“Wow, this sunscreen brand is expensive! I could never bring myself to buy it, but now I suddenly have two bottles. I’m finally making something out of myself, Mom!” 

“These mosquito repellents are so delicate, and this spray smells amazing” 

“Taragon University is so generous! I love my university!” 

“I heard from my friends in the other class that their instructor said it was a gift from one of our Taragon graduates.” 

“A gift from a graduate? I knew it! I’ve never heard of Taragon giving out sunscreen to students in previous 

years. 

“With so much sunscreen and mosquito repellent, how much does it cost? Which kind–hearted graduate prefers to remain anonymous? I’m ready to marry you!” 

“Why don’t we boys have any? Is it discrimination? Even a bottle of sunscreen would be fine. These past few days, I’ve been suffering from sunburns. 

Among all the activities during Taragon’s military training, shooting was undoubtedly the most anticipated. 

After enduring days of torment from the instructors, the students now eagerly anticipated the event. They finally showed some enthusiasm upon hearing that they would be shooting in the morning. 

At the shooting range, 

The boys were thrilled, eagerly lining up and rubbing their fists to try on the guns, 

“Bah! Only thirty points? I could close my eyes and still shoot more than thirty. I have never missed a shot at the night market’s balloon shop.” 

“That’s pretty impressive. Seventy points.” 

“I just heard someone got seventy–five points.” 

“It’s finally our turn!” 

Chase instructed, “Quiet down, boys! Line up and get ready in the back.” 

The instructor from the other class came over and said, “Chase, how about a little competition between our classes? Let’s see whose total score is higher.” 

Chase pointed out, “You have eight more kids in your class than we do.” 

His colleague said, “Then let’s just compare the highest score. The loser treats the winner to drinks next 

time on vacation.” 

Chase didn’t know what to 

say. 

His colleague stirred him up and said, “What are you worry about? Don’t you have a troublemaker in your class? Maybe there will be a big surprise later.”

Chapter 103 Shooting 

Chase glanced at Isabelle and said, “Even if she’s capable, she’s just an eighteen–year–old girl. Can the even handle a gun?” 

“Just say the word. Is it a yes or no?” 

“Let’s do it. 

“Okay, it’s settled then. We just had someone in our class score eighty–seven points.” 

Isabelle tilted her head slightly. She looked at the students shooting ahead and lost her mind. Her subtle expression was quite interesting, whether it was disdain or something else. 

As the first row finished shooting, Chase said, “Next row, step up.” His gaze swept over Isabelle. 

He instructed, “Legs in a V shape; straighten them out. How many times have I demonstrated this? Can’t you even lie down properly? I’ve shown you how to load the bullets so many times. Don’t you have brains?” 

They had to shoot from fifty metres in a prone position. 

Isabelle lay on the ground, lightly tossed the ten empty shells she had received, shook her head slightly, and couldn’t help but smile. 

Isabelle skilfully loaded the bullets at a casual pace. After being an assassin for so many years, she had never thought she would shoot with an empty shell 

Even the newcomers to the Dark Shadows, who had just started learning to shoot, used real bullets during training. Those people treated bullets as if they were free. 

Chase was still busy correcting other students. 

After Isabelle finished loading the bullets, she pressed them into the chamber and took aim. 

How many years had it been since she last shot? It was also a fixed target. 

How many points should she score? 

Chase went around, checking each student one by one. Almost every student received criticism. When he reached Isabelle, he had nothing to say to her. 

He said loudly, “Get ready! Fire!” 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

Before Chase could even give the command, Isabelle had fired all ten shots. 

While others were struggling to aim for their second shot, some girls even dropped their guns out of fear from the sound and recoiled; Isabelle had already finished.
