I stepped into the training facility that morning with a renewed determination burning inside me.
My days of basic self-defense were long past; today marked the beginning of something far more advanced. Marion had arranged for me to train in marksmanship, surveillance, and infiltration.
Disciplines I knew were essential if I were to become a true force against my enemies. The facility itself was a modern, high-tech complex filled with targets, simulation rooms, and surveillance equipment.
I could feel the intensity in the air, and as I took my position, a thrill of anticipation mixed with nerves surged through me.
My instructor for the day was a seasoned marksman named Kai, same name with my personal trainer.
He had a calm, measured tone that commanded respect.
"Selena, today you'll be handling three types of firearms: a semi-automatic pistol, a compact submachine gun, and a sniper rifle," he explained.
