Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 51

Julian looked at her smiling face and clapped excitedly to cheer her on. Overall, he was indeed impressed that she managed to hit the target from such a distance.

Rayne walked over and handed Julian the gun, then ran off to reset the tin cans.

Julian looked at the loaded gun in his hand and shook his head. This girl is way too trusting.

She ran back to the picnic table and looked smugly at Julian. "Okay, Mr. Master Marksman, let’s see what you can do!" she teased.

Julian’s competitive spirit ignited at her "prove yourself" tone. He rarely felt the need to show off, but for some reason, he wanted to be a little extra in front of Rayne.

Julian stayed sitting on the bench and lifted his arm, holding the gun up. He held his position for a few seconds, then...

Bam! Bam! Bam!

He shot three consecutive shots without any delay, hitting each can cleanly off the tree stump.

Rayne watched his fluid movements with awe! She felt that he looked cooler than any actor in an action movie!

"Wow! Julian, you really weren’t kidding about being skilled!" she exclaimed, complimenting him on his shots.

Julian’s face blushed slightly at her nonstop praise. He realized that he liked this feeling of being praised for something. Maybe it’s because I can tell she’s being genuine, unlike those other women in the past.

Julian motioned for Rayne to come over so that he could give her a few tips.

"So, your overall stance is very good; however, it’ll only take you so far. If you only plan to shoot at a range, then you should be all set, but shooting in the real world is a little different."

He continued to give Rayne detailed explanations on how she could improve, along with praise for the things she’d already mastered.

Rayne listened closely, soaking up all the new information. She didn’t get upset or discouraged when Julian pointed out a mistake. She knew he was trying to help her improve, and this information could give her the upper hand in the future.

They spent the rest of the day practicing shooting. Rayne had to go and "retrieve" a few more boxes of ammo throughout the process.

They only stopped once the sun started to set, making it too dark to see the soda cans in the distance.

"Oh wow, we’ve been at this for a long time. I’m sorry to have taken up so much of your time!" said Rayne. She was so in the zone that she hardly realized how much time had passed!

"Haha, no worries. I was having a really enjoyable time, so don’t feel bad," replied Julian.

Rayne still felt slightly guilty, so she decided to treat Julian to an extra-special dinner. "It’s probably close to dinner time. Allow me to cook something delicious to make it up to you!"

Julian smiled, shaking his head. "You don’t owe me anything, but I’ll gratefully enjoy anything you make."

Rayne smiled and ran back inside the camper. She felt bad leaving Julian to just sit outside on his own, so she picked up her laptop and brought it over to the picnic table.

Julian smiled. He wasn’t sure when the last time he watched a TV show was, but since he had nothing better to do, he didn’t refuse. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
