood up again. Positioning body. His hands shook again. But he kept trying to focus.

Suddenly out of nowhere, the wind blew lightly against his mane. The wind brought forth astonishment in Haran's heart and mind. His hands no longer shook.

Haran fired a long-range shot. Almost missed the target. The bullet hit the other end of the block in the wood across there.

"Try again" said Claire who had noticed the wooden block earlier.

Haran nodded in understanding. He returned to his body. His focus is more awake now. Because the calmness in his heart and mind began to grow.

Haran tried many times. Little by little the bullet shot was in the middle. Claire asked the person across to keep the wooden blocks away.

From the building where the K-2 team is located, the wooden beam across the building now looks as small as an ant. It's even harder.

"Claire, I'm still not very good at it. What if my shot misses then hits a team member there?"

"try it. Don't hesitate"

Claire is convinced that Haran can do it. He tells Haran not to think about anything bad that might happen. I haven't tried it yet and don't know the outcome.

Haran's first shot was over 100 metres away. The bullet missed its intended target. Nearly one of the F-8 team members.

"I told you Claire, I can't do it"

"That's because you doubt your own abilities. Think that your bullet's gonna hit somebody"

"Psychologically, what affects a person is confidence. What you believe is what's going to happen, Haran"

"Then what should I do?"

"In addition to calmness, you must also have a strong belief. Self-confidence is also important"

"I'll try"

"Just remember one thing, Haran. A strong will cannot be destroyed even with the most powerful weapon. Sometimes that's what makes someone strong. You should have that"

"I understand"

"All right, we'll see you later tonight"

The sun is rising. The heat of the sun feels like it stings the skin. Morning exercises disbanded. Later that night they will continue.
