Efforts.

Hugo's eyes widened, what! Captain Wayne was asking him to come to the weapons store with him? He's not in his right senses if he says no to this offer. He had already started nodding his head before he uttered,

"Yes, yes, I'll love to follow you to the weapons store, I'll love to see it again".

"Let's go then".

The both of them began sauntering as they passed different people on the compound. They got to the building where the weapons store was located and began mounting the staircase. They got to the door of the weapons store, and Captain Wayne brought out its key from his pocket and unlocked the door...and the both of them stepped foot into it.

Entering, Hugo began glancing around, as usual, he loved what he was seeing. The different types of guns were well arranged, and so as the weapons, the swords, the combat knives, and so on. Though Hugo had entered here before, he was still wowed by what he was seeing. Captain Wayne strolled to where the pistols were as Hugo followed him from behind.

He took two pistols and took some bullets too, then he said to, Hugo,

"Let's go".

The both of them strolled out of the compartment, then Captain Wayne locked the door. Every teacher teaching A class students how to make use of guns had already taken the guns and bullets they needed, they needed to meet Captain Wayne to do so. The both of them evacuated the building as they were walking on the compound already.

Sauntering along the compound, Hugo confirmed that he and Vera were on the same level now, she had a pistol in her hand, and her female teacher was teaching her how to make use of it. Sounds of gunshots were echoing around the compound, not only from Vera's, but from other A class students also.

He and Captain Wayne sauntered until they got to their normal spot, the wood with red spots on them were still intact. Without wasting time, Captain Wayne brought out one of the guns and handed it to Hugo, it was loaded with bullets already. Hugo sighed, the gun training was about to begin once again.

He's got to learn how to make use of a pistol, but there was a time limit, to earn the Exp, he's got to learn how to make use of it within two days...today and tomorrow.

"Should I go first? Or you go first?". Captain Wayne inquired of Hugo.

"Go first, I've got to watch you and learn some things". Hugo said.

"Ok then".

Captain Wayne held the pistol well in his right-hand pointing it to one of the wood. Hugo watched as he held the gun, how he aimed, and so on. Then,

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He shot thrice not missing any of the red spots he aimed for, the bullets penetrated the red spots successfully. Wow! he's done it again, that's what was on Hugo's mind.

"It's your turn". Captain Wayne said to Hugo.

Hugo sighed once again, held the pistol well in his hands, yeah, he used both of his hands to hold the gun. He glanced at the right-hand wood, glanced at the spot he wanted to fire, and shoot, bullet came out of the gun. Once again, the bullet penetrated the wood, but it wasn't close to penetrating the red spot.

Hugo used his right palm to scatter his hair and said, "Not again?".

"You don't have to pressure yourself, though I said the failed attempts have to stop, you don't have to over-pressure yourself". Captain Wayne said to Hugo while holding his shoulder with his right hand.

"You don't understand". Hugo uttered.

"Understand what?". Captain Wayne inquired.

'Holy shit! why did I say that'. That was the thought that entered Hugo's mind after Captain Wayne asked that question, he can never know about the system.

"Oh! It's nothing, I just want to learn how to make use of a pistol fast". Hugo uttered.

"Don't overpressure yourself".

Hugo held the pistol well pointing it to one of the wood once again. Captain Wayne could see the look on Hugo's face, that look of determination, he really wants to learn how to make use of a pistol fast. The look on Hugo's face made him remember what he did in the past, something he didn't reveal to Hugo and his friends when he was supposed to.

He had a reason for doing that, but seems like he might reveal it to Hugo soon. Hugo had aimed well already, but he was taking his time to pull the trigger. His finger got closer to the trigger, and the moment he pulled the trigger, bullet came out of the gun heading straight to the right-hand wood.

Things were different this time, the bullet didn't penetrate the red spot he aimed for, but it was close to penetrating it...now, that's a sign. Captain Wayne placed his palm on Hugo's shoulder and said,

"You see that? Now, that's improvement on its own. Keep going, and one of your bullets would finally penetrate one of the red spots".

A little smile appeared on Hugo's face, he might be able to achieve the quest after all. He raised his pistol once again aiming for one of the red spots on the left-hand wood. He sighed, if the bullet hits the red spot he aimed for, men, he'll be really happy. But the bullet penetrating the red spot doesn't mean he's learned how to use a pistol already, it's just a sign.

He had aimed well already, that determined expression had appeared on his face, and,

'BANG!'

Bullet came out of the pistol heading straight to the left-hand wood. But it was still the same case, the bullet penetrated the wood, and it was close to penetrating the red spot he aimed for, but the thing was, it didn't penetrate it. Without wasting time, Hugo raised his gun once again, pulled the trigger, bullet came out of the gun, but it was still the same case...like seriously?

And that's how it kept on going, Hugo kept on shooting, but none of the bullets penetrated the red spots, they were just close calls...and Hugo wasn't satisfied with that. Tired of shooting, Hugo stopped, then he said to Captain Wayne,

"Yesterday, my bullets were penetrating the wood, but very far from penetrating the red spots. Today, my bullets are penetrating the wood, and very close to penetrating the red spots, but the fact is, they aren't penetrating them, and am not satisfied with that".

"But you've improved, within two days of your gun training, your bullets are already close to penetrating the red spots. The other students I've trained didn't show this much improvement under two days". Captain Wayne said.

Hugo glanced at him, and what was running through his mind was, 'There's a reason why I have to learn to make use of a pistol under two days'.

And with that, the shooting continued, Hugo kept on aiming and pulling the trigger, but it was still the same case. Captain Wayne tried his once again, he told Hugo to stop as he raised his gun. First fire, the bullet penetrated one of the red spots on the left-hand wood. Second fire, the bullet penetrated one of the red spots on the left-hand wood.

Third fire, the bullet penetrated one of the red spots on the right-hand wood. Fourth fire, the bullet penetrated one of the red spots on the right-hand wood, and Captain Wayne was done. Hugo opened his mouth as he glanced at Captain Wayne, it was so easy for him. If he had learned to make use of a pistol like this, he'll hear the system's notification telling him that he had completed his quest and had been rewarded.

By now, Hugo's bullets had been exhausted, and Captain Wayne had already handed another bullet to him. He took out the exhausted bullet and inserted the new bullet into the gun...the pistol had been loaded once again. As he raised his gun to start shooting, Captain Wayne said to him,

"Remember to continue doing the three things, aim, target, and fire".

"Yeah, I've been doing that". Hugo said.

The shooting continued, but it was still the same case, all close calls. Hugo was putting in his very best, but none of the red spots had been penetrated. Captain Wayne could see the look in Hugo's eyes, that determination, the efforts he was putting in.

But in other for him not to over-push himself, Captain Wayne held his shoulder and said,

"That's enough, rest for a bit".

"No, I want to continue". Hugo said.

"Hugo, rest for a bit, don't over-push yourself". Captain Wayne voiced out once again, this time, more audibly.

Hugo glanced at Captain Wayne, he'll have to do as he's been told...he'll have to rest for a bit.
