This time, it wasn’t a bullseye, but she still hit the 8-point mark. Excited, Hera jumped up and down, her enthusiasm contagious. Zhane, generous with his praise, smiled warmly, genuinely impressed. "That’s a great result for a beginner," he remarked, his approval making her glow with pride.
"Good job! Just remember the feeling and your stance, and you’ll get the hang of it," Zhane said, patting her shoulder reassuringly. He let her fire a few more rounds, and just as he promised, once she gotfortable with the rhythm and sensation, she began hitting bullseyes and scoring 9- 10 points consistently.
The minimal recoil of the gun made it easier for her to maintain her aim once she found her rhythm. As a reward for being such a diligent student, Zhane offered to let her try out the guns she was interested in.
She got to handle the .22 Magnum, the striking .357 Magnum, the sleek Walther Magnum, the unassuming yet impressive Desert Eagle, and even had the chance to fire a round from a revolver, just to experience how it felt.
Consumed by the adrenaline rush, Hera reveled in the thrill of shooting. Despite her hand growing numb from the constant recoil, the exhration kept her hooked. Noticing her enthusiasm, Zhane decided to introduce her to assault rifles, adding another exciting dimension to her experience.
Hera started with the FAMAS, then moved on to the M16A4, MP5K, FN P90, and tried nearly every assault rifle in the arsenal. Eventually, she progressed to the sniper rifle. Zhane guided her to the side and helped her get into a prone position on the ground.
Before she began, he retrieved a sheet from a nearby cab,id it out for her, and then assumed a prone position beside her. While she settled in, he provided a thorough tutorial on how to use the sniper rifle.
Unlike pistols, rifles have different recoil and power, so Zhane wanted to ensure Hera didn’t get injured due to improper posture. He became quite stern as he carefully guided her through the correct techniques.
Despite his seriousness, Hera was so absorbed in the experience and enjoying herself immensely that she barely noticed his strict demeanor, her face lighting up with a constant smile.
Particrly when Zhane handed her the sleek and cool L115A3 sniper rifle, she was pleased to find it light and manageable. Her first shot was surprisingly gentle on her shoulder, contrary to her expectations. Encouraged by this, Zhane let her fire a few more rounds before she moved on to the powerful AW50 sniper rifle.
Unbeknownst to Hera, Zhane was the happiest of them all. Sharing his passion and hobby with the woman he like brought him immense joy. Watching her so engaged and enthusiastic, eagerly absorbing his exnations on each weapon, and seeing her face light up with admiration as she looked at him as the ’expert’ stirred a deep sense of satisfaction in him.
Seeing her lying prone on the ground beside him, fully immersed in the experience, was incredibly appealing to him.
Zhane’s mind was spinning in circles, his attraction to Hera intensifying with every moment. Watching her so fully engaged, not only participating but genuinely enjoying what he loved, deepened his connection with her.
Unlike other women who might haveined about the difort of lying on the ground, Hera embraced it, and her willingness to share in his interests made him feel even closer to her.
Once Hera had familiarized herself with the guns, Zhane suggested a friendlypetition to see who could score the highest. The loser would treat the other to lunch, a meal they had forgotten about as they got caught up in the excitement. With the day already past lunchtime, it was the perfect opportunity for a bit of yful rivalry.
Zhane took it easy on Hera, aware that she was still a beginner. Nevertheless, she impressed him with her performance, scoring one 8, three 9s, and six 10s out of ten shots on the target. To ensure fairness, Zhane had called in the instructors beforehand to act as judges for their friendlypetition.
Zhane scored five 9s and five 10s. With his steady hand and sharp eyesight, honed by his medical background, he could have easily achieved a perfect score. His precision and skill, essential qualities for a doctor, also made him an excellent sniper.
Seeing Zhane’s score, Hera excitedly chatted away as she peered through the binocrs at the target, her smile wide and beaming. She wasn’t disheartened by his easy victory or the fact that he had held back; she was simply thrilled by the experience.
"Did you enjoy your time at the shooting range?" Zhane asked, approaching her with a grin.
Hera nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with excitement. "You have no idea how much I enjoyed this! I’ve only ever used guns in Call of Duty before, since my grandpa doesn’t approve. But now..." She let out a slyugh, her delight evident.
Even though her grandfather disapproved, she was thrilled to have been able to experience it, especially since she was a guest of Zhane and felt it was only polite to ept the invitation.
