Girls und War

I usually do some odd jobs, hang around and stand guard when I have nothing to do, and that's considered completing my mission.

Although the food, logistics and other support are worse than those of the front-line combat troops.

But others have to fight a tough battle.

What's wrong with better pay for a job that requires you to work hard?

Do as much as you eat, this is an eternal truth.

If you want to be useless, why not just not join the army?

But then again, the Red Dragon Squadron is still relatively comfortable compared to other front-line companies.

At least they didn't have to work overtime during their shift this time.

When the time for taking over came, the Yalang Squadron replaced them.

Not a single moment of time was wasted.

Although the front-line combat troops in several other war zones were very unhappy, they had no reason to refute.

But when it comes to overtime, there are still some people who are not logging off because of other reasons rather than direct combat.

That is the ace sniper selection team in the sea area, a group of girls led by Suicune, and where Elena is.

Elena, oh Elena, her hard times are not over yet.

The psychological impact that Xia Shu had on her had not eased at all in recent days, but had actually worsened.

She often had auditory and visual hallucinations, imagining that Xia Shu might appear at any time and kill her with a knife.

But this kind of suspicious mentality unexpectedly gave her a considerable degree of motivation.

She has become stronger. (Resolve +1)

As for why Shui Jun asked these girls to work overtime continuously——

Are you kidding? When has Suicune ever cared about the rotation arrangements?

Ace Snipers never look at the time. They are online when they say they are online, and offline when they say they are offline.

Moreover, Suicune is a real workaholic. She spends several times more time in the imaginary battlefield than in the normal world.

At her peak, she even set an absolute online record of one year and two months without going offline.

No one has surpassed it so far.

If her body functions hadn't deteriorated so severely, she could even continue to stay in the coffin warehouse.

So, as long as the sniper selection training is not over, they will not dare to mention the matter of logging off in front of Suicune.

Fortunately, so far, there are only two female soldiers left participating in the selection.

Besides Elena, there was the elite old sergeant.

Now the team in the sea area is waiting for these two people to decide the winner.

It has to be said that everyone had a rough idea in their minds that the old sergeant would be able to make it to the end.

This veteran sergeant is far ahead of other contestants in terms of experience and strength. In the eyes of many, it is natural for him to be able to leave the others behind.

But the fact that Elena, the new recruit, could make it to the end was beyond most people's expectations.

To be honest, Elena has no advantage at all compared to other contestants.

The same goes for practical experience and training level.

The only thing worth mentioning is the amazing willpower she showed during the selection process.

But willpower is something that is useful. If you say it is useless, it is definitely not very useful either.

Battlefield combat isn't a shonen manga; a lack of strength is a lack of strength. Willpower alone can never erase the huge gap in hard power.

For example, when Xia Shu hammered Elena, was her willpower much worse than it is now?

She was still pressed to the ground, gasping for breath, without any temper at all.

In short, Elena is a contestant that no one is optimistic about. Everyone generally believes that the old sergeant will eliminate the new recruits and promote the next ace sniper.

And the facts are indeed moving in this direction.

That day, the last competition between the two also ended.

On the hellish cross-country track designed by Suicune himself, the veteran sergeant surpassed the new recruit with an overwhelming advantage.

A brutal and bloody journey - thorns, blades, barbed wire... basically anything that can infiltrate people.

After finishing the race, there was not a single piece of good flesh left on the two men's bodies.

If the selection site had not been set up within the imaginary battlefield, human rights organizations would have come knocking on the door long ago.

Elena did try hard, but the result was truly disastrous.

The old sergeant's statistics completely eclipsed hers. Even those who were optimistic about her future prospects could only shake their heads and sigh in despair at the sheer disparity in rank.

"Well, the results this time are very clear, so I won't compare them." Hawkeye glanced at the data in the record book, then looked up at the two contestants and the officers participating in the selection and said, "As the teacher said, we only have one training spot to offer. So, there's no need to elaborate on the results, right?"

As she spoke, she secretly turned her head to glance at Suicune who was resting with his eyes closed beside her.

Suicune didn't offer any opinion and seemed too lazy to say anything more.

Everyone's expressions were not surprised, even Elena herself had a numb expression.

Winning or losing is really not that important to her.

Her defeat was not unfair at all since her opponent was such an old non-commissioned officer.

Hawkeye felt a little sorry for Elena's pitiful appearance. He consoled her, "You've worked hard, too. I suggest you go back and practice more. You can always come back next time if you have the chance."

Elena nodded blankly, not knowing whether she had heard it or not.

"Then if everyone has no objection..."

"I have objections."

Suddenly someone spoke.

Hawkeye shut his mouth immediately, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound with confusion.

The speaker is not someone else.

It was the winner of this selection, the old sergeant who crushed Elena in all aspects.

Hawkeye was slightly surprised and subconsciously looked at his teacher.

Suicune also opened his eyes at this time and looked at the non-commissioned officer.

But he didn't say anything.

So Hawkeye asked on behalf of Suicune, "What do you want to say?"

The old sergeant sighed, rubbed his neck slightly in dissatisfaction, and said, "I always feel that I have been ordered around by you for so long, and you have not given me any respect at all. I feel very unhappy. When I think about having to start from the beginning as a junior, I feel uncomfortable all over.

"I'm a sergeant after all, and you want me to do this?

“Then I don’t want to be the ace sniper.

"You should let me go back to the company and continue to be the boss.

“Fuck you.

"I quit. I'm done."

438. No, I didn’t give up for you! Humph! (mouth area)

After the old sergeant said this, almost everyone showed a shocked expression.

Although they could imagine how arrogant the old non-commissioned officers who had been dominating the grassroots companies for a long time were.

But this was the first time they had seen someone so directly display their arrogance and go against the selection agency.

Judging from the expression of the old sergeant, such an action does not seem to be an impulse.

She seemed to have made preparations. After passing the selection, she simply expressed her attitude and withdrew from the selection directly.

It’s like a top student who has been recommended by a key university, but arrogantly says: I have the ability to go, but I don’t like your school, so I won’t go.

Instead of saying like a loser - It’s not that I can’t learn it, it’s that I’m too lazy to study seriously.

It is free and easy to give up when you can do it, otherwise it is foolish.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, the old sergeant let out a sneer. He continued, "I don't understand why you take the position of an ace sniper so seriously. Is it really that important? And you guys, all day long, how can you look down on us like that? You really treat us like animals."

The old sergeant's words were directed at Suicune with veiled sarcasm, and Hawkeye's expression immediately became tense.

She turned to look at the teacher, whose face was calm and seemed completely unmoved.

Suicune wasn't surprised by the veteran sergeant's temper. She had seen many more self-righteous veterans in the various grassroots companies.

They have the ability and the military experience. Their unattainable military rank also makes it impossible for ordinary lower-ranking officers to deal with them.

After all, he is used to being the boss in the company, so it is normal that he doesn't like the depressing environment here.

After being eliminated along the way and going through so much hardship, it's normal to have some opinions about yourself.

But no matter how arrogant and frivolous the old non-commissioned officers were, they absolutely agreed with one thing in the army.

That is strength.

Suicune slowly opened his mouth and said to her calmly, "I've read your resume. You've been in the army for six years, fighting in twenty-nine battles, large and small. You've killed thirty-four enemies, and earned six Iron-edged Medals and two Silver-edged Medals. You've made tremendous contributions to your company."

"If you hadn't failed the officer exams several times and had a bad record of assaulting new recruits, you would have probably entered the military academy and become a basic officer. For this reason, I feel sorry for you."

The old sergeant's expression changed when he heard what Suicune said.

Suicune continued, "I have been in the army for eight years and have fought in one hundred and sixty-five battles, both large and small. I have killed over three hundred enemies and have received more medals than you could count with your bare hands and feet. Tell me, do I have the right to treat you like a beast?"

The old sergeant was speechless.

Suicune pointed at Hawkeye, who had been directing the selection process, and Little Jack, who was standing beside her, and continued, "You can check the battle records of these two little bastards to see if they are qualified to use you like a beast."

The old sergeant sneered again, but did not answer out of pride.

But now that things have come to this, she will definitely not regret what she said.

Suicune only gave a brief mention and did not use words to over-press the veteran who had made such great military achievements.

But she couldn't possibly teach a guy who didn't listen to her at all.

The subsequent training will only be more depressing and uncomfortable than the current cruel selection.

I can't stand it now, and my dissatisfaction will only grow stronger in the future.

So Suicune glanced at Hawkeye and signaled her to announce the result.

Hawkeye understood and immediately said, "Since someone has withdrawn, another one will be automatically elected. New recruit, do you have any objections?"

Elena was in a daze, seemingly unaware of what had just happened, until Hawkeye called her a few times and she came to her senses.

Hawkeye was afraid that Elena would do something weird on a whim.

But Elena just replied "yes" and said nothing more.

It seemed as if nothing had anything to do with her.

In this way, Elena passed the selection under very incredible circumstances and became another student of Suicune.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will become the next ace sniper to be promoted in the sea area.

As for how far Elena can go, it depends on herself.

Hawkeye also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Finally, I completed the task successfully and did not disappoint the teacher's expectations.

Fortunately, multiple candidates passed the elimination round this time. Otherwise, given Suicune's personality, he would rather have no students at all than resort to filling in the gaps.

The only drawback is that the strength of Elena, the new recruit, is slightly insufficient.

It seems that she will need some additional training on military basics later.

Hawkeye examined Elena again and wondered why this new recruit seemed so dull.

Is there any psychological problem?
