My Professor is a Bastard

Chapter 40: Ability

Galillea's PoV (April 28, 2123)

''Ara Ara. Don't you dare shout at me. I can always report this to Arthur himself.''

''We can also report you to the police about the murder of your secretary.'' Zeke mom's said.

''If you have a an evidence it will work. But, the question is do you have the evidence that I, Galillea Reevish, a freaking Reevish. An enemy of your clan did the murder? Hahahahahahahaha. You think the police will believe that poor accusation of yours?''

''That goes for you, too.'' a young man suddenly said.

''Oh. It's the math genius of the Fleandear clan. You've got half a point for that comment. But...HAHAHAHAHA!''

''Stop laughing, Galillea!''

''Are you somewhat nervous? Well, yes! You should be!''

The look on their faces is priceless. HAHAHAHA! AMAZING!

''See this!'' I grabbed a recorder from my bag.

The look on their shitty faces are even worse.

''Once I leaked this, your lives will be over. If you will bring me down, I will bring you with me. HAHAHAHAHAAHA''

I held my car keys and played with them.

''Good bye, Fleandears. The plan wasn't bad as I thought. I approved of it. But I will do things my way.'' I said before smashing the door closed.

Bye bye!

Hahahahahaha! Scaredy cats! What a bunch of idiots!

I simply cannot wait for two weeks.

Glenn's PoV (present time: October 16, 2134. 19:03. Location: Fleandear Mansion.)

''Arthur! Your back!'' a woman in his mid-80's hugged Papa Arthur.

''Who is she?'' I asked Dad.

''That's Aunt Gilda. She is the one who took care of Arthur when his parents died. Be gentle to her, she's old now.''

''Okay, Da-''

''Ahhh! Glenn!'' Grandma Gilda suddenly said. That scared me.

''Grandma Gilda!'' I said.

''What a gentle boy. No wonder Stella is made for you.''

''Thank you for the compliment, grandma.''

''Aya...I'm gonna live until I see Stella walked the aisle.''

I blushed. The Fleandear's surely is sweet talkers.

Dad goes home after dinner at the mansion. Grandma Gilda persuaded me to sleep the night here. She offered me Stella's room. Although Papa Arthur didn't agree, it is Grandma's wish.

I entered Stella's room. Her fragrance is all over the room.

Stella's room is purple. From her door to her sheets.

All of the miniatures are purple, including the stuffed toys. Her mirror and bed frames are purple with purple pillows and blanket.

The bed looks inviting.

I jumped into it. Her smell is much stronger her. Seems like she just came out here a minute ago. The heat is there. The tingling feeling is there. Its in my loin. I have to control myself. This is my first time here but I want to masturbate? How funny, Glenn.

I closed my eyes and thought about Stella. Hope she is doing great there. I'll be sleeping here until the problem is solved.

This will be my comfort space from now on.

Stella's PoV (October 18, 2134)

The war is near. Our special lessons in Sniping is increased. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. We have to attend it.

''Okay, Stella Fleandear and Caspian Hutton. Today, you two will learn about Counter-Sniper tactics. Stella, we have a bet and it will be on Friday. You need to know this.''

''Sir, yes, sir.''

''During the stalking phase of your attack, you, as sniper will, if time allows, try to identify high-value targets, such as senior officers or senior NCOs. NCO's are non-commissioned officer is a military officer who has not earned a commission, in this case, it will be me. Non-commissioned officers usually obtain their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted ranks. They will do this by closely observing the behavior of the people in front of them. The intention is to identify who is in charge and then prepare to fire at them. It naturally follows that leaders should attempt to blend into the background by avoiding anything that distinguishes them from the most junior soldiers and attracts the interest of a sniper. In order to reduce a sniper's ability to damage the chain of command, doctrine and equipment need to prevent any observable leadership behaviors and signs. Insignia, e.g. rank insignia, should be subdued, camouflage colors on battledress, battledress identical for all ranks, military servants and rank-based luxuries, like saluting, avoided in forward areas, and commands and instruction should be given discreetly. Additionally, other acts such as looking at maps, using a radio, pointing authoritatively, abstaining from menial tasks and other forms of body language can betray an officer's rank. However, if a sniper cannot identify an officer or NCO, they may then select any person that they have a good chance of hitting. Valuable assets should be parked in sand-bagged redoubts until they are launched, preventing "anti-materiel" attacks. This is a prudent tactic in any circumstance, as it prevents damage from fragments.''

Today, will surely be a long practice.

''I, your special professor came from U.K.A. You two knew that. In the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corporation in my country, all ranks of sergeant are termed NCO's, as are corporals in the Army and Marine Corps. The Marine Corps rank of lance corporal is not an NCO, but rather a junior enlisted rank directly below corporal. The rank of corporal in the Army and Marine Corps is a junior NCO, and is to be shown the same respect as any other NCO. However the rank of Specialist in the US Army, also with a corporal pay grade, is not authorized to command troops and as such is not considered an NCO. In the Air Force, staff sergeant and technical sergeant are classified under the NCO tier, while master sergeant, senior master sergeant, and chief master sergeant are considered senior non-commissioned officers or SNCO's. In the Navy and Coast Guard, all ranks of petty officer are so designated. Junior NCO's, or simply NCO's in Marine Corps usage, and function as first-tier supervisors and technical leaders.''

They really have a long list of ranking officials. I miss Glenn. Hope he is doing great there.

''...Within the U.K.A Navy there are different ways that a sailor can earn accelerated advancement to the rank of petty officer third class. If a person tests high enough on their entrance exam they are able to select certain jobs that require a significant amount of training, far greater than the amount required for a basic job. Because these jobs are more technically advanced, the schools have higher attrition rates, demand more responsibility, and require longer initial enlistments, these sailors are able to advance to petty officer third class. Another way for a sailor to earn accelerated advancement is by graduating in the top 10 percent of their class within their A school. For certain ratings, such as Corpsman, this has been discontinued. That goes for the Non-commisioned officers. Let's continue on the Counter-Sniper tactics.''

''Sir!'' Caspian raised his hand.

''What is it, Mr. Hutton?'' he said.

''Why did you explain the whole thing about Non-commisioned officer? Is it that important?''

I looked at our professor.

He smiled and answers.

''Yes, it is. For you have to know who is your NCO. And as I said, it is me.''

''Thank you for the answer.''

''I shall continue. Sniper versus sniper. You two have a chance of 30 percent to encounter this scenario during the war. If Calchimera Armed forces is smart enough, they will assign a sniper or two to protect the King from towers...''

That will be a big trouble. For our escape, if the enemy sniper knows our location, both me and Caspian will be dead meat.

''A friendly sniper is generally the most effective counter-sniper tool. With similar training, knowledge of the surroundings, and equipment, the friendly sniper can offer advice to the squad, enhanced searching capability, and combat the enemy sniper directly. When told what to watch for, the squad can also act as additional eyes and ears for the friendly sniper. Aside from watching over the squad, the friendly sniper also has the option to detach and engage the enemy sniper. Without any outside help from the squad, the respective skills of each sniper play a significant role in determining victory. Though there is a technique that can always cpounter the enemy sniper's location. It is called Triangulation. In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by forming triangles to the point from known points. This also applies in sniping. It is a technique at two or more locations can more accurately identify the position of a sniper at the time of firing. This is a 50 50 percent chance of surviving. In this war, we are certain to have 3 snipers. You and Caspian the duo and a fifth year student. When the special break ends, the three of you will be training together. With you three...''

It is perfect triangle. We will have three different positions. One of us will shoot the King while the other two watch out for enemy snipers and save the spies inside the castle by protecting them from attacking knights.

''Perfect Triangle!'' professor suddenly exclaimed.

''Sir?!'' Caspian and I said.

''Ahh-Ahhhh. It's just that...It has been a dream of mine to train three snipers that can form a perfect Triangulation. I am very sorry for my weird behaviour. I will now continue...''

That was weird. But, I guess kinda cute for his age to still hold unto such childish dream.

''...A sniper must have the ability to accurately estimate the various factors that influence a bullet's trajectory and point of impact such as: range to the target, wind direction, wind velocity, altitude and elevation of the sniper and the target and ambient temperature. Mistakes in estimation compound over distance and can decrease lethality or cause a shot to miss completely. You three have this ability.''

*Ring *Ring

The bell rang.

''We will have the next lesson on Wednesday. Read your book at page 57. It is focusing on Counter-Sniper tactics. I hope that next meeting will be ending the Counter-Sniper Tactics. Now, goodbye to the two of you.''

''Good bye, Professor.''

Caspian and I grabbed flavored milk yogurt in the canteen before going to back to our room.

''Bye, Caspian!'' I said as we parted ways.

He bid goodbye and I entered the room. Peach and Rheanelle were already there.

''Still busy?'' I asked Peach.

''Yes. The Queen of Britain always wanted me to see her every now and then.''

''She really must be enjoying your presence.'' I said as I sat between them.

''The Queen must still have think your still engaged with her grandson.'' Rheanelle said that made me kick her foot.

''Ouch!''

She complained.

''It's fine, you two. I am now engaged with Brent and I have no lingering emotions for Prince Sebastian other guilt as I have failed in protecting him.''

The two of us, Rheanelle and me, went silent. Peach is so mature. She will reign as Queen if we win this war.

''Hey, if we win the war, give me a high position in the military.'' I said.

''Huh? You still want to be in a military after the war?'' Rheanelle asked. Ppeach looked at us.

''Do you not want another thing, Stella?''

''Well, I have always wanted to be a traveler but not until I find my mom's murderer.'' I said.

''Okay. I will give you a high rank. You can travel with it too.''

''That's great! How about you, Rheanelle?'' I asked.

''After the war, I still have to solved my problem about my true family. But after that I will keep pursuing as a doctor. I am sure that Peach will hire me as the Royal Doctor, though.''

''Of course! I will be happy to hire yo---''

Our conversation was cut off. Professor Xyron went inside.

''Silence, Class 1-A. We will continue our Battlefield first aid. This lesson takes into account the specific needs of treating wounded combatants and non-combatants during armed conflict. Conflict First Aid focuses on support for stability and recovery of personal, social, group or system well-being and to address circumstantial safety needs. Battlefield medicine, also called field surgery and later combat casualty care, is the treatment of wounded combatants and non-combatants in or near an area of combat. Civilian medicine has been greatly advanced by procedures that were first developed to treat the wounds inflicted during combat. With the advent of advanced procedures and medical technology, even polytrauma can be survivable in modern wars. Battlefield medicine is a category of military medicine.''

This lesson will only be useful to doctorate students here.

''I shall begin!''
