[Master K] The bad one next door

After a few seconds of silence, several students with sniper guns stood up slowly and walked towards the open gate of the gymnasium with heavy steps, followed by candidates from the vehicle department.Maya roughly counted them, and among these people, students from the sniper department and the vehicle department each accounted for half, adding up to exactly ten people.When the figures of the first batch of candidates disappeared inside the gate of the gymnasium, the whispering sounded again, but the voice was obviously suppressed a lot on purpose.

In just a moment, the originally lively atmosphere was suppressed, and finally it was so serious that it could be called a "serious exam".This is enough for people to get a glimpse of how great the deterrent power of that electronic synthesis sound is—or, in other words, how powerful the person behind it is.

Maya frowned, and asked Shinichi Hirobe beside him in a low voice, "Are the sniper and vehicle exams taken together?"

Hirobe nodded: "This year seems to be the case."

"This year?"

The silver-haired boy looked at her in surprise, then nodded as if he had thought of something.

"That's right, since you went to ordinary schools before, it's normal if you don't know. How should I put it, the content of the annual rating test at Butei High School is not static." Hirobe patiently explained, "It often changes. For example, last year, the Assault Section was taken together with the Sniper Section. I applied for the Vehicle Section. I don’t know the specifics of that exam. Send, the Assault Division is in charge of melee combat, and the Sniper Division is responsible for long-range support..."

Seeing that the black-haired girl opened her eyes slightly, he couldn't help laughing: "It's full of flavor, right? Well, that kind of dangerous battle and my life are two worlds. Don't worry too much, although the sniper class is also a high-risk class, it is much better than the assault class with a [-]% mortality rate."

Although he said comforting words relaxedly, Shinya diverted his attention because of another implication in his words: "The death rate is [-]%?"

"That is to say, among the students in the assault department, three of every one hundred students will die."

"I know this, but..."

"Dead people are very common in Butei, but the Assault Division is particularly prominent—it's better to say that students and teachers die every year in the disciplines that fight on the front line." Hirobe tapped the car Handle, "Yazawa-chan, you have to be careful, even the sniper department has a [-]% mortality rate."

Shinichi Hirobe smiled harmlessly to humans and animals, but Shinya suddenly felt shuddering.She swallowed, lowered her head, and muttered, "I won't die easily... But thank you for your concern."

She didn't say anything after that, she rubbed her fingertips against the badge of Tokyo Butei High School on her chest, as if she was venting her anger with someone.Hirobe stared at her inexplicably for a while, not quite understanding what he said wrong, so he turned his head helplessly and continued to look at this surprisingly large stadium.

<<<<<<

The fourth batch of candidates has been in for nearly 10 minutes.

According to the rule of a group of ten people, Shinya judged that he and Hirobe should be the fifth batch of candidates.Sure enough, when the fourth batch of candidates also came out of the gymnasium, the dull electronic synthesized voice called their examination numbers.

When passing by the fourth batch of candidates, Shinya secretly observed the ten students.Although the expressions were different, no one was injured anyway.This made her, who had been on tenterhooks all this time, finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.She was about to turn her head to look for Hirobe Shinichi, and she had already stepped on the motorcycle, when the silver-haired boy who drove up to her patted her on the shoulder: "Let's go."

Mami responded, carried the gun on her back, and quickened her pace to follow behind him.

The two walked into the gate of the gymnasium with the fifth batch of candidates.The moment they saw the panoramic view inside the gymnasium, the students suddenly burst into an uproar.

"Amazing……"

Although he had already imagined how spectacular the scenery in the gymnasium would be, when Zhenya actually saw it, he couldn't help feeling a sense of awe in his heart.

The snow-white ceiling covers the entire gymnasium like the sky, covered with star-shaped fluorescent lamps, the auditorium is densely packed, and the stars surround the stadium. The spacious and atmospheric space makes people deeply feel that they are nothing but a world a grain of sand.When Zhenya stood at the door, he had an inexplicable illusion that he was standing on a cliff overlooking the city.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes, carefully observing the layout of the gymnasium.

Five off-road vehicles are lined up side by side on the red track outside the stadium, and a huge electronic board is erected in the center of the stadium, which seems to show the names of five people, each with a number "0" after their name.The location of Zhenya is far away from the electronic card, and most people can hardly see what is written on it. However, Zhenya still has good eyesight and captured the four characters "Shinichi Hirobe" among the five names.

As for the upper part of the gymnasium, the edge of the ceiling is surrounded by crawlers. On the crawlers are several iron plates that are as wide as a person and are similar to stands. Due to the large area of ​​the gymnasium itself, the distance between the iron plates is quite far.Shinya was thinking about what these iron plates were for, when he heard a cold shout not far away: "Quiet!"

She froze for a moment, then looked up to the source of the voice.

A huge light screen projection appeared above the sports field, showing the figure of a woman.

The woman was in her early twenties, with black hair tied high behind her head, sharp eyes, and a crisp and sharp personality that could be seen from the only thin black sports bra on her body.After looking around the audience with an almost contemptuous gaze, she smiled cruelly and said, "What, are this group just a group of noisy brats who have never seen the world?"

Most of the students present were not ordinary people, and the undisguised disdain and disappointment in her tone could be said to be a challenge to their self-esteem.After finishing speaking, most of the people present showed a hint of displeasure on their faces.

"What did you say—"

A big man with a heavy sniper gun stepped forward and was about to curse, but was pulled back by his companion.Mami glanced at his still angry face, and secretly sighed.

This boy knew at a glance that he was the kind of overly impulsive person who was easily disadvantaged in battle, while the female teacher behind the light screen was even worse in terms of irritable personality.Having said that, Misaki seems to be quite impulsive at times, do you want to remind him next time you see him——

"That guy will die soon."

——Suddenly a whisper sounded in my ear.

Maki was taken aback, and turned her head with her eyes wide open.

The one who made the sound was a beautiful blonde curly-haired girl. From the foreign appearance, it can be inferred that she should be of mixed race.She wrapped her fingers around her hair, and her expression was as calm as if the words just now hadn't come from her mouth.After meeting Mami's eyes, the blond girl gave her a friendly smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, did my talking to myself scare you? Sure enough, I shouldn't have said it directly."

She apologized in such a serious manner that Mami couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"No, I have nothing..."

"That's okay! ——But, don't you think that kind of guy is really annoying?" The blond girl approached her ear, and whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Never use your brain to do things, When I really encounter something, I will just yell and shout, and keep dragging down my teammates... Tsk tsk, I hope I won't have this kind of partner by then."

Maki was speechless.

She felt that what the other party said was too exaggerated, but she didn't know what to say to refute, so she could only keep silent.The blond girl didn't seem to expect her to answer either, and returned to her original position after speaking.Before she left, Maya took a special look at the girl, and after seeing the sniper gun behind her, she became a little bit clearer.

——I see, is it from the Sniper Division?

Hirobe beside her asked her about her situation with worried eyes, and she shook her head to indicate that she was fine.At this moment, the woman—the woman behind the light screen spoke again.

"My name is Lan Bao, and I'm your examiner for this exam." She yawned, as if she was extremely impatient with this task, "Listen to me the rules of the exam—the five cars there are for You are from the vehicle department," Lan Bao pointed to the five off-road vehicles on the sports field, "you have to drive them to avoid the sniper attacks from the students of the sniper department."

As soon as these words came out, all the candidates including Shinya immediately understood what was going on.

"On the contrary, the candidates of the sniper department have to snipe the students of the vehicle department on the five iron plates on the ceiling."

——This... This is to make them kill each other!

Lan Bao didn't seem to see their dumbfounded expressions, and continued to talk on his own: "Of course, if it's just like this, it's too boring, so the students in the vehicle department have to compete in car racing besides avoiding snipers. The ranking after completing [-] laps will affect your score - as for how to compete for the ranking, no matter what method is used, it can be forgiven."

"As for the sniper department, the iron plate you are on will move with the tracks, and you have to choose the parts of the vehicle to snipe. The score of each shot will be adjusted according to the lethality of the part you sniped. Each person will be assigned Ten rounds of bullets, the assessment will be considered as the end of the assessment when the bullets are used up."

The whole place was silent.

In other words...you can do whatever you want.

"Finally——you must abide by the three 'prohibited'." Lan Bao raised three slender fingers, "First, the 'prohibited' exit midway. Second, the snipers are 'prohibited' to snipe each other. Third, the 'prohibited' 'in lieu of an exam. If you are found to have the above behavior, you will be disqualified as a student of Tokyo Butei High School."

The different looks of the candidates seemed to amuse her.After finishing speaking, the woman with the ponytail laughed viciously:

"Then, the exam will officially start in five minutes. I really look forward to what you can do, little brats."

<<<<<<

Maya watched the stadium through the scope of the sniper rifle.

Just like a 1000-meter long-distance race, the vehicles occupying different runways are separated by a certain distance.In several identical off-road workshops, she couldn't tell which one belonged to Hirobe Shinichi, so she had no way of knowing whether her own bullet hit his vehicle the next moment.

However, this situation is the most gratifying for her.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry about releasing the water because the other party is an acquaintance. Besides, a person like Mr. Hirobe would not want others to release the water for him.

She looked away from the scope and checked the parts on the sniper-gun again.After coming to the conclusion that there was no serious problem, she continued to lie on the iron board in a half-prone position in a daze.

Looking down from this position, the walking people completely turned into ants.Maya couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't have a fear of heights, otherwise the fall would have been wonderful.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Sure enough, I'm still very nervous..."

She didn't have any professional training in shooting. It can be said that she is a complete layman. Giving her a difficult sniper test at this time is no different from trying to catch a duck on the shelf.Although she can still try to make up for this gap in the next three years, she can't help but feel sad when she thinks of the dismal results later.

The other candidates look very good... I am really ashamed of myself in this situation.

but--

Her index finger tightened on the trigger.

- She won't give up.

"Yazawa Maya" has a "reason" to work hard.

Therefore, even if your evaluation results are not ideal, you have to make a final effort for it——!

"Are you ready, everyone? Then I'm going to start counting down."

Lan Bao's lazy voice echoed in the silent gymnasium.Everyone held their breath.

"three--"

The sound of the engine starting was heard.

"two--"

The "click" sound of the sniper gun being loaded followed closely one after another.

"one--"

Maya tensed her body, and her gaze through the scope was firm.

"The exam begins!"
