The sun was scorching, and the scorching heat waves on the white sand made the light slightly distorted.
"Watch it."
The strange hero Zolo wore a cowboy hat and stood 500 meters away. He used his remaining left hand to hold the lowest-level Force firearm and aimed at the targets.
King Da Mao was on the sidelines, observing carefully, trying to learn some skills and knowledge from this top gunner.
Distance, azimuth, light source, wind direction, windage...
Many elements flashed through Zorro's mind, but were immediately forgotten.
The man who stands at the top of the Gunners has long been able to ignore these influencing factors.
Bang bang... bang!
Holding the gun casually, Zoro fired ten shots in ten seconds.
Amidst the roar of Force firearms, white air waves surged, bullets swept past, and ten targets 500 meters away were shattered from the red heart, and pieces of debris flew everywhere!
Accurate, fast, smooth movements, and the power of the bullets has increased, even breaking the specially made target.
Originally, the lowest-level Force firearms were driven by built-in energy, and their power was fixed and could not crush targets.
"It's amazing. Is this the strength of the instructor?" A student at another shooting range not far away said in surprise.
"As expected of a fourth-level [air-locked gunner], it's really amazing!"
This top-notch skill also made King Da Mao's eyes widen.
At such a long distance, just aiming at the target takes a lot of time.
What's more, Zoro is shooting continuously, and the interval between each shot is less than two seconds!
The time was so short that it would be difficult for an average gunner to aim and adjust the shooting angle every time. Zoro was able to hit the target 100% of the time, which was a bit against the common sense of shooting.
"Instructor, how did you do it?"
The girl looked puzzled, not finding any special mystery just now.
"Adding mental power to the bullet... not only can the bullet's lethality be enhanced, but where the gaze goes, the mind will lock on the target... There is no need to deliberately aim, and in the end, you can just shoot based on perception!"
The strange hero Zoro did not show off, threw the "ordinary grade" force firearm in his hand to the girl, and started to explain.
"Attach mental power to bullets? This should be the advanced professional skill of [Gun Fighter], but I am not a gunner. Can I learn this?"
Artoria took the Force firearm and asked in confusion.
She is a Paladin, and no matter how good Zoro's shooting skills are, it is of no use if she can't learn it.
"Normally it's impossible, but..."
Zoro took out his Force Crystal tumbler lighter, lit a cigar, and looked at her with bright eyes:
"I feel that you have a special potential... Well, in other words, your mental power is very strong and active, and it is faintly fluctuating.
I will tell you the trick now. You can try to guide your mental power and condense it into the bullet. "
Although he did not create this technique, he has improved it a lot, enough for the paladin girl in front of him to learn it for a lifetime.
'The mental power is active, different from ordinary people? '
Could it be... A flash of light flashed in Arturia's heart.
"Attach part of your mental power to the bullet, keep your eyes on the target, and concentrate on it...
In the end, there is a faint resonance between the two parts of your mental power, and you can overcome the limitation of distance and shoot according to your perception..."
Zoro stared at the girl who was thoughtful and hesitant to speak. Without exploring, he began to explain the specific steps.
When they first met, he felt that her spiritual power was very powerful and active, like a torch burning inside her body, even spilling over to her body surface...
Half an hour later.
Artoria was holding the lowest-level Force firearm, her blond hair dancing in the hot wind, and her green eyes staring at the special metal targets 500 meters away.
A ray of dreamlike hazy white light was injected into the unreleased bullet in his hand.
The girl stared intently, her mind locked on the center of the target.
At this time, the "light of the soul" in her body began to fluctuate. In the lightning and flint, the two spiritual powers faintly connected into a line. She decisively pulled the trigger!
boom!
The armor-piercing bullet streaked through the air with a heart-stopping death light, piercing the bullseye in an instant!
The sound wave surged and roared, the bullet passed through, and the entire specially-made target exploded into hundreds of fragments. The fragments glowed coldly in the sun and scattered in all directions!
The power of this blow even exceeded Zoro's shot just now.
'What is this Force (psionic power)? '
Zoro's cheeks twitched slightly and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Bang bang bang!
It's really possible... There was a hint of excitement in Daimao Wang's beautiful eyes. She followed the same pattern and almost didn't deliberately aim. She just locked her eyes and thoughts and fired four shots in a row.
Every time a shot was fired, 500 meters away, a metal target exploded from the center under the armor-piercing bullet attached with "Light of the Soul"!
"Oh my god, am I not dazzled? Is Kate on drugs?" A student said in shock.
"Why do you take drugs? Can you speak? This is the difference between a genius and a loser!"
Misha, the roommate of the stupid king, snorted coldly with her hands on her hips.
"This is too shocking. The gap between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and pigs."
The Daimao King ignored these comments, as if she wanted to test her limits, she looked up into the air.
Thousands of meters above the ground, a small black spot was vaguely visible.
With a startling look in her green eyes, the girl raised her gun.
boom!
The armor-piercing bullet condensed with a few rays of "light of the soul" was like a small meteor. Amid the roar of the firearm, it drew a shocking shining white line in the air!
The target in the air seemed to be frightened, and it wanted to flap its wings and turn to avoid it.
'Deflect, deflect 5 degrees to the right! '
The girl shouted in her heart.
Her emerald eyes glowed with a dreamlike light, and the bullets in the air seemed to have eyes, suddenly turning a strange arc that went against common sense.
puff!
A stream of blood flew out, and a black shadow fell from the sky!
"this……"
Looking at the little bit of blood in the sky, Zoro's pupils shrank slightly.
His mouth opened slightly, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
Damn it, how is this possible? !
The visual estimate is that the height is about 1,500 meters, and it is a high-speed moving target, and there are ballistic adjustments in the middle...
He can't do it without using several advanced professional skills!
As for the students, they were completely dumbfounded and speechless.
yeah!
Arturia was so excited that she waved her fist. Sure enough, what she felt in her heart was right.
She can remotely control bullets to a certain extent, which can be regarded as discovering a use of "light of the soul", which makes her very happy.
Plop!
Dust and sand rose, and heavy objects fell to the ground not far away.
This is a strange beast eagle, its wings are stained with blood, its black feathers glow with metallic cold light like jet black iron pieces, and the bronze claws under its feet are sharp and ferocious.
The black-feathered iron eagle is generally a second-level alien beast, but at this time, its original majestic appearance has moved its head.
Not only did it hit, it was a headshot!
This result made Zorro's face twitch.
"Instructor Zoro, how did I learn?" The girl held a gun and walked up to Zoro with a look of vicissitudes of life.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Emiya Kiritsugu a little bit.
When he was in the Moon World, Kiritsugu was particularly keen on sniping and headshots.
During a combat meeting in the castle, Ren said that headshots are a man's romance. Kiritsugu actually laughed, and the two of them chatted enthusiastically about topics she didn't quite understand...
Now, she also understands - it turns out that gunshots to the head are so good!
"You did a good job, no no, you don't have to call me instructor anymore."
Zoro was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, glanced at the dead black-feathered iron eagle, and then looked at the happy girl in front of him. He sighed quietly:
"Kate, you will never take shooting lessons again."
After saying that, the unshaven Zoro relit a cigarette and turned to leave.
I'm so fucking stupid, I knew she was Ren Ackerman's cousin, but I still talked to her... Zoro was deeply shocked.
The enemies he couldn't defeat as a hero back then were tricked to death by the tycoon Rennes. Now, the shooting skills he had studied hard for half a lifetime were mastered by his cousin in half an hour, and it seemed that he could use them better than him!
What a shame!
He decided to stay away from the perverts like the Ackerman family in the future.
Instructor Zoro slowly walked away. In the eyes of the students, his back looked a little lonely for some reason.
? ? ?
The girl blinked her green eyes, a little confused.
Little did she know that she had struck an old gunman's heart.
However, she also understood that the shooting skills she learned today were useful and even powerful.
It was so powerful that even the system that Ren described as cold and retarded even gave hints!

King Da Mao: “…………”
After just a few days of learning shooting in the Baisha Military Camp, spearmanship turned out to be her strongest technical ability, more powerful than swordsmanship and spearmanship (cold weapons).
She even had a vague hunch that as long as she practiced shooting for a while, the spear master (cold weapon) could be promoted to the top level!
This is the culmination of a certain skill in a conventional sense!
'I seem to have clicked on the wrong skill. '
After being speechless for a moment, Artoria felt excited again.
A high-level master's specialization ability is by no means trivial.
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Ren's "Sword Master" was only at an advanced stage.
Although swordsmanship is her favorite ability, this ability also marks a solid step for her - she is gradually beginning to surpass herself!
This was an ability that she had never had before as the King of Knights and as a heroic spirit...
She will get stronger and stronger until one day she will completely surpass her past self, cut off all constraints, and rewrite history!
[Blessed No. 1 has opened the dungeon mission in advance. Do you want to participate? 】
As if aware of the change of mind of the favored one, this prompt sound appeared again at the right time.
'yes! '
This time, the girl didn't hesitate at all and said firmly in her heart.
Renn said that he would not interfere with her choice, and he was not afraid of the variables and increased difficulty of the dungeon mission, as long as she did not regret it.
Almost at the same time, a sudden change occurred.
"Hope No. 460" located in the girl's body, and "Gardener No. 404" located in Ren's body, ripples appeared on the clock pattern that exuded a mysterious glow at the same time.
Renn's desire for power and curiosity to experience a higher level of swordsmanship...
Artoria's desire for power, her determination to surpass herself and her destiny...
These desires and beliefs of the two people were sensed by the system, and a series of messages appeared on the two illusory and mysterious clock patterns at the same time.

[Dungeon mission, Sword Breakthrough, has been generated! 】
[First stage mission location, moon world (multidimensional)]
[The Fifth Holy Grail War (Blessed Person No. 1), the Sixth Singularity—Holy Round Table Realm Camelot (Blessed Person No. 2), the favored ones can be linked together. 】
[Second stage mission location, One Piece (a single world)]
[The pirate camp (Blessed Person No. 1), the navy camp (Blessed Person No. 2), and the favored ones are in the same time and space. 】
[It has been detected that Favored Person No. 1 and Favored Person No. 2 have concluded an alliance contract, and the evidence of the contract is "Fake Avalon"... Therefore, in the second stage, the confrontation mission between the Favored Persons will not be released. 】
[The time left to open the copy task: 90 days. 】
──
This information has already been revealed.
But just like Renn's last "weapon mission" in the moon world, it has actually been generated long ago. As long as it is not close to opening, the system will not notify the favored ones in advance.
Therefore, neither Ren nor Artoria knew anything about it, so there was no way they could make any preparations in advance.
"Hey, where did the eagle come from?"
After the shocked Zoro left, the bearded bishop came over.
He stretched out his thick, calloused palms, picked up the headless black-feathered iron eagle on the ground, and grinned at King Da Mao:
"Kate, is it something good done by that guy Zolo?"
"Instructor Trumpo, I did it."
After a slight hesitation, the girl chose to tell the truth.
"Really, he's almost forty years old, and he still likes to show off his shooting skills in front of young people... What?! Did you shoot him down?"
The bearded instructor suddenly widened his eyes and stared at her with suspicion.
Unless it is hunting for prey, this kind of eagle usually flies rapidly at an altitude of more than a thousand meters. The intelligence of the alien beast is not low, and it is impossible to choose to hunt in the military camp...
"Master, Kate shot him down with a gun." A student said immediately, and several other classmates also echoed.
The bearded bishop's expression suddenly became very exciting.
He looked up and down at King Daimao, as if he were looking at some precious animal.
"Instructor...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Thinking that she might have made a mistake, the girl lowered her head slightly.
"No, no, I don't mean to punish you. This doesn't violate military regulations... Just so you can get extra food tonight!"
The bearded instructor waved his hand, then looked at the blond girl in front of him with a smile, his eyes a little fiery:
"Kate, would you like to join the 7th round?"
? ? ?
King Daimao was confused: "Well, I..."
"Don't refuse in a hurry. The salary and everything else are easy to discuss. The benefits of the 7th game are very good. Not only is the salary high..."
He has to find a way to keep this kind of top special talent, right?
Such a genius sharpshooter, as long as he is paired with a top-notch sniper rifle, can be called a life reaper on the battlefield.
Maybe one day, she will become the sniper king of Faloran...
