“She’s right, shooting from 100 meters away is really difficult.”
“I agree. During our training, I only managed to hit the 5th ring. It seems like Hannah will definitely be the winner of the shooting category!”
The others nodded in agreement.
Even though Hannah didn’t hit the target of her expectations, the voices of affirmation around her helped her regain her confidence. When she returned to her seat to wait for the results, she glanced at Janet coldly and there was a look of disdain on her face.
The other five contestants could only hit the 5th ring at best, and some of them didn’t even hit the shooting board. Hitting the 4th or 5th ring was already a pretty good score.
The first six contestants finished their first rounds and the ranking appeared on the screen.
The first was Hannah from medical school who hit the 8th ring; the second was Tory Hines from the dance school who hit the 5th ring; the third was Judy Bird from the school of physics who hit the 4th ring; the fourth was Holt Kennedy from the media and communication school who hit the 2nd ring; the fifth was Elmer Shelton from the performing arts school who didn’t hit any ring; the fifth was Ruth French from the department of chemistry who also, didn’t hit any ring.
At that moment, only Janet hadn’t participated in the first round.
“Janet Jackson from medical school, please prepare,” the chief instructor stood onstage and announced with a microphone.
Hearing this, everybody focused their gaze on Janet.
“Janet, it’s your turn,” the person sitting next to Janet whispered.
Janet opened her eyes and there was a cold expression on her face. She nodded in reply and walked toward the shooting position with her hands in her pockets.
Hannah stared at Janet and there was a look of irony and disdain on her face. She actually fell asleep at this crucial moment? She probably doesn’t care about this competition and already gave up on the shooting category. After all, she never even attended practice. She probably doesn’t even know how to hold a gun! I’m curious to see how Janet will embarrass herself in front of everyone.
At the same time, Janet was already standing on the shooting platform and aiming at the shooting board.
Hannah watched Janet’s every movement attentively, trying to analyze her skills. As expected, Janet’s every movement was like a newbie and she seemed to have had no experience with guns at all. Judging from how she’s holding the rifle, she’ll definitely miss the shooting board this round!
A loud bang echoed around the arena and Janet put down her rifle blankly. Everyone looked at the screen to see how she scored. The screen lit up and the judge announced, “7th ring.”
Hearing the judge’s voice, Janet was expressionless, as if she had expected this result. I can’t believe that I only hit the 7th ring. Hannah is probably overjoyed right now! Janet pouted and a gleam of disappointment appeared in her eyes.
When everyone heard the judge’s announcement, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Janet hitting the 7th ring was expected, but slightly surprising.
As expected, Janet lost to Hannah in the first round. But to their surprise, Janet managed to hit the 7th ring. She’s lucky!
Hannah smiled joyfully, then smirked and raised an eyebrow. In a sarcastic tone, she muttered to herself, “Tsk-tsk. She’s planning to defeat me with the 7th ring? In her dreams!” What a joke! I can’t believe that she even dared to say that she’ll defeat me before the competition! Judging from her shooting posture, she probably hit the 7th ring out of luck!
After the first round ended, the ranking list on the screen was updated. The current contestant in first place was Hannah, who hit the 8th ring. The contestant in second place was Janet, who hit the 7th ring.
At that moment, everyone thought that the winner of the shooting category would definitely be Hannah!
