Effect.

Lying on his bed, Hugo couldn't stop his busy mind, he was thinking of something right now. It wasn't about the quest the system gave to him which he was already accomplishing, it was far from it. This was something regarding getting Monk Talon's scroll, it was thinking that entered his mind when he lay on his bed.

But as for now, he didn't take the thought seriously, he tried to shake it off his mind though it was still lingering. He didn't see their dead bodies or their zombie bodies, but he knew those F class students were dead, there was nothing anyone can tell him that would make him believe that they were alive.

And as known, his thought was regarding that scroll they didn't bring back and the journey to Monk Talon's house, but it was a thought he didn't take seriously. Remembering that he was getting close to learning how to make use of a pistol perfectly, a smile appeared on his face. He was gonna display all he's learned to Captain Wayne tomorrow.

And he was gonna earn the Exp as he's already gotten the notification from the system that he was close to learning how to make use of a pistol completely. Tomorrow was the last day, if he doesn't perfect how to make use of a pistol, then quest failed.

*******

The next day, after Hugo had gotten up from the bed, students walked to him one after the other telling him how his gunshot sounds were echoing around the compound yesterday...like, was it much of a big deal? Yesterday night after he had finished practicing and entered the compartment to sleep, some students walked toward him and made those same comments.

Comments like, 'Men, that gunshots of yours were loud'. 'It's been a long time since this kind of thing happened, a student practicing gun shooting in the night, you aren't the only one that wants to learn how to make use of a gun?'. Some students' comments were very simple, 'Wow! man, you such a great shooter'.

One even made comment similar to the first one's own, but his was short, 'You aren't the only one that wants to learn how to make use of a gun'. All these were comments from A class students in the same compartment with him. But their comments didn't affect him at all, they didn't disturb him at all.

They weren't even part of his thinking when he was lying on the bed before he dozed off. And now that he had woken this morning, some students want to repeat the same thing? They were already telling him how they felt about his gun practice yesterday, and he wasn't keeping his mouth shut, he was replying to them.

Yesterday, while they were making those comments, he kept mute uttering not even a single word...but he wouldn't let that repeat itself today. One had already walked up to him where he was sitting on his bed and said,

"Man, that shooting of yours was somehow executed at the wrong time. I've been in this academy for some time now, and it's been a long time since a student practiced gun shooting in the night. I'm also learning how to make use of a gun, AK-47 for that matter, but you wouldn't see me practicing in the night?".

Yeah, Hugo knew this, he knew this guy was learning how to make use of an AK-47, he's seen him in the compound several times with an AK-47 in his hands with his teacher training him how to use it. He doesn't plan on keeping mute to this guy's comment, so he said,

"It isn't prohibited in this academy to practice gun shooting in the night, so you can choose to practice in the night if you want for faster improvement, no one is stopping you. As for me, I chose to practice in the night 'cause I really want to learn to make use of a pistol as fast as possible, so".

The guy just shook his head a little and sauntered away. After some minutes, Hugo stood up from his bed, and the next person that was walking towards him to comment was a female, like seriously? Wait, wait, did they plan this? What does she want to say to him now?

Well, he wasn't that surprised, two females made comments about his gun practice yesterday night, so. She reached where he was standing, and before she could speak, Hugo spoke.

"So, what do you want to say to me?".

"Umm..you shouldn't practice gun shooting in the night". She said.

"Why?". Hugo inquired once again.

"That's 'cause of the gunshot sounds, they are a little disturbing. And who knows, they could attract zombies into this academy".

Hugo almost laughed, but he held it in before speaking,

"This academy is barricaded and gated, so what are you saying? Don't worry, zombies wouldn't be able to gain access into this academy 'cause of the gunshot sounds. And as for the gunshot sounds being a little disturbing, there'll be no night gun practice anymore, yesterday was my last day, so".

And with that, Hugo sauntered away from her presence.

*******

After replying to the girl's comment, no one came up to Hugo again to tell him how disturbing his gun practice was yesterday night. He didn't even plan on replying to any of their comments anymore. So in other for any student not to walk up to him again stating their minds, he walked out of the compartment after replying to the girl's comment.

Right now, he and Captain Wayne were carrying the wood to their normal spot for training. As they strolled, Captain Wayne uttered to, Hugo,

"So you sure that your gun practice would have its effect today?".

"You'll find out once the gun shooting begins".

Captain Wayne asked that question like Hugo had told him something regarding his gun practice yesterday night, but he told him nothing. And Captain Wayne didn't like that Hugo was telling him the same thing he told him yesterday when he asked this same question.

"Why must you tell me this? Can't you give me a proper answer?". Captain Wayne uttered.

"I am giving you a proper answer". That's all Hugo said.

The both of them strolled until they reached the proper place for their training, then they dropped the wood. Captain Wayne handed Hugo's pistol over to him, the pistol Hugo returned to him after he was done with the gun practice. Captain Wayne didn't had the strength to walk to the weapons store to drop it, so he kept it with him.

"I'll be back, let me go get my munition. Don't fire a single shot, wait till am back". Captain Wayne uttered as he walked away.

Hugo glanced at the red spots on the wood, he remembered the strategy he used in penetrating those red spots. It still involved aiming, targeting, and firing, but something else was involved, he implemented something else. Maybe everyone had what they implemented apart from the normal aiming and so on to learn how to make use of a pistol perfectly.

He waited for some minutes more before he sighted Captain Wayne walking towards him. The time was near, the time for him to prove that his practice yesterday wasn't for nothing. He didn't tell Captain Wayne anything, but he's still got things to prove to him. And apart from that, he's got to earn his Exp.

Captain Wayne reached where he was standing and uttered to him,

"I'm back with my pistol, the gun shooting can start now. That gun of yours is loaded with bullets, so prove to me now that that practice of yours would have its effect, it wouldn't go to waste".

Hugo sighed, raised his gun, strategize, aimed, targeted, and fired. With speed of sound, the bullet headed straight to the right-hand wood and penetrated one of the red spots on it, the one Hugo aimed for. At that moment, a smirk appeared on Hugo's face, he did it. Captain Wayne held Hugo on his left shoulder and said,

"You did it, boy, seems like that night practice is gonna have its effect".

Hugo nodded his head, he needed to penetrate that red spot once again to fully prove that his practice yesterday wasn't to waste. He raised his gun once again, repeated the same things, and right now, his finger was getting close to the trigger. He pulled the trigger, and another bullet came out of the gun once again heading to the right-hand wood...he aimed for that same red spot.

Would the bullet penetrate the red spot once again? Would he fully prove that his practice yesterday wasn't to waste?
