Chapter 9 - Monster Recruit (1)
Chapter 9: Monster Recruit (1)
Early Morning.
The recruitâs finished their breakfast in tandem and quickly loaded in a set of morning exercise. Thereafter, they hurriedly ran to the barracks and dressed themselves neatly in their utility uniform before gathering in the square awaiting their next order.
Their usual training officer was Officer Brandt but he was nowhere to be seen. Rather, a strong and muscular man in his late middle-age would be training them today. His pale skin tanned well under the bright sunshine and his muscles full and bulging.
âOfficer Brandt is off today so I will be leading the training today! My name is Joseph Kingsly but you will call me Instructor Kingsley! Is that understood?!â
âYes, Sir!â
âIs that understood?!â
âYes, Sir!â
âIs that understood?!â
âNow then, letâs get started.â
Joseph Kingsley looked at all the faces of the recruits.
His eyes landed on Kyle who was at the second row.
Steve turned his head nervously as he looked at his friend.
âYesterday, there seemed to be a popular new recruit who shined bright like a diamond in your team. Recruit, come on out!â Joseph Kingsley issued a command.
âOh, I didnât expect you to have a pretty face. Anyways, your pistol shooting can be counted as a professional sharpshooter.â He half praised. âBut you can only be a sharpshooter. To be a good American soldier, youâre far off! Boy, if you were close to the enemy right now, youâd be thrown down in less than a second!â
It seems the pressure in on me but this should be good!
Kyle smiled inwardly yet his face remained modest. âThis Recruit wonders if Instructor Kingsley will allow me the chance to learn from him?â
Naked provocation! The recruits behind suddenly pulled on their head.
There was a stagnation in Joseph Kingsleyâs heart. It grew dark and grim with anger. It is of no wonder Officer Brandt needed a timeâs rest to cool off his anger. This recruit is too bold and a simple thorn in the eyes!
But he did not reply in anger, only chuckling. âVery well. Then I will allow you the chance. Watch and learn closely as you experience this.â
âUmm⌠if this Recruit accidentally hurts Instructor Kingsley, what should this Recruit do?â Kyle worriedly questioned.
âThen, this Recruit wonât be polite, Sir!â As his voice fell, Kyle moved and was now only a few steps away from Joseph Kingsley. His hands clenched and unleashed theăBoxing Masterăskill card.
ăBoxing Masteră: Green skill card. Grasps the practical and fundamentals of boxing. Focuses on close handed combat.Â
Joseph Kingsley hadnât expected, no, heâd never thought that Kyle had full mastery in boxing and knew the fundamentals and theory behind it fully.
He hurriedly drew back and hastily put up a fighting method of defense resulting in a hidden pressure.
Regardless of the instructorâs rank, Kyle paid it no mind and unleashed his skill to its fullest. His moves werenât fancy, only straight to the point and simple. His end goal, after all, was to use the instructor as a sandbag for training.
âDonât get too cocky!â Joseph Kingsley paled and he soon felt the eyes of the recruits standing orderly behind slowly change in disbelief.
âEnough! You canât beat me just by learning boxing!â Joseph Kingsley began his counter attacks and instantly put pressure on Kyle. His hands stretched out and landed fierce strokes of punches on Kyleâs flesh.
âIndeed⌠youâre right but I have somethingâŚâ Kyle gasped, trying to resist the other partyâs attack while he focused on extracting the instructorâs skill cards.
ăBoxing Masteră,ăFighting Endurance Masteră,ăCounter Fight Masteră,ăTrue Fitness BodyăâŚÂ
Scouting through the instructorâs list of skill cards, there were a few sets of skill cards designed to improve his bodyâs physical condition. Moreover, they were green skill cards and among them was a rare green skill card!
Huh⌠no wonder I felt a sudden great pressure when he began his counter attack!
Kyleâs eyes flashed and he soon began extracting the skill cards from Joseph Kingsley.
The extraction of the green skill cards needed three minutes of time for it to be a complete success.
This was his real purpose to fight against Joseph Kingsley.
He needed to provoke the instructor so heâd be able to near closer to him.
