It was still a bit cold in the evenings before the arrival of May, especially when it was raining, and the air became more humid.
Ye Jian had been standing in the rain for half an hour. A wolfhound, tied by a leash, was barking merely ten centimeters away from her. Its continuous barking was terrifying.
“Snipers need to lurk for a long time, sometimes hours, sometimes days. You will never know when you will encounter danger! Embrace fear. Get used to fear. To become an outstanding sniper, you must overcome your fear.”
Principal Chen’s voice, harsh as steel, was heard among the sounds of the heavy rain. He was making a painstaking effort to cultivate Ye Jian.
“Be ready to hide at all times, and you will face storms, thunders, lightning, blizzards and the scorching Sun! You will learn to ignore the influence of nature and disturbance from your surroundings! Only by doing so will you waste no bullet!”
The rain was splashing harder while Principal Chen’s deep and heart-shaking voice sounded like the beating of drums to Ye Jian.
You must be able to withstand the shower from the storms if you want to see the rainbows afterward!
Ye Jian kept standing still despite the insane struggling and violent barking of the wolfhound, who had seen her as an intruder. It was struggling so hard that the iron leash was jangling noisily as if it would break free of the leash and pounce on Ye Jian!
Ye Jian had no way of hiding, regardless of her fear!
If her body shivered just a little bit, her feet would bleed from being pierced by the steel needles around her.
As Principal Chen put it, “If you retreat, it’s your comrades who will bleed!”
Remember, there is no backing out after you pick up your sniper rifle. You must get rid of your targets to complete your assignments perfectly!
If you don’t want to bleed or see your comrades sacrifice, you should become formidable!
After standing in the heavy rain for one hour, Ye Jian couldn’t feel her legs anymore.
Holding a towel, Principal Chen walked over to Ye Jian and squatted down slowly. Amiably, he looked at Ye Jian who had collapsed onto the ground due to fatigue. He said in a deep voice, “Girl, this is the path you have chosen. Only by finishing your training, through your blood and tears, can you embrace your highest moment.”
Gently, he placed the towel on Ye Jian’s head and continued instructing her, “Your future is brighter than the flowers in the greenhouse because you will grow under the sun day by day. Kid, believe me, although you have no parents to protect you, you will have a more wonderful life than any other person!”
Principal Chen had heard of what happened during the day. After a long time of silence, he added an extra training session for Ye Jian.
He was trying to tell Ye Jian that she was different! And her talents were irreplaceable because she would always rely on herself to achieve success!
Ye Jian finally got her breath back. She raised her head. Washed by the rain, her eyes were as bright as a mirror, which could reflect the beauty and ugliness of everything.
She lifted her hands to wipe the raindrops off her face. She smiled at the senior, “I will hold on till the end! I’m doing it for myself, and not for anyone else!”
“Rest assured. I, Ye Jian, will never give up halfway, and nor will I be daunted by any obstacles!”
She would clear away the obstacles in her way!
“Good, good, good,” Principal Chen burst into laughter and stood up. “Good girl, you are magnanimous and fearless. Ye Ying is no match for you!”
“No, you are wrong,” Ye Jian stood up, smiling gently, “She is my rival who has been pushing me towards progress! I really look forward to seeing her face when I crush her pride!”
