At this moment, everyone thought that Su An would accept the rifle without hesitation.
After all, it was a well-maintained and perfectly tuned Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. For any marksman, it was a dream partner.
However, Su Tang simply glanced at the brand-new rifle. The gun body gleamed with a cold metallic luster, and it would feel warm to the touch. The mechanism was smooth, making it an impeccable gun.
But she gently shook her head, her clear voice ringing out distinctly in the noisy shooting range:
"Reporting to the instructor, no need."
In an instant, the entire shooting range seemed to be muted.
What? !
After a brief silence, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
"What...what did she say? She doesn't need it?"
"Did I hear that right? She doesn't want a good gun? Is this girl out of her mind? Has she lost her mind from the fever?"
"She's insane, absolutely insane! She didn't take the chance!"
Zhang Ruobing was also stunned. She frowned and said, "Su An, think carefully. This is not a joke. This is related to your final assessment score, and even whether you can stay!"
Su Tang's expression remained unchanged. She raised her eyes and looked calmly at Zhang Ruobing, "I'm already used to the temper of that gun. For the assessment, let's use it."
She's gone mad! She must be insane!
This reflects the sentiments of the vast majority of people present.
To achieve a good score with a broken gun is an extraordinary feat, a stroke of incredible luck.
But she actually wants to replicate that miracle again in the formal assessment using that broken gun? How incredibly arrogant!
Li Yue whispered in Qiao Lin's ear, her tone full of schadenfreude: "Sister Lin, look at her. The instructor gave her a way out, but she still insisted on pushing her way in. Does she really think she's a shooting god? Well, now she's going to get eliminated and kicked out."
Qiao Lin's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes! We'll use that broken gun. Let's see how you try to fool us this time. Keep showing off, keep showing off. What will you do when you miss?"
On the other side, Bai Wei's expression was even more unpleasant.
Jiang Yan's words, "a born sharpshooter," had already stuck in her heart like a thorn.
Now, Su An's actions are seen by her as a blatant humiliation... She doesn't use a good gun because she thinks that using a bad gun is enough to crush her?
Bai Wei grew angrier the more she thought about it, and turned to Jiang Yan, saying, "This Su An, she doesn't seem as smart as you think. The instructor gave her a good gun, but she still insisted on showing off."
She had thought that Jiang Yan would side with her without hesitation and agree with her point of view, which would make her feel better.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan's gaze remained fixed on Su Tang, and he said without looking away:
"For a top marksman, a gun is not just a tool, but an extension of his body. Comrade Su An has completely figured out the bullet trajectory deviation and all the subtle flaws of this gun in the shooting just now."
“For her, the trajectory of this ‘bad gun’ was known and controllable. Switching to a new gun, even a perfect one, would mean needing to readjust and introducing unknown variables. In an assessment that demands extreme precision, choosing a gun that is completely under her control, even if it has flaws, is the safest and most confident choice.”
Jiang Yan paused, his tone carrying an undisguised admiration: "She's not showing off; she's choosing a fighting style that offers the highest certainty for herself."
So that's how it is... It actually makes some sense.
But Bai Wei found it somewhat jarring.
Is Jiang Yan speaking up for Su An? He actually speaks highly of her?
A burning anger, a mixture of jealousy and resentment, raged within her, and without thinking, she spoke.
