Chapter 107
Ivan immediately retorted, “I’m not discriminating against women. I just…“.
He continued after a pause, “You can say whatever. I’m not discriminating against women anyway. You’re just making a big deal out of it!”
He just thought that women were more prone to trouble during missions.
In such life–and–death situations, the slightest problem could put comrades in danger.
Moreover, Cassandra, who was before him, seemed particularly young and weak to him.
He was certain she would only ruin the battle.
He mused, ‘If this woman is captured, should we save her or not? She’ll only slow down the mission! That’s why women should not be on the battlefield!‘
“There’s no need to explain that much. You can decide the rules of the match.”
Cassandra didn’t listen to his explanation.
The reason was that the explanation was useless and rather unconvincing. He still could. not hide his disrespect for women.
His words were high–sounding, but only he knew what he truly thought.
Ivan struggled to speak. His words were stuck in his throat, making him feel aggrieved.
‘Damn it!” he cursed inwardly.
“We will each fire ten shots at the moving targets. Whoever has the higher score wins. In the event that we have the same score, the winner will be decided by speed.”
He didn’t want to add that last sentence.
The reason was that there were few who were on par with him, even in Falcon Special Operations Force.
‘She’s just a woman. Heh. There’s no way!‘ he thought.
“Let’s start, then.”
From assembling a gun to firing, not only did they have to ensure the accuracy of their

shots, but they also had to manage their speed.
There was indeed a significant advantage for Ivan!
68%,
Kenneth only knew that Cassandra was good at shooting, but he didn’t know how good she was at assembling.
This time, Kayden was the host..
He would announce the start of the match.
“Three! Two! One! Start!”
Cassandra and Ivan began to assemble quickly and skillfully.
The two finished almost simultaneously, but Cassandra began shooting first.
After a few shots, Cassandra put down the gun she was holding, and Kayden hurriedly pressed the timer.
In terms of time. Cassandra won, but Ivan still looked disdainful. “Being fast ist pointless. What matters most is accuracy.”
He thought that Cassandra had probably shot carelessly with her eyes closed, and he was skeptical that she could hit a single bullseye with ten rounds.
There was no point in being cocky right then.
Kenneth said in a deep voice, “Read the targets.”
Kayden sent his second in command to read the targets, and the two targets were moved in front of them.
The second in command looked at the result on the target and shouted, “Ivan! 9.8!”
“Ivan’s performance remained consistent. I wonder if Ms. Yates has messed up!”
“Only Deputy Commander Yates and Commander Zelinski can beat this score.”
“Wow! Impressive!”
“Ms. Yates seems confident. Let’s look at the results.”
“Ms. Yates!” The second in command was stunned for a moment and said a bit incredulously, “10.9?”

It was an astounding score.
“What! Did I hear it right?”
“My goodness–10.9? That’s impossible!”
“That’s amazing. I’ve only seen Commander Zelinski get a score of 10.9 before. Even Deputy Commander Yates came up short.”
“Ms. Yates actually got 10.9! Ivan’s in trouble, then!”
“Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! How could she possibly get 10.9?” Ivan didn’t believe it.
To be precise, his ego could not allow that to happen.
He was crushed twice by a woman; he might as well die!
“If you don’t believe it, go check the targets yourself, whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter.” Kayden despised that kind of person most. He couldn’t handle defeat and was also prideful.
He thought. There’s a whole world out there. There will always be people better than you. I can’t believe he doesn’t understand that. That’s pathetic!”
Ivan didn’t give up and walked to the targets. After seeing the true results, his face. turned pale.
He lost?
Even though shooting at moving targets was his strongest suit, he had lost.
Moreover, he had lost to a woman!
Furiously, he walked to Cassandra and asked, “Who the hell are you?”
He didn’t believe that she was an ordinary woman.
How could an ordinary woman possibly be better than him?
Thunder stepped forward, shielding Cassandra behind him.
“Ivan, that’s enough! You targeted Emery as soon as we arrived. Now that you have lost, you can’t admit it, can you? Is that why you have the audacity to question Emery? There will always be people who are better than you. Are you not aware of that?”

Thunder continued, “It was your commanding officer who approached our director to request us for this mission. Emery is our team leader. Disregarding the fact that you’ve been targeting her all day, you lost two rounds in a best–of–three match. What more do you want?”
If he brought trouble for their Emery again, they would quit.
Nobody could put up with that kind of treatment.
Ignoring the fact that he had discriminated against women, he had even interrogated Emery.
It was ridiculous!
“That’s right. You chose the challenges yourself. If you don’t admit it now, don’t blame us for making things difficult!”
“Ivan, don’t push it!”
Ivan’s face was sullen. Indeed, he didn’t want to admit it and wanted to compete again. He even wanted to make it a best of five!

He was determined not to lose.
He refused to accept his loss.

anger.
‘If I knock her down, then everything will be fine!‘ he thought.
In an instant, Ivan struck at Cassandra but missed. That punch landed on Thunder’s face.
“Mmph…”
“Thunder!”
Cassandra dodged Ivan’s blow and suddenly started to attack proactively, only to be stopped by Kenneth.

Her expression changed.
‘He’s protecting him?‘ she thought.
However, she realized a second later that she had misunderstood.
Kenneth turned around and attacked Ivan, kicking him to the ground with at roundhouse kick on his fourth move.
“Cole Ingram!”
