The group looked in the direction Vic was pointing; there was a small blue dot there.
Ordinary people can't even see it. Fortunately, the people present are no longer ordinary people, but the distance is still quite far, making it very difficult.
Wendy didn't speak, but simply nodded and took out a long spear.
It's somewhat like the rifle Vic used in his previous life, about 1.3 meters long, and without a scope.
This was custom-made by Wendy; it has a standard caliber.
This makes resupply easier. The bullets are not round, but cone-shaped like those from Vic's previous life. They are very powerful and have an effective range of about two kilometers.
Even a distance of one kilometer is quite challenging for Wendy now.
Wendy held the gun with both hands, the butt against her shoulder, one eye closed, the other eye fixed on the sight.
She was aiming at the blue dot, while the leaf swayed carefree in the breeze.
Vic didn't look in that direction; he closed his eyes, while the other three stared at the blue dot.
"Bang"
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet was already out of the barrel.
Under Vic 'Observation Haki, the bullet was moving very slowly, rotating forward at a snail's pace.
The blue leaves in the distance seemed motionless, but they were swaying slowly!
In Vic's perception, a long time had passed, but the other four felt as if only a moment had elapsed!
The bullet struck the blue leaf, passing right through its center and leaving a small hole.
"Missed it? What a pity!" Hina exclaimed.
" Vic, it's too far away, let Wendy take another shot!" Rebecca advised Vic.
Smoker didn't see clearly, but he didn't say anything.
Wendy remained quiet and did not say anything.
Vic opened his eyes and smiled as he glanced at the group.
" Wendy hit her, why did you have to fire another shot? You can go and see for yourselves up close," Vic said with a laugh.
Rebecca and Hina went together, but Wendy didn't move. She was confident in herself, believing that snipers had better eyesight.
Smoker, however, was too embarrassed to look. He genuinely hadn't seen clearly and felt a bit ashamed, so he remained silent, pretending to be deep in thought.
Rebecca and Hina returned, and they brought back the leaf.
This leaf was painted with Vic pigment; it will die if it's not picked.
" Wendy, you really hit it! You're amazing! I couldn't even see it from that far away!" Rebecca exclaimed to Wendy.
"Yes, Hina has never seen anyone so amazing either," Hina chimed in.
Wendy was a little embarrassed; she wasn't used to this kind of atmosphere.
Vic smiled as he looked at the three women, then glanced at Smoker.
Smoker noticed Vic's gaze. He was a little annoyed, but too embarrassed to show it, so he kept it to himself.
"Alright, this is just the first test. Now there's a second test. Don't get too excited yet. That was a stationary target; now we'll test you on moving targets."
Vic interrupted Rebecca and Hina's congratulations.
Wendy had guessed that this wouldn't be the only item, and she was prepared for it.
She simply nodded to Vic, indicating that Vic could begin.
Without further ado, Vic picked up the meat bones on the table and threw them into the sea.
Wendy raised her gun and fired; the bone didn't fly very far before it exploded.
Vic didn't go very fast; he planned to gradually increase his speed.
Since his Speed-Speed Fruit was good at that, he wanted to see where Wendy's limits were.
Vic noticed that Wendy hadn't loaded any bullets, so he knew the gun had a magazine.
The second bone flew out as well, this time at an even faster speed and heading diagonally upwards towards the sea surface. Wendy quickly shattered the bone.
By the eighth time, the speed had become very fast, reaching the speed of shaving.
Wendy missed this time; her eyes couldn't keep up with the speed!
However, Vic was very happy that Wendy had passed his test.
Once she reaches the Elite Camp and learns how to shave, this speed will be no problem for her.
Vic is confident that the speed at which they can capture targets will only increase in the future.
After all, with Observation Haki, speed isn't a big deal for a sniper, except for someone like Vic.
"Alright, I hereby announce that Wendy has passed my test, and she can now join my crew without any problem."
Vic announced the result with a smile.
Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she had missed with her last shot.
Rebecca and Hina were happy for Wendy, but Smoker remained cool and aloof.
" Wendy, how about this? I'll go find Instructor Andrew and tell him that you'll be like Rebecca from now on."
I'll focus solely on sniping, and spend the rest of my time training here. I'm currently working on Rebecca's Observation Haki.
You're a sniper, Observation Haki is very important. You two should practice together, supporting each other.
Wendy, how about this arrangement?
After identifying her sniper, Vic immediately began arranging her training.
"That's great, of course. I've been wanting to avoid other subjects for a long time, but I have no choice. There are exams, so it's always best not to study them," Wendy said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll talk to him during morning exercises tomorrow. If he doesn't agree, I'll challenge him to a duel," Vic said with a smile.
The three women, of course, knew what he meant by "sparring" and burst into laughter, while Smoker was holding it in.
Everything had been discussed, and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
Wendy, Smoker, and the other two left and went back to their dorm.
Vic didn't suggest Wendy move in too, since they weren't children anymore, and it might cause gossip. Running back and forth was a good form of exercise, after all.
The next day during morning exercises, Vic found Andrew.
Andrew panicked when he saw Vic coming to find him. He had managed to avoid him yesterday, but was he going to be caught off guard today?
"Instructor Andrew, I'm here to spar with you. We agreed on this yesterday, and we've had a whole day together. You should be ready by now, right?"
Vic said to Andrew with a smile.
"No... no, didn't I say yesterday that I had a lot of things to take care of? I don't have time!"
Andrew didn't dare to respond; he was genuinely a little afraid of this person.
"If you really don't have time, how about this, do you remember a student named Wendy? I'd like to talk to her," Vic added.
" Wendy, remember her? A little girl... No, no, you'll beat her to death!"
" Vic, how could you be so cruel? You wouldn't even spare such a young girl!" Andrew said angrily.
"Ahem, when did I say I wanted to spar with her? What I meant was that she'll be the sniper on my ship from now on."
So, regarding the courses, you know, I need to make some arrangements so I can have more time to train my soldiers. Do you understand?
Vic almost punched Andrew. Was he really that kind of person?
Vic was a bit irritable and really wanted to hit someone. He decided to go find Smoker later.
"You mean this? I... I've agreed to your request, but there won't be a next time!"
Andrew was reluctant to agree, but seeing Vic's clenched fist, he gave in!
"All you ever do is challenge me to a sparring match. Just wait, in a few days you'll see Vice Admiral Garp spar with you. What a fitting end, hahaha!"
Andrew's inner thoughts were also quite complex.
Seeing the fascinating expression on Andrew's face, Vic knew he wasn't thinking about anything serious.
I can't be bothered with him; things have already been settled, so he doesn't care anymore.
Vic arrived at the Elite Camp and approached Smoker, asking to spar with him.
Smoker shook his head vigorously, refusing to agree.
Having no other choice, Vic fought Zephyr, but Vic was once again rendered unable to move.
In the end, it was Zephyr who instructed Smoker to send Vic back.
Smoker looked disgusted and muttered curses all the way, but Vic didn't even realize what was happening and didn't hear a word he said.
When Rebecca saw Vic's dead body, she knew what had happened.
She greeted Smoker and started cooking, Smoker declined Rebecca's invitation to stay for dinner, showing no intention of doing so.
Vic was once again completely absorbed in the microscopic world.
Vic ate the meat and recovered the next day.
He resumed his regular spiritual practice, only now there was another figure in the seaside hut.
Wendy comes here every day to practice Observation Haki, and she always leaves with a bruised and swollen face.
Rebecca was always embarrassed; yes, this is the one Rebecca called.
Vic made the two of them hit each other, but the ones being hit were blindfolded, while the ones hitting were open-eyed.
Rebecca fared better; she had been training for a while and could dodge some attacks. Wendy, on the other hand, was no match and got beaten up badly.
Each time she left, she would give Vic a resentful look, which made Vic feel a little embarrassed, so he could only awkwardly smile apologetically.
The appointed time for Garp to return to headquarters finally arrived.
Andrew received a call from Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Garp Vic to go to the port to welcome his triumphant return.
When Andrew told Vic the news, Vic grimaced.
Did you take down Whitebeard or Big Mom? Kaido have been fine too. So you think you're all victorious? Have you no shame?
He just wants to beat himself up in front of everyone in the square, huh? Seriously!
