24 Chapter 24: Firearms Training

Razlov's leadership training has been successful, he was able to achieve what he wants to see. There were 4 people, 3 young men and 1 young woman who pass this training and these 4 people are Adam, Mark, Nelson, and Lesia. From his observation, these 4 people are the most suitable to become a leader of a fireteam so he decided that after this training when they graduate, he will immediately promote them to 'private first class'.

He knows that jumping ranks will be unfair to others since all of them should be rank as 'private' after they all graduate and then move to 'private second class' before becoming a 'private first class'. But Razlov has no choice since the organization had just been formed and he needed immediate leaders for different fireteams or squads.

These 4 people have different personality and attitude but they all have qualities of being a leader.

Adam was the first to join Razlov when he was recruiting. Adam is a little bit timid making the other saw him not suitable for being a team leader but what makes him exceptional is, he listen to others opinion and make the best course of action to be taken.

Mark is one those decisive fellows that follows what he thinks is right making people thinks that he is a reckless person. But he is not, he is actually a cautious person that does not tolerate mistakes. He makes his subordinates follow his orders absolutely right what and where he wanted them to be.

Nelson, well you can say that he is a person with natural charisma. People execute what he told them to be making the team's teamwork work in order. He also encourages his subordinates which keeps their morale high. This what makes him more of a good leader since morale is important in the army.

Then there's Lesia, Lesia is a person who is always calm no matter what situation she was in especially in dire circumstances. As she is calm in any situation, it makes her have a clear vision of what she should do. It made her actions more precise and thorough at accomplishing things.

Razlov is satisfied with the abilities and personality of 4 people he deems to be a good leader. Although they have some deficiencies, all of those can be achieved through training and experience that will make them a good leader.

Then after the additional week of leadership training, they move to firearms training.

But before they moved on he first congratulated them for passing the physical and mental training. He then told them why he's being mean to them and keeps calling them with abusive and provocative words, that although it's just for a show its also for them to prove that they are not what he called them to be.

"And if in the future that we have to recruit again and needs to expand our organization, I will personally select someone to be the drill instructor to train the new recruits."

Hearing what Razlov said, almost all of the recruits or cadets were overjoyed at what they heard that they couldn't help but yell in 'YES!'.

Razlov intent on saying that was to ease their resentment towards him. As he understands what they are feeling just like him when he was back on earth at the military academy or college. He also experienced what they experienced and it was even worse than that, that's why when he was finally got assigned to instruct a class of juniors he made them suffer to vent all his frustration during his junior years. That's why he understands their feelings, and just as he expected.

"Haha, I'll make all those newbies suffer!"

"I will finally get my revenge!"

"Idiot! you have to be selected first before you get to make the newbies suffer. That's why I need to be the one who should be chosen."

After the speech, Razlov gave the cadets a day to relax and have a fun cause in the next day it would be the start of the firearms training.

[Author note: I have to change the word 'recruit' to a 'cadet' as this is more appropriate than the recruit that I have previously been using]

On the next day, Razlov gave them a lesson first about the weapons that they would be using. He further explained to them all the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon, like for example, you have the advantage of range so the enemy will die first before they can approach you or for disadvantages is if something went inside the muzzle there will be a risk that the gun will explode.

Razlov was very thorough at how he was explaining it to them.

The cadets were listening intently to him as this will be an important factor for them of whether they will live or die. So they listen closely and were even taking note making sure that they would remember it.

He also taught them about the parts of the gun and he even disassembled it in front of them as he was explaining. He then let the cadets inspect it one by one as to for them to know how a gun works. Razlov also let the cadets disassemble and assemble the gun themselves, so he took 4 AK-47 and 4 Beretta M9 for them to practice on it.

Razlov used a whole for him to thoroughly taught them about guns. Then on the next day they finally started their firearms training but in the morning they still have to practice at disassembling and assembling the gun. He all made them do this, for them to memorize the different parts of the gun.

He first let them do some target practice, for them to get the feeling of using a gun before moving to a more intense practice like pop up targets, urban warfare, and jungle warfare. Razlov even personally instructed each one of them of how to position the gun when holding it or how your body should be positioned so that your body would be able to receive the impact of the gun recoil.

After learning how to fire the guns, the cadets finally proceeded on how using the guns in a different situation. Razlov prioritized in training them on urban warfare since this world is of the medieval age.

The cadets were divided between the leaders that were chosen by Razlov. Each of them has four subordinates and each team will compete with each other; teams that win will get a reward and those who lose will get punished.

When the competition was announced, the cadets were very enthusiastic about it since they would get to receive a reward if they won. They keep competing of whose team will get the shortest time in their practice.

Razlov could see their improvement as they kept competing with each other, especially those teams that were on the verge of losing since losing meant punishment; who would want to lose?

As days pass, Razlov just kept observing them while also feeling pained in his heart since most of the ten thousand ammo that the system had given is almost about to run out. Razlov could only grit his teeth as he kept saying to himself that 'Its okay, its okay since they are improving and when this training is over, all the things that have been spent will return and it would even be double than that maybe even triple'.

And so Razlov grit his teeth as he spent CP to buy ammo on the system Item shop.
