The Urban Dao Child

After the sparring, everyone was given a rest. During this time Laohu Bai called Feng Yun. The call connected in an instant, Feng Yun spoke coldly, “WHAT?”

Laohu Bai replied, “Young Master forgave me. Can you not be so angry now sister Yunyun.”

Feng Yun snorted, “Humph, you wait for the training camp to finish. I will teach you then.”

Laohu Bai said, “You… you… you bully. Eldest brother also said bad things to me. Now you also bully me. I will… yes, I will tell Young Master, about it. Then you see.” one thing was sure, this girl was a tsundere.

Feng Yun chuckled, “Okay, I was teasing you. Stop being a baby. Go train the students well.”

The call disconnected. Yang Dao, on the other hand, called over his squad. He said, “Let’s all sit down together, have a meal as we talk about the difficulties you guys faced. I will try my best to explain it to you.”

The others nodded and quickly gathered together after picking up their meals. Yang Dao asked them to sit on the ground in a circle. They followed. He watched as some people were picky about the food they were served. The boy chuckled and said, “You guys are being so picky about your food, do you know that there are people in the world who would kill to even have your leftovers?”

His words made everyone stop picking out stuff from the food. But they did not eat it anyhow. Yang Dao spoke again, “The meal is a blend of all the nutrients you need to get stronger. Being picky is also the reason why some of you lag in some aspects. I know, my words sound like a sermon to you. Yet what I say is based on facts.”

Sasha happened to be in his group, she asked, “What facts?”

Yang Dao said, “You can check on the net about the benefits of a balanced diet. I bet that some of you will even get rid of your long-time ailments such as weak eyesight, skinny physique, etc.”

Some guys even looked it up. They hardened their hearts and ate the food without picking out anything. A famous boy named Donnie asked, “Squad Leader, How do we break out of a hold if the opponent is stronger? For example, Theo held my neck between his arm and shoulder in the morning and I had to give up.”

Yang Dao said, “Always keep a calm mindset. Training helps you develop a calm mindset. Assess the situation first and then you will find a way out of it. How about you show me physically? I will try to break out of the hold. Okay?”

Donnie nodded and he stood up. Yang Dao also stood up and both came to the center of the circle. Donnie positioned himself behind Yang Dao held his neck between his elbow. Yang Dao had both his hands placed on Donnie’s arm trying to shake it off. The boy spoke, “I will try it now, are you ready?”

Donnie replied, “Yes.” Yang Dao raised held onto his arm and jumped up, going back down he moved his legs faster and his lower body passed under Donnie’s crotch. The momentum suddenly made the assaulted lean forward, the defender used his hands to exert a pull. Donnie lost his balance and Yang Dao broke free from his hold while he was sent over the latter’s body into a slam.

The other people were surprised. Some of them tried to break free from this in the hold in the morning but were incapable of it. Yang Dao explained the process in detail. He told them other methods as well. The process was so thorough that he classified some moves to be used by females specifically.

The break time finished, the students were asked then asked to gather for muscle training exercises and the obstacle course run. In the evening, they were given a basic kit and Talen led them into the forest to teach them survival. A bonfire was out of the question until they had a natural cover, otherwise, the light may attract the enemy to them.

They were taught how to make shelters using sticks and leaves. Some students were almost crying because of the harsh environment of the forest, while Yang Dao helped his squad by applying what he has learned. His calm attitude made the others calm down as well. They quickly finished their tasks, decided on the night watch, ate the dry rations.

This was how the first day of the training ended. The girls were complaining about mosquitoes and bugs as they slept but even Yang Dao was helpless with this. Thankfully, they all had full-sleeve military uniforms.

The next morning they all were allowed to take a shower. Yang Dao asked his squad to wash their uniforms so that they can wear the spare one, and this one will be clean for use tomorrow. His squad was very cooperative. No one complained to him. They did ask questions and reasoning behind his decisions but never did they complain. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

After a quick breakfast, they gathered in the ground. In front of them stood a smiling Kaya. She said, “Good morning everyone. Today we will learn, Gunfighting. Are you ready?”

The cadets all were hyped by her cheerful tone, “YES, SIR.”

Kaya said, “Follow me.” she turned on her heels and walked ahead. The two squads followed her, While Icarus’s squad had a lax manner, Yang Dao’s squad was as if well-trained scouts. They all had straight backs, sharp eyes.

Icarus spat to his squad, “Do you see them? Do you feel shame?” his words made all the guys ashamed and they started to behave a bit.

Soon the squads reached a make-shift shooting range. A few metal plates could be seen placed in some distance. Kaya pointed at the two closest and said, “We will first start with a handgun, the aim will be set at 10 meters. This is the easiest target in the range.”

She then came to a table where a lot of guns were placed. She said, “The guns are all filled with live ammo so, be very careful while handling them. If I see a single gun aimed towards your comrades. I will break your hands from three places.” these words did not match her smile, it gave the boys a chill down there spines. Those who had any ideas of flexing strangled it to death.

Kaya nodded when she noticed their expressions and she said as she picked up a handgun, “This is a standard military handgun. It is called Death Star 01, it comes with a fire rate of 10 bullets per 10 seconds. The recoil is not very much and beginners can handle it. The clip capacity is 15 bullets. Although you can use an extended clip you don’t need to know that. Now, I will show you how to use the gun first, then you will come over and shoot a clip of bullets for me.”

The students all nodded, Kaya showed them how to load the clip, slid the lock, aiming a stance. Then she shot BAM, BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM…

Kaya emptied a whole clip, all the bullets landing on the bull’s eye. She then called the two people from the back and asked them to pick up a gun each from the table in front. The students did as they were told, the process was clumsy but still manageable. They aimed. Kaya corrected their stance and then asked them to shoot. Even though they were somewhat prepared, the recoil shook them.

The loud firing sound made their ears tingle. One of them shot the target thrice while the other shot it twice. The rest of the bullets flew past the target. The session continued and everyone took a shot at the targets.

Finally, it was Icarus and Yang Dao’s turn. Kaya spoke, “The one who scores more gets extra points so, all the best, cadets.”

Yang Dao picked up the gun. He felt the weight of the object in his hand, the cold radiated from its dark body. He loaded a clip, slid off the safety lock, and came to stand in front of the target.

He stood with his left foot in front of his right, his shoulders slightly facing his right. This way he could keep the gun closer to his body. This was to reduce the recoil effect. Icarus also took a stance similar to him. Kaya checked them once, she nodded in affirmation and said start.

Yang Dao felt the whole world blur and only the red dot on the target was visible. The crosshair fell in line with the red dot and he squeezed the trigger. Yes, he squeezed it and did not pull it. Squeezing the trigger gives you a smoothness while shooting. On the other hand, pulling the trigger makes the muzzle shift.

BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM…

Fifteen shots in fifteen seconds. All hitting the target or to be precise, all hitting the bull’s eye. Icarus was shaken by such rapid shooting. He glanced at Yang Dao and mumbled, “This pervert.”

His perfect score was a surprise to Kaya as well. She could not help but ask, “Cadet Yang Dao, have you ever shot before?”

Yang Dao nodded, “Yes, Ma’am.”

Kaya asked, “When?”

Yang Dao replied, “In a fair, he I was in Bell city. That toy game, where you shoot of the cans. Why?”

Everyone almost did not faint at his reply.
