Basic course (2)

BANG!

A loud shot could be heard throughout the training room. Velo is shooting a target that is 200 meters away. The bullet drops a bit at this range. The old world rifle is still a projectile base shooting weapon, but this bullet drop is about 3 cm down.

Velo is using the burst mode of the gun. Shooting three bullets in one press. The stability of this gun, plus the guiding line that the A.I. creates, makes Velo's accuracy skyrocket. hitting the bullseye 80% of the shot.

"It's lunchtime."

"ugg"

Velo breaks out of his focus. He has a headache again because he focuses too much. He didn't know that he had this condition. He has to concentrate on too many things in a day at the slum.

His mood got better when he received another nutrient pack. He quickly gulps it down. While he was eating, Velo got curious about something.

"Why do you help me?"

"It is just a down payment. You will have to do something for us in the future."

Velo worries as he got rope into something bad last time they promise free chocolate.

"What do I have to...."

"You don't need to worry about it for now. You have to be able to kill a "ruin tracker" in your sleep to achieve our request"

"....."

Velo doesn't pursue this topic further. The A.I. has a plan, but it doesn't matter to him right now. He got free food and free training as a down payment. Velo continues his training.

/////////

A mouth pass since Velo has been training. He learns how to shoot a moving target accurately at 500 meters. The highest accuracy he manages to obtain is around 7 out of ten shots. The target moves around a lot. It moves in free space with changing speed.

This feat is impressive by this era's standard, but you have to remember that Velo only does training all day, eats, and sleeps. With his godly focus, he doesn't easily get bored, but the downside to this is he got too focused.

He can't break it himself either and the A.I. doesn't seem to know how to solve it. It suggests a lot of methods but nothing works.

On this day he would learn how to do basic CQC. the A.I. explains that the CQC he is about to learn only works against a human. It's mostly about disarming someone and countering opponent aggression.

"Move your hand... ALERT!!ALERT!!ALERT!!ALERT!!! code red. All personnel must take their station warning..."

"What's going on!?"

Velo panicked because of the A.I.'s sudden behavior. The room is also flashing red and the warning sound echo thought the entire facility.

"A group of ruin trackers broke in."

"What!?"

Velo is shaking. He still can't forget the moment he got eaten by the ruin tracker. A blue screen pop up that shows a flood of ruin tracker pushing its way into the facility. The sheer amount of ruin tacker renders the defense system useless.

"We have to restart."

"You don't have any real guns?"

"They have requested that we transferred all the weapons to the ringworld. Because of their higher authority, we can't refuse that request"

"Wait, isn't that sensitive information?"

"Because of your...."

"How do I restart this simulation thing again!?"

"just say...."

Bang!

The training room door broke, and a group of ruin trackers came rushing at Velo. He instantly evades it. A building forms around him, making it look like he disappears.

"What..."

"Quick! say 'system start' before it notices that this isn't real!!"

After the A.I. finishes saying that one ruined tracker peak its head through the wall of the simulated building.

"SYSTEM RESTART!!"

////////////

Velo panicked shouts before a ruin tracker can swallow him whole. He woke up in a healing pod. He receives some pain but nothing like the first two times. It's much more manageable.

"ahh haha..."

He gasps rapidly from the pain as he pushed himself out of the healing pod. a familiar voice greets him.

"Welcome back look like you didn't die this time."

"Do you still keep your memories? Didn't I come back to the past?"

"It's a deadly simulation. They needed confirmation when the subject was not in a good condition. This project would be a monumental failure if we don't have this measure."

"Why don't you just do it yourself?"

"... This project needs a biological subject. You can't ask for more information."

"tch. Whatever. So what do I need to do now?"

"We recommend you to finish the training before leaving the facility"

"I'll do that then"

Velo, start the training again where he left off with the CQC. The CQC training creates a human dummy for him to practice with. It would throw a simple punch for him to counter and with enough focus, can be easy to read. The A.I. says that this combat art originates from aikido. It develops through the generation and becomes the Aikido defense.

Every old world official needs to learn this technique to fight in an emergency. Next, he learns how to disarm his opponent. The situation that A.I. often put him in an ambush-type situation. Where he gets the element of surprise on his opponent.

The A.I. often presents a type of situation that Velo can easily set it up by himself. And at his level, trying to disarm a gun pointing directly at him is basically suicide.

"Say, why don't you create a gun for me to defend the facility?"

Velo, while eating his nutrients pack, asks out of curiosity.

"The Chronus simulation has a 99.99% accuracy. Even we can't control it outcome of tempered with it and we can't create a gun with only air molecules either. You don't have the equipment or knowledge to do that. The best possible move for you is to quit out."

"huh? then you don't even know the future right?"

"..... you don't have....."

"OK ok I understand"

Velo continues his training.
