All Time Marksman

Chapter 114 - Entering The Main Event

The day ended with all of them having a good rest for the upcoming training regimes for tomorrow.

The next morning came and they started their training with the black-armored knight candidates and its counterpart the white armored knights that were supposed to be the policing force of the city.

Jin and the group entered a dome-like training grounds. Inside the dome was a full-on exercise field at the same time it has a different type of atmosphere depending on the day that the instructors want. Sometimes it becomes rainy, sunny, or even hotter than sunny. 

"What a place we have here no Squad leader?" Han Zian exclaimed as he reminds him of the training they did for squad members.

After a while, they walked towards to one of the training obstacles of the first phase of the training that the candidates have to undergo, basic hand-to-hand combat which mostly occurs inside the city.

Because mostly the people inside the cities are the ones who are not able to fight for themselves.  It is also an added reason Because most of the recruited candidates were either not given a Player type system or User abilities.

That is why they need to train 4 times to get on par with a player or a user in a field. And while Jin and the other were watching the training of hand to hand combat some of the candidates looked at them. And one of them whispered to the person next to him.

"Hey have you noticed those new people?" and the other person replied 'Yea, I think they are new people for candidacy…" 

"Their techniques seem normal if they fight a person with a skill that is not trained by N.D.A.M forces or a Rebel cell Hooded figures, they can fight a simple bandit that sometimes can use to utilize a weapon used by players or a user that have just learned a few tricks,"

Jin whispered as he was observing the fight that was in front of him.

And then one of the instructors noticed Jin was standing at the side. And the instructor thought that Jin was here for the training phase to join the White armored Knight division of the city security.

So the instructor looked at Jin and said "Hey cadet!" the instructor shouted with his deep furious voice. And Jin thought that the instructor was calling someone until he points himself. "Sir, are you calling me?" Jin was confused as he doesn't really want to fight a basic candidate that was just learned a basic of fighting. 

"Sir I am not a candidate for the armored knights" Jin replied with a calm tone but the instructor still insists that he needs to fight the candidates. Meanwhile at the back Han Zian and Fang Shirong chuckled when the instructor insists Jin fight with the candidates that the instructor has been molding to become armored knights.

"Damn that instructor is only making things hard for them to train, like why do they wanna call the squad leader of a squad to battle with candidates that did not even have a taste of a first battle. This is what I call bullying." Fang Shirong whispered at the back as he looked at Han Zian who was giggling, "I hope that the squad leader will take it easy on them" Han Zian stated.

And Jin walked forward and then the instructor said "Who wants to fight with this new guy? Who will be the representative of this batch of candidates?" and then 2 guys steps froward both of them were well-built guys that were strong enough to beat two normal new trained Squad member. 

And Jin looked at the two of them and the two looked at Jin. "What about you guys? let's finish this and come at me both?" Jin exclaimed and one of the candidates replied to the taunt "Wow, look at this guy boasting. You think you can take on Dai Ying!" one of the candidates that were on the sideline shouted.

And Dai Ying walked towards the middle and said "I will take you on first!" Dai Ying raised both of his fists. And Jin stood there looking at him and waiting for his response Jin was always observant of his enemies. He doesn't want to move first due to because there are hundreds of combinations that you can return the attack of the enemy to your attack movements.

And that is what happens the first few jabs against Jin were thrown, Jin dodges all of the jabs as if Dai Ying was testing the waters that were in front of him.

"I see that you are testing the waters that are in front of you" Jin exclaimed as he was dodging two-three jab punches that are being thrown at him. The combination was perfect for perfect hand-to-hand combat.

But due to that all of the players know how to kill and fight. Jin saw an opening from below because there are no rules on the fight. Jin dodges down and simultaneously kicking the left-back feet of Dai Ying. Dai Ying knelt before Jin, after that Jin stood up quickly, and with a swift direct left punch and a follow up of an uppercut punch Dai Ying dropped on the ground.

The instructor was amazed at what he has seen, He blinked twice as to what he saw was true. Meanwhile, at the back Fang Shirong and Han Zian were laughing as all of the candidates began to get scared of what they have seen.

The second man looked at Jin and walked a few steps forward and said. "My name is Gong Hu, and I will be your opponent as my comrade Dai Ying have failed to meet the expectation of our instructor"

And Jin nodded "And because you introduced yourself, As I too will let you know my name. I am Ru Jin and I am a marksman, player" and Gong Hu felt the intimidation that Jin has expressed. He felt that pressure that he is fighting a real enemy that they will meet in the future one of the players. 

Gong Hu charged forward with a raised fist, throwing precise punches at Jin, and Jin was quite amazed not like the first one he fought Gong Hu has the capabilities to defeat a player that is about to enter a squire squad because of the combat precision he is giving off.

But Jin also saw a flaw in one of his steps, Jin swiftly blocks the throwing punch, pulling Gong Hu's arm forward and then punching Gong Hu to his face. After that Jin kicked the thigh that was at the back. With that Gong Hu knelt in front of Jin.

Gong Hu tried to punch Jin using his left fist but it was no use as Jin already has predicted that and kicked Gong Hu at his chest. After Jin kicked Gong Hu at his chest, Gong Hu flew a few meters away from the battle arena.

And with that Jin won two consecutive matches against the candidates. Han Zian, Fang Shirong, and the others were happy about the results of the fight. Meanwhile, on the instructor side, they felt cheated as they did not know that Jin has that kind of strength and did not even said that he had that kind of straight. 

``tch, I need to make these students feel that because they are not a player they can no longer fight a good match with a player`` the instructor clenched his fist as he felt pissed because Jin made them feel embarrassed and disrespected.

After the fight, Jin said while looking at the other candidates "Train more, not only by combat but also your physique and mind being a fighter is not always muscles it also involves the brain so better enhance both the mind and body."

  Jin turns around and looked at the team he is forming. 10 people under him, Jin said "Alright all of you start with running a few laps around this dome, few means above 9 after that take a 20-minute break and then complete the obstacle course laps around 3 more times. After that rest for 30 minutes and do a physical exercise push up and burpees."

Jin crossed his arms as he looked at the new people under him.

``They need to train like how we train ourselves being in a squad so that they can catch up to any of the scenarios that might happen.`` After that Jin shouted "Move!" and all of them began running to start the laps.

Meanwhile, for Jin, he goes to a room where there was a virtual-like reality system. Jin walked towards a monitor that is big enough and then he looked at the side and then grabbed a headgear for the connection of the virtual reality. after entering Jin grab a weapon that was for the room. Jin chose a weapon that is also a rifle but as the same as an FXR-Raven.

Jin entered a specific number of enemies. And as he inputted the number at the window screen. The whole place suddenly changes like he was sent into a void that was sucking him in and like he was being transported into a new place that was unknown to him.

The place was an urban city that there are buildings that is surrounding him. Jin grips the handle of the rifle he is using, he raised the rifle and the first thing he noticed was the type 3 Lone Spiked Wolves that was started to come to his location.

The Lone spiked wolves were growling as if they were hungry for human meat. Jin aimed the rifle and pulled the trigger for a few counted shots.

*BRRRRT* *BRRT* and the bullet just did not pierce through the thick fur of type 3 lone spiked wolves. And because of that fired shot the lone spiked wolves, charged forward.

And Jin notices that there was a knife that was supposed to be attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle. And from that moment Jin thought of an idea of how can a marksman fight in a close combat scenario but also take into the aspect where secondary cannot be used at the time.

Jin smiled as the lone spiked wolves were running towards him, there were around 4 lone spiked wolves that were running towards him as the first batch of enemies.
