The duo walked shoulder to shoulder to the canteen, passing the crowd standing aghast.

One, in particular, led the charge of a thunderous applause. Soon, the shooting range barraged with booming claps.

The group of recruits who sneered and shamed them previously walked to the barracks shamefully, their heads bowed down and eyes pale. Theyd never believe till now a pistol was used to shoot a bullseye on a hundred-meter target against Officer Brandts fifty-meter target fired with his rifle.

Kyles sharpshooting ingenuity and prowess deserved the thunderous applause and respect the crowd gave priori. Not only so in the barracks, but the worthy respect so wholly deserved should also spread throughout the recruit military station.

Its nutritional, the meals, Ill give you that, but its lacking in taste. Kyle muttered words of disdain while walking out the canteen and into the barracks. He needed a rest after the stressful event.

After the risky gamble with Officer Brandt, the recruits no longer chagrined Kyle or caused him hints of displeasure. Their demeanor turned a hundred eighty.

In Steves words, they who were indifferent and cared not of Kyles existence were now akin to a wanton, shameless, and immodest dogs. Theyd stick their face in sole attempts to lick his boots and form a hopeful long-lasting friendship. They who used to bark at his sight now wagged their tails in delight. Such scenic view, itd have never occur had Kyle not showcase his strength and talent.

Enjoying the convenient benefits of drawing in skill cards, Kyle grew fond of the idea of enhancing himself through this shameless means. Matter of fact, it seemed to be his sole guiding purpose in this life.

In the barracks of nearly twenty recruits, Kyle was like that of a dry sponge, absorbing all drops of skill cards he managed to grab hold. Though disappointing at the quality of the skill cards, the recruits were still young. They have too few experiences hence resulting in all too many white skill cards and dismal green skill cards.

Kyle sighed.

Agent Peggy Carter she has twenty green skill cards and all amazing and worthy of awe! I wonder when Ill have the chance to extract them

His groggy back leaned back on the bed lost in thought.

Steve stuck his head out and leaned over, curiously asking, Kyle, what are you thinking about?

Agent Carter. Deep in thought, Kyle quickly blurted out.

Ah Steves face grew rigid. So its Agent Carter.

This guy Kyle smiled. Steve, I know you have feelings for Agent Carter, however deep that may be. Rest assured, I wont take the woman you like. I would never do that to you, my friend.

You Kyle Steves heart moved. He relished at the thought of her but quickly wiped it away. No, forget it. Someone like her doesnt deserve someone like me.

Dont underestimate yourself. You have so much potential. Believe in yourself, Steve. Kyle patted his friends shoulder and poured in words of support. If you want to pursue her, run and chase after her. Dont forget your will and drive. Tap into your potential. Make a move as if youre on the battlefield and your life depended on it!

You can do anything, Steve. After all, youre Captain America. During this time, you were growing and learning how to be a leader; during this time, you began inspiring hope in people

Thank you, Kyle. It means a lot. Steve nodded appreciatively before retiring back to bed.

Though I have the skill cards, Steve, youll always be one step ahead of me.

Kyle pushed the thoughts aside and returned his attention back to the skill cards. Apart from the hundred or so white skill cards in his grasp, he only had five green skill cards.

Apart from the hundred or so white cards covering various skills, he currently only held five green cards.

Rifle Master

English Proficiency Master

Boxing Master

Psychological Master

True Pistol Master

Among them, theTrue Pistol Masterskill card shone a far ephemeral color, its luster brighter than the other four.

True Pistol MasterMaster proficiency in pistols. Rare green skill card.

This skill card, it was his most valuable skill card absorbed from Agent Carter. With this, hed easily defeat anyone who claimed to be proficient in weapons or if ever he found himself in a weaponry scuffle, otherwise, had he used Officer Brandts Rifle Masterskill card, the possibility of the outcome winnings would only be a fifty/fifty when competing against Officer Brandt.

Rare green skill card green skill card white skill card Kyle paused. So it seems the rare green skill cards are harder to encounter than their counterparts. Their requirements too are high. Well, theres no need to worry. Im not in the battlefield right now. As for the rest of the skill cards in my collection, it isnt very useful what I need most are skill cards able to enhance my physical capabilities!

Kyle thought this body wasnt too bad, otherwise, hed only fall to his death upon catching a heat stroke on the first day of training.

To efficiently adapt to the environments high-intensity training, hed need to change his physique and absorbing theBeginner Boxer, Beginner Runner, and theBeginner Swimmerwhite skill cards would prove some use. Unfortunately, the white skill cards provided little to no use, only a slight boost. Only the green skill card would give him an obvious change.

Tomorrow, Ill look for more skills cards to extract with emphasis placed on physique skill cards. Kyles eyes twinkled like the starry night. The base was his target for the hunting.
