Turning to Valeria, "what's up Valeria? You're staring at my sister. Do you need anything from her?"
Shaking her head Valeria then turns to Anastasia, "nice shots..."
Before turning to look at johan again, "and um... Call me.... Val..."
"Ah. Sure, val it is." Nodding before turning to check if professor Iosifin is still with the first group, which she is.
"Alright we still have a bit of time till professor Iosifin comes here to score us. So since im the leader... im gonna go first, not like im that confident with my shooting anyway but its still just the first shooting activity so I can still redeem myself incase i do mess up, and so can franke."
"So after me will be franke then greta will go next, that fine with you greta?"
Shrugging, she then points to sawa, "only if sawa comes after me~"
"What? Ugh yeah thats fine, it dosen't really matter what order we do it in anyways." sawa shrugs aswell as she leans on a table while playing with a dummy shell.
"Alright, and after sawa will be Val-eria... sorry I val seems too casually close for me at the moment." As I turn to look at Valeria who nods.
"And lastly will be Anastasia. Anything else?" Looking at the girls who either shrug or do nothing. "Alright i guess we just wait for now."
Greta shrugging, "well I guess we can try to teach franke some more while we wait."
A few minutes later...
"Alright team 6! Line up and load up!" As iosifin looks down on the papers she has and finding the paper that had the groups names.
"Mockingbird huh? Not that original but it works. Alright who's up first? And don't so tense, this is just a way for me to find how everyone fares and how I need to teach you lot."
Stepping forward as johan, "alright, Im up first miss Iosifin."
Giving a slight nod and watching the boy load up the rockets on his gear and then head towards the firing range. "Alright, shoot when ready."
Taking a deep breath then exhaling, I lift my arm up and level it flat infront of my torso as I adjust the rocket rack firing angle before firing a single rocket for a ranging shots at the 500 meter target and hitting the outer rings.
Seeing the rocket land where I was generally aiming but slightly off, I adjust my aim and fire another rocket at the same target which hits closer to the middle bit still far from a bullseye.
Since that i still have 3 more shots I decide to go for the 700 meter target, and doing the same thing. I fire out another ranging shots which flies over the target and just about nicks it. But a miss is a miss.
Adjusting my aim once more this time taking into account that miss and aiming slightly lower, I shoot out the last two rockets in the rail rack which both hit the target but again hitting nowhere close to the center.
Exhaling since I have done better than last time. I turn around and see Iosifin nodding. "Good shots. I can see that you are a meticulous shooter. But not really suited for your gear but good shots nonetheless. Alright who is next?"
As she then turns to the girls in the group, And spotting greta pushing a slightly hesitant franke forward. "Guess you're next girl. Head on up and don't worry i don't bite. Well physically that his... cough cough. I mean don't worry like I said earlier what your scores noe will just be a way for me to figure out how to teach each one of you."
she pats Franke's shoulder, before leading her to the firing range.
Franke, looking back at us and seeing greta giving a thumbs up and Valeria nodding. She gives a resigned sigh and starts aiming down the range.
After everyone has gotten their turns and shot down the range, with me and Valeria tallying everyone's scores again.
The current scores now look like this.
1st. Anastasia 80 points
2nd. Valeria 75 points
3rd. Johan 65
4th. Greta 58 points
4th. Sawa 52 points
5th. Franke 28 points
Noticing johan and Valeria keeping tab of their team's scores Iosifin nods in acknowledgement, "keeping tab of your scores? Good initiative and exactly what the scores you all got."
Before looking over and seeing a score sheet presumably from the test shots before and seeing quite a disparity.
"Oh? That's quite a score difference from surat from what im seeing. Do I presume you all helped her? If so great teamwork already. Helps me out in the long run seeing how she did just now."
Before she turns around and walks away. "Since you guy's are done, go join the rest of your classmates waiting for the others to finish."
"See? Told you you'd do better! Just gotta practice more franke!" Greta poking franke before pointing at sawa.
"Atleast you scored more than the test shots, compared to sawa you dedinetly did better hehe~"
Scoffing, "hmph! Atleast im consistent! And unlike you who missed two shots and isnt limited by your cannons range i atleast hit all my shots!"
Valeria and Anastasia looking at each other with a "this is going to be a normal thing, isn't it?" Look they both sigh. As johan leads the group back to the other students waiting on the field and chatting about.
Back on the field with the other students, turning around and interrupting the bickering, "alright thats enough for now you two, the last group seems to be almost finished so quiet down."
Shrugging greta turns to look at johan before standing by greta, "fine fine, oh and you still havent told me everything about you johan so you better be ready to tell me about your and your sister when we are free!"
