Academy Island, Tokyo Butei High School.
At this moment, many students at Butei High were whispering about something in a certain direction.
“Is it those two?”
“The rumored Assault geniuses?”
“They say they both gained an S-Rank Rating in yesterday’s entrance exam.”
“Gaining an S-Rank rating on the entrance exam? Is that even possible?”
“That’s definitely a sign of genius.”
Even without mentioning names, everyone knew exactly who the students were talking about.
Without a doubt, it was Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji, who had just stepped into the campus.
Fang Li was somewhat used to this attention, but Tohyama Kinji scratched his head, feeling a bit annoyed.
“Why is everyone making such a fuss?”
Hearing this, Fang Li chuckled and said, “It’s not making a fuss, it’s just the natural astonishment. Don’t you know that in the Assault Department, an S-Rank represents an individual’s combat ability equivalent to a whole Special Forces squad?”
“Huh?” Tohyama Kinji was startled.
It was no joke.
Although different countries had varying team sizes for squads, platoons, and companies, in the most standard formation, a squad had at least 20 members, and a platoon had at least 50 members, all of them equivalent to special forces soldiers.
But an S-Rank Butei in the Assault Department represented someone capable of single-handedly matching the combat strength of an entire Special Forces squad.
Given this situation, it was no wonder people around them were amazed that both new students had gained S-Rank ratings on their first day of the entrance exam.
“It’s even mentioned in the entrance manual.” Fang Li rolled his eyes and said, “And you seriously didn’t know?”
“Why is it even mentioned in the entrance manual?” Tohyama Kinji complained, feeling a bit frustrated. “Who would have thought they’d write about this kind of stuff in there?”
“Well then, you’ll have to get used to it from now on,” Fang Li shrugged, steering the conversation back to their main objective. “But let’s put that aside for now and focus on solving the issue with my gun.”
As mentioned before, at Butei High School, students were obligated to carry firearms and swords.
During the entrance exam, Fang Li didn’t have a firearm; he only had a dagger, which resulted in him getting scolded by Ranbyou.
“What kind of Butei are you without a gun? Get a dozen or twenty guns ready for yourself as soon as possible!”
That’s what Ranbyou ‘Nee San’ had said.
Of course, Fang Li didn’t actually go and get a dozen or twenty guns, as that would be a hassle.
But due to the school rules, Fang Li had to at least get one gun, or he probably wouldn’t even be allowed to enter the gate for the fifth-period class in the Assault Department.
Fortunately, Butei High had no shortage of firearms and ammunition. For instance, in the Equipment department, which mainly focused on the purchase, modification, and distribution of weapons, one could buy the desired gun as long as they were willing to spend the money.
Moreover, Butei High also had a group of shops known as the purchasing department, referred to as convenience stores by the students. These stores sold military supplies sourced from both the U.S. military stationed in Japan and Butei enterprises.
“Let’s go to the Equipment department first.” Fang Li suggested, turning to Tohyama Kinji, and asked, “By the way, what kind of gun do you use?”
“The Beretta M92F model from the United States, developed by the Italian company Beretta. It was selected by the U.S. military as the new standard-issue pistol. The bullet is a 9mm Parabellum round, with a total length of 217 millimeters, an initial velocity of 333.7 meters per second, an effective range of 50 meters, and a bullet capacity of 15 rounds.” Tohyama Kinji said somewhat absentmindedly, “However, I don’t feel quite comfortable with this gun, so I plan to ask the people in the Equipment department to modify it later, at least to make it fully automatic.”
“Is that so?” Fang Li nodded.
After all, Fang Li was not a military enthusiast, and he wasn’t very familiar with firearms and ammunition, so he naturally couldn’t contribute much to the topic.
Tohyama Kinji seemed to have guessed this and sighed, saying, “To have such a level of combat ability without even knowing the types of handguns, you really are an unusual person.”
“I can’t help it. For me, the importance of a gun is not as high as that of a dagger,” Fang Li carelessly said. “At least, having a sharp weapon in hand gives me a greater sense of security than a gun.”
As long as he had a sharp weapon, Fang Li believed he had a chance to defeat any powerful opponent.
But with a gun in hand, it wasn’t always the case.
Let alone anything else, during the entrance exam, Fang Li used Tohyama Kinji’s Beretta to fire a shot, and he was directly sent flying by the recoil.
In the world of Butei, where Superhumans of various kinds and even those with extraordinary abilities operated secretly, the threat of bullets wasn’t as significant.
Unless, like Tohyama Kinji, one entered Hysteria Mode, allowing them to handle a handgun’s shooting with finesse, akin to playing a musical instrument with their fingers. Otherwise, a gun was just a weapon with intimidation power.
If it weren’t for school rules or future convenience in work, Fang Li wouldn’t really want to spend money buying firearms and ammunition. It would be a waste of money.
With this in mind, Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji headed to the Equipment department building together.
…
Tokyo Butei High School, Assault Department.
In the shooting training room on the underground floor of the Assault Department building, Fang Li held a fully black automatic pistol in his hand, aimed it at the humanoid target in front, and without the slightest hesitation, pulled the trigger.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
Accompanied by the continuous muzzle flames, bullets showered out like a curtain of rain, landing on the target in an instant.
“Pa pa pa pa Pa!”
In the crisp sound, a considerable number of bullets hit the humanoid target, leaving bullet holes in it.
Seeing this scene, Tohyama Kinji, who was also training in shooting nearby, was dumbfounded. Watching Fang Li swiftly reload the gun and continue shooting, accurately hitting the humanoid target with almost no misses, Tohyama Kinji’s eyebrows twitched.
“That guy, is this really his first time with a gun?”
If that were the case, this level of accuracy seemed too unbelievable.
However, from Fang Li’s way of holding the gun, it was obvious that he was an amateur.
“Even with that amateur way of holding the gun, he can maintain such accuracy?”
It was like a joke.
Of course, Tohyama Kinji didn’t know that Fang Li’s accuracy wasn’t really that high.
The reason he could continuously hit the target like this was merely due to the additional effect of the newly obtained title.
You see, Fang Li’s title could enhance his accuracy.
