However, just as Franca finished her words, the two of them squeezed through the crowd and saw the game that was already coming to an end in the center.

"boom."

With a sound, the firearms on one side were completely assembled amid the noise, and they slammed heavily on the table, declaring her victory.

On the other side, the operator sent by Black Steel International still had the last few parts and a bullet left to be loaded.

Although it seems like there is only a difference of a few seconds, but when it comes to the project of quickly disassembling and assembling firearms, the difference of a few seconds is enough to illustrate the huge gap in strength between the two.

"——I used to use a bow and crossbow, and I'm not very skilled in assembling firearms."

After doing all this, Graythroat replied calmly. Perhaps she had no ill intentions, but at this moment, her words were simply the biggest provocation to her opponent.

As expected, when Graythroat said this, she was glared at by many people around her, but she herself seemed to be completely unaware and even looked a little innocent.

Jessica, who was hiding her face, was also a little helpless. She had thought several times that Graythroat might consider becoming a diplomat in front of the army. His art of speaking was simply a natural mockery unit.

"--What's the time?" Razer, who had just arrived, asked the people from Black Steel International.

"7...7:42."

Looking at the stopwatch in his hand, the Black Steel International official couldn't help swallowing and said this somewhat unbelievable number.

This firearm is not complicated. It is the most basic type and its structure is also very simple. Black Steel International also has some firearm disassembly and assembly training. A firearm like this can be assembled quickly within ten seconds.

But seven seconds...to be honest, none of these people have ever heard of it.

The guy who just went up to compete was already the fastest in assembling firearms among them, and could complete it within nine seconds. But now, he was crushed by the female operator from Rhodes Island in front of him.

"7 seconds...almost 42 seconds."

But at this moment, Razer frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Razer raised his head and shouted to the crowd:

"Jessica! Cathead!"

"--exist!"

After a while, a small figure emerged from the crowd. The cat-headed man, who was only 147 cm tall, squeezed out of the crowd and asked Razer timidly, "Yes, what's the matter? Senior Razer."

"——Jessica, you play in the next round."

"Ugh?!"

However, Razer's words made Jessica slightly stunned, and the next moment, she let out a cry of grief...

Chapter 80: Graythroat's Rival, Jessica

“Ah ...

What did I hear just now?!

Razer-senpai - are you letting me go up to compete? Are you really choosing me?

At this moment, Cat Head was immersed in the instructions that Razer had just given her and couldn't extricate herself. At this moment, she felt her brain was in a mess and she had no time to react.

Fortunately, it seemed that he had anticipated this. Razer walked over, pulled Jessica over, lowered his head and said:

"Jessica, don't be nervous, just listen to me."

"——Today's competition is about the reputation of Black Steel International, so we absolutely cannot fall behind."

"Jessica, wasn't your best assembly time last time over six seconds?"

"Yes, it is, but..."

Cat Head was still a little hesitant. She naturally knew that the result that Razer was talking about was a record she had accidentally broken during her daily training, which was also the record of firearms assembly of Black Steel International over the years.

But... that was a broken record that was discovered by coincidence when Jessica was completely unconscious.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people... Jessica didn't know if she could still display her original strength.

"Jessica, calm down, I believe you can do it."

However, at this time, although Razer knew Jessica's worries, at this critical juncture, they could only trust Mao Maotou.

Others don't know, but Razer is very clear about Jessica's strength - Jessica is not weak, on the contrary, her strength is very reliable. If you look down on her because of her timid and cowardly character, you will definitely regret it.

However, it is precisely because of this that Mao Mao Tou's character is really... to put it bluntly, she is not suitable for big tasks. She is too timid. If she is given any key tasks, there is no telling what will go wrong. Exerting too much pressure may cause Mao Mao Tou to collapse.

Razer and Franka sometimes have a headache because of Cathead's personality, but now... they can only trust Cathead.

After all, except for Cathead, no one else present had a chance of defeating Graythroat at their best.

"…Are you next?"

However, when looking at Franka who was pushed up by Razer, Graythroat's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became serious, with a pair of sharp eyes staring straight at the cat's head.

"——I will do my best."

"Please, please give me more advice..."

Cat Head was obviously frightened by Gray Throat's eyes, but it was just a simple fright. After taking a series of deep breaths, Cat Head slowly regained his composure.

"Keep breathing...keep calm...don't be nervous..."

"..." On the other side, Gray Throat, who was a sniper and could hear clearly even in a noisy environment, frowned slightly after hearing Cathead's mumbling.

"Then--" Razer picked up the stopwatch and said to the two of them:

"—Now, start!"

"boom!"

Almost at the sound of a command, a flash of afterimage appeared, and Gray Throat and Cat Head almost simultaneously grabbed the firearms that had been disassembled in front of them and began to assemble them quickly.

The fingers of the two girls are extremely sharp. Even human pupils cannot keep up with the afterimages. Only a few elites can keep up with the pace of the two girls.

And the elites who could keep up with this speed could see at this moment that Graythroat and Jessica’s speed were evenly matched!

No! Jessica was even half a minute faster!

Graythroat didn't lie. Compared to the firearms she had just started to use, she was more proficient in assembling automatic crossbows. During this period, Teacher Jessica had been helping her get familiar with firearms. In addition, she had good talent, a stable mentality, and was willing to endure hardships, which led to her current achievements.

But Jessica is different. From the moment she joined Black Steel International, she realized her shortcomings. Therefore, in pursuit of efficiency, she chose firearms as her weapon.

It can be said that although Jessica has only been employed for three years, her understanding and use of firearms are probably among the best in Black Steel International.

Although she is not aware of this.

Jessica's fingers were very fast. Although they seemed to be similar to Graythroat at first glance, her deep understanding of firearms enabled her to know how to restore the firearms in the shortest time and with more skills.

A few seconds passed in a flash, and suddenly we arrived at the last link!

Put down the pistol, pick up the magazine, and load a bullet!

And at the moment Jessica put down the assembled firearm, put down the firearm and picked up the magazine, Graythroat had just been assembled!

Win! Jessica was delighted, but she became nervous unconsciously.

And it was because of this nervousness that she made a small mistake.

"Boom."

The bullet that was held between Jessica's fingers with a little force suddenly shook, and suddenly fell out of Jessica's fingers.

"Bang." Jessica was stunned by the sound of the bullet falling to the ground.

Although she was stunned for only a short moment, the opportunity had already slipped through her fingers.

"Crack!"

With the sound of a loaded gun, Jessica suddenly came back to her senses, only to be faced with a dark gun muzzle in front of her.

At this moment, facing the muzzle of the gun, the magazine in Jessica's hand, which was only one step away from being completed, looked so funny and ironic.

“…I, I lost.”

Finally, Jessica slowly put down the magazine in her hand, her cat ears shrank sadly, and a faint voice slowly came.

However, there was no trace of joy on the face of the victorious Graythroat. Instead, he looked very confused and subconsciously looked at Jessica who was hiding her face beside him.

…But she didn’t get a response. The teacher’s eyes were always on the cat-headed girl over there.

"…It's okay, Jessica."

Looking at the sad and depressed Jessica, Razer and Franka looked at each other and couldn't help but come forward to comfort her.

"Yeah, cat head, don't be sad." Franca also took good care of Jessica. She stroked Jessica's little head and comforted her:

"You just made a mistake. If you hadn't made this mistake, you would have won."

"——There are no ifs on the battlefield. Mistakes are also failures."

However, at this moment, Jessica on the side finally spoke. The moment her hoarse voice sounded, it seemed to have a natural and wonderful charm, which made no matter how noisy the environment was, it would become quiet and everyone's attention would be diverted.

Her voice, which she deliberately conceals, is not pleasant to the ear, but what always convinces people is her strength and responsibility.

Jessica walked slowly to the front of Mao Maotou with the sniper rifle in her hand. Facing her tearful little face, the corners of Jessica's mouth twitched unconsciously.

However, she quickly calmed down and said to Jessica calmly:

"Let me ask you, are you convinced?"

"Huh?" The cat head obviously didn't react and was stunned.

"...Let me ask you, are you convinced?"

Under the slightly surprised eyes of Graythroat beside her, Jessica repeated it lightly.

This time, Maomaotou heard it clearly.

"I, I..." Mao Maotou wanted to say something, but seemed to have some concerns. However, facing Jessica, she finally expressed her true feelings.

"——Yes, I am a little bit...unconvinced."

"…It's fine if you don't accept it."

Jessica said lightly, then stretched out her fingers, gently wiped away the tears on the cat's face, and continued:

"Wipe your tears. Since you are not convinced, let's have a comprehensive test."

"This is not only for my useless disciple, but also for you."

Jessica's words were quite meaningful. However, before anyone could react, Jessica's eyes turned to Razer and Franka on the other side and said lightly:

"Then, I'll trouble you two seniors to prepare the rest."

"——The competition that will be held next is a mock battle. I hope that this time the strength of the two contestants can be fully demonstrated."

Chapter 81: Jessica's Self-Doubt

In the eyes of many people, Maomaotou's failure in the first game was just a simple mistake. If there had been no mistake, Maomaotou should have won this game steadily.

However, as Miss Jessica said, there is no "if" on the battlefield. If you make a mistake, it is still a part of your failure.

Fortunately, Jessica prepared a second round for them to decide the outcome.

"It's a simulated confrontation battle, conducted in a randomly selected terrain environment. For sniper operators, such a large area is simply a paradise for them."

"…Can the cat head be used?"

However, Franka, who could only observe the situation on the simulated battlefield through the big screen at the moment, was a little worried about the condition of Cat Head.

After all, Cathead’s performance when acting alone... was really unsatisfactory.

If it wasn't because she was too weak to act alone, with Jessica's strength, how could she be included in a team like Razer and Franka? She would have already led her own team to lead the newcomers.

Many of her colleagues who have been trained at Black Steel International for three years have already brought in one or even two batches of new people, but Jessica has always been a "formal employee" due to her personality and has not been promoted for a long time. This is the reason.

"…I am worried too, but right now, we can't help."

Razer looked at the large screen, which showed no signs of movement, and after a long while, he spoke calmly:

"Jessica...it's time for her to grow up. We protected her so well in the past that we began to think that it was okay to keep protecting her."

“—but that’s not realistic.”

Razer was very sober, or rather, she had always been very sober, but in such an environment, she was able to hide her thoughts and some of her words.
