[b]Yeah, the Cainhurst sim had already shut off. I had used the panel inside to change it to a targeting range. It was a damn long one. Around 2000 feet total. There was a target at the end of the hallway. When Irina walked in, I handed her a sniper rifle.[/b]
"You get three shots. If all three are bullseyes, you're in."

"...Look, I...I already know I can't do this. I'm not a sniper. I've never sniped in my life, I'd be lucky to hit the side of the target." [i]I was going to go ahead and be honest with Grant here. Sure, I was good with a pistol, especially my Evelyn. But I knew I couldn't be a sniper. I wasn't good at all with firearms from medium to long range, and I knew I couldn't hit a target with a sniper. I almost felt bad, like some sort of child disappointing a parent because they couldn't do something special. And in this case, Grant would be the parent, assuming he actually cared.[/i]

"Listen, I have to do this. I have to make you take the First Recon test. NCR protocol. Personally I wouldn't make you do it, but I gotta know if you have what it takes." [b]I cross my arms, my voice was stern. This would happen whether she like it or not.[/b] "Now start a shootin."

Edited by Orn: 11/1/2016 12:48:09 AM"Damnit. Fine, fine." [i]I went ahead and set myself up to shoot, aiming down the barrel and at the target set up by the simulation or Grant, I didn't know. Holding my breath, I fired once, the first shot slamming into the bullseye. The second shot was too far to the right from the bullseye, and too high. The third was closer, yet still far to the left.[/i] [i]As I rose up, I sighed and held the rifle tightly. I was happy I at least hit one of the shots in the bullseye.[/i]

"Pretty damn good for your first time. Still, not good enough to get in First Recon. Remember, you can re-take the test any time." [b]I walk over, and tear the target down. I was impressed with her work, really good for her first time. I barely passed my test, first chance. I bring the target up to the wall, and write [i]Irina Eiliza[/i] on it, to mark the first try. I hand it to her.[/b]

"...I could've done much better. Maybe if I dedicated as much time as I do swordsmanship into sniping. But I'd hate to quit practicing melee and rely on range." [i]I took the paper, staring deeply into where the rounds had slammed through. It meant a lot to me, seeing this up close. It gave me much more room for me to improve my skills, get better at what I considered a hobby; combat.[/i]

"One more thing before ya go. If ya kill any Legion, bring me their ears. I'll pay you for them. I can sell stuff to ya too." [b]I had shit-tons of extra supplies. I had enough to sell some.[/b]
-
"Ears. Got it." [i]To be completely honest, I had collected worse that ears before. Try searching around in pools of the blood of Hunters you just murdered, while looking for things called Blood Dregs, which was basically bits of blood that had froze. Searching for the damn things paid off, in the end.[/i] "...Guess I'll see you around. Adios, Grant." [i]I chuckled, before leaving the simulation room quietly.[/i] [i](Fin. I'll probably RP in first-person when I'm with Grant now XD.)[/i]
